No Other Surround Sound System Can Match for Rich, Detailed, Realistic Sound.

Going Beyond Conventional Multi- Channel Systems

Conventional 5.1-channel/6.1-channel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that merge to envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects from the presence (front), rear and rear sound fields, you will hear sound with highly accurate localization, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater!

Quad-Field and Tri-Field

CINEMA DSP

Tri-Field CINEMA DSP projects three sound fields into the home theater: a Presence sound field in the front and two Surround sound fields in the left rear and right rear, resulting in a powerfully realistic three-dimensional soundscape. And now Yamaha also offers Quad-Field CINEMA DSP. It adds an additional rear center sound field to the Tri-Field system, in order to enjoy the new 6.1-channel formats, Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES.

CINEMA DSP Programs

One of the main advantages of CINEMA DSP is the large choice of sound field programs available. The basic program for movies is Enhanced, which greatly improves the sound of the surround fields. The "largest" of these sound

fields is Spectacle, which recreates the open feeling of large-scale, epic motion pictures. The Sci-Fi is designed to reproduce all the complex, dynamic sounds of space/science fiction movies. Adventure and General are also included.

Center Graphic Equalizer

In addition to the many audio parameters that can be adjusted, the RX-V440 provides an even greater degree of sound field control with the inclusion of a Center Graphic Equalizer. This lets you finely “tune” the overall balance of the sound field to achieve the optimal imaging for movie sound.
