Yamaha RX-Z9 Features |
|
|
|
Receiver Of Respect |
|
| The RXZ9 employs a wide array of sophisticated technology, beginning with Burr-Brown 192-kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters for all 11 channels with DSD (Direct Stream Digital) compatibility. An Accurate-Touch Volume control is also used for all channels (Yamaha YAC520 LSIs). The digital bass/treble tone controls have turnover frequencies for main L/R and center channels. 80-channel analog input signals are processed by 192kHz A/D conversion for high sound quality (1-bit direct conversion for SACD and DVD-Audio). All circuitry is on a 4-layer processing board with full shielded cabinet for reduced digital interference. The receiver also offers i.LINK (IEEE1394) compatibility. The RXZ9 provides a choice of five specialized signal paths for obtaining the purest signal quality possible. The PCM1792 is a high-performance, precision 24-bit BiCMOS DAC with ultra-low distortion of only 0.0008 percent (K-grade THD + N) and S/N ratio of 120dB. It offers superior low level linearity, with excellent full-scale performance under varying operating conditions. Its major benefit is performing accurate sound field reproduction for high quality multi-channel reproduction such as Dolby Digital and DTS. Pure Direct provides the shortest possible signal path for 2-channel or multi-channel analog inputs, with no signal processing and no display. Straight outputs the original analog or digital signal without any post-processing. Direct Stereo provides a direct connection for stereo input, with a dimmed display. 2-Channel Stereo processes the multichannel signal and outputs it via 2 channels, for those with a two-speaker system. And the iLINK connection is for multi-channel digital music signals (DVD-Audio and SACD). |
|
High-Definition CINEMA DSP Circuitry |
|
| The RXZ9 has six times greater DSP capacity than previous models, thanks to an increase from 48kHz A/D converters to 96kHz/24-it types that can accept 96kHz analog signals for direct digital conversion and processing. Higher density processing enables approximately triple the amount of early reflection data to be handled, for significantly richer surround sound performance. The RXZ9 also employs 192kHz/24-bit D/A conversion and DSP processing and Yamaha's 32-Bit Floating-Point Quantization System LSIs (YSS-930 x 4) for high precision decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, DTS 96/24, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Neo:6 and Dolby Pro Logic II formats. There are 51 surround programs available, with 71 variations, including Quad-Field CINEMA DSP programs for 6.1-channel digital surround. SILENT CINEMA for surround sound through headphones and Virtual Cinema DSP for two-speaker systems are also included. Even though CINEMA DSP has been the premier DSP technology for the past few years, Yamaha has upgraded it in the RXZ9. In fact, this receiver has 6 times greater DSP capacity than previous models, thanks to an increase from 48k to 98k signal capability and 3 times higher density early reflections. |

Volume, Lip-Sync and Tone Controls |
|
| No one expects more from a volume control than up and down, except Yamaha. They decided that controlling the volume could be made both easier and more accurate, and the result is the Accurate Touch Volume Control. It lets you make delicate adjustments within a narrow range, yet enables you to move to very high or low levels more quickly. Its extreme accuracy is due to a high-signal-resolution analog design in conjunction with an ultra-precise digital control circuit (Yamaha original YAC-520 LSIs) for all channels. The wide control range extends from -80dB to +16.5dB, with narrow 0.5dB steps throughout the entire range for delicate control, even at low volumes. The YSS-930 LSI in the RXZ9 provides accurate synchronization of images and sound, known as "lip-sync." Most audio LSIs do not have the necessary speed and precision to handle this, but with the YSS-930, not only has accurate lip-sync been achieved, but its parameters can be adjusted by the user. Digital tone controls are provided for left, right and center channels, allowing a much greater degree of control over the front sound field. |
|
High Power, High Current |
|
| Although power rating is often the first thing people look at in a receiver, high power output does not necessarily mean good sound. High current level is a much more important factor. Yamaha receivers have always had fairly high current levels, but with the RXZ9, they have further improved this performance. In brief, Yamaha High Current Amplification achieves low impedance, high current power from input (power supply circuit) to output (speaker terminals). This drives the speakers much more smoothly and dynamically, for better sound from all sources, including 2-channel audio. The first problem to be overcome was the difference in voltage that ordinary receivers suffer between the power supply and amplifier circuits, caused by current fluctuations. This was solved by using custom-made, high-grade block electrolytic capacitors and a copper grip for one-point grounding. Another current drop is generally seen between the amplifier circuit and the speaker terminals, caused by the cables, speaker output relays, copper circuit boards, and so on. To increase current here, they used an extra-large, low-impedance transformer and gold-plated speaker relay contacts. |
|
9-Channel High Power, Discrete Amplifier Configuration |
|
| The RXZ9 delivers a huge 170 watts to each of seven channels (two front, one center, two surround and two surround back), as well as 50 watts to the two presence (front effect) channels. This is more than enough to fill even the largest rooms with vibrant music and Richter-scale sound effects. 6-4 mixdown is also provided, for enjoying 6-channel input sources from four of five speakers you already have on hand with or without subwoofer. The high current amplification system uses symmetrical drive and a full push-pull circuit configuration with a complementary FET input stage. A large torrodial transformer and large capacity block chemical condenser ensure a stable power supply. The RXZ9 is capable of delivering large amounts of reserve power for accurate reproduction of the high energy peaks that are expecially prevalent in digital audio sources. This emphasizes the music's dynamic qualities and provides a sharper sound image. Level variations due to high amp impedance tend to reduce an amplifier's damping factor, and frequency variations cause it to fluctuate. This circuit cancels the effect of these variations, maintaining a high, stable damping factor, for superior articulation of all sounds and better frequency response. |
|
CINEMA DSP |
|
| Conventional 5.1-channel/6.1-channel 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 merge to envolop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects from the presence (front line), surround and surround back fields, you will hear sound with highly accurate localization, 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. Tri-field CINEMA DSP projects three sound fields into the home theater: a Presence sound field in the front and two Surround sound fields in the left rear and right rear, resulting in a powerfully realistic three-dimensional soundscape. And now Yamaha also offers Quad-Field CINEMA DSP. It adds an additional rear center sound field to the Tri-Field system, in order to enjoy the newer 6.1-channel formats, Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES. One of the main advantages of CINEMA DSP is the large choice of sound field programs available. The basic program for movies is Enhanced, which greatly improves the sound of the surround fields. The "largest" of these sound fields is Spectacle, which recreates the open feeling of large-scale, epic motion pictures. The Sci-Fi is designed to reproduce all the complex, dynamic sounds of space/science fiction movies. Adventure and General are also included. Digital input terminals are provided to handle any kind of digital input. Functions are programmed to select priority in order of coaxial digital, optical digital and analog when different digital formats are input from the same source. The sound decoder is also automatically selected and processed according to the combination of the format and input signals and the selected sound field programs, while DSP sound field processing is optimized at the same time. When you're listening to movies late at night and turn down the volume during loud scenes, dynamic range suffers and you may miss some dialogue and other sounds. By engaging the Night Listening mode, you can reduce the volume and still enjoy proper tonal balance and dynamic range. You hear dialogue clearly and the music and action are just as exciting (without the screams and explosions disturbing others). The SILENT CINEMA mode gives you private listening enjoyment of multi-channel music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS surround, through ordinary headphones. It's automatically selected when the headphones are plugged in. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using rear speakers (handy for use in custom installations where some rooms don't have rear speakers). It can be used with the main/center/front effect speakers or even with just the two main left and right speakers. |
|
Easy Setup and Operation |
|
| YPAO capability is one of the RXZ9's most innovative and appealing features. The receiver comes supplied with a small microphone, which you place in the listening position. Activating the functions causes a test tone to be emitted, which is analyzed, and based on the results, the audio output is automatically adjusted to provide the optimum sound for the room acoustics. The optimizer functions as a parametric, not merely a graphic, equalizer, providing a degree of precision calibration that you could not do by yourself. Among the factors considered are speaker position, speaker connection, speaker size, channel level balance, speaker distance and speaker frequency response. In short, the RXZ9 not only delivers better sound, it delvers the best sound for each and every room. A handy GUI that includes extensive yet easily understandable setup menus makes it easy to select and adjust desired functions. Especially useful is the speaker display in the Speaker Test mode that makes it easy to balance the levels of all speakers. DSP programs can be selected with the remote control so their effects can be judged from the listening position. A rotary encoder input selector makes source selection quick and easy. The RXZ9 has an ergonomic design that ensures simple, convenient operation. Everything from the layout of the controls to the display menus has been planned to make using it easy and enjoyable. For even greater setup ease, a Basic Mode permits basic settings to be made without using the setup menus and with a minimum of steps. The front panel display shows a variety of surround sound status indications, so you always know what modes you are in. The Program name is displayed, including the word "Night" if the Night Listening mode is selected. Six sound field modes including Quad-Field and Tri-Field are also indicated. |
|
Fine Tuning |
|
| The RXZ9 has numerous features designed to facilitate use in custom, multi-room installations. These include Zone 2 optical digital, video, (including S-Video) and audio output for multi-room control capability, speaker A/B selection, an RS-232C interface with extended IR code for two-way communication, two trigger outputs, an IR port and a Zone 2 remote control unit. Frequency response of the Component Video Monitor Out signals is DC-200MHz, making it compatible with HDTV monitors. The RXZ9 provides a choice of nine subwoofer crossover frequencies: 40, 60, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 160 and 200 Hz. In addition to providing a wider range than other receivers, the steps from 80 to 120 Hz are only 10 Hz apart for more precise selection. This choice of crossovers lets you "fine-tune" the audio system by selecting the optimum frequency to maximize receiver/speaker efficiency and also ensures best performance from a wider variety of speakers (small to large). Yamaha offers terminals that can be either independently assigned to sources or defaulted to fixed settings. In addition to the many audio parameters that can be adjusted, the RXZ9 provides an even greater degree of sound field control with the inclusion of a graphic equalizer. This lets you finely "tune" the overall balance of the sound field to achieve the optimal imaging for movie sound. |

Sophisticated Video Technology |
|
| Designed for use in high-end home theater systems, the RXZ9 offers the highest level of video performance. Full up/down video conversion (component, S-Video, composite) is offered, meaning that you simply use the best possible cable between the receiver and the TV, and then whatever the source is , you are assured of getting the highest possible quality. The RXZ9 offers Progressive Scan Video Output for use with high definition monitors. The progressive circuit is an Area Adaptive 3:2 Pull-Down Detection type, and gives you the benefit of proogressive scanning even if you DVD player does not have it. Other video technologies include a Time Base Corrector, 108MHz/10-bit Video D/A Conversion, Motion Adaptive Noise Reduction, Close Color Suppression, Aspect Ratio Conversion and Faroudja's TrueLife Enhancer circuitry. The RXZ9 also offers Faroudja's DCDi Processing, which is selectable and ensures that images are smooth and natural, without staircasing or jaggies. |
|
Powerful Learning Remote |
|
| The RXZ9 remote control can "learn" the functions of other components, so you can use it as a single remote for your entire system. It has a large memory capacity and comes pre-encoded with many television and component codes. The buttons in the component control area have different functions for each type fo component, selected by pressing the input button. The input name is shown in the LCD window, and you can change each name. Frequently used functions are easily accessible on the front, while others are located under a sliding panel. Finally, 15 different macros (multi-channel) functions can be programmed. |
