Audio Delay for Adjusting Lip-Sync
A Yamaha LSI provides synchronization
of images and sound, which is called lip-
sync. The video signal goes through the
video processor circuit before it is
displayed, which takes time, so it lags
behind the audio. The LSI accurately
aligns them and even allows the lip-sync
parameters to be adjusted using the
Audio Delay mode.
CINEMA DSP Programs and
THX Programs
One of the main advantages of CINEMA
DSP is the large choice of sound field
programs available. The basic program
for movies is Enhanced, which greatly
improves the sound of the surround
fields. The "largest" of these sound fields
is Spectacle, which recreates the open
feeling of large-scale, epic motion
pictures. The Sci-Fi, Adventure and
General programs provide the optimum
sound fields for those movie genres.

There are also THX programs*.
* THX Ultra2/Select are the surround programs for
home use, based on the THX Theater processing
developed for movie theater surround sound.
Night Listening Mode
When you're listening to movies late at
night and turn down the volume during
loud scenes, dynamic range suffers and
you may miss some dialogue and other
sounds. By using the Night Listening
Mode, you can reduce the volume and
still enjoy proper tonal balance and
dynamic range. You hear dialogue clearly
and the music and action are just as
exciting (without the screams and
explosions disturbing others).
Enjoy Surround Sound through
Headphones
SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to
hear large-scale surround sound through
ordinary headphones! This is a variation
of CINEMA DSP technology that

Surround Sound from Only Two
Speakers
With just two left and right speakers, the
Virtual CINEMA DSP mode will create
two additional "virtual" rear speakers,
giving you the sense of being in a full-scale
surround sound field. So even in rooms
with no space for rear speakers, you can
enjoy the exciting effects of Dolby Digital
and DTS movie sound formats.
