The new R-2000
receiver goes beyond ordinary stereo to re-create the full depth, presence and
excitement of actually being at a live performance. It's the top of the line of
our new R-Series receivers; each designed to bring you pure, accurate musical
reproduction. Sound to please the most discriminating audiophile- and features
to please the most sophisticated music lover.
X-Amplifier
for more power and cleaner sound.
The R-2000 with our
new X-Amplifier is more efficient and more faithful to music than any receiver
we've ever built. The circuit design evolved from the nature of music itself.
We discovered that true musical crescendos, which require full amplifier power,
occur only about 2% of the time. Conventional amplifier designs operate at full
power all of the time in anticipation of those loud musical passages. The remaining 98% of the time, full power isn't
required. That means conventional designs waste electricity and produce huge
amounts of heat - which shortens component life.
The new Yamaha
X-Amplifier works at low power most of the time. A unique comparator circuit
switches the amplifier to high power when a lound passage is detected and back
to low power when the peak has passed.
As a result, the amp
runs significantly cooler than conventional designs, which measurably increases
component life. And the X-Amplifier of the new R-2000 is the most powerful we've ever built into a receiver. It
delivers 150 watts RMS per channel with 0,015% THD at 8 ohms from 20 to
20,000Hz. So the new X-Amplifier will easily handle the wide dynamic range of
the newest digital and direct-to-disc recording.
The
Spatial Expander.
Normal stereo is
limited to the space between two speakers. Yamaha Spatial Expander extends the
sound field out beyond the speakers. This wider sound stage recreates the
ambience and spaciousness of a live performance. There is more space between
musicians, more depth and richness to the overal sound . You get the feeling of
live sound without the expense of adding extra speakers or amplifiers. The
Spatial Expander works with any good stereo source material. Phono, FM or Tape.
For the first time you can enjoy the feeling of sitting front row center at
your favorite concert.
Continuously
variable loudness control.
At low levels, music
sounds like it's missing something. That's because at low volume your ear loses
its ability to hear high and low frequencies.
Most
"Loudness" controls compensate for this by boosting the high and low
frequencies. This can lead to increased distortion. Yamaha found a smoother
way. By suppressing the mid-range. And unlike everybody else, we let you adjust
the amount of loudness compensation to suit your taste. So at low listening
levels you get full, balanced sound without distortion.
The
Record Out Function
With Yamaha's
independent Record Out, you can record from any source while listening to any
other. You can also feed a separate, different signal to a second amplifier and
speakers in another part of your home. So you can have two complete home music
systems for just the price of an extra amplifier and speakers.
AutoPhono.
Now you can have
continuous music without getting up to switch sound sources. For example you
can set the R-2000 to a favorite FM station. Then you can put on a record and
the receiver will automatically switch to the phono mode. Once the record is
over, the receiver automatically switches back to your favorite station. You're
never without sound.
Station-locking
Tuning.
Quartz-locked tuning
is accurate, But quartz tuning circuits have an internal frequency oscilator
which generates RF signals. These signals can be picked up by the tuner and be
mixed with the regular audio signal to cause distortion. To solve this problem
Yamaha engineers developed a unique microprocessor chip a memory. It stores the
exact tuning location of every Am and FM station. When you tune a Yamaha
receiver, the microprocessor produces exactly the frequency you're looking for
instantly … from its memeory. Tuning is 100% accurate. All you get is clean
music.
Pushbutton
Tuning.
The Yamaha R-2000
virtually tunes itself. At the push of a
button, the tuning circuitry sweeps the band in the direction you
desire. The receiver locks automatically onto the next station - perfectly. You
can also pre-select seven FM and AM frequencies for instant access to your 14
favorite station. We could go on. But
hearing is believing. There are six completely new R-Series receivers. Each
step up brings more power, convenience
and versatility. All feature the accurate, musical sound quality for which
Yamaha has become world-renowed. And naturally, ever Yamaha product is backed
by a nationwide network of Preferred Customer Service Centres. The new R-Series
receivers will make a dramatic improvement in the enjoyment and realism you get
from home music system. Trully the next
step in sound from Yamaha.
