        7. Speaker Configurations

        Sony STR-DH790's and Yamaha RX-V4A's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

        • Dolby Atmos Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for Dolby Atmos:
        • Sony STR-DH790: 5.2.2 with internal amplifier.
        • Yamaha RX-V4A: Not supported.
        • DTS:X Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for DTS:X:
        • Sony STR-DH790: The speaker configurations for DTS:X are the same as for Dolby Atmos - 5.2.2 with internal amplifier.
        • Yamaha RX-V4A: Not supported.
        • Configurations without height channels: There are also other speaker configurations available which do not include height channels:
        • Sony STR-DH790: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.
        • Yamaha RX-V4A: 5.2 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. Immersive Audio Formats

        Dolby Atmos

        Sony STR-DH790 supports Dolby Atmos.

        • Dolby Surround Upmixer: Sony STR-DH790 supports 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

        Sony STR-DH790 supports DTS:X.

        • DTS Neural:X: Sony STR-DH790 supports 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.

        9. HDMI

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

        Yamaha RX-V4A comes with 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs with 8K support. It has 1 output.

        • 4K/60Hz Passthrough on Sony STR-DH790: All inputs pass up to 4K/60p (YCbCr4:4:4) video signal.
          8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz Passthrough on Yamaha RX-V4A: All inputs pass up to 8K 50/60Hz and 4K 100/120Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
        • 4K Upscaling on Yamaha RX-V4A: It can upscale up to 4K 60p 4:4:4 from HDMI sources.
        • 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 both models).
        • HDCP Copy Protection: Sony STR-DH790 is HDCP 2.2 and Yamaha RX-V4A is HDCP 2.3 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.
        • Quick Media Switching (QMS): With HDMI 2.1a, Quick Media Switching for movies and video uses the HDMI VRR mechanism to eliminate the blackout period when an HDMI Source device switches its video mode. As long as the resolution remains the same and only the frame rate changes, QMS will instantly switch between frame rates. QMS eliminates A/V blackouts by using VRR technology to change frame rates, allowing instant changes from 24Hz to 60Hz frame rate, and anywhere in-between. The viewer never sees blank screens and gets a seamless experience (available on Yamaha RX-V4A only).
        • 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-V4A supports HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma. 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 and Yamaha RX-V4A support 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

        Yamaha RX-V4A supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Quick Frame Transport (QFT) for lag-free and smooth gaming.
