Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A3010 Network AV Receiver

The Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A3010 9.2-channel network AV receiver is defined by an obsession with details: The Yamaha R&D team took a granular look at every design aspect - circuitry, construction, components, volume and sound reproduction qualities - to achieve the purest, best-sounding audio and the best video reproduction possible. Featuring handpicked components that are continually evaluated and tested for peak performance, this model pushes the best sounding, mid-priced receiver to dramatic new heights. The RX-A3010 integrates key performance, networking and control specifications, such as expanded network set up and control capabilities, convenient front panel direct USB digital connections for iPhone/iPad, as well as compatibility with iPhone and Android A/V system control apps. The RX-A3010 is the industry’s first A/V receiver to incorporate the exceptional HQV high-class “VHD1900” video processing chipset to ensure peak HD and SD video performance. It also offers Yamaha’s proprietary CINEMA DSP HD3 that expands the sound field vertically for the most realistic surround sound available in a home theater receiver. The substantial high-end look and feel of this receiver goes far beyond aesthetics to deliver unprecedented sound quality in its price category. The specially designed signature fifth foot (Anti Resonance Technology Wedge for Advanced Vibration Damping) at the bottom of the model improves structural rigidity, which reduces vibration that can cause distortion and audibly improves sound quality. Yamaha also incorporated double-bottom construction on the RX-A3010 to improve peak performance at any volume level. The innovative design also provides immediate thermal feedback to the unit’s transistors to eliminate harmonic distortion over the course of operation. All components, including wires, fuses and electrical paths, were rethought and redesigned to create works of visual and acoustic art for the home.

Features

The Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A3010 enables the integration of front virtual presence speakers in a single zone or 7.2 channels in the main zone and stereo audio in an additional zone. It also features dual HDMI (Zone B output capability) for convenient dual HDTV viewing for the main room and in a secondary room simultaneously via the main AV system's HDMI sources. The RX-A3010 provides full HD Audio decoding (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio), 8 HDMI inputs (one on the front panel) and 2 HDMI simultaneous outputs with 3D and Audio Return Channel. The advanced networking control functions provide seamless integration with a wide range of third-party home automation control systems, while permitting control via a PC Web browser or by free iPhone/iPad and Android apps. The Web browser control also enables system settings to be easily backed up and recovered from a PC. DLNA (1.5) compatibility and Windows 7 certification enables this networked receiver to easily stream Internet Radio (MP3/WMA), Rhapsody and Sirius, while easily playing music files (WAV, MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC 96/24) from a PC or DLNA Server. Web set up manager software enables this model to be seamlessly integrated into custom installation environments. The RX-A3010 features SCENE PLUS, which provides a total of 12 system operation choices. Users of Apple mobile devices will appreciate the convenience afforded by the front panel direct USB digital connections for iPhone/iPod/iPad found on this model, as well as by the optional YDS-12 or YID-W10 wireless yAired dock. Further versatility is provided by the optional Yamaha Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver YBA-10, which enables users to listen to their favorite music on just about any Bluetooth-enabled device, including iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android phone, MP3 player and most smartphones.

Benefits

The RX-A3010 offers Yamaha's proprietary YPAO room optimizer with Reflected Sound Control (RSC) sound optimization for multi-point (speaker height and directivity) measurement, DSP Effect Normalization, Room Acoustic Echo and reflection and echo control. The RX-A3010 is sold with a learning/preset remote control with an intuitive GUI -- with song/station select, album cover art display, zone tone and balance controls and short messages -- as well as a separate second zone control unit. An ease-of-use design refinement presents the control buttons on the receivers and GUI in a consistent manner to avoid confusion. Other key features of the RX-A3010 include Compressed Music Enhancer; Low Jitter PLL Circuitry; HDMI V.1.4a 3D Pass-through with ARC (Audio Return Channel); and analog-to-HDMI 1080p video upscaling with precise deinterlacing for stunning, lifelike picture quality, even from non-HD sources. Also included are Deep Color (30/36 bit) technology, x.v.Color, 24Hz Refresh Rates, audio input assign capability for HDMI and component video inputs and Auto Lip-Sync compensation, which automatically eliminates audio/video sync issues. The RX-A3010 is also "eco-friendly" with low standby power consumption (0.3W and 2.7W in HDMI standby through mode) and auto power down function with variable time setting.
