Amazon.com Product Description
Take the next step in home theater performance with the Yamaha HTR-5950 digital surround receiver, which boasts 6.1 channels (110 watts x 6) of amplification and a ton of high-end features. The receiver is built around Yamaha's digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design concept, which maximizes digital signal quality and minimizes analog circuitry to ensure the best possible sound. ToP-ART receivers include such defining attributes as ultra-high-current amplification, high-performance 192 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters, an upgraded Pure Direct listening mode that provides terrific signal purity, and an impressively wide frequency range of 10 Hz to 100 kHz that helps digital audio sources like DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD reach their full potential. Movie buffs will dig the HTR-5950's Quad-Field Cinema Digital Sound Processing (DSP), Yamaha's means of simulating the acoustics of a movie theater, stadium, concert hall, or intimate club in the comfort of your own home. The Quad-Field function projects four sound fields into the home theater--a "presence" field in the front and three "surround" fields in the left rear, right rear, and center rear surround speakers, resulting in a powerfully realistic 3-D soundscape. Quad-Field DSP is particularly ideal for newer 6.1-channel formats. The Cinema DSP's 14 surround programs include standard and enhanced modes for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo: 6, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Discrete 6.1, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoders, along with several custom options for movies, music, and video games. Also featured is Silent Cinema, Yamaha's exclusive technology that lets you enjoy multichannel music or movie sound through ordinary headphones, and a Neural Surround decoder that separates and localizes all 6.1 channels with greater clarity than ever before to create an astoundingly detailed soundstage.

As with many superior home theater receivers, the HTR-5950 is capable of component video up-conversion. This function takes S-video and composite signals and converts them into component signals to ensure a high-quality picture on your digital TV from any source. No more switching inputs according to which source you're using--rather, they can all go through the same component connection. What really makes the HTR-5950 special, however, are the extras, such as a compressed music enhancer that improves the sound quality of MP3s and other compressed formats and a specially designed terminal that accommodates separately sold iPod docks, such as the Yamaha YDS-10. Plus, the HTR-5950 not only includes a standard AM/FM tuner, but is also XM satellite radio ready. All you need is a separately sold XM antenna and a subscription to XM satellite radio and you're set. And audiophiles can be assured of the best possible sound when listening to XM radio thanks to its utilization of the Neural Surround mode. Additional features include an audio delay that adjusts to poorly synched dialogue, a selectable nine-band subwoofer crossover, a sleep timer, a front-panel mini-jack input that connects to portable media players, a night listening mode that lowers the volume during loud passages, and a sleek silver housing. With a bevy of digital and analog inputs, the HTR-5950 can accommodate a host of digital sources such as DVD players, CD players, video game consoles, digital satellite systems, and much more. The rear panel options include three optical digital inputs and one output; one coaxial digital input; three component video inputs and one output; three S-video inputs and two outputs (one assignable); three composite video inputs and two outputs (one assignable); and two analog audio inputs and one output. Also present are a 5.1 multichannel input and a set of front-panel composite A/V inputs for quick connections. The HTR-5950 measures 17.1 by 6.3 by 15.4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a two-year warranty. What's in the Box
HTR-5950 receiver, remote control, two AA batteries, AM loop antenna, indoor FM antenna, user's manual.

 A bit annoying but many good things December 19, 2007
First of all, comparing to the price, it's a good product.
But,... there is no HDMI cable holes.
Honestly extra one more channel does not work that well even though listening to 6.1 channel dvd disc. Back middle channel is almost unnoticeable.
I decide to change into 7.1 product Onkyo one even though I haven't use Yahaha product more than 6 months yet. So sad about it. This is actually second Yamaha home theater receiver I had. First one came with the speaker package which was 5.1 channel. i liked it so I changed into same Yamaha 3 years after. Maybe this time I expected too much.
Also if the bass sound is high-for instance gun shot or monster noise or plain crash sound, the sub wuffer cannot stand the sound and begins to crack which means the base sound tone is not stable enough.
XM redio is not that usable since we have to pay 20 dollar and something a month. Who will pay for receiving radio program?
When listening to the radio, sound enhancer is a lot of help. It's powerful than 2 channel stereo. More bass and clear sound.
Ablove all, this product is in between professional and amateur product, I would say.
I still give it a 4 star because using the product is simple and comparing to the price, there are a lot of options in this product. It can be like a bridge going to home theater mania.
Excellent Receiver!! April 4, 2007
I bought this receiver specifically to replace a Sony 5.1 AV receiver I purchased just a few years ago. This is the second Yamaha receiver I have in my home now and the sound fields far surpass what Sony, Pioneer, or normal consumer brands offer. This unit performs video signal switching, allowing me to "upconvert" a few S-video connections to a component monitor output. This works well.
I noticed a large audio improvement after replacing my older Sony receiver when listening to DVDs. I also recommend the 6-channel audio mode for music.
This purchase should last me a few more years and again demonstrates the quality Yamaha brings to the AV market. I do recommend this receiver for the average home enthusiast.
great quality product; great price April 1, 2007
this was my first receiver; it was very easy to setup, sound quality is great.
GREAT PRODUCT, SERVICE PERFECT. January 15, 2007

Nice Amp January 5, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
For less than $300 this is an excellent amp with a good remote. All the AV features you'll need for home theatre use and not difficult to setup if you follow the manual. I'm no audiofile but unless you want to spend $1500 and up for fancy speakers systems this should be all you'll need. I have it hooked up to a set of JBL SCS180-S surround 6-1 speakers and sound is great...amp, speakers and cables for for a little over $500.
