High-quality video processing

From low-quality digital video to BD (Blu-ray disc) images, any content can be played back as a high-quality image (p.119).

•High-performance I/P conversion, high-performance scaling•Powerful noise reduction•Resolution enhancement adds more detail

The RX-A3020 can also apply fine touches such as noise reduction and resolution enhancement.

Support for bi-amp connections and external power amp expansion

To obtain even high audio quality, you can connect front speakers that support power amp expansion, or expand your system by adding an external power amp (such as a Hi-Fi amp).

For details, refer to “Advanced speaker configuration” (p.24).The best expandability in YamahaBy connecting an external power amp,

you can enjoy the highest peak of CINEMA DSP - an 11.2-channel 3-dimensional sound field.
