* CINEMA DSP Digital
Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies
to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more
advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields
that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With
dialogue, music and effects from ideally located in these separate sound
fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement,
exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It
will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in
the middle of your own immense theater! The decoding circuitry performs
Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS Digital
Surround, DTS-ES (DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1), DTS Neo:6
and DTS 96/24 decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as all digital
sound field processing. A THX Select mode is provided as an extra
listening option.
* Digital ToP-ART
Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) is the name
Yamaha has given to a design philosophy whose goal is to maximize
digital quality while minimizing analog circuitry. The culmination of
Yamaha's long experience in digital engineering and design, it brings
together several key elements to create the best-sounding, A/V
components available on the market.
* Dolby Digital EX
This surround format from Dolby Digital includes an added center rear
channel. The rear center channel is actually matrixed into the two rear
channels, and is extracted upon playback. (Formerly called Dolby Digital
Surround EX, or Dolby Digital Matrix 6.1.)
* SILENT CINEMA and Virtual CINEMA DSP
SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound
through ordinary headphones! This is a variation of CINEMA DSP
technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private to movies
and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue.
Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround
sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in custom
installations where some rooms don't have surround speakers). It can be
used with the front/center/presence speakers or even with just the two
front left and right speakers.
* XM - XM Ready
These receivers are XM SATELLiTE RADiO (XM Ready), allowing you to hear
over 150 digital channels of music, news, sports, talk and entertainment
from America's number one Satellite Radio service. With the addition of
the XM Connect and Play digital antenna accessory (sold seperately) just
subscribe to XM SATELLiTE RADiO and hear radio as it was meant to be!
* 6 Channel External Input
6 additional input jacks for discrete multi-channel input. Front (Left,
Center, Right), Rear (Surround Left & Right) and Subwoofer
* DTS-ES Discrete 6.1
In this format, the back surround channel is matrix encoded into the
left and right surround channels. For playback, the three channels are
separately decoded.
* Neural Surround
Neural Surround, a proprietary audio format that embeds the rich
envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound and is 100%
compatible with stereo content. Chosen by XM Satellite Radio as the
format for their 24/7 XM HD Surround programming.
* XM HD Surround Sound
XM and Neural Audio Corporation announce XM HD Surround, which provides
content with six discrete channels of digital full fidelity audio
powered by Neural Audio technology. Marking the first time that a radio
company has broadcast in 5.1 Surround Sound twenty-four hours a day.
Beginning in April 2006, XM will broadcast the Fine Tuning (XM Channel
76) and the classical pops music channel XM Pops (XM Channel 113) in XM
HD Surround. XM will also broadcast a variety of special shows and live
music performances at the XM studios in XM HD Surround.
* Compressed Music Enhancer
Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive
algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of
compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed
Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother,
bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible.
