Click to enlarge AVENTAGE is a dramatic, inspired leap forward in audio/video component design. AVENTAGE brings studio grade sound and sophisticated video enhancements to your home with unparalleled attention to detail in design, engineering, and fabrication. We rethought every electrical path, every part, every piece, and every material to maximize performance. Details that at first glance would not seem to affect the quality of sight, sound, and control, when brought together in an AVENTAGE component, produce a work of visual and acoustic art. In addition to an innovative new construction design, the RX-A1000 A/V Receiver offers 3D and Audio Return Channel over 8 in/2 out HDMI, CINEMA DSP 3D, new GUI, new YPAO with Multi-Point Control, and an RS232 port with and Control4® certification for integration with custom installations. Along with network functions like DLNA certification and control via your web browser, the RX-A1000 is ready to become your home entertainment power player. A Unique Approach to Enhanced Performance Enhanced Stability: Double Bottom Construction and a Specially Designed 5th Foot (A.R.T. Wedge) A specially designed fifth foot adds even more stability to reduce vibration Strong stability in an amplifier design reduces noise and jitter in your digital signal for clearer audio and video. High-grade, heavier terminals reduce vibration at the speaker connections. An additional bottom cover contributes extra support at higher volume levels for the power transformer and heat sinks. And the specially-designed fifth foot at the center of the amplifier--an Anti-Resonance Technology (A.R.T.) Wedge--improves overall structural rigidity and reduces vibration, resulting in a more stable signal and sound improvement. Enhanced Power: Optimized Power Amplifier Layout with Low Jitter Circuitry The symmetrical power amplifier layout evenly distributes weight across the amplifier to control vibration, improving signal-to-noise ratio for an improved sound experience. The high-quality Burr-Brown DACs feature a direct path to ground, not sharing the ground like in other amplifier designs, for a more efficient and clean signal. Built-in Low Jitter circuitry reduces jitter from digital sources, including HDMI, using a more precise timing control--so you can be sure of a stable audio/video signal, resulting in perfectly reproduced images and sound. A hybrid power supply makes the AVENTAGE series even more efficient. Independent power supplies for the digital and analog circuit results in less power consumption in standby mode, and a more efficient power transformer--so despite the power of the RX-A1000, it could cost you less to run.

Exclusive Yamaha Features for Surround Realism Yamaha CINEMA DSP is an advanced exclusive technology for creating richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. 17 CINEMA DSP 3D settings let you customize the effect for your room. Adaptive DSP Level evaluates the difference between the volume level and a reference level, adjusting the DSP level to ensure optimum effectiveness, so you'll experience cinema-quality audio even at lower volumes. CINEMA DSP's decoding technology also takes advantage of Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer, so you can enjoy your digital music library on your home theater system without sacrificing audio quality.

They are initially set to default settings for DVD Viewing, Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening, but can be customized to whatever you need. Yamaha™'s YPAO system uses a small microphone (included) 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 the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room--and you don't have to do anything. Multizone Capability for Extending Your Home Theater Experience With support for audio and video in up to two zones, the RX-A1000 can become your home entertainment hub no matter what room it's in. An included Party Mode enhances your next get-together. Your zone settings can be saved, backed up, and restored later for convenience.

Overvalued Yahama it through the image Comm As I write this review, I am to my favorite music DVD (Eagles, Hell freezes over) hear, and I have the volume up to 70% depending on the listening volume of the Yamaha HTR-5790 (50 vol%) that replaces the RX-A1000. The 5790 has 110 watts vs. 105 watts per channel for the RX-A1000. It was time to replace my 5790, because I recently bought a Samsung LCD TV 8000-series, and I wanted a 1080p signal from my DVD player to the TV through the receiver from Yamaha. The 5790 had no HDMI port and you can not pass a 1080p signal via component cables. The old Yamaha was able to process Dolby True HD either. One of the most interesting features of the new receiver is the ability to transmit video and audio to the TV via the HDMI cable, even if the receiver is turned off. How cool is that? We do not always have 735 watts, especially when we are alone, just a news channel. Another interesting feature is the NET Radio RX-1000 I have connected the LAN port on my router (via a gigabit switch) and 24 hours later (I could not get it to work right away), I listen to 15,000 radio stations. It took 24 hours to understand that the receiver was connected to a computer network? Not sure why it did not work right away. I checked all my settings again and again and then it was off when my patience began to wear a little 'thin. The next day when I turned on the radio was working on NET. This unit is about $ 200 a step from my old receiver, but in my opinion does not correspond to the sound of my older Yamaha units. Damn, had 5 watts to make a difference? Yamaha spent 2 years of design and construction of the series Aventage from the frame up. This was not a reform, (to build and improve on an existing chassis) is a brand new project, the number of feet (5) on the bottom. Well all in all I have this device, but if I had to do more, I would have waited one month and bought the RX-RX-A2000 The A2000 features video processing and upscaling the picture quality of all you is jacking it would improve, but also 130 watts per channel. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Awesome! By Lasse Moen I bought this receiver on the market and Amazon links to my Klipsch Reference Series speakers ended with the Centre, Left + Right, 2 Speakers Presence, surround speakers (L + R + Back) and a subwoofer 15 ". I upgrated from an old Yamaha 5.1 receiver and added speakers front L + R. The sound is simply fantastic. I also have the iPod dock that works absolutely great with the iPod Touch purchase. But it does not work with the iPhone 4. I am always Panasonic Viera TV a few weeks and 3D with the Panasonic DVD player, I do not think it will go to the movies so often. This receiver is a great product and is built to last on-screen menu is easy to understand and very quickly to change the audio programs, etc., found 4 out of 4 people following review helpful. Excellent by C. Avery, I have not had one since my Denon receiver was stolen old ... But I am with the RX-A1000 with two Klipsch WF-35 parishioners floor, surround 2 x Klipsch WB14 Library, WC24 Klipsch center and 2x Klipsch WS24 7.1 and experience tells me that it also Tage is awesome! The sound is so clean. The features are robust. Can you say CONTROL online through the browser on the laptop and streaming FLAC? Completely lossless audio playback is so nice and the sound is incredible. Yamaha overhyped not this was overcome and high fidelity is noted in my opinion. Orgasmic sounds. I recommend it! I've never had the need to make the positive DBS generally remain at-17dB and-6dB when I really Jammin. Super strong in this series W. Klipsch
