5.1-Channel HTR Series Digital Home Theater Receiver

This high-performance 5.1-channel digital home theater receiver from Yamaha provides excellent value. The HTR6030SL includes many desirable features, such as CINEMA DSP, SILENT CINEMA, SCENE, Compressed Music Enhancer, realistic surround programs, and three component video inputs. It's also XM Satellite Radio-ready.

These Features Sound Great

Some of the great features you'll love when you purchase the Yamaha HTR Series HTR6030 A/V receiver include 5-channel discrete amplification (100 W x 5), XM Satellite Radio readiness, SILENT CINEMA, and a remote control with preset codes. It delivers high power to five channels and features Yamaha's unique CINEMA DSP. The HTR6030's vitally important digital-to-analog (DAC) converters use an extremely high performance 192kHz/24-bit operation type. These DACs perform accurate sound field reproduction for high quality multichannel sources, and for two-channel stereo, provide outstanding separation and precise musical delineation.

CINEMA DSP Digital

Conventional multichannel 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 low frequency effects ideally located in these separate sound fields, you'll hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, excaptional 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! The decoding circuitry performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES (DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1), DTS Neo:6 and DTS 96/24 decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as digital sound field processing.

XM Satellite Radio Ready

Yamaha's HTR6030 makes it easy for you to bring XM Satellite Radio into your home. XM delivers over 170 channels of music (including 69 commercial-free channels), news, sports, talk, comedy, and children's programming. There are even select channels broadcasting in XM-HD Surround 5.1-channel audio. To hear XM you'll need the optional XM Mini-Tuner and XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock, or the older XM Connect & Play tuner/antenna (none of which is included). You also have to subscribe for XM service, subscription and activation fees apply (subscriptions not included). Check out xmradio.com to see the schedule of your favorite sports coverage, music, and personalities; and for the hardware to make it happen.

SILENT CINEMA And Virtual CINEMA DSP

SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones! This is a variation of CINEMA DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private to movies and other multichannel 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 installation 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.

Make The SCENE, And Bring Your Digital Music

Four SCENE buttons make operating Yamaha's HTR6030 receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for DVD Viewing, Disc Listening, TV Viewing, and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button automatically launches a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, XM Listening, TV Sports Viewing, and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings is 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. The SCENE names can be changed also. To make your digital music files sound even better, 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.
