this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll
feel all the sound of a live concert.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisti-
cated measuring equipment, have even made it
possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of venues
such as an actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow
you to accurately recreate one of several actual live
performance environments, all in your own home.
Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s
advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get
extremely close to the sound of a live performance,
but chances are you’ll still notice something missing:
the acoustic environment of the live concert hall.
Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic
reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has
made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets
you experience the dramatic realism and impact of
Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own
home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its profes-
sional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides
greater effective front and rear channel separation for
a much higher degree of realism than the “passive”
Dolby Surround circuits found in less sophisticated
home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic
Surround provides a true center channel, so that there
are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby
Surround which has in effect only three channels: left,
right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners
seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the
dialog originating from action on the screen while
getting a stereo effect as well.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a
digital signal processing system. This system in-
creases sound stability at each channel and minimizes
crosstalk between channels compared to conventional
analog Dolby signal processing.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic
input balance control. This circuit always presents
you the best surround conditions without performing
manual adjustments.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic with two modes
of Digital Sound field processing. These combinations
expand the surround effect. One is the “EN-
HANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround which recre-
ates the surround effect of the 35 mm film movie
theater. The other is the sound field program ”70 mm
MOVIE THEATER”. Which recreates the listening
experience of a 70mm film theater.
Directional Enhancement Circuit + DSP
The newly featured directional enhancement circuit
expands and focuses the digital sound field by
emphasizing position of sound.
This effect puts you in the midst of the action, while
centering and focusing your attention to the screen.
This circuit is available on the sound field program
“TV THEATER” and “SPORTS”.
CINEMA DSP
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates
these programs are created by the combination of
Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.
