The Biggest change in 2018 is the addition of Surround Artificial Intelligence (AKA Sound AI)
2018 updates vs 2017 Aventage Models:
- Surround Artificial Intellegence
- Wireless Multi-Cast Surround
- 1-More HDMI Output (Zone 2) for 3 Total
- 2-XLR Pre-Outs (Front L/R Speakers)
- New Back-Lit remote, with 8 Scene buttons
- Bluetooth version 4.2 (receiver only)
- 5.8Ghz WiFi support added
- Improved GUI (?)
Removed from 2017 Models:
- 1-HMDI input from Front Panel (absent on 2018 models)
- Number of Scenes reduced from 12 to 8 (4 less on 2018 models)
- Bluetooth V2.1 Receiver and Transmitter (Transmitter eliminated on 2018 models)
- Up-Mixing of Dolby Digital, DD+ and TrueHD will be limited to Dolby Surround (or a Yamaha DSP mode) on New 2018 models
(2017 models can still use Neural:X Up-Mixer on any sound format, up to 7.1.4)
2017 Aventage Remote (Left) 2018 Aventage Remote (Right)
3rd HDMI Out (New for 2018)
Rear Panel changes
Hidden Front panel changes (HDMI IN *Gone*)
So the HDMI IN count drops from 8 to 7, and they provide on extra HDMI Out instead.
I found the front HDMI access very handy to hook up a Laptop to run a quick REW sweep
or for a quick temporary hookup to an HDMI capable Camcorder/GoPro without pulling the AVR out of the rack.
....more to be added as I get time
