  • Page 36: Digital Sound Field Processing (Dsp)

    The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. YAMAHA’s 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 in a full circle around the listener.

  • Page 37: Straight Decode

    They also provide two modes; MOVIE/CINEMA for movies and MUSIC for 2-channel sources. DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) These programs use YAMAHA’s tri-field DSP processing on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front, left surround and right surround channels.
