Description

Budget, feature loaded 375 Watt 5.1 AVR from Yamaha

Features:

The RX-V430 is a powerful and versatile 5-channel receiver, delivering 75 watts to each channel. The receiver provides plenty of processing and a host of Yamaha features.

With powerful and varied sound processing, the RX-V430 provides Dolby Digital, Dolby ProLogic II, and DTS Digital Surround decoding. Yamaha’s Quad-Field CINEMA DSP allows enjoyment of Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 sound formats in the Phantom mode (using 5.1 channels). The RX-V430 provides 21 surround programs and offers a total of 41 surround environment variations.

Yamaha’s proprietary ASIC LSI, the 32-bit YSS-938, assures top quality audio performance.

The RX-V430 has two audio-only inputs and one audio-only output. Including the audio portion of A/V source inputs, the receiver provides 1 optical and 1 coaxial digital input.

When a source is selected, the receiver automatically chooses the best quality input connected – digital audio rather than analog audio, etc. The receiver also makes the same automatic selection for decoding, down the hierarchy from discrete multi-channel, to matrix, and then stereo.

Building on technology incorporated into its world famous “silent” musical instruments, Yamaha has added HRTF and “Virtual” technology to create a realistic surround movie effect using standard, two-channel headphones.

The RX-V430’s rear panel has input jacks to accommodate an external decoder. The receiver is ready for any other 5.1 multi-channel format, should one be developed.

Yamaha’s famed low impedance drive circuitry is included in this receiver so that it can handle virtually all loads and a wide variety of speakers. For further speaker matching, the amplifier can be set for either 4- or 8-ohm speakers.

The new receiver provides a subwoofer pre-out so that the low frequency signals can go directly to your powered subwoofer.

The advantage of full range, 20 to 20,000 Hz, damping is that it improves the definition and resolution of the sound output throughout the audible frequency range.

Permits a delayed receiver turn off. It can be set for up to two hours in 30 minute increments.

Up to 40 preset AM and FM stations can be grouped in five groups of eight stations. These groupings make it easy for family members to easily access their favorite stations or to have musical genres, such as all the jazz stations, grouped together.

Includes Pre-programmed Universal Remote, and soft copy of manual in PDF. Asking just $125 for this well equipped budget Yamaha AVR, fully tested and working well.

Yamaha began as an organ maker in Hamamatsu, Japan, in 1887. It made gramophones from the 1920s and began hi-fi with the 1954 HiFi Player. We carry Yamaha AV receivers, vintage stereo receivers, CD players, subwoofers and speakers. We've had more than 280 Yamaha listings so far, covering nearly 200 different models. Every used Yamaha here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Every AV receiver we list is tested input by input on our bench: each HDMI input and output, the analog, optical and coaxial inputs, the subwoofer outputs and the wireless features where it has them. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Yamaha models we've sold most often: the SW-3 subwoofer, the NX-E270 surrounds, and the RX-V1400, RX-V850 and RX-V800 AV receivers.

The Yamaha hi-fi story

Torakusu Yamaha built his first reed organ in Hamamatsu in 1887 and founded Nippon Gakki in 1897; the company was renamed Yamaha Corporation in 1987. Yamaha calls the 1954 HiFi Player its first audio product, and dates its first Natural Sound (NS) speakers to 1967.

1970s hi-fi. The CA-700 and CA-500 of 1972 were Yamaha's first integrated amplifiers, and the CA-1000 of 1973 could switch its output stage between Class A and Class A/B. The NS-1000 and NS-1000M speakers of 1974 used beryllium dome drivers, and the NS-10M of 1978, sold for home use, became a studio monitor.

CD and surround. The CD-1 of 1982 was Yamaha's first CD player. The DSP-1 of 1986 was a Digital Sound Field Processor, and in 1993 the RX-V870 became the first Yamaha receiver with CINEMA DSP. The RX-V992 of 1997 added built-in Dolby Digital decoding.

AVENTAGE. The AVENTAGE (RX-A) receiver line launched in 2010, above the RX-V range.

Which Yamaha is which?

CA integrated amplifiers (1972 to about 1979): the CA-500, CA-700, CA-1000 and CA-2000, followed by the A-series.

CR receivers (mid-1970s to about 1980): the CR-1000, then the CR-620 to CR-2020 generation of 1977 to 1979.

NS speakers: from the NS-690 and the beryllium NS-1000 to the NS-10M bookshelf speaker, made from 1978 to 2001.

CD players: from the CD-1 of 1982 to the CDX and GT-CD models.

RX-V AV receivers (from at least 1991): such as the RX-V800, RX-V850 and RX-V1400 we sell often. Built-in Dolby Digital arrived in 1997, YPAO room calibration in 2003 and HDMI in the mid-2000s.

RX-A AVENTAGE (from 2010): the step-up AV receivers. The RX-Z models were the flagships until 2007.

Buying used Yamaha: what to check

Formats. On an AV receiver, check what it decodes and connects to: Dolby Digital from 1997, room calibration from 2003, HDMI from the mid-2000s.

HDMI boards. On modern AV receivers, HDMI is usually the first thing to fail. We test every HDMI input and output before listing.

CR receivers. Owners suggest asking whether service bulletins were done on a CR-2020, and expect scratchy controls and burnt-out dial lamps on any unserviced unit.

NS speakers. Check that the tweeters on an NS-10M are original and both work, and inspect the beryllium domes on an NS-1000, since Yamaha stopped making beryllium diaphragms in 1997.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
