Yamaha R-S500 - Receiver - 150 Watt (total)

Key Features and Benefits:

• Pure direct
  Music signals travel the shortest possible route, bypassing the buffer amp and tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.
• Continuously variable loudness control
  Your ears lose sensitivity to high and low frequencies at low volume levels. This control lets you turn down the volume while maintaining the optimum frequency response.
• Special power supply for clear iPod sound
  The iPod dock has an independent power supply to prevent operating or charging current from the iPod from flowing into the amp ground signal. This ensures optimum iPod sound quality.
• Balanced system for minimal noise
  An unbalanced interface is subject to common-mode voltage noise, so Yamaha uses a balanced system to receive the iPod signal. This makes a significant contribution to reducing noise in the system for higher sound quality.
• Subwoofer out
  Subwoofer out lets you connect a subwoofer for stronger bass and better overall sound quality.
• Power management (auto power off)
  Auto power off automatically turns off the power after a certain amount of time to save energy.
• Remote controls
  The R-S500 preset remote control is designed to make it easy to operate the receiver's many functions.
• Speaker terminals
  These high grade speaker terminals have silver plating for best connection and outstanding durability. The pitch between jacks is wider for easier insertion.
