Yamaha RXA1020 7 Channel AV Receiver In Black With Cinema DSP AirPlay
HDMI DLNA And IPhone/iPod Connectivity - Open Box Brand New A1
Condition
Delivering excitement detail and precision the Yamaha RX-A1020 is a brilliantly capable all-rounder whathifi.com June 2013 Yamaha RXA1020 7 Channel AV Receiver in Black with Cinema DSP AirPlay HDMI and DLNA ConnectivityOpen Box Brand New A1 Condition 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. 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. 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. High Quality Video Processing with Edge Adaptive Deinterlacing In ordinary deinterlacing pixels in areas of movement are interpolated by upper and lower ranges. This causes jaggies in diagonal lines. Edge adaptive deinterlacing detects the direction of the line and interpolates the pixels optimally. Network Functions This AV receiver provides a variety of network functions that enable you to access more sources and also enhance operation. You can connect the receiver to a PC to enjoy Internet Radio and operate your system via Web Browser Control. The AV Controller app (from iTunes App Store or Google play) lets you control
various functions from your iPod iPhone iPad or Android phones. AV Controller App for Easy Convenient Operation This AV Receiver lets you use the Yamaha AV Controller app that is downloadable from the iTunes App Store or Google play to control power on/off and volume select input and DSP modes and operate other functions from an iPod iPhone iPad or Android phones. A tablet version is also available. AirPlay Allows Streaming Music to AV receive This AV receiver supports AirPlay which means they can accept wireless music streaming from iPod touch iPhone or iPad as well as from iTunes on Macs or PCs. This makes it easy to enjoy music from your mobile devices or computer on your home theatre system. You can use view metadata such as song title artist name as well as album art* via AV
receiver's on-screen display. *Some models don't support album art display. 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 Multi-Point Measurement YPAO analyses room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound at any of eight
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) 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. 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 stabilising the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound. Intelligent Amp Assign Intelligent Amp Assign automatically assigns amplifier channels to certain speakers depending on what functions are selected. For example in a 7.1-channel system when Zone 2 is off all 7.1 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 5.1 channels of
power. Similarly when CINEMA DSP 3D is on the two Front Presence speakers will be powered and not the two Surround Back speakers. When CINEMA DSP 3D 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 High Quality Parts Allow Sound Tuning for Optimum Performance Every single part in an AV receiver affects the sound quality. For the AVENTAGE models we took extra time to find (or develop) exactly the parts we wanted and to test them together in prototype units. This testing process allows our sound technicians to in effect “tune” the receiver’s sound in order the achieve the highest performance possible ECO mode lowers power consumption by
