YAMAHA'S TOP MODEL! THE HTR-5490 A/V 6.1 RECEIVER!

The HTR-5490 is a full-featured home theater receiver ready for all formats and for custom installation. It delivers high power to six channels and provides DTS ES, Neo 6 and DTS ES Matrix 6.1 decoding as well as Dolby Digital 6.1 and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding.

Yamaha's new proprietary ASIC LSI, the 32-bit YSS-938, assures top quality audio performance.

Discrete power transistors rather than IC chips are used in the amplifier section to provide the cleanest sound possible. The amp delivers 80 watts each to six channels.

Yamaha's exclusive Tri-Field Cinema DSP imaging for video sound and Digital Sound Field Processing for music delivers the most realistic and dramatic sound possible. The HTR-5490 features 22 different sound programs that provide a total of 44 variations, so every movie and every piece of music will sound right in your home theater.

The HTR-5490's newly designed remote control features a large LCD display, illuminated keys, preset commands, and learning capability.

Wide bandwidth is essential to assure sharp video. The receiver's 60 MHz component video bandwidth means that your picture will retain its clarity and sharpness.

Yamaha's exclusive Tri-Field Processing which applies Digital Sound Field Processing technology to Dolby Digital and DTS to create a true movie theater experience in the home. It develops independent enhanced sound fields for the front signals as well as for left and right surround.

This new Dolby format provides 5.1-channel surround from any stereo source.

Great for casual listening and parties, Yamaha's 6-channel stereo DSP puts music through all speakers in the system and maintains stereo imaging.

Provides a realistic surround multi-channel surround experience using only two speakers.

Building on technology incorporated into its world famous "silent" musical instruments, Yamaha has added HRTF and "Virtual" technology to create a realistic surround movie effect using standard, two-channel headphones.

The HTR-5490's rear panel has input jacks to accommodate an external 6-channel decoder. So the receiver is ready for any other 6.1 channel format, should one be developed.

The HTR-5490 is compatible with the 96 kHz/24-bit format of DVD-Audio and will deliver that format in the finest way possible.

Allows you to easily establish, change, and adjust settings from across the room. The on-screen display for composite and S-video gives you a visual readout of the receiver's settings on your TV or monitor screen.

With seven digital inputs, six fully assignable digital inputs (4 optical and 2 coaxial), the HTR-5490 can accommodate digital sources such as DVD, CD, LD, Cable/Sat, D-TV, and MD. Two optical digital outputs assure the finest possible signal leaving the receiver for your other components.

The HTR-5490 has six S-video inputs and four S-video outputs. The receiver incorporates two component video inputs and one component video output.

For simple temporary connection, the receiver is equipped with a set of front panel A/V inputs, including a digital input.

For convenience and versatility, the receiver can switch back and forth between two sets of speakers at the touch of a button.

This allows you to add a subwoofer.

Yamaha's famed low impedance drive circuitry is included in this receiver so that it can handle virtually all loads and a wide variety of speakers. For further speaker matching, the amplifier can set for either 4-or 8-ohm speakers.

The advantage of full range, 20 to 20,000 Hz, damping is that it improves the definition and resolution of the sound output throughout the audible frequency range.

Accentuates the bass by adding a 7 dB boost at around 70 Hz.

Allows selection of either a first set of speakers main speaker or a second -- or both.

Permits a delayed receiver turn off. You can set it for up to two hours in 30 minute increments.

Up to 40 preset AM and FM stations can be grouped in five groups eight stations. These groupings make it easy for family members to easily access their favorite stations or to have musical genres, such as all the jazz stations, grouped together.

Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade connectors, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy gauge cable.
