Yamaha HTR-5590 Natural Sound AV Receiver Cinema DSP Digital 6.1 w/ remote.
Overload circuit will occasionally turn the unit off. Repeated applications of the power button will power the unit back up; otherwise, fully functional.
From high-impact home theater, to subtle musical detail — with this versatile receiver driving your A/V system, you've got it all! Yamaha's HTR-5590 is a surround sound powerhouse, combining 100 watts x 6 channels of full-bandwidth-rated power with a host of 5.1- and 6.1-channel decoding options. Dolby® Digital EX and DTS-ES™ deliver 5.1- or 6.1-channel sound from DVD movie soundtracks. Dolby Pro Logic™ II decoding and DTS Neo:6 modes give you convincing 5.1- and 6.1-channel sound, respectively, from just about any stereo or Dolby Surround source: movies on VHS, TV broadcasts, and even your favorite music!
Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design ensures maximum signal quality through every step in the audio path, for stellar sonic results. The incredible HTR-5590 employs 9 separate 192kHz/24-bit DACs — one for each of the 7 channels in a 6.1 signal, plus 2 extras devoted to the front soundstage — for precise separation of dialogue, music, and effects. An advanced 32-bit processor handles all home theater surround decoding, plus Yamaha's exclusive Quad-Field Cinema DSP soundfields.
You get plenty of connectivity for all your sources, including component video switching, 7 digital inputs, and 6 A/V inputs with S-video. A 5.1-channel input lets you hook up a DVD-Audio or SACD player, and the HTR-5590's wide-range frequency response means you can take full advantage of those hi-res music formats. Front-panel optical digital and S-video inputs provide easy hookup of video games, camcorders, and portable audio gear. The HTR-5590 even offers dual-room/dual-source output: you can enjoy multichannel home theater in your main listening room, while a friend or housemate listens to a different stereo audio source in another room (requires separate amp, shelf system, or powered speakers in 2nd room).
The HTR-5590's powerful LCD remote is pre-programmed to control other brands of A/V gear, and can also "learn" specific commands from your other remotes. Yamaha's Silent Cinema mode is a nice touch — it lets you experience multichannel surround effects using regular stereo headphones!
