Expanding on the highly acclaimed Yamaha DSP-Z11, Yamaha introduces another benchmark: the DSP-Z7, a 7.1-channel Network AV Receiver. The Yamaha DSP-Z7 receiver provides an enormous range of exciting multimedia features, extensive custom installation capabilities, video adjustment features and cutting edge technologies. The DSP-Z7 performance provides great enjoyment for the home theatre experience.

The Yamaha DSP-Z7 features the latest Yamaha YPAO system which uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the 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, etc. Until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room and you don’t have to do anything! The Yamaha DSP-Z7 7.1-channel Network AV Receiver has an improved system that is faster (less than three minutes), also adjusts frequency response, and provides three programmed EQ patterns, plus the ability to manually adjust parametric EQ settings. Six YPAO settings can be held in memory and recalled via two system memory buttons on the remote control.

As well as all the benefits of next generation sound formats, with the Yamaha DSP-Z7 you also get Yamaha’s ‘Cinema DSP digital’. Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced; actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects from ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theatre! The decoding circuitry performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES (DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1), DTS Neo: 6 and DTS 96/24 decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as all digital sound field processing.

There are five HDMI inputs, one of which is on the front panel, as well as two HDMI outputs that allow images to be displayed on two devices, such as a flat panel monitor and a projector. HDMI 1.3a means the Yamaha DSP-Z7 can handle the high 1080p/24Hz resolution of Blu-ray Discs, and also provides an Auto Lip-Sync function that automatically adjusts the lag between video and audio and a double speed Refresh Rate of 100Hz/120Hz. The Yamaha DSP-Z7 7.1-channel Network AV Receiver is compatible with the newest version of the HDMI standard, 1.3a, providing the benefits of Deep Colour (30/36bit) and the xvYCC colour 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.
