Enjoying sound field effects (CINEMA DSP)

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

Drama

This program features stable reverberations that match a wide range of
movie genres, from serious dramas to musicals and comedies. The
reverberations are modest, but suitably stereophonic. The sound effects
and background music are reproduced with a gentle echo that does not
impinge on the articulation of the dialogue. You’ll never get tired listening for
long periods.

Mono Movie

This program reproduces monaural video sources, such as classic movies,
in an atmosphere of a good old movie theater. The program creates a
pleasant space with depth, by adding breadth and the appropriate
reverberation to the original audio.

Sports

This program allows listeners to enjoy the rich vividness of sport broadcasts
and light entertainment programs. In sports broadcasts, the commentators’
voices are positioned clearly at the center, while the atmosphere inside the
stadium is realistically conveyed by the peripheral delivery of the sounds of
the fans in a suitable space.

Action Game

This program is suitable for action games, such as car racing and fighting
games. The reality of, and emphasis on, various effects makes the player
feel like they are right in the middle of the action, allowing for greater
concentration. Use this program in combination with Compressed Music
Enhancer for a more dynamic and strong sound field.

Roleplaying Game

This program is suitable for role-playing and adventure games. This
program adds depth to the sound field for natural and realistic reproduction
of background music, special effects, and dialogue from a wide variety of
scenes. Use this program in combination with Compressed Music
Enhancer for a clearer and more spatial sound field.

■ Sound programs suitable for movies (MOVIE)
The following sound programs are optimized for viewing video sources, such as
movies, TV programs, and games.

Standard

This program creates a sound field that emphasizes the surround feeling
without disturbing the original acoustic positioning of multichannel audio,
such as Dolby Digital and DTS. Its design is based on the concept of the
ideal movie theater, in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful
reverberations from the left, right, and rear.

Spectacle

This program delivers the scale and grandeur of spectacular movie
productions. It delivers an expansive sound space to match the
cinemascope wide-screen, and boasts a broad dynamic range, providing
everything from small delicate sounds to powerful loud booms.

Sci-Fi

This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the
latest Sci-Fi and SFX movies. You can enjoy a variety of
cinematographically created virtual spaces reproduced with clear
separation between dialogue, sound effects, and background music.

Adventure

This program is ideal for reproducing the sound design of action and
adventure movies precisely. The sound field restrains reverberations, but
puts emphasis on reproducing a sensation of expansiveness on both sides,
powerful space expanded widely to the left and right. The restrained depth
creates a clear and powerful space, while also maintaining the articulation
of the sounds and the separation of the channels.

■ Enjoying sound field effects without surround speakers
(Virtual CINEMA DSP)

The following sound programs are optimized for listening to music sources.

If you select one of the sound programs (except 2ch Stereo and 5ch Stereo) when no
surround speakers are connected, the unit automatically creates the surround sound
field using the front-side speakers.

You can also select stereo playback.

Hall in Munich

This program simulates a Munich concert hall with approximately 2,500
seats that uses stylish wood for the interior finishing. Fine, beautiful
reverberations spread richly, creating a calming atmosphere. The listener’s
virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.

Hall in Vienna

This program simulates a 1700-seat, middle-sized concert hall with a
shoebox shape that is traditional in Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings
create extremely complex reverberations from all around the audience,
producing a very full, rich sound.

You can enjoy the surround sound even when the surround speakers are placed in
front.

Chamber

This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling, like an
audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable
for courtly music and chamber music.

■ Enjoying surround sound with headphones
(SILENT CINEMA)

Cellar Club

This program simulates an intimate concert venue with a low ceiling and
homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field delivers powerful sounds
that make you feel as if you are sitting in the front row in front of a small
stage.

The Roxy Theatre

This program creates the sound field of a 460-seat rock music concert
venue in Los Angeles. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the
hall.

The Bottom Line

This program creates the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a
famous New York jazz club once. The floor can seat 300 people to the left
and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.

Music Video

This program allows you to enjoy videos of pop, rock, and jazz concerts, as
if you were there yourself. Immerse yourself in the hot concert atmosphere
thanks to the vividness of the singers and solos on stage, a presence
sound field that emphasizes the beat of rhythm instruments, and a surround
sound field that reproduces the space of a big live hall.

2ch Stereo

Use this program to mix down multichannel sources to 2 channels. When
multichannel signals are input, they are down mixed to 2 channels and
output from the front speakers (this program does not utilize CINEMA DSP).

5ch Stereo

Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you play back
multichannel sources, the unit mixes down the source to 2 channels, and
then outputs the sound from all speakers. This program creates a larger
sound field and is ideal for background music at parties.

■ Enjoying surround sound with 5 speakers placed in

You can enjoy surround or sound field effects, like a multichannel speaker system, with
stereo headphones by connecting the headphones to the PHONES jack and selecting

Frequently asked questions
The new speaker system does not provide an ideal sound
balance...

I made HDMI connections but HDMI Control does not work at
all...

If you have changed speakers or have a new speaker system, use YPAO to optimize
the speaker settings again (p.26). If you want to adjust the speaker settings manually,
use “Speaker” in the “Setup” menu (p.54).

To use HDMI Control, you need to perform the HDMI Control link setup (p.76). After
connecting HDMI Control-compatible devices (such as BD/DVD players) to the unit,
enable HDMI Control on each device and perform the HDMI Control link setup. This
setup is required every time you add a new HDMI Control-compatible device to your
system. For information on how HDMI Control works between your TV and playback
devices, refer to the instruction manuals for each device.

Since we have small children, we want to set limitations on the
volume control...
If a small child accidentally operates the controls on the main unit or remote control, the
volume may suddenly increase. This may also cause injury or damage the unit or
speakers. We recommend using “Max Volume” in the “Setup” menu to set the maximum
volume level for the unit in advance (p.60).

I am occasionally startled by a sudden loud sound when turning
on the unit...
By default, the volume level when the unit last entered standby mode is automatically
applied. If you want to fix the volume, use “Initial Volume” in the “Setup” menu to set the
volume to be applied when the receiver is turned on (p.60).

We are bothered by volume differences when switching
between input sources…
You can correct volume differences between input sources by utilizing “Input Trim” in
the “Option” menu (p.49).

I want to display a device name or a manufacture name on the
front display when selecting an input source...
By default, input source names (such as “HDMI 1” and “AV 1”) are displayed on the
front display when an input source is selected. If you want to rename them as you like,
use “Input Rename” (p.62) in the “Setup” menu. You can also select a name from the
presets (such as “Blu-ray” and “DVD”).

I want to prevent accidental changes to the settings...
You can protect the settings configured on the unit (such as speaker settings) by
utilizing “Memory Guard” in the “Setup” menu (p.62).

The unit’s remote control is simultaneously controlling another
Yamaha product as well as the unit...
When using multiple Yamaha products, the remote control may work on another

“Music mode” for music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources, and “Game mode” for game sources.

Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is an advanced lossless audio format developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. to offer a
high-definition home theater experience with the quality of the studio master. Dolby TrueHD can carry up to
eight channels of 96 kHz/24-bit audio (up to six channels of 192 kHz/24-bit audio) simultaneously. This
technology is used for audio on BD (Blu-ray discs).

DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is a compressed digital audio format that supports 5.1-channel and 96 kHz/24-bit audio. This
format remains fully compatible with the existing multichannel audio systems that support DTS Digital
Surround. This technology is used for music DVDs, etc.

DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is a compressed digital audio format developed by DTS, Inc. that supports
5.1-channel audio. This technology is used for audio on most DVD discs.

DTS-ES
DTS-ES creates total 6.1-channel audio from 5.1-channel sources that are recorded with DTS-ES. This
decoder adds a surround back sound to the original 5.1-channel sound. In the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format, a
surround back sound is recorded in the surround channels, and in the DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 format, a
discrete surround back channel is recorded.

DTS Express
DTS Express is a compressed digital audio format that supports 5.1-channel audio and allows a higher
compression rate than the DTS Digital Surround format developed by DTS, Inc. This technology is
developed for audio streaming services on the Internet and secondary audio on BD (Blu-ray discs).

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a compressed digital audio format developed by DTS, Inc. that supports
7.1-channel and 96 kHz/24-bit audio. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio remains fully compatible with the
existing multichannel audio systems that support DTS Digital Surround. This technology is used for audio on
most BD (Blu-ray discs).

DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology stores audio signals on digital storage media, such as SACD (Super
Audio CDs). The signals are stored at a high-frequency sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz. The highest
frequency response is equal to or higher than 100 kHz, with a dynamic range of 120 dB. This technology
offers better audio quality than that used for CDs.

MP3
One of the compressed digital audio format used by MPEG. With psychoacoustic technologies, this
compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of compressing data
quantity by about 1/10 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.

MPEG-4 AAC
An MPEG-4 audio standard. It is used for mobile telephones, portable audio players, and audio streaming
services on Internet because it allows a high compression rate of data while maintaining better audio quality
than MP3.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded, and transmitted. This
technology is the basis of all other audio format. This technology is used as a lossless audio format called
Linear PCM for audio on a variety of media, including CDs and Blu-ray discs.

Sampling frequency/Quantization bit
Sampling frequency and quantization bits indicate the quantity of information when an analog audio signal
is digitized. These values are noted as in the following example: “48 kHz/24-bit”.
• Sampling frequency
Sampling frequency (the number of times the signal is sampled per second) is called the sampling rate.
When the sampling frequency is higher, the range of frequencies that can be played back are wider.
• Quantization bit
The number of quantization bits indicate the degree of accuracy when converting the sound level into a
numeric value. When the number of quantized bits is higher, the expression of the sound level is more
accurate.

WAV
Windows standard audio file format, which defines the method of recording the digital data obtained by
converting audio signals. By default, the PCM method (no compression) is used, but you can also use other
compression methods.

APPENDIX ➤ Glossary

00_RX-V377_om_U.book Page 74 Friday, October 18, 2013 1:13 PM

WMA (Windows Media Audio)
One of the compressed digital audio formats developed by Microsoft Corporation. With psychoacoustic
technologies, this compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of
compressing data quantity by about 1/20 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.

■ Others
LFE (Low Frequency Effects) 0.1 channel
This channel reproduces low-frequency bass signals and has a frequency range from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This
channel is added to the channels for all bands with Dolby Digital or DTS to enhance low frequency audio
effects. This channel is labeled 0.1 because it is limited to only low frequency audio.

Lip sync
Video output sometimes lags behind audio output due to the complexity of signal processing caused by an
increase in video signal capacity. Lip sync is a technique for automatically correcting the timing lag
between audio and video output.

HDMI and video information

Yamaha technologies
CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor)
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is
best experienced in a theater that has many speakers designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions
(such as room size, wall material, and number of speakers) can differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are
differences in the sound that you hear. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, CINEMA DSP,
Yamaha’s original DSP technology provides the audiovisual experience of a movie theater in your own
home.

Compressed Music Enhancer
The Compressed Music Enhancer feature compensates for missing harmonics in compression music
formats (such as MP3). As a result, this technology provides improved performance for the overall sound
system.

SILENT CINEMA
Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for
headphones have been set for each sound program, so that accurate representations of all the sound
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.

Virtual CINEMA DSP
Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for luminance and
the Pb and Pr signals for chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because
each of these signals is independent.

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows the system to virtually reproduce the sound field of the surround speakers with
front left and right speakers. Even if the surround speakers are not connected, the unit creates the realistic
sound field in a listening room.

Composite video signal
With the composite video signal system, color, brightness, and synchronization data signals are combined
and transmitted with a single cable.

Deep Color
Deep Color is a technology that HDMI specification supports. Deep Color increases the number of available
colors within the boundaries defined by the RGB or YCbCr color space. Conventional color systems
process the color using 8 bits. Deep Color processes the color with 10, 12, or 16 bits. This technology
allows HDTVs and other displays to increase from millions of colors to billions of colors and eliminate
on-screen color banding for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors.

HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the world-wide standard interface for digital audio/video
signal transmission. This interface transmits both digital audio and digital video signals using a single cable
without any loss. HDMI complies with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and provides a
secure audio/video interface. For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at
“http://www.hdmi.org/”.

x.v.Color
“x.v.Color” is a technology that the HDMI specification supports. It is a more extensive color space than
sRGB and allows the expression of colors that were not hitherto possible. While remaining compatible with
the color gamut of sRGB standards, “x.v.Color” expands the color space, and thus can produce more vivid,
natural images.

Turn on the unit and playback devices and then turn on the TV.

ARC allows you to input TV audio to the unit with the HDMI cable which transmits video
signal to the TV.
Check the following after the HDMI Control settings.

1
2

Select a TV program with the TV remote control.
Check that the input source of the unit will be automatically switched
to “AV 4” and the TV audio will be played back on the unit.
If you cannot hear the TV audio, check the following:
– “ARC” (p.57) in the “Setup” menu is set to “On”.

Switch the TV input to display the video from the unit.

– The HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-compatible HDMI jack (HDMI jack
marked “ARC”) on the TV.

Check the followings.

Some HDMI jack on the TV is not compatible with ARC. For details, refer to the
instruction manual for the TV.

On the unit: The input to which the playback device is connected is selected.
If not, select the input source manually.
On the TV: The video from the playback device is displayed.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

Check that the unit is properly synchronized with the TV by turning
off the TV or adjusting the TV volume with the TV remote control.

• If HDMI Control does not work properly, try unplugging the TV in Step 2 and plugging in the TV again in
Step 3. It may solve the problem. Also, HDMI Control may not work if the number of connected devices
exceeds the limit. In this case, disable HDMI Control on the devices not in use.

• If the audio is interrupted while using ARC, set “ARC” (p.57) in the “Setup” menu to “Off” and use a digital
optical cable to input TV audio to the unit (p.18).
• When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

• “AV 4” is set as TV audio input at the factory. If you have connected any external device to the AV 4 jacks,
use “TV Audio Input” (p.57) in the “Setup” menu to change the TV audio input assignment. To use the
SCENE function (p.31), you also need to change the input assignment for SCENE (TV).

• If the unit is not synchronized to the TV’s power operations, check the priority of the audio output setting on
the TV.
• We recommend using TV and playback devices from the same manufacturer so that HDMI Control works
more effectively.

Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)
The Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) function detects speaker connections, measures the distances from them to your listening position(s), and
then automatically optimizes the speaker settings, such as volume balance and acoustic parameters, to suit your room.

Note the following regarding YPAO measurement
• Test tones are output at high volume and may surprise or frighten small children.
• Test tone volume cannot be adjusted.
• Keep the room as quiet as possible.

1
2

Press RECEIVER (\) to turn on the unit.

Turn on the subwoofer and set the volume
to half. If the crossover frequency is
adjustable, set it to maximum.

Place the YPAO microphone at your
listening position and connect it to the
YPAO MIC jack on the front panel.

To start the measurement, press SETUP.

• If any error message (such as E-1) or warning message
(such as W-2) appears, see “Error messages” or
“Warning messages” in the Owner’s Manual.
• If the warning message “W-1:Out of Phase” appears,
see “If “W-1:Out of Phase” appears”.

The screen 6 -4 appears.

Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position
(same height as your ears). We recommend the use of
a tripod as a microphone stand. You can use the tripod
screws to stabilize the microphone.

• Stay in a corner of the room behind the listening position so that you do not become
an obstacle between speakers and the YPAO microphone.
• Do not connect headphones.

The measurement will start in 10 seconds.
It takes about 3 minutes to measure.
The screen 6 -5 appears on the TV when the
measurement ﬁnishes.

Turn on the TV and switch the TV input to
display video from the unit (HDMI OUT
jack).

Use the cursor keys (G/T) to select
“SAVE” (Save) (screen 6 -6) and press
ENTER.
Disconnect the YPAO microphone from the
unit.

If “W-1:Out of Phase” appears (

-A)

Follow the procedure below to check the speaker
connections.
The speaker indicator in the front display will blink for
a problem speaker.
Check cable connections (+/-) for the problem
speaker.
If the speaker is connected incorrectly:
Turn off the unit, reconnect the speaker cable, and then
try YPAO measurement again.
If the speaker is connected correctly:
Depending on the type of speakers or room environment,
this message may appear even if the speakers are
connected correctly.
In this case, ignore the message and proceed to step 6.

Optimisation automatique des réglages d’enceintes (YPAO)
La fonction Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) permet de détecter les raccordements des enceintes et de mesurer la distance entre ces
dernières et la position d’écoute. Elle optimise ensuite automatiquement les réglages des enceintes tels que les paramètres d’équilibre du volume et les paramètres
acoustiques qui conviennent à la pièce.

Veuillez noter les points suivants concernant la mesure YPAO
• Les signaux tests étant émis à un volume élevé, ils peuvent surprendre ou effrayer
les jeunes enfants.
• Le volume du signal test ne peut pas être réglé.

Appuyez sur RECEIVER (\) pour mettre
l’unité sous tension.

3

Allumez le caisson de graves et réglez
le volume à moitié. Si la fréquence de
coupure est réglable, réglez-la sur la valeur
maximale.

Placez le microphone YPAO sur la position
d’écoute et branchez-le sur la prise YPAO
MIC sur le panneau avant.
L’écran 6 -4 apparaît.

Placez le microphone YPAO à votre position d’écoute
(à hauteur d’oreilles). Nous conseillons l’utilisation d’un
trépied comme support de microphone. Lorsque vous
utilisez un trépied, utilisez les vis de ce dernier pour
stabiliser le microphone.

This completes optimization of the speaker settings.

Playing back a BD/DVD
Now let’s play back a BD/DVD.
We recommend playing back multichannel audio (5.1-channel or more) to feel surround sound produced by the unit.

Turn on the BD/DVD player.
Press HDMI 1 to select “HDMI 1” as the
input source.
Start playback on the BD/DVD player.

Press STRAIGHT repeatedly to select
“STRAIGHT”.

Press VOLUME to adjust the volume.

This completes the basic setup procedure.
When “STRAIGHT” (straight decode) is enabled, each
speaker produces each channel audio signal directly
(without sound ﬁeld processing).

When surround sound is not heard, or no sound is output from a
speciﬁc speaker, see “Troubleshooting” in the Owner’s Manual.

• Faites en sorte que la pièce soit le plus calme possible.
• Restez dans un coin de la pièce derrière la position d’écoute aﬁn de ne pas faire
obstacle entre les enceintes et le microphone YPAO.
• Ne raccordez pas d’écouteurs.

Pour lancer la mesure, appuyez sur SETUP.
La mesure commence dans les 10 secondes.
La mesure dure environ 3 minutes.
Lorsque la mesure est terminée, l’écran 6 -5
apparaît sur le moniteur TV.

Mettez le téléviseur sous tension et
changez la source d’entrée afin d’afficher
l’image à partir de l’unité (prise HDMI
OUT).

Do not leave the YPAO microphone in a place where it will
be exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature for an
extended period of time.

Utilisez les touches du curseur (G/T) pour
sélectionner « SAVE » (Save) (écran 6 -6)
et appuyez sur ENTER.
Débranchez le microphone YPAO de l’unité.

Si « W-1:Out of Phase » apparaît (

-A)

Procédez comme indiqué ci-dessous pour vériﬁer les
raccordements des enceintes.
Le témoin d’enceinte sur l’afﬁcheur de la face avant
clignote en cas d’enceinte défectueuse.
Contrôlez les raccordements des câbles (+ et -) de
l’enceinte défectueuse.
Si l’enceinte est mal raccordée :
Éteignez l’unité, rebranchez le câble d’enceinte, puis
réessayez la mesure YPAO.
Si l’enceinte est bien raccordée :
Selon le type d’enceintes ou l’environnement, ce
message peut apparaître, même si les enceintes sont
correctement raccordées.
Dans ce cas, ignorez le message et passez à l’étape 6.

Ne laissez pas le microphone YPAO dans un endroit
où il sera exposé aux rayons directs du soleil ou à une
température élevée pendant une période prolongée.

L’optimisation des réglages d’enceintes est maintenant
terminée.

Lecture d’un disque BD/DVD
À présent, lisons un disque BD/DVD.
Nous vous recommandons de lire le son multivoie (5.1 voies ou plus) pour sentir le son d’ambiance émis par l’unité.

Allumez le lecteur de disques BD/DVD.
Appuyez sur HDMI 1 pour sélectionner
« HDMI 1 » comme source d’entrée.
Lancez la lecture sur le lecteur de disques
BD/DVD.

Appuyez à plusieurs reprises
sur STRAIGHT pour sélectionner
« STRAIGHT ».

Appuyez sur VOLUME pour régler le
volume.

Ceci termine la procédure de conﬁguration de base.
Lorsque « STRAIGHT » (décodage direct) est activé,
chaque enceinte produit directement le signal audio de sa
propre voie (sans traitement du champ sonore).

Si vous n’entendez pas le son d’ambiance ou si aucun son n’est
émis d’une enceinte spéciﬁque, voir « Guide de dépannage »
dans le Mode d’emploi.
