On your marks, get set up, go! Utilising the AV setup guide app takes away any confusion while installing your new Yamaha RX-A4A. The app is designed to guide you through connectivity and cables as well as setting configurations so you can start using the AVR as soon as possible. An in-depth user manual, available to access and read online, offers an alternative source of information and guidance.
The RX-A4A comes with Yamaha’s room calibration system, known as YPAO™—a Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimiser abbreviation. At different price points, the various models within the Aventage range vary in their YPAO™ offerings. With that said, the RX-A4A features the full package with multi-point measurement, 64-bit high precision EQ. 3D, and reflected sound control (R.S.C.). Each of these features promotes a natural-sound and well-calibrated home cinema environment.
MusicCast offers a range of convenient features to the RZ-A4A. The MusicCast appallows you to control your AVR, its multiple streaming platforms, and connections in one clever and functional application. Furthermore, the RX-A4A is compatible with the MusicCast 50 or MusicCast 20 wireless streaming rear speaker for an additional dimension of sound in any home cinema configuration.
Upon downloading the latest firmware update, your RX-A4A will benefit from auto-low-latency-mode (ALLM), variable-refresh-rate (VRR), quick frame transport (QFT), and quick media switching (QMS). Such features are modern gaming essentials and contribute to heightened responsiveness, load speed, and smoother transitions.
The RX-A4A is embedded with Yamaha’s own CINEMA DPS HD3 technology. This offers 24 programmed sound-field effects with three-dimensional effects suited to different content. From the grand ambience of a concert hall in Vienna to the commentator’s box at a major sporting event, explore the possibilities of Yamaha’s surround sound.
The Yamaha RX-A4A, unlike the RX-A2A, features Surround:AI™. With this advanced sound technology, each scene of content is analysed five times every second to determine the course of its optimisation. Such thorough analysis, resulting in impeccably accurate surround sound, is like having a full-time personal sound engineer.
Scene buttons on your Aventage AVR are for saving your favourite channel/input/output settings as pre-sets for faster access. Once pre-sets are saved, they can be selected by simply selecting the appropriate SCENE button either on your remote control or on the AVR unit itself.
Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) upgrades upon its predecessor, ARC. This feature helps to enhance the 4K content streamed via HDMI 2.1 from Yamaha AVRs. eARC supports multichannel formats from Dolby and DTS to experience sound as it should be.
Find a range of popular streaming services built-in and ready to use from your RX-A4A. Platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, Napster, Pandora, TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz, and SiriusXM are available and will keep your music and playlists synchronised across other devices. Control where music plays in different rooms of your home with MusicCast.
