  • Page 27: Digital Sound Field Programs

    2-2. DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS This unit has 16 programs for digital sound field processing, 4 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 12 programs for Audio/Video sources including sources encoded with Dolby Pro Logic surround. Many of the programs contain various parameters that can be adjusted to the listener’s taste.
  • Page 28: Descriptions Of The Sound Field Programs

    2-6. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS The following list gives brief descriptions 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. The data for them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.
  • Page 29 5. CONCERT VIDEO: This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that you are in the midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert. The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded.
  • Page 30 9. TV THEATER: The data of the sound field of a relatively narrow space is used for the front presence side. A moderately sized spatial sound field without excessive sound extension and reverberations gives reality to the characters in a drama. The data of the sound field of an opera house is used for the rear surround side.
  • Page 31 Programs No. 13 through No. 16 reproduces video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are Dolby Surround encoded and bear the “DOLBY SURROUND” logo. 13. 70 mm MOVIE THEATER 1: This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest movies.
  • Page 32: Creating Your Own Sound Fields

    In each program, those parameters are preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing values of parameters, however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound fields.
  • Page 33 Each sound field program has a set of parameters that allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to create precisely the effect you want. These parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or other listening environment.
  • Page 34: Descriptions Of The Digital Sound Field Parameters

    3-2. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. INIT DLY (Initial Delay) How it Affects the Sound: 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.
  • Page 35 REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) How it Affects the Sound: The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. What it Does: Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (@ 1 kHz).
  • Page 36: Troubleshooting

    PROBLEM Power does not come on. Hum. No sound. No sound from the effect speakers. No sound from the center speaker. The sound suddenly goes off. The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted DSP parameters or other settings on this unit cannot be changed.
