Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD decoding▲
Dolby TrueHD
The YAMAHA RXA3010 has
Dolby TrueHD which is a next-generation lossless technology developed
for high-definition disc-based media. It delivers sound that is bit-for-bit
identical to the studio master at a bit rate of up to 18 Mbps. It also supports
up to 8 full-range channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio (although TrueHD can support
more than 8 channels, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray standards limit it to 8) and extensive
metadata including dialogue normalization and dynamic range control all through
an HDMI connection. Dolby TrueHD is compatible with existing and future AV
amplifiers/receivers.
Dolby Digital Plus
The YAMAHA RX-A3010 has Dolby Digital Plus decoding. Dolby Digital Plusis a next-generation audio technology for all high-definition programming and media.
Dolby Digital Plus was designed for the delivery formats of the future, but remains fully compatible with all current AV amplifier/receivers.
Dolby Digital Plus is capable of supporting data rates of up to 6Mbps and having a bit rate performance of at least 3Mbps on Blu-ray.
DTS-HD
The YAMAHA RX-A3010 has DTS-HD which has been selected as an optional audio technology for Blu-Ray
Disc and HD-DVD. DTS-HD is a set of extensions to DTS' Coherent Acoustics audio
coding system which encompasses DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES 6.1 discrete, DTS
Neo:6 and DTS 96/24. As a mandatory technology in the next generation standards,
a DTS decoder will be built into every HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player. A single
DTS-HD data stream on a disc can carry everything from standard DTS 5.1 playable
on virtually all existing 280 million plus DTS decoders, all the way to lossless
for next-generation systems.
YPAO acoustic correctionMore Info...
YPAO acoustic correction▲
Yamaha’s Aventage series employ YPAO room equalisation, which aims to tune the receiver’s output to match your room. A setup microphone is supplied and the receiver then uses information to set parameters for the audio reproduction including speaker distance, speaker size and SPL (sound pressure level). It also employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for further improved audio playback.

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) v1.4
The HDMI v1.4 connections on the YAMAHA RX-A3010 allows for the transmission of 1080p 3D content between a
3D-compatible Blu-Ray Disc player and a 3D HD display. It also brings in
an audio return channel allowing for two-way transmission of audio. This
allows your television, for example, to send audio back from its
integrated tuner to the receiver, solving the problem of having to run
more than one cable between your A/V receiver and TV.
1080p HDMI video upscalingMore Info...
1080p HDMI video upscaling▲
Video Upscaling
Video content comes in many different shapes and sizes. A DVD, for example, could come in a 4:3 aspect at 480p whilst a
Blu-ray or computer game may come in a 16:9 aspect at 1080i. Thse signals must first be processed by either an A/V
receiver or by your television in order to display correctly. In the first instance, when upscaling from 480p to 1080p,
an algorithm is used to interpolate the original pixels. The end result is a largely new frame; many of the pixels displayed
are an average of those around them. In the second instance, from 1080i to 1080p, the image is simply deinterlaced. This
process precedes any upscaling, so if you upscale from 480i to 1080p, it will first be deinterlaced before being upscaled.
Dual HDMI outputsMore Info...
Dual HDMI outputs▲
The Yamaha has two HDMI outputs. HDMI Out 1 has Audio Return Channel, whereas HDMI Out 2 just displays the selected video source. Dual outputs are useful if you have two display devices such as a Plasma/LCD TV & a projector or if you wanted to run the video signal to another room.

HQV Vida VHD1900 Video Processor
This processor attempts to enhance the viewing experience because it is the first truly integrated video processing integrated circuit.
This sets the standards for processing performance in high quality video and it does this with four-field motion adaptive de-interlacing,
multi cadence tracking, expanded 12-bit colour processing and detail enhancement. This aims to transform standard definition sources to
near-HD quality and can even be used to try and clean up HD images. The device provides real-time clean up of compressed video, reducing
compression artefacts of block and mosquito noise from lower quality sources.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
DLNA is an agreed standard for sharing media from your computer across your home network to devices like this. This can be
digital photos, music and videos. Not all devices are capable of playing back all media, some only playback audio.

RDS
The YAMAHA RX-A3010 has an RDS Radio Data System Radio Tuner.
RDS is Data piggybacked on analogue FM radio allowing RDS tuners to display the names of stations.
Used in most car stereos the feature is also useful in the home to let you know which station you are listening to

Front USB input with iPod Digital▲
iPod Digital
iPod Digital allows you to connect in most modern iPods via USB and playback audio from your iPod, using the interface of the receiver
to browse playlists and tracks. You can also normally view album artwork GUI during playback when connected to a unit with a video output,
like an A/V receiver. However, you can often navigate using the front panel display, removing the need to turn on your television to enjoy
music from your iPod.

Yamaha "Compressed Music Enhancer" ▲
Compressed audio such as .mp3 files lose significant amounts of information during the compression process. The Compressed Music Enhancer from Yamaha utilises digital signal processing with proprietary algorithms which aim to improve the quality of your digitised audio.
Compatible with Yamaha’s free AV Controller app, allowing your basic control of your receiver from your iOS device
A.R.T Wedge to help reduce vibrationMore Info...
A.R.T Wedge to help reduce vibration▲
Aiming to dampen vibrations from the transformer, the A.R.T (Anti-Resonance Technology) Wedge is a fifth foot localised in the centre of the receiver. It also helps to reduce any vibration from the heat sinks, transistors or even vibration caused from the speakers themselves.
CINEMA DSP 3D includes 23 different DSP programs, such as
Useful for custom installation. IR Inputs and Outputs allow 3rd party RF (Radio Frequency) remote controls to connect at the rear of the receiver and pass the codes that would normally be transmitted via infrared directly to the receiver. The IR output allows this to be looped through to other equipment. The Zone 2/3 12v trigger outputs allows 3rd party items like a projection screen to be controlled.
Bi-Amping capabilityMore Info...
Bi-Amping capability▲
Bi-Amping allows you to use any spare amps you have on your A/V Amplifier to get the most out of your front speakers. To do this your front speakers need to be biwireable (Have two sets of terminals marked HF and LF) and you need to run bi-wire cable. You also need to have two spare channels. So for example if your are using only 5.1 speakers you can use the other two channels for Bi-Amping

Powered Zone 2/3 option and Zone 2/3 preouts▲
Zone 2 allows you to be watch/listening to a separate input in another room. For example one person might be watching a Blu-Ray in one room and another could be listening to the radio. If you are only using 5.1 you can assign the extra channels of amplification to Zone 2 and 3.
