Using Digital Sound Field Processor (Dsp) - Yamaha DSP-E200 Owner's Manual

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor, which allows you to expand and shape the audio
sound field from both the audio and video sources, for a theater-like experience in the listening/viewing room.
This digital sound field processor has 6 programs; 4 programs for digital sound field processing and 2 programs for the Dolby Pro
Logic Surround sound system (DOLBY PRO LOGIC and ENHANCED). You can create excellent audio sound field by selecting
the suitable program and adding desired adjustments. In addition, when the digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO
LOGIC or ENHANCED, the built-in automatic input balance control functions. This presents you the best surround condition
without adjusting it manually.
DESCRIPTION OF EACH SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
PROGRAM
This program is effective on the play of the sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound
source more smoothly and precisely,comparing with the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated.
This program is effective on the play of the sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
Enhancing the "Normal" Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker
ENHANCED
systems of the 35 mm film theater, so widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence.
This program is effective on music videos and excellent in depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, the
CONCERT VIDEO
orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, so letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall.
This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly mono
setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending an
MONO MOVIE
immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono movies, news
broadcasts and dialogue.
ROCK CONCERT This program will suit to rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically.
In this program, the center seems even more deeply behind the front speaker pair, creating an expansive,
CONCERT HALL
large hall ambience.
OFF switch: When any program is not used with the selected source, press this switch. The sound is output only from the
front speakers.
Description of Dolby Pro logic Surround
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND: This unit employs
the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. This system is similar to
professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in movie theaters.
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system, by employing a four-
channel system, divides the input signals into four levels: the
left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize
dialogue), and the rear surround-sound channels (to
characterize sound effects, background noise and other ambient
noise).
FEATURE
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially
available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you
play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home video
system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on this unit
decodes the signal and feeds the surround-sound effects.
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always
effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby Surround.
