6.1-Channel HTR Series Digital Home Theater Receiver

The powerful and versatile HTR5940 6.1-channel receiver delivers a total of 510 watts of power (20Hz - 20kHz) and features Quad-Field CINEMA DSP and Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology). The HTR5940 is also XM Satellite Radio ready with the addition of an antenna and a service subscription.

These Features Sound Great

Some of the great features that you'll love when you purchase the Yamaha HTR Series HTR5940 include 6-channel discrete amplification (85W x 6), 14 surround programs, SILENT CINEMA, and a backlit remote control with preset remote control codes. It delivers high power to six channels and features Yamaha's unique CINEMA DSP. The HTR5940's vitally important digital-to-analog converters use an extremely high performance 192kHz/24-bit operation type. They perform accurate sound field reproduction for high quality multichannel sources, and for two-channel stereo, provide outstanding separation and precise musical delineation. On top of all this, the HTR5940 utilizes Digital ToP-ART and High Current Amplification to maximize digital quality while minimizing analog circuitry.

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 effects ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will 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

With an XM Connect-and-Play digital antenna (sold separately) and a subscription to XM Satellite Radio, you can take advantage of this great service with the HTR5940. XM Satellite Radio is the satellite radio service with millions of listeners across the United States, broadcasting live daily. The XM Satellite Radio channel lineup includes more than 150 digital channels of choice from coast to coast: 67 commercial-free music channels, from hip hop to opera, classical to country, bluegrass to blues; 33 channels of premier sports, talk, comedy, children's and entertainment programming; and more than 20 channels of the traffic and weather information for major metropolitan areas nationwide. Because XM Satellite Radio is a subscription service, you will need to set up an account and activate service with XM using your XM Satellite Radio ID number. For further information on XM Satellite Radio services, visit the XM Satellite Radio website at http://www.xmradio.com. The HTR5940 is equipped with a Neural Surround Decoder that plays back the surround sound content of the XM Satellite Radio broadcasts in multi-channels, resulting in a full surround sound experience.

Delivering Superior Sound

The HTR5940 features Yamaha's exclusive Quad-Field Cinema DSP imaging for video sound and Digital Sound Field Processing for music that delivers the most realistic and dramatic sound possible. The HTR5940 features 14 different sound programs that provide multiple variations, so every movie and every piece of music will sound right in your home theater. Discrete power transistors rather than chips are used in the amplifier section to provide the cleanest sound possible.

Compressed Music Enhancer

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 HTR5940's Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and expecially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible.
