CINEMA DSP The excitement of a concert hall and the powerful sense of being inside a movie - we all want to enjoy these experiences in our own living room. Yamaha has pursued the fulfillment of these desires for more than 20 years, and this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers. What is a sound field? CINEMA DSP/CINEMA DSP 3D We perceive sound from a voice or an instrument not only as the sounds that are heard directly but also as the "reflected" or "reverberant" sound that has been reflected by the walls or ceiling of the building. The character of the reflected and reverberant sound is affected by the shape, size, and material of the building, and all of these sounds taken together are what give us the auditory sensation of being in that specific place. This unique acoustical character of a specific space is what we call the "sound field". Conceptual diagram of a concert hall's sound field Yamaha has accumulated a massive amount of acoustical data by analyzing the actual sound fields of concert halls and performance spaces around the world. "CINEMA DSP" allows this data to be applied to create sound fields. This unit contains a wide variety of sound programs using CINEMA DSP. By selecting a sound program that is appropriate to the content of the playback source such as movies, music, or games, you can maximize the acoustical effectiveness of that specific content. (For example, a sound program designed for movies can give you the sensation of actually being in that scene.) In addition, the "CINEMA DSP 3D" function uses 3-dimensional sound field data that includes the axis of height, generating an even more realistic sound field with a spatial sense. CINEMA DSP HD3 Conceptual diagram of a sound field created by the unit "CINEMA DSP HD³" is Yamaha's flagship 3D sound field playback technology that takes full advantage of the massive amount of acoustic reflection data included in the sound field data. With support for rear presence speaker output, it delivers more than twice as much capability for generating acoustic reflections as conventional CINEMA DSP 3D, in addition to high-frequency playback capability, delivering an utterly natural and powerful spatial sound field. Capability for reproducing reflections (when the sound program "Hall in Munich" is selected) CINEMA DSP HD³ Level CINEMA DSP 3D Time Optimizing speaker settings for the environment (YPAO) The included YPAO microphone can be used to analyze the environment so that this information can be used to automatically adjust various settings for the speakers and the sound field. This allows the distinctive character of the content you are hearing to be maximized, and optimizes the effectiveness of Yamaha's sound field generating technology for your specific listening environment. YPAO-R.S.C. In rooms that have not been designed or constructed with acoustics in mind, reflections from the walls or ceiling can cause problems such as a blurred low-frequency range or a smearing of the acoustical image. "YPAO-R.S.C." is technology that reduces only the unwanted reflections that can be difficult to avoid in a typical home. This corrects the tonal changes and inconsistencies in the sound field that can occur due to speaker placement, thus creating a listening environment comparable to that of a room specifically designed for acoustic perfection. Level Compensation Time Angle measurement The direction (angle) of the front speakers, surround speakers, and presence speakers as seen from the listening position is measured, and compensation is applied to the sound field in Microphone base order to maximize the effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP sound field.
