background
The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R*
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,
multi-channel audio sources and THX.
* ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Tclec()mmunication Union).
30 +
More than 30 cm (12 in)
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
Tile surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 It) above
the floor.
Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround
speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back
transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the
listening position and at the same height as the surround
speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in)
apart. Ideally, they shoukt be positioned at the same width
as the front speakers.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low-
frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, becanse low bass sounds are not highly
directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.
Presence speakers (PR and PL)
Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front
speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA
DSP (see page 65). These effects include sounds that
filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the
screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place
these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 1 in
(1 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly
inwards, and about 1.8 in (6 ft) above the floor.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical
to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,
however, are obtained with the fill system. Align the front
face of the center speaker with the front face of your video
monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.
Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound
sinmltaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers
using the PR/SB Priority parameter in Manual Setup (see
page 86).

Di-pole speaker layout
Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used
for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please
place the surround and surround back speakers according
to the speaker layout below.
[_7:Tlll [o]=R
: Diqx>le speaker
: Direction of Ihe di-pole speaker phase
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),
"+" (red) and "-" (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the
polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit's speaker
impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 31). If you
will use 8 ohm speakers, use this unit's initial setting lk)r
speaker impedance.
Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is
disconnected from the power source.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let
them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this
unit and/or speakers.
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still
creates interli_rence with the monitor, place the speakers away
from the monitor.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side
by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a
stripe, groove or ridges. Colmect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable
to the "+" (red) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Commct
the plain cable to the .... (black) terminals.
Connecting to the speaker terminals
FRONT terminals
Connect one or t'a.o speaker systems to these terminals.
If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either of
the FRONT A or B terminals.

Some of the speakers commercially available these days
have speaker wire connections that allow bi-wiring or bi-
amplification to enhance the performance of the speaker
system. This unit allows you to make bi-wire and bi-AMP
connections to one speaker system. Check if your speakers
support hi-wiring or bi-amplification. As these speakers
are shipped to you, you will note gold-plated shorting bars
or bridges, one connecting the two red input terminals and
the other connecting the two black input terminals.
Remove these shorting bars or bridges only if you plan to
bi-wire or bi-AMP your speakers.
Conventional connection
It"you "_,ant to connect your speakers as traditional
loudspeakers using the conventional connection method,
connect your speakers using the regular left and right
speaker wire connections and ignore the second set of
terminals.
_)_-(_ tShorting bars
Jor bridges
./
Bi-wire connection
The bi-'Mre connection separates the "_,oofer from the
combined nfidrange and tweeter section. A hi-wire
compatible speaker has four binding post temfinals. These
two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two
independent sections. This split connects the mid and high
frequency drivers to one set of terminals and the low
frequency driver to the other pair.
Bi-AMP connection
The bi-AMP connection uses t'a,o amplifiers for both
speakers. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section
of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the
combined mid and tweeter section. With this arrangement
each amplifier operates over a restricted frequency range.
This restricted range presents each amplifier with a much
simpler job and each amplifier is less likely to influence
the sound in some way. The internal crossover of the
speaker consists of a LPF (low pass filter) and a HPF (high
pass filter). As its name implies, the LPF passes
frequencies below a cutoff and reiects frequencies above
the cutoff frequency. Likewise, the HPF passes
frequencies above its cutoff.
Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low
pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.
To activate the bi-AMP colmections, set BI-AMP to ON in
ADVANCED SETUP (see page 102).
To make the bi-AMP connections, use the FRONT and
SURROUND BACK terminals as shown below.
Renmve the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low
pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.
To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A on the
front panel so that SPA lights up in the front panel display.

This receiver employs YAMAHA Parametric Room
Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you
avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and
achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied
optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound
your speakers produce in your actual listening
environment.
Connect the supplied optimizer microphone
to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front
panel.
Please be advised that it is normal lot loud test tones to be
output during the AUTOSETUP procedure.
If the AUTO SETUP procedure stops and error messa,qes
appear on the screen, lollow the troubleshooting on page 126.
YPAO performs the following checks and makes
appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible
sound from your system.
Wiring
Checks "Milch speakers are connected and the polarity of
each speaker.
Distance
Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening
position and adjusts the timing of each channel.
Size
Checks the speaker's frequency response and sets the
appropriate low t_equency crossover for each channel.
Equalizing
Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel's parametric
equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and
create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly
important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers
for some channels or have a room with unique sonic
characteristics.
YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three
parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the
seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly
precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.
Level
Checks and adjusts the volume level of each speaker.
After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure
to disconnect the optimizer microphone.
The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.
Keep it away from direct sunlight.
Do not place it on top of this unit.
Place the optimizer microphone on a flat
level surface with the omni-directional
microphone head upward, at your normal
listening position.
It"possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer
mic at the same height as your ears woukt be when
yon are seated in your listening position.

Notes on Dialogue Normalization
(Dial Norm)
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolhy
Digital and DTS, which is used to keep the programs at
the same average listening level so the user does not have
to change the volmne control between Dolby Digital and
DTS programs. When playing back software which has
been encoded in Dolby Digital and DTS, sometimes yon
may see a brief message in the front panel display which
will read "Dial Norm X dB" (X being a numeric value).
The display is showing how the program level relates with
THX calibration level. If yon want to play the program at
calibrated theatrical levels, yon may wish to adiust the
voh]me.
i..._.L <:i .L i "i L._ {""i =i " " "?" ="i'L.:i{::=
For example, if you see the following message:
"Dial Norm + 4 dB" in the front panel display, to keep the
overall output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn
down the volume control by 4dB. However, unlike a
movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you
can choose your preferred vohnne setting for best
enJoyment.
Choose a sound field program based on your listening
preli:rence, and not on the name of the program.

A significant factor that creates the rich, fidl tones of a live
instrument are the nmltiple reflections from the walls of
the room. In addition to making the sound live, these
reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated,
and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.
Elements of a sound field
In any environnlent, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears from the player's instrument, there are
two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to
make up the sound field:
Early reflections
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms
- 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one
surface only -- for example, from the ceiling or a wall.
Early reflections help add clarity to the direct sound.
Reverberations
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface -- walls, ceiling, the back of the room -- so
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic afterglow. They are non-directional, and lessen the
clarity of the direct sound.
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent
reverberation taken together help us to determine the
subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this
information that the digital sound field processor
reproduces in order to create sound fiekts.
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you
would be able to create your own listening environment.
The acoustics in your room coukt be changed to those of a
concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at
all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly
what YAMAHA has clone with the digital sound field
processoc
You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset
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. The following
parameters are not always found in every program.

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from
ahnost any sound source (stereo or nmlti-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.
Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous
concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.
--'4:--
The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital. DTS. and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to
AUTO (see page 44) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signah
This unit's DSP sound field programs are recrealions (51 real-world acoustic environmeals made from precise measuremenls taken in
aclual halls, etc. Thus you may notice variations in Ihe strength (51 the reflections coming fi'om the front, back. left and righl.
Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening prelerence, and nol purely on the name ol the program ilself.
You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked MULTI
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked 2-CH can be used with 2-channel
(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.
Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound fieM parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your
listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.
DSP Level (DSP level)
Function: Adjusts tile level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range.
Description: Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP
effect level relative to the level of the direct sound.
Control Range: -6 dB to +3 dB
Init. Delay (Initial delay)
Function: Changes the apparent distance the sound source is from the reflection face by adjusting the dehty
between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.
Description: The snmller the value, the closer the reflection face seems to the sound source. The larger the value, the
farther it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a large value.
Control range: 1 to 99 ms

Room Size (Room size)
Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the snrround sound field. The larger the value, the htrger the surround
sound field becomes.
Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between
the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the
reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from
one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

Liveness
Function:
Description:
Control range:
(Liveness)
Adjusts the reflectivity of the v*irtual walls ill the hall by changing tile rate tit which the early reflections
decay.
The early reflections of a source sound decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall
surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room vdth acoustically absorbent surfaces
is referred to as dead, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as live.
The LIVENESS parameter lets you a@lst the early reflection decay rate, and thus the liveness of the
room.

ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes
the sound fed to 2 side and 2 back surround speakers to
provide the optimal surround sound experience. When you
set up your home theater system using all eight speaker
outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right, Surround
Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and
Subwoofer) placing the two Surround Back speakers close
together facing the front of the room will provide the
largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to
place the Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to
go THX Audio Set-up screen and choose the setting that
most closely corresponds to the speaker spacing, which
will re-optimized the surround sound-field.
ASA is used in three new modes: THX Select2 Cinema,
THX Music Mode and THX Games Mode.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives
you completely independent nmlti-channel audio. It
provides 5 full-range audio channels; 3 front channels
(left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels.
An additional channel especially for bass effects, called
LFE (low frequency effect) is also provided giving the
system a total of 5.l-channels (LFE is counted as a 0.1
channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround
speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and
surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby
Surround. The wide dynamic range (maxinmm to
minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 fldl-range
channels and the precise sound orientation generated
using digital sound processing provide listeners with a
previously unheard of excitement and realism.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-band'a, idth output
channels from 5. l-channel sources. This is clone by using
a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the
2 in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital
EX should be used with movie sound tracks recorded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel,
you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving
sound especially with scenes that have flyover and fly-
around effects.
Dolby Pro Logic Hx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling 6.1 or
7.1 nmlti-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-
channel sources. There is a Music mode for nmsic, a
Movie mode for movies and a Game mode for games.
Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog
(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces
sound within a narrow frequency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as
well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality
for nmlti-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fidly
backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. 96 refers to
a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz
sampling rate). 24 refers to 24-bit word length.
DTS 9(,/24 offers sound quality transparent to the original
96/24 master, and 96/24 5. l-channel sound with
fidl-quality full-motion video for nmsic programs and
motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy
the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of
DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces
practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically,
left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus
an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5. l-
channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that
enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding a surround
back channel to the existing 5.1-channel format.
ITU-R
ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R
recommends a standard speaker placement which is used
in many critical listening rooms, such as mastering
studios.
128
background
LFE0.1 channel
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is corrnted as 0.1 because it only enforces a
low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.1 -channel systems.
Neo:6
Neo:6 decodes conventional 2-channel sources for
6 channel playback by. It enables playback with the full-
range channels with higher separation comparable to
digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available;
Music mode t_r playing nmsic sources and Cinema mode
for movies.
PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
andio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for pulse code
modulation, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
Sampling frequency and number of
quantized bits
When digitizing an amtlog audio signal, the number of
times the signal is sampled per second is called the
sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when
converting the sound level into a turmeric value is called
the nmnber of quantized bits.
The range of rates that can be played back is determined
based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range
representing the sound level difference is determined by
the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the
sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies
that can be played back, and the higher the number of
quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.

THX Cinema processing
THX is an exclusive set of standards aud technologies
established by the world-renowned fihn production
company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas'
personal desire to make your experience of the fihn
soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home
theater, as faithfid as possible to what the director
intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters
called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back
in movie theaters with sinfilar equipment and conditions.
This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto
Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for
playback in a small home theater environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to
accurately translate the sound from the movie theater
environment into the home, correcting the tonal and
spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX
indicator is on, THX features are arrtomatically added in
Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).
Adaptive decorrelation
Ill a movie theater, a large nunrber of surrourld speakers
help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but
in a home theater there are usually only two speakers. This
can make the surround speakers sound like headphones
that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround
sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you
move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive
decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time
and phase relationship with respect to the other surround
channel. This expands the listening position and
creates - with only two speakers - the same spacious
snrround experience as in a movie theater.
Re-equalization
Tire tonal bahmce of a fihn soundtrack will be excessively
bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment
in the home because fihn soundtracks were designed to be
played back in large movie theaters using very different
professional equipment. Re-equalization restores the
correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a
small home environment.
Timbre matching
The human ear changes our perception of sound
depending on the direction from which it is coming. In a
movie theater, there is an array of surround speakers so
that the surround information is all around you. In a home
theater, you use only two speakers located to the side of
your head. The timbre matching feature filters the
information going to the surround speakers so that they
more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound
confing from the front speakers. This ensures seamless
panning between the front and surround speakers.

THX Games Mode
For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the
THX Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX
ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all
5.1 and 2.0 encoded game soumes such as analog, PCM,
DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game
audio surround information, providing a full 360 degree
playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it
gives you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the
surround field.
THXMusic Mode
For the replay of nmlti-channel nit.isle tile THX Music
Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA
processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1
encoded music sources such as DTS, Dolby Digital and
DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.
THX Select2
Before any home theater component can be THX Select2
certified, it must incorporate all the features described in
THX Cinema processing and also pass a rigorous series of
quality and performance tests. Only then can a product
feature the THX Select2 logo, which is your guarantee
that the Home Theater products yon purchase will give
you superb performance t_r many years to come.
THX Select2 requirements cover every aspect of the
product including power amplifier and pre-ainplifier
performance and operation, and hundreds of other
parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
THX Select2 Cinema mode
THX Select2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all
8 speakers giving you the best possible movie watching
experience. In this mode ASA processing blends the side
surround speakers and back surround speakers providing
the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround
sounds.
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital
Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be antomatically
detected in THX Select2 Cinema mode if the appropriate
flag has been encoded.
Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing
the digital flag that allows automatic switching. If you
know that the movie that yon are watching is encoded in
Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround
EX playback mode; otherwise, THX Select2 Cinema
mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum
replay.
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX-Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint
development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are
able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added
during the mixing of the program. This channel, called
Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in
addition to the currently available front left, front center,
front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer
channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity
for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings
more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization
than ever before.
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital
Surround EX technology, when released into the home
consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the
packaging. A list of movies created using this technology
can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com.
A list of available DVD software titles encoded with this
technology can be found at www.thx.com.
Only receiver and controller products bearing the
THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX
mode, faithfidly reproduce this new technology in the
home.
This product may also engage the THX Surround EX

not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such cases the
information delivered to the Surround Back channel will
be program dependent and may or may not be pleasing
depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of
the individual listener.

Component video signal
With tile component video signal system, tile video signal
is separated into the Y signal for the hnninance and the
PB and Pit signals for the chrominance. Color can be
reproduced more faithfully with this system because each
of these signals is independent. A monitor with
component input jacks is required in order to use the
component signal for output.
Composite video signal
With tile composite video signal system, the video signal
is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;
color, hnninance and synchronization data. A composite
video jack on a video component transmits these three
elements combined.
S-video signal
With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally
transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted
as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the
chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the
S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss
and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful
images.
CINEMA DSP
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were
originally designed Ibr use in movie theaters, their effect
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed
for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room
size, wall nmterial, number of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it's inevitable that there are differences in
the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured
data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original
sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic,
Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and
audio experience of a movie theater in the listening room
of your own home.
SILENT CINEMA
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect
DSP algorithm for headphones.
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations of all the sound fiekt
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.
Virtual CINEMA DSP
YAMAHA has developed :t Virtual CINEMA DSP
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field
snrround effects without any surround speakers by using
virtual surround speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a
minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center
speaker.

This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic
Optimizer (YPAO) technology, together with the
Parametric EQ settings (see page 84), to optimize the
frequency characteristics of its parainetric equalizer to
match your listening environment. YPAO uses a
combination of the following three parameters
(Frequency, Gain and Q factor) to provide highly precise
adjustment of the frequency characteristics.
Frequency
This parameter is adjustable in one-third octave
increments between 63 Hz and 16 kHz.
_=20 dB
Gain
This parameter is adjustable in increments of 0.5 riB
between 20 and +6 dB.
_+6dB
Q factor
The width of the specified frequency band is referred to as
the Q factor. This parameter is adjustable between the
values 0.5 and 10.

YPAO adjusts frequency characteristics to suit your
listening requirements using a combination of the above
three parameters (Frequency, Gain and Q factor) for each
equalizer band in this unit's parametric equalizer. This unit
has 7 equalizer bands t_r each channel.
The use of multiple equalizer bands enables more precise
adjustments of frequency characteristics (as in Figure 2).
This is not possible using only a single equalizer band (as
in Figure 1).
