This receiver lets users enjoy the best possible and newest surround sound from Blu-ray Disc players and HD-DVD players. It supports the two lossy formats: Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD High Resolution, as well as the lossless formats: Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART concept combines the latest and best technologies, parts and circuit designs to maximize sound quality. An interior layout completely isolates the digital, analogue and video sections and provides the shortest possible signal routes. Top quality parts include Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs and 192kHz/24-bit DAC, a lownoise discrete power supply, custom-made 12,000μF block capacitors, lowjitter PLL circuitry, and a large, archshapedcheat sink. Heavyduty top and bottom chassis provide greater rigidity for vibration damping. High Current Amplification circuitry achieves high current power with low impedance for superior amplifier performance.
