With the THX Select-certified HTR-5790 you get the convenience of DVD-Audio/SACD-ready six-channel analog inputs alongside the latest 6.1- and 7.1-channel surround processing, multiroom control, and premium Yamaha sound technologies. When hooked up with the digital-audio output from a DVD-Video player or digital satellite receiver, the 110 watts-per-channel HTR-5790 handles 5.1-channel surround decoding for both major formats, Dolby Digital and DTS. In addition, the receiver processes Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24. The extended-surround formats create even more expansive soundfields through a center-rear surround channel, for which THX suggests using two separate speakers. The result is seven discrete full-range channels in addition to the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel: front left/right, surround left/right, front center channel, and a pair of rear-center channels. A key benefit from a Yamaha receiver, of course, is Yamaha's proprietary signal processing, including Cinema DSP (digital soundfield processing), which creates aural "imaging" that not only makes your home sound like a theater, but also sounds better than most movie theaters. Based on a wealth of measured data in real studios and halls, Cinema DSP is designed to bring out the full potential of movie sound mixes, reproducing them the way directors and sound engineers intended. And, when you're listening to multichannel presentations late at night, you'll appreciate Silent Cinema, which simulates 5.1-channel listening through a pair of ordinary 2-channel headphones (not included). Silent Cinema uses unique parameters for each soundfield to ensure accurate headphone representations of each soundfield. The receiver comes outfitted with YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) and a dedicated microphone to help you establish the best possible sound at your primary listening position. The optimizer uses the microphone to "listen" to the sound from the speakers and determine, based on its test-signals, how best to equalize the sound for your room. Corrections include speaker/subwoofer phase relationships, speaker/subwoofer distance measurements (corrects for differences down to 5 cm), frequency response (measures and optimizes each speaker's response using a parametric equalizer), and speaker level (measures and aligns the relative volume levels of all speakers). Then there's the six-channel DVD-Audio/SACD-ready inputs mentioned above. Due to anti-piracy measures, DVD-Audio and SACD players perform their own digital-to-analog conversion, passing high-resolution analog signals on to your amplifier. (And analog, after all, is what your amp feeds your speakers.) DVD-Audio and SACD can each deliver up to six channels of discrete, full-frequency sound at greater-than-CD resolution (in the case of DVD-A, that means 24 bits, 96 kHz sampling rate versus 16 bits, 44.1 kHz for CD). In stereo or surround, the sound from DVD-Audio and SACD is packed with detail, yet smoother and sweeter from than the sound from even the best standard CD players. The HTR-5790 accommodates decoded DVD-A/SACD signals and routes them to the appropriate speakers in your surround system. The receiver offers seven audio/video input connections (all with composite-/S-video), eight fixed and assignable digital-audio inputs (great for DSS, CD, laserdisc, gaming consoles, or minidisc), and front-panel input connections with digital-audio jacks for your camcorder or other spontaneous hookup. The receiver's video circuitry is high-definition ready, too (60 MHz bandwidth), and it will upconvert composite- and S-video signals to component-video to simplify TV hookup. Custom-installation features include multi-sourced zone 2 and zone 3 audio outputs, an assignable +12V trigger output, main/zone 2/zone 3 independent power control command, an IR blaster port, extended IR code compatibility, and zone 2 speaker output. Last, but certainly not least, the HTR-5790 benefits from Yamaha's Direct ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) build philosophy. The culmination of the best digital engineering and design possible, it brings together several key elements to create the best-sounding, easiest-to-use A/V components available. What's in the Box Receiver, remote control, four AAA batteries, microphone for YPAO, an AM loop antenna, an indoor FM antenna, a warranty card, and a user's manual. Customer Review Best Customer Review : I bought this a little over a year ago, and have been very pleased with its performance. I wanted to start off right when updating my very antiquated Dolby box receiver and go to DTS-ES and 5.1 EX with THX certification. When shopping around, I quickly narrowed my choice to those receivers offering component up-conversion. (Although now, 2 component inputs is not enough, but newer Yamaha models support 3 and full HDMI- up-conversion). After further research it became quite clear that this receiver is very versatile and has the ability to assign I/O match-ups... ensuring that it should exceeded almost everyone's needs. The footprint of it's connections is very versatile but also makes hooking many devices up a tedious procedure. One of the final things I noticed that solidified this as my choice to go with was an observation I made. If you go to almost any Best Buy store and visit their Home Theater demonstration section, you'll notice something... Almost all of their setups are being run off a Yamaha head unit. Most are the Professional model line, but other research I found stated that the guts of their pro and standard line are nearly identical. If they are reliable enough for Best Buy to use and have abused in their showrooms day in and day out, then that should speak volumes over the competitor receivers. All in all I've been very pleased... If you get this receiver or one of the newer models, do take the time to read the manual once or twice through. It will shed light on many of the powerful features available and make installation all the easier. Cheers Customer Review 2 : Awesome A/V receiver - Kent Taylor Jr. - Houston,TX This is the second Yamaha reciever that I have owned. I replaced my other one since it was bought right before dolby digital became available. The Yamaha HTR 5790 is incredible in every respect. The surround effects that are put out with the 7 speakers plus the powered subwoofer that I have connected to it are fantastic. I have it in a 18'x18' room with small speakers but it fills the room as though it were in a theatre. I was hesitant on replacing my other RXV870 model thinking that there may not be a noticable sound difference but I am glad I did. In addition to the audio output being awesome, the receiver not only up-converts s-video signal to component video signal, to my surprise it up-converts RCA input to component video input. I was not as concerned about power ratings as a couple of the other reviews but I can say I cannot handle more than 50% of its power (volume set at 0 dbs) when my satellite receiver is being operated.
