FEATURES

What you can do with the unit

The unit is equipped with the various useful features.

Connecting various devices (p.41)

A number of HDMI jacks and various input/output jacks on

the unit allow you to connect video devices (such as BD/DVD

players), audio devices (such as CD players), game consoles,

camcorders, and other devices.

Playing back TV audio in surround

sound with a single HDMI cable

connection (Audio Return Channel:

ARC) (p.41)

When using an ARC-compatible TV, you only need one HDMI

cable to enable video output to the TV, audio input from the

TV, and the transmission of HDMI Control signals.

More advanced ENTERTAINMENT

sound programs (p.80)

By processing front left and front right sound fields

individually, the ENTERTAINMENT sound programs are

further improved in acoustic positioning and sound

transition. These programs allow you to enjoy clearer vocal

and instrumental sounds, distinct narrations, and more

dynamic sound effects.

Various wireless connection

methods (p.66)

The unit supports the Wi-Fi feature that allows the unit to

connect to your wireless router (access point) without a

network cable connection. In addition, Wireless Direct

enables connecting a mobile device to the unit directly

without router.

Home Audio Network with

MusicCast (p.74)

The unit supports the MusicCast feature that allows you to

link a MusicCast compatible device to another device in a

different room and play them back simultaneously, or

control all MusicCast compatible devices with the dedicated

application “MusicCast CONTROLLER”.

Low power consumption (p.161)

The ECO mode (power saving function) reduces the unit’s

power consumption.

CINEMA DSP

The excitement of a concert hall and the powerful sense of being inside a movie - we all want to enjoy these experiences in our own living room. Yamaha has pursued the fulfillment of these desires

for more than 30 years, and this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers.

What is a sound field?

We perceive sound from a voice or an instrument not only as the sounds that are heard directly

but also as the “reflected” or “reverberant” sound that has been reflected by the walls or

ceiling of the building. The character of the reflected and reverberant sound is affected by the

shape, size, and material of the building, and all of these sounds taken together are what give

us the auditory sensation of being in that specific place.

This unique acoustical character of a specific space is what we call the “sound field”.

CINEMA DSP

Yamaha has accumulated a massive amount of acoustical data by analyzing the actual sound

fields of concert halls and performance spaces around the world. “CINEMA DSP” allows this

data to be applied to create sound fields. This unit contains a wide variety of sound programs

using CINEMA DSP.

By selecting a sound program that is appropriate to the content of the playback source such as

movies, music, or games, you can maximize the acoustical effectiveness of that specific

content. (For example, a sound program designed for movies can give you the sensation of

actually being in that scene.)

CINEMA DSP HD

3

“CINEMA DSP HD

3

” is Yamaha’s flagship 3D sound field playback technology that takes full

advantage of the massive amount of acoustic reflection data included in the sound field data.

It delivers more than twice as much capability for generating acoustic reflections as

conventional CINEMA DSP 3D, in addition to high-frequency playback capability, delivering an

utterly natural and powerful spatial sound field.

YPAO

YPAO is Yamaha original automatic calibration system to optimizing your sound and surround environment by using microphone measurement. It can be create ideal listening environment for

maximizing high sound quality contents playback by adjusting various speakers setting and the sound field automatically.

YPAO-R.S.C.

In typical home, the sound has problems such as a blurred low-frequency range or a smearing

of the acoustical sound image caused by undesirable sound reflection from the walls or ceiling.

“YPAO-R.S.C.” is technology that reduces only the unwanted reflections and produces the

acoustic perfection for your listening environment.

YPAO Volume

YPAO Volume automatically adjusts the high and low frequency levels at any volume level so

that you hear natural sounds even at low volume.

YPAO 3D measurement

The direction (angle) of front, surround and presence speakers, and the height of presence

speakers as seen from the listening position is measured, and compensation is applied to

maximize the 3D sound field effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP.

Unrivaled audio and video quality

You can enjoy unrivaled high-quality audio and videos with the unit.

High-resolution music enhancer

Hi-bit high-sampling extension up to 96 kHz / 24-bit can be applied to lossless 44.1/48 kHz

content such as from a CD (2-channel PCM) or a FLAC file for further heightening of the

musicality in the original content (p.127).

Before processing

After processing

High-quality video processing

From low-quality digital video to BD (Blu-ray disc) images, any content can be played back as

a high-quality image (p.149).

• Motion adaptive and edge adaptive deinterlacing

• Multi-cadence (including 3-2 pull-down) detection

• Up to 6 presets that can be applied separately to each input source

You can also apply fine touches such as detail enhancement and edge enhancement.

Expandable to meet diverse needs

The unit provides excellent expandability which is applicable to all uses.

Support for bi-amp connections and external power amp

expansion

To obtain even high audio quality, you can connect front speakers that support power amp

expansion, or expand your system by adding an external power amp (such as a Hi-Fi amp).

For details, refer to “Advanced speaker configuration” (p.30).

The best expandability in Yamaha (RX-A3070 only)

By connecting an external power amp, you can enjoy the highest peak of CINEMA DSP - an

11.2-channel 3-dimensional sound field.

(Example)

Multi-zone function

The multi-zone function (p.112) allows you to play back different input sources in the room

where the unit is installed (main zone) and in other rooms (such as Zone2).

(The following shows examples of use.)

Enjoying music using speakers in another room

While enjoying multichannel playback in your living room, you can listen to music through the

speakers of a different room.

Enjoying videos using a TV in another room (HDMI connection)

While enjoying multichannel playback in your living room, you can enjoy videos and music

being input via HDMI on a TV in a different room.

1 Connecting speakers

The unit has 9 built-in amplifiers. You can connect 2 to 11 speakers and up to 2 subwoofers to create the favorite acoustic space in your room.

You can also apply bi-amp connections, channel expansion (using an external power amplifier) or multi-zone configurations to enhance your system (p.30).

Ideal speaker layout Functions of each speaker

X

• Use “Ideal speaker layout” (diagram on the right) as reference. You do not need to exactly adjust the speaker

layout to this diagram since the YPAO function of the unit will automatically optimize the speaker settings (such

as distances) to suit the speaker layout.

• When using only one surround back speaker, place it straight behind the listening position (middle of “SBL”

and “SBR” in the diagram).

• The unit creates front Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and surround speakers to produce

3-dimensional sound fields even when no front presence speakers are connected. However, we recommend

using front presence speakers in order to experience the full effect of the sound fields (and rear presence

speakers for further spatial sounds).

• The unit creates rear Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and surround speakers to produce

natural 3-dimensional sound fields when front presence speakers are connected but no rear presence

speakers.

Caution

Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers.

For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.27).
