DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
Understanding sound fields
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.
I 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. YAMAHAs 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.

HiFi DSP programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the sound field programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments.
No. 1 Program CONCERT HALL (except China model) HALL IN CHINA (China model only) Features 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. An large, extremely famous concert hall in China with approx. 650 seats on the first floor and approx. 500 seats on the second floor. The clear sound field of this gorgeous and majestic hall is suited especially for classic music. Your virtual seat is near the center on the first floor. This is the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a famous New York jazz club, that seats up to 300 people. Its wide left to right seating arrangement offers a real and vibrant sound. The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was recorded at LAs hottest rock club. The listeners virtual seat is at the center-left of the hall. This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, immediate sound. Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field suitable for background music at parties, etc.

CINEMA DSP

Sound design of CINEMA DSP
Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located right 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, YAMAHAs exclusive DSP processing is added to the Front 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.
L SURROUND SOUND FIELD PRESENCE SOUND FIELD

DIALOG

R SURROUND SOUND FIELD
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 II 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 surround back channel (the surround back channel is outputted from virtual surround back speaker). You can select CINEMA DSP programs to optimize these decoders and the DSP sound patterns depending on the input source.

CINEMA DSP Programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the sound field programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. Select the sound field program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.
I For audio-video sources: No. 4 to 6
No. 4 Program ENTERTAINMENT/ Game MUSIC VIDEO Features This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.
This program lends an enthusiastic atmosphere to the sound, giving you the feeling you are at an actual jazz or rock concert. This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth using only the presence sound field. Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. This effect enhances the experience of watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs.

When playing a monaural source with a CINEMA DSP program, the source signal is directed to the center channel, and the front and surround speakers output effect sounds.

Sound field effects

The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix processing. This units 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 units 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.
I Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect
These programs use YAMAHAs tri-field DSP processing on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front, left surround, and right surround channels. This processing enables this unit to reproduce the immense sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digitalor DTS-equipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear separation of all channels.
Left surround DSP sound field
Right surround DSP sound field
I 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 surround back DSP sound field created from the virtual surround back speaker.
I Dolby Pro Logic + DSP sound field effect
Most movie material has 4-channel (left, center, right, and surround) sound information encoded by Dolby Surround matrix processing and stored on the left and 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 decoding processes.
