ToP-ART
(Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology)
When processing and transmission of the audio signal
is simple and direct there is less chance of it being
affected by noise and distortion. Yamaha’s amplifier
design technology called ToP-ART features I/O (input
to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with left and
right channels organised in a straight, symmetrical
layout for highest signal purity.
Linear Damping
This circuit cancels the effect of level variations,
maintaining a high, stable damping factor, for superior
articulation of all sounds and better frequency
response.
CD/DVD Direct Amplification Circuit
Engaged by a front panel switch, it matches CD/DVD
signal levels so each stage produces less noise,
resulting in improved S/N ratio and maintenance of
the amp’s total gain balance.
High Dynamic Power
Yamaha amplifiers are capable of delivering large
amounts of reserve power for accurate reproduction
of high energy peaks. This emphasises the music’s
dynamic qualities and provides a sharper sound image.
Enjoy Uninterrupted Music
Yamaha CD changers give you the benefits of
extended playing time and direct selection from all
discs. And with PlayXchange, you can change discs
while the current one continues to play. You don’t
have to interrupt the music to change a disc and
you’re not limited to changing only one disc at a time.
