Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The HTR-5630 is a powerful digital home theater receiver that's compatible with virtually any format. The unit delivers high power to five channels while providing accurate DTS and DTS Matrix 6.1 (phantom) decoding, as well as Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, using Yamaha's exclusive YSS-938 32-bit floating-point quantization LSI. The receiver employs a high-performance 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter to perform accurate sound field reproduction for high-quality multichannel sources and two-channel stereo, providing outstanding separation and precise musical delineation. Other features include Tri-Field Cinema DSP imaging for video sound and Digital Sound Field Processing for music, each of which delivers the most realistic and dramatic sound possible. With 21 distinct sound programs that provide a total of 41 variations, every movie and piece of music will sound complete in your home theater.

No one expects more from a volume control than Yamaha, whose products far exceed the standard up-and-down volume format. The device features a digitally regulated volume control that lets you make delicate adjustments within a narrow range, yet also allows you to increase or decrease the volume dramatically with precise results. The remote control itself includes built-in preset codes for most other manufacturers, so you can use it as a single remote for the entire system.

The included Dolby format provides 5.1-channel surround from any stereo source. Separate movie and music modes are also provided for optimum listening. Yamaha's five-channel stereo DSP is terrific for casual listening and parties, as it runs music through all the speakers in the system while maintaining stereo imaging. For home theater use, the HTR-5630 employs Tri-Field Cinema DSP to project three sound fields: a presence field in the front and two surround-sound fields in the left and right rear for powerful, realistic 3-D soundscapes. Building on technology incorporated into its world famous "silent" musical instruments, Yamaha added HRTF and "virtual" technology to create a realistic surround movie effect using standard two-channel headphones.

For convenience and versatility, you can switch the receiver between two sets of speakers at the touch of a button, or you can run two pairs of main speakers simultaneously. The subwoofer's pre-out connection allows you to add outboard amplification or a direct subwoofer connection. In addition, Yamaha included its famed low-impedance drive circuitry in this receiver, so it can handle virtually any load and a wide variety of speakers. To match the speakers more precisely, you can set the amplifier to accept either 4- or 8-ohm speakers. User features include a sleep timer, which permits a delayed receiver to turn off (you can set it for up to two hours in 30-minute increments), and up to 40 preset AM and FM stations, which you can group in five groups of eight stations each.

The receiver back panel features four composite video inputs and one output. In addition, the panel delivers two audio-only analog inputs and one analog output. With two digital inputs (one optical and one coaxial), the HTR-5630 can accommodate digital sources such as DVD, CD, cable/satellite, D-TV, or a video game console. Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post-speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade connectors, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy-gauge cable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product for the money, July 2, 2004

This review is from: Yamaha HTR-5630 5.1 Digital Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)

I bought the HTR 5630 even though I could find no other detailed user review on the net. I assumed that the 5400 and 5500 series were getting good reivews and there were NO bad comments abou the 5600 series I might as well give it a try.

This is my first AV reciever and they are paired with Yamaha NS-555 fronts, RCA Pro LS-200 center, generic bookshelfs and a multimedia YST-MS28 subwoofer. The last two coz i ran out of money. But will upgrade both in a couple of months.

The manual is a bit cryptic but the reciever is solid in build and performance. The DSP programs are wonderful, I use it for regular TV watching (you will need to adjust your center volume to make it viable for regular sit com and news watching).

Since its 70W RMS per channel and since I have a medium sized room it a perfect match with the front hardly straining to deliver expection sound.

Still need to figure out how to tune the FM radio (the manual is very cryptic about some stuff). But i am sure i will figure it out.

Great product, Great price, mediocre manaul.

You might have to 'shop around' for the best price and you will be surprised how cheap you can get it.
