Movie Theater Programs

Most movie software has four-channel (left, center, right and surround) sound information encoded using Dolby Surround matrix processing and stored on the left and right tracks. These signals are processed by the Dolby Pro Logic decoder. The Movie Theater Programs are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes.

The six-channel soundtracks found on 70 mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix processing. The DSP-AX1’s Movie Theater 70 mm Programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that six-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital decoder brings the professional quality sound designed for movie theaters, into your home. With the DSP-AX1’s Movie Theater program, you can recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your living room using the Dolby Digital technology.

■Dolby Pro Logic + DSP Sound Field Effect

■Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP Sound Field Effect

These programs use Yamaha’s tri-field DSP process on each of the Dolby Digital signals for the front, left surround, and right surround channels. This processing enables the DSP-AX1 to reproduce the immense sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital equipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear separation of all channels.
