        7. Speaker Configurations

        Integra DRX-7.1's and Yamaha RX-A2040's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

        • Dolby Atmos Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for Dolby Atmos:
        • Integra DRX-7.1: 5.2.2, 5.2.4, 7.2.2 with internal amplifier and 7.2.4 with addition of external 2 channel amplifier.
        • Yamaha RX-A2040: 5.2.2, 5.2.4, 7.2.2 with internal amplifier.
        • DTS:X Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for DTS:X:
        • Integra DRX-7.1: The speaker configurations for DTS:X are the same as for Dolby Atmos - 5.2.2, 5.2.4, 7.2.2 with internal amplifier and 7.2.4 with addition of external 2 channel amplifier.
        • Yamaha RX-A2040: Not supported.
        • Configurations without height channels: There are also other speaker configurations available which do not include height channels:
        • Integra DRX-7.1: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.
        • Yamaha RX-A2040: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.

        9. HDMI

        Integra DRX-7.1 comes with 7 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs - 1 Main and 1 Sub/Zone2.

        Yamaha RX-A2040 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-A2040: It can upscale up to 4K/60p (YCbCr 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 Integra DRX-7.1 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)

        Integra DRX-7.1 supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

        Yamaha RX-A2040 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)

        Integra DRX-7.1 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.

        10. Inputs and Outputs

        Audio

        • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Integra DRX-7.1 and Yamaha RX-A2040 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-A2040 and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
        • Analog Pre-Outs: Integra DRX-7.1 has 11.2 and Yamaha RX-A2040 has 7.2 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, Integra DRX-7.1 has 11 channel processing but has only 9 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 6 pair of line inputs on Integra DRX-7.1 and 9 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A2040 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 1 pair of line outputs on Yamaha RX-A2040.
        • Digital Inputs: 3 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Integra DRX-7.1 and 3 optical inputs, 1 optical output and 3 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A2040 for digital audio connections.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
