Yamaha RXA2020 9 Channel AVENTAGE AV Receiver Black with iPhone/iPod Connectivity Open 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 & the accurate reproduction of music sources. By expertly harmonizing traditional & advanced technologies every factor that affects sound quality
- from materials & parts to construction layout vibration damping (unique foot) & “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. High Quality Parts Allow Sound Tuning for Optimum Performance Every single part in an AV receiver affects the sound quality. For the AVENTAGE models extra time was taken to find (or develop) exactly the parts wanted & to test them together in prototype units. This testing process allowed sound technicians to in effect “tune” the receiver’s sound in order to achieve the highest performance possible. H-shaped Cross Member Frame The interior of the receiver is reinforced with cross members in an "H" shape to provide an extremely rigid & 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 & built so that the left & right channels are physically & electrically isolated. This naturally maximizes channel separation but also greatly improves signal-to-noise ratio & also helps to achieve a wide open sound stage. 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 center of the unit. It dampens vibrations from the power transformer power transistors & heat sinks as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers. 4K Pass-through & Upscaling Supports Latest High Resolution Video Formats This AV receiver's 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. HQV Vida Processor for High Resolution HD & SD Images This AV receiver optimizes the video signals they send to the TV by using the most advanced HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) Vida processor. Supporting both SD & HD sources this processor employs powerful noise reduction functions that even improve low-quality sources. Additional resolution enhancement functions make SD content look like HD. HDMI with 3D & Audio Return Channel 3D means the receiver can handle 3D signal data. The Audio Return Channel function enables data to be sent & 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 & also enhance operation. You can connect the receiver to a PC to enjoy Internet radio & operate your system via Web Browser Control. The AV Controller App (from i Tunes 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 i Tunes App Store or Google play to control power on/off & volume select input & DSP modes & operate other functions from an iPod iPhone iPad or Android phones. A tablet version is also available. Air Play Allows Streaming Music to AV Receiver This AV receiver supports Air Play which means it can accept wireless music streaming from an iPod touch iPhone or iPad as well as from i Tunes on Macs or PCs. This makes it easy to enjoy music from your mobile devices or computer on your home theater system. You can view metadata such as song title artist name as well as album art* via the AV receiver's on-screen display. * Some models don't support album art display. USB (Universal Serial Bus) Digital Connection for iPod iPhone & iPad on the Front Panel A USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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. Versatile Zone Control • HDMI Zone B for audio/video streaming to another room (same content as main room) • Zone 2/3 on/off & control on front panel • Zone GUI (song/station selection album cover art display Zone tone controls/ Zone balance short message) • Zone 2/3 video assign (component S-Video composite) • System backup/recovery function • Zone mono Zone volume tone controls & balance • Party Mode 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. 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 & off together with the TV & 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 & stop. (All connected devices must be HDMI CEC compatible. Some CEC compatible TVs/players may not work.) Advanced Multi-language GUI On-screen Display Yamaha’s latest graphical user interface has a high resolution display with clear easy-to-use menus & also
Includes:: a selectable status bar that shows input source volume level DSP mode & audio format. The GUI provides a choice of seven languages: English French German Japanese Russian Spanish & Chinese & can be displayed over both normal & 3D pictures. Extra-convenient SCENE PLUS The SCENE PLUS function simplifies operation by providing one touch power-on along with selection of the desired source & the appropriate DSP programs. 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 & even from the AV Controller App. YPAO R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimization with Speaker Angle Measurement YPAO analyzes room acoustics & 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 Normalization which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds. Subwoofer Trim for enhanced 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. 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. High-resolution Music Enhancer Further Heightens Musicality From the Original Content Hi-bit high-sampling extension up to 96 k Hz / 24-bit can be applied to lossless 44.1/48 k Hz content such as from a CD (2-channel PCM) or a FLAC file for further heightening of the musicality in the original content. Dialogue Lift & Dialogue Level Adjustment for Natural Dialogue & Vocals Dialogue Lift raises the sound of dialogue from the center speaker to a position in the center 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 & music vocals at the ideal level for clear comfortable listening. HD Audio with CINEMA DSP 3D & Virtual Presence Speaker CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide high & 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. 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 & vocals & 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 & comfortably at the same volume setting. It also tones down loud TV commercials & is ideal for low-volume late-night listening when you do not want to disturb others. 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).
