I Digital Sound Fields (DSP)  
Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision,  
and power. However, something has been missing: the atmosphere and acoustic ambience of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have  
extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters  
and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used  
to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields have been created using data measured at the  
original venue; others have been created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Some have been  
designed especially for music, and others especially for movies. Of course, this only solves half of the problem. Because these engineers have  
no way of knowing the acoustics of your entertainment room, we have made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data  
to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following  
surround sound technologies.  
I CINEMA-DSP: Dolby Digital + DSP and DTS + DSP  
The Dolby Digital system and DTS system show their full capability in large movie theaters, because feature film soundtracks are designed  
to be reproduced in such environments. It is difficult to recreate a sound environment similar to a movie theater in your entertainment room  
because of the room size, wall materials, and the number of speakers in your entertainment system. Yamaha DSP technology makes it  
possible for you to enjoy nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your entertainment room by compensating for  
lack of presence and dynamics in your entertainment room with Yamaha's original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Digital or DTS  
soundtracks.  
I Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT CINEMA DSP  
Yamaha developed the Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm which allows you to experience the virtual sound fields without surround speakers.  
This makes it possible for the DSP-AZ1 to produce a full surround sound catering to the number of speakers you have. The DSP-AZ1 also  
has a SILENT CINEMA DSP algorithm which is achieved by the crosstalk processing applying the precise Head Related Transfer Function.  
You can therefore enjoy listening to the CINEMA DSP soundfields on headphones.  
I Various decoders to support the newest sound effect technology  
This unit is equipped with the following signal format decoders.  
• Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX  
The Matrix decoder enables 6.1-channel playback of the 5.1-channel sources by extracting the rear center channel signals from the rear L/R  
channel signals.  
• DOLBY PRO LOGIC  
• 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 2-channel sources in addition  
to the movie mode.  
• DTS and DTS ES  
The DSP-AZ1 is also equipped with a DTS decoder, which uses a 5.1-channel system to create a full surround sound environment. It was  
developed as a way to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six channels of digital sound. In comparison with Dolby Digital, DTS  
uses less compression to store the sound information. The newly presented DTS ES system reproduces digital sound similar to Dolby Digital  
EX. The use of the rear center speaker along with the existing 5.1-channel speakers provides a fully immersive cinematic audio experience.  
• DTS 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.

FEATURES  
I Various input and output jacks  
The DSP-AZ1 has various output jacks for audio and video signals as well as a digital recording output jack. Many input jacks are also  
available for connection to multiple audio-video sources. All the video inputs and outputs have S-video jacks in addition to standard  
composite video jacks for improved video picture quality. Component video input and output jacks are also available to deliver the excellent  
video signals from DVD players and other high quality video sources. The coaxial and optical digital signal jacks (provided for direct  
transmission of digital signals) automatically detect Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM signals. A demodulator circuit is built into the Dolby  
Digital RF input so you can connect it directly to the Dolby Digital RF signal output on your LD player. Additionally, there are six audio  
inputs for discrete multichannel reproduction from an external decoder.  
The DSP-AZ1 also comes with a monaural subwoofer jack and split subwoofer jacks which can reproduce delicate but powerful low  
frequency effects.  
I Multi-function remote control  
The remote control can operate other audio-video components once you program the remote control using the manufacturer code and Learn  
feature.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS  
I Installing batteries in the remote control  
I About changing batteries  
As the batteries wear out, the operating range of the remote control  
decreases and the TRANSMIT indicator does not flash or its light  
becomes dim. When you notice any of these conditions, change all  
of the batteries. After you insert new batteries, be sure to push  
RESET in the battery compartment using a ball point pen or similar  
object before using the remote control. (This does not clear the  
contents of the memory.)  
Open the battery compartment cover.  
1
Caution  
• 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.  
Insert three supplied batteries (LR6) in the correct  
2
direction by aligning the + and marks on the  
batteries with the polarity markings (+ and ) on the  
inside of the battery compartment.

Cautions  
• When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the  
remote control and the main unit, the sensor cannot receive  
signals.  
Cautions  
• Insert the batteries in the correct direction by aligning the + and –  
marks on the batteries with the polarity illustrations (+ and –)  
inside the battery compartment.  
• The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is  
exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a  
fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of  
the light or reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.  
• Change the batteries periodically.  
• 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.  
• Handle the remote control with care.  
• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.  
• Do not drop the remote control.  
• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following types of  
conditions:  
1 high humidity or temperature such as near a heater, stove or  
bath

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS  
The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right main speakers, a center speaker, the left and right rear  
speakers, the left and right front effect speakers, and a rear center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for  
speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to  
produce a fuller sound.

(5 – 6 feet)  
Center speaker (C)  
Main speaker (L)  
Rear center speaker (RC)  
Rear effect speaker (RL)  
I 8-speaker configuration –full CINEMA-DSP–  
When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack  
audio. The dialogue is positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is positioned slightly behind the screen,  
and the soundtrack music is positioned even further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation. This  
configuration makes the most of this unit's capability.

I 6-speaker configuration –Hi-Fi DSP–  
This configuration is used the most for audio playback with Hi-Fi DSP. It does not position the dialogue sound as well as a 7- or 8-speaker  
configuration. However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field which adds depth to the sound.  
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT  
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.  
Caution  
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the  
monitor.  
I Placing the main speakers  
Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position.  
If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each  
side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.

Main  
Main

I Placing the center speaker  
If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the center  
speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as  
possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the  
monitor, the front effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the  
action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen  
in your system, place the center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker  
with the center of the screen.

Center speaker  
I Placing the front effect, rear and rear center speakers  
These speakers should be placed about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 feet) outside the main speakers  
1m 0.5 - 1m 1.5 - 3m 0.5 - 1m 1m  
and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position.  
Place the rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position.  
The rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the front effect speakers. Place these  
speakers at the height of 1.5 m when listening as sitting on the floor or 1.8 m when  
listening as sitting on the chair.

obtain a balanced sound from the main speakers and the front effect and rear speakers.  
RL

This distance can be farther than the front  
effect speakers’.  
I When you use a projection screen  
Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.  
The main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of  
the screen.  
Screen  
Place the center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The center speaker  
provides precise dialogue localization.  
When you use a projection screen with your system, the front effect speakers provide  
better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs (see pages 90 to 94) raise  
the sound from the center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding with  
the video images.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT  
I Placing the subwoofers  
Place the front subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.  
If you use a rear subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The placement of the rear subwoofer is not critical because of the  
ultra low frequencies of the sound being reproduced.  
By adding a high quality subwoofer to the speaker configurations shown on page 14, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic movie  
effects, even if your main speakers are large.  
Front subwoofer  
Rear subwoofer  
Note  
• If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your configuration, 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.  
You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the SET MENU (see pages 56 and 57).  
If you are using small speakers, the addition of a subwoofer will reinforce the sound effects of movies.

CONNECTIONS  
Before connecting components  
CAUTION  
Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been completed.  
• Some components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation instructions for each  
component also.  
• Input and output jacks for the pin jacks are color-coded depending on the signal type.  
• When connecting input and output jacks, use commercially available cables (pin-plug cable, fiber-optic cable, coaxial cable and S-Video  
cable).  
• When this unit interferes with the other components (such as a TV and tuner), replace this unit apart from those components. To prevent the  
interference with a TV or tuner, it is recommended that an external antenna is placed and coaxial cables are used for connections.

composite video signals.  
2 S VIDEO jack  
Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into  
luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals  
achieve high quality color reproduction. When you are using the S  
VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came  
with the component being connected.  
• If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT  
VIDEO jacks of this unit, the OSD is not shown.  
3 COMPONENT VIDEO jacks  
Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are  
separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR)  
Note  
You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A, B  
and C jacks according to your component by using “8 I/O  
ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page 58 for details).  
video signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal.  
The labels of the component video jacks may be different depend-  
ing on the component (e.g. Y, CB, CR / Y, PB, PR / Y, B-Y, R-Y/ etc.).  
Component video signals provide the best quality in picture  
reproduction. When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO  
jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the  
component being connected.

nent is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set  
the priority of the input signal. Press INPUT MODE on the front  
panel or an input selector button (press it repeatedly) on the remote  
control to display or change the input mode.  
I Notes on the digital signal  
The digital input jacks of this unit can handle up to 192 kHz  
sampling digital signal. Both OPTICAL and COAXIAL input jacks  
can be used to input the digital signal up to 96 kHz. However when  
inputting the higher digital signals than 96 kHz, be aware the  
following points.

Input mode  
AUTO: This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the  
power of this unit. In this mode, the input signal is automatically  
selected in the following order.  
1 Digital signals  
2 Analog signals  
<When D-TV/LD is selected as the input source>  
1 Dolby Digital RF encoded signals  
2 Digital signals  
3 Analog signals  
D.D. RF: This unit only selects Dolby Digital RF signals (when D-  
TV/LD is selected as the input source).  
DTS: In this mode, only digital input signals encoded with DTS are  
selected even if other signals are input at the same time.  
DGTL: This unit only selects digital signals input through the  
OPTICAL or COAXIAL jacks (when D-TV/LD is selected as the  
input source).  
ANALOG: In this mode, only analog input signals are selected  
even if digital signals are input at the same time.  
Cautions  
• When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set  
according to “9 INPUT MODE” on the SET MENU (see page 59  
for details).  
• When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and  
OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the  
COAXIAL jack.

I 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.  
I Notes on playing an LD source  
• For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack,  
connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode  
to “AUTO” or “ANALOG”.  
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input  
mode to “ANALOG”, this unit may reproduce the noise of an  
unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, connect the source to a  
digital input jack and set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS”.  
• If the LD player is transmitting a signal by a non-standard method,  
this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this  
case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.  
• Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio  
signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input  
mode as necessary.  
• 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”.  
• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded  
with a Dolby Digital signal, if you switch from the pause or  
chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the  
PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital signal is  
played. In this case, set the input mode to “D.D.RF”.  
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input  
mode set 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.

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.  
Press PROGRAM q/w (one of the DSP program  
buttons on the remote control) to select the desired  
program.  
After selecting the desired program, press the same button  
repeatedly to select the desired sub-program if available.  
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically  
selects the last DSP program used with that source.  
Example: Each time MOVIE THEATER 1 is pressed the  
subprograms (“Spectacle” and “Sci-Fi”) switch.  
• When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current  
source and DSP program are memorized and are automati-  
cally selected when you turn on the power again.

• 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.)  
Select the source component you want to record  
from by using REC OUT/ZONE 2.  
• 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.

DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are  
independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL  
OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.  
• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot  
be recorded.  
To record the current input source that you are watching or  
listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE.  
To record the other source than the one that you are watching  
or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 to the source you want  
to record.  
• The LD q RF (AC-3) input signal cannot be output using REC  
OUT/ZONE 2.  
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records,  
CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe  
copyright laws.  
Start playback (or select a broadcast station) on the  
source component.

Start recording on the recording component.  
Notes  
• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.  
• It is not possible to record the sound effect created by this unit’s  
DSP processing.  
I 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.  
• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record  
between other components connected to this unit.  
• Operating BASS and TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, BAL-  
ANCE, VOLUME, and DSP programs do not affect the recorded  
signal.  
• Setting REC OUT/ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE and using  
the BGV function (see page 43) allows the recording of audio and  
video from a different source.  
• Use INPUT SELECTOR to switch the source from the one you  
are watching or listening to while making recordings with REC  
OUT/ZONE 2 set to the source component you are recording  
from.

I About the test tone  
Digital generator  
(wide band noise produced)  
• 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.  
You can change this center frequency from 35 Hz through 250 Hz in one-sixth octave  
steps.  
Noise  
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.

6 CINEMA EQ  
Use this feature to match the tonal quality of four groups of speakers: the main and center speaker group, the front effect speakers group, the  
rear speakers group, and the rear center speaker group. CINEMA-EQ consists of a high-shelving equalizer (HIGH) and a parametric  
equalizer (PEQ). The high-shelving equalizer changes high frequency characteristics, and the parametric equalizer boosts or cuts any selected  
frequency. The equalizer can be used for a variety of purposes, such as adjusting the tonal quality of differing types of speakers, adjusting the  
tonal quality in different installation environments, or adjusting the source sound to your liking.

13 SP DELAY  
Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center and the rear center channel sounds. This feature works when there is sound output from the  
center speakers, with a source like Dolby Digital or DTS, etc.  
Ideally, the center speaker and the rear center speaker should be the same distance from  
13 SP DELAY  
the main listening position as the left and right main speakers. However, in most home  
situations, the center speaker or the rear center speaker is placed in line with the main  
speakers or the rear speakers. By delaying the sound from the center speaker and the rear  
center speaker, the apparent distance from the center speaker and the rear center speaker  
to the main listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance  
between the left and right main speaker, and the left and right rear speakers to the listening  
position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is especially important for giving  
depth to the dialogue.

Programming a new remote control function (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.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES  
Using the Macro feature  
The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations by pressing just one button. For example, when you want to play a CD,  
normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button to start playback. The Macro feature lets you  
perform all those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The macro buttons (the input selector buttons, SYSTEM POWER and  
STANDBY) are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see pages 76 and 77).

*1 In order to turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit, connect those components to the AC  
OUTLET(S) on the rear panel. (Power control may not be synchronized with this unit depending on the component. For details, please  
refer to the operation instruction for the connected component.)  
*2 If the macro you select includes power control functions, the component may be turned off if it is already on when you press the macro  
button. For example, if your TV is on and you press the SYSTEM POWER macro button, the TV is turned off.  
*3 Playback can be started with any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorders, CD players, CD recorders and DVD players. When  
using macros to operate other components, it is either necessary to program PLAY on the control area of that component (see pages 68  
and 69) or to set up a manufacturer code (see page 66).  
*4 When TUNER is selected as the input source, this unit receives the last station when this unit is set in the standby mode.

A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or

button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or program a  
function with the remote control for your component.

Cautions  
This remote control handles button signals that operate continu-  
ously, such as volume control, as short time interval codes. Macro  
programming that include these types of macro steps are therefore  
not recommended.  
When you have finished using the Macro feature, set MACRO  
ON/OFF to OFF.  
While this unit is carrying out a macro program, this unit does not  
receive any other buttons function until the macro operation has  
been completed (the TRANSMIT indicator stops flashing).  
Continue to aim the remote control at the component the macro is  
operating until the macro operation has been completed.  
Press MACRO by using a ballpoint pen or similar

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.  
I Early reflections  
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 80 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only — for  
example, from the ceiling or a wall. These reflections provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct  
sound.  
I 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.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)  
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 in a full circle around the listener.  
The DSP sound field programs can be classified in two types based on the sound field  
processing method: programs that use early reflections only and programs that use both  
early reflections and reverberation.  
Illustration of the virtual sound sources and echo patterns  
The virtual sound sources and echo patterns for the DSP sound field programs are shown below. The illustration of the virtual sound sources  
shows early reflection sound only and the illustration of the echo patterns shows both reflected sound and reverberation.  
I Virtual sound sources

CINEMA-DSP SOUND FIELD PROGRAM  
The sound design of CINEMA-DSP sound field programs  
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 front left, center, and right 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.

MOVIE THEATER programs  
Most movie software has four-channel (left, center, right and surround) sound information encoded using Dolby Surround matrix processing  
and stored on the left and right tracks. These signals are processed by the DOLBY PRO LOGIC decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs  
are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes.  
The six-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 70 mm Programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that six-channel  
soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital decoder brings the professional quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With  
this unit’s MOVIE THEATER program, you can recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your  
living room using the Dolby Digital technology.

delayed, reproduces the live acoustics unique to a pavilion, and  
helps to make concert scenes more exciting.  
The surround sound field is relatively moderate but it reproduces  
beautiful sound using data collected from a concert hall.  
TV THEATER  
I Mono Movie  
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources  
(such as old movies). The program produces the optimum rever-  
beration to create sound depth using only the presence sound field.  
I Variety/Sports  
Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround  
sound field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall.  
With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs  
such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs.  
MOVIE THEATER 1  
I Spectacle  
I Sci-Fi  
This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70 mm  
movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail,  
making both the video and the sound fields incredibly real. This  
program is ideal for any kind of Dolby Surround video source  
(especially large-scale movie productions).  
This program clearly reproduces the broad and expansive cinematic  
space from the soundtracks of the latest science fiction films.  
MOVIE THEATER 2  
I Adventure  
I General  
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 multichan-  
nel 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  
effect of conversations without losing clarity.  
DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS SURROUND  
I Normal/EX/DTS-ES/ES Matrix 6.1/ES Dis-  
I Enhanced/EX/ES  
This program ideally simulates the multiple surround speaker  
systems of 35 mm film theaters. The Dolby Surround decoding and  
the 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.  
crete 6.1  
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.

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.  
I EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim)  
Function  
This parameter adjusts the level of all the effect sounds within a narrow range.  
Control range –3 dB – +3 dB  
Description Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the effect level relative to the  
direct sound.  
I INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)  
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.  
Control range 1 – 99 ms  
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, for a large room, set it to a large value.

I ROOM SIZE/P. ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field  
Function  
This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound  
field becomes.  
Control range 0.1 – 2.0  
Description  
As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original reflected  
sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the apparent  
size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS  
I LIVENESS  
Function  
This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections  
decay.  
Control range 0 – 10  
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.
