This model will be HDMI 2.0 compatible. It supports pass-through of 4K Ultra HD signals at 50 Hz/60 Hz to deliver smooth, high-definition images. It also supports RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0 video signals for stunningly realistic images.
A.R.T. (Anti-Resonance Technology) is a fifth foot placed at the center of the device. It absorbs vibrations emitted by the transformer, power transistors, and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that may be caused by the sound from the speakers.
The built-in Wi-Fi function allows you to establish a wireless connection to your router or box, greatly simplifying the connection of the system to the network and the use of various audio streaming services. If no Wi-Fi router is available, the Wireless Direct function will allow you not only to stream your music directly from your smartphone or tablet via AirPlay or MusicPlay, but also to control your amplifier using the AV Controller app.
This amplifier offers a range of network functions that facilitate its use and provide access to additional sources. You can connect the amplifier to a computer to listen to web radios, Spotify, Pandora, and control your system via Web Browser Control. The AV Controller app (available on the iTunes AppStore and Android Market) allows you to control various functions of the amplifier from an iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone/tablet.
MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) allows you to connect a compatible mobile device to the AV amplifier to play 1080p video content while enjoying 7.1 multi-channel surround sound. During playback, the connected device will be charged by the amplifier. Basic control operations such as Play & Stop can be sent from the remote control.
In just a few minutes, YPAO calibration automatically adjusts numerous parameters to provide optimal sound based on the listening room. This system uses Reflected Sound Control technology to correct the negative effects of sound refraction, creating a studio-quality audio environment without specific acoustic treatment of your room. It also allows you to adapt the various DSP modes, including CINEMA DSP, to the acoustic properties of the room.
For installations with space constraints, Yamaha’s Virtual CINEMA DSP technology allows you to enjoy a stunning virtual surround sound field using only front speakers in the listening area. This exclusive Yamaha technology relies on the use of two surround speakers and a center speaker placed at the front to create a high-resolution 7-channel* surround sound field with incredible virtual reproduction of the rear channels. By adding two front presence speakers, it is even possible to create a 3-dimensional sound space with vertical movement effects.

Very good reproduction of the sound atmospheres, however I can no longer use AirPlay for my iPhone since I changed my internet box.
