7. Speaker Configurations

Denon AVR-X1100W's and Yamaha RX-A3030's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

Configurations: Available configurations are:

Denon AVR-X1100W: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.

Yamaha RX-A3030: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.

2-ch Bi-Amp: Both models are 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-X1100W comes with 6 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

Yamaha RX-A3030 comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs - 1 for MAIN and 1 for Sub/Zone2/ZONE4.

4K/60Hz Passthrough: On both receivers all inputs pass up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
4K Upscaling on Yamaha RX-A3030: It can upscale up to 4K/60p (YCbCr 4:2:0) from HDMI and analog sources.
Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Yamaha RX-A3030 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.
HDCP 2.2 Copy Protection: Both receivers are HDCP 2.2 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.
3D Ready: Both receivers are able to pass 3D video through HDMI.

Gaming Features

Denon AVR-X1100W 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 Yamaha RX-A3030 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-A3030 and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
Analog Pre-Outs: Yamaha RX-A3030 has 11.2 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. Also, Yamaha RX-A3030 has 11 channel processing but has only 7 channel amplifier, so it needs external amplifier connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach its maximum speaker configuration.
Analog Line Inputs and Outputs: There are 2 pair of line inputs on Denon AVR-X1100W and 9 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A3030 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 1 pair of line outputs on Yamaha RX-A3030.
Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs are available on Denon AVR-X1100W and 4 optical inputs, 1 optical output and 3 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A3030 for digital audio connections.
Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
