The "A" historically denoted that the unit was an integrated amp, not a receiver as most of Yamaha's other A/V products. This simply means that the tuner (radio portion) is not built integrally to the unit, and must be added on externally if one wishes to use this feature. Cross-talk between tuners and (pre)amps is quite common in all-in-one-box solutions, so the omittion of the tuner tended to make for a better unit. Most mass market receivers are so good now that this notion may be approaching obsolensence.

I am not sure about the DSP-A2, but the others you mentioned all omit the tuner. They are all A/V processors. The difference between those models will be power available in amps, and/or type of processor (DPL/DD/DTS decoding).
