Yamaha HTR-5140 USING THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP), BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

USING THE 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 outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to) and adding any desired adjustments.

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital re-creations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields were recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

Note

The channel level balance between the left and right rear speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound fields are a re-creation of actual acoustic environments.
