Yamaha CS-R3605 Natural Sound Home Theater and Music System

COMPLETE AUDIO/VIDEO ENSEMBLE
The CS-R3605 is a complete system including a high performance home theater receiver that incorporates the latest Yamaha DSP technology and decodes Dolby Digital 5.1-channel and DTS surround, 5-disc CD changer, dual auto-reverse cassette deck, and a full complement of speakers. The electronic components are elegantly stacked in a handsome high-gloss black cabinet and the tower speakers flanking it share the first class finish as well.

5-CHANNEL HOME THEATER RECEIVER
Has Dolby Digital and DTS Decoding, Tri-Field-Procesing and Cinema DSP. The heart of the CS-R3605 is the HTR-5240 receiver that delivers 70 watts to each of its five channels. It decodes Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 formats and provides 23 music and Digital Sound Field Processing modes.

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 each of its five channels.

ACCLAIMED YAMAHA IC CHIPS
Yamaha's YSS-918 LSI is an ASIC devoted to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and performs Digital Sound Field Processing.

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 Theatre in L.A., 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, as well as DTS.

6-CHANNEL INPUTS FOR EXTERNAL DECODER
The HTR-5240'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-5240 can accommodate two digital sources DVD/LD, and CD. The DVD/LD input has both optical and coaxial digital connections.

AUTO PRIORITY INPUT SELECTION
When different input formats are connected from the same source, the HTR-5240 will automatically prioritize them and selects in order Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, and finally the analog input.

AUTO SOUND DECODER
The HTR-5240 senses a Dolby Digital or DTS signal and will automatically switch the receiver to the proper mode when the signal is detected.

NEW YAMAHA UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
The advanced remote control with the HTR-5240 has preset codes for most brands of VCRs, TVs, etc.

THREE AUDIO AND FOUR AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS
The HTR-5240 is a versatile receiver incorporating three sets of audio-only inputs and four pairs of A/V inputs, (including 2 S-Video inputs).

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.
