DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Understanding sound fields A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a particular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.
CINEMA-DSP BASIC OPERATION L SURROUND SOUND FIELD PRESENCE SOUND FIELD DIALOG EFFECT PREPARATION Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen. CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks.
CINEMA-DSP The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that 6-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home.
CINEMA-DSP CINEMA-DSP programs INTRODUCTION ■ For movie programs: No. 7 to 9 This unit automatically chooses the appropriate decoder and DSP sound field pattern according to the input signal format. Table of Program Names for Each Input Format Input 5.1 channel 6.
CINEMA-DSP The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below. No. 7 8 Features Program MOVIE THEATER 1 MOVIE THEATER 2 9 Spectacle This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING What is a sound field? What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple 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.
SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING 4 Changing parameter settings Press u / d to select the parameter. CH – TV MUTE SELECT PRESET CH + INTRODUCTION You can enjoy high quality sound with the factory-set 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. + TV VOL PRESET TV VOL – 5 Adjustments should be made with the remote control. Press j / i to change the parameter value.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ■ INIT. DLY (Initial delay) [P. INT. DLY for the presence sound field] Function: This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.
DIGITAL SOUND SOUND FIELD FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS EDITING ■ LIVENESS Function: Sound source INTRODUCTION This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. Description: The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ REV. TIME (Reverberation time) Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. Description: Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time for “live” sources and listening room environments. Control range: 1.0 to 5.
DIGITAL SOUND SOUND FIELD FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS EDITING For 6ch Stereo Function: These parameters adjust the volume level for each channel in 6-channel stereo mode. Control range: 0 to 100% INTRODUCTION ■ CT LEVEL (Center level) ■ RL LEVEL (Rear left level) ■ RR LEVEL (Rear right level) ■ RC LEVEL (Rear center level) PREPARATION For PRO LOGIC Music ■ PANORAMA Function: Choices: Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for wraparound effect.

Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem persists, the cables may be defective. 10 – 16 No connection from the turntable to the GND terminal.
TROUBLESHOOTING ■ Tuner Problem Cause 17 Use the manual tuning method. 35 There is distortion, and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. There is multipath interference. Adjust the antenna position to eliminate multipath interference. — The desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. The station is too weak. Use a high-quality directional FM antenna. 17 Use the manual tuning method. 35 Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in.
GLOSSARY ■ Dolby Surround Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 main left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound effects (monaural). The rear 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.
GLOSSARY YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects even without any rear speakers by using virtual rear speakers. It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal 2-speaker system that does not include a center speaker.
