Yamaha RX-V992 Natural Sound AV Receiver

YAMAHA Updated: 2007-10-06

TOP-OF-THE-LINE 5-CHANNEL HOME THEATER RECEIVER
The RX-V992 is a 5-channel receiver providing the finest performance and processing available for music and video sound. Yamaha's Digital Sound Field Processing, Cinema DSP, and Tri-Field Processing are all included as are Dolby Surround Pro Logic and Dolby Digital processing.

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 80 watts each to the five channels.

BUILT-IN DOLBY DIGITAL
The most advanced and realistic encoded surround sound for movies. The new Dolby Digital system is a fully discrete system providing six channels of sound. Five are full-frequency channels, and the sixth is a low frequency effects channel.

NEW YAMAHA-DESIGNED IC CHIPS
Yamaha has designed and employed single function IC chips, called ASICs -- Application Specific Intergrated Circuits -- for the RX-V2092. ASICs are more efficient than multi-function chips and provide the most accurate decoding possible. Yamaha's YSS-243 is an ASIC whose single function is decoding Dolby Digital.

TRI-FIELD PROCESSING
A second new ASIC, YSS-245, provides Yamaha's exclusive Tri-Field Processing which applies Digital Sound Field Processing technology to Dolby Digital and creates a true movie theater experience in the home. It develops independent enhanced sound fields for the front signals as well as for left and right surround.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Still the most popular format for VCR movie surround sound and superbly handled by the RX-V992

MULTI-ROOM CAPABILITY
Second zone rear panel audio and video outputs, and separate power control make the receiver ideal for custom installation applications.

13 DSP/CINEMA DSP PROGRAMS -- INCLUDING 70mm MOVIE THEATER CINEMA DSP
Yamaha's exclusive Digital Sound Field Processing for music recreates the acoustic personalities of actual concert halls and other venues, such as the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, Village Gate in New York, Anaheim Stadium, and concert halls and churches in Europe. 35mm and 70mm 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.

ON-SCREEN DISPLAY WITH SPEAKER TEST MODE
Allows you to easily establish, change, and adjust settings from across the room. The on-screen display gives you a visual readout of the receiver's settings on your TV or monitor screen. The on-screen speaker test mode makes it easier to balance speaker output from your listening position.

PRE-OUTS FOR ALL OTHER CHANNELS INCLUDING SUBWOOFER
The front channels, center channel, rear effects channels and subwoofer all have pre-out connections. This allows you to add outboard amplification and direct subwoofer connection.

DUAL CENTER CHANNEL OUTPUTS
You can easily add a second center channel speaker. This is especially convenient for large-room systems or for those using a big screen or projection TV.

FOUR AUDIO AND 5 VIDEO INPUTS
The RX-V992 is a versatile receiver incorporating four sets of audio-only inputs and 5 pairs of A/V inputs. All the video inputs have RCA jacks and S-Video terminals. Includes one set of A/V inputs on the front panel for fast and easy connection.

NEW LEARNING AND PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROL
The advanced remote control with the RX-V992 has learning capability and can be programmed for up to 13 macros, so it can perform a sequence of functions at the touch of a single button. The keypad is back-lit for easy operation in a dimly lit home theater. And the remote control can select speaker set A or B and adjust the subwoofer volume.

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 be set for speakers between 4 and 8 ohms.

LINEAR DAMPING FACTOR CIRCUIT
The advantage of full range, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, damping is that it improves the definition and resolution of the sound output throughout the audible frequency range.

BASS EXTENSION CONTROL
Accentuates the bass by adding a 7 dB boost at around 70 Hz.

40-STATION DIRECT ACCESS PRESET TUNING
Up to 40 preset AM and FM stations can be grouped in five groups of 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.

SLEEP TIMER
Switches unit off, after up to two hours of play in :30 minute increments.

A/B SPEAKER SELECTOR
Allows use of one or both sets of speakers.

BINDING POST SPEAKER TERMINALS
Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade connectors, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy gauge cable.

TONE BYPASS SWITCH
Allows bypass of bass and treble, to provide a flat frequency response without readjusting the tone controls.

RECORD OUT SELECTOR
You can listen to one source while you record another.
