5-CHANNEL HOME THEATER RECEIVER WITH DOLBY PRO LOGIC AND CINEMA DSP
The R-V703 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 80 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 DSP
Yamaha's exclusive Digital Sound Field Processing for music recreates the acoustic personalities of actual concert halls and other venues. 35mm 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. The R-V703's surround modes include: Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic Enhanced, Mono Movie, Concert Video, Concert Hall, Rock Concert, Stadium, and Disco.

YAMAHA UNIVERSAL REMOTE
An ergonomically designed remote control keypad that has codes for popular brands of TVs, VCRs, CD Players and Changers, DVD players, Cassette Decks, as well as Yamaha products.

FOUR AUDIO AND THREE AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS
The R-V703 is a versatile receiver incorporating four sets of audio-only inputs and three 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
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 FOR MAIN CHANNELS
Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade connectors, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy gauge cable.

FIVE-PIECE SPEAKER PACKAGE
Yamaha's NS-AP16 package includes five magnetically shielded two-way speakers, each incorporating a 5" cone woofer and 2" cone tweeter. Frequency range is 100 to 20,000 Hz. In addition, all five speakers are magnetically shielded, so they can be placed on top near a TV or monitor and not cause picture distortion.

DRAMATIC BASS
The low bass YHT-16 system is provided by the Yamaha YST-SW45 Active Servo Technology subwoofer. It features an 8" driver and 70 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. The sub incorporates a volume control and continuously variable high-cut filter to provide a seamless transition from deep bass through the sound spectrum.

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.
