OUTLINE OF THIS UNIT

Dolby Digital and DTS

This unit features a built-in Dolby Digital decoder and a DTS decoder for reproducing surround sounds of sources encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. With such state-of-the-art technologies, this unit can bring the same audio experience to your home as they have brought to feature films in quality theaters around the world. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this system brings to your home theater.

䡵 Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a surround channel for special sound effects. The surround channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.

Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.

䡵 Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before.

䡵 DTS (Digital Theater System)

Digital Surround

DTS was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and it is now installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio. DTS technology, through intense research and development, has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it offers 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as “0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems.

E-4

Virtual 3D

OUTLINE OF THIS UNIT

Surround sound typically requires several speakers situated in front of and behind the listening position, which requires a substantial amount of space that may not always be available. In addition to ordinary surround sound reproduction using several speakers, this unit enables you to enjoy surround sound effects with only two speakers by using Yamaha’s unique “Virtual 3D” (three-dimensional) technology.

FL C FR

RL RR

Typical surround system Virtual 3D

Virtual 3D, which is used by this unit’s sound field programs, simulates the surround effect provided by surround and center speakers, creating “virtual” surround speakers, as shown, so even with only two front speakers, you can still enjoy surround sound.

Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)

When you listen to a performance in a concert hall, jazz club, or other live music venue, you not only hear the direct sound coming from the musical instruments and singers, but also the “early reflections” and natur al reverberation. Early reflections are the initial sound waves that bounce off the floor, ceiling, and walls. Natural reverberation is made up of sound waves that gradually attenuate as they bounce repeatedly off multiple surfaces.

Since the way you hear early reflections and reverberation depends on the shape and size of the building as well as the material and construction of the walls and ceiling, each venue has its own unique “sound,” called its “sound field.” At Yamaha, we have measured all the elements that make up a typical sound field—direction and level of the reflections, band-width characteristics, and delay times—at famous concert halls and opera houses around the world. The information gained in this process has been converted into programs that can be reproduced using Yamaha’s DSP technology. Using its on-board DSP, this unit can process any audio source and recreate the atmosphere of the original venue.
