Connecting the speakers
I Speaker placement
The speaker layout above show's the standard ITU-R
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,
multi-channel audio sources.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing buss frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low ­frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. The position (tf the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce W'all reflections.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these 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 (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front .speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it.
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inw'urds, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

CONNECTIONS
■ Speaker connections
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. Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is off. Do not let the bare speaker wares touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers. Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.
Connecting to the FRONT A SPEAKERS terminals
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the (black) terminals.
1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of
10 mm (3/8”)
insulation from the end of each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
3 Loosen the head of the screw. 4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
5 Tighten the head of the screw to secure the
wire.
Banana plug connections
(With the exception of U.K., Europe and Asia models) First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the etid of the corresponding terminal.

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.
■ Recreating a sound field
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 and fully encompass the listener.

HiFi DSP programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the sound field programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments.

CINEMA DSP

Sound design of CINEMA DSP
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 integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide a surround sound field. It recreates comprehensive movie sountl design in your audio room. In CINEMA DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the Front left and right, 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.
L SURROUND SOUND FIELD
PRESENCE SOUND FIELD
R SURROUND SOUND FIELD
In addition to the DSP, this unit is equipped with a variety of precise decoders; Dolby Pro Logic decoder for Dolby
Surround sources, Dolby Pro Logic II decoder for Dolby Surround and 2-channel sources, Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel sources and Dolby Digital -l- Matrix 6.1 or DTS -l- Matrix 6.1 decoder for adding a surround back channel (the surround buck channel is outputted from virtual surround back speaker). You can select CINEMA DSP programs to optimize these decoders and the DSP sound patterns depending on the input source.

science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded softwaire employing the most advanced techniques.
8 MOVIE
THEATER 2
Adventure 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.
General 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 tow'ard the screen, restraining the echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.
9 Straight Decode The built-in decoder reproduces source sounds and sound-effects precisely.
No DSP effect is applied in this program.
Enhanced Mode This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of tlie 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 orienta tion. The surround effects produced by tliis sound field w'rap around the view'er naturally from the back to tlie left and right, and tow ard the screen.

Straight Decode

This unit is equipped with various precise decoders;
• Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound
• Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic II decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources
Select any of the Straight Decode modes in Program No. 9 (except for the sub-program ‘"Enhanced”) as showm in the above list 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.

Note

• When playing a monaural source with a CINEMA DSP program, the source signal is directed to the center channel, and the front and snrround speakers output effect sounds.

Sound field effects

The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm fdni 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 use Dolby Digital or DTS technology to recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being in a public theater.
Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect
These programs use YAMAHA's tri-field DSP processing
Presence DSP ­sound field
on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front,
left surround, and right surround channels. This processing enables this unit to reproduce the immense
sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital­or DTS-equipped movie theater without sacrificitig the clear separation of all channels.

GLOSSARY

■ 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, watll material, rutmber 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 owm home.
■ Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full­range audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LEE (kw frequency effect), the system has a total of 3.1 channels (LEE is counted as 0.1 channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The w'ide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 full-ratige 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 Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software. This new technology enables a discrete 3­channel playback with 2 front left and right channels, I center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic technology), A music mode is also available for 2­channel sources in addition to the movie mode.
■ Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a surround channel for special sound effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces sound wdthin a narrow freqttency range. Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as w'ell. 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.
■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital
Surround
DTS digital surround w'as developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a 6-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 produces practically distortion-free 6-chatinel sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus an LEE 0.1 channel as a sulwoofer, for a total of 5.1 channels).
■ ITU-R
ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R recommends a standard speaker placement which is used in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering purposes,
■ 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.
■ Matrix 6.1
The unit incorporates Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel softwaire that enables 6.1­channel reprotluction by adding the surround back channel to existing 5,1-channel format, (The surround back channel is created from surround left and right channels, and outputted from virtual surround back speaker.) With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving soutid especially with scenes wdth “fly-over ” and “fly-around ” effects.
■ 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.
58
Page 63
GLOSSARY
■ 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 samplitig frequency, the wider the ratige of frequencies that can be played back, and the higher the tmmber of quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be reproduced.
■ 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 using 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 surround speakers by using virtual surround speakers. It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal 2-speaker system that does not include a center speaker.
