BASIC OPERATION

Using digital sound field processor (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Digital decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with DTS. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined operation of YAMAHA DSP and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround or DTS.

This unit has 12 programs for digital sound field processing; 7 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 5 programs for Audio/Video sources. In addition, each program has two subprograms. All programs contain various parameters that can be adjusted to the listener’s taste.

For details about digital sound field programs, refer to pages 45 to 49.
