Yamaha HOMETHEATER SOUND SYSTEM, AVX-S80 Silent Cinema Dsp, Normal Stereo Reproduction, Notes

■SILENT CINEMA DSP

You can enjoy a powerful sound field similar to what you could expert from actual speakers with SILENT CINEMA DSP. You can listen to SILENT CINEMA DSP by connecting your headphones to the PHONES ( SILENT) jack while the digital sound field processor is on. Enjoy all the DSP program using the headphones. The “SILENT” indicator lights up on the front panel display. (When sound effects are off, you listen to the source with normal stereo reproduction.)

■About 96-kHz sampling digital signals

The digital input jacks of this system can handle 96-kHz sampling digital signals. Note the following when 96-kHz sampling digital signal is input to this system:

–DSP programs cannot be selected.

–Sound will be output as 2-channel stereo from only the front left and right speakers. (There may be sound output from the subwoofer depending on the SPEAKER SET settings on the SET MENU.) Therefore, the level of the effect speakers cannot be adjusted while listening to such a source.
