YAMAHA TRUE SOUND

Make every night movie night. You will feel like you have stepped into history. Yamaha's approach to tonal balance in the RX-A8A delivers incredibly detailed and accurate tones in every register. Dynamism is found in the emotional contrast between stillness and movement in the film. The urgency and tension between the action scenes is felt through the sound field created.

YAMAHA SURROUND:AI™

The 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 immediately analyzes scenes by focusing on specific sound elements such as dialogue, background music, ambient noise and sound effects, and automatically optimizes the surround effect in real time. Imagine a Yamaha audio engineer tuning the best sound live and specifically for you while you listen to music. AI technology creates a convincingly realistic impression with expressive performance that goes beyond traditional sound field effects, giving you the most immersive entertainment experience possible. Qualcomm® QCS407 with high-precision 64-bit processing delivers precise surround sound.

CINEMA DSP HD3 for movies, music and gaming

Yamaha's cutting-edge 3D sound field reproduction technology was developed by combining actually measured sound field data with the latest digital signal processing technology. The redesigned CINEMA DSP HD3 features new signal processing algorithms and maximizes movie theater sound effects, creating a new level of realism. This creates a sound field with an intense sense of presence and without the impression of boundaries. By using front, center and surround speakers to create a virtual rear speaker, CINEMA DSP HD3 playback of up to 11.1 channels is possible even with a 7.1 channel speaker configuration*.

* Requires front presence speaker connection.

Yamaha RX-A8A Dolby Atmos® with Treble Virtualization

If you don't have ceiling speakers or upward-firing speakers, there's Dolby Atmos® with height virtualization. This system simulates the Atmos audio experience with front-facing speakers. You can configure up to five speakers to have the same effect as two ceiling speakers, or use all seven channels for an effective simulation of four overhead speakers.

Feel Dolby Atmos® in every dimension. Combine a 5.1 surround system with two additional overhead speakers or two Dolby Atmos® height speakers to create dramatic overhead effects with a truly room-filling soundstage - all with the Dolby Surround upmixer for legacy content.

DTS:X®

DTS:X immersive audio formatting maps sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating a lifelike, multidimensional audio experience. With the built-in DTS Neural:X™ spatial remapping engine, immerse yourself in your favorite movies and enjoy even more realistic viewing pleasure.

AURO 3D®

The magic of AURO-3D® technologies lies in the ability to transform any space and any content. AURO-3D® offers a purely transformative, breathtaking and immersive sound experience every time. AURO's unique vertical stereo field allows sound to move around us as we are used to in everyday life, creating a powerful soundscape that brings us into the world of the content we choose. Escape into history, lose yourself in music, experience every moment and emotion as nature intended.

Sound improvement for digitally compressed music (Compressed Music Enhancer)

When music is encoded in the Yamaha RX-A8A into a digital, compressed format such as MP3, the frequency response is affected. Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer uses exclusive algorithms in the digital signal processing that restore the lost quality. This way the music sounds the way it should! Fresh and balanced.

Benefits of High Slew Rate Amplifiers

A new circuit that more than doubles the slew rate creates precise signal transmission and is particularly suitable for high-resolution audio signals. Amplifiers with a high slew rate often cause unstable signal transmission, but Yamaha's newly developed circuit achieves a high slew rate with stable signal transmission.

High quality digital components

Qualcomm® QCS407 is engineered to deliver outstanding audio performance, with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for immersive home audio, and a dedicated high-performance audio DSP.

Featuring ESS's state-of-the-art 32-bit SABER PRO Premier DAC ES9026PRO. ESS patented 32-bit Hyper Stream Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) compensation feature minimizes noise levels. Combined with Yamaha's original DOPG (DAC on Pure Ground) concept, which eliminates the potential difference between audio stages to reduce ground noise, it improves silence and resolution across the entire audio range, ensuring rich and expressive reproduction of even the most delicate tones.

Yamaha Anti-Resonance Technology Wedge

The Anti Resonance Technology (ART) wedge forms a fifth foot in the center of the chassis base. This dampens the vibrations generated by the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as those that can be caused by the sound emitted by the speakers, thus providing dynamic sound and focused, precise reproduction.

Redesigned mechanical structure

The highly logical and symmetrical internal layout of components and fully redesigned circuit boards is designed to keep the signal paths on each board as short as possible. The new H-cross frame improves receiver body rigidity and sound stability, enabling clearer, sharper and more transparent playback. Also, the redesigned mechanical structure helps to avoid the transfer of vibrations from the transformer to the amplifier circuit. Noise is reduced to improve clarity.

HDR10+*

HDR10+ not only stands for a dynamic spectrum (light-dark ratio) in video content from scene to scene (or even from frame to frame). With a small amount of metadata, it also represents the scene characteristics between light and dark, so that important details are preserved. This allows the images – and therefore the filmmaker's intention – to be more realistically represented on the screen.

* This feature is available via firmware update.

8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz*

Supports end-to-end 8K/4K resolutions as well as higher refresh rate solutions with a single redesigned cable for seamless integration into the HDMI ecosystem. 8K creates a super-immersive moving image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of 4K and four times the number of pixels. In combination with the update rate of 60 Hz, the result is a smooth, sharp moving image, even with fast image changes. Thanks to 4K/120 Hz, ultra-fast moving images in UHD can be reproduced with high contrast and pin sharp, so that sports, action films, high-performance gaming systems and VR are much more pleasant to watch.

* This function is available via firmware update for RX-A8A.

Dedicated gaming function (ALLM, VRR, QMS, QFT)*

The expanded gaming and media functions ensure even more seamless motion sequences and transitions in games, films and videos. The Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) enables the automatic setting of the ideal latency for a smooth, lag-free and uninterrupted moving image with interactivity. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) reduces or eliminates lag, stuttering and screen tearing for a smoother, more detailed gaming experience. Quick Media Switching (QMS) for movies and videos eliminates delays that can cause black screens before content is played. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) reduces game latency for smoother, lag-free gaming with real-time interactive VR.

* This feature is available via firmware update.

YPAO™-RSC (with 3D, multi-point measurement and high-precision 64-bit EQ)

YPAO-RSC (Reflected Sound Control) analyzes room acoustics using the included YPAO microphone to tune your system for the ultimate sound in a specific room. RSC corrects early reflections for studio quality sound. YPAO 3D offers automatic adjustment of sound parameters, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of 3D sound field with CINEMA AI 3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The high-precision 64-bit EQ calculation achieves absolutely natural-looking room acoustics.
