Sound field programs

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.

•The Yamaha HiFi DSP sound field programs recreate real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in actual concert halls, music venues, movie theaters, etc. Thus, you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.

•You can change sound field parameters. See page 53 for details.

Selecting sound field programs

Rotate the 6PROGRAM selector (or set the operation mode selector to LAMP and then press one of the sound field selector buttons (U) repeatedly).

The name of the selected sound field program appears in the front panel display and in the OSD.

Notes

•When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with the corresponding input source.

•Sound field programs cannot be selected when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 38).

•When you play back DTS 96/24 sources with any sound field program, this unit applies the selected program without activating the DTS 96/24 decoder.

•Sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz are sampled down to 48 kHz or lower and then sound field programs are applied.

•When the sampling frequency of the input sources are higher than 96 kHz, this unit does not apply any sound field programs.

Select a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program, etc.
