      6. Amplifier

      Yamaha RX-A820 Onkyo TX-NR626

      7 channel Amplifier: Yamaha RX-A820 features 7 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 100 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven) and is able to drive 4 ohm speakers.

      7 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-NR626 features 7 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 95 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven).
      • WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Onkyo TX-NR626 features Onkyo’s Wide Range Amp Technology (WRAT) circuit layout that prevents phase shifting by pushing the roll-off point higher than the listening-level frequency. Amplifying sound without phase shift creates an uncommonly well-focused and realistic audio image. If phase shift occurs and signal timing is not accurate, then neither is the resulting audio image.

      7. Speaker Configurations

      Yamaha RX-A820's and Onkyo TX-NR626's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

      • Configurations: Available configurations are:
      • Yamaha RX-A820: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.
      • Onkyo TX-NR626: 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

      Yamaha RX-A820 comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs which work parallelly and output the same signal.

      Onkyo TX-NR626 comes with 6 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs which work parallelly and output the same signal.

      • 4K/30Hz Passthrough: On both receivers all inputs pass up to 4K video signal.
      • 4K Upscaling: Both receivers can upscale up to 4K 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.
      • 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.

      9. Inputs and Outputs

      Audio

      • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Yamaha RX-A820 and Onkyo TX-NR626 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
      • Analog Pre-Outs: Yamaha RX-A820 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 5 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A820 and 6 pair of line inputs on Onkyo TX-NR626 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 2 pair of line outputs on Yamaha RX-A820.
      • Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A820 and 1 optical input and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Onkyo TX-NR626 for digital audio connections.
      • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
