CINEMA DSP  
Optimizing speaker settings  
for the environment (YPAO)  
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 20 years, and  
this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers.  
The included YPAO microphone can be used to analyze  
the environment so that this information can be used to  
automatically adjust various settings for the speakers and  
the sound field. This allows the distinctive character of the  
content you are hearing to be maximized, and optimizes  
the effectiveness of Yamaha's sound field generating  
technology for your specific listening environment.  
What is a sound field?  
CINEMA DSP/CINEMA DSP 3D  
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.  
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.)  
In addition, the “CINEMA DSP 3D” function uses  
3-dimensional sound field data that includes the axis of  
height, generating an even more realistic sound field  
with a spatial sense.  
YPAO-R.S.C.  
In rooms that have not been designed or constructed  
with acoustics in mind, reflections from the walls or  
ceiling can cause problems such as a blurred  
low-frequency range or a smearing of the acoustical  
image. “YPAO-R.S.C.” is technology that reduces only  
the unwanted reflections that can be difficult to avoid in  
a typical home. This corrects the tonal changes and  
inconsistencies in the sound field that can occur due to  
speaker placement, thus creating a listening  
This unique acoustical character of a specific space is  
what we call the “sound field”.

“CINEMA DSP HD³” 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. With support for rear presence speaker  
output, 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)  
The direction (angle) of the front  
speakers, surround speakers,  
and presence speakers as seen  
from the listening position is  
measured, and compensation  
is applied to the sound field in  
order to maximize the  
effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP sound field.

Unrivaled audio and video quality  
High-resolution music enhancer  
Expandable to meet diverse needs  
Support for bi-amp connections and  
external power amp expansion  
Multi-zone function  
The multi-zone function (p.90) allows you to play back  
different input sources in the room where the unit is  
installed (main zone) and in other rooms (such as Zone2).  
Hi-bit high-sampling extension up to 96 kHz / 24-bit can  
be applied to lossless 44.1/48 kHz content such as from a  
CD (2-channel PCM) or a FLAC file for further heightening  
of the musicality in the original content (p.101)  
To obtain even high audio quality, you can connect front  
speakers that support power amp expansion, or  
expand your system by adding an external power amp  
(such as a Hi-Fi amp).  
(The following shows examples of use.)

The unit has 9 built-in amplifiers. You can connect 2 to 11 speakers and up to 2 subwoofers to create the favorite acoustic space in your room.  
You can also apply bi-amp connections, channel expansion (using an external power amplifier) or multi-zone configurations to enhance your system (p.24).  
Caution  
• Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers.  
For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.21).

• We recommend using presence speakers to have a full effect of the 3-dimensional sound fields. However,  
the unit creates Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center and surround speakers to produce  
3-dimensional sound fields even when no presence speakers are connected (p.64).

• Use “Ideal speaker layout” (diagram on the right) as reference. You do not need to exactly adjust the  
speaker layout to this diagram since the YPAO function of the unit will automatically optimize the speaker  
settings (such as distances) to suit the speaker layout.  
• When using only one surround back speaker, place it straight behind the listening position (middle of “SBL”  
and “SBR” in the diagram).

About 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’s  
power and volume with the TV’s remote control. You can also control playback  
devices (such as an HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD player) connected to the  
unit with an HDMI cable. For details, see “HDMI Control” (p.158).  
• By connecting a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable, any video input to the unit can be output to the TV,  
regardless of the method used to connect the video device to the unit. For details, see “Video signal flow”  
(p.156).  
You can connect another TV or a projector by using the HDMI OUT 2 jack (p.40).  
About Audio Return Channel (ARC)  
ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways under HDMI Control. If you connect a  
TV that supports HDMI Control and ARC to the unit with a single HDMI cable, you  
can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.

• If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the unit,  
as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to  
configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network  
parameters manually (p.123).  
You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in  
“Network” (p.132) in the “Information” menu.  
• Unwind only the length of cable needed from the AM antenna unit.  
• The wires of the AM antenna have no polarity.  
• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router)  
may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the  
security software or firewall settings appropriately.  
• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.  
To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.

If you select “MULTI CH” as the input source by pressing MULTI on the remote control,  
the audio played back on the device will be output from the unit.  
You can select a video source to be displayed when “MULTI CH” is selected as the input source using  
“Video Out” (p.104) in the “Input” menu. When connecting a video device (such as a DVD player) to the  
MULTI CH INPUT jacks, use the input jack specified in “Video Out” for the video connection.  
• Since the unit does not redirect signals input to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing  
speakers, make appropriate settings on the external device (such as a DVD player) that suit to the speaker  
configuration.  
• When “MULTI CH” is selected as the input source, sound mode selection and tone control adjustment are  
not available.

ENTERTAINMENT  
Sound programs suitable for movies (MOVIE)  
The following sound programs are optimized for viewing video sources, such as  
movies, TV programs, and games.  
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.  
Sports  
MOVIE THEATER  
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.  
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.  
Standard  
Action Game  
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.  
This program is suitable for role-playing and adventure games. This  
program adds depth to the sound field for natural and realistic reproduction  
Spectacle  
Sci-Fi  
Roleplaying Game 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.  
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.  
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.  
Music Video  
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.  
This program controls the amount of reverberations at an optimum level and  
emphasizes the depth and clarity of human voices to offer the  
reverberations of an orchestra box in front the listener at the same time as  
providing the acoustic positioning and feeling of presence on the stage.  
The surround sound field is relatively moderate, but the data for concert hall  
effects are used to represent the inherent beauty of music. The listener will  
not be fatigued even after long hours of opera entertainment.  
Adventure  
Recital/Opera  
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.  
Drama  
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.

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.

producing a very full, rich sound.  
The large, shoe box shaped hall seats about 2,200 around the circle stage.  
Hall in Amsterdam  
Reflections are rich and pleasing while the sound travels freely.  
STEREO  
Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church has a  
pointed tower at 120 meters in height. Its long and narrow shape and the  
Church in Freiburg high ceiling enable the elongated reverberation time and limited initial  
reflection time. Thus, the rich reverberation rather than the sound itself  
reproduces the atmosphere of the church.  
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).  
2ch Stereo  
This program features the sound field created by the refectory (dining hall)  
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.  
Church in  
Royaumont  
of a beautiful medieval Gothic monastery located in Royaumont on the

programs multicast on a single FM HD Radio channel. For further  
information on HD Radio Technology, visit  
Press MODE repeatedly to select a desired audio  
program.  
You can also enter an audio program number (1 to 8)  
directly by using the numeric keys. For example, to select  
program 3, press 3 and then ENT (or just leave it).

Frequently asked questions  
The new speaker system does not provide an ideal sound  
balance...  
If you have changed speakers or have a new speaker system, use “Auto Setup” to  
optimize the speaker settings again (p.50). If you want to adjust the speaker settings  
manually, use “Manual Setup” in the “Setup” menu (p.114).  
I want to turn off the on-screen messages displayed during  
operations...  
By default, short messages are displayed on the TV screen when the unit is operated  
(such as input selection and volume adjustment). If the short messages bother you  
when you are watching movies or sports, configure “Short Message” (p.128) in the  
“Setup” menu to turn off the short messages.  
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.118). You can also set the maximum volume for  
Zone2 or Zone3 (p.125).  
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.129).  
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  
Yamaha product or another remote control may work on the unit. If this happens,  
register different remote control IDs for the devices that you want to control with each  
remote control (p.133).  
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.119). You can also set the initial  
volume for Zone2 or Zone3 (p.125).  
I made HDMI connections but HDMI Control does not work at  
all...  
To use HDMI Control, you need to perform the HDMI Control link setup (p.158). 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.

Sampling frequency/Quantization bit  
HDMI and video information  
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  
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.  
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.  
Composite video signal  
With the composite video signal system, color, brightness, and synchronization data signals are combined  
and transmitted with a single cable.  
WAV  
Deep Color  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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/”.  
Others  
Bi-amplification connection (Bi-amp)  
A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker. When you use the bi-amplification  
connection, the unit drives the tweeter and woofer in a speaker with the discrete amplifiers. As a  
consequence, the tweeter and woofer provide clear audio signal without the interference.  
S-video signal  
With the S-video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the C  
signal for the chrominance through the S-video cable. This technology achieves more accurate color  
reproduction than the composite video signal system.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
CINEMA DSP 3D  
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 3D sound fields in a listening room.  
CINEMA DSP HD³  
The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA  
DSP HD³ 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.  
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.

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 playback  
devices (such as HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players) connected to the unit with  
an HDMI cable.  
Press SCENE (BD/DVD)  
To use HDMI Control, you need to perform the following HDMI Control link setup after  
connecting the TV and playback devices.  
For details on connections, see “Connecting a TV” (p.35) and “Connecting video  
devices (such as BD/DVD players)” (p.41).  
Operations available from the TV’s remote control  
• Standby synchronization  
• This setup is required every time you add a new HDMI Control-compatible device to your system.  
Turn on the unit, TV, and playback devices.
