Yamaha Continues to Improve the Breed
By E. Becker
My interest in Home Media originates from a musical background as a musician and avid listener.The RX-A3000 is my 6th Yamaha DSP A/V receiver since my first (DSP-E300) in 1990--having owned other A/V amps including the first ever Dolby Digital (AC3) compatible (Pioneer). Yamaha's major feature to me is the natural sound on all their DSP SoundFields. Most every other receiver listened to does Dolby and DTS movie surround sound decoding just fine, but if you are into listening to 2 channel music processed to sound like different venues such as The Roxy, The Bottom Line, various concert halls in Europe etc. nobody does it better than Yamaha. Other receivers have rather phony sounding processing using their proprietary chips.I think the key to the Yamaha is the original research and recording done back when they designed their first DSP unit the DSP-1 in 1986 or so. As a matter of fact, I liked the processing on my Yamaha DSP E-300 so much that I daisy chained it to later more state of the art A/V amps so that I could use it for music listening. Now with the RX-A3000 it has just about the same amount of concert venues as the E-300, plus a bunch of DSP Cinema Modes as well.Yamaha makes the optimization of your listening environment quite easy with their YPAO setup. It goes through a checklist of speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by a microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level. It also allows for what I'd call a "blended" setup whereby measurements can be taken and stored from more than one listening position so that the end result is not tailored to just one sweet spot in the room.The unit can be expanded to 11.2 channels with external amps, but an out of the box 7.2 setup is more than adequate for me (the RX-A3000 has outputs for 2 subwoofers which can be configured for Front/Rear, Front Mono, or Front Stereo).Since this is a Video as well as Audio device, it must be noted that there are no fewer than 8 (7 + 1 in front) HDMI 3D compatible inputs and 2 HDMI outs. A new OSD GUI can now overlay on HD sources, and after a little bit of practice becomes very intuitive and useful.The RX-V3000 has a new HQV Vida high-class video chipset, which has a myriad of adjustments if you want to tweak the picture (potentially more useful for SD DVD and analog video) or just let the signal pass through. I let the Yamaha upscale to 1080p, TiVo OTA/Netflix, SD DVDs, AppleTV, as well as OTA TV with stunning results. The receiver is the first piece of equipment in my eventual upgrade to full 3D, but in the interim, 2D Blu-ray, and HD DVD are an awesome experience due to its sound and state of the art circuitry.Indeed, the physical chassis has been beefed up in this series featuring a 5th foot for stability and vibration control, and H-shaped cross member frame with double bottom construction. With all its improvements Yamaha has seen fit to extend the OEM warranty from 2 to 3 years.The Yamaha iPod dock I've been using since the days of the RX-V2700 is compatible and the OSD has been improved greatly making it more of a pleasure to use compared to the old interface. The main improvement for me is the ability to scroll 10 pages at a time to find music, but it's too bad there's still no alpha/numeric search because I have over 13,000 songs.The unit can be controlled with an iPhone app, in addition to a regular web browser when the Yamaha is part of your LAN. And speaking of control, the remote is not exactly the best around with some of the more used buttons (for me) being buried under a hinged door. But if you happen to prefer a universal remote (my choice is the Logitech Harmony One), that's all moot. Yamaha is very good at disseminating their remote codes both the default and extended which have a lot of discrete ones not on the OEM remote (e.g. accessing a particular Classical Hall directly instead of toggling though the choices etc.).So if you're looking for an extremely versatile piece of equipment to be the heart and soul of your video experience, which can also bring immense musical enjoyment, I can't recommend this unit more highly.

By Jeffrey Noah
For those who want all the specifications, connection capacities and test details, see the euphoric Audioholics test report: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/receivers/rx-a3000I bought the RXA3000 for stereo playback of classical, cultural and folk music. My decision was finalized by the RXA3000 capacity to bi-amp my Martin Logan Vista ES speakers.That arrangement delivers 236 WRMS at 4 Ohms x2 = 472 WRMS and more, below 4 ohms, into each speaker. (I promise not to crank the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony.)Surprisingly, all that power appears to offer transparent clarity and an inaudible noise floor to chamber groups and soloists. On many CDs, I can hear the performer breathing.Thanks to a helpful Yamaha technician, I finally deciphered the 155 page owners' manual. The secondary, tiny 10-function remote control offers effortless operation.I would have preferred a sexy front-plate on the Leviathan.The effortless power and clear sound entrances me with musical delights.Jeffrey Noah

By M. Reynolds
This is the third Yamaha receiver I have owned and it replaces the 6.1 channel receiver which is still an awesome receiver used for over 10 years. The only reason I retired it as the main receiver is the lack of HDMI connections since that was not a standard 10 years ago. You just can't go wrong with Yamaha receivers. They sound awesome, power great speakers without the need for pre/post amps, and can run at full volume without distortion assuming you like your ears bleeding and a pounding headache that follows. This particular receiver has a unique feature which is that it shows a digital image of a forest scene when you have selected an input that nothing is connected to. While this is certainly nicer than pitch black nothingness, it can be a concern for someone who is running an LCD or plasma screen that has not been burned in yet since static images like this can cause etching on some screens. While leaving the room, I simply turned off one of the appliances that was on the current input which resulted in the static forest scene appearing but I did not expect to be on the phone call which had me leave the room for the hour and a half it took. When I came back to the living room I immediately worried that this static image may have been burned into my plasma screen but I was lucky and it did not happen. I looked through the guide and clicked through the on screen control panel to see if there is away to turn off the static image but I did not find one. Other than noting this one tiny issue, the unit has lived up to and surpassed the expectations that previous Yamaha units have afforded me. I am running two subwoofers in opposing corners of the room and 2 center channel speakers, 2 front channel, 2 front channel surround, 2 rear channel, and 2 rear channel surround speakers for a simply awesome surround sound setup when watching movies that make use of all these channels. When watching standard TV like football it uses less channels but still enough to make it feel like you are there in the action. I am completely happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who lacks a good receiver. Let's face it..sound is everything. I have a 65" 3D plasma TV and as pretty as it is, the surround sound is so much more important in terms of your overall movie watching experience that if I could only afford one purchase I would keep my old 32" analog tv and buy this Yamaha reciever. The sound immerses you in the action despite the size of your TV, but even if you have a beautiful large TV yet lack good surround sound, the experience of watching a movie is flat. Sound matters. The ability to plug in the microphone and then move it around during the setup of the receiver while it plays test patters so it can automatically configure the best sound fields for your viewing/listening environment is a definite plus for anyone who makes their living room into the entertainment room rather than having one specially built around that purpose. There are ample HDMI ports to run everything you could need, DVR, TV Receiver, XBOX 360, PS3, Blu-Ray Player, and more. The on screen display allows you to program your input selectors and other necessary items with ease and for me without reading the manual. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and expect the same long life of the other two receivers which are still in use 18 years later for the first and 11 years later for the second... what more can you ask for?
