Amazon.com Product Description

Take the next step in home theater performance with the Yamaha HTR-5940 digital surround receiver, which boasts 6.1 channels (105 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, 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-5940'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 multichannel video modes such as Spectacle, Sci-Fi, Adventure, and General, each of which creates an optimum sound field for a specific movie genre; 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; and a host of other 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.

What really makes the HTR-5940 unique, however, are the extras, such as a compressed music enhancer that improves the sound quality of MP3s and other compressed formats and a mini input jack on the front panel for connecting MP3 players, iPods, and other portable media devices. Plus, the HTR-5940 not only comes with 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/B or A+B speaker selection, a selectable nine-band subwoofer crossover, a sleep timer, 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-5940 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 two optical digital inputs and 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-5940 measures 17.1 by 6.3 by 15.4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a two-year warranty.

Digital delay in a solid receiver.......2007-02-18

The one primary feature I chose this unit over others was the digital delay. HDTV takes a lot of time doing video processing and the result is that audio and video can be disturbingly out of sync when playing DVD's. Setting the 5940's delay to something like 130ms brings the audio and video in sync for me with my Sony SXRD TV and Sony DVD player. Unfortunately, the delay is buried several menu options down and doesn't have an on/off function, only a time setting. So it cannot be switched off for TV and on for DVD by my integrated remote control.

Other than that annoyance, it is a well functioning system with a great variety of setup adjustments to tailor its performance in a home theater system. There are a lot of preset sound processing settings to pick from with remote control buttons.

All in all, the unit works great for me and the price was excellent for the features. I waited many months for the silver unit to match the rest of my equipment.

A docking station for your iPod that connects to select models of Yamaha home theater receivers / for 4G & 5G iPods

Amazon.com Product Description

There are several iPod docking stations on the market, but few are as convenient as the YDS-10, which is custom designed to work with Yamaha's HTR-5960, HTR-5950, RX-V659, and RX-V559 home theater receivers. Connection is easy--simply plug the dock into the Yamaha receiver's rear-panel port.

Just as impressively, the YDS-10 lets you operate your iPod from across the room using the receiver's remote control and onscreen display, so you don't need to rise off the sofa each time you want to change selections. Connecting your iPod to a home theater system has never been easier or sounded so good. The YDS-10 is compatible with 4th and 5th generation iPods (with click wheels), the iPod mini, and the iPod nano.

Boooo Amazon! I spend $499 on the stereo, $50 on the ipod dock. You 2 -day air the stereo, and then ship the dock ordered at the same time via ParcelPool, which says it should be here in 2-3 weeks. Nice! Good planning!

Yamaha ipod docking station delivers.......2007-09-06

I have been pleased with my Yahama ipod dock. I downloaded all our CDs onto our ipod and now play them on our stereo system by using the dock. It's really nice to not have all those CDs taking up storage space. However, I think all ipod docking stations are a bit over priced.

It a plug and play item no problem. I would add that I would have like to have seen the docking station come in black.

Response from Yamaha on how to get the video function to work.......2007-08-29

I recently purchased this & couldn't get the video to work on my television...I'm including an emailed response that I received from Yamaha...it works great, but you need to set the Video Setting on your IPOD to ASK.

Note from Yamaha...

Please make sure you set up your remote to control the Ipod. Please see
your receiver's owners manual for the instructions. (Using the Ipod.) Insert the Ipod into the dock and turn it on so you can see the menu in the Ipod's screen. (The remote should control the Ipod at this point.)

****Under the video settings on your Ipod you will need to set the TV out to on or ask. (If plan to view videos on the Ipod and via the receiver we recommend you set it to ask.) Navigate to the desired video
clip and play it. It should now display the video on your TV.***

When you are done watching videos and want to listen to music just press the display button on the Yamaha remote control and it will load the menu onto your TV

If you have any more questions please contact are toll free customer service line for assistance. 1(800)292-2982 Hours: Monday Thru Friday 8 AM to 4 PM pacific time.

Guys Help!.......2007-08-25

I'll write my review later, but right now I have a question for those who got this to work. First of all, I got the audio working just fine, sounds great coming through my speakers. However, how do you guys get the song/menu to display on your tv? I've been screwing around for a half hour w/o success. How does the receiver take the ipod data and send it to your tv? I just don't get it. What's happening now is my tv is on but there is no picture, or, if I have my PS3 on, the PS3 menus are up. How do I see the Ipod stuff ?

Here's my setup:
Yamaha V661 receiver
Sony PS3
Ipod Video (30 gig)
Sony SXRD Projection TV

Works well, but mute function needs work.......2004-12-22

I bought this to replace a similar product by GE which
has been discontinued.

I selected the CT10 because it had a mute button which
many similar products do not have.

However, I was very disappointed to find that when the mute
button is pushed, the user hears an annoying and continuous
beep sound.

On the plus side, the unit produces clear sound, and I've
used it as much as 100 feet away with no problems.
People on the other side of the call hear me fine.
I also like that the head set is easily replaceable.
If I ever find a head set with a built in mute function,
I will add that to my CT10.

Product Description

Want a high performance new flat panel TV that does it all? Need a choice of screen sizes to suit your different needs? Samsung's LN-R2050 is a good place to start. It all starts with picture quality, and this set boasts improved contrast, brightness and off-angle viewing.

Amazon.com Product Description

The 20-inch Samsung LN-R2050 is a great multi-tasker for the bedroom or home offices, offering the ability to watch enhanced definition television as well as use it as a PC monitor. The dual purpose pedestal stand can also be used as an articulating wall mount when itÕs folded back. Additionally, the stand can be removed for wall-mounting via optional VESA compatible hardware. Designated as an EDTV, the LN-R2050 displays signals in 480-line progressive (480p) mode, and can also accept 480p signals from video sources such as progressive-scan DVD players. While an EDTV doesn't have enough pixels for a true high-definition resolution, the difference is surprisingly small.

This set has a 800 x 600-pixel resolution, 4:3 standard aspect ratio, 25ms (millisecond) response time, 500 cd/m2 brightness rating, and 500:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) It also offers 160-degree horizontal and 120-degree vertical viewing angles.

It comes with a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner (MTS/SAP) for viewing standard broadcast and cable stations. The digital comb filter minimizes edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Other features include a variable sleep timer, four picture modes, closed caption decoder, V-Chip parental controls, and multilingual on-screen displays (English, Spanish, Portuguese and French). This set is also Energy Star compliant, requiring up to 25 percent less energy than other comparable TVs.

The built-in side-mounted speakers provide 3 watts of power per channel (for 6 watts total), and this set provides five sound modes (Standard, Music, Speech, Movie, and Custom) that allow you to tailor the audio to a specific program. It includes the following audio and video connection options:

Composite (RCA audio/video): 1 input
S-Video: 1 input
Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 1 input
PC VGA: 1 input
PC audio: 1 input
RF: 1 input
Headphone: 1

DON'T BUY THIS TV....IT'S HORRIBLE.......2006-12-28

Hey guys,

Well one would think Samsung is a trusted name, but when it comes to this TV...one wonders. I purchased this TV at local store and they had one in display. I was not impressed at all with the picture quality, but the salesperson told me that it only looks like that because the TV had a poor connection and once I installed it at home it would be perfect. Well, I purchased it and it was horrible, just as horrible as the way it looked in the shop. I could barely read the writing on the TV and I tried plugging the DVD player directly on the TV and it was just as worse.

So I owned this TV for about 30 minutes and returned it to the shop for a full refund. This TV is a rip off, even if it was free I would not want it in my bedroom. The sound is marginal, but the picture quality is embarasing. I was very disapointed in this product and hope you don't make the same mistake as I did. This PRODUCT IS A "ZERO" star.

I would recomend the samsung LNS1952W....it's a 19" but the picture quality is amazing.

Terrible T.V!!!!.......2006-03-22

I just puchased this tv about 4 days ago. The picture quality is TERRIBLE, and everytime i turn the channel I get this popping sound. I tried adjusting the contrast and try connecting it to other cable hook-ups in the house and the picture was still not good. I wouldn't recommend this t.v. it's not worth the money. Buyers beware

Bad picture quality.......2005-09-23

This product's description is misleading. The picture quality is quite poor. I will be returning it.
