ALL THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR SUPERB HOME THEATER IN A SINGLE BOX
Provides an easy way to purchase a home theater component system. The YHT-15 includes versatile home theater receiver, a pair of Yamaha's NS-A203 satellite speakers, an NS-AP101 speaker trio including an NS-AC2A center channel and a pair of NS-A76A effects speakers. Deep bass is provided by Yamaha's YST-SW40 powered subwoofer.

5-CHANNEL HOME THEATER RECEIVER WITH DOLBY PRO LOGIC AND CINEMA DSP
The R-V503 is a 5-channel receiver providing superb Pro Logic performance, Yamaha's Digital Sound Field Processing, and 35mm Cinema DSP -- and is ready for the next generation of home theater sound: 5.1 channel Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG2.

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 70 watts each to the three front channels and 20 watts each to the rear surround channels.

ACCLAIMED YAMAHA IC CHIPS
Yamaha's YSS-203 chip provides Digital Dolby Pro Logic with full channel separation and no front-to-back bleedthrough as well as 35mm Cinema DSP.

8 DSP/CINEMA DSP PROGRAMS -- INCLUDING 35mm MOVIE THEATER CINEMA DPS
Yamaha's exclusive Digital sound Field Processing for music recreats the acoustic personalities of actual concert halls and other venues, such as the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, Village Gate in New York, and concert halls in Europe. 35mm Cimema DSP multiplies the effects of Dolby Pro Logic and Yamaha DSP to provide the best possible Pro Logic movie theater recreation in your home.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
Ergonomically designed "paddle" remote control keypad allows you to control other Yamaha components, such as CD players, cassette decks, tuners, etc. from the remote control transmitter included with the receiver.

FOUR AUDIO AND TWO AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS
The R-V503 is a versatile receiver incorporating four sets of audio-only inputs and 2 pairs of A/V inputs.

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 receiver's back-panel switches can be set for either high or low-impedance 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.

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

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.

TWO -WAY SATELLITES
Yamaha's magnetically shielded two-way NS-A203 satellite speakers are the main pair for the YHT-15. They incorporate a 4 1/2" woofer and a 1" ferro-fluid cooled dome tweeter and have a frequency range from 20-20 kHz.

THREE-PIECE SPEAKER PACKAGE
Yamaha's NS-AP101 package includes an NS-AC2A center channel speaker and a pair of NS-A76A rear effects speakers. The NS-AC2 is a two-way design incorporating a pair of 5" cone woofers and a 1" cone tweeter. Frequency range is 70 to 20,000 HZ. The NS-A76s each use a single 5" full-range driver. Frequency is 95 to 13,000 HZ. Tne NS-AC2A is magnetically shielded, so it can be placed on top of a TV and will not cause picture distortion.

DRAMATIC BASS
The low bass YHT-15 system is provided by the Yamaha YST-SW-40 Active Servo Technology subwoofer. It features an 8" driver and 50 watt amplifier to deliver the sonic punch needed for home theater. It is magnetically shielded, so it can be placed near a TV without degrading the picture.

SIGNAL SENSING
The subwoofer will automatically activate when its circuitry senses an audio signal and will turn off when the signal has ceased for several minutes.
