Yamaha RXA3030TI 9 Channel AV Receiver Titanium

AVENTAGE AV Receivers: Designed to Deliver the Highest Levels of Audio Performance 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 harmonising 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. Anti Resonance Technology
Wedge Helps to Ensure that Vibrations Do Not Affect Sound Quality The Anti Resonance Technology (A.R.T.) Wedge is a fifth foot in the centre 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. Aluminium Front Panel Offers Visual and Aural Benefits All of the AVENTAGE components feature the same sleek clean design with an elegant aluminium front panel and silky touch volume / selector knobs. The aluminium 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.
H-shaped Cross Member Frame The interior of the receiver is reinforced with cross members in an H shape to provide an extremely rigid and stable frame. This reduces chassis vibration to virtually zero even during high volume output (seemingly minor vibrations can affect the sound) maintaining the highest audio quality. Symmetrical Power Amplifier Layout This is just one of the many design details that all combine to create a superior receiver. The interior of the unit has been precisely planned circuit-routed and built so that the left and right channels are physically and electrically isolated. This naturally maximises channel separation but also greatly improves signal to noise ratio and also helps to achieve a wide open sound stage. Total Purity Concept for the Finest Sound Quality 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 minimize 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. Sound Tuning Achieved
with High Quality Parts for Optimum Performance Every single part in an AV receiver affects the sound quality. For AVENTAGE models extra time is taken to find (or develop) the exact parts needed to achieve the highest performance possible. Sound technicians go through a testing process to in effect “tune” the receiver’s sound. Ultra-high Performance DACs for Superior Sound Quality An ultra-high performance ESS Technology 192 kHz/32 bit ES9016 DAC produces an unsurpassed sound stage with up to 124 dB dynamic range super low distortion and noise level. High-quality ESS ES9006 DACs power the presence channels. This AV receiver’s sound reproduction is for the most discriminating of listeners. Extensive Audio Codec and Format Support This AV receiver is compatible with many audio
formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. They are also compatible with FLAC / WAV 192kHz playback. You will enjoy excellent sound quality from Blu-ray Discs and other types of high resolution sources. High-resolution Music Enhancer further Heightens Musicality from the Original Content 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. 4K Ultra HD Pass-through and Upscaling This AV receivers HDMI input / output supports 4K video image pass-through. It also can perform 4K upscaling to boost a lower resolution image to super high-def resolution. This ensures compatibility with the latest super high resolution
video formats. Yamaha Video Processing Optimises Video Content Yamaha’s high-end video projector engineering expertise has produced various advanced processing techniques that are applied to this AV receiver. These include edge adaptive deinterlacing to smooth out jaggy noise motion adaptive deinterlacing to detect moving or still images for precise pixel-by-pixel processing and multi-cadence detection including 3-2 pull-down. Proper processing makes viewing enjoyment complete no matter what video source or content. HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel 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. Network Functions This AV receiver provides a variety of network functions that enable you to access more sources and also enhance operation.

USB Digital Connection for iPod iPhone and iPad on the Front Panel A USB port on the front panel allows convenient connection of an iPod / iPhone / iPad which also charges when connected. Because the digital signal from the iPod / iPhone / iPad 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 / iPad music playback functions. YPAO-R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimisation with Speaker Angle Measurement YPAO analyses room
acoustics and performs speaker angle measurements then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound at any of several listening positions. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalisation which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds. Extra-convenient SCENE PLUS The SCENE PLUS function simplifies operation by providing one touch power-on along with selection of the desired source and the appropriate DSP programmes. SCENE PLUS offers a choice of 12 SCENE selections four of which can be assigned to the second zone in a multi-zone system. SCENE PLUS can be selected from the front panel remote control GUI and even from the AV Controller app. HDMI CEC for Easy Operation 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. HDMI Front Panel Input In addition to the large number of HDMI inputs on the rear panel there is also one on the front panel. This gives you a convenient way to quickly plug in a digital camera or camcorder for highest quality pictures. Input Selection in HDMI Standby Through Mode When the AV receiver is in HDMI Standby Through
mode the input source (Blu-ray™ Disc player game console etc.) for viewing on the monitor can be changed via the remote control. There’s no need to turn on the AV receiver in order to switch sources. Advanced Multi-Language GUI On-Screen Display Yamaha’s latest Graphical User Interface has a high resolution display with clear easy-to-use menus and also includes a selectable Status Bar that shows input source volume level DSP mode and audio format. The GUI provides a choice of seven languages: English French German Japanese Russian Spanish Italian and Chinese and can be displayed over both normal and 3D pictures. Intelligent Amp Assign Intelligent Amp Assign automatically assigns amplifier channels to certain speakers depending on what functions are selected. For example in a
9.1-channel system when Zone 2 is off all 9.1 channels will be used in the Main Zone. However when Zone 2 is on power to the two Surround Back channels will be directed to the two speakers in Zone 2 and the Main Zone will receive 7.1 channels of power. Similarly when CINEMA DSP HD3 is on the two Rear Presence speakers will be powered and not the two Surround Back speakers. When CINEMA DSP HD3 is off this situation is reversed. Thanks to Intelligent Amp Assign there’s no need to switch the speaker cables on the rear of the receiver—one more way Yamaha makes your life a little easier. Connection for YWA-10 WiFi Adapter This AV receiver provide a DC-out connection for the YWA-10 WiFi Adapter (optional accessory). This lets you stream music wirelessly via a router from network components
such as a PC or NAS. Connection for YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter This AV receiver provide a DC-out connection for the YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter (optional accessory). Youll be able to stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth-capable smartphone tablet or PC without a WiFi environment. CINEMA DSP HD3 Expands the Sound Field Vertically for More Thrilling and Realistic Surround Sound CINEMA DSP HD3 literally takes the surround sound experience to new heights. By using four CINEMA DSP engines with advanced 3D processing and two front presence channels in a 9.2-channel configuration it gives the sound field an enhanced vertical dimension for more realistic and exciting movie sound. Subwoofer Trim for Improved Sound Imaging The Subwoofer Trim control enhances the low frequencies by
avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems the overall sound is “pushed” toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly thus stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound. Dialogue Lift and Dialogue Level Adjustment for natural dialogue and vocals Dialogue Lift raises the sound of dialogue from the centre speaker to a position in the centre of the screen. Newly developed virtual dialogue lift achieves dialogue lift function even without the need for presence speakers. Dialogue Level Adjustment lets you control the volume of
the vocal sound so you hear movie dialogue and music vocals at the ideal level for clear comfortable listening. New Virtual CINEMA DSP for 7.1-channel surround sound New Virtual CINEMA DSP provides virtual 7.1-channel surround sound from only front speakers (2.1-channel) with no need for rear speakers. Using new 24kHz HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) technology it creates a rear sound field that is extremely spacious natural and powerful. Compressed Music Enhancer 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. Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control) Adaptive
DRC automatically adjusts the dynamic range of the sound according to the volume level. This ensures that you hear clear dialog and vocals and all sound effects at comfortable levels. There is no need to adjust the volume level as you listen; everything from whispers to big explosions will be heard clearly and comfortably at the same volume setting. It also tones down loud TV commercials and is ideal for low-volume late-night listening when you do not want to disturb others. Advanced HDMI Zone Switching Allows Unprecedented AV Switching to Multiple Zones While standard HDMI zone switching can only send HD video programmes to the main and second zones Yamaha’s Advanced HDMI Zone Switching adds the capability to choose from all audio and video sources for playback in either zone. An
on-screen graphical user interface makes it easy to browse and select content to enjoy from the second zone no matter what is being played in the main zone. ECO mode lowers power consumption by 20%* Yamaha’s new ECO mode reduces power consumption by about 20%. It can be set from the top of the GUI menu. * Compared to power consumption when ECO mode is off (Yamaha measurement). Selectable Auto Power Down Auto Power Down lets you save energy by selecting to turn off the power after 2 4 8 or 12 hours. Low Standby Power Consumption Yamaha makes its receivers eco-friendly with a low standby power consumption of 0.35W in IR Standby mode (5.0W in HDMI Standby Through mode 2.2W in Network Standby mode).
