Prince Of Persia 1080p Dual Audio Torrent

Persona 5 is breaking its Valentine's date with fans outside of Japan. Atlus announced today that it's delaying the game to April 4, 2017, a little less than two months after its former February 14, 2017 release date. It's a heartbreaker for Western fans who have had little to do but watch their Japanese counterparts play since September 2016, and they let the anguish pour forth on Twitter.
Fortunately, it wasn't all bad news. Atlus confirmed that it will release Persona 5's original Japanese audio track as free DLC for both the PS4 and PS3 versions, effectively making it a dual audio release. And a free PS4 theme featuring Phantom Thief Ryuji Sakamato is available for less than 24 hours.

We ran a full suite of amplifier tests onthis receiver below, but for now let's talk some more about features - causethere's a LOT of them. The receiver is packedwith inputs and outputs. If you haven't yet gotten your head wrapped aroundjust what this behemoth offers, we'll help you through that here. Take a lookat the back of the RX-A3000 receiver:
One of the things we really like about the RX-A3000 is its new and improved GUI with snappy, animated menus that can also superimpose itself over video. Earlier menu systems were gussied up text-based interfaces - this is more like an app. Screenshots are great, video is even better, so check out our Yamaha RX-A3000 Video Preview for a sneak peak at the menus in action. Starting at the top, even the background of the menu system, the splash screen, can be configured:
Within the system menu we found that the RX-A3000 unlocks an almost limitless amount of options for the amplifiers, inputs, HDMI and DSP. We're talking a massive amount of configurability, and the visual representation of what you are doing makes it easy to understand the settings. The Setup menu system, which slides up and down, and left to right depending upon the submenu you are in, generally allows you to edit settings on the fly while watching video in the background and is broken up into 8 main sections:
This is where you engage the Auto setup using the included multi-point microphone, and also where you configure the speakers with the manual setup function. We have beat YPAO to death in the past, so we're not going to waste valuable real estate rehashing that system here. What we are going to talk about is the new design of the manual Speaker Setup menu, which operates under a new "Select Your Speaker Configuration" methodology. In the past, Yamaha had you select how the amplifiers were going to be used, and select the way the Surround Back and Presence channels were to be allocated, often without any provision for utilizing both a second or third Zone and the Presence Channels. In short, Yamaha was severely limited in the past. With the RX-A3000, the on-screen GUI interface literally shows you what your options are, and you can pick and choose how you want to run your speakers and how you are planning to amplify them in the various situations. The amplifier assignments are automatically selected when you scroll through the configuration options - and you have only to observe the notation and graphical representation to understand what is possible. In this way, the complexity of selecting amplifier routing is removed and all possible permutations are granted simultaneously. This is the first time we've seen this in an AV receiver.
Take this scenario, for example, which is my favorite: I am operating a 7.1 system + a second Zone. In this configuration I am not bi-amping the mains, but I am using an external 2-channel amplifier to power my Zone 2 speakers. This is designated as EXTRA SP1: Zone 2. It also gives me the flexibility to select how I am using my last 2 channels of amplification - as Surround Back speakers, or in Zone 2. The beauty is, with 11 pars of binding posts, I don't have to do any fancy rewiring; everything is all set. Here is how it looks:
Now, suppose I wanted, instead to opt for pulling both the Surround as well as the Surround Back amplifiers in order to power two additional zones? No problem, Yamaha's RX-A3000 can allocate amplifiers as needed to do that as well. Here's how that particular configuration looks:
But I want to use my Presence channel speakers, you say. You know what, that's a great idea. Yamaha allows you to configure those for use with an external amplifier (they have dedicated preamp outputs) and now you can opt to allocate the internal amplifier between Surround Back channels and the optional Zone 2 you configured. This is how that scenario would look on the setup menu:
As was the case with the RX-Z7, the RX-A3000 provides for variable crossover settings per speaker group (ie. Mains, Center, Surrounds but doesn't give you a choice for the subwoofer crossover which I found through my testing to be dependent on the main channel crossover setting. Thus I highly recommend you keep each speaker group's crossover setting within 20Hz to ensure a more optimal integration with the subwoofer during all playback modes (ie. discrete 5.1 sources and 2 CH music in PLIIx Music Mode).
Yamaha still allows you to set the center and surround channels to "large" even if you select "small" for the main channels. I would have preferred Yamaha to automatically set all speakers to "small" if the mains were set "small". Pay extra attention when manually configuring speaker size groups or use one of their presets that sets all speakers to "small" if you aren't running fullrange speakers on the main channels or want all of your speakers bass managed.
The crossovers worked as expected for a THX Ultra2 certified receiver (except the RX-A3000 is not THX certified) as indicated by the 12dB/oct High Pass Filter (HPF) slopes on speakers set small and 24dB/oct Low Pass Filter (LPF) slopes on the subwoofer output which we measured with our Audio Precision APx585. The only oddity was that the subwoofer channel was down about 1.5dB at 10Hz which to us indicated a rather conservative HPF employment on this channel since this slight attention didn't show up on any of the seven main channels.
This menu isn't nearly as exciting as the Speaker menu, but it does offer access to basic functionality like Lipsync delay (HDMI auto or manual) and Dynamic range (for Dolby Digital soundtracks). If you are adjusting delay, the range is from 0 (the default) to 250 ms in 1 ms increments - now that's precise! You can also configure Max and Initial Volume settings and whether or not video outputs in Pure Direct Mode (we recommend it be off, or what's the point). Max Volume can be set anywhere from -30.0 dB to +16.5 dB (the maximum) in 5dB increments. Initial Volume is nearly identical, except that you can adjust it in 0.5dB steps to get a more precise starting point. Lastly, you can set the Adaptive DSP level (On or Off), which varies the DSP effect with the volume level of the receiver for a more realistic effect.
The Video setup menu has some very unique and helpful settings. In particular, we felt it was wise of Yamaha to allow users to disable analogue-to-analogue conversion. In that way you can force your expensive display to do the work and maintain the purity of your video signal (it's also an excellent way to troubleshoot analogue video compatibility problems). You can also disable the video processing features for the HDMI video - also helping you to determine exactly who is doing the video processing: the receiver, the player, or your display. If you enable it, you can set the output resolution to 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p or Through (same resolution as what is being input).

Aside from processing and conversion, this menu provides for scaling options of converted video, and picture controls such as Contrast, Brightness, and Resolution Enhancement. Unless you have a deficient source component, we recommend largely leaving these options alone with one exception. We found that the various Noise Reduction circuits were handy in reducing mosquito noise and the analogue noise found on older program material. In either case, it's a truly advanced feature with six configurable Presets which allow adjustment over:
That's an extensive list, driven by the new HQV Vida video processing chipset. Since you can customize and store up to six different presets, it's incredibly powerful and offers a great way to tweak the system when your display or source doesn't allow for easy application-specific customization.
As with most receivers with dual HDMI outputs, the Yamaha RX-A3000 lets you set which output will handle CEC functions (and enable or disable the function entirely). Unfortunately, since HDMI has provided such poor implementation standards for CEC functions under the guise of "freedom for manufacturers to choose", the results are almost always unpredictable, even when you stick to products made by the same manufacturer. This menu is also where you would enable Audio Return Channel (ARC) functionality (and the Control Select function determines which HDMI output receives the audio signals from the TV). You can also select which input receives this audio.
The other thing we really liked was that you could set what is output via the two HDMI output jacks - namely, whether audio and video, or just video are output. What's semi-unique about the RX-A3000 is that you can have the receiver simultaneously read audio from an HDMI input and also send that audio out through one or both HDMI outputs on the back. This means that you can do a sort of multi-cast of program material. Why is this important? At times, during our annual Super Bowl party for example, we've wanted to take audio from a source and also pass it along to another room where it can feed a television. Typically you must choose one or the other - either you are pulling audio and passing video on to a television, or you are passing all audio through the receiver without using it. With the RX-A3000, you can have your cake and eat it too. Lastly, HDMI Standby is activated here and you can select the HDMI input even when the unit is in Standby mode!
