YAMAHA Updated: 2007-10-09

5-CHNL H/T RCVR W/ DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS, CINEMA DSP, AND TRI-FIELD PROCESSING
The HTR-5150 is a 5-channel receiver providing Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, Dolby Pro Logic processing and Yamaha's Digital Sound Field Processing, Cinema DSP, and Tri-Field Processing.

BUILT-IN DOLBY DIGITAL
The most advanced and realistic encoded surround sound for movies from Dolby Laboratories. The new Dolby Digital system is a fully discrete system providing six channels of sound. Five are full-frequency channels, and the sixth is a low frequency effects channel.

BUILT-IN DTS
Like Dolby Digital, DTS is a discrete 5.1 channel system. It uses a higher bit-rate for greater resolution and is available on DVDs, laser discs, and music CDs.

TRI-FIELD PROCESSING
Yamaha's exclusive Tri-Field Processing which applies Digital Sound Field Processing technology to Dolby Digital and DTS to create a true movie theater experience in the home. It develops independent enhanced sound fields for the front signals as well as for left and right surround.

DISCRETE POWER TRANSISTORS
Discrete power transistors rather than IC chips are used in the amplifier section to provide the cleanest sound possible. The amp delivers 70- watts to all five channels.

ACCLAIMED YAMAHA IC CHIPS
Yamaha's YSS-918 chip provides Dolby Digital and Pro Logic with full channel separation and no front-to-back bleedthrough in addition to Music and Cinema DSP and Tri-Field Processing.

14 SURROUND MODES INCLUDING MUSIC, CINEMA, AND TRI-FIELD DSP PROGRAMS
Yamaha's exclusive Digital Sound Field Processing for music recreates the acoustic personalities of actual concert halls and other venues, such as the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, Village Gate in N.Y., Anaheim Stadium, and concert halls and churches in Europe. Cinema DSP multiplies the effects of Dolby Pro Logic and Yamaha DSP to provide the best possible Pro Logic movie theater recreation in your home. Tri-Field Processing DSP does the same for Dolby Digital and DTS.

6-CHANNEL INPUTS FOR EXTERNAL DECODER
The HTR-5150's rear panel has input jacks to accommodate an external 6-channel decoder. So the receiver is ready for any other 5.1 channel format, should one be developed.

TWO DIGITAL INPUTS
The HTR-5150 can accommodate two digital sources DVD/LD and TV/DBS. The DVD/LD input has both optical and coaxial digital connections.

THREE AUDIO AND 4 VIDEO INPUTS
The HTR-5150 is a versatile receiver incorporating three sets of audio-only inputs and 4 pairs of A/V inputs. All the video inputs have RCA jacks and three have S-video terminals. Includes one set of A/V inputs on the front panel for fast and easy connection. In addition, the HTR-5150 provides S-video and composite video output.

TWO S-VIDEO OUTPUTS
S-video output jacks for TV Monitor and VCR assure the best quality video pass-through.

AUTO PRIORITY INPUT SELECTION
When different input formats are connected from the same source, the HTR-5150 will automatically prioritize them and selects in order 5.1, PCM, and finally the analog input.

AUTO SOUND DECODER
The HTR-5150 senses a Dolby Digital or DTS signal and will automatically switch the receiver to that mode when the signal is detected.

NEW YAMAHA UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
The advanced remote control with the HTR-5150 has preset codes for most brands of VCRs, TVs, etc.

THREE AUDIO AND FOUR AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS
The HTR-5150 is a versatile receiver incorporating three sets of audio-only inputs and four pairs of A/V inputs, including one set of A/V inputs on the front panel for fast and easy connection.

LOW IMPEDANCE DRIVE CAPABILITY AND IMPEDANCE SWITCHING
Yamaha's famed low impedance drive circuitry is included in this receiver so that it can handle virtually all loads and a wide variety of speakers. For further speaker matching, the receiver's back-panel switches can be set for either 4- or 8-ohm speakers.

LINEAR DAMPING FACTOR CIRCUIT
The advantage of full range, 20 to 20,000 Hz, damping is that it improves the definition and resolution of the sound output throughout the audible frequency range.

A/B SPEAKER SELECTOR
Allows selection of either a first set of speakers or a second -- or both.

SLEEP TIMER
Permits a delayed receiver turn off. You can set it for up to two hours in 30 minute increments.

40-STATION DIRECT ACCESS PRESET TUNING
UP to 40 preset AM and FM stations can be grouped in five groups eight stations. These groupings make it easy for family members to easily access their favorite stations or to have musical genres, such as all the jazz stations, grouped together.

BINDING POST SPEAKER TERMINALS
Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post speaker terminals accept banana plugs, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy gauge cable.
