YAMAHA HTR-5760 7.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver

Home Theater Receiver pt# RX-V1400

There have been spacecraft with fewer features than Yamaha's flagship A/V receiver, the RX-V1. This receiver was created to take advantage of all of the surround sound and digital processing technologies currently on the fore, including 8-channel surround sound, digital matrix 6.1 and DTS ES. It also provides video switching with a bevy of S-video and composite connections.The RX-V1's processors deliver 54 DSP (digital signal processing) settings, including 70mm Cinema DSP, Tri-Field Processing DSP, Digital DSP, digital Matrix 6.1 and DTS ES. It will also decode Dolby Pro-Logic and simulate such venues as the Roxy in L.A. and the Village Gate in NYC. The RX-V1 provides 110 watts to each of the six main channels and will also kick 35 watts to the extra left/right front-effects channels. And, if your listening room is large, an extra output allows the connection of an additional center-channel speaker. Balancing out the eight audio outputs, the RX-V1 provides eight A/V inputs, including one on the front panel. All of the rear-panel video connections are armed with S-video. There are also seven digital audio inputs and four analog stereo inputs. Yamaha didn't overlook the basics when it built this super-computing behemoth. An AM/FM tuner with 40 nameable presets, a sleep timer that can be set in 30-minute increments, a bass-boost switch, a headphone jack, and a universal remote control are also part of the feature mix. The RX-V1 is also available with a gold-colored faceplate for $100 more. -- EM
