Yamaha announced today price reductions, along with increased network and control capabilities for the company's advanced neoHD Media Control AV receivers. The YMC-700 network A/V receiver is now priced at $499.95, while the YMC-500 now carries an MSRP of $299.95. In addition to the price reduction, the YMC-700 Wi-Fi version is now able to stream music from Pandora, the leading personalized internet radio service designed to help listeners discover new music as well as enjoy the music they already know. In addition to these new improvements, Yamaha will be releasing later this month a new App for the neoHD YMC-700 that will allow users to control all their connected devices via IR Control from an iPhone or iPad for greater control flexibility and ease of use.
