CINEMA DSP Programmes and THX Programmes
One of the main advantages of CINEMA DSP is the
large choice of sound field programmes available.
The basic programme for movies is Enhanced,
which greatly improves the sound of the surround
fields. The "largest" of these sound fields is
Spectacle, which recreates the open feeling of
large-scale, epic motion pictures. The Sci-Fi,
Adventure and General programmes provide the
optimum sound fields for those movie genres. There
are also THX programmes*.
* THX Ultra2/Select are the surround programmes for home use,
based on the THX Theater processing developed for movie
theatre surround sound.
Night Listening Enhancer
During low-volume listening, such as late at night,
dynamic range suffers and you may miss some
sounds. The Night Listening Enhancer offers two
modes, Cinema and Music, with three-level
selectability, which will ensure that you don’t miss
movie dialogue or quiet passages, or lose overall
surround spaciousness. It works for all surround
programmes, including Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
Enjoy Surround Sound through Headphones
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 multichannel sources for hours
without listening fatigue.
Surround Sound from Only Two Speakers
With just two left and right speakers, the Virtual
CINEMA DSP mode will create two additional
“virtual” surround speakers, giving you the sense of
being in a full-scale surround sound field. So even
in rooms with no space for surround speakers, you
can enjoy the exciting effects of Dolby Digital and
DTS movie sound formats.
