Technology

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround sources. This technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic technology. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources and “Game mode” for game sources.

HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industrysupported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. Providing an interface between any source (such as a set-top box or AV receiver) and an audio/video monitor (such as a digital television), HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as multichannel digital audio using a single cable. HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements. When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of content providers and system operators. For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website
at “http://www.hdmi.org/”.

SRS TruBass

SRS TruBass is a psychoacoustic bass enhancement technology developed by SRS Labs, Inc. for speakers and headphone systems that delivers bass up to an octave below the physical capabilities of the speaker’s driver. SRS TruBass technology takes advantage of a spontaneous tendency of the human ears to infer lowrange
audio data when presented with higher-frequency harmonic signals. As a result, our ears can hear the original low-range sound that the speaker system is incapable of producing.

EUPHONY

Euphony is a revolutionary sound field reproduction system implemented with state-of-the-art sound technologies developed under the basic concept of enjoying beautiful sound. It can reproduce surround sound optimized without depending on the number of input channels, the number of speakers (two or more speakers)
or the speaker’s dimensions. In addition, it features steady center localization. It also can reproduce the surround sound for the headphones with natural sound and “out-ofhead” localization so that the listener feels an expanded sound and will not tire, even when listening to music or a movie for long time.

CINEMA DSP Digital

･ Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having many speakers designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, Yamaha CINEMA DSP provides the audiovisual experience of a movie theater in the listening room of your own home by using the Yamaha original sound field technology combined with various digital audio systems.
･ The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of the sound images so that it creates the accurate and intensive stereoscopic sound fields in a listening room.

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.

IntelliBeam

This unit creates a sound field by reflecting sound beams on the walls of your listening room and by broadening the cohesion of all the channels. Just as you would arrange the speaker position of other audio systems, you need to set the beam angle to enjoy the best possible sound from this unit. This unit employs the beam optimization and sound optimization features with the aid of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone, allowing you to avoid troublesome listening-based setup and achieving highly accurate sound adjustments that best match your listening environment. We call these two features “IntelliBeam” generically.

YSP Technology

Digital Sound Projectors use Yamaha’s proprietary technology to bounce sound focused into beams off walls, producing true multi-channel surround sound.

The primary advantage of the YSP Series is that simply placing a unit in the front of a room provides true surround sound, which you hear from the front and rear and also the left and right. Its key technologies are the production of sound beams via the control of multiple built-in speakers, and IntelliBeam, which automatically sets the optimum sound field for the size and shape of the room. Thanks to these two technologies, the YSP Series can reproduce 7.1-channel surround sound that is natural with an expansive feeling, qualities that cannot be achieved by virtual surround systems.

Beam control technology creates sound beams.

The front surface of a YSP unit features a number of compact beam speakers* installed in orderly rows. Control of each of these speakers on a time axis by individual amps creates five sound beams. Bouncing these sound beams off walls creates a surround environment.

* YSP-2200: 16; YSP-4100, YSP-5100: 40

Superimposing sound waves from the compact speakers installed in a row and adjusting their direction by delay control causes the axes of the sound waves to converge in a specified direction.

How the sound beams are created.

Sound produced from the speakers is transmitted radially from the sound source, like an expanding ripple (Fig. 1).

The sound waves from two speakers are superimposed, creating interference (Fig. 2).

If the number of speakers in adjoining locations is increased, the sound waves are superimposed even more, so the sound is transmitted as a single strong wave. This is a sound beam (Fig. 3).

By using a processor (dedicated Yamaha LSI) to control the times when each speaker produces sound, the direction of the sound beams can be controlled (Fig. 4).

Controlling the directions of the beams to bounce them off the walls enables the sound to come from five directions: front left and right, rear left and right, and centre. Models from the YSP-4100 and up create two phantom sound sources in addition to the five beams, to provide 7.1-channel surround sound.

Sound from the speakers is transmitted radially.

Ripples of sound from two adjacent speakers are superimposed, creating interference.

The ripples of sound are further superimposed, creating a single strong wave — a sound beam.

The timing of the sounds from each speaker are delayed, controlling the direction of the beams.

Time control

IntelliBeam automatically sets the listening environment best suited to the room.

When the microphone is placed at the listening position, it searches for the places suitable for reflecting the beams while it checks the size and shape of the room and the quality of the wall material, in order to automatically adjust the beam angle, the volume and the sound quality. This makes it easy to achieve the best surround sound environment.

Presence created by true surround.

YSP models achieve real multi-channel surround by, not virtually but actually, bouncing sound beams off walls. This provides three major benefits.

Natural ambience

YSP models naturally expand the sound radiated onto the walls, producing surround sound without the unnatural feeling of sound linkages between the channels.

Wide listening area

YSP models provide ideal family listening, because the listening area is wider than with conventional virtual surround sound.

Less individual differences and listening fatigue.

Ordinary virtual surround systems often sound different to different people because the surround sound is created artificially. This causes some people to become tired of listening after a certain amount of time. With YSP models, sound bounced off walls actually comes from behind the listeners, which means there is little difference in its effect between individuals, and people are unlikely to experience listening fatigue, even after long periods.
