WAV HDMI Windows standard audio file format, which defines the method of recording the digital data obtained by converting audio signals. By default, the PCM method (no compression) is used, but you can also use other compression methods. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the world-wide standard interface for digital audio/ video signal transmission. This interface transmits both digital audio and digital video signals using a single cable without any loss.
Compressed Music Enhancer The Compressed Music Enhancer feature compensates for missing harmonics in compression music formats (such as MP3). As a result, this technology provides improved performance for the overall sound system. SILENT CINEMA Supported devices and file formats Supported Bluetooth® devices Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones.
