Playing back with surround effects
optimized for the scene (SURROUND:AI)
With SURROUND:AI, the AI incorporated in the DSP creates the optimal
surround effect for the scene of the content.
Scenes are instantaneously analyzed with a focus on sound elements
such as “dialogue”, “background music”, “ambient sounds” and “sound
effects” as well as optimized in real time to create a compelling sense of
realism.

Enjoying stereoscopic sound fields
(CINEMA DSP HD
3
)
The unit is equipped with a variety of sound programs that utilize
Yamaha’s original DSP technology (CINEMA DSP HD
3
). It allows you to
easily create sound fields like actual movie theaters or concert halls in
your room and enjoy natural stereoscopic sound fields.

• The unit creates front Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and
surround speakers to produce 3-dimensional sound fields even when no front
presence speakers are connected. However, we recommend using front presence
speakers in order to experience the full effect of the sound fields (and rear presence
speakers for further spatial sounds) (p.141).
• The unit creates rear Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and
surround speakers to produce natural 3-dimensional sound fields when front
presence speakers are connected but no rear presence speakers (p.141).
• If a multichannel source (6.1 channels or more) is input when no surround back
speakers are connected, the unit creates Virtual Surround Back Speaker (VSBS) using
the surround speakers to add a sense of depth to the rear sound field (p.141).
• When VPS or VSBS is working, “VIRTUAL” lights up in the front display.
