Digital Sound Projector™ Technology

The YSP components apply sophisticated Digital
Sound Projector™ Technology to precisely control
the orientation of the sound by focusing it into
beams. The center channel sound is heard directly,
while sounds from other channels are heard after
reflecting off walls. The result is true multi-channel
surround sound that sounds
just like a multi-speaker
system — but without the
need for extra speakers!

Multiple channels are superimposed to create the sound. In a

5.1-channel configuration, the beam speakers together create the
sound of 5.1 superimposed channels.

Digital Amplifier Built-in

The YSP components have a powerful and efficient
digital amplifier built in. There is no need for you to

 High Sound Quality

Discover the Pleasure of HD Audio

New Yamaha receivers enable you
to enjoy the stunningly rich and
beautiful surround sound offered
by Blu-ray Disc players and
HD-DVD players. You can play
sources that use the two lossy formats Dolby
Digital Plus and DTS HD High Resolution, as well as
the higher quality lossless formats Dolby TrueHD
and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Digital ToP-ART and High Current Amplification

Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART
concept combines the latest
and best technologies, parts
and circuit designs to
maximize sound quality. A
new interior layout completely isolates the digital,
analog and video sections and provides the shortest
possible signal routes. Top quality parts include
Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs, a low-noise
discrete power supply and custom-made block
capacitors. High Current Amplification circuitry
achieves high current power with low impedance
for superior amplifier performance.

Pure Direct for Highest Sound Quality

Pure Direct is a special listening mode that causes
the signal to bypass all but the most basic audio
circuitry. It even turns off the display to prevent
any chance of electrical noise interference. You will
hear the purest possible sound from all sources
including USB and HDMI inputs.

HDMI 1.3a Compatibility

Compatibility with the latest
HDMI 1.3a specification means
you can enjoy incredibly clear images with
awesome color performance, as well as the purest
digital sound, via a single HDMI cable.

Low-Jitter PLL Circuitry

A low-jitter PLL circuit in the preamplifier stage
significantly reduces jitter from digital inputs for
enhanced sound processing. This is particularly
effective in improving the sound quality of digital
signals that are input via HDMI. The addition of a
VCXO digital clock circuit further reduces the
possibility of jitter distortion.

 High Picture Quality

1080p-Compatible HDMI
RX-V1800BL, RX-V861BL and RX-V661BL)

These receivers have the capability of repeating
1080p video signals from HDMI input to HDMI
output. Multiple inputs are provided, so the user can
switch among them.

HDMI Video Upconversion (RX-Z11BL, RX-V3800BL,
RX-V1800BL and RX-V861BL)

One way of ensuring the
highest video quality for your
home theater system is to use
the best possible video signal.
These components have a
function to upgrade the input
signal (composite to S-Video,
component or HDMI, S-Video to component or
HDMI and component to HDMI) to the one that your
monitor/TV can accept. This means that you simply
use the best possible cable between the receiver and
the monitor/TV, and then whatever the source is,
you are assured of getting the highest possible
quality.

Full HD 1080p Video Upscaling

The RX-Z11BL, RX-V3800BL and RX-V1800BL also
utilize scaler engine that can independently scale an
image horizontally and vertically to further improve
the picture quality on high resolution displays (to
1080i/720p or even 1080p with HDMI output).

Custom Installation Compatibility

Yamaha has made it extremely convenient to set up a
multi-room custom installation. And given you the
ability to do it in a variety of ways. Now you can
have sound in various rooms of the house without
the need to purchase a lot of extra components.

• RX-Z11BL

The RX-Z11BL has extensive zone control capabilities,
which are too numerous to explain here. The most
important point is that the 11.2 channels can be
assigned in a wide variety of configurations to
Main/Zone 2/Zone 3/ Zone 4. The presence, rear
presence and EXTD (by surround back amp) speaker
terminals can be assigned to each zone. It provides
Intelligent Power Amplifier Assignability (surround
back amp assignment) and Independent Zone Amplifier
Assignment with 7.2-channel main zone playback.

Also important is that Zone 2 can accept
bitstream signals and also offers component video
output and upconversion of composite and S-Video
signals.

Some other convenient zone functions include: a
Party Mode that permits audio BGM and video BGV
play of the same input source in the main room and
other three zones with one-button operation, a Zone
OSD function that lets you browse information about
the songs or FM/AM/XM/HD radio broadcasts that are
playing, Zone Mono that provides compatibility with
one-speaker or three-speaker installation
environments, and a Preamplifier Mode that permits
the entire 11-channel amplifier to be allotted for
three-zone use (main zone powered by an external
amp).

• RX-V3800BL and RX-V1800BL

Convenient operation is assured thanks to control of
Main/Zone 2/Zone 3 power, FM/AM/XM tuning,
volume and input select on the front panel, along
with extensive information, Zone 2/3 tone and L/R
balance control for ceiling- or wall-mount speakers
and even a separate Zone Remote Unit. There is also
an RS-232C interface for a touch-panel controller.

• RX-V861BL, RX-V661BL and RX-V659BL

Dialogue Lift

Clear dialogue is important for movie enjoyment,
however, when using front and center speakers
positioned below the screen, dialogue may not be
heard with maximum clarity. The Dialogue Lift
function causes part of the front and center
channel sound to be output from the presence
speakers, so you hear the dialogue more clearly.

Before using Dialogue Lift Ideal dialogue position

Assignable Amplifiers for Bi-Amp Connection

Bi-amping assigns the amps used for the surround
back channels to work in conjunction with the
front speaker amps to provide separate high and
low frequency outputs to the front speakers. This
provides more power to the front speakers for
multi-channel or HiFi sound. Both high frequency
and low frequency sound quality is improved.

Adaptive DRC

Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control) is a new
volume control technology that is effective for
low-volume listening, such as at night or with
headphones. It applies DRC processing to eliminate
the volume differences between loud commercials
and ordinary programming and to take into account
our ears’ loss of sensitivity as volume decreases.
The compensation is performed automatically, so all
dialogue is heard clearly even at low levels, and
there are no sudden loud bursts of sound.

System Memory

You can use the System Memory function to easily
save and recall various combinations of system
settings. For example, if you have a particular “sound”
that you prefer with action movies, just save those
settings and then press that memory button whenever
you watch an action movie. The RX-Z11BL provides
ten System Memories for the main zone (audio,
speaker configuration, video, volume, input/HDMI out
and option. It also has four System for zones 2, 3 and
4 (input, volume and tone control). The RX-V3800BL
and RX-V1800BL also let you save up to six different
system settings. System Memory is an easy way to
ensure that you enjoy the best possible sound with
different sources and room conditions. It is especially
useful with high-end models that have a wide range
of customizable parameters.

Digital Home Theater Technology

 Surround Realism

Going Beyond Ordinary Surround Sound

Yamaha’s DSP (Digital Sound Field Processing)
technology is effective for both music and movies. It
uses the most advanced LSIs and draws on the deep
understanding of sound and music that we have
accumulated through musical instrument
manufacturing, acoustic design, and our
relationships with artists all over the world. With
dialogue, music and effects ideally located in
separate sound fields, you will hear sound with
accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional
clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic
presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room
have disappeared and you are in the middle of your
own immense theater!

Creating Sound Fields Based on Actual Data

Yamaha DSP uses a unique measurement technique
called Closely Located Four-Point Microphones and
powerful data storage capabilities to capture sound
field data from excellent acoustic venues such as
famous concert halls and jazz clubs around the
world. This real-world data forms the basis for the
sophisticated sound fields that are achieved through
Yamaha’s exclusive Digital Sound Field Processing.

• HiFi DSP Programs

Like Having a Perfect Seat at a Famous Venue

Based on data recorded in famous entertainment
venues around the world, these programs reproduce
the original sound field of the performance spaces in
your room. You have a choice of various sound
fields, such as Concert Hall that reproduces the rich
reverberations of the shoebox type concert halls in
Vienna, Jazz Club that conveys the energy of a live
club in New York, and Rock Concert that brings you
the exciting atmosphere of a rock venue in Los
Angeles.

• CINEMA DSP Programs

For Amazingly Realistic Sound from Movies and
Other Entertainment Choices

Yamaha’s DSP expertise eliminates the differences

Conventional

Quad-Field CINEMA DSP

7.1-Channel Systems

between the acoustic environments of movie
theaters and home theater rooms. You can enjoy
dynamic surround sound that is actually closer to
what the director intended than you hear in a
movie theater. Movie program choices include
Spectacle for movies with strong visual impact,
Sci-Fi for SFX movies, Adventure to emphasise the
sound of action movies, and General (Drama) for
romantic movies. There are also programs that let
you enjoy various types of entertainment such as
musicals, operas, sportscasts and games with
greatly increased dynamic presence. These
programs are effective with both multi-channel and
stereo sources.

• The Continuing Evolution of CINEMA DSP

CINEMA DSP 3D and CINEMA DSP HD

The RX-V3800BL features surround sound
processing with the enhanced capability of CINEMA
DSP 3D. By using two presence speakers in addition
to the four FL/FR and SL/SR speakers, the sound
field is given an extra vertical dimension. Pressing
the 3D DSP button provides a sound field that
expands both upward and downward. HiFi DSP
programs sound more natural, closer to the feeling
of actually being in a concert hall with a high
ceiling or a small live house where the sound seems

to bounce up from the floor. CINEMA DSP programs
have an added dimension of height that was
previously difficult to achieve, so sounds coming
from above have precise localization.

sound field processing refinement: CINEMA DSP HD
It utilizes four CINEMA DSP engines and permits
lossless decoding of 192kHz signals, while providing
3D processing that gives the sound field an extra
vertical dimension. In its full 11-channel
configuration setting it adds two presence and two
rear presence speakers, offering the enjoyment of a
completely new sound stage.

Yamaha takes AV receiver evolution to a new peak with an
enormous range of exciting capabilities.

Yamaha’s main goal for the RX-Z11BL was to achieve the highest possible sound quality
through lossless reproduction via HDMI signal transmission. We began with no preconceived
notions, designing everything purely for the purpose of creating a new amplifier standard
for the HD audio era. We focused especially on the fact that not only analog and digital
signal transmission by coaxial or optical routes, but also transmission by the HDMI route
will be a priority in the future.

Yamaha’s Unique PowerStorage™ Circuit

If music varies in loudness or includes rests, its signal
level is not constant. The power used to play music is
an average of about 1/8 of the amount that is supplied.
The remaining 7/8 of the power is unused and wasted.
The PowerStorage Circuit stores this unused electric
power and supplies only enough to match the music
level. This high efficiency power storage circuit can
achieve 20W output even with the small quantity of
power supplied via USB.

Natural Sound HiFi Components

Putting you in the same room as the musicians.

As a company involved in many facets of music creation and reproduction, Yamaha
has a serious commitment to making components that are truly “high fidelity.” This
year we have an especially impressive array of models: a new high-end stereo
amplifier and CD player, Soavo series speakers, PianoCraft and other HiFi components.
Hear the full potential of your music — Yamaha HiFi.

34

HiFi Began with Yamaha

Yamaha’s involvement with and passion for music goes back more than a century, to when we built our first
reed organ in 1887. Now we are the world’s leading producer of pianos and other musical instruments, and
are involved with music in many other ways as well. We manufacture professional recording equipment, we
design concert halls and we assist artists at concerts with set up and sound tuning.

This knowledge and experience benefits our production of audio components in many ways. We
introduced our first HiFi (High Fidelity) turntable in 1954, becoming the first company to actually use the
term “HiFi.” Thereafter we were one of the first to offer mass-produced, high quality audio equipment,
and introduced many legendary stereo components.

We hope you enjoy the genuine HiFi experience of Yamaha Natural Sound.

Natural Sound HiFi Components

Yamaha Introduces a New, Superior Approach to Analog Amplifier Design.

A-S2000SL

Natural Sound Stereo Amplifier

More than forty years have passed since
the introduction and widespread
adoption of full transistor HiFi audio
amps during the 1960s. In the 1970s,
high performance, high output PNP­NPN transistors made possible the pure
complementary configured power amps
that are now the main type of high
quality audio amps.

In recent years, however, digital
amps have become popular for their
high conversion efficiency and superior
uniformity of operating precision, as
well as for their lower weight, size and
heat production as compared to analog
amps. Which leads to the question,
which direction will audiophile-level
amps take in the future? Generally, two

possibilities are considered: continuing
to improve the traditional pure
complementary configuration analog
amps or working to achieve higher
sound quality from digital amps.

But Yamaha has selected a third
approach. This is an entirely new
floating and balanced power amp that,
by using power transistors with the
same polarity that are not
complementary, achieves complete
symmetry of pullable operation at the
output stage and permits full balanced
transmission (amplification) from the
input jack to just before the speaker
jack — a capability that has long been
the dream of audiophiles.

• Full-Stage Balanced Signal
Transmission

• Floating Balanced Power Amp

• Fully Balanced Control Amp

• Parallel Volume and Tone Controls

• Four Large Capacity Power Supplies

Yamaha Creates an Ultra High Quality CD Player for True Music Enthusiasts.

CD-S2000SL

Natural Sound Super Audio CD Player

In the quarter century since the CD
medium appeared, it has become
widely popular for its combination
of excellent quality and
convenience. CDs can now be
played on DVD players as well, but
for the highest reproduction quality,
a dedicated CD player should be
used. Yamaha recognised the need
for a CD player that would allow
audiophiles to enjoy their music
exactly as it was recorded, with
absolutely nothing added or lost.

In order to realize ideally

balanced signal transmission when

this player is connected to the
A-S2000 integrated amp, the
D/A converter uses a differential
motion mode to achieve
balanced transmission of all
stages after it. Music fans can
realize the audiophiles’ dream of
fully balanced signal
transmission from DAC output
to just before the speaker jack
by pairing this machine with the
A-S2000.

The natural sound of Soavo. Music as it should be heard.

At Yamaha, we love, understand and respect music. We’re sure that you love music, too,
and that when you listen to it, you want it to sound as natural as possible. We believe
that “natural sound” is the original sound of music instruments, and of the human voice,
so they should be reproduced with nothing added or taken away. Giving you this
beautiful music experience is the reason we created the Soavo series. Listen to Soavo,
and discover how truly natural music from a speaker can be.

Beautiful design that compliments the beautiful music.

Since you are interested in the Soavo speakers, you undoubtedly enjoy the finest music in your
home. Naturally, you want your entire decor to be beautiful also. To ensure that the Soavo
speakers are visually as well as aurally beautiful, Yamaha commissioned the world-famous
designer Toshiyuki Kita to create uniquely attractive speakers that will enhance the
atmosphere of any interior.

Toshiyuki Kita

Working in both Japan and Milan, Toshiyuki Kita has
designed many successful products for German, Italian
and Japanese manufacturers. His designs are in the
permanent collections of museums all over the world,
including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and
the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
He also designs traditional
Japanese crafts.

Soavo-900 Series

The Soavo-900M Surround Speaker and Soavo-900C Center Speaker
feature sound tuning that perfectly complements the other Soavo
speakers. They allow you to enjoy multi-channel sources in an ideal
surround sound environment.

Natural Sound Speaker Systems

The Soavo-900SW Subwoofer meets the challenge of providing an ideal
balance between tight sounds (with crisp, fast attack) and deep sounds (with
a spacious feeling). Designed for extremely accurate music reproduction, the
Soavo-900SW proudly takes its place in Yamaha’s Soavo Series.

Soavo-1 Honored by EISA.

The prestigious EISA (European Imaging and Sound
Association) Awards are chosen by media
representatives from 18 European countries.

The Soavo-1 has been named European Floor-Standing Speaker 2007­2008 by EISA. Noting that it has “an extremely elegant and stylish look,”
the EISA jury was impressed by the Soavo-1’s cabinet fashioned from
high quality materials, carved reflex port, aluminum tweeter support and
its exclusive Advanced-PMD metal diaphragms. In conclusion, they
praised the speaker’s “extremely high level of performance and an
authentically ‘Natural Sound’ in the Yamaha tradition.”

Yamaha’s unique technology for the creation of sound fields is capable of powerfully reproducing the three-dimensional environment that movie sound engineers aim
to convey, in any audio format from monaural to the latest multi-channel digital surround. It is compatible with DVD and all other A/V sources.
