A sound field is defined as lhe " characleristic sound reflections of a particular space : ' In concert halls and other music venues , we hear early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound produced by the arlist ( s ) . The variations in the early reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special and recognizable sound quality . YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music venues , and collect detailed sound field information such as the direction , strength , range , and delay time of those reflections . Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit . • Recreating a sound field Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your listening room . The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field . YAMAHA's DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data . The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources and fully encompass the listener . 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 recreations of actual acoustic environments . No . Program Features 1 CONCERT HALL A large round concert hall with a rich surround eft _ ct . Pronounced reflections from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds .

Its wide leli to right seating arrangement offers a real and vibrant sound . 3 ROCK CONCERT The ideal program for lively , dynamic rock music .

Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located right on the screen , the effect sound a little farther back , the music spread even farlher back , and the surround sound around the listener . Of course , all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen . CINEMA - DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks . CINEMA - DSP inlegrates the DTS , Dolby Digital , and Dolby Pro Logic sm'round sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide a surround sound field . It recreales comprehensive movie sound design in your audio room . In CINEMA - DSP sound field programs , YAMAHA's exclusive DSP processing is added to the Main left and right , and Center channels , so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue , depth of sound , smooth transition between sound sources , and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen . When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detecled , the CINEMA - DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound field program for that signal . In addition to the DSR this unit is equipped with a variety of precise decoders ; Dolby Pro Logic decoder for Dolby Surround sources , Dolby Pro Logic II decoder for Dolby Surround and 2 - channel sources , Dolby Digital / DTS decoder for multi - channel sources and Dolby Digital EX or DTS - ES decoder for adding a rear cenler channel . You can select CINEMA - DSP programs to oplimize these decoders and the DSP sound patterns depending on the input source .

• Dolby Surround • DTS ( Digital Theater Systems ) Digital Surround Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording syslem Io reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects : 2 main DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog left and right channels ( stereo ) , a cenler channel for soundtracks of movies with a 6 - channel digital sound dialog ( monaural ) , and a rear channel for special sound Irack , and is now rapidly gaining popularily in movie effects ( monaural ) . The rear channel reproduces sound theaters around the world . Digital Theater Syslems Inc . within a narrow frequency range . has developed a home theater syslem so lhat you can Dolby Sm'round is widely used with nearly all video tapes enjoy the deplh of sound and natural spatial and laser discs , and in many TV and cable broadcasts as representation of DTS digital surround in your home . well .

This is done using a Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the originally designed for use in movie thealers , their effect 2 in the original recording . For the best results , Dolby is best felt in a lheater having many speakers and Digital EX should be used with movie sound 1racks designed for acoustic effects . Since home conditions , recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX . With this such as room size , wall material , number of speakers , and additional channel , you can experience more dynamic and so on , can differ so widely , it's inevitable that there earealth differences in the sound heard as well .

Using the S It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP using a VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and minimal 2 - speaker system that does not include a center allows recording and playback of even more beautiful speaker . images . • PCM ( Linear PCM ) • Component video signal Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog With the component video signal system , the video signal audio signal is digitized , recorded and transmitted without is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB using any comwession . This is used as a method of and Pl _ signals for the chrominance . Color can be recording CDs and DVD audio . The PCM system uses a reproduced more faithfully with fhis system because each technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per of these signals is independent . The component signal is very small unit of time . Standing for " pulse code also called the " color difference signal " because the modulation " , the analog signal is encoded as pulses and luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal then modulated for recording . A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to use the component signal for output . • Sampling frequency and number of quantized bits When digitizing an analog audio signal , the number of times the signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency , while the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric value is called the number of quantized bits . The range of rates that can be played back is determined based on the sampling rate , while the dynamic range representing the sound level difference is determined by the nmnber of quantized bits . In principle , the higher the sampling frequency , the wider the range of frequencies that can be played back , and the higher the nmnber of quantized bits , the more finely the sound level can be reproduced . 56
