BASIC
Installing Batteries in the Remote
Control
RESET button
1 Open the battery compartment cover.
2 Insert three supplied batteries (LR6) in the
correct direction by aligning the + and –
marks on the batteries with the polarity
markings (+ and –) on the inside of the
battery compartment.
3 After new batteries are correctly inserted,
press the RESET button in the battery
compartment using a ball point pen or
similar object. (This does not clear the
contents of the memory.)
4 Replace the cover as pressing until it snaps
into place.
■ Notes on batteries
• Change all of the batteries if you notice the condition
like; the operating range of the remote control
decreases, the indicator does not flash or its light
becomes dim.
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline
and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging
carefully as these different types of batteries may have
the same shape and color.
• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them
immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or
letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean
the battery compartment thoroughly before installing
new batteries.
If the remote control is without batteries for more than
3 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the
remote control, the contents of the memory may be
cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert new
batteries, set up the manufacturer code and program
any acquired functions that may have been cleared.

PREPARATION
Speakers to Be Used
SPEAKER SETUP
This unit has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with an 8-speaker system, using left and right
main speakers, left and right rear speakers, left and right
front effect speakers and a center and rear center
speakers. If you use different brands of speakers (with
different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a
moving human voice and other types of sound may not
shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers
from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same
tonal quality.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers
from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are
used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center
speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The
front effect speakers are used for the effect sound. If for
some reason it is not practical to use one of speakers (for
example, a center speaker), you can do without it. Best
results, however, are obtained with the full system.
The main speakers should be high-performance models
and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system. The other
speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For
precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use the
models of equivalent performance with the main
speakers.
■ Use of a subwoofer expands your
sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from
any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE
(low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when
the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back.
The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.
CAUTION
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with a monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.
10
Speaker Placement
SPEAKER SETUP
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Front effect speaker (R)
Center speaker
Front effect speaker (L)
Subwoofer
Main speaker (L)
■ Main speakers
Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the
same.
■ Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front
face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to
the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the
monitor and centrally between the main speakers.

facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the
floor.
Rear speaker (R)
Main speaker (R)
1.8 m (6 feet)
Rear center speaker
Rear speaker (L)
■ Rear center speaker
Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left
and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor
as the rear speakers.
■ Front effect speakers
Place the front effect speakers about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 feet)
outside the main speakers and in front of the room, facing
slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
■ Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because
low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better
to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it
slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall
reflections.

SPEAKER SETUP
Connecting the Speakers
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
CAUTION
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers
in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.
■ Speaker cables
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One of the cables is colored or
10 mm (3/8”)
shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.
1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of
12
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
■ Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals

This section explains how to adjust the speaker output
levels by using the test tone generator. The “TEST
DOLBY SUR.” is for balancing the output levels of the
six speakers required for surround sound systems. The
“TEST DSP” is for balancing the front effect speakers
with the main speakers for the DSP sound field programs.
When this adjustment is made, the output level heard at
the listening position will be the same from each speaker.
This is important for the best performance of the digital
sound field processor, and various decoders (Dolby
Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic
, DTS, DTS
ES, and DTS Neo: 6).
The adjustment of each speaker output level should be
made at your listening position with the remote control.
Note
• Since this unit cannot enter the test mode while headphones are
connected to this unit, be sure to unplug the headphones from
the PHONES jack when using the test tone.

2) Analog signal
DTS:In this mode, only the digital input signal
encoded with DTS is selected even if
another signal is input at the same time.
ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal is
selected even if a digital signal is input at

■ Notes on the digital signal
The digital input jacks of this unit can handle up to a
96 kHz sampling digital signal. However when inputting
a higher digital signal than 48 kHz, be aware of the
following points.
• Sound effect will be added to the signals after converting the
sampling frequency to 48 kHz or below.
• When the sound effect is turned off by pressing STEREO/
EFFECT, this unit reproduces sound in 2-channel stereo at the
sampling frequency of the input signal.
■ Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs
• If the digital output data of the player has been
processed in any way, you may not be able to perform
DTS decoding even if you make a digital connection
between this unit and the player.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and
set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces
the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you
want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the
source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to
AUTO or DTS.
• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while
playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit
reproduces no sound.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with
the input mode set to AUTO;
– This unit automatically switches to the DTS-
decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up.)
after having detected the DTS signal. When playback
of the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator
may flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTS
source can be played. If you want to play a normal
PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.
– The “t” indicator may flash when a search or
skip operation is performed while the DTS source is
playing back with the input mode set to AUTO. If
this status continues for longer than 30 seconds, this
unit will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding”
mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t”
indicator will turn off.

Notes
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects
the last DSP program used with that source.
• When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current source
and DSP program are memorized and are automatically
selected when you turn on the power again.
• If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode
is set to AUTO, the DSP program (No. 9–11) automatically
switches to the appropriate decoding program.
• When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/
Normal or PRO LOGIC/Enhanced, PRO LOGIC Movie, or
Neo: 6 Cinema, no sound will be heard from the main speakers
and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center
speaker. However, if “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is
set to NONE, the center channel sound is output from the main
speakers.
• When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit
is selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.
y
• Choose a DSP program based on your listening preference, and
not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your listening
room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound reflections
in your room to maximize the effect created by the program.

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.
YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to
measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music
venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the
direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then
we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this
unit.
Hi-Fi DSP Programs
Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your
listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound
field. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.
The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the
virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.
CINEMA-DSP
Filmmakers intend 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
integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field
programs to provide the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In
CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the right and left Main and
Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources,
and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.
When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the
most suitable sound field program for that signal.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
This unit is equipped with various precise decoders;
• Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound
• Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES decoder for an additional rear center channel
• DTS 96/24 decoder for the high quality playback of the DTS 96/24 signal at the sampling frequency 96 kHz.
• Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic /DTS Neo:6 decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources
Select any of the STRAIGHT DECODE modes in Program 11 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced.”) to use any of
these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied
and the DSP indicator turns off.
Sound Field Effect
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. With this unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs, you can recreate a
dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your listening room by using Dolby Digital or
DTS technology.

These programs use YAMAHA’s tri-field DSP processing
on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front,

sources are designed to recreate the spaciousness and
delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the
encoding and decoding processes.
■ Dolby Pro Logic /DTS Neo: 6
Dolby Pro Logic and DTS Neo: 6 equipped on this unit decode the 2-channel Dolby Surround software into five or
six full range channels. They also provide two modes; MOVIE/CINEMA for movies and MUSIC for 2-channel sources.

This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the
sound design of the newest 70-mm and multichannel
soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be
similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the
reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained
as much as possible.
This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm
and multichannel soundtrack films, and is
characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The
presence sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially
spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining
the echo effect of conversations without losing
clarity.
This program ideally simulates the multi-surround
speaker systems of the 35-mm film theaters. Dolby
Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS
decoding and digital sound field processing create
precise effects without altering the original sound
orientation.
The surround effects produced by this sound field
wrap around the viewer naturally from the back to the
left and right, and toward the screen.
The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and
sound effects from sources. The highly efficient
decoding process improves crosstalk and channel
separation and makes sound positioning smoother
and more precise.
In this program, no DSP effect is applied.

• Setting REC OUT to SOURCE and using the BGV function
(see page 29) allows the recording of audio and video from a
different source.
Notes
• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.
• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record
between other components connected to this unit.
• The setting of BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION,
VOLUME, “3 L/R BALANCE” on the SET MENU and DSP
programs does not affect the recorded material.
• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit
cannot be recorded.
• S-video and composite video signals pass independently
through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or
dubbing video signals, if your video source component is
connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite
video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a
composite video) signal by your VCR.
• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT
channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not
output on VCR 1 OUT.)
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from
records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material
may infringe copyright laws.
If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the
picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.
■ Special considerations when
recording DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to
digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise
being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to
record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,
the following considerations and adjustments need to be
made.
For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your
player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its
operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog
signal will be output from the player.
■ Timer playback/recording
This unit can perform playback or recording with an
external timer (not supplied). Refer to the operation
instruction for the component and the timer to be used.
Notes
• The stored data such as input source will be reflected in the
playback or recording with the timer.
• If you do not want any sound output during the recording with
a timer, turn the volume down.
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data
(input source, volume level, set menu settings and so
on) from being lost even if this unit is in the standby
mode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However if
the timer is turned off for more than one week, the
stored data will be lost.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES
The remote control can operate other A/V components of YAMAHA and other manufacturers as well as this unit. To
control those components, you must set up remote control with the manufacturer codes.
This remote control also has two sophisticated features: Learn and Macro. The Learn feature allows it to acquire
functions from the remote controls of other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with
an infrared remote control receiver. The Macro feature allows you to program a series of operations in sequence for
operation by a single button, or to use the factory-set macros to operate other YAMAHA components. These features
make it possible for you to reduce the number of remote control in your entertainment room.

Notes
• Supplied remote control does not store all the manufacturer
codes for commercially available AV components (including
Yamaha AV components). Therefore it may not work to operate
your AV component. If operation is not possible with any of the
manufacturer codes, program the new remote control function
with the Learn feature or use the remote control for the
component.
• If you have already programmed a remote control function for a
button, the function by learning programming takes priority
over the setup manufacturer code’s function.
•“ERROR” appears in the display window when pressing
buttons other than indicated in each step, or more than one
button at once.
Learn Feature
If you want to program functions not included in the basic
operations covered by the manufacturer code, or a
manufacturer code is not available, the following
procedure needs to be performed. The possible
programming area is the same as a component control
area, so the buttons are programmable independently for
each source component area.
Note
• This remote control transmits infrared rays. If the other remote
control also uses infrared rays, this remote control can learn
most of the other remote control’s functions. However, you
may not be able to program some special signals or extremely
long transmissions. (Refer to the operation instructions for the
other remote control.)

factory-set macro. Programming a macro changes all macro
contents.
• A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or
YAMAHA preset) button signals of this remote control to a
macro button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or
program a function with the remote control for your
component.
• This remote control handles button signals that operate
continuously, such as volume control, as short time interval
codes. Macro programming that include these types of macro
steps are therefore not recommended.

4 Adjust the volume of the subwoofer with the
controls on the subwoofer so it matches that
of the speaker you are comparing it to.
■ About the test tone
The test tone is produced by the tone generator.
The tone generator produces a narrow-band noise
centered on a specified frequency by the band pass filter
beside a wide-band noise.
You can change this center frequency from 35 Hz through
250 Hz in one-sixth octave steps.
You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the
subwoofer level, but also for checking the low-frequency
characteristics of your listening room. Low-frequency
sounds are especially affected by the listener’s position,
speaker placement, subwoofer polarity and other
conditions.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING
What Is a Sound Field?
INTRODUCTION
Sound Field Program Parameters
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.
■ Elements of a sound field
In any environment, in addition to the direct sound
coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument,
there are two distinct types of sound reflections that
combine to make up the sound field:
Early reflections
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly
(50 ms – 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting
from one surface only — for example, from the ceiling or
a wall. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct
sound.
Reverberations
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface — walls, ceiling, the back of the room — so
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen
the clarity of the direct sound.
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent
reverberation taken together help us to determine the
subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this
information that the digital sound field processor
reproduces in order to create sound fields.
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you
would be able to create your own listening environment.
The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of
a concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at
all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly
what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field
processor.
DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine
the apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from
you to the performer, etc. In each program, these
parameters are set with values precisely calculated by
YAMAHA to create a sound field unique to the program.
It is recommended to use DSP programs without
changing the values of parameters; however, this unit also
allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with
one of the built-in programs, you can adjust those
parameters.
Each DSP program has a set of parameters that allow you
to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment
to precisely create the effect you want. These parameters
correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create
the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or
other listening environment. The size of the room, for
example, affects the length of time between the early
reflections. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter provided in
many of the DSP programs alters the timing between
these reflections, thus changing the shape of the “room”
you are listening. In addition to room size, the shape of
the room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a
significant effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb
sound, for example, cause the reflections and
reverberations to die out more quickly, while highly
reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a
longer period of time. The digital sound field parameters
allow you to control these and many other factors that
contribute to your personal sound field, allowing you to
essentially “redesign” the concert halls, theaters, etc.
provided to create custom-tailored listening environments
that ideally match your mood and music.

Description:Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect
level relative to the direct sound.
■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)
[P. INT. DLY for the presence sound field]Control Range 1 – 99 msec
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.
Description:The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther
the apparent distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, and for a
large room, it would be set to a large value.

Function: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. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces
is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The
LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the
room.

GLOSSARY
■ Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording
system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects:
two left and right main 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. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.
■ Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that
gives you completely independent multi-channel audio.
With three front channels (left, center and right), and two
rear stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides five fullrange audio channels. With an additional channel
especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency
effect), the system has a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is
counted as 0.1 channel).
Using two-channel stereo for the rear speakers, more
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The
wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum
volume) reproduced by the five full-range channels and
the precise sound orientation generated using digital
sound processing provide listeners with previously
unheard of excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up
to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for
your enjoyment.
■ Dolby Digital Surround EX
This unit is equipped with the Dolby Digital decoder that
can reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center
channel. (The sound to be output from a rear center
speaker is created by mixing the content of rear L/R
channels.) This decoder is the most suitable to reproduce
the soundtrack for the movies recorded by Dolby Digital
Surround EX. You can enjoy dynamic and realistic sounds
by adding another channel.
■ Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is the improved technique to decode
vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This
new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback
with two left and right main channels, a center channel,
and two left and right rear channels compared with one
limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic
technology. Also the music mode is available for 2channel sources in addition to the movie mode.
■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a six-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can
enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial
representation of DTS digital surround in your home.
This system is practically distortion-free, clear 6-channel
sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, two
rear channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer,
for a total of 5.1 channels).
■ DTS ES (Extended Surround)
This unit is equipped with the DTS ES decoder that can
reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center
channel. The DTS ES decoder on this unit is compatible
with the two types of format: Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1.
The DTS ES Discrete decoder enables the 6.1-channel
playback by adding a rear center channel recorded
independently from the 5.1 channels. The DTS ES Matrix
decoder enables the 6.1-channel playback by adding a
rear center created from the rear L/R channels. This
decoder is the most suitable to reproduce the music or the
soundtrack of the movies recorded by DTS ES.
■ Neo: 6
Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6
channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables
playback with the full-range channels with higher
separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two
modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music
sources and “Cinema mode” for movies.

■ DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1
channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz / 24 bit by
using the data for extension of a DTS signal, that is
recorded on the DTS 96/24 software.

English
GLOSSARY
■ LFE 0.1 channel
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a
low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1 channel systems.
■ CINEMA DSP
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and
designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions,
such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and
so on, can differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are
differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth
of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses
YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to
provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater
in the listening room of your own home.
DIGITAL
■ SILENT CINEMA
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect
DSP algorithm for headphones.
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations of all the sound field
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.
■ Virtual CINEMA DSP
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 in a
minimum two-speaker system that does not include a
center speaker.
■ S VIDEO signal
With S VIDEO signal system, the video signal normally
transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted
as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the
chrominance through the S VIDEO cable. Using the S
VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and
allows recording and playback of even more beautiful
images.
■ Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal
is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the
PB/CB and PR/CR signals for the chrominance. Color can
be reproduced more faithfully with this system because
each of these signals is independent. The component
signal is also called the “color difference signal” because
the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.
A monitor with component input jacks is required in
order to use the component signal for output.
■ PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code
modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
■ Sampling frequency and number
of quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of
times the signal is sampled per second is called the
sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when
converting the sound level into a numeric value is called
the number of quantized bits.
The range of rates that can be played back is determined
based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range
representing the sound level difference is determined by
the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the
sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies
that can be played back, and the higher the number of
quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.
■ I/O assignment (SET MENU)
Although component is normally connected according to
jack names shown on the rear panel, this unit includes a
function that assigns jacks according to the component
being connected. If the component being used differs
from the component name shown for this unit’s
component video input jacks or digital input/output jacks,
it is possible to assign jacks according to the component
being connected. This makes it possible to change the
jack assignment and effectively connect more component.
