characteristics. Beneath this base is the
bottom of power amplifier, part of the
heavy chassis which is also designed
for maximum vibration damping.

Wide-Range Frequency Response for
DVD-Audio and SACD

With an extremely wide frequency range
of 10 to 100,000Hz, this receiver is
capable of delivering the full potential of
the new digital audio sources DVD-
Audio and SACD.

Optimum Space Utilization

The use of highly integrated LSIs allows
an interior design that maximizes power
and sound quality by positioning all the
digital processors and related circuitry
in one small area. This leaves most of
the space open for the power amplifier
components: transformers, capacitors,
heat sink and so on. This means that
these parts can be much larger than
usual for greater power, that they can
be separated for minimum chance of
interference, and that circuits can be

arranged in straight lines for maximum
signal purity. For example, the tone
control circuit layout is straighter and
shorter than ever.

Finest Parts Used Throughout

In order to realize the goals of massive
power and superlative sound quality,
Yamaha technicians completely re-
evaluated all the parts used in previous
receivers. As a result, many were
replaced with more expensive or
custom-designed units.

Extra-Large Custom-Made Block
Electrolytic Capacitors

Developed specifically for the RX-V440,
the 10,000µF block electrolytic
capacitors use low-magnification foil
and are exceptionally high quality.

Direct Signal Path Speaker Relays
with Gold-Plated Crossover
Connection and Shielding 

Speaker switching is accomplished by
relays right in front of the speaker

terminals, rather than at the switch
position. This results in a shorter signal
path and minimum output impedance.

High Performance Myca Capacitors
and Film Capacitors 

At this level of sound quality, even these
small parts make a difference. The high
precision FE mica and metallic mylar
film capacitors use polypropylene
material and are the highest
performance types on the market.

Extra-Large Low-Impedance
Transformer

The large 4.2 kg low-impedance
transformer is an important factor in the
RX-V440’s extremely stable power
supply.

Thick PC Board Wiring with 1.6mm

φ

Copper Jumper Cables

The audio signal is routed within the
amplifier through exceptionally thick,
top quality wire, ensuring that signal
purity is maintained.
