Sound field program descriptions

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from almost any stereo or multi-channel sound source. This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.

y

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set “INPUT MODE” to “AUTO” (see page 32) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

Notes

•The DSP sound field programs of this unit are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in the actual concert hall, music venue, movie theater, etc. Thus, you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.

•Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program itself.

■For movie/video sources

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI” can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel stereo sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

Press the PROGRAM l/ hbuttons on the front panel (or press AMP and then press one of the sound field program selector buttons on the remote control) to select the desired sound field program (see page 54).
