This is a Yamaha RX-V496 5.1 Channel Natural Sound AV Receiver.
It incorporate both Dolby Digital and DTS. Providing an ample 70 watts to each of the five channels and offering a subwoofer output with a low-pass filter and a speaker-impedance selector, the RX-V496 also supplies an input for an external decoder, should you prefer an outboard processor. All speaker terminals are banana-plug-compatible, while the main speaker terminals are large binding posts.
Around back are two optical digital inputs for DVD/LD and satellite/DTV, plus one coaxial connection. S-video inputs aplenty are ready for DVD, satellite, and VCR, with S-video outs for the VCR and the monitor. There are also composite video connections for all of the above and satellite/DTV, as well as left/right composite video jacks up front for video auxiliary. The Yamaha YSS-918 application-specific integrated circuit performs Dolby Digital, Pro Logic, Tri-Field, and Cinema DSP duties, with 20 DSP modes for movies and music. The convenient "set menu" also allows you to tweak the settings of the DD, DTS, and center delay.
It works flawlessly. All inputs, outputs, knobs, switches, etc. work perfectly, and the Display is bright and vivid.
Cosmetic-wise, it has just a few minor scratches here and there, but nothing major.
