Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by David Brown Hear how good home theater can sound with AVENTAGE Don't underestimate the importance of killer sound in your home theater. Yamaha doesn't — that's why they designed their AVENTAGE receivers. The RX-A1030 combines sophisticated construction with easy-to-use features, so you can get the most from your music and movies. With audiophile-grade components, flexible multi-zone setup, and loads of connections, the 'A1030 can breathe new life into your home theater speakers. Powerful multi-room capabilities If you have a second HDTV and an extra set of speakers, then the 'A1030 has the power and flexibility to feed audio and video to two rooms at once. With connections for up to 9 speakers in total, plus 2 subwoofers, you can have a 7.2-channel home theater in one room and a stereo system in the other — both powered by this versatile receiver. Yamaha's Intelligent Amp Assign makes switching between zones a breeze. As soon as you power on Zone 2, the 'A1030 automatically redirects the signal from your "surround back" speakers in the main zone to the Zone 2 speakers. So you can still enjoy enveloping 5.2-channel surround sound in your main room while listening to a different song in Zone 2. Or fire up Party Mode to send the same signal to all speakers so both rooms are bouncing to the same beat. For video, a dedicated HDMI output for a second room means you can send video from your Blu-ray player in Zone 1 directly to your TV in Zone 2. That means you can play different movies from different sources in both zones at the same time. Designed with your ears in mind Yamaha goes the extra mile for excellent sound in its AVENTAGE receivers. The RX-A1030 uses an audiophile-grade ESS SABRE digital-to-analog converter, which decodes the latest high-resolution audio formats with accuracy and detail. Your digital sources like Blu-ray discs and lossless music files will sparkle with definition and life in stereo and surround sound. Independent power supplies for analog and digital circuitry help prevent interference between the two, for purer audio signals. And the symmetrical power amp layout isolates the circuitry for the left and right channels, for a high signal-to-noise ratio and a wide soundstage for stereo music listening. The free Yamaha A/V Controller app gives you easy touchscreen control over the RX-A1030 with your smartphone or tablet. Apple AirPlay and other streaming music options When you connect the 'A1030 to your home network, you'll open up a whole world of digital music. With built-in support for Apple AirPlay, you can send music from your iPhone®, iPad®, or computer running iTunes® directly to your receiver for playback. If you subscribe to Spotify® or Rhapsody®, you'll enjoy built-in support for their huge music libraries as well. Plus you can stream music from Pandora® or tap into thousands of free radio stations worldwide via vTuner. Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer helps give MP3s and other digital music more depth and detail. AirPlay requires a wireless home network and a wired connection between the receiver and network or a wireless connection using the optional Yamaha Wi-Fi adapter. A sight for sore eyes If it's been a while since you last bought a receiver, then the 'A1030's setup and control features will be a welcome improvement. The on-screen guide is full-color with lots of graphics for easy navigation — a far cry from the bare-bones black-and-white menu screens of just a few years ago. Plus, the free Yamaha A/V Controller app provides sophisticated touchscreen control over a wide range of functions from your Apple® smartphone or tablet, Kindle Fire™, or other Android™ device. 4K, 3D, and MHL®-ready The RX-A1030 is prepared to take on the latest and greatest digital sources. The front-panel HDMI input is MHL-compatible. That means you can connect your MHL-compatible Android tablet or smartphone to send music and HD video through your receiver for playback on your home theater system. Plus, the 'A1030 supports 3D and 4K pass-through, so it can handle today's 3D Blu-ray players and as well as upcoming Ultra HD content as it arrives.

I have a Yamaha RX v1200 that has been a wonderful receiver and this Yamaha RX a1030 is much the same with more features. I have a CD player/recorder, cassette player/recorder, turntable, VCR, a PC and a second receiver (zone 2) connected and all work well. I also connected a Wi Fi receiver and can listen to Sirius, Pandora and etc. I am very pleased. Pros: lots of options and good sound with adequate power. Cons: usually lose my Wi Fi connection when I turn the unit off so I have to unplug and replug Wi Fi receiver to connect again. Was this review helpful? Yes No Yamaha always comes through Written By Stan, Utah on Friday, June 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my third Yamaha amp - my other two are still in service (18 and 10 years after purchase), and this one seems every bit as good. Sound is clear and full from my 7.1 setup. I like the SCENE feature as a quick way of turning everything on and setting the right parameters and inputs. The amp runs cooler than I expected, which is also a plus. The remote is nothing special, but the on-screen user-interface is easy to follow and responsive. The HDMI video processing works well. Pros: Excellent sound. The sweet spot of price, options & power. Lots of input flexibility. Cons: Remote design could be better. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No works great Written By Brad M., Pea Ridge, AR on Sunday, June 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Still haven't worked with all the features but love what I've been using so far. Pros: Sleak looking and lots of settings to choose from. Cons: Had a little trouble making sure speakers were connected properly in back. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect Fit Written By AndrewG, Whitinsville, MA on Wednesday, April 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'll start with a bit about the set-up. I am running a 7.2 channel set-up using the Jamo S606-HCS3 5.0 Speaker set, with a Yamaha SW-315 Subwoofer. Also running 2 x Accurian AMP-5052 as Front Presence, and the second sub is an Accurian ASW-5060. This unit replaced a Yamaha RXV-667 receiver. The 667 was a bit underpowered for the set up which eventually caused it to overheat. The A1030 is barely even warm to the touch when running at the same volumes. Hooked everything up, made sure the correct speaker setting were selected, set the subwoofer cross over at 110HZ, and eventually decided to increase the dialogue lift, and level by 1 point each. Otherwise I made no adjustments to the equalizer and I am very satisfied with the sound quality. Still tweaking the subs a bit as I play around with various audio and video sources. I love the app to control the unit. Allows streaming from Pandora without having the TV on (unless you want to create a station), and gives the majority of the controls you should need after initial set up. Makes streaming music from the phone a breeze. The app does work through the network so unless you have access to the network it will not function. On that note I had zero issues connecting to my network. Pros: -Set up was a Breeze -On-Screen Interface (Takes a bit to familiarize yourself but same as my previous Yamaha Receiver) -Easy to use App -Plenty of Power -Sleek Design -Good Build Quality Cons: -No built in cooling fan for when the unit is pushed at higher volumes. Again it runs very cool but I installed a couple of 80mm fans on top that kick on at 84 degrees...Just in case. -Takes over network when I stream from pandora. Phones still connect ok, but my TV is unable to load it's internet options. Not an issue as typically I am using one or the other. -Neighbors might not like you much after purchasing! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent HTR Written By Marcos, Houston on Thursday, March 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Always been a Pioneer HTR fan, I have to say that I'm changed for life after buying this Yamaha HTR. The construction is well thought out, it feels hefty and rigid, and the power amp stands out when you look inside. My music, movies have come alive, there is more clarity and detail compared to what I had. The Yamaha control app works great but the AIRPLAY tends to cut out a lot. Awesome product, worth every penny. Pros: Construction, Sound quality, power, Yamaha App, control layout. Cons: "Airplay" option will cut off regularly, this is very annoying. Remote control looks and feels cheap. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Happy Written By AlanJ, La Plata MD on Thursday, February 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I agree with other reviewers about the manual, it would be better in print than on disk. I am otherwise very pleased, but still learning how to use. The great thing is the 2 zone capabilities with separate source and volume controls. I had a hard time figuring out how to turn on the zone 2 speakers initially(party mode does this). Plenty of power. Remote could have larger print and keys. Built in Pandora and Sirius XM very cool. Air Play instructions were not up to date, I had to slide control screen up on Ipad and Iphone to reveal Icon Pros: None found yet, Maybe the price Cons: As stated in review 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Itt's generally great, but screws up my network Written By JohnPrtl, Tega Cay, SC on Sunday, February 23, 2014 I've wanted to buy a RX-10xx since it was an A1000 a few years ago. I finally got one. It sounds great, appears to have fine build quality, has good features and processing choices, and the ability to turn the processing off, pretty much everything I wanted. But currently It has a serious flaw. Its network connectivity was a big part of why I bought this instead of a lower priced receiver. The iPhone and iPad apps are great; I use them instead of the remote to control it. BUT, it appears to panic on my network. I use a DirecTV DVR and a network enabled DirecTV network receiver to use their whole-house video. It works fine until I plug in the A1030, then the whole-house thing fails completely, even if I'm not using any network functions on the A1030. So, my wonderful network machine is plugged in and plugged out depending on what programming I want. I'm sure this is a firmware upgradeable problem. I home they fix it soon. I am NOT satisfied with this receiver. I think a minor firmware update would fix it. Pros: Good build quality, sound, features. Clean and strong, up-dateable firmware. Cons: It panics on my network! Networking is a big reason of why i bought it. It screws up my DirecTV. I'd give it a five except for this. I'm hoping for a firmware update. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Yamaha RX-A1030 Love it. Written By Brian, Snohomish, WA on Thursday, October 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an amazing receiver. I have the main zone hooked up to my Bose 6.1 surround and it is nothing short of blowing the room apart. I use the zone 2 to drive my Cerwin Vega Dx-7's and it will rock the house as well as my neighbors houses as well... Well worth the cost just does everything I ask of it extremely well Pros: User interface, music quality, horsepower to give you a real theater experience.. Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pass Thru Issues Written By George R, Hauppauge, NY on Sunday, October 06, 2013 Love all the features of the unit but cannot get the video pass thru to work properly. Pros: Love the seamless zone 2 audio feature along with the great I Pad app to control unit remotely. Cons: Wished the DAC was a little sharper but plays well. Cannot get the video pass thru to operate correctly without it cutting out. Have contacted Crutchfield , Yamaha and my cable tv provider but I cannot get this resolved. It seems that one truly knows about this or doesn't understand the issue. The two main reasons that I selected this unit (along with help from Crutchfield ) was for the zone two audio operation and the video pass thru function. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No replaced onkyo tx709 Written By williabr78, lagrange, Ga on Sunday, September 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding sound. EQ is cumbersome. Pros: Plenty of power Wide away of settings Versatility in speaker arrangements Cons: EQ is hard to set 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Decent receiver Written By JRB_VT, Vermont on Monday, August 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The equalizer control is somewhat difficult, but satisfactory (but I wish I could simply copy the setting from one speaker to another) ... it takes some time to get the curve the same. I wish there was (maybe there is) to have multiple user settings for the equalizer that I could switch between with one click. I can get the TV mode to sound great, but I can not get my CD music to sound as great. I wish the owner manual came with the unit in paper format. Cons: after switching from one HDMI source to another, the "sound setting" changes. I wish I could just "lock it in" (e.g. always have to on the 7.1 setting). I also wish it had the equivalent of a "loudness" function. At low volume levels the bass needs boosting which is difficult to do, so I give up. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great AV Receiver Written By koglerrh, Enon, Ohio on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set up and connect to home theater devices. This unit is heavy and large. It feels substantial. Sound is great and HDMI switching is flawless. Have noticed that the subwoofer doesn't come on as often as it did we my previous Sony receiver; but, I haven't found out why yet. Crutchfield support helped, but as far as they could tell, the RX-A1030 was working as designed. While I don't need it right now, having WiFi and Bluetooth built in would be nice and eliminate the need for and additional cost of a Yamaha adapter. The next updated version of the RX-A1030 will probably have them built in. I connected the unit to my router in another room via an ethernet connection, but haven't been able to verify that it works yet. My Mac wifi/router software doesn't seem to show the RX-A1030 anywhere, so I have my doubts. But for standard audio/video from DVDs, CDs, Blue Ray and even streamed over Apple TV, I'm more than happy with the RX-A1030. Pros: Outstanding sound. Easy installation and setup. Easy automatic speaker calibration. One of few AV receivers in this price range on market with Phono In for turntable (yes, some of us still listen to legacy vinyl occasionally) and Digital Audio Out (Optical or coax) to drive wireless headset base unit/transmitter. Took about an hour from opening the box to watching DirecTV, most of that time connecting the speaker and component wires. Cons: Doesn't activate the subwoofer as expected; therefore, deep bass is often missing when you think it should be there. Haven't verified successful internet connection for firmware updates and airplay. Full user manual is only on CD, so if you're like me, expect to print it out to make it more convenient to use. As with most modern electronics, there are so many possible options and combinations of settings that it's almost impossible to know if you're getting the best possible system performance. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best of all worlds Written By RLH, Blackfoot, Idaho on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a very capable piece of equipment. I am particularly impress with how many digital units can be managed (7 HDMI inputs). Equally impressive is the ability to manage my legacy equipment,; like my CLD-D704 Pioneer ( AC-3 Multi-input) Laserdisc. Great with a Home Media Center (Windows 7 PC) as well. Great picture and great sound. Pros: The number of HDMI inputs and ability to handle legacy equipment Cons: I haven't found any. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No RX-A1030 Written By BLOOMFIELD, QUEENS, NY on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) ONE OF THE BEST RECEIVERS I HAVE EVER OWNED, LOVE THE NETWORK FEATURES AND THE FACT THAT I WAS ABLE TO HOOKED IT UP SO EFFORTLESS, LOTS OF POWER, ENOUGH TO DRIVE A 7.1 SET OF SPEAKERS TO MAKE MYWIFE QUARREL WITH ME ABOUT THE SOUND LEVEL GOING THRU THE ROOF AND DISTURBING MY NEIGHBOURS. A VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER SYSTEM FOR THE MODERN HOME , HAVE ALL THE FEATURES I WANT AND SOME NORE.

Pros: NETWORK CAPABLE, AND IT WORKS AS STATED, THE SUB ROUTINES AND SETTINGS FANTASTIC, I AM STILL PLAYING WITH THEM,LOTS OF POWER ON ALL CHANNELS, INTUITIVE DISPLAY. THE ANDROID APP WORKED AS STATED OVERALL WELL PUT TOGETHER AND PERFORMANCE Cons: THE NETWORK ADAPTER WAS A LITTLE FINIKY, KEEP DROPPING THE CONNECTION, HAD IT REPLACED AND WALLA. IT WORKED 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Decent receier Written By ChuckN, Plano, TX on Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) 1. Sound quality has improved comparing to my old Sony STR 2100ES. Bass is tighter. 2. Amp assignment is very restricted to only 4 modes. I have two amps for the two front channels and that is not part the assignments. 3. App would drop connection constantly. Very frustrating 4. I like the fact it decodes DSD signals from an SACD player with HDMI 1.4 output. 5. DAC is not the best. I wind up using my Dennon CD player's DAC with RCA analog output, which sounds much better. 6. The video seems to have improved a bit over that direct from of the Sony DVD player, if you set the video to "processing". 7. Overall, it is a step up from where I was with old receiver. 8. If I had a better budget, I would have gone with the A3030 for sure. Pros: I still like it. It is still a good upgrade Cons: DAC needs improvement 5 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

By expertly harmonizing traditional and advanced technologies, every factor that affects sound quality, from materials & parts construction to circuitry layout, vibration damping, and "fine-tuning" the sound, is handled with no other thought than to achieve the best possible audio quality. As a result, every Aventage receiver has the ability to reproduce the most subtle details of high-definition sound, so that listeners can enjoy a truly high-class sound studio experience at home. High Drive Amp Technology: A fully discrete power amplifier helps maximize sound and minimize distortion of the receiver. The Yamaha RX-A1030 AV Receiver is equipped with a 7-channel amplifier rated at 110 watts (into 8-ohms, at 20-20kHz, with 0.06% THD, driving 2 channels) which provides high dynamic power with low-impedance drive capability. Symmetrical Power Amplifier Layout: The interior of the unit has been precisely planned, circuit-routed and built so that the left & right channels are physically and electrically isolated. This naturally maximizes channel separation, but also greatly improves signal to noise ratio and helps to achieve a wide, open sound stage. Professional Quality DACs: The Yamaha RX-A1030 uses ESS Sabre Premier 192kHz/24-bit DACs (ES9006) for all channels to produce professional quality digital audio with exceptionally good signal-to-noise ratio and up to 120dB of dynamic range. The AV receiver also utilizes low-jitter PLL circuitry to help optimize sound imaging. The result is a more dynamic sound with greater detail and less distortion. Aluminum Front Panel: The aluminum front panel is used to effectively shield sensitive circuitry from external noise and electronic energy generated by dimmer switches, fluorescent lighting, video monitors and so on. This ensures optimum sonic performance in the widest range of installation environments. A.R.T.: The A.R.T. (Anti-Resonance Technology) Wedge 5th foot is in the center of the unit. It dampens vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers. A.R.T. Wedge 5th foot helps ensure that vibrations do not affect the sound quality. The AV receiver also employs anti-vibration heatsinks to suppress vibration from transistors and sound pressure. Double Bottom Construction: An additional bottom cover is added for additional support and to improve sound performance at higher volume levels and also support the power transformer and heat sinks. Independent Power Supplies: Independent power supplies are used for the receiver's analog and digital circuitry to prevent digital noise from affecting analog circuitry. These power supplies are highly efficient and result in less power consumption in standby mode. Intelligent Amplifier Assignment: Intelligent Amp Assignment automatically assigns amplifier channels of the Yamaha AV receiver to certain speakers depending on what functions are selected. You can select from a variety of amplifier configurations. Basic: In this configuration, up to nine speakers (Front L/R, Front Presence L/R, Center, Surround L/R, & Surround Back L/R) can be connected to the AV receiver. When Cinema DSP 3D is on, the two Front Presence speakers will be powered and not the two surround back speakers. When Cinema DSP 3D is off, this situation is reversed. Bi-amp and Zone 2 speakers are not available in this mode 7ch + Zone 2: In this configuration, up to nine speakers (Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R, and Zone 2) can be connected to the AV receiver. When Zone 2 is off, all seven channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to the two surround back channels will be directed to the two speakers in Zone 2 and the Main Zone will receive five channels of power. The same or different analog input sources/volume settings can be applied to both zones. Multichannel sources are mixed down to 2-channels and output to Zone 2. Bi-amp and Front Presence speakers are not available in this mode. 5ch Bi-Amp: Up to five speakers (Front L/R, Center, & Surround L/R) can be connected to the AV receiver. The Surround Back amplifier channels of the AV receiver are reassigned to bi-amp the front speakers. A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for one speaker. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the combined midrange and tweeter section. With this arrangement each amplifier operates over a limited frequency range, making its job easier. Zone 2, Surround Back, and Front Presence speakers are not available in this mode. 5ch Bi-amp+SB: The receiver powers five speakers in the main room (Front L/R, Center, and Surround L/R) with the surround back amplifier channels used to bi-amp the front speakers. Using the receiver's multichannel preamp outputs, the surround back speakers are powered by an external amp. Zone 2 and Front Presence speakers are not available in this mode. YPAO R.S.C. (Reflect Sound Control): YPAO-R.S.C. analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds. Yamaha's YPAO-R.S.C. system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters; such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers, and even the volume level; until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room. Using the supplied Optimizer Microphone, YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system: Speaker Wiring: Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of each. Speaker Size: Checks the frequency response of each speaker and sets the appropriate crossover frequency for each channel. Speaker Distance: Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the delay of each channel. EQ: Each channel has a parametric equalizer; choose one of three target settings before running the setup. Natural: adjusts all speaker to a natural sound; useful when the flat setting sounds too bright Flat: use when all the speakers in the system have similar sound characteristics Front: EQs the center and rear speakers to sound like the front; useful when your front speakers are better than the others in the system Volume Level: Checks and adjusts the volume level of each speaker. Note: You can also choose to manually adjust the AV receiver's speaker settings. Multi-Channel Decoding Formats: The Yamaha RX-A1030 supports the following multi-channel (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic) decoding formats. Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD DTS: DTS, DTS-ES, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS Express, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo: 6 Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your audio source is connected to the A/V receiver via a digital audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI. Surround Parameters: The Yamaha AV receiver offers the following Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS NEO:6 audio adjustments. Dolby Pro Logic II Settings: You can adjust the following parameters in Pro Logic II Music modes: Panorama: sends stereo signals to the surround speakers as well as the front speakers for a wraparound effect Dimension: adjusts the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear of the room Center Width: moves the center channel output completely towards the center speaker or towards the front left and right speakers Center Image (DTS NEO: 6 Music): This parameter adjusts the front left and right channel output relative to the center channel to make the center channel more or less dominant as necessary. Cinema DSP Soundfields: Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha Cinema DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent soundfields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate soundfields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater. The AV receiver offers 17 Cinema DSP programs for movies, music, and games. Movie Soundfields: Standard, Spectacle, Sci-Fi, Adventure, Drama, Mono Movie Entertainment Soundfields: Sports, Action Game, Role Playing Game, Music Video Music Soundfields: Hall Munich, Hall in Vienna, Chamber, Cellar club, The Roxy Theater, The Bottom Line, 7ch Stereo Note: You can change the receiver's Cinema DSP effect level (level of the soundfield effect to be added). You can adjust the level of the soundfield effect from -6 dB to +3 dB. CINEMA DSP Parameters: You can adjust the following parameters of the Cinema DSP modes. DSP Level: You can change the receiver's CINEMA DSP effect level (level of the soundfield effect to be added). You can adjust the level of the soundfield effect from -6 dB to +3 dB. Delay: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the presence soundfield (1-99ms), surround soundfield (1-49ms), and surround back soundfield (1-49ms). Room Size: Adjusts the broadening effect (0.1-2.0) of the presence soundfield, surround soundfield, and the surround back sound field. Liveness: Adjusts the loss (0-10) of the presence soundfield, surround back soundfield, and surround back soundfield. Reverb: Adjusts the delay time of the rear reverberant sound (1.0-5.0s), the delay between the direct sound and rear reverberant sound (0-250ms), and the volume of the reverberant sound (0-100%). Cinema DSP Modes: The Yamaha RX-A1030 AV receiver offers proprietary Yamaha Cinema modes so you can enjoy your movies and music even more in your home; regardless if you are using Presence Speakers, only have a two-channel speaker system, or listening through headphones. Cinema DSP 3D: The actually measured soundfield data in recorded soundtracks contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of theses sound images so that it can create the accurate and intensive stereoscopic soundfield in your listening room. Cinema DSP 3D does this by using the receiver's Presence (height) Speakers or the Virtual Presence Speaker mode. Virtual Cinema DSP: Virtual Cinema DSP is an algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP soundfield surround effects while using a minimal two-speaker system. Virtual Cinema DSP lets you enjoy the effects of Cinema DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in custom installations where some rooms don't have surround speakers). It can be used with the front/center/presence speakers or even with just the two front left and right speakers. This unit will switch to virtual Cinema DSP mode automatically when surround speakers are unavailable. Silent Cinema: Silent Cinema makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. This is a variation of Cinema DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. HiFi Sound Modes: The Yamaha RX-A1030 offers two HiFi audio modes which bypass the receiver's tone & DSP processing for higher sound quality performance. These HiFi sound modes lets you play back input sources without any soundfield effect processing. When either of theses modes are enabled, each speaker produces its own channel audio signal (without soundfield processing). When playing back 2-channle sources, such as a CD player, stereo sound is heard from the front speakers. When playing back multichannel sources, the receiver produces unprocessed multichannel surround sound. Straight: 2-channel stereo sources are output from only the front left and right speakers, while multi-channel sources are decoded straight into the appropriate channels without any additional tone or DSP processing. Pure Direct: Turns off the surround and tone circuitry, dims the front-panel display, and cancels AV output to allow sources to bypass the decoders and DSP processors of this unit so you can enjoy pure hi-fi sound from 2-channel or multi-channel sources. During Direct playback no sound is output from the subwoofer Compressed Music Enhancer: Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3, WMA, and AAC. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible. Dialogue Lift & Level Adjustment: Dialogue Lift raises the sound of dialogue from the center speaker to a position in the center of the screen. Newly developed virtual dialogue lift achieves dialogue lift function even without the need for presence speakers. Dialogue Level Adjustment lets you control the volume of the vocal sound, so you hear movie dialogue and music vocals at the ideal level for clear, comfortable listening. Dynamic Range Control: The Yamaha RX-A1030 employs two Dynamic Range Control functions. Adaptive DRC: Adaptive DRC automatically adjusts the dynamic range of the sound according to the volume level. This ensures that you hear clear dialog, vocals, and all sound effects at comfortable levels. There is no need to adjust the volume level as you listen; everything from whispers to big explosions will be heard clearly and comfortably at the same volume setting. It also tones down loud TV commercials and is ideal for low-volume, late-night listening when you do not want to disturb others. Dynamic Range: The amount of dynamic range compression applied to bitstream signals is adjustable; Min/Auto is suitable for low volume listening, Standard is typical for home use, and Max doesn't compress the dynamic range at all. Bass Management: The Yamaha RX-A1030 AV receiver provides the following Bass Management settings. Bass & Treble: You can adjust the balance of the high-frequency range (Treble) and low-frequency range (Bass) of sounds output from the receiver' front left and right speakers to obtain a desired tone. You can independently adjust the bass (50Hz) and treble (20kHz) from -6dB to +6dB in 0.5 dB increments. The tone control of the speakers or headphones can be set separately. Extra Bass: You can select whether to play front channel low-frequencies through either of the front speaker or the subwoofer, or through both the subwoofer and front speakers. Subwoofer Trim: The Subwoofer Trim control enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is "pushed" toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound. Volume Setup: The Yamaha RX-A1030 allows you to customize the receiver's volume levels. Max Volume Adjustment: Use this feature to set the receiver's maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the volume too loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from -30 dB to +15 dB in 5 dB steps, or to +16.5 dB (full volume range is -80 dB to +16.5 dB). Initial Volume Setting: Use this feature to set the volume level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Off (same as the volume when the unit was turned off), Mute, and -80 dB to + 16.5 dB in increments of 0.5 dB. Volume Trim: Use this feature to adjust the volume level of each input. This is useful to balance the level of each input to avoid sudden changes in volume when switching between input sources. The range is from -6 dB to +6 dB in 0.5 dB increments. Audio Inputs/Outputs: The Yamaha RX-A1030 offers a variety of analog and digital audio inputs/outputs. Digital Inputs: The Yamaha AV receiver is equipped with four optical digital inputs (3 rear/1 front), three coaxial digital inputs (rear), and one optical digital output (rear).

Multi-Source/Multi-Zone: The Yamaha RX-A1030 offers Audio/Video Zone 2 (with HDMI switching) and Party Mode (audio only) for playback of a variety audio/video sources in two separate rooms of your home. Zone 2 Audio: The receiver has dedicated stereo RCA outputs for Zone 2, or the built-in amplifier can be configured to power speakers in the second zone connected to the Extra Speaker terminals, allowing you to listen to different audio sources in two different rooms of your home. By using the RCA outputs on the AV receiver you can connect an external receiver or integrated amplifier in a second room, allowing you to listen to 7.1ch surround in the main room and play a different stereo audio source in another room of your home. By using the speaker-level outputs on the AV receiver you can directly connect a secondary pair of speakers in another room of your home, allowing you to listen to 5.1 surround sound in your main room and play a different stereo audio source in the other room. When the receiver is powering speakers in Zone 2, the surround back/front height speakers in the main room are turned off (limiting you to 5.1ch in the main room). The volume of Zone 2 can be controlled by the Yamaha receiver using either configuration or from your add-on amplifier when using the line-output. You can select the following audio sources for Zone 2: Analog audio inputs AM/FM Tuner (you cannot select different AM/FM radio stations for each zone) USB (including iPod/iPhone) AirPlay for iPod touch/iPhone/iPad/iTunes Internet Radio (different network sources cannot be played back in multiple zones at the same time) DLNA/Media Player contents Zone 2 Video: The Yamaha receiver's composite, S-video, component, and second HDMI monitor can be assigned to Zone 2 so two different video feeds can be sent to two different displays at the same time directly from the receiver (you must connect the same video connection to your second display monitor as connected to your receiver for that particular source; there is no video-conversion or scaling for Zone 2). HDMI Zone 2 will also output audio signals (2ch only) for the HDMI input source selected. Party Mode: The Party Mode allows you to enjoy the AV receiver's Main Zone audio source in Zone 2, simultaneously (regardless of input audio signal types - analog or digital). During the party mode, stereo playback is automatically selected for all zones. Both the Main Zone & Zone 2 play at the same volume level during Party mode.

Okay... So I've made a garden memorial in the shape of a German Shepherd that will allow my wife and I to engrave the names/dates of our GSD's onto it. That said, we'd like to color wash it and then clear coat it, so that it withstands the test of time.
I've confirmed the technique that I would like to use is color washing, however, I don't know how to go about doing it ... So anyone on here know how the process is done?

Thanks overkill... I'm not certain that the process for walls is the same as the process for metal. Here is a link to some wall art that has a color wash http://www.leaningtreelanding.com/tsmnamewaart.html
The problem becomes a case of who is really describing what. There are no laws for people to use real words or term or should I say misuse them. The link to the tree wall hanging if you read it it says that it is a powered coating. which would eliminate any kind of painting or patina coatings. Other then the use of transparent or semi- transparent colors over a base coat color and the covered by clear!
Years of sign painting, decorative painting, stage/set painting and props. I can say there is no magic paint for your project or clear coating that will last more than a couple of years or about half of what the manufactures can will say.
Mother nature and your local air quality are harsh mistresses. And real don't give a **** what the can says.
You can do a real good job on the prepping of the piece and do a good job of applying the coating, waiting for it to dry the correct time between coats and then clear with a high grade clear.
You may want to check out sculptnouveau hot metal applied rainbow patina
The color wash process is a layered paint process that will achieve a look like washed out blue jeans. fade spotty looking, thick and thin look as described if you google color wash. you should be able to hit any big box store and check out one of their hand outs or any of the books they sell.
Simplest form is base coat color over laid by another color glazes and work out across the area you are covering.
If you just want the same style of look as the tree wall hanging, Pick a metallic rattle can base coat, that will give good depth of color to the colors you want to use as a top coat. pick transparent or semi- transparent colors, rattle can or bottles paint the items. Make sure the humidity isn't high and follow the drying times the maximum time between re-coatings, then follow up with a couple coats of clear following the instructions. Again low humidity and proper drying times. Don't forget to do the edges.
But there is no such thing as a color wash for metal, other than as advertising hype to set the products apart and sell some more.

Thanks so much for the reponse; this is exactly what I was looking for. I spent hours researching how to do the color wash technique to no avail. I think the Petina's or the rattle can action will be the way we go. The other option we looked at was to do a heat treatment for it, so the petina process is very similar to that.

I've been doing musical instrument repairs to help our local schools and many of the older brass instruments have been color washed on the inside of the bells with a gold color but the remainder of the instrument is usually silver or nickle plated. This was common on early marching instruments up to the late 60's
Being that your artform is outside and exposed to the elements, I believe it will take a bit more than a common rattle can paint to achieve the look and longevity that I assume you are looking for. I believe it will take a 2-component paint product similar to an automotive refinish with a UV inhibitor to maintain the durability.
I have seen some custom car finish effects where the bare metals have been cleared over with tints to achieve various effects. You might want to contact DuPont Automotive Refinishes, (Specifically Hot Hues Division), or House of Kolor to inquire what they would recommend.

It's that time of year again when many Nashville celebrities suit up and brush off their serving skills for a worthy cause.
Waiting for Wishes, a celebrity waiters dinner hosted by Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts and former Titan and ESPNU analyst Kevin Carter, is set for Tuesday, April 2, at The Palm.
Other celebrities who have signed on to participate this year include John Rich, Darius Rucker, Kix Brooks, Jana Kramer, NFL Hall of Famer Richard Dent and actor Charles Esten, who plays Deacon on ABC's show "Nashville." During the event, the celebrities will take over The Palm as servers.
In addition to the main dinner, an after party "Jam with Jay DeMarcus & Friends" has been added at Honky Tonk Central (329 Broadway) for dinner patrons and additional guests who did not attend the event.
The evening will benefit The Kevin Carter Foundation and The Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee. Since its inception in 2002, Waiting for Wishes has raised more than $1.4 million for charity.
Tickets to the dinner are $500 per person and can be purchased by calling Paige Dixon at The Palm at 742-3193. Admission to the after party is $85 and sold separately at www.waitingforwishes.com.

4...Kf5! is a really nice example of using the opposition to gain a tempo to queen first
Fantastic, I was thinking 3... e5? Seeing that I could promote first and control the h8 square in time. But that obviously fails since white can just come and stop the pawn with his king, totally forgot that option haha.
Thankyou Powerlevel_9001 for taking the time to submit such a lovely endgame problem.
I don't see what is wrong with Kd7 Kf6 e5. It seems that if white goes for the g6/h5 pawns he is a tempo short, and if he takes on e5, then black gets opposition with ...Ke7.
According to a tablebase the line you suggest ozzie leads to a draw, unlike the winning line of the puzzle.
In other words, I should go look it up. :-)
OK, black has the opposition, but it is not valuable enough to force the win of the h-pawn. And black trading the h4 pawn for the g6 pawn gives an easy draw for white.
What's really interesting is that if you move all the pawns one square to the right, then pushing the pawn is the only way to win.
(with all pieces one to the right) 1.Kd5 Kc7 2.Ke6 d5! is the only way to win, confirmed with tablebase.
Thanks Ozzie and Powerlevel. Variation http://www.chess.com/tactics/server?id=357517
Arf I tried first g5 but missed that after Kd7 Kf6 Ke8 white has g6 followed by Kg5 which draws

Investing in children's social care services: Support for our most vulnerable children
Protecting the most vulnerable members of our community is a key priority for Hampshire County Council. This is why we have invested an additional £2.5 million to further enhance our frontline children's social care services over the next two years. This large-scale investment will help to ensure that the most vulnerable children in Hampshire are kept safe and are well supported.
We have made this investment to meet the needs of the increasing numbers of children who are requiring protection and who are coming into our care. Hampshire has around 1,000 children on Child Protection Plans and 1,100 children in care. In addition to this, more young people are also qualifying for support after leaving care, and the costs involved with looking after children with complex disabilities are rising. These pressures are not unique to Hampshire – they are being experienced by local authorities across the country.
As part of our investment, we are enhancing our existing social care services by recruiting 70 new frontline child protection social workers and support staff. The support staff will manage the administration which will free up social workers so they have more time to work directly with children and families.
We are also developing a multi-agency safeguarding hub based at our main frontline contact centre in Fareham which will include Police and health staff. The Hub will enable all agencies to share information easily and effectively to provide faster, co-ordinated and consistent responses to concerns raised about vulnerable children.
We are also piloting a project in Basingstoke to redesign social care services to improve outcomes for children and families. Following the Government's national review of children's social care, we will focus on supporting families as early as possible to prevent them from getting into difficulties. Social workers will spend less time on administration and more time working with children, young people and their families. If the pilot project is successful, it will be rolled out across Hampshire.
Reporting concerns about a child
Safeguarding children is everyone's responsibility and you also have a role to play in it.
If you are concerned about a child or young person, you should report it to Hampshire County Council on 0845 603 5620 during office hours (8.30 to 5.00 Monday to Thursday and 8.30 to 4.30 on a Friday). At all other times, contact the out of hours service on 0845 600 4555. If you believe that a child is at immediate risk, call 999 and report your concerns to the police.

It could be the contacts on the switches are corroded some after sitting so long. With the engine shut off, try moving each switch thru the full range Several times each, 8 or 9 times at least maybe more. This may knock off some of the corrosion and make contact so it can work again. I've had this happen before on welders left outside for extended periods, and this method worked for me. Won't hurt to give it a try.
