What you can do with the unit
The unit is equipped with the various useful features.
Connecting various devices (p.41)
A number of HDMI jacks and various input/output jacks on
the unit allow you to connect video devices (such as BD/DVD
players), audio devices (such as CD players), game consoles,
camcorders, and other devices.
Playing back TV audio in surround
sound with a single HDMI cable
connection (Audio Return Channel:
ARC) (p.41)
When using an ARC-compatible TV, you only need one HDMI
cable to enable video output to the TV, audio input from the
TV, and the transmission of HDMI Control signals.
More advanced ENTERTAINMENT
sound programs (p.80)
By processing front left and front right sound fields
individually, the ENTERTAINMENT sound programs are
further improved in acoustic positioning and sound
transition. These programs allow you to enjoy clearer vocal
and instrumental sounds, distinct narrations, and more
dynamic sound effects.
Various wireless connection
methods (p.66)
The unit supports the Wi-Fi feature that allows the unit to
connect to your wireless router (access point) without a
network cable connection. In addition, Wireless Direct
enables connecting a mobile device to the unit directly
without router.
Home Audio Network with
MusicCast (p.74)
The unit supports the MusicCast feature that allows you to
link a MusicCast compatible device to another device in a
different room and play them back simultaneously, or
control all MusicCast compatible devices with the dedicated
application “MusicCast CONTROLLER”.

Time
The excitement of a concert hall and the powerful sense of being inside a movie - we all want to enjoy these experiences in our own living room. Yamaha has pursued the fulfillment of these desires
for more than 30 years, and this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers.
What is a sound field?
We perceive sound from a voice or an instrument not only as the sounds that are heard directly
but also as the “reflected” or “reverberant” sound that has been reflected by the walls or
ceiling of the building. The character of the reflected and reverberant sound is affected by the
shape, size, and material of the building, and all of these sounds taken together are what give
us the auditory sensation of being in that specific place.
This unique acoustical character of a specific space is what we call the “sound field”.

CINEMA DSP
Yamaha has accumulated a massive amount of acoustical data by analyzing the actual sound
fields of concert halls and performance spaces around the world. “CINEMA DSP” allows this
data to be applied to create sound fields. This unit contains a wide variety of sound programs
using CINEMA DSP.
By selecting a sound program that is appropriate to the content of the playback source such as
movies, music, or games, you can maximize the acoustical effectiveness of that specific
content. (For example, a sound program designed for movies can give you the sensation of
actually being in that scene.)
CINEMA DSP HD
“CINEMA DSP HD3” is Yamaha’s flagship 3D sound field playback technology that takes full
advantage of the massive amount of acoustic reflection data included in the sound field data.
It delivers more than twice as much capability for generating acoustic reflections as
conventional CINEMA DSP 3D, in addition to high-frequency playback capability, delivering an
utterly natural and powerful spatial sound field.

High
YPAO is Yamaha original automatic calibration system to optimizing your sound and surround environment by using microphone measurement. It can be create ideal listening environment for
maximizing high sound quality contents playback by adjusting various speakers setting and the sound field automatically.
YPAO-R.S.C.
In typical home, the sound has problems such as a blurred low-frequency range or a smearing
of the acoustical sound image caused by undesirable sound reflection from the walls or ceiling.
“YPAO-R.S.C.” is technology that reduces only the unwanted reflections and produces the
acoustic perfection for your listening environment.
YPAO Volume
YPAO Volume automatically adjusts the high and low frequency levels at any volume level so
that you hear natural sounds even at low volume.
YPAO 3D measurement
The direction (angle) of front, surround and presence speakers, and the height of presence
speakers as seen from the listening position is measured, and compensation is applied to
maximize the 3D sound field effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP.
