Playing back TV audio in surround sound with a single HDMI cable connection (Audio Return Channel: ARC) (p.33)

When using an ARC-compatible TV, you only need one HDMI cable to enable video output to the TV, audio input from the TV, and the transmission of HDMI Control signals.

More advanced ENTERTAINMENT sound programs (p.67)

By processing front left and front right sound fields individually, the ENTERTAINMENT sound programs are further improved in acoustic positioning and sound transition. These programs allow you to enjoy clearer vocal and instrumental sounds, distinct narrations, and more dynamic sound effects.

Providing a realistic feel and surround effect optimized for the scene of the content (SURROUND:AI) (p.66)

The AI incorporated in the DSP analyzes the scene of the content and creates the optimal surround effect for it. This AI instantaneously analyzes scenes by focusing on sound elements such as “dialogue”, “background music”, “ambient sounds” and “sound effects” as well as optimizes the surround effect in real time. This creates a compelling sense of realism with expressive power beyond conventional sound field effects.

Various wireless connection methods (p.56)

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 30 years, and this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers.

What is a sound field?
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”.

CINEMA DSP

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.)

CINEMA DSP HD3

“CINEMA DSP HD 3 ” 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. 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)

YPAO

YPAO is Yamaha original automatic calibration system to optimizing your sound and surround environment by using microphone measurement. It can be create ideal listening environment for maximizing high sound quality contents playback by adjusting various speakers setting and the sound field automatically.

YPAO-R.S.C.

In typical home, the sound has problems such as a blurred low-frequency range or a smearing of the acoustical sound image caused by undesirable sound reflection from the walls or ceiling. “YPAO-R.S.C.” is technology that reduces only the unwanted reflections and produces the acoustic perfection for your listening environment.

YPAO Volume

YPAO Volume automatically adjusts the high and low frequency levels at any volume level so that you hear natural sounds even at low volume.

YPAO 3D measurement

The direction (angle) of front, surround and presence speakers, and the height of presence speakers as seen from the listening position is measured, and compensation is applied to maximize the 3D sound field effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP.

YPAO 3D measurement

The direction (angle) of front, surround and presence speakers, and the height of presence speakers as seen from the listening position is measured, and compensation is applied to maximize the 3D sound field effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP.

Audio Information (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

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.

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.

HDCP
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a digital copy protection form that prevents copying of digital contents as it travels across connections (such as HDMI).

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.

Network information

SSID
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a particular wireless LAN access point.

Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the Internet wirelessly using radio waves. Wi-Fi offers the advantage of eliminating the complexity of making connections with network cables by using wireless connection. Only products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability tests can carry the “Wi-Fi Certified” trademark.

WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which allows easy establishment of a wireless home network.

Yamaha technologies

CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor)
Since the surround sound 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.

CINEMA DSP HD 3
The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA DSP HD 3 feature 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
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.

SURROUND:AI
The AI incorporated in the DSP analyzes scenes by focusing on sound elements such as “dialogue”, “background music”, “ambient sounds” and “sound effects” as well as instantaneously creates the optimal surround effect in real time. An expressive power beyond conventional single sound field effects maximizes the realistic feel.

Virtual CINEMA DSP
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.

Virtual CINEMA FRONT
Virtual CINEMA FRONT allows the system to virtually reproduce the sound field of the surround speakers with front surround speakers. Even if the surround speakers placed in the front, the unit creates the realistic sound field in a listening room.

Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS)

Information on HDMI

This section explains the functions related to HDMI and its signal compatibility.

HDMI Control

HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit (such as power and volume) with TV remote control operations. You can also control external devices (such as HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players) connected to the unit with an HDMI cable.

Operations available from the TV’s remote control

• Standby
• Volume control including mute
• Switching to input audio from the TV when the TV input is switched to its built-in tuner
• Switching to input video/audio from the selected playback device
• Switching between audio output devices (the unit or TV speaker)

(Example)

Operations available from the unit’s remote control

• Starting playback on the playback device and turning on the TV with a scene selection
• Switching the TV input to display the “Setup” menu (when SETUP is pressed)
• Controlling the external device from which video is displayed on the TV (playback and menu operations)
• Controlling the TV when you select TV audio input that is set in “TV Audio Input” in the “Setup” menu
• Controlling the TV with the color (RED/GREEN/YELLOW/BLUE) keys of the remote control when “TV Control” is set for the color keys

(Example)

HDMI Control might not work properly. For related functions and settings, refer to the following.

• For linking with the selected scene, see “Selecting the input source and favorite settings with one touch (SCENE)” (p.64).
• For setting the jack for TV audio input, see “TV Audio Input” (p.134).
• For setting the functions of the color keys, see “Color Key” (p.144).

To use HDMI Control, you need to perform the following HDMI Control link setup after connecting the TV and playback devices.
For details on settings and operating your TV, refer to the instruction manual for the TV.

This setup is required every time you add a new HDMI Control-compatible device to your system.

1. Turn on the unit, TV, and playback devices.

2. Configure the settings of the unit.

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

4. Press SETUP.

5. Use the cursor keys to select “Video/HDMI”.

6. Use the cursor keys to select “HDMI Control” and press ENTER.

7. Use the cursor keys to select “On”.

8. Press SETUP.

9. Enable HDMI Control on the TV and playback devices (such as HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players).

10. Turn off the main power of the TV and then turn off the unit and playback devices.

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

12. Check the followings.
    On the unit: The input to which the playback device is connected is selected. Ifnot, select the input source manually.
    On the TV: The video from the playback device is displayed.

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

14. 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 3 and plugging in the TV again in Step 4. 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 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.
• We do not assure the operation of all HDMI Control-compatible devices.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

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. Select a TV program with the TV remote control.
2. Check that the input source of the unit will be automatically switched to “AUDIO 1” and the TV audio will be played back on the unit. If you cannot hear the TV audio, check the following:
   • “ARC” (p.134) in the “Setup” menu is set to “On”.
   • The HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-compatible HDMI jack (HDMI jack marked “ARC”) on the TV.
   Some HDMI jack on the TV is not compatible with ARC. For details, refer to the instruction manual for the TV.

• If the audio is interrupted while using ARC, set “ARC” (p.134) in the “Setup” menu to “Off” and use an audio cable (digital optical or stereo pin cable) to input TV audio to the unit (p.33).
• When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

“AUDIO 1” is set as TV audio input at the factory. If you have connected any external device to the AUDIO 1 jacks, use “TV Audio Input” (p.134) in the “Setup” menu to change the TV audio input assignment. To use the SCENE function (p.64), you also need to change the input assignment for SCENE 7. (The settings must be changed only when SCENE 7 is used as the default (TV Viewing).)

HDMI signal compatibility

• When CPPM copy-protected DVD-Audio is played back, video/audio signals may not be output, depending on the type of the DVD player.
• The unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or DVI devices. For details, refer to the instruction manual for each device.
• To decode audio bitstream signals on the unit, set the input source device appropriately so that the device outputs the bitstream audio signals directly (does not decode the bitstream signals on the playback device). For details, refer to the instruction manual for the playback device.
