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. Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.
Program MOVIE THEATER 1 Spectacle
Features This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions). This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film theaters. Dolby Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and digital sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound orientation. The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from the back to the left and right, and toward the screen.

Optimum Space Utilization The use of highly integrated LSIs allows an interior design that maximizes power and sound quality by positioning all the digital processors and related circuitry in one small area. This leaves most of the space open for the power amplifier components: transformers, capacitors, heat sink and so on. This means that these parts can be much larger than usual for greater power, that they can be separated for minimum chance of interference, and that circuits can be arranged in straight lines for maximum signal purity.
Auto Priority Input Terminal Selection and Auto Decoder Selection Digital input terminals are provided to handle any kind of digital input. Functions are programmed to select priority in order of coaxial digital, optical digital and analog when different digital formats are input from the same source. The sound decoder is also automatically selected and processed according to the combination of the format of input signals and the selected sound field programs.

Two Unique Yamaha Features Made Possible by CINEMA DSP
SILENT CINEMA: Enjoy Movies Without Disturbing Others. The SILENT CINEMA mode allows private listening enjoyment of multichannel music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, through ordinary headphones. All the listener needs to do is connect a pair of headphones and they will enjoy an accurate simulation of 6-channel surround sound in complete privacy. They can even select from among the many CINEMA and HiFi DSP programs to vary the sound field. Virtual CINEMA DSP: Surround Sound from Only Two Speakers. Virtual CINEMA DSP will create virtual center and rear left/right speakers, giving listeners the sense of being in a full-scale surround sound field. So even in rooms with no space for rear speakers, they can enjoy the full effects of Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround movie sound formats. If the system includes a center speaker, Virtual CINEMA DSP will provide the rear channel sound.

Conventional 5.1-Channel/6.1-Channel System vs. CINEMA DSP 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) and rear sound fields (plus rear center with 6.1-channel Quad-Field CINEMA DSP), it will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater!

Yamahas unique technology for the creation of sound fields is capable of powerfully reproducing the three-dimensional environment that movie sound engineers aim to convey, in any audio format from monaural to the latest 6.1-channel digital surround. It is compatible with DVD and all other A/V sources. Yamaha CINEMA DSP technology has received a patent in the U.S. (Patent No. 5,261,005).
