This AV receiver
completely supports with the latest HDMI
standards. Thanks to transmission of 4K
video at 60 frames per second
pass-through, you can fully enjoy the
high definition video quality of 4K
without degradation. It also adheres to
the HDCP2.2 copyright protection
standard for 4K video transmission.
The AVENTAGE line
of high-performance AV receivers is
based on the audio design concept of
providing a massive, full-bodied sound
for movie sound effects and the accurate
reproduction of music sources. By
expertly harmonizing traditional and
advanced technologies, every factor that
affects sound quality, from materials
and parts to construction, layout,
vibration damping (unique foot) and
"fine-tuning" the sound, is handled with
no other thought than to achieve the
best possible audio quality. As a
result, every AVENTAGE model has the
ability to reproduce the most subtle
details of high-definition sound, so
that listeners can enjoy a truly
high-class sound studio experience at
home.
The Anti-Resonance
Technology Wedge is a fifth foot in the
center of the unit. It dampens
vibrations from the power transformer,
power transistors and heat sinks, as
well as vibrations that might be caused
by the sound from the speakers.
All of the
AVENTAGE components feature the same
sleek, clean design, with an elegant
aluminum front panel and silky touch
volume/selector knobs. The aluminum
front panel is used to effectively
shield sensitive circuitry from external
noise and electronic radiation generated
by dimmer switches, fluorescent
lighting, video monitors and so on. This
ensures optimum sonic performance in the
widest range of installation
environments.
3D means the
receiver can handle 3D signal data. The
Audio Return Channel function enables
data to be sent and received via the
same HDMI cable, so you can hear the
sound from the TV via a single HDMI
cable, with no need for an extra optical
cable.
This AV receiver
is equipped with Bluetooth functionality
to let you enjoy easy wireless music
playback from smartphones and other
devices. Yamaha Compressed Music
Enhancer is now optimised for Bluetooth
audio transmission to ensure that your
music will have vivid, lively sound
quality even during wireless playback.
Another benefit of
HDMI is the availability of CEC
functionality. When the unit is
connected to a CEC compatible TV, it
will turn on and off together with the
TV, and you can use the TV remote to
control the volume. CEC also provides
advanced functionality with other
components. For example, you can use the
receiver's remote unit to control player
functions like Skip and Stop.
*All connected devices must be HDMI CEC
compatible. Some CEC compatible
TVs / players may not work.

and DSP modes and operate other
functions from an iPhone or Android
devices. You can also use in as many as
23* different languages and customise
the interface by hiding unused icons and
renaming functions. A tablet version is
also available.
This AV receiver
is equipped with a variety of sound
programmes that utilise Yamaha's
original DSP technology. They allow you
to easily create sound fields like
actual movie theatres or concert halls
in your room and enjoy natural
stereoscopic sound fields. Now you can
use the AV Controller app to adjust DSP
parameters to your preference to match
the type of music / movie or the mood
you want to achieve. There are two
modes, Basic and Advanced, that you can
choose according to the type of
adjustments you want to do.
This AV receiver
is compatible with many audio formats
such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master
Audio. It is also compatible with high
resolution audio codec such as DSD /
AIFF / FLAC / WAV / Apple Lossless. You
will enjoy excellent sound quality of
various high resolution audio codec from
USB and network content.
A USB port on the
front panel allows convenient connection
of an iPod / iPhone, which also charges
when connected. Because the digital
signal from the iPod / iPhone is
transmitted directly to the AV receiver,
there is no signal loss or interference,
so you enjoy the best possible sound
quality. In addition, you can use the
receiver's remote control unit to
operate the iPod / iPhone music playback
functions.
When music is
encoded into a digitally compressed
format like MP3, the frequency response
suffers. Yamaha's Compressed Music
Enhancer employs sophisticated digital
signal processing using exclusive
algorithms to restore what was lost, so
the music always sounds the way it
should.
Many live and
classical albums have no gaps in the
music. Gapless playback ensures that
there are no pauses between audio files.
This provides playback with no
interruptions, the way it was meant to
be heard.
* Compatible with WAV, FLAC and ALAC
file formats, and input from USB / PC /
NAS
Yamaha's exclusive
low-range enhancement technology
delivers richer bass than you expect
from the speaker size while maintaining
good localisation and sound balance even
with compact front speakers. When a
subwoofer is used, it improves the
volume of the entire low range of the
speaker system, not only the front
speakers, but also enhancing the bass
from the subwoofer. You'll enjoy video
and music with sound that has
exceptional power and presence.
The Total Purity
Concept, which Yamaha has been
cultivating for many years, encompasses
high drive amp technology, high purity
pre-amplification, anti-vibration
technology and independent pure power
supplies. All models have a fully
discrete power amplifier that helps to
minimise distortion. They also adopt
independent pure power supplies,
allowing dedicated power supplies for
the analogue and digital circuitry to
prevent digital noise from affecting
analogue circuitry. The anti-vibration
heatsinks are designed to suppress
vibration from transistors and sound
pressure. Independent power supplies for
the DACs are designed to further
eliminate noise on certain models. Down
to every detail, these AV receivers are
designed with full emphasis on the
highest possible sound quality.
This AV receiver
was designed with a strong focus on
achieving exceptionally high sound
clarity. It employs a discrete amp
configuration and a low jitter PLL
circuit, which contribute to its
excellent audio performance.
Pressing a SCENE
button powers on the AV Receiver and
selects the input source and DSP mode.
You can re-set the buttons for different
sources by selecting a source and DSP
mode, then pressing a SCENE button for
more than three seconds.
CINEMA DSP 3D
provides a wide, high and dense sound
field. HD Audio format decoding lets you
enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence
Speaker delivers 3-dimensional sound
without actual use of presence speakers.
Even when it is
impossible to install surround speakers
behind the listening position, Virtual
CINEMA DSP reproduces virtual 5-channel
surround sound filled with realism, with
only two front speakers. With Virtual
CINEMA FRONT, you will enjoy virtual
5-channel surround sound with higher
quality and resolution by installing
surround speakers at the front. You get
more flexibility to arrange your
speakers inside the room, along with
easy enjoyment of high quality surround
sound.
YPAO analyses the
room acoustics and adjusts various audio
parameters for optimum sound in just a
few minutes. It's like having a
professional installer calibrate your
system.
The Subwoofer Trim
Control enhances the low frequencies by
avoiding overlap with the front speaker
output. This will result in a cleaner,
more focused soundstage while providing
a seamless frequency response. When
subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in
conventional systems, the overall sound
is "pushed" toward the subwoofer.
Subwoofer Trim Control takes care of
this by separating the low subwoofer
frequencies cleanly, thus stabilizing
the front stage while providing a
well-balanced enhanced bass sound.
The AV SETUP GUIDE
makes it much easier to perform the set
up process with the Yamaha AV receiver.
This app assists you with cable
connections between the AV receiver and
source devices. Additionally, it guides
you through various settings such as
speaker connections, TV and source
device connections and power amplifier
assignments. System illustrations and
actual AV receiver images help you
understand how to make the connections
between devices. It is available in
multiple languages and is designed for
iOS and Android™ tablets.
Auto Power Standby
lets you save energy by automatically
turning off the receiver's power after
20 minutes, two, four, eight or 12
hours.
When ECO mode is
turned on it can reduce power
consumption by about 20 percent.
*Compared to power consumption when ECO
mode is off (Yamaha measurement).
Bluetooth® is a
technology for wireless communication
between devices within an area of about
10 meters (33 ft) employing the 2.4 GHz
frequency band, a band which can be used
without a license.

The measured sound
field data contains the information of
the height / presence channels of the
rooms sound image. CINEMA DSP 3D mode
reproduces the height of this sound
image so that it can create an accurate
and intensive stereoscopic sound field
in a listening environment.
The Yamaha
Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO)
uses a small microphone and
sophisticated equalization to
automatically set the best sound for any
room, no matter where the speakers are.
First it checks the speaker connections
and phase of each speaker. Then it sends
out tones which are captured by the
microphone to analyze the room acoustics
and sets a variety of parameters, such
as the speaker size, the distance of the
speakers and even the sound pressure
level, until it achieves the best sound
conditions for your room.
With most AV
components, watching or listening to
what you want requires a number of
steps. You have to turn on the AV
receiver, turn on another component like
a Blu-ray Disc™ player, select the
source, select the surround mode and
then press play. With the SCENE feature
from Yamaha, all you need to do is press
one button and both components turn on,
the correct DSP setting is made, and
play begins.
Virtual Presence
Speaker mode provides a
three-dimensional sound field without
the installation of front presence
speakers. This allows for a 3D sound
field and provides more height, width
and envelopment during audio playback in
the listening area of the room.
Virtual Surround
Back Speaker allows the system to
virtually reproduce the sound field of
the surround back speakers without the
surround speakers physically installed.
Even if the surround back speakers are
not connected, the unit adds a sense of
depth to the rear sound filed when
CINEMA DSP is used.
Yamaha has
developed a natural, realistic DSP
algorithm for headphones. Parameters for
headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations
of all the sound field programs can be
enjoyed with a pair of headphones.
ECO mode reduces
power consumption by about 20%*. It can
easily be set from the top of the GUI /
OSD menu.
*Compared to power consumption when ECO
mode is off. (Yamaha measurement)
