Breathtaking Sound

Surround:AI

This artificial intelligence (AI) technology built into the DSP analyzes the scene of the entertainment content, then creates the optimal surround effect to reproduce it with the ultimate impact. This AI instantaneously analyzes scenes by focusing on distinct sound elements, such as dialogue, background music, ambient sounds, and sound effects, and automatically optimizes the surround effect in real time. Imagine having a Yamaha sound engineer listening right next to you, tuning the best sound live and specifically for you. This AI technology creates a compelling sense of realism with expressive power beyond conventional sound field effects, giving you the most profound entertainment experience possible. The Qualcomm QCS407 chip with 64-bit high-precision processing delivers precise surround sound.

CINEMA DSP HD3 for Movies, Music, and Games

This Yamaha flagship 3D sound field playback technology was created by combining actual measured sound field data with digital signal processing technology. The revamped CINEMA DSP HD3 features new signal processing algorithms and maximizes theater sound effects, accurately reproducing a new dimension of realism for a sound field with a rich sense of presence and no feeling of boundaries. By using front, center, and surround speakers to create a rear virtual speaker, CINEMA DSP HD3 playback of up to 11.1 channels is possible (with a front presence speaker), even with a 7.1-channel speaker configuration.

Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization

Feel every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Enjoy a 5.1-channel surround speaker system and two additional overhead speakers or two Dolby Atmos elevation speakers, delivering dramatic overhead effects for truly enveloping audio. For those without in-ceiling or upward-firing speakers in their system, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization technology can simulate the Atmos experience. Configure up to five speakers to replicate the effect of two in-ceiling speakers, or utilize all seven channels to simulate the powerful effect of four overhead speakers.

DTS:X

DTS:X immersive audio formatting places sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating lifelike, multidimensional audio. The included spatial remapping engine of DTS Neural:X offers improved immersion and heightened realism in all your favorite movies.

Compressed Music Enhancer

When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. The Yamaha 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.

Auro-3D via a Planned Future Update

The magic of Auro-3D technology lies in the ability to transform any space and any content. Auro-3D delivers a purely transformative, immersive audio experience, every time. The unique, vertical stereo field of Auro-3D allows sound to move around you, similar to how it does in your everyday life, ensuring a powerful soundscape that transports us into the world of our chosen content. Escape into the story and get lost in the music. Experience every moment and emotion the way nature intended. Auro-3D technology is planned to be added via a future update.

High-Quality Parts

High Slew Rate Amplifier

The slew rate measures how quickly an amplifier can respond to a rapid change of input level, which contributes to delivering a precise signal transmission and is especially effective with high-resolution audio signals. This newly designed circuit achieves both a high slew rate and stable signal transmission, allowing it to handle each audio signal with precision and accuracy.

High-Quality Digital Components

The Qualcomm QCS407 is designed to provide truly superior audio performance, with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive home audio, as well as a dedicated high-performance audio DSP. It features the 32-bit ESS SABRE PRO ES9026PRO Premier DAC. ESS s patented 32-bit HyperStream, total harmonic distortion (THD) compensation function works to minimize noise levels. In combination with the Yamaha original D.O.P.G. (DAC on Pure Ground) concept, which eliminates the potential difference between audio circuit stages to reduce ground noise, it dramatically enhances silence and resolution over the entire audio range for rich and expressive reproduction of even the most delicate sounds.

Craftsmanship

Anti-Resonance Technology Wedge

The newly designed Anti-Resonance Technology (A.R.T.) Wedge is a fifth foot in the front-and-center of the chassis unit base. Together with a double-bottom structure, it dampens many more vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors, and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers, providing dynamic sound and focused, accurate reproduction.

Newly Designed Mechanical Structure

The symmetrical internal layout of parts and totally renewed circuit boards are designed to keep the signal paths on each board as short as possible. The new H-cross frame improves the rigidity of the receiver body and sound stability, allowing for clearer, sharper, and more transparent reproduction. Also, the newly redesigned mechanical structure contributes to avoiding the transition of vibration from the transformer to the amplifier circuit. Sound noises are reduced to improve clarity.

Movies and Games Like Never Before

HDR Support with HDR10+ via a Planned Future Update

HDR (high dynamic range) video provides incredible contrast, smooth tone, and rich, bright colors, giving you full, high-definition enjoyment with an exceptionally realistic and natural picture quality. HDR10+ greatly improves the dynamic range (the ratio of light to dark) of video content on a scene-by-scene (or even frame-by-frame) basis. Also, using frame-by-frame metadata, it improves the scene characteristics between bright and dark so that important detail can remain. This enables displays to reproduce images more realistically, adhering to the creator s intent. HDR10+ support will be enabled via a planned future update.

4K60 with Planned Future Support for 8K60< sub> AB< /sub> and 4K120< sub> AB< /sub>

4K120 enables ultra-fast motion UHD images to be crisp and razor sharp, allowing sports, action movies, high-performance gaming, and VR to benefit significantly. It also supports Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma. Via a planned future update, this receiver will support end-to-end 8K and 4K resolutions and higher refresh rates with a single upgraded cable for seamless integration within the HDMI ecosystem. 8K delivers a super-immersive viewing experience with twice the horizontal and
