7. Speaker Configurations

Denon AVR-S650H's and Yamaha RX-A1010's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

Configurations: Available configurations are:

Denon AVR-S650H: 5.2 with internal amplifier.

Yamaha RX-A1010: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.

Bi-Amp: Yamaha RX-A1010 is able to bi-amp up to 2 main channels simultaneously. During bi-amplification two amplifiers are used for one speaker. One amplifier powers the midrange and tweeter section of the speaker and another amplifier powers the low frequency woofers. Each amplifier is less loaded and performs better. In order to use this feature speakers must have 2 pairs of connectors.

8. HDMI

Denon AVR-S650H comes with 5 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

Yamaha RX-A1010 comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs which work parallelly and output the same signal.

4K/60Hz Passthrough on Denon AVR-S650H: All inputs pass up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
1080/60p Passthrough on Yamaha RX-A1010: All inputs pass up to 1080p video signal.
1080p Upscaling on Yamaha RX-A1010: It can upscale up to 1080p * from HDMI and analog sources.
Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Yamaha RX-A1010 supports analog to HDMI Upconversion, so you can input your analog video sources and output them digitally via HDMI. This means that you will need only one HDMI cable to connect to your TV.
BT.2020 Color Space: BT.2020 or Rec. 2020 is a color standard which delivers a wider color gamut compared to Rec. 709. It covers approximately 75% of the total visual spectrum while the Rec. 709 covers only 35% (available on Denon AVR-S650H only).
HDCP 2.3 Copy Protection: Denon AVR-S650H is HDCP 2.3 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.
3D Ready: Both receivers are able to pass 3D video through HDMI.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

Denon AVR-S650H supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

Yamaha RX-A1010 does not support HDR. High dynamic range video has greater dynamic range than standard dynamic range (SDR) video with brighter whites and deeper blacks. The result is greater contrast and more details in dark and bright areas, better color and depth.

Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC)

Denon AVR-S650H supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) which allows the compatible TV to send audio signal to the a/v receiver through the same HDMI cable which is used to send audio and video signals to the TV. So one HDMI cable is used to transfer audio signal in both directions. New Enhanced ARC will support uncompressed audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio whereas the previous ARC could support only Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS HD, and PCM.

Gaming Features

Denon AVR-S650H supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for lag-free and smooth gaming.

9. Inputs and Outputs

Audio

Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Denon AVR-S650H and Yamaha RX-A1010 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
7.1 Multichannel Input: In case you have a high quality Blu-Ray or a DVD player with multichannel analog outputs you may connect it to a 7.1 multichannel analog inputs of Yamaha RX-A1010 and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
Analog Pre-Outs: Yamaha RX-A1010 has 7.2 preamplifier outputs which allows you to connect the receiver to the external power amplifier. You may want to use a high quality external amplifier for certain channels, usually for front L/R and center, and use the receiver to power the rest.
Analog Line Inputs and Outputs: There are 2 pair of line inputs on Denon AVR-S650H and 9 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A1010 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 1 pair of line outputs on Yamaha RX-A1010.
Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs are available on Denon AVR-S650H and 4 optical inputs, 1 optical output and 3 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A1010 for digital audio connections.
Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
