Moderately Priced Yamaha 5-Channel Home Theater Receiver With Plenty of Processing

POWERFUL HOME THEATER RECEIVER

The RX-V530 is a powerful and versatile 5-channel receiver, delivering 75 watts to each channel. The receiver provides plenty of processing and a host of Yamaha features.

POWERFUL SOUND PROCESSING

With powerful and varied sound processing, the RX-V530 provides Dolby Digital, Dolby ProLogic II, and DTS Digital Surround decoding. Yamaha's Quad-Field CINEMA DSP allows enjoyment of Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 sound formats in the Phantom mode (using 5.1 channels). The RX-V530 provides 21 surround programs and offers a total of 41 surround environment variations.

HIGH PERFORMANCE LSIS AND OTHER CIRCUITRY

Yamaha's proprietary ASIC LSI, the 32-bit YSS-938, assures top quality audio performance.

VERSATILE VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Eager to take on challenging home theater situations, the RX-V530 has 5 video inputs and 1 video output. Four of the inputs have S-video connections in addition to standard RCA jacks. Two component video inputs and a component video output assure the best possible video signal transmission.

AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS FOR EVERY NEED

The RX-V530 has two audio-only inputs and one audio-only output. Including the audio portion of A/V source inputs, the receiver provides 3 optical and 1 coaxial digital inputs. In addition, the RX-V530 provides a digital audio output.

AUTO-PRIORITY INPUT SELECTION AND AUTO DECODER SELECTION

When a source is selected, the receiver automatically chooses the best quality input connected - digital audio rather than analog audio, etc. The receiver also makes the same automatic selection for decoding, down the hierarchy from discrete multi-channel, to matrix, and then stereo.

SILENT CINEMA

Building on technology incorporated into its world famous "silent" musical instruments, Yamaha has added HRTF and "Virtual" technology to create a realistic surround movie effect using standard, two-channel headphones.

6-CHANNEL INPUT

The RX-V530's rear panel has input jacks to accommodate an external decoder. The receiver is ready for any other 5.1 multi-channel format, should one be developed.

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 amplifier can set for either 4- or 8-ohm speakers.

SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT

The new receiver provides a subwoofer pre-out so that the low frequency signals can go directly to your powered subwoofer.

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.

VERSATILE REMOTE

For easy operation, the RX-V530 comes with Yamaha's remote control featuring built in preset codes to control other audio or video components.

SLEEP TIMER

Permits a delayed receiver turn off. It can be set 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.

MULTI-WAY BINDING POST SPEAKER TERMINALS

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