Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The HTR-5640 is a full-featured entry-level home theater receiver compatible with virtually any format. Major features include six-channel discrete amplification (75 watts x 6), Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART design concept (with the goal of maximizing signal purity), Quad-Field Cinema DSP, 24 surround programs, Silent Cinema, and a preset remote control. The unit provides decoding for DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, and DTS Neo:6, as well as Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro Logic II, using Yamaha's exclusive YSS-938 32-bit floating-point quantization LSI. The receiver also 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. In addition, the amplifier uses discrete power transistors rather than IC chips to provide the cleanest sound possible in all six channels.
Two high-end sound features--Tri-Field Cinema DSP imaging for video sound and Digital Sound Field Processing for music--deliver the most realistic and dramatic sound possible. With 24 distinct sound programs that provide a total of 44 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 your 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 six-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-5640 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. The receiver includes a linear damping factor circuit, which uses a full range from 20 to 20,000 Hz to improve the definition and resolution of the sound output throughout the audible frequency range. 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 three composite video inputs and two outputs, along with two component video inputs. 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-5640 can accommodate digital sources such as DVD and CD. Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post-speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade connectors, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy-gauge cable.
