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.
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.
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.
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.

Reverberation
Direct sound
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.
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 natural 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.

the display.) If, however, the signal of a stereo
broadcast is weak, it may be received in monaural
automatically. (In this case, the “ST” indicator goes
off.)
● FM monaural
Any broadcast is received in monaural. (On the display,
“M” appears above the frequency.) If you hear noise in
the FM auto stereo mode, try switching to FM
monaural.
