Yamaha HTR-5835 User Guide

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 30) 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 

the actual hall, 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.

Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to 
select sound field programs, see “Selecting sound field programs” on pages 26 to 30.

music programs or sports programs.

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).

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.
