Yamaha YHT-485B/S - Manual (Page 2)

SCENE — A New Level of Operating
Ease
Four SCENE buttons make operating the
receiver easier than ever. They are
initially set to default settings for DVD
Movie Viewing, Music Disc Listening, TV
Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a
SCENE button automatically launches a
number of operations that initiate play of
the source controlled by that button.
Other SCENE settings are also available,
such as iPod Listening, TV Sports Viewing
and Action Game Playing. Browsing and
selecting the settings from among 12
SCENE templates is quickly done by
rotating the Input knob. The settings can
be selected for one-time use, or to
replace the original default settings. The
SCENE names can be changed also.
Front Panel Mini Jack
A mini jack on the front panel makes it
convenient to connect portable audio
players.
Initial Volume and Maximum
Volume
Two new volume setting functions are
including on this receiver for additional
convenience. Initial Volume Setting
allows you to set the volume level that
will be heard each time the power is
turned on. Maximum Volume Setting
prevents unexpected loud sounds, for
example if a young child turns the
volume knob.
High Dynamic Power Capability
The RX-V361 receiver is capable of
delivering large amounts of reserve
power for accurate reproduction of the
high energy peaks that are especially
prevalent in digital audio sources. This
prevents clipping and emphasizes the
music’s dynamic qualities.
192kHz/24-Bit DACs for All
Channels
This receiver uses extremely high
performance 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-
analogue converters for all channels. The
DACs provide accurate sound field
reproduction for high quality multi-
channel sources, and outstanding
separation and precise musical
delineation for two-channel sources. They
deliver superior low-level linearity with
excellent full-scale performance under
varying operation conditions.
Wide-Range Frequency Response for
DVDAudio and Super Audio CD
With an extremely wide frequency range
of 10Hz to 100kHz, this receiver is
capable of delivering the full potential of
the new digital audio sources DVD-Audio
and Super Audio CD.
3 HDTV Compatible Component
Video Input Terminals
Component Video inputs offer higher
picture quality, for use with units such as
DVD players that have Component Video
output. The frequency response of the
component video signal is 5Hz – 60MHz,
making it compatible with HDTV
(1080i/720p). Because we know that
many people like to use several high
quality video devices, we have given this
receiver three component video inputs
instead of the usual one or two. You can
enjoy three different sources without
having to change connections.
8 DSP Programmes: 3 HiFi DSP and
5 CINEMA DSP Programmes
You have a choice of eight unique
Yamaha DSP surround programmes to
bring out the full audio potential of your
entertainment sources.
Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded in a digital
compressed format such as MP3,
frequency response suffers in the high
and low ranges. Yamaha employs
sophisticated digital signal processing
with exclusive algorithms, enabling
faithful reproduction of the original
music, for the excellent sound quality
expected from top class receivers.
Night Listening Enhancer and
SILENT CINEMA
The Night Listening Enhancer offers two
modes, Cinema and Music, with three-
level selectability, which will ensure that
you don’t miss movie dialogue or quiet
passages, or lose overall surround
spaciousness even during low volume
listening late at night. The SILENT
CINEMA mode allows private listening
enjoyment of multichannel music or
movies, with an accurate simulation of
surround sound, through ordinary
headphones.
Advanced Facilities
Audio Delay for Adjusting Lip Sync
The latest display devices perform
complex internal processing, causing time
lag in the video signal. It is a small time
difference, but because the audio arrives
first, the viewer may feel that something
is not natural. The Audio Delay function
for adjusting Lip Sync matches the audio
to the timing of the output of the video
on the screen.
Dual 8cm Renowned Yamaha White
Cone Woofers
The dual white cone woofers used in the
125 series speakers are refined versions
of the original white cone types that won
an outstanding reputation in the
legendary NS-10M speakers. They are
both sensitive and durable, and dual
woofers means these speakers can
handle 120W of power.
2.2cm Balanced Dome Tweeter
This tweeter is a refined version of the
balanced dome design used in the NS-
10MMF.
Magnetic Shielding Allows
Placement Near a TV (All Speakers)
Magnetic shielding means there is no
distortion-causing interference when the
speaker is placed near a TV or other
monitor.
Twin Bass Reflex Ports (NS-125F)
The NS-125F bass reflex speaker uses
two ports rather than the usual one. They
are precisely tuned to achieve best low
frequency response and higher attack
speed.
