Anti-Resonance Technology (A.R.T.): The Anti-Resonance Technology Wedge is a 5th foot in the center of the unit which dampens vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers

4K Pass-Through and Upscaling: The HDMI input/output supports 4K video image pass-through. It can also perform 4K upscaling to boost a lower resolution image to super high-def resolution. This ensures compatibility with the latest super high resolution video formats

Edge Adaptive Deinterlacing: In ordinary deinterlacing, pixels in areas of movement are interpolated by upper and lower ranges, which causes jaggies in diagonal lines. Edge adaptive deinterlacing detects the direction of the line and interpolates the pixels optimally

HDMI With 3D and Audio Return Channel: This receiver is able to handle 3D data. The Audio Return Channel function enables data to be sent and received via the same HDMI cable, so you can hear the sound from the TV via a single HDMI cable, with no need for an extra optical cable

Network Functions: A variety of network functions allow you to access more sources and enhance operation of the RX-A720. You can connect the receiver to a PC to enjoy Internet radio and operate your system via WebBrowser Control. The AV Controller App (from iTunes App Store or Google Play) lets you control power on/off and volume, select input and DSP modes and operate other functions from an iPod, iPhone, iPad or Android phone. A tablet version is also available

AirPlay for Streaming Music to AV Receiver: With support for AirPlay, this receiver can accept wireless music streaming from an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, as well as from iTunes on Macs or PCs. This makes it easy to enjoy music from your mobile devices or computer on your home theater system. You can view metadata like song title, artist name, and album art using the receiver's on-screen display

USB Digital Connection for iPod, iPhone and iPad on Front Panel: The front-panel USB port allows convenient connection of an iPod/iPhone/iPad, which also charges when connected. Because the digital signal from your Apple device is transmitted directly to the AV receiver, there is no signal loss or interference, so you enjoy the best possible sound quality/ In addition, you can use the receiver's remote control unit to operate the music playback functions on your device

Versatile Zone Control

Zone 2 on/off and control on front panel
Zone sleep and system sleep
Remote input/output
Programmable +12V trigger output

Input Selection in HDMI Standby Through Mode: When the AV receiver is in HDMI standby mode, the input source (Blu-ray disc player, gaming console etc) for viewing on the monitor can be changed via the remote control. There's no need to turn on the AV receiver in order to switch sources

HDMI CEC for Easy Operation: Another benefit of HDMI is the availability of CEC functionality. When the unit is connected to a CEC compatible TV, it will turn on and off together with the TV and you can use the TV remote to control the volume. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components. For example, you can use the receiver's remote unit to control player functions like skip and stop

HDMI Front Panel Input: In addition to the 5 HDMI inputs on the rear panel, there is one on the front panel so you can easily connect a digital camera or camcorder for high-quality pictures

Advanced Multi-Language GUI On-Screen Display: Features a high resolution display with clear, easy to use menus and also includes a selectable status bar that show input source, volume level, DSP mode and audio format/ The GUI offers a choice of seven languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese can be displayed over 2D or 3D pictures

SCENE for One-Touch Start: Pressing a SCENE buttons powers on the AV receiver and selects the input source and DSP mode. You can reset the buttons for different sources by selecting a source and DSP mode, then pressing a SCENE button for more than three seconds

YPAO R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimization: YPAO R.S.C. analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds

Subwoofer Trim for Improved Sound Imaging: Enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This allows for a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is pushed toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim takes care of this by separating the lower subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced, enhanced bass sound

Compressed Music Enhancer: When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should

Dialogue Lift and Dialogue Level Adjustment: Dialogue Lift raises the sound of dialogue from the center speaker to a position in the center of the screen. Dialogue lift achieves dialogue lift function even without the need for presence speakers. Dialogue Level Adjustment lets you control the volume of the vocal sound, so you hear movie dialogue and music vocals at the ideal level for clear, comfortable listening

HD Audio With CINEMA DSP and Virtual Presence Speaker: CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD Audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence Speaker delivers 3-dimensional sound without actual use of presence speaker

Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control): Adaptive DRC automatically adjusts the dynamic range of the sound according to the volume level. This ensures that you hear clear dialogue and vocals, and all sound effects at comfortable levels. You won't need to adjust the level of volume as you listen; everything from whispers to big explosions will be heard clearly and comfortably at the same volume setting. It also tones down loud TV commercials, and is ideal for low-volume, late-night listening when you don't want to disturb others

Green Features: Yamaha's ECO mode reduces power consumption by about 20%. It can be set from the top of the GUI menu. Auto Power Down lets you save energy by selecting to turn off the power after 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours. Additionally, this receiver has a low power draw in standby mode -- 0.1 watt in IR standby mode, 3 watts in HDMI Standby Through mode, and 2 watts in Network Standby mode

Intelligent Amp Assign: This feature automatically assigns amplifier channels to certain speakers, depending on what functions are selected. For example, in a 7.1-channel system when zone 2 is off, all 7.1 channels will be used in the main zone. When zone 2 is on, power to the two surround back channels will be directed to the two speakers in zone 2 and the main zone will receive 5.1 channels of power. Similarly, when CINEMA DSP 3D is on, the two front presence speakers will be powered and not the two surround back speakers. When CINEMA DSP 3D is off, the situation is reversed -- this way you don't have to switch the speaker cables on the rear of the speaker

Aluminum Front Panel: All AVENTAGE components feature a uniform sleek, clean design with an elegant aluminum front panel and silky touch volume/selector knobs. The aluminum front panel is used to effectively shield sensitive circuitry from external noise and electronic radiation generated by dimmer switches, fluorescent lighting, video monitors and so on. This ensures optimum sonic performance in the widest range of installation environments
