Introducing IMAX® Enhanced

This receiver is released under the IMAX Enhanced program, which features DTS:X immersive audio decoding optimized to reproduce the full dynamic range of IMAX theatrical sound mixes available in digitally re-mastered IMAX Enhanced content. The IMAX Mode reproduces lMAX Enhanced content at the highest levels, just as the filmmakers intended.

Dynamic high-current amplification

Digital DAA combines high current amplification technology and sophisticated noise-suppressing output filtering. Massive customized low-hum transformer and custom capacitors support lightning-fast dynamics, maintaining composure at high volume with all channels driven. The transparent detail resolution and fluid, soulful expression of this design has been acclaimed by experienced enthusiasts and professional installers all over the world.

Unique noise-reduction technologies

New cinema modes for clearer sound

Two exclusive modes debut on the TX-RZ3400. Cinema Dedicated Mode or Cinema Dedicated Net Off Mode can be selected before watching a film. The former turns off the network module clock, reducing interference, while the latter shuts off its power supply, virtually eliminating module noise on occasions when crystal-clear movie sound takes priority over network connectivity.

Discrete Audio Path Mode for selected BD players

Discrete Audio Path Mode works with BD players that can separate the source’s video and audio streams and transmit them to the TV and A/V receiver via discrete HDMI outputs. Since the receiver’s HDMI output circuitry isn’t needed, it’s powered off to eliminate electrical interference and improve overall soundtrack clarity. These functions are easily enabled or disabled using Quick Menu accessed via remote control.

Clarify voice dialog instantly

Vocal Enhancer resolves inaudible dialog in TV programs and movies. DSP technology identifies vocal frequencies so you can adjust them using easy remote-control keys.

AccuEQ ADVANCE PLUS with AccuReflex

AccuEQ ADVANCE PLUS room acoustic calibration expands AccuEQ Advance 9-point measurement and standing-wave-removal technology with more choice and a new high-frequency sound correction function. You can apply EQ to all channels according to system measurements;

exclude the front channels; or use EQ levels applied to the Front L/R channels on other speakers. Tailored to your taste, you can now enjoy the same cohesive sound of an acoustically treated listening room at home. AccuEQ includes AccuReflex, which aligns the phase of directional and non-directional sound for a clear and comfortable 3D soundfield.
