Passionate engineering and meticulous attention to detail produce the Yamaha hallmark of True Sound. You can feel the quality in the design and fabrication — from every electrical path, component and piece of material. Each element was scrutinized with intense detail to produce the finest, first-class performance. Artificial intelligence AI technology built into the DSP analyzes the scene of the entertainment content and then creates the optimal surround effect to reproduce it with the ultimate impact.
This AI instantaneously analyzes scenes by focusing on distinct sound elements such as dialogue, background music, ambient sounds and sound effects, and automatically optimizes the surround effect in real time. Imagine having a Yamaha sound engineer listening right next to you, tuning the best sound live and specifically for you. AI technology creates a compelling sense of realism with expressive power beyond conventional sound field effects, giving you the most profound entertainment experience possible.
This Yamaha flagship 3D sound field playback technology was created by combining actual measured sound field data with cutting edge digital signal processing technology. The revamped CINEMA DSP HD3 features new signal processing algorithms and maximizes theater sound effects, accurately reproducing a new dimension of realism for a sound field with a rich sense of presence and no feeling of boundaries.
Feel every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Enjoy a 5. For those without in-ceiling or upward firing speakers in their system, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization technology can simulate the Atmos experience. Configure up to five speakers to replicate the effect of two in-ceiling speakers, or utilize all seven channels to simulate the powerful effect of four overhead speakers.
DTS:X immersive audio formatting places sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating life-like, multi-dimensional audio. AURO-3D will deliver a purely transformative, breath-taking immersive audio experience, every time. The unique, vertical stereo field of AURO-3D allows sound to move around you, similar to how it does in your everyday life, ensuring a powerful soundscape that transports us into the world of our chosen content.
Escape into the story and get lost in the music. Experience every moment and emotion the way nature intended. When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. The Yamaha 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.
The slew rate measures how quickly an amplifier can respond to a rapid change of input level, which contributes to delivering a precise signal transmission and is especially effective with high resolution audio signals. This newly designed circuit achieves both a high slew rate and stable signal transmission, allowing it to handle each audio signal with precision and accuracy.
In combination with the Yamaha original D. DAC On Pure Ground concept, which eliminates the potential difference between audio circuit stages to reduce ground noise, it dramatically enhances silence and resolution over the entire audio range for rich and expressive reproduction of even the most delicate sounds.
The newly designed Anti-Resonance Technology A. Wedge is a fifth foot in the front-and-center of the chassis unit base. Together with double bottom structure, it dampens much more vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers — providing dynamic sound and focused, accurate reproduction.
The highly logical and symmetrical internal layout of parts and totally renewed circuit boards are designed to keep the signal paths on each board as short as possible. The new H-cross frame improves rigidity of the receiver body and sound stability, allowing for clearer, sharper and more transparent reproduction. Also the newly redesigned mechanical structure contributes to avoiding the transition of vibration from the transformer to the amplifier circuit.
Sound noises are reduced to improve clarity. HDR high dynamic range video provides incredible contrast, smooth tone and rich, bright colors—giving you full, high-definition enjoyment with an exceptionally realistic and natural picture quality. Or use a long piece of string to simulate each wire run, then measure the strings.
See some tips in the video below. You have three main options, two of which are no sweat for DIY installers. Prepping the speaker wires can be a tedious job, but take your time and do it right.
You need secure connections that will stay put for years. Connecting bare speaker wires to a receiver is a real pain. A single stray wire strand could cause a short circuit that shuts down your receiver. Do yourself a favor and get a bunch of banana connectors four per speaker wire. A pack will dress both ends of each speaker wire in a 5. Make sure you match the colors on the connectors usually black and red to the colors or markings on each side of your speaker wire.
For more tips, watch the video below. If you need to re-do any of the connections, first turn off and unplug the receiver. Trust me, connecting bare wire ends to a crowded set of speaker terminals is a real pain.
Banana plugs will make your life much easier. As you plug the speakers in, match the colors on the connectors to the colors on the speaker input terminals. Protect your investment. A high-quality power protection device will keep your gear from being fried in the event of an electrical surge. A good power protection unit is a must.
Make sure you get one with enough outlets to accomodate all of your components. A good power protection unit will give you all the outlets you need, and it will filter noise out of your AC power supply. Learn all about other connections you may encounter by reading our home AV connections glossary. Are you using your TV's built-in video streaming apps or an antenna for over-the-air TV? Good news — you might not have to. Many of the latest receivers offer a helpful onscreen setup guide or app.
You just connect the receiver to your TV and follow the prompts that appear on the TV screen or your mobile device. Watch the video below to learn more about component connections. This is pretty simple. If you prefer a wireless connection, you can get a wireless connection kit. Check out our subwoofer setup guide for tips on how to dial in the perfect bass for your taste. This is where it helps to read the manual. At least skim through it once.
You may be surprised to find some features and settings that enhance your enjoyment or spark some ideas for system expansion. The receiver sends test tones to a microphone placed at your seating location. Then the receiver automatically adjusts the volume and timing of the sound coming from each speaker. You get perfectly balanced and time-aligned surround sound. See how it works in the video below. Follow the network setup instructions specific to your receiver model. Remote controls with dozens of buttons can be difficult.
But now there are ways to make things much more user-friendly. If your receiver offers a remote control app for your mobile device, check it out. Most people find the app easier to use than the handheld remote, especially in a dark room. The app is a must if you use your receiver for multi-room audio and video. It lets you switch sources and control your streaming services from any room in the house.
Many receivers come with scene buttons — presets for a specific activity, like watching TV or listening to the radio. With one button press, you select the source and all the settings you need for the activity. Receivers come with a few scenes pre-programmed, but you can easily edit them or create your own new ones. The new frontier in remote control is voice command technology from Amazon and Google.
Who needs a handheld remote or even a remote control app when you can just tell Alexa what you want your receiver to do? A universal remote takes the scene button concept to the next level. You can sequence commands to multiple components, including your TV, under a single button press or voice command.
A universal remote can also tie your smart lights, security cameras, and other home automation gadgets together with your home AV system. See our universal remote buying guide for more information. At times, you or your guests may just want to watch TV and not bother with the surround sound.
You can do that if your receiver has a feature called HDMI standby pass-through. The signal from the cable box or another source goes through to the TV when the receiver is turned off. Receivers with seven or more channels can be used in many different ways. How can you deploy the additional channels? The manual will show you all of your options. For more information, read our articles about surround sound formats , multi-room audio setups , and bi-amping.
Many receivers include digital signal processing effects. The idea is to simulate the acoustic properties of the different movie environments and live music venues. Some are fun and engaging. Others may sound strange to your ears. Other people like to be bathed in sound from all directions, even when listening to a straightforward stereo recording.
As long as you have these options at your fingertips, you might as well give them a try. Lower quality digital music sources such as internet radio and streaming services can sound dull and lifeless.
Many receivers have a special setting that makes these programs sound better. Again, this is a setting that can go into a scene button. Having trouble hearing what actors are saying when you watch a movie or TV show? To keep the cables and wires behind your receiver from getting tangled up, use cable wraps or wire ties. Read our cable management article for tips on how to approach this challenge. Still have questions? Every Crutchfield purchase includes free lifetime tech support.
One of our technicians would be happy to guide you over any hurdles you might encounter during your installation. I can't seem to get the voice dialogue right need more highs. I have Bose speakers and a Phillips powered subwoofer. I did the mic calibration but am not happy with result. Any suggestions on crossover or amp settings? Thanks, Paul. How do you get an accurate calibration when you are clearly standing between the speaker and microphone?
TV is Samsung, and receiver is Yamaha. If I can send photos, I have some of the back of TV and receiver that shows cabling. That would be easier than me trying to explain. About 15 seconds after I turn on my TV, the sound goes out. Why do I have to go to my receiver and hit the TV button to get sound? My surround sound only comes up when watching movies on my panasonic 3 disk surround system, even when I changed to tv manualy, it was working before.
I appreciate the thorough article. My receiver has HDMI standby pass-through, I know you can listen to the TV speakers if you turn off the receiver, but is there any way to automatically listen to the TV speakers if you change the source on the receiver to something other than the TV?
I have a computer monitor and a TV, sometimes I want to have surround sound when gaming on the computer, but still listen to the TV. If I switch the receiver to my computer, I would like to still have sound coming out of my TV speakers. I have everything plugged into the TV using eARc back tothe reciever. I noticed that devices like my high end PC only offer PCM sound out, which I read was uncompressed and better than dolby offerings. It's picked up as 5. I thought it would only be 2 channel.
Does this seem correct to you? I like the convenience of the TV remote, it's actually pretty good, and in my testing of movies with surround, hear distinct 5 channel sound. It's good enough for me, but I would appreciate some clarity on this particular setup if you're familiar. I am working to set up a receiver, TV, Cable Box, and subwoofer and have some confusion between audio signals and which cords to use.
Does this mean the only option for sound connecting to the TV is using a digital audio output from the TV directly to the receiver? I've read some articles mentioning that if using the digital audio output connection that you will receive 5. Is there a way to ensure the 5. Does it make sense to connect any devices through the receiver or should they all be wired into HDMI ports into the TV? I've also looked into an HDMI audio splitter, would this improve audio quality running an HDMI cord to the splitter and then digital output from that to the receiver?
Thanks for any help in advance. We have a Yamaha RX-V receiver. We had a power outage yesterday, but our power is back on today. Our receiver was online with several wired ceiling speakers. We have updated our receiver's firmware. I guess we somehow screwed the original settings. Can you help? A home theater receiver has two main jobs: to provide sound and power to your speakers, and to send video to your TV or projector.
It also lets you switch between connected sources like a Blu-ray player, cable or satellite box, or a media streamer like Roku or Apple TV 4K. You are using an out of date browser.

ReRe Thread Starter. Feb 28, 1 0 United States. I worked for Disney Uplink and we used these back when. I am NOT up to date as to what they're using now. I'm happy to mail them to anyone - free - but no time to scan them myself. I can send a photo of the manuals - I don't see photo uplink here. Sep 16, 2, 22 South Central Cascade Mountains and on the road. Perhaps, one of the moderators who could scan these and put them in the manuals section should get these Just my thought.
Lifetime Supporter. Aug 9, 26, 6, EM75xb. I'd be more than happy to scan them.
