TOP-OF-THE-LINE 5-CHANNEL HOME THEATER RECEIVER
The RX-V995 is a 5-channel receiver providing 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 decoding and DTS decoding.

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 100 watts each to the five channels.

BUILT-IN DOLBY DIGITAL AND DTS DECODING
The most advanced and realistic encoded surround sound for movies. The new Dolby Digital and DTS systems are fully discrete providing six channels of sound. Five are full-frequency channels, and the sixth is a low frequency effects channel. Dolby Digital is available on DVD and laserdisc. DTS is available on DVD, LD, and CD.

6-CHANNEL INPUTS FOR EXTERNAL DECODER
The RX-V995 is prepared for the future. It has back-panel inputs to accomodate a third 5.1 channel system, should one be developed, or a decoder for the new DVD Audio standard.

NEW YAMAHA DESIGNED IC CHIPS
Yamaha has designed and employed a new IC chip -- YSS-918 -- which handles Dolby Digital and DTS decoding as well as Yamaha's Digital Sound Field Processing, Cinema DSP, and Tri-Field Processing.

25 SURROUND PROGRAMS -- INCLUDING DSP/CINEMA DSP, AND TRI-FIELD PROCESSING
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.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Still the most popular format for movie surround sound and superbly handled by the RX-V995.

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.

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

AUTO-INPUT SELECTOR
Automatically senses and selects DD, DTS, PCM, or analog.

PRE-OUTS FOR ALL CHANNELS INCLUDING SUBWOOFER
Allows you to add outboard amplification and direct subwoofer connection.

I/O PORTS
Input/Output ports simplify use in custom installation.

NEW LEARNING AND PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROL*
The advanced remote control with the RX-V995 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. And the remote control can adjust the subwoofer volume.

FIVE A/V INPUTS, THREE AUDIO INPUTS*
The RX-V995 is a versatile receiver incorporating three sets of audio-only inputs and 5 pairs of A/V inputs. Four sources have digital input capability, and two of these have a choice of either optical or coaxial digital inputs. All A/V sources have an S-video input.

FRONT-PANEL A/V INPUTS WITH S-VIDEO
One of the RX-V995's A/V inputs is on the front panel. It includes an S-Video jack.

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 either 4 or 8-ohm 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.

RECORD OUT SELECTOR*
You can listen to one source and record another.

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

TONE BYPASS SWITCH
Allows you to bypass the bass and treble controls and provides a flat, pure signal.

A/B SPEAKER SELECTOR
Allows selection of either a first set of speakers or a second -- or both.

SLEEP TIMER
Permits a delayed receiver turn off. You can set it 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.

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.
