Yamaha HTR-5740 6.1 Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver
Yamaha HTR-5740 6.1 Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver
Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
For high-quality, future-ready home theater on a budget, look no further than Yamaha's HTR-5740 audio/video receiver. The HTR-5740 offers the convenience of DVD-Audio/SACD-ready analog inputs alongside the latest 6.1-channel surround processing and premium Yamaha sound technologies. Finished in traditional black, the receiver will disappear in your darkened living room during movies.
When hooked up with the digital-audio output from a DVD-Video player or digital satellite receiver, the 85-watts-per-channel HTR-5740 handles 5.1-channel surround decoding for both major formats, Dolby Digital and DTS. In addition, the receiver processes Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, and DTS-EX Discrete 6.1. The extended-surround formats create even more expansive soundfields through a center-rear channel, resulting in six discrete, full-range signals in addition to the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel: front left/right, surround left/right, and front/rear center channels.
A key benefit from a Yamaha receiver, of course, is Yamaha's proprietary signal processing, including Cinema DSP (digital soundfield processing), which creates aural "imaging" that not only makes your home sound like a theater, but also sounds better than most movie theaters. Based on a wealth of measured data in real studios and halls, Cinema DSP is designed to bring out the full potential of movie sound mixes, reproducing them the way directors and sound engineers intended.
Non-Dolby Digital and DTS sources can benefit from surround processing, too. With enhanced directional steering over standard four-channel Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II provides 5.1 channels of surround processing from any stereo source--whether that's a TV broadcast, VHS tapes, or your favorite CDs, cassettes, and LPs.
And, when you're listening to multichannel presentations late at night, you'll appreciate Silent Cinema, which simulates 5.1-channel listening through a pair of ordinary 2-channel headphones (not included). Silent Cinema uses unique parameters for each soundfield to ensure accurate headphone representations of each soundfield.
Then there's the six-channel DVD-Audio/SACD-ready inputs mentioned above. Due to anti-piracy measures, DVD-Audio and SACD players perform their own digital-to-analog conversion, passing high-resolution analog signals on to your amplifier. (And analog, after all, is what your amp feeds your speakers.)
DVD-Audio and SACD can each deliver up to six channels of discrete, full-frequency sound at greater-than-CD resolution (in the case of DVD-A, that means 24 bits, 96 kHz sampling rate versus 16 bits, 44.1 kHz for CD). In stereo or surround, the sound from DVD-Audio and SACD is packed with detail, yet smoother and sweeter from than the sound from even the best standard CD players. The HTR-5740 accommodates decoded DVD-A/SACD signals and routes them to the appropriate speakers in your surround system.
The receiver offers four audio/video input connections (all with composite-/S-video, two with component-video), two fixed and assignable digital-audio inputs (great for DSS, CD, laserdisc, gaming consoles, or minidisc), and front-panel input connections for your camcorder or other spontaneous hookup. The receiver's video circuitry is high-definition ready, too (60 MHz bandwidth), and it will upconvert composite-video to an S-video signal to simplify TV hookup.
Last, but certainly not least, the HTR-5740 benefits from Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) build philosophy. The culmination of the best digital engineering and design possible, it brings together several key elements to create the best-sounding, easiest-to-use A/V components available.

Amazon.com Product Description
Take the next step in home theater performance with the Yamaha HTR-5940 digital surround receiver, which boasts 6.1 channels (105 watts x 6) of amplification and a ton of high-end features. The receiver is built around Yamaha's digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design concept, which maximizes digital signal quality and minimizes analog circuitry to ensure the best possible sound. ToP-ART receivers include such defining attributes as ultra-high-current amplification, high-performance 192 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters, and an impressively wide frequency range of 10 Hz to 100 kHz that helps digital audio sources like DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD reach their full potential.

The Cinema DSP's 14 surround programs include multichannel video modes such as Spectacle, Sci-Fi, Adventure, and General, each of which creates an optimum sound field for a specific movie genre; standard and enhanced modes for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo: 6, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Discrete 6.1, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoders; and a host of other options for movies, music, and video games. Also featured is Silent Cinema, Yamaha's exclusive technology that lets you enjoy multichannel music or movie sound through ordinary headphones, and a Neural Surround decoder that separates and localizes all 6.1 channels with greater clarity than ever before to create an astoundingly detailed soundstage.

What really makes the HTR-5940 unique, however, are the extras, such as a compressed music enhancer that improves the sound quality of MP3s and other compressed formats and a mini input jack on the front panel for connecting MP3 players, iPods, and other portable media devices. Plus, the HTR-5940 not only comes with a standard AM/FM tuner, but is also XM satellite radio ready. All you need is a separately sold XM antenna and a subscription to XM satellite radio and you're set. And audiophiles can be assured of the best possible sound when listening to XM radio thanks to its utilization of the Neural Surround mode.
Additional features include an audio delay that adjusts to poorly synched dialogue, A/B or A+B speaker selection, a selectable nine-band subwoofer crossover, a sleep timer, a night listening mode that lowers the volume during loud passages, and a sleek silver housing.
With a bevy of digital and analog inputs, the HTR-5940 can accommodate a host of digital sources such as DVD players, CD players, video game consoles, digital satellite systems, and much more. The rear panel options include two optical digital inputs and one coaxial digital input; three component video inputs and one output; three S-video inputs and two outputs (one assignable); three composite video inputs and two outputs (one assignable); and two analog audio inputs and one output. Also present are a 5.1 multichannel input and a set of front-panel composite A/V inputs for quick connections.
The HTR-5940 measures 17.1 by 6.3 by 15.4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a two-year warranty.
