Straight Decode
This unit is equipped with various precise decoders;
• Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound
• Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES decoder for an additional rear center channel
• DTS 96/24 decoder for the high quality playback of the DTS 96/24 signal at the sampling frequency 96 kHz.
• Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic /DTS Neo:6 decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources
Select any of the STRAIGHT DECODE modes in Program 11 (except for the sub-program "Enhanced.") to use any of
these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied
and the DSP indicator turns off.
Sound Field Effect
The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without
using matrix processing. This unit's MOVIE THEATER programs provide the same quality of sound and sound
localization that 6-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality
sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With this unit's MOVIE THEATER programs, you can recreate a
dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your listening room by using Dolby Digital or
DTS technology.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
These programs use YAMAHA's tri-field DSP processing
on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front,
left surround and right surround channels. This processing
enables this unit to reproduce the immense sound field
and surround expression of a Dolby Digital- or DTS-
equipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear
separation of all channels.
Most movie software has 4-channel (left, center, right and
surround) sound information encoded by Dolby Surround
matrix processing and stored on the left and right tracks.
These signals are processed by the Dolby Pro Logic
decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs for 2-channel
sources are designed to recreate the spaciousness and
delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the
encoding and decoding processes.
