More details:

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.

* This feature is available via firmware update.

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.

CINEMA DSP 3D for movies, music and gaming

Yamaha's unique 'Sound Field Creation' technology was developed by combining measured sound field data and digital signal processing. Yamaha has collected the sound field data from famous concert halls and music clubs around the world. The extensive expertise in the design of concert halls, in sound reinforcement technology and in audio mixing came into its own. By digitizing vast amounts of information and integrating it into dedicated LSI devices, the acoustics of concert halls and music clubs in your home can be accurately recreated. Immerse yourself in an extremely realistic film world and the authentic sound of famous venues.

Sound improvement for digitally compressed music (Compressed Music Enhancer)

When music is encoded 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

Such an amplifier produces precise signal transmission and is particularly suitable for high-resolution audio signals. Amplifiers with high slew rate often cause unstable signal transmission, but Yamaha's new circuit achieves the high slew rate with stable signal transmission.

Anti-Resonance Technology Wedge

The Anti Resonance Technology (ART) wedge incorporates a fifth foot in the center of the chassis base. This reduces the vibrations coming from power transformers, power transistors and heat dissipation. It also dampens possible vibrations that can be caused by the sound of the loudspeakers and thus offers a dynamic sound as well as a focused, precise reproduction.

HDR10+*

HDR10+ doesn't just mean scene-to-scene (or even frame-to-frame) dynamic range (light-dark ratio) in video content. 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.

4K120Hz

Thanks to 4K/120 Hz, ultra-fast moving images in UHD can be reproduced with high contrast and razor-sharp, so that high-performance gaming systems, sports and action films are much more pleasant to watch.

* This feature is available via firmware update.

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™ Reflected Sound Control (RSC)

YPAO™ Reflected Sound Control (RSC) 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 the sound parameters, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the 3D sound field with CINEMA DSP 3D, Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®. The 64-bit EQ calculation achieves an extremely realistic sound in the room.

Compatible with wireless rear speaker

Combine this AV receiver with the MusicCast 50 or MusicCast 20 wireless streaming speakers for the convenience of setting up a home theater with wireless surround sound. Experience immersive, realistic sound with intuitive, hassle-free setup. This turns your living room into an entertainment space where you can enjoy movies and music to the fullest.
