RX-V357 5.1-Channel Digital Home Cinema Receiver

NEW PRODUCT BULLETIN

High Sound Quality

192kHz/24-Bit D/A Converters for All Channels

The RX-V357 uses extremely high performance 192kHz/24-bit D/A converters for all 5 channels. They perform accurate sound field reproduction for high quality multichannel sources, and for two-channel stereo, provide outstanding separation and precise musical delineation. They deliver superior low level linearity with excellent full-scale performance.

5.1-Channel 500W Powerful Surround Sound (105W x5 DIN)

The RX-V357 receiver delivers high power output to each of their five channels: two front, one centre and two surround. It provides more than enough power (105W x 5 DIN) to fill even the largest rooms with vibrant music and rich sound effects.

High Dynamic Power Capability

The RX-V357 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 emphasizes the music’s dynamic qualities and provides a sharper sound image.

Analogue Mixdown

The Analogue Mixdown feature lets you enjoy 5.1-channel sound from only four speakers — two front and two surround. The centre channel and subwoofer frequencies are mixed into the two front channels.

Surround Realism

Night Listening Mode and SILENT CINEMA

When you’re listening to movies late at night and turn down the volume during loud scenes, dynamic range suffers and you may miss some dialogue and other sounds. With the Night Listening mode, you can reduce the volume and still enjoy proper tonal balance and dynamic range. The SILENT CINEMA mode allows private listening enjoyment of multi-channel music or movies, with an accurate simulation of surround sound, through ordinary headphones.

Advanced Decoding Circuitry Including Yamaha’s Exclusive YSS-938 32-Bit Floating Point Quantization LSI

The decoding circuitry performs Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding with extreme accuracy. The Dolby Digital/Matrix 6.1 and DTS/Matrix 6.1 allow the decoding of 6.1-channel movies (extra speakers not necessary).

Yamaha’s Exclusive YSS938 32-Bit Floating Point Quantization LSI

Quad-Field/Tri-Field CINEMA DSP and 14 Surround Programmes

Yamaha’s ultra-sophisticated Quad-Field and Tri-Field CINEMA DSP technology creates thrillingly realistic soundscapes in your room. 14 surround programmes provide full format compatibility and extensive listening choices.

Easy to Use

5-Band Centre Graphic Equalizer

In addition to the many audio parameters that can be adjusted, the RX-V357 provides an even greater degree of sound field control with the inclusion of a Centre Graphic Equalizer. This lets you finely “tune” the overall balance of the sound field to achieve the optimal imaging for movie sound.

3 Digital Inputs

Optical and coaxial digital input terminals let you connect highquality digital devices such as a DVD player or certain cable orsatellite boxes.

HDTV Compatible 2 Component Video Input and Output 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 (720p, 1080i). The RX-V357 allows you to connect two different components for a choice of high quality video sources.

Speaker A or B Selection

Speaker A or B Selection gives you the advantage of listening to either of two pairs of speakers.
