High Quality Sound

Digital ToP-ART and High Current
Amplification

The Digital ToP-ART design concept
combines the latest and best
technologies, parts and circuit designs
to maximize sound quality. High
Current Amplification uses superior
components to achieve high current
power with low impedance from power
supply circuit to speaker terminals.

192kHz/24-Bit DACs for All
Channels

This receiver uses extremely high
performance 192kHz/24-bit DACs for all
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.

High Picture Quality

surround programmes provide full
format compatibility and extensive
listening choices.

Advanced Facilities

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 our exclusive algorithms to enable
playback that improves compressed
music quality.

On-Screen Display

The receiver displays operating status,
iPod operating commands and radio
information (varies by area) on the
screen. This is very convenient,
because you can change the receiver
settings while viewing the screen.

Speaker Design

the speaker is placed near a TV or
other monitor.

240W High Power Input Capacity

Its dual 16cm woofer design enables
the NS-50F to handle a huge 240W of
input power, so you’ll hear the loudest
peaks in movies and rock music with
ideal clarity.

Other Notable Features

• Front panel video aux terminals

• Night Listening Enhancer (Cinema

and Music) and SILENT CINEMA

• Virtual CINEMA DSP

• Audio Delay for adjusting lip-sync (0–

160ms)

HDTV Compatible 3 Component
Video Input Terminals
(Fixed and Assignable)

This model has three component video
inputs instead of the usual one or two.
You can enjoy three different
sources without having to change
connections.

Component Video Up-Conversion

Component video up conversion
(composite to S-Video and component,
S-Video to component) as well as down
video conversion (S-Video to
composite) is automatically applied to
incoming signals.

Digital Video Processing with TBC

Analogue Devices’ high performance
encoder and decoder digitally processes
the video signal to ensure high image
quality. A Time Base Corrector (TBC)
eliminates time base errors such as
curved or bent lines that
should be straight.

Surround Realism

Dual 16cm Cone Woofers and
3cm Dome Tweeter

The cone woofer used in the previous
model in this series has been refined
for higher performance and even the
blend of the cone has been improved.
The soft dome tweeter has a
strong frame for stable performance
and will reproduce vocals and high
range sounds with virtually no
distortion.

High Sensitivity and
Wide Dynamic Range

The NS-50F has an extremely
high sensitivity of 90dB/2.83V/m
and a wide dynamic range,
ensuring accurate reproduction of the
latest digital sources.
