Yamaha YHT-22 Natural Sound One-Box Home Theater Audio System

ALL THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR SUPERB HOME THEATER IN A SINGLE BOX
Provides an easy way to purchase a home theater component system. The YHT-22 includes Yamaha's five-piece NS-AP327 speaker ensemble, a YST-SW45 subwoofer, plus Yamaha's HTR-5140 home theater receiver which delivers Dolby Digital 5.1 and Yamaha's Digital Sound Field Processing.

VERSATILE, POWERFUL RECEIVER
Powering this flagship system is Yamaha's HTR-5140 receiver using discrete power transistors, rather than IC chips, to provide 70 watts to each of its five channels. The receiver provides Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, 11 Yamaha surround modes, including Cinema DSP, Tri-Field Processing, and music modes, and incorporates a high quality AM/FM stereo tuner with 40 presets.

6-CHANNEL INPUT FOR FUTURE DECODER
The system is ready for the future. The receiver's back panel has 6-channel inputs to accommodate an outboard DTS, DVD-Audio, or other 6-channel audio format.

ACCLAIMED YAMAHA IC CHIPS
Yamaha's YSS-908 ASIC chip provides Dolby Digital and Yamaha's proprietary surround modes.

8 VIDEO AND THREE MUSIC SOUND FIELDS
The HTR-5140 receiver incorporates a total of 11 sound fields, 8 for video related programs and three for music. For video the fields are: Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic Enhanced, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Enhanced, 70mm Movie Theater, Digital Movie Theater, Mono Movie and TV Sports. The three music fields are: Disco, Rock Concert, and Concert Hall.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT WITH LOW PASS FILTER
Allows you to add outboard amplification and direct subwoofer connection.

NEW THIN PROFILE UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
The new thin profile remote control keypad is ergonomically designed for easy access to the most often used features, functions, and operations. It can operate Yamaha A/V components and has pre-set codes for popular brands of TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and cable/DBS boxes.

FOUR AUDIO/VIDEO AND THREE AUDIO INPUTS
The HTR-5140 is a versatile receiver incorporating 4-sets of audio/video inputs and 3-pairs of audio-only 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 switch can be set for either high or low-impedance 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/V SPEAKER SELECTOR
Allows selection of either a first set of speakers or a second -- or both.

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 FOR MAIN CHANNELS
Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade connectors, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy gauge cable.

COMPLETE HOME THEATER SPEAKER COMPLEMENT
The six-speaker complement includes the 5-speaker NS-AP327 for the front, center, and surround speakers and Yamaha's YST-SW45 subwoofer which delivers low bass, which is so important for effective home theater. Each magnetically shielded speaker in the NS-AP327 ensemble is a two-way design utilizing a 3-1/2" woofer and 3/4" tweeter. Since the speakers are identical, they provide a seamless surround effect.

DRAMATIC BASS
The low bass YHT-22 system is provided by the Yamaha YST-SW45 Active Servo Technology subwoofer. It features an 8" driver and 70 watt amplifier to deliver the sonic punch needed for home theater. It is magnetically shielded, so it can be placed near a TV without degrading the picture. A volume control and 50 to 150 Hz continuously variable high-cut filter allow for seamless transitions from subwoofer to full-range speakers.

SIGNAL SENSING
The subwoofer will automatically activate when its circuitry senses an audio signal and will turn off when the signal has ceased for several minutes.

MAGNETIC SHIELDING FOR OPTIMUM SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
All speakers included in the YHT-22 feature magnetic shielding, so they can be placed near a TV or monitor and cause no picture degradation.
