Designed on the A-S2000
The new range of Yamaha stereo receivers are designed as descendants of the famous A-S2000. An aluminium front panel, silky touch volume/selector knobs and Yamaha's strong commitment to quality craftsmanship are just some of the benefits from this range.
Balanced Signal Path
An unbalanced interface is subject to common-mode voltage noise, so Yamaha uses a balanced system to receive the iPod signal. This makes a significant contribution to reducing noise in the system for higher sound quality.
A and B Speakers
Yamaha's integrated amplifiers all have speaker A & B option which allows music sources to be played in two difference areas of the house, adding versatility to these accomplished amplifiers.
iPod Dock ready with independent power supply
With Yamaha's optional iPod dock you can easily enjoy your mobile music collection through the best system in the house and you can even charge your iPod while you listen. When your iPod is operating or charging it is more susceptible to interfere with audio quality during playback. To minimise this, Yamaha have included a dedicated power supply just for the iPod. This will ensure premium audio from an iPod or iPhone. Yamaha’s YBA-10 Bluetooth dock can receive audio streamed from your A2DP enabled phone, laptop or media player.
AM / FM Tuner
All Yamaha stereo receivers incorporate AM / FM tuning with 40 station preset memory. To ensure complete ease of use stations are easily changeable using the included remote control.
Pure Direct
Pure Direct uses the shortest possible signal route for higher quality sound purity with minimal electrical noise and transmission losses. This function is ideal for listening to CDs.
Zone2
This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone2). You can control this unit from the second zone using the supplied remote control.
ToP-ART
When processing and transmission of the audio signal is simple and direct there is less chance of it being affected by noise and distortion. Yamaha's amplifier design technology called ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) features I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with left and right channels organised in a straight, symmetrical layout for highest signal purity.
Auto PowerOff
Auto Power Off (Power Management) automatically turns off the power after a certain amount of time to save energy.
