The three aspects of the program were technology, engineering and artistic sensitivity. Technology refers to the technologies that enable us to create the level of sound quality suitable for total audio enjoyment in the present digital audio era. Engineering refers to upgrading functions and specifications, which are the foundation of the overall quality. And of equal or perhaps even greater importance is artistic sensitivity, which is how we go beyond the specifications to create, tune and refine the sound based on the musical acuteness of our most experienced audio technicians. The result is that the RX-Z11 achieves an unprecedented level of audio performance. Sound that is not only clear and high resolution, but finely textured. Able, for example, to realistically convey the sound of light rain, rustling cloth or breaking glass. Surround sound that is not only spacious but has a sense of magnificence. Sound that is not only well localized, but sharply focused in every area of the immense CINEMA DSP HD3 sound field. And finally, sound with an optimum balance among the three key elements of resonance, deep bass and responsiveness, for best compatibility with all types of sources. 11.2-Channel High Density Surround Sound (140W x 7 + 50W x 4) The RX-Z11 delivers 140W x 7 channels plus 50W to the four presence and rear presence channels. It also allows the simultaneous use of two subwoofers (hence 11.2 channels). In addition to Yamaha’s latest CINEMA DSP HD3 technology for high density, incredibly detailed surround sound, it provides extensive zone customization functions, enabling the 11 amp channels to be allocated to zones 2, 3 and 4 in various configurations.

To achieve the quality demanded by the latest lossless compression formats received via HDMI bitstream transmission, circuit board designs were radically revised and parts selection was reevaluated. The RX-Z11’s superior parts include Burr-Brown DSD1796 DACs, an op amp, custom-made 27,000µF block capacitors and Schottky barrier diodes. A Variable Volume Control helps provide the best possible S/N ratio. High Current Amplification circuitry achieves high current power with low impedance for superior amplifier performance. Super Stable Chassis Design The internal chassis design uses an ultra-rigid Rahmen structure, which is a series of H-shaped frames. This rectangular structure secures and isolates the parts sections, while reducing vibration to a negligible amount. The external chassis walls are thick (5/8”) and heavy. High efficiency heat sinks H-shape frames to hold heavy and big power transformer Low-Jitter PLL and Digital Clock Circuits The preamplifier stage incorporates both a lowjitter PLL circuit and a VCXO digital clock circuit, significantly reducing jitter from digital inputs so sound processing can be accomplished without being affected by jitter. This is particularly effective in improving the sound quality of digital signals that are input via HDMI.

High Sound Quality: Power Amplifier Stage All Channel Current Feedback Circuit The power amplifier uses current rather than voltage for feedback in all channels. Because there is virtually no phase shift, phase compensation can be kept to a minimum. This contributes to the RX-Z11’s excellent transient response, Current allows Feedback frequency Frequency response Response/ to remain Principle unchanged Current even when the Adder Output nput gain changes, I/V Converter and creates a Buffer Power Amplifier Trans-Impedance Amplifier Stage Amplifier warmer, Current Feedback texture-rich Circuit sound. Gain (dB) Unprecedented Audio Performance NEW PRODUCT BULLETIN Frequency (Hz) 5/8” super stable chassis Rahmen structure (series of rectangle frames) High Sound Quality: Preamplifier Stage New Pure Direct Concept For the RX-Z11, Yamaha has upgraded its popular Pure Direct feature. It now provides higher sound quality from lossless audio formats digitally transmitted via HDMI, while still ensuring optimum quality from CD and analog audio sources. It allows the enjoyment of twochannel CD output, multi-channel Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio output, and even Blu-ray, HD-DVD and other HD sources. Pure Ground DAC Concept The DACs, vital determinants of digital audio quality, are placed on the analog circuit board, preventing the large ground potential differences that can occur when the digital and analog sections are far apart. Furthermore, the DACs are connected directly to the power supply to avoid degradation of low level signals. Preamplifier Circuit Board This helps to maximize both two-channel and multi-channel audio performance. High Quality Preamplifier Block Design The printed circuit boards are located very close to each other. This has the advantages of minimizing signal paths, shortening signal loops and improving noise isolation from other circuits. 2/4 Hybrid Low Noise Power Supply A highly efficient DCDC converter and extra-large transformer is used for the digital circuit, which requires high current input, and a low noise power supply circuit for the analog audio circuit. An independent current power path is provided for the speaker relays Digital power circuit board (top) and display. and analog power board (bottom) Symmetrical Layout and New Power Circuit Layout The heavy power transformer (over 22lbs!) is in the center with the heat sinks on either side to ensure equal weight distribution. The power circuit layout separates the video and digital audio section from the analog audio section to eliminate adverse influences, and distances between circuits and power supplies were shortened to avoid high current loop problems. Thick Aluminum Panels and Large, Heavy Feet Thick aluminum panels are used throughout to prevent vibration and maintain high performance audio reproduction. The large, heavy feet also serve to dampen Ultra rigid feet and large twin-fan external vibrations. (3-5/8”) cooling system RX-Z11BL 11.2-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver High Picture Quality HDMI 1.3a Compatibility The RX-Z11 is compatible with the newest version of the HDMI standard, 1.3a, providing the benefits of Deep Color (30/36bit) and the xvYCC color standard. Digital video and audio signals can be transmitted via a single HDMI cable and it accepts the lossless audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio. There are five HDMI inputs, one of which is on the front panel, as well as two HDMI outputs that allow images to be simultaneously displayed from two devices, such as a flat panel monitor and a projector. HDMI 1.3a means the RX-Z11 can handle the high 1080p/24Hz resolution Digital video circuit board (top) and analog video board of Blu-ray Discs, and (bottom) also provides an Auto Lip-Sync function that automatically adjusts the lag between video and audio and a double speed Refresh Rate of 120Hz. HDMI Input HDMI Output FPGA (Field Programable Gate Array) Video Decoder ADV7802 Analog Video Input GUI YGV619 that are input via analog video to 1080p; it can also downscale these signals to 480p, allowing the audio signal suited to the monitor to be output vertically without restriction. Digital signals input from HDMI can be similarly up and downscaled, so optimum images can be selected from the HD output from Blu-ray Disc players or HD-DVD players. It also performs high precision processing with two engines: a high performance i/p converter with 10bit processing capability and a Scaler made by Anchor Bay Technologies. Advanced Features Network Receiver Capabilities Like other Yamaha network receivers, the RX-Z11 can be connected to a PC or Yamaha MCX-2000, and can access Internet Radio via a LAN. It supports the LAN standby mode, allowing an external controller to send commands via an ethernet link. Two USB ports are provided, on the front and rear, with 500mA power support. It is compatible with PlaysForSure devices, Windows Vista, Yamaha Music CAST and various audio Codecs such as MP3, WMA, WAV and MPEG4 AAC.

One reason is that HDMI 1.3a uses a new color standard called xvYCC, which supports 1.8 times as many colors as previous HDTV signals. This expanded range of colors means that HDTVs can display images with colors that are far more natural and vivid than ever before. Analog and HDMI Video Upscaling to Full HD 1080p The RX-Z11 permits enjoyment of full HD video created by upscaling signals up to 1080i/720p HDMI Video Upscaling (both analog and digital inputs) [ Input ] [ Output ] 1080p 1080p Upscaling 720p 720p i/p Conversion (=Deinterlacing) 1080i 1080i 480p 480p 480i 480i Downscaling Through Full HD Signals HD Signals ED Signals iPod YDS-10 (Option dock) Advanced YPAO Sound Optimization Auto Setup Yamaha’s YPAO Sound Optimization system analyzes the room acoustics and various system factors, then makes adjustments to provide optimum sound quality. In addition to the previous adjustments for speaker size, distance and wiring, plus equalization and level, this Advanced YPAO has four new capabilities. The first is measurement at multiple locations (up to eight). It does not average the results but performs analysis weighted in accordance with the state of each location to calculate compensation values. This results in a larger “sweet spot” at the listening position. The second is the use of parametric equalization to cancel the effects of standing waves, which degrade bass response. The third is speaker angle measurements to optimize CINEMA DSP effects. And the fourth is an Easy Starter feature that activates YPAO when the microphone is inserted and the Enter button is pressed, with information shown on the display. 38 Programs Compatible Decoder Straight Dolby Digital Dolby Digital EX Dolby Digital Plus Dolby Digital TrueHD DTS Digital Surround DTS 96/24 DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 DTS-HD High Resolution Audio DTS-HD Master Audio Dolby Pro Logic Dolby Pro Logic II Music Dolby Pro Logic II Movie Dolby Pro Logic II Game Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game DTS Neo:6 Music DTS Neo:6 Cinema Neural-THX Circle Surround II Music Circle Surround II Cinema HiFi DSP Programs 20 Hall in Munich A Hall in Munich B Hall in Frankfurt CLASSICAL1 Hall in Stuttgart Hall in Vienna Hall in Amsterdam Hall in USA A Hall in USA B Chamber CLASSICAL2 Church in Tokyo Church in Freiburg Church in Royaumont Village Gate Village Vanguard The Bottom Line LIVE/CLUB Cellar Club The Roxy Theatre Warehouse Loft Arena STEREO 11 Channel Stereo CINEMA DSP Programs 13 MOVIE ENTERTAINMENT DSP Program Total THX Programs THX SD Signals Surround Program Total Standard Spectacle Sci-Fi Adventure Drama Mono Movie Sports Music Video Recital/Opera Pavilion Disco Action Game Roleplaying Game 33 5 Ultra2 Cinema Cinema Surround EX Music Game 38 YDS-10 Universal Dock for iPod The optional YDS-10 Universal Dock lets you connect your iPod to the receiver.
