SURROUND:AI™
AI technology built into the DSP analyzes the scene of entertainment content and then creates the optimal surround effect to reproduce it with the ultimate impact. This AI analyzes scenes instantly by focusing on specific sound elements such as dialogue, background music, ambient noise and sound effects and automatically optimizes the surround effect in real time. Imagine a Yamaha sound engineer tuning the best sound live and specifically for you while you listen to music. AI technology creates a convincingly realistic impression with expressive performance that goes beyond conventional sound field effects, giving you the most immersive entertainment experience possible. Qualcomm® QCS407 with high-precision 64-bit processing delivers precise surround sound.
CINEMA DSP HD3 for movies, music and gaming
Yamaha's highest quality 3D sound field reproduction technology was developed by combining actually measured sound field data with the latest digital signal processing technology. The revised CINEMA DSP HD3 features new signal processing algorithms and maximizes movie theater sound effects, creating a new dimension of realism. This creates a sound field with an intense sense of presence and without the impression of boundaries. By using front, center and surround speakers to create a virtual rear speaker, CINEMA DSP HD3 playback of up to 11.1 channels is possible even with a 7.1-channel speaker configuration*.
* Requires connection of a front presence speaker.
Dolby Atmos® with Height Virtualization
For those who don't have ceiling speakers or upward-firing speakers, there's Dolby Atmos with Height Virtualization. This system simulates the Atmos sound experience with front-firing speakers. You can configure up to five speakers to have the same effect as two ceiling speakers, or use all seven channels for an effective simulation of four overhead speakers.
Feel Dolby Atmos in every dimension. Combine a 5.1 surround system with two additional overhead speakers or two Dolby Atmos height speakers to create dramatic overhead effects with a truly room-filling sound image - all with the Dolby Surround upmixer for legacy content.
DTS:X®
DTS:X immersive audio formatting maps sound where it would naturally occur in the room, creating a lifelike, multi-dimensional sound experience. With the integrated DTS Neural:X™ spatial remapping engine, you can immerse yourself in your favorite films and enjoy an even more realistic movie experience.
Wireless Rear Speaker Compatible
Combine this AV receiver with the MusicCast 50 or MusicCast 20 wireless streaming speakers to easily create a home theater with wireless surround sound. Experience immersive, realistic sound with intuitive, hassle-free setup. Transform your living room into an entertainment room where you can enjoy movies and music to the fullest.
