Yamaha htr-5890 User Manual

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from 
almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field 
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience. 
Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous 
concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.

y

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to 
AUTO (see page 40) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

• This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in 

actual halls, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.

• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI” 
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel 
(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

STEREO

are at an actual jazz or rock concert.

ENTERTAINMENT

:

Game

This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.

TV THEATER

:

Mono Movie

This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The 
program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth using only the presence 
sound field.

TV THEATER

:

Variety/Sports

Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field employs the 
sound environment of a large concert hall. This effect enhances the experience of watching 
various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs.

MOVIE THEATER

: 

Spectacle

CINEMA DSP processing. This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm 
movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the 
sound field incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby 
Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).

MOVIE THEATER

: 

Sci-Fi

CINEMA DSP processing. This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the 
latest sound form for science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space 
amid silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes 
Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced 
techniques.

MOVIE THEATER

: 

Adventure

CINEMA DSP processing. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of 
the newest 70-mm and multi-channel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar 
to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are 
restrained as much as possible.

MOVIE THEATER

: 

General

CINEMA DSP processing. This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multi-
channel soundtrack films, and is characterized by soft and extensive sound field. The presence 
sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, 
restraining the echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.

THX

:

THX Cinema

THX processing for any multi-channel source. 2-channel sources are decoded by the PRO 
LOGIC, PRO LOGIC II, PRO LOGIC IIx or DTS Neo: 6 decoder before THX processing.
