Yamaha invites
you into a new world
of entertainment.

Many people watch movies at home with a TV
and VCR or other video player, but are
frustrated by the dull and lifeless sound. Let’s
face it: when you’re used to hearing the dynamic
sound offered in today’s movie theaters, the
sound from your TV speakers pales by
comparison. Even outputting the sound from an
ordinary audio system (amp and two speakers)
improves little but the volume. If this is your
situation, Yamaha has good news: CINEMA DSP.
Featured in Yamaha Digital Home Theater
Amplifiers and Receivers, this amazing
technolog y makes the sound from movies (and
music, too) much more thrillingly realistic than
anything you’ve ever heard from a home system.
Discover the full possibilities of home cinema
entertainment – with Yamaha CINEMA DSP
components.

Yamaha’s Total Commitment

to Excellence Creates the Ultimate in

Home Entertainment.

Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP) is a

Yamaha innovation that has opened a new chapter

in the history of audio. Instead of having to go to a movie

theater or concert hall to experience awesome,

all-enveloping acoustics, you can now stay home and hear the

same or even better sound. Our latest generation of amplifiers with

CINEMA DSP technology offer capabilities and quality that will tr uly astound you.

While you’re watching a movie, CINEMA DSP gives you precisely the aural

experience that the sound director intended you to have.

The sound is an actual presence, intensifying the

suspense, action or drama being portrayed on the screen.

When you’re enjoying a music video or audio

program, you have the uncanny sensation of actually

sitting in a concert hall, jazz club, and so on.

This is an entirely new listening experience–one

that only Yamaha can bring you.

Overcoming the Differences
Between Movie Theaters and
Home Theaters: How Yamaha’s
Cinema DSP Does It.

The use of Dolby Surround enables
audio decoding in a home theater
according to the same principle as in
a movie theater. But a home media
room is, of course, far smaller than a

Not Just Great Music
Performances,
but On-Location Sound

Back in 1986, Yamaha engineers
developed a way to make precise
acoustic “maps” of some of the
world’s most famous performance
venues. Using special single-point
quad microphones to measure
acoustic data, they created formulas,
digitally programmed into LSI chips,
which made it possible to reproduce
these actual “sound fields” under
identical conditions. Yamaha named
its new technology HiFi DSP (for
Digital Sound Field Processing). Its
DSP-1 Digital Processor won acclaim

DSP-A1000, an integrated amplifier
with the most advanced DSP technol­ogy yet, called Cinema DSP. Through
the use of Dolby Pro Logic and
Digital Sound Field Processing LSIs,
this new technology achieved what
was long believed impossible: an
enveloping surround sound that
brought the ambiance of a movie the­ater to an ordinary listening room to
create a home theater with spectacular
audio ambiance. In 1993, Yamaha fur­ther refined this formula with the
DSP-A2070—an integrated amplifi­er equipped with an all-digital ver­sion of Dolby Pro Logic.

MOVIE THEATER

movie theater, where the audience is
surrounded by ar rays of multiple
speakers. Yet amazingly, Yamaha
Cinema DSP is able to compensate
for the differences in facilities,
acoustics, dimensions and other
conditions between movie theaters
and a home listening room,
enabling the viewer to enjoy sound
that gives the sensation of being as
expansive as in a theater. That’s
what creating a home theater is all
about.

HOME THEATER

as the world’s first sound field proces­sor with the ability to store digital
data on the acoustic conditions of
concert halls, cathedrals and other
environments and reproduce these
conditions in ordinary listening
rooms.

CINEMA DSP: Theater-Quality
Sound at Home

But Yamaha engineers were already
looking ahead to the next challenge.
The introduction of Dolby Surround
Pro Logic in 1987 gave home users
the means of enjoying the same excit­ing effects of the Dolby Stereo used in
large movie theaters from their home
theater systems. This system, Dolby
Pro Logic, is designed to project dia­logue straight from the front, while
music and sound effects come from
the back and sides, to create highly
dramatic and realistic effects. Merging
the new Dolby technology with
Yamaha HiFi DSP, Yamaha once again
astonished the industry with the

The Superior Sound of

Tri-Field CINEMA DSP

Enter the Ultimate:
Tri-Field CINEMA DSP

The newest advances in movie sound
reproduction for the home, Dolby
Digital and DTS Digital Surround,
use discrete channels to provide an
expanded sense of depth, localization
and realism. To upgrade DSP technol­ogy for use with these systems,
Yamaha engineers conducted new
tests in the same dubbing theaters
used in the making of movie sound­tracks and developed an improved
processing technology called Tri-Field
CINEMA DSP. Instead of one or
two, it creates three separate sound
fields (Presence, Left and Right), each
produced from their own specific
sound field data. This results in sound
with highly accurate localization,
smooth movement, exceptional clarity
and richness, and startlingly realistic
presence. Only Yamaha is capable of
providing a sound experience with
this degree of sophistication.

Dolby Digital and DTS Digital
Surround. The technology that per­forms this high-precision, high-quality
sound field processing is concentrated
on one circuit board with a smaller
board attached.

LSI System for High Precision
Sound Field Processing

The processing board has digital input
pins for Dolby Digital and DTS Digital
Surround, as well as for the A/D and
D/A converters. CINEMA DSP effects
are based on accurate decoding in
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and
DTS Digital Surround formats. That’s
why we use the original YSS-249 LSI,
in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro
Logic decoders. The use of ultra-preci­sion 0.5-micron standard designing
provides an even greater level of inte­gration to ensure extremely faithful

and precise decoding.

Dolby Digital decoding is carried
out on a single-chip 24-bit precision
DSP core that allows full 5.1-channel
decoding. The Dolby Pro Logic
decoder built into the YSS-249 uses full
digital processing to improve separation
and provide accurate cross-fade with no
fluctuations in level movement between
channels.

The DSPI56009 chip that stores
the DTS program developed by DTS
Corp. operates at a 93MHz clock rate
for the decoding of DTS digital sur­round.

the maximum in science-fiction effects,
the infinity of space, zooming rocket­ships and galactic battles. For those
who like jazz, we’ve built in a new
sound-field program that reproduces
the sound field of the Bottom Line, a
famous New York jazz club. And the
Entertainment programs include Disco,
Game/Amusement and Party. No
matter what type of audio or video
entertainment you’ve selected, you’ll
enjoy it more with the DSP-A1’s
special programs.

High-Power, High-Quality
Power Amplifier

Most of the massive interior of the
DSP-A1 is given over to the power
amplifier components, allowing it to
deliver movie sound fields and music
reproduction with a never-before-heard
feeling of presence.

The DSP-A1 features an all-discrete
configuration for the entire seven
power amp channels that are used for
CINEMA DSP playback. The surround
channels handle Dolby Digital and
DTS Digital Surround recorded with
the same quality and range as the main
channels, while the five left, center and
right, rear-effect left and rear-effect
right channels have exactly the same
power and quality.

The amplifier’s power capability is
formidable: rated output of 110 watts
for the left, center, right, and two rear
effect channels, and 35 watts for the

two front effect channels.

Auto Priority Input Terminal

Selection

Digital input terminals are provided to
handle any kind of digital input.
Functions are programmed to select
priority in order of AC-3RF, optical
digital, coaxial digital and analog when
different digital formats ar e input from
the same source. The sound decoder is
also automatically selected and
processed according to
the combination of the
format of input signals
and the selected sound
field programs, while
DSP sound field process­ing is optimized at the
same time.

If MOVIE THEATER 70mm, for
example, is selected and the input is a
DTS signal, the DTS decoder is auto­matically engaged and a switch is
made to Movie Theater DTS Sci-Fi.
If the signal is Dolby Digital, then a
switch is made to Movie Theater
DGTL Sci-Fi, whereas if the input is
PCM or analog, Movie Theater
70mm Sci-Fi is displayed. If a
LaserDisc is played on Dolby Digital,
the demodulator starts up and input
automatically switches to AC-3RF.

The processing state and type of
format that is input and selected is
shown on the right side of the front
panel display. When a digital source is
being input and the effect is turned

HiFi DSP and CINEMA DSP: an
Amazing Variety of Sound Field
Programs

HiFi DSP sound field programs

HiFi DSP creates sound fields that have
the realistic feel of specific places. The
original input signal is output without any
further processing, to which HiFi DSP
adds a sound field. The decoded signal
from a Dolby Digital or DTS source is
output as is; only the reflected sound
component is added. This allows you to
hear a sound field so lifelike that you will
feel as if you are actually in one of the
world’s great churches or concert halls.

HiFi DSP compatible with 5.1 chan­nels can reproduce digital multichannel
format music sources to further expand
your entertainment possibilities.

CINEMA DSP sound field programs

These programs automatically select
decoders according to output to process
one, two or three sound fields from
monaural to 5.1-channel, providing the
optimum sound field effect.

capabilities is the YSS-918 – Yamaha’s
most advanced LSI. Incorporating Dolby
Digital and DTS decoders, as well as all
DSP processing circuitry, this is the
world’s most sophisticated audio
microchip. And for highest audio quality,

the circuitry includes a 64fs, 20-bit A/D
converter and an 8fs, 20-bit D/A con­verter. Three optical and one coaxial dig­ital input terminals are provided for
direct digital input from other compo­nents.

Full Operating Convenience

Designed to function as your main sys­tem command center, the RX-V795 is
logical and simple to operate. Yamaha’s
“Set Menu” makes it easy to “fine-tune”
your system’s sound, and an 8-Position
Rotary Encode Input Selector allow
quick source selection for listening and
recording. Both master volume and sub­woofer level can be controlled from the
remote.

Outstanding Sound Quality

Supplying equal power to all five chan­nels is important for achieving maximum
surround sound field effect, and the RX-

795 delivers with a full 85W per channel.
High Dynamic Power, Low-Impedance
Drive capability means that this receiver
will deliver large amounts of reserve power
for accurate reproduction of the high
energy peaks common in CDs and other
digital sources. Yamaha’s exclusive Linear
Damping, Tone Bypass switch and a Bass
Extension control are just some of the
other features that ensure high­est audio quality.

High Class Digital Home
Theater Perfor mance

There’s no doubt that the RX-V395 is the leading receiver in its class.
With CINEMA DSP, HiFi DSP and Dolby Digital ready, its reproduction of audio and
video sources is truly outstanding. And with equal power output rated at 60W x 5, that sound will be
big enough to please everyone. A Universal Remote Control is supplied.

RX-V395Digital Home Theater Receiver

CINEMA and HiFi DSP

Yamaha’s CINEMA DSP technology pro­vides a 35mm Movie Theater (Dolby Pro
Logic/Enhanced) program that produces
the same type of sound you hear in theaters
with multi-speaker arrays. There are also
five HiFi DSP programs.

Six-Channel External Decoder Input

If you want to give your home theater sys­tem even higher capabilities, you’ll want to
consider Dolby Digital or DTS Digital,
Surround. The RX-V395 is ready whenever
you are, because it accepts the six-channel
discrete input signals from components
such as DVD players compatible with those
formats.

No Compromises Where Sound Quality
Is Concerned

Sound quality is something that Yamaha
never compromises, and it’s proven in this
receiver. It has high dynamic power with
low-impedance drive capability, as well as
our Linear Damping Circuit.

High Dynamic Power, Low-Impedance
Drive Capability

Yamaha amplifiers/receivers are capable of
delivering large amounts of reserve power
for accurate reproduction of the high
energy peaks that are especially prevalent
in digital audio sources. This emphasizes
the music’s dynamic qualities and provides
a sharper sound image.

Linear Damping

Level variations due to high amp imped­ance tend to reduce an amplifier’s damp­ing factor, and frequency variations cause
it to fluctuate. This circuit cancels the
effect of these variations, maintaining a
high, stable damping factor. The result is
superior articulation of all sounds and bet­ter frequency response.

Tuner Section Features High Quality,
Easy Operation

In addition to utilizing the same Direct
PLL If Count Synthesizer Tuning system
as the other Yamaha Digital Home

Theater receivers, the RX-V395 also makes
station selection easy. You can preset as
many as 40 stations for instant one-touch
tuning, and with each one the tuning
mode (stereo or mono) is also memorized.
This model even has a unique feature not
offered on the other receivers. Auto FM
Station Memory will automatically preset
the 40 strongest stations on the dial for
you. You can then use Preset Editing to
rearrange them into groups.

Yamaha’s Total
Commitment to
Excellence Creates the
Ultimate in Home
Entertainment.

Yamaha’s commitment to
excellence in audio, and
specifically CINEMA DSP, star ts
with the building blocks of digital
sound field processing, LSIs (large
scale integrated circuits). We
design and manufacture our own
LSIs, allowing our audio
engineers to decide precisely what
type of circuit design they want
from the
beginning,
rather than
having to
“design
around” an
already
completed
chip. The
latest example
of our LSI
expertise is
the amazing
YSS-918. This single chip
incorporates all the circuitry
necessary for digital processing,
capabilities that previously
required two, three or more LSIs.
It performs both Dolby Digital
and DTS Digital Surround
decoding with extreme accuracy,
as well as all digital sound field
processing chores, drawing on its
massive sound field program data
banks. The YSS-918 is without a
doubt the most powerful and
sophisticated audio LSI ever
created.

High-Performance Speaker Systems Specifically
Designed for Digital Home T heater Use.

The speakers you use for your home
theater system will play an
important role in determining its
sound quality, and must be chosen
with care. Because main and center
speakers will be reproducing the
dialogue and effects that make the
real difference in a home theater
system, they must be very high
quality. Subwoofers are also
important for achieving optimum
overall response and quality,
especially in listening rooms with
an abundance of sound-absorbing
materials, where extra sharp,
powerful bass is necessary to achieve
realistic cinematic sound.

S

ubwoofer

Because good bass
response is neccessary
for enjoying movie
sound, Yamaha YST
subwoofers are ideal
for use in digital home
theater systems.

The center speaker
delivers most of the
dialogue, so high clarity

enjoyment.

ear Effect Speakers

Ideally, these speakers should
be the same as the main
speakers. However compact,
high quality speakers can also
be used, especially necessary
when reproducing Dolby
Digital or DTS Digital
Surround movies.

7-Channel System

If you use a 7-channel amp or receiver, you
can add two front effect speakers for even
more dynamic and realistic sound staging.

ain Speakers

Yamaha A/V speakers
provide outstanding
imaging, frequency
response and dynamic
range for handling
dialogue, music and
sound effects.

The Impor tance of a Subwoofer

Conventional speaker
Speaker + YST Subwoofer
Increased bass reproduction capability

The subwoofer is a vitally important component in home
theater systems. Low-frequency sounds, such as explosions,
rumblings and scar y music, add a lot to movie atmosphere, so
full audio enjoyment requires deep, clear bass response. This is
even truer with 5.1-channel sound, because the sixth channel is the
Low Frequency Effect channel. In addition, without a subwoofer,
you'll lose much of the bass effect at low volume levels.
