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 ON
Pure Direct delivers two-channel audio sources such as CD and
multi-channel audio sources including Super Audio CD and DVD-
Audio at levels of sound quality that will satisfy even the most
dedicated music lovers. (Also compatible with HD audio bitstream
signals in RX-Z11BL, RX-V3800BL and RX-V1800BL)

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-Z11BL, RX-V3800BL,
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.

The HDMI 1.3a, provides the benefits of Deep Color
(30/36bit), the xvYCC color standard, Auto Lip-Sync
function that automatically adjusts the lag between
video and audio, and a double speed Refresh Rates
of 120Hz and 1080p/24Hz.
When you use the RX-Z11BL's HDMI outputs to
transmit video signals, you enjoy spectacular color
4
performance. One reason is that HDMI 1.3a uses a
new color standard called xvYCC, which supports 1.8
times as many colors as
previous HDTV signals.
This expanded range of
colors means that HDTVs

can display images with
colors that are far more
natural and vivid than
ever before.
