A sound field is defined as the " characteristic 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 artist ( 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 three 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 three 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 effect . Pronounced reflections from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds . The sound field has a great deal of presence , and your virtual seat is near the center , close to the stage . 2 JAZZ CLUB This is the sound field at stage front in " The Bottom Line " , a famous New York jazz club , that seats up to 3 ( X ) people . Its wide left to right seating arrangement offers a real and vibrant sound . 3 ROCK CONCERT The ideal program for lively , dynamic rock music . The data for this program was recorded at LA's " hottest " rock club . The listener's virtual seat is at the center - left of the hall . 4 ENTERTAINMENT / This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city . The Disco sound is dense and highly concentrated . It is also characterized by a high - energy , " immediate " sound . ENTERTAINMENT / Using this program increases the listening position range . This is a sound field suitable for 5Ch Stereo background music at parties , etc . 29

Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located fight on the screen , the effect sound a little farther back , the music spread even farther 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 integrates the DTS , Dolby Digital , and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide a surround sound field . It recreates 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 detected , the CINEMA - DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound field program for that signal . In addition to the DSP , this unit is equipped with a variety of precise decoders ; Dolby Pro Logic decoder for Dolby Surround sources , Dolby Pro Logic lI decoder for Dolby Surround and 2 - channel sources , Dolby Digital / DTS decoder for multi - channel sources and Dolby Digital + Matrix 6.1 or DTS + Matrix 6.1 decoder for adding a rear center channel ( the rear center channel is outputted from virtual rear center speaker ) . You can select CINEMA - DSP programs to optimize these decoders and the DSP sound patterns depending on the input source . 3O

The 6 - channel soundtracks found on 70 - mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich , deep sound without using matrix processing . This unit's MOVIE THEATER programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that 6 - channel soundtracks do . The built - in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional - quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home . With this unit's MOVIE THEATER programs , you can use Dolby Digital or DTS technology to recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being in a public theater . • Dolby Digital / DTS + DSP sound field effect Presence DSP These programs use YAMAHA's tri - field DSP processing sound field on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front , left surround , and fight surround channels . This processing enables this unit to reproduce the immense sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital - or DTS - equipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear separation of all channels . Left surround DSP Right surround DSP sound field sound field • Dolby Digital / DTS + Matrix 6.1 + DSP sound field effect These programs provide you with the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects by adding an extra rear center DSP sound field created from the virtual rear center speaker . • Dolby Pro Logic + DSP sound field effect Most movie software has 4 - channel ( left , center , right , Presence DSP and surround ) sound information encoded by Dolby sound field Surround matrix processing and stored on the left and i ! iiI ! 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 Surround DSP decoding processes . sound field • Dolby Pro Logic IT Dolby Pro Logic II decodes Dolby Surround software into 5 discrete full - range channels ( 3 channels in front and 2 channels in rear ) .

• Dolby Surround • DTS ( Digital Theater Systems ) Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system Digital Surround to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects : 2 main DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog left and right channels ( stereo ) , a center channel for soundtracks of movies with a 6 - channel digital sound dialog ( monaural ) , and a rear channel for special sound track , and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie effects ( monaural ) . The rear channel reproduces sound theaters around the world . Digital Theater Systems Inc . within a narrow frequency range . has developed a home theater system so that you can Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes enjoy the depth 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 . The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit This system produces practically distortion - free 6 - channel employs a digital signal processing system that sound ( technically , a left , right and center channels , 2 rear automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to channels , plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer , for a enhance moving sound effects and directionality . total of 5.1 channels ) . • Oolby Digital • LFE 0.1 channel Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals . gives you completely independent multi - channel audio . The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz . With 3 front channels ( left , center , and right ) , and 2 rear This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a stereo channels , Dolby Digital provides 5 full - range audio low frequency range compared to the full - range channels . With an additional channel especially for bass reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or effects , called LFE ( low frequency effect ) , the system has DTS 5.1 channel systems . a total of 5.1 channels ( LFE is counted as 0.1 channel ) . • CINEMA DSP By using 2 - channel stereo for the rear speakers , more Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround . The originally designed for use in movie theaters , their effect wide dynamic range ( from maximum to minimum is best felt in a theater having many speakers and volume ) reproduced by the 5 full - range channels and the designed for acoustic effects . Since home conditions , precise sound orientation generated using digital sound such as room size , wall material , number of speakers , and so on , can differ so widely , it's inevitable that there are processing provide listeners with previously unheard of excitement and realism . differences in the sound heard as well . Based on a wealth With this unit , any sound environment from monaural up of actually measured data , YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses to a 5.1 - channel configuration can be freely selected for YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine your enjoyment . Dolby Pro Logic , Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater • Matrix 6.1 in the listening room of your own home . The unit incorporates Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby • SILENT CINEMA Digital and DTS multi - channel software that enables 6.1 - channel reproduction by adding the rear center channel to YAMAHA has developed a natural , realistic sound effect existing 5.1 - channel format . ( The rear center channel is DSP algorithm for headphones . created from rear left and right channels , and outputted Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound from virtual rear center speaker . ) With this additional field so that accurate representations of all the sound field channel , you can experience more dynamic and realistic programs can be enjoyed using headphones . moving sound especially with scenes with " fly - over " and " fly - around " effects . • Dolby Pro Logic 11 Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround softwares . This new technology enables a discrete 5 - channel playback with 2 main left and right channels , 1 center channel , and 2 rear left and right channels ( instead of only 1 rear channel for conventional Pro Logic technology ) . A music mode is also available for 2 - channel sources in addition to the movie mode . 56
