Amazon.com Product Description
The Yamaha HTR-5840 XM-ready digital home theater receiver is a full-featured digital home theater receiver that sports some serious features. In addition to 6.1-channel discrete amplification (100 w x 6 RMS), the HTR-5840 features Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) amplifier design concept that ensures the highest signal purity and 14 surround programs. Also featured is Silent Cinema, Yamaha's exclusive technology that allows private listening enjoyment of multichannel music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround.

The receiver delivers high power to six channels and features Yamaha's unique Cinema Digital Sound Field Processing, or DSP--Yamaha's way of recreating the ambiance of a stadium, a concert hall or an intimate club in the comfort of your own home. The HTR-5840's digital-to-analog converters use an extremely high performance 192 kHz/24-bit operation type. On top of all this, the HTR-5840 has excellent, high-quality two-channel and multichannel surround reproduction, and it reproduces surround for 5.1 channels and 2.1 (virtual surround). The HTR-5840 is also XM Satellite Radio-ready, which means that with an addition of an XM Connect-and-Play and XM subscription, you can tune into your favorite XM broadcasts.

With 14 different sound programs that provide multiple variations, every movie and every piece of music will sound right in your home theater.

For connectivity, the HTR-5840 includes S-video inputs, three digital and two component video inputs, and a set of front panel A/V inputs for simple temporary connection. The receiver also features an AM/FM digital tuner with 40 station presets.

XM Connect-and-Play Basics

What is the XM Connect-and-Play antenna? The XM Connect-and-Play is required for "XM Ready" receivers to receive XM programing. It integrates an XM receiver and antenna unit into one device.

How does it work? The Connect-and-Play antenna sends the digital radio signal to your XM Ready audio system via a single, plug-in cable.

Do I need anything else? No. If you have an XM Ready receiver and the Connect-and-Play, you're set. XM service does require a subscription.
