Yamaha RX-SL80 Manual Do Proprietário

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multichannel playback from 
almost any sound source (stereo or multichannel). 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.

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to 
AUTO (see page 33) 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.

STEREO
2ch Stereo

Downmixes multi-channel sources to 2 channels (left and right) or plays 
back 2-channel sources as is.

the feeling you are at an actual jazz or rock concert.

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 presernce 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 multichannel 
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
