CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. 1 2 To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Install this sound system in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place ­ away from direct sunlight, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, and/or cold. Allow ventilation space of at least 30 cm on the top, 20 cm on the left and right, and 20 cm on the back of this unit. Locate this unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, or transformers to avoid humming sounds. [. . . ] Reverberations These are caused by reflections from more than one surface (for example, from the walls, and the ceiling) so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic afterglow. Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberations 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 fields. 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 could be changed to those of a concert hall, a dance floor, or a room with virtually any size at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field processor. Selecting sound field programs SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS Notes · Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program. · When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with the corresponding input source. · Sound field programs cannot be selected when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 38). · Sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz (except for DTS 96/24 signals) are sampled down to 48 kHz and then sound field programs are applied.

English 57 SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS Sound field program descriptions This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from almost any stereo or multi-channel sound source. 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. y The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set "INPUT MODE" to "AUTO" (see page 35) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal. Notes · The DSP sound field programs of this unit are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in the actual concert hall, music venue, movie theater, etc. Thus, you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right. · Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program itself. For movie/video sources 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. y Rotate the PROGRAM selector on the front panel (or set the component selector switch to AMP and then press one of the sound field program selector buttons on the remote control) to select the desired sound field program (see page 57). Remote control button 1 Sound field program Features Downmixes multi-channel sources to 2 channels or plays back 2-channel sources as they are. Creates an enthusiastic atmosphere where you can feel as if you are in an actual jazz or rock concert. Reproduces the sound environment of a large concert hall using the surround sound field to enhance your experience of watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. Reproduces monaural video sources (such as old movies) at the optimum reverberation level to create sound depth using only the presence sound field.
