Compressed Music Enhancer
Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the
performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and
especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible.
SCENE – A NEW LEVEL OF OPERATING EASE
Four SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for DVD Viewing,
Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button automatically launches a number of operations that
initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, XM
Listening, TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings is quickly accomplished by
changing Input via the front panel and watching the on-screen display. The settings can be selected for one-time use, or they
can replace the original default settings. The SCENE names can be changed also.
YPAO Automatic System Calibration
Yamaha’s YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any
room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out
tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the
speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level, etc. Until it achieves the best sound conditions for
your room and you don't have to do anything!
