View back panel CINEMA DSP Digital for Enhanced Surround Realism Conventional multi-channel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater. SILENT CINEMA and Virtual CINEMA DSP SILENT CINEMA, a variation of Yamaha's CINEMA DSP technology, makes it possible to listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in custom installations where some rooms don't have surround speakers). It can be used with the front / center / presence speakers or even with just the two front left and right speakers. Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control) Yamaha's Adaptive DRC technology automatically adjusts the dynamic range of the sound according to the volume that is selected. Adaptive DRC refines the dynamic range parameters to make low volume sounds easier to hear (narrower dynamic range) while retaining the massiveness felt during high volume (wider dynamic range). And because our ears lose sensitivity to low and high sounds as volume decreases, it continually adjusts these frequency ranges according to the volume and to the input signal level. Compressed Music Enhancer Refreshes Your Music Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible. SCENE: A New Level of Operating Ease Four SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for DVD Viewing, Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Push a SCENE button to automatically launch play of the preset source. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, XM Listening, TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. Browse and select the settings quickly accomplished by rotating the Input knob and watching the on-screen display. The settings can be selected for one-time use, or they can replace the original default settings. You can even change the SCENE names for convenience. Audio Delay Compensation Keeps Your Experience On Track The latest display devices perform complex internal processing, causing time lag in the video signal. It is a small difference, but because the audio arrives first, the viewer may feel that something is not natural. The Audio Delay function for adjusting Lip-Sync matches the audio to the timing of the output of the video on the screen (0-240ms). Design Auto Power Down after 4, 8 or 12 hours (selectable) and extremely low power consumption make this an receiver. Expand Your Yamaha System with Convenient Connectivity The optional YDS-12 Universal Dock lets you connect your iPod or iPhone to the receiver. And the YDS-12 is "Works with iPhone"-certified, so you can get the most out of your iPhone music library with zero hassles. The optional YBA-10 Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver docks to the receiver and supports A2DP stereo audio streaming, so users can enjoy music wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, Windows PCs, and Macs.

Client more useful on 22 of 22 people found this review helpful. Excellent entry-level receiver with TA Clark, I wanted something that would handle my gaming systems well, be great for movies and television, and be easy enough to use that my wife and kids can enjoy without feeling intimidated. I also wanted a receiver that will be easy to maintain and manage relationships, and it really fits the bill perfectly. The installation was incredibly simple. For 360 and PS3 all I had to do was just connect HDMI cables to the inputs on the receiver and then another HDMI cable for TV out, and it was ... everything was ready to go to the connections. The screen is clear and easy to understand and speaker setup, whether it is easy to configure and treated in a manner that makes it a piece of cake to change at will. If you just want to start only, not with a fancy V-configuration, and you want something that sounds good and is scalable for a reasonable price, I could not find a better way, with this receiver, I realized that he set up with only two Front speakers go because of my library provision in the living room, and it still sounds excellent, even at low volume. It has a lot of punch and dialogue is clear when watching movies and television, much better than I had before. I'm really, really happy with it. A passion to the high-end models, but for someone just trying to start a home theater system is better is a good way to go. 7 of 7 people found this review helpful. An ideal starting point ... D. Corleone I bought the Denon to replace my AVR-1910. I knew that he would step down in quality and performance, but I seem to like it better than my Denon receiver! Yes, there is an entry level receiver, but good for those who want to get into the Manual HT for the first time is confusing, but I was thinking too much about certain things because I was very useful for Denon. The performance is very good for the price. I went from a configuration of 6.1 to 3.1 and the receiver play my Blu-rays better than expected. The music sounds great too. Do not worry about any of the things CinemaDSP I play just all the 'right' way and let all your course. Autumn advice for beginners, get good sound speakers first and then concentrate on the receiver. It is good if you spent most of their budget for HT speakers (like me). Recommended.

I needed a home receiver Hadeishi entry-level AV to use film to visit another city for several months, for work that has a high-end unit that I use to Onkyo home theater. I'm not expecting this much, given its very low price, but I was pleasantly surprised with the wealth of features and settings and the sound quality. It's four HDMI inputs, it is very easy to use, can make optical and coaxial digital audio, and still has connections and optional Bluetooth iPod / iPhone dock. There are a variety of DSP settings. In fact, I have this as part of the package home theater Yamaha --- again, not expecting much given the low price, but sound quality is pretty impressive for the money. Clear mids and highs for these speakers cheaper --- the bass is slightly boomy and muddy, but you can not have everything at this price. You can connect more expensive speakers, of course, to this unit, and even better results. I have to hand it to Yamaha for making a solid entry-level Read 17 customer reviews ....
