Four SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for DVD Movie Viewing, Music Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button automatically launches a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening,TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings from among 12 SCENE templates is quickly done by rotating the Input knob. The settings can be selected for one-time use, or to replace the original default settings. The SCENE names can be changed also.

Front Panel Mini Jack

A mini jack on the front panel makes it convenient to connect portable MP3 players.

9 Selectable Subwoofer Crossover Frequencies

The YHT-185 receiver 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.

Initial Volume and Maximum Volume Two new volume setting functions are including on this receiver for additional convenience. Initial Volume Setting allows you to set the volume level that will be heard each time the power is turned on. Maximum Volume Setting prevents unexpected loud sounds, for example if a young child turns the volume knob.

High Sound Quality

5.1-Channel, Total 600W Powerful Surround Sound

The YHT-185 receiver delivers high power output to each of their 5.1 channels: two front, one centre, two surround and one subwoofer. It provides more than enough power (100W x 5 channels + 100W subwoofer) to fill even the largest rooms with vibrant music and rich sound effects. The subwoofer has an advanced design for massive power and clear, crisp bass.

High Performance Speakers

The YHT-185 satellite speakers are 2-way design for high sound quality and full surround sound enjoyment. Their new-design 8cm woofer and 1.9cm balanced-dome tweeter deliver superior clean sound.

High Picture Quality

3 HDTV Compatible Component Video Input 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 (1080i/720p). Because we know that many people like to use several high quality video devices, we have given this receiver three component video inputs instead of the usual one or two. You can enjoy three different sources without having to change connections.
