Yamaha HTR-5940 User Guide

■ CINEMA DSP
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were 
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect 
is best felt in a theater having many speakers designed for 
acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room 
size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can 
differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in 
the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured 
data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original 
sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic, 
Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the audiovisual 
experience of movie theater in the listening room of your 
own home.

■ SILENT CINEMA
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect 
DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for 
headphones have been set for each sound field so that 
accurate representations of all the sound field programs 
can be enjoyed on headphones.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP
YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP 
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field 
surround effects even without any surround speakers by 
using virtual surround speakers. It is even possible to 
enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal two-speaker 
system that does not include a center speaker.
