Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Yamaha RX-V795 is a five-channel surround receiver providing topnotch performance and processing for both audio and video sound. Yamaha includes trifield processing as well as Dolby Surround Pro, Dolby Digital, and DTS processing. Yamaha's exclusive digital sound-field musical processing recreates the acoustic personalities of actual concert halls such as the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, the Village Gate in New York, Anaheim Stadium, and churches throughout Europe. Its 35mm and 70mm cinema DSP multiply the effects of Dolby Pro Logic and Yamaha's DSP to provide the best possible Pro Logic movie-theater recreation in your home.

Delivering 85 watts to each of the five channels, the RX-V795 uses discrete power transistors rather than IC chips to provide the cleanest sound possible. Yamaha employs single function application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) for the RX-V795. ASICs are more efficient than multifunction chips and provide the most accurate decoding possible. Yamaha's YSS-918 is an ASIC that provides Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, cinema DSP, and trifield processing. This receiver also includes low-impedance drive circuitry so that it can handle virtually all loads and a wide variety of speakers. For further speaker matching, the amplifier can be set for either 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers.

Rear input and output jacks on the RX-V795 make the receiver easy to use in multiroom or other custom installation situations. Front panel audio-video inputs enable fast and easy connections. RX-V795's rear panel incorporates three sets of audio-only inputs and four pairs of audio-video inputs. All the video inputs have RCA jacks, and two have S-video terminals. S-video and composite video outputs are also provided. The RX-V795 accommodates three digital sources: DVD/LD, TV/DBS, and CD. In addition, the DVD/LD input has both optical and coaxial digital connections.

RX-V795's sophisticated tuner uses a direct phase-locked-loop synthesizer tuning system. Five different people can select up to eight AM and FM stations. This totals a 40-station memory and makes it easy for family members to access their favorite stations or to have musical genres, such as all the jazz stations, grouped together.

The RX-V795 comes with a universal remote control, two AA batteries, an FM monopole antenna, an AM loop antenna, an antenna adapter, and a user's manual.

Yamaha provides a warranty of one year on parts and 90 days on labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best sound, under rated, September 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Yamaha RX-V795 Surround Receiver (Electronics)

Yamaha receivers always produce clean sound. The power output is always under rated, add about 30% to they number they give. Most of the other receivers over rate the power output, they produce that power but it bad sound at the top end that can damage speakers. The only bad thing is the remote is just 'ok' it serves its purpose, but don't plan on using it for a unversal remote.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Value that's worth every cent you pay!, October 17, 2000

This review is from: Yamaha RX-V795 Surround Receiver (Electronics)

This is a great quality reciever for the money. The sound output is crisp and clear. Lot of features. You have more control over how you want to listen to the sound output(you have to read the manual). The only negative thing is the remote. I hate it! Buy a universal remote with this because the remote that it comes with is inconveniant, to say the least. You have to keep turning a dial to get to the component you want to control. It would have been better it they had just placed individual key for each component.. poor design! it comes with a 2 years parts and labor warranty.. no need to buy extra extended warranties.... most listeners will like this reciever's performance.. good luck hunting

I have awsome taste in autio equipment with a degree in electronics and for the money under 900$ you'll find my first choice rotel spisifcly rx1050 if you cant aford it. yamaha also carys a nice line stay away from sony,dennon and realisic there not worth XXXX! harmon cardon is nice but there over priced for what you get quality is good but output power is nominal you'll get good value for your dollar if you stick with onkio, rotel or yamaha.
