Yamaha RXV-3000 Brochure

Extraordinary Performance and Capabilities

䢇 The RX-V3000 is also offered with gold finish.

RX-V3000Digital Home Theater Receiver

If it wasn’t for the RX-V1, the RX-V3000 could very well be described as the world’s finest home theater receiver. It
outputs a virtually distortion-free (0.02% THD) 100W of power to the main, center, rear effect and rear center
channels, plus 25W to the front effect channels. And to ensure maximum enjoyment of every program source, it offers
a broad selection of 49 HiFi DSP and CINEMA DSP programs that use acoustic data from actual performance
venues. The Digital ToP-ART design concept ensures that audio quality is maximized.

High Quality DACs

The RX-V3000’s main and center
channels use PCM1704 DACs
manufactured by the high-end audio
expert, Burr-Brown. This is a high­precision 96kHz/24-bit BiCMOS
Sign-Magnitude DAC with ultra-low
distortion of 0.0008% and S/N ratio of
120dB. It offers superior low level
linearity, with excellent full-scale
performance under varying operating
conditions. It realizes the full potential

of Dolby Digital and DTS sound and is
also ideal for two-channel stereo,
providing outstanding separation and
accurate musical delineation. An
additional advantage is its 96kHz/24-bit
decoding capability, making it compatible
with the latest (and future) digital audio
sources. Knowledgeable consumers will
be looking for this feature. The RX­V3000’s other channels also use high
quality 96kHz/24-bit DACs.

High Performance Power Transistors

Superior power transistors enable the
RX-V3000 to achieve a wide bandwidth
with frequency response extending to
100kHz, within a 3dB tolerance.
Although human hearing only extends to
about 20kHz, the harmonics of certain
frequencies go much higher, and it is
important that these harmonics be
reproduced along with the fundamental
frequencies we hear. By reproducing the

high harmonics, the wide bandwidth
transistors
enhance overall
tonality and
musicality. It also
means that the
RX-V3000 is
ready for the next
generation of

field in the front and two Surround
sound fields in the left rear and right
rear, resulting in a powerfully realistic
three-dimensional soundscape. And now
Yamaha also offers Quad-Field CINEMA
DSP. It adds an additional rear center
sound field to the Tri-Field system, in
order to enjoy the new 6.1-channel
formats, Dolby Digital Surround EX and
DTS-ES.

SILENT CINEMA and Virtual
CINEMA DSP

The SILENT CINEMA mode gives you
private listening enjoyment of multi­channel music or movie sound, including
Dolby Digital and DTS surround,
through ordinary headphones. It’s
automatically selected when the
headphones are plugged in. Virtual
CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects
of CINEMA DSP surround sound
without using rear speakers (handy for
use in custom installations where some
rooms don’t have rear speakers). It can
be used with the main/center/front
effect speakers or even with just the two
main left and right speakers.

Custom Installation Compatibility

As befits a high performance home
cinema amplifier, the RX-V3000 is ideal
for use in custom installations. It is
equipped with an RS-232C interface that
allows two-way communication between
the amplifier and a touch-pad controller.

Oil-Damped Hidden Control Panel includes S-Video input and optical digital input terminal for
connectiong game machine, digital equipment, and so on.

It provides interactive control functions
that are more versatile than that of an
ordinary remote control, and has Zone
2 output that enables multi-room
control capability.

RX-V3000 Extensive System Connections

In addition to six-channel external decoder
input terminals, there are pre-main coupler,
center, rear effect, rear center and front
effect pre out terminals, and subwoofer
output terminals (mono x 2) with low pass
filters, zone 2 out and RS-232C terminal for
custom installation, and speaker impedance
selector. All speaker terminals are 2-way
binding-post type (banana-plug compatible).
The inlet-type power cable is separate, rather
than attached to the unit. It is a thicker type
than usual, for higher power handling
capacity.
