Digital Home Theater Receiver with Full 6.1Channel Operation This high performance receiver brings 6.1-channel compatibility to a more affordable price range. It also utilizes Yamahas Digital ToP-ART design policy for superior sound quality and offers a selection of 41 surround program variations.
Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) is the name Yamaha has given to a design philosophy whose goal is to maximize digital quality while minimizing analog circuitry. The culmination of the best digital engineering and design possible today, it brings together several key elements to create the best-sounding, easiest-to-use A/V components available. In the HTR-5560, Digital ToP-ART can be divided into three categories.

Yamahas Exclusive YSS-938 32-Bit Floating Point Quantization LSI This powerful LSI performs Dolby Digital and DTS decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as all digital sound field processing, capabilities that previously required two or more chips.

Digitally Regulated Volume Control Yamaha combines the best features of digital and analogue volume controls with a high precision digital device (Yamaha Original YAC-520 LSI) that controls an analogue signal. This provides two benefits. First, a digitally controlled device is more accurate for balancing levels between channels and offers much finer control than an analog device. The wide control range is from 0dB to -99dB, with extremely accurate 0.5dB steps throughout the entire range. This wide range and narrow steps mean that greater attenuation is possible, with precision even at low volume levels. Second, an analog volume control permits good signal resolution of low signal levels.

Digital Home Theater Receiver with Full 6.1Channel Operation
Conventional 5.1-Channel/6.1-Channel System vs. CINEMA DSP Conventional 5.1-channel/6.1-channel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that merge to envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects from the presence (front) and rear sound fields (plus rear center with 6.1-channel Quad-Field CINEMA DSP), it will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater!
