This program features the sound field created by the refectory (dining hall)
Church in
of a beautiful medieval Gothic monastery located in Royaumont on the
Royaumont
outskirts of Paris.
This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling, like an
Chamber audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable
for courtly music and chamber music.
❑ LIVE/CLUB
This is the sound field at a jazz club that was in New York. It is in a
Village Gate basement and has a relatively spacious floor area. The listener's virtual seat
is at the center left of the hall.
The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low
Village Vanguard ceiling makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in
the center.
The warehouse resembles some lofts in Soho. Sound reflects off the
Warehouse Loft
concrete walls clearly with a lot of energy.
This program simulates an intimate concert venue with a low ceiling and
homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field delivers powerful sounds
Cellar Club
that make you feel as if you are sitting in the front row in front of a small
stage.
This program creates the sound field of a 460-seat rock music concert
venue in Los Angeles. The listener's virtual seat is at the center left of the
The Roxy Theatre
hall.
This program creates the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a
The Bottom Line famous New York jazz club once. The floor can seat 300 people to the left
and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect
Arena
sounds, with the extraordinarily spacious feel of a large arena.
❑ STEREO
Use this program to mix down multichannel sources to 2 channels. When
2ch Stereo multichannel signals are input, they are down mixed to 2 channels and
output from the front speakers (this program does not utilize CINEMA DSP).
Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you play back
multichannel sources, the unit mixes down the source to 2 channels, and
11ch Stereo
then outputs the sound from all speakers. This program creates a larger
sound field and is ideal for background music at parties.

• CINEMA DSP HD (p.70) and Virtual CINEMA DSP (p.72) do not work when "2ch Stereo" or "11ch Stereo"
is selected.
■
Enjoying sound field effects without surround speakers
(Virtual CINEMA DSP)
If you select one of the sound programs (except 2ch Stereo and 11ch Stereo) when no
surround speakers are connected, the unit utilizes Yamaha's original virtual surround
technology to reproduce up to 7-channel surround sound and enable you to enjoy the
well-oriented sound field only with the front-side speakers. We recommend using
presence speakers in order to enjoy more effective stereoscopic sound field.
• When Virtual CINEMA DSP is working, "VIRTUAL" lights up in the front display.
■
Enjoying surround sound with 5 speakers placed in front
(Virtual CINEMA FRONT)
If you have surround speakers but there is no space to place them in the rear of your
room, you can place them in the front (p.25) and enjoy multichannel surround sound
using Virtual CINEMA FRONT.
When "Layout (Surround)" (p.126) in the "Setup" menu is set to "Front", the unit creates
the virtual surround speakers in the rear side to allow you to enjoy multichannel
surround sound with the 5 speakers placed in the front.
• When Virtual CINEMA FRONT is working, "VIRTUAL" lights up in the front display.
■
Enjoying surround sound with headphones
(SILENT CINEMA)
You can enjoy surround or sound field effects, like a multichannel speaker system, with
stereo headphones by connecting the headphones to the PHONES jack and selecting
a sound program or a surround decoder.
