8. Immersive Audio Formats

Dolby Atmos

Denon AVR-X3200W and Yamaha RX-A3050 support Dolby Atmos.

Dolby Surround Upmixer: Both models support Dolby Surround Upmixer. If the content is not mixed in Dolby Atmos then the Dolby surround upmixer will expand the audio to all channels including ceiling speakers. The upmixer has replaced the Dolby Pro Logic II family with improved upmixing algorithms.

DTS:X

Denon AVR-X3200W and Yamaha RX-A3050 support DTS:X.

DTS Neural:X: Both models feature DTS Neural:X which is an advanced upmixer that can take non DTS:X content and upmix it to the DTS:X speaker layout. It has replaced the DTS Neo family with improved flexibility.
DTS Dialog Control: Denon AVR-X3200W supports DTS Dialog Control. This function adjusts the dialog levels during playback of the DTS:X stream. It allows you to separately increase the dialog levels in contrast with the background sound and hear dialog easily even under noisy circumstances.

9. HDMI

Denon AVR-X3200W comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs - 1 for MAIN and 1 for ZONE2.

Yamaha RX-A3050 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: Both receivers can upscale up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 from HDMI and analog sources.
Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Both receivers support 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-X3200W only).
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.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

Denon AVR-X3200W supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

Yamaha RX-A3050 supports HDR10 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.

Gaming Features

Denon AVR-X3200W supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for lag-free and smooth gaming.

10. Inputs and Outputs

Audio

Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Yamaha RX-A3050 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
Analog Pre-Outs: Denon AVR-X3200W has 7.2 and Yamaha RX-A3050 has 11.2 preamplifier outputs which allow you to connect the receivers to the external power amplifiers. 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-A3050 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: There are 5 pair of line inputs on Denon AVR-X3200W and 8 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A3050 for connecting sources with analog outputs.
Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Denon AVR-X3200W and 3 optical inputs and 3 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A3050 for digital audio connections.
Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
