This device is getting extremely warm, it should be provided with sufficient ventilation. Rega rding the sound, there will hardly be another surround amplifier that comes close to this device due to its completely symmetrical signal processing. Other models of the same series: This device was an independent development by Yamaha, without having resorted to the amplifier design of previous AV amplifiers. It should be understood as a response to the Denon line AVC A1 SE/SR/SRA, which set the standards in terms of performance and build quality between 2000 and 2003. From the amplifier design, the DSP A 1000/3090 / A1/AX1/AZ1 and Z11 are to be viewed in a row, the Z9 drops out (for more see the link below). The amplifier was developed by Mr. Izumi Ozeki and Mr. Hirochika Maegaki from Yamaha and is now considered a milestone for Yamaha in its 125-year history (2012).

Separate Pure Direct for 7.1 External switchable(green LED lights up), this allows you to use the signals of an AV preamp without being converted a second time. Measurement of the max. 7.1 Signals are then sent via the preamplifier.
without Pure Direct, the analog signals from the 7.1 input are digitized and pass through the DSP section, including the digital input. Runtime correction and subwoofer management
A separate stereo input for pure analog audio, is switched via Pure Direct(blue LED lights up)
