  • Page 38: 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 39: 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.

    REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES The remote control can operate other A/V components of YAMAHA and other manufacturers as well as this unit. To control those components, you must set up remote control with the manufacturer codes. This remote control also has a sophisticated Learn feature. The Learn feature allows it to acquire functions from the remote controls of other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with an infrared remote control receiver.

  • Page 49: Setting The Manufacturer Code

    VCR 1 VCR 2/DVR Note • You may not be able to operate your Yamaha component even if Yamaha manufacture code is initially set as listed above. In this case, try to set other Yamaha manufacture code(s). Press an input selector button or select the component you want to set up.
  • Page 50 • Supplied remote control does not store all the manufacturer codes for commercially availabvle AV components (including Yamaha AV components). Therefore it may not work to operate your AV component. If operation is not possible with any of the manfacturer codes, program the new remote control function with the Learn feature (see page 47) or use the remote control for the component.

  • Page 51: Learn Feature

    Learn Feature If you want to program functions not included in the basic operations covered by the manufacturer code, or a manufacturer code is not available, the following procedure needs to be performed. The possible programming area is the same as a component control area, so the buttons are programmable independently for each source component area.

    I Special considerations when using DTS software The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second room, you will only be able to hear the digital noise sound that could damage your speakers.

  • Page 74: Sound Field Program Parameter Editing

    In each program, these parameters are set with values precisely calculated by YAMAHA to create a sound field unique to the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing the values of parameters; however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound fields.

  • Page 75: Changing Parameter Settings

    Changing Parameter Settings You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory-set parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial settings, you can change some of the parameters to better suit the input source or your listening room. Adjustments should be made with the remote control.

    DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. I DSP LEVEL Function: This parameter adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range.
  • Page 77 I LIVENESS Function: This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. Description: The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces.
  • Page 78 DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS I REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.
