Yamaha RX-SL100RDS User Manual

■

The name of the selected program appears on the front 
panel display.

y

Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, 
and not on the name of the program.

• If no operation is performed within 5 seconds of pressing DSP 

on the front panel, the function of VOLUME/SELECT switches 
back to volume.

• There are 9 programs with sub-programs available with this 

unit. However, the selection depends on the input signal format 
and not all sub-programs can be used with all input signal 
formats.

• The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound field 

program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to 
maximize the effect created by the program.

• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects 

the last sound field program used with that source.

• When you set this unit in standby mode, it stores the current 

source and sound field program in memory and automatically 
selects them when you turn on the power again.

• If the unit receives a Dolby Digital or DTS signal when the 

input mode is set to AUTO, the CINEMA DSP sound field 
programs automatically switches to the appropriate decoding 
program.

• When the unit is reproducing a monaural source with PRO 

LOGIC, PRO LOGIC Enhanced, PRO LOGIC II Movie or PRO 
LOGIC IIx Movie, no sound is output from the front and 
surround speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center 
speaker. (If “Center” on the SOUND menu is set to None, the 
center channel sound is output from the front speakers.)

■

This mode reproduces dialogue clearly while reducing the 
volume of loud sound effects for easier listening at low 
volumes or at night.

The NIGHT indicator in the front panel 
display lights up.
Press NIGHT again to cancel. The 
NIGHT indicator goes off.

y

• You can use the night listening mode with any sound field 

program.

• Night listening mode may vary in effectiveness depending on 

the input source and surround sound settings you use.

■

Press DSP on the front panel (or press STEREO/EFFECT 
on the remote) to select STEREO.
Press again so that “STEREO” disappears from the 
display when you want to turn the sound effect back on.

• If you turn off the sound effects, no sound is output from the 

center speaker, surround speakers, or surround back speaker.

• If you turn off the sound effects while the unit is reproducing 

sound from a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the dynamic range 
of the signal is automatically compressed and the unit 
downmixes the sound of the center and surround speaker 
channels to output them from the front speakers.

• The volume may be greatly reduced when you turn off the 

sound effects or if you set Dynamic Range to “MIN” (see 
page 42). In this case, turn on the sound effect.
