These Features Sound Great

The Yamaha HTR5850 is a full-featured digital home theater receiver ready for all formats. It sports a couple of features that not only improve the sound quality of your system, they also make your life a little easier. Component Video Up Conversion takes composite signals and converts them into a component signal. This not only ensures the highest quality video from any source, it means you only need one connection to your HDTV monitor. No more switching inputs according to your source, it can all go through the component video connection.

Other Features

Some other major features on the Yamaha HTR5850 include 6.1-channel discrete amplification (105W x 6 RMS), Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design concept, 14 surround programs, SILENT CINEMA, and a preset remote control. It delivers high power to seven channels and features Yamaha's unique CINEMA DSP. The HTR5850'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 HTR5850 has excellent high quality 2-channel and multi-channel surround reproduction and reproduces surround for 5.1 channels and 2.1 (virtual surround).

Delivering Superior Sound

The HTR5850 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 HTR5850 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. The amp delivers 105 watts each to seven channels.

Inputs and Outputs

The HTR5850 can accommodate digital sources such as DVD, CD, MC/CDR, and D-TV/CBL. Three optical digital outputs assure the finest possible signal leaving the receiver for your other components. The receiver incorporates component video inputs, providing outstanding video connections. The HTR5850 also includes a set of front panel A/V inputs for simple temporary connection.

DSP Me ASAP

The HTR5850 uses DSP technology to bring the most out of your music and movies. All-Channel Stereo DSP is great for casual listening parties. Yamaha's DSP puts music through all speakers in the system and maintains stereo imaging. Building on technology incorporated into its world-famous "silent" musical instruments, Yamaha has added HRTF and "Virtual" technology to create a realistic surround movie effect using standard, two-channel headphones.
