High definition ear and eye candy
Theaters aren't the only places that boast surround sound. Now that the RX-V1900 receiver is in your entertainment room, music and movies come alive in a cinematic way. Now your home pulses with colorful sound thanks to Dolby TrueHD technology, one of the many features in your RXV1900 receiver. This is Dolby's next-generation lossless technology that has been developed for high-definition disc-based media. You get tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on next-generation discs.
Powerful connections
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only digital interface to combine uncompressed high-definition video, multi-channel audio, and intelligent format and command data in a single digital interface. HDMI switching, providing the most advanced method of delivering high quality video signals to a home theater system to enable the reproduction of DVD and satellite TV sources with HD quality. HDMI can also send the digital audio signals from sources such as DVD Audio, CD, Dolby Digital, and DTS to provide simple component connection. The RXV1900 includes the latest HDMI 1.3a (4 in/1 out). 120Hz / 24Hz refresh rates combined with auto lip-sync compensation keep music and movies crisp and clear.
Automatic system calibration
Yamaha's YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level, etc. until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room and you don't have to do anything. A new Quick Start function displays the YPAO Auto Setup menu when the microphone jack is inserted, so Start can be immediately selected. Six YPAO settings can be memorized.
Expanding your entertainment possibilities . . .
Yamaha's optional YDS10 Universal Dock lets you connect your iPod to the RXV1900. Now that your plugged in, listen to your music library and watch iPod images and movies on your monitor via the receiver. Operate your iPod via the receiver's remote unit with the On-Screen Display. The YDS11 (sold separately) works with: iPod nano, iPod mini, and iPod (Click and Wheel). The RXV1900 is also XM Satellite Radio ready, allowing you to hear over 150 digital channels of music, news, sports, talk, and entertainment from America's number one satellite radio service. With the addition of the XM Connect and Play digital antenna accessory (sold separately), just subscribe to XM Satellite Radio and hear radio as it was meant to be.
. . . and getting the most out of them
Neural-THX Surround makes surround music, radio listening, and games more accessible and enjoyable. Neural-THX Surround's unique encoding process provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound in a format 100 percent compatible with stereo for use in CDs, radios, portable digital music players, and digital music downloads. With superior spectral resolution and channel separation, Neural-THX Surround draws the brain's attention to the sonic details in musical instruments, vocals and ambience that are typically masked by other playback systems. This allows the listener to fully experience the richness and subtleties in recorded performance as never before. And, with their Compressed Music Enhancer, Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible.
Digital ToP-ART construction
Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) is the name Yamaha has given to a design philosophy whose goal is to maximize digital quality while minimizing analog circuitry. The culmination of Yamaha's long experience in digital engineering and design brings together several key elements to create the best-sounding A/V components available on the market. The RXV1900 is powered by Anchor Bay Technologies' ABT1010 scaler engine that can independently scale an image horizontally and vertically to further improve the picture quality on high resolution displays (to 1080i/720p with HDMI output).
SILENT CINEMA and CINEMA DSP
SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. This is a variation of CINEMA DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in custom installations where some rooms don't have surround speakers). It can be used with the front/center/presence speakers or even with just the two front left and right speakers.
More on CINEMA DSP
Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. Dialogue has accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater. The decoding circuitry performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES (DTS-ES matrix 6.1 and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1), DTS Neo:6 and DTS 96/24 decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as all digital sound field processing.
