Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest multi-track 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. The data of the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence side, so the three dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data of the sound field of a concert hall on the rear surround side, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with much presence. Clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound design 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 Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques. FEATURE Creates the extremely wide sound field of a movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, giving both the video and the sound field incredible reality. Any kind of video sources encoded with Dolby Surround or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions) are ideal for use with this program.

q INIT. DELAY (Initial Delay)
Changes the apparent distance from the source sound. Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective surface determines the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the sound source within the acoustic environment.
P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.

q LIVENESS
This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall. The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity (decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the early reflections decay slowly is termed live, while a room with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay rapidly is termed dead. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the liveness of the room.
LIVENESS (Presence Liveness)
Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front presence sound field becomes.
S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)
Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the rear surround sound field becomes.

Notes If an OPERATION CONTROL key is substituted for a key which has no function (empty), then a command will not be carried out. Depending on your plan, store functions from other remote controllers into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page 74 for the learning method.) While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote controller (for example, if you want to rewind a videotape while listening to a CD), you should open the cover of the remote controller and use the A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys. (If you press an input selector key with the cover closed to change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently playing CD source is canceled.)
Macro operations (Cover is closed)
The Macro feature makes it possible to operate a series of functions by pressing just one key. For example, when you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the equipment, select the CD input, and press the play key to start playback. Using the Macro feature you can operate all those functions by simply pressing the CD macro key. The preset macro keys (the input selector keys and SYSTEM POWER ON/STANDBY keys with an orange mark next to them) are preset with macro programs. If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to page 75 for making a new macro.) Macros can be used only when the cover is closed and the MACRO switch is set to SLOW or QUICK. (If OFF is selected, no macro will function even if the cover is closed.)

Overcoming the Differences Between Movie Theaters and Home Theaters: How Yamahas Cinema DSP Does It.
The use of Dolby Surround enables audio decoding in a home theater according to the same principle as in a movie theater. But a home media room is, of course, far smaller than a
Not Just Great Music Performances, but On-Location Sound Back in 1986, Yamaha engineers developed a way to make precise acoustic maps of some of the worlds most famous performance venues. Using special single-point quad microphones to measure acoustic data, they created formulas, digitally programmed into LSI chips, which made it possible to reproduce these actual sound fields under identical conditions. Yamaha named its new technology HiFi DSP (for Digital Sound Field Processing). Its DSP-1 Digital Processor won acclaim
DSP-A1000, an integrated amplifier with the most advanced DSP technology yet, called Cinema DSP. Through the use of Dolby Pro Logic and Digital Sound Field Processing LSIs, this new technology achieved what was long believed impossible: an enveloping surround sound that brought the ambiance of a movie theater to an ordinary listening room to create a home theater with spectacular audio ambiance. In 1993, Yamaha further refined this formula with the DSP-A2070an integrated amplifier equipped with an all-digital version of Dolby Pro Logic.

HOME THEATER MOVIE THEATER
The Superior Sound of Tri-Field CINEMA DSP
movie theater, where the audience is surrounded by arrays of multiple speakers. Yet amazingly, Yamaha Cinema DSP is able to compensate for the differences in facilities, acoustics, dimensions and other conditions between movie theaters and a home listening room, enabling the viewer to enjoy sound that gives the sensation of being as expansive as in a theater. Thats what creating a home theater is all about.
as the worlds first sound field processor with the ability to store digital data on the acoustic conditions of concert halls, cathedrals and other environments and reproduce these conditions in ordinary listening rooms.
CINEMA DSP: Theater-Quality Sound at Home But Yamaha engineers were already looking ahead to the next challenge. The introduction of Dolby Surround Pro Logic in 1987 gave home users the means of enjoying the same exciting effects of the Dolby Stereo used in large movie theaters from their home theater systems. This system, Dolby Pro Logic, is designed to project dialogue straight from the front, while music and sound effects come from the back and sides, to create highly dramatic and realistic effects. Merging the new Dolby technology with Yamaha HiFi DSP, Yamaha once again astonished the industry with the
Enter the Ultimate: Tri-Field CINEMA DSP The newest advances in movie sound reproduction for the home, Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, use discrete channels to provide an expanded sense of depth, localization and realism. To upgrade DSP technology for use with these systems, Yamaha engineers conducted new tests in the same dubbing theaters used in the making of movie soundtracks and developed an improved processing technology called Tri-Field CINEMA DSP. Instead of one or two, it creates three separate sound fields (Presence, Left and Right), each produced from their own specific sound field data. This results in sound with highly accurate localization, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. Only Yamaha is capable of providing a sound experience with this degree of sophistication.
DSP-A1: A Tour de Force in Audio/Aco

DSP-A1

Digital Home Theater Amplifier
The DSP-A1 delivers nothing less than the worlds finest home theater audio performance. In every single respect, it is absolutely state-of-the-art.

Through the wonders of Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, together with Yamahas own leading-edge Digital Sound Field Processing technology, you will enter a new realm of home entertainment.
Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround. The technology that performs this high-precision, high-quality sound field processing is concentrated on one circuit board with a smaller board attached. LSI System for High Precision Sound Field Processing The processing board has digital input pins for Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, as well as for the A/D and D/A converters. CINEMA DSP effects are based on accurate decoding in Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround formats. Thats why we use the original YSS-249 LSI, in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic decoders. The use of ultra-precision 0.5-micron standard designing provides an even greater level of integration to ensure extremely faithful and precise decoding. Dolby Digital decoding is carried out on a single-chip 24-bit precision DSP core that allows full 5.1-channel decoding. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into the YSS-249 uses full digital processing to improve separation and provide accurate cross-fade with no fluctuations in level movement between channels. The DSPI56009 chip that stores the DTS program developed by DTS Corp. operates at a 93MHz clock rate for the decoding of DTS digital surround. Yamahas superb YSS-214 LSI handles all sound field processing

For those who like jazz, weve built in a new sound-field program that reproduces the sound field of the Bottom Line, a famous New York jazz club. And the Entertainment programs include Disco, Game/Amusement and Party. No matter what type of audio or video entertainment youve selected, youll enjoy it more with the DSP-A1s special programs. High-Power, High-Quality Power Amplifier Most of the massive interior of the DSP-A1 is given over to the power amplifier components, allowing it to deliver movie sound fields and music reproduction with a never-before-heard feeling of presence. The DSP-A1 features an all-discrete configuration for the entire seven power amp channels that are used for CINEMA DSP playback. The surround channels handle Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround recorded with the same quality and range as the main channels, while the five left, center and right, rear-effect left and rear-effect right channels have exactly the same power and quality. The amplifiers power capability is formidable: rated output of 110 watts for the left, center, right, and two rear effect channels, and 35 watts for the
two front effect channels. 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 AC-3RF, optical digital, coaxial 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, while DSP sound field processing is optimized at the same time.

If MOVIE THEATER 70mm, for example, is selected and the input is a DTS signal, the DTS decoder is automatically engaged and a switch is made to Movie Theater DTS Sci-Fi. If the signal is Dolby Digital, then a switch is made to Movie Theater DGTL Sci-Fi, whereas if the input is PCM or analog, Movie Theater 70mm Sci-Fi is displayed. If a LaserDisc is played on Dolby Digital, the demodulator starts up and input automatically switches to AC-3RF. The processing state and type of format that is input and selected is shown on the right side of the front panel display. When a digital source is being input and the effect is turned off, sampling frequency and number and type of channels are displayed.
The DSP-A1 is also offered with a brilliant gold finish.
Macro-Command Remote Control Unit The macro-command remote control unit has a learning function and controls for other Yamaha A/V system components, so additional functions can be operated with a touch of the finger. Data for up to seven macro-commands can be stored in memory for everyday use at the touch of a single button.

The Importance of a Subwoofer
The subwoofer is a vitally important component in home theater systems. Low-frequency sounds, such as explosions, rumblings and scary music, add a lot to movie atmosphere, so full audio enjoyment requires deep, clear bass response. This is even truer with 5.1-channel sound, because the sixth channel is the Low Frequency Effect channel. In addition, without a subwoofer, you'll lose much of the bass effect at low volume levels.
