digital home theatre technology portable audio compatibility universal dock for ipod for rx-v659 and rx-v559 the optional yds-10 universal dock lets you connect your ipod to the receiver you can listen to your ipod music and watch ipod images and movies on your monitor via the receiver you can also operate your ipod via the receiver s remote unit with the onscreen display and charge your ipod works with ipod nano ipod mini ipod click and wheel front panel mini jack input rx-v559 and rx-v459 a mini jack input on the front panel makes it convenient to connect portable audio players on-screen display rx-v659 and rx-v559 these receivers display operating status ipod operating commands and radio information varies by area on the screen this is very convenient because you can adjust these receiver settings while viewing the screen amplification explained below and the high performance cinema dsp circuitry each of which employs the world s highest grade parts and most sophisticated lsis digital top-art enables yamaha components to deliver superb sound quality and bring out the full potential of yamaha s amazing cinema dsp technology high current amplification yamaha developed high current amplification to overcome two problems common to ordinary receivers the first is a difference in voltage between the power supply and amplifier circuits this was solved by using custom-made high-grade block electrolytic capacitors and a copper grip for onepoint grounding another current drop is generally seen between the amplifier circuits and the speaker terminals to avoid this problem we used an extralarge low-impedance transformer and gold-plated speaker relay contacts as a result yamaha receivers achieve low impedance high current power from input this drives the speakers much more smoothly and dynamically for better sound from all sources including 2-channel audio pure direct rx-v659 pure direct is a hifi listening mode that provides the highest possible signal purity the music signal follows the most direct path and power to unnecessary circuits is shut down direct stereo rx-v559 and rx-v459 direct stereo causes the input stereo signal to bypass the dsp circuitry so the pure signal is output without any processing or data loss whatsoever high sound quality circuit design rx-v659 the rx-v659 features special sound quality circuit design with performance proven in other high-end yamaha receivers a jitter reduction circuit ensures a clear sound image and detailed sound expression capability during playback of digital sources like dvd and cable tv a low noise power supply contributes to a powerful sound with a broad and spacious sound field further assurance of high sound quality is provided by the use of 192khz/24bit dacs for all channels 192khz/24-bit dacs for all channels all receivers these receivers use extremely high performance 192khz/24-bit dacs for all channels they perform accurate sound field high grade dac and reproduction for high quality adc devices multi-channel sources and for two-channel stereo provide outstanding separation and precise musical delineation they deliver superior low level linearity with excellent full-scale performance advanced facilities custom installation compatibility rx-v659 and rx-v559 these receivers deliver audio output to zone 2 zone 2 power amplifier assignability and speaker terminals mean that zone 2 can be fully independent with its own 2-channel power while you still enjoy 5.1channel sound in the main room except rx-v559 ypao sound optimization rx-v659 ypao uses a small microphone and advanced processing technology to analyze room acoustics it then automatically adjusts various speaker parameters for optimum sound quality at the listening position it works in only three minutes and extremely easy to use with ypao you do not have to worry about careful speaker placement and will be assured of professionally calibrated surround sound quality preset remote unit with illuminated input indicators rx-v659 and rx-v559 the remote control unit features input buttons that illuminate when pressed so it is easy to tell which source has been selected selectable 9-subwoofer crossover frequencies rx-v659 rx-v559 and rx-v459 this model provides a choice of nine subwoofer crossover frequencies 40 60 80 90 100 110 120 160 and 200 hz in addition to providing a wider range than other receivers the steps from 80 to 120 hz are only 10 hz apart for more precise selection subwoofer phase select rx-v659 rx-v559 and rx-v459 another feature for optimum bass sound if bass is weak or muddy switching the phase of the subwoofer will often improve performance compressed music enhancer rx-v659 rx-v559 and rx-v459 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 reproduces the original quality of the music 10

sounds like bass and drums enjoy your ipod with yamaha av receivers yamaha av receiver your ipod remote control tv or monitor high sound quality digital top-art digital top-art total purity audio reproduction technology is a yamaha product development philosophy that combines advanced digital engineering and circuit design to maximize audio signal purity it is used in three sections of the amplifier/receiver the high performance digital circuitry and high current osd for controlling ipod ipod photo/video ipod music 4
