        9. HDMI

        Sony STR-DH790 comes with 4 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

        Yamaha RX-A2000 comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs which work parallelly and output the same signal.

        • 4K/60Hz Passthrough on Sony STR-DH790: All inputs pass up to 4K/60p (YCbCr4:4:4) video signal.
          1080/60p Passthrough on Yamaha RX-A2000: All inputs pass up to 1080p video signal.
        • 1080p Upscaling on Yamaha RX-A2000: It can upscale up to 1080p * from HDMI and analog sources.
        • Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Yamaha RX-A2000 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 Sony STR-DH790 only).
        • HDCP 2.2 Copy Protection: Sony STR-DH790 is 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)

        Sony STR-DH790 supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

        Yamaha RX-A2000 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)

        Sony STR-DH790 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 Yamaha RX-A2000 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-A2000 and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
        • Analog Pre-Outs: Yamaha RX-A2000 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. Also, both receivers have 7 channel processing but have only 7 channel amplifiers, so they need external amplifiers connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach their maximum speaker configurations.
        • Analog Line Inputs and Outputs: There are 4 pair of line inputs on Sony STR-DH790 and 9 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A2000 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 1 pair of line outputs on Yamaha RX-A2000.
        • Digital Inputs: 1 optical input and 1 coaxial input are available on Sony STR-DH790 and 4 optical inputs, 1 optical output and 3 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A2000 for digital audio connections.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
