Here it is — high-performance home theater and music for a highly pleasing price! You get the digital processing power of built-in Dolby® Digital, DTS®, and Dolby Pro Logic™ decoding, along with Yamaha's innovative Cinema DSP™ circuitry which combines Dolby Surround with DSP soundfields for an enhanced home theater experience. Whether it's the rumble of an earthquake, the voices of your favorite actors, or an orchestra intensifying in the background, the HTR-5440 brings your favorite movie soundtracks to life.

If you're into private or late-night listening you'll love Silent Cinema mode, virtual surround technology which provides multichannel effects using ordinary stereo headphones. This receiver handles music beautifully, too. You'll especially enjoy Yamaha's all-channel stereo DSP — it intensifies music enjoyment by utilizing all of your speakers (while maintaining stereo imaging)!

Now let's talk sound quality. Yamaha's packed this receiver with some serious sonic capability. Offering 65 full-bandwidth-rated watts x 5 channels, the HTR-5440 boasts impressively clean sound and puts a walloping punch behind home theater. You also get enough digital inputs (2 optical, 1 coaxial) and analog inputs (3 audio, 4 A/V) for plenty of sources. And you can control everything from the multibrand A/V remote.
