LIVE/CLUB
The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low ceiling
Village Vanguard
makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in the center.
The warehouse resembles some lofts in Soho. Sound reflects off the concrete
Warehouse Loft
walls clearly with a lot of energy.
This program simulates an intimate concert venue with a low ceiling and homey
Cellar Club atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field delivers powerful sounds 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
The Roxy Theatre
Angeles. The listener's virtual seat is at the center left of the hall.
This program creates the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a famous
The Bottom Line 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.
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 then
7ch Stereo
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.64) and Virtual CINEMA DSP (p.66) do not work when "2ch Stereo" or "7ch 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 7ch 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.20) and enjoy multichannel surround sound using Virtual
CINEMA FRONT.
When "Layout (Surround)" (p.125) 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.
