        6. Speaker Configurations

        Yamaha RX-A1030's and Yamaha RX-A1020's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

        • Configurations: Available configurations are:
        • Yamaha RX-A1030: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.
        • Yamaha RX-A1020: 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. Inputs and Outputs

        Audio

        • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Yamaha RX-A1030 and Yamaha RX-A1020 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-A1030 and Yamaha RX-A1020 and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
        • Analog Pre-Outs: Yamaha RX-A1030 and Yamaha RX-A1020 have 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, 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 9 pair of line inputs on both receivers for connecting sources with analog outputs. There are also 1 pair of line outputs on the receivers.
        • Digital Inputs and Outputs: 4 optical inputs, 1 optical output and 3 coaxial inputs are available for digital audio connections on both receivers.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
