high range, and with the thin response in the midlow range. The Compressed Music Enhancer is an exclusive Yamaha function that uses our proprietary DSP technology to create harmonics from the remaining music data utilized by the DSP circuit. It focuses on the fact that the music elements that are lost when the original music is digitally compressed are mainly the harmonics. It combines High Frequency Expansion Processing, which improves the unconstrained treble sound, with Low Frequency Emphasis Processing, which supplements the deep bass sound. These processes vividly revive the range, presence, force and dynamism of compressed music.

and has been designed to make it easy to select and adjust desired functions. The RX-V2700 has compatibility with iPod, Internet Radio, PC and USB displays. The RX-V2700 offers six display languages. To further simplify operation, the DSP-Z9 has a second remote control dedicated to GUI use. Selectable 9-Band Subwoofer Frequencies (All Components) These components provide a choice of nine subwoofer crossover frequencies. In DSP-Z9 GUI addition to providing a wider range than remote unit other amplifiers, the steps from 80 to 120 Hz are only 10 Hz apart for more precise selection. This choice of crossovers lets you finetune the audio system by selecting the optimum frequency to maximize amp/receiver/speaker efficiency and also ensures best performance from a wider variety of speakers. Subwoofer Phase Select (All Components) Another feature for optimum bass sound. If bass is weak or muddy, switching the phase of the subwoofer will often improve performance. Dialogue Lift (DSP-Z9, RX-V2700, RX-V1700, RX-V861 and RX-V661) Clear dialogue is important for movie enjoyment, however, when using front and center speakers positioned below the screen, dialogue may not be heard with maximum clarity. The Dialogue Lift function causes part of the front and center channel sound to be output from the presence speakers, so you hear the dialogue more clearly.

Surround Realism
Way Beyond Ordinary Surround Sound Yamahas DSP (Digital Sound Processing) technology is effective for both music and movies. It draws the creation of the most advanced LSIs and the deep understanding of sound and music that we have accumulated through musical instrument manufacturing, acoustic design, and our relationships with artists all over the world. Yamaha DSP uses unique measurement and data storage techniques to capture sound field data from excellent acoustic venues such as famous concert halls and jazz clubs around the world. With dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, 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! HiFi DSP Programs Giving you a front row seat at a famous club. Based on data recorded in famous entertainment venues around the world, these programs reproduce the original sound field of the performance spaces in your room. You have a choice of sound fields, such as Concert Hall that reproduces the rich reverberations of the shoebox type concert halls in Vienna, Jazz Club that conveys the energy of a live club in New York (The Bottom Line), and Rock Concert (The Roxy Theatre) that lets you savor the atmosphere of a rock venue in Los Angeles. The programs are effective in increasing the presence of sound sources recorded in stereo, mainly on CD. CINEMA DSP Programs Power and presence greater than what you hear in movie theaters, available in four programs. These are the programs to choose when you are watching movies. Yamahas DSP expertise eliminates the differences between the acoustic environments of movie (theaters), which are large and equipped with many speakers, and home theater rooms. They enable you to enjoy dynamic surround sound that is closer to what the director intended than you hear in a movie theater. The Spectacle program is perfect for movies with strong visual impact. Sci-Fi is best suited for SFX movies with strong story lines. Adventure provides a stereoscopic sound field that livens up action movies. And for romantic movies, the Drama (General) program offers rich expansion towards the front of the screen to portray the subtle psychology of each character. One touch of a button opens up a new world of movies that you cannot enter without CINEMA DSP.

Advanced PMD Woofer and Midrange Cones In order to provide very fast attack time (sound rise and fall), as well as excellent midrange clarity and bass response, Yamaha developed Advanced PMD (Advanced Polymer-injected Mica Diaphragm) cones that are extremely light, rigid and sturdy. They employ a low specific gravity material called PMP (Poly-Methyl-Pentene) that is much lighter than either paper or polypropylene. Precisely determined amounts of mica and talc are added, which testing has proved contribute to the beautiful quality of sounds in the vocal range. These drivers internal loss characteristics decrease unwanted resonances to achieve the smooth frequency response that results in natural sounding vocals. The midrange driver creates a feeling of presence as if someone is actually singing in the room, while the dual woofer design delivers deep and tight bass. Aluminum Dome, DC-Diaphragm Tweeter The high-performance 3cm aluminum dome tweeter delivers crisp and clear highs at all power levels. It employs a fully integrated diaphragm/voice coil structure called the DC-Diaphragm that eliminates extraneous materials for a cleaner sound. It is extremely light yet durable, and for a small unit transmits an extremely large amount of detailed sound information, resulting in a denser sound DC-Diaphragm field. Tweeter Plate A diecast aluminum tweeter plate isolates the tweeter from cabinet vibration and provides a solid attachment for the tweeter unit, so the high range sound is clear and transparent, with no coloration.

Innovative Cabinet Design One of the keys to Soavos ability to deliver Natural Sound music reproduction is the cabinet design. While maximizing sound clarity and imaging, the designers strived to drastically reduce internal standing waves and produce an expansive sound with an exceptional feeling of depth. Their solution was to create a cabinet with non-parallel sides, divide the woofer and midrange sections by a slanted partition, and strengthen the interior with large, vertical ladder-type bracing. 3-Way Mitered-Joint Construction Yamahas excellence in woodworking is used to good advantage in the 3-way mitered construction of the cabinet joints. This technique ensures extremely tight joints so the entire cabinet behaves as a single unit, providing tight bass reproduction.

Independent Direct Crossover Connections Yamahas total commitment to achieving rich and vivid sound is seen in the design of the Soavo networks. They use the highest quality parts, including Solen metalized polypropylene capacitors of France and large hollow centre coils with carefully selected wire. Furthermore, rather than using printed circuit boards, each connection is individually soldered on a thick wooden board, providing larger, shorter signal paths for maximum sound quality.
