DSP Parameter Adjustment for Simple and Effective Tuning

This AV amplifier is equipped with several sound programs based on Yamaha’s DSP technology. Thanks to these, it is easy to create a sound field corresponding to real movie theaters or concert halls right in your home, and enjoy natural and effective surround sound. You can now use the AV Controller app to adjust the DSP parameters according to your preferences, to exactly match the movie or concert being watched. Two modes are offered, Basic or Advanced, allowing you to select different types of adjustments.

Virtual CINEMA FRONT: superb virtual 5.1 High Resolution sound

For installations with space constraints, Yamaha’s Virtual CINEMA FRONT technology allows you to enjoy a stunning virtual Surround field using only front speakers in the listening area. This exclusive Yamaha technology relies on the use of two Surround speakers and a center speaker placed in the front for a high-resolution 5-channel Surround field, with incredible virtual reproduction of the rear channels.

Extra Bass: dense and rich bass, even with small speakers

Yamaha’s exclusive bass enhancement technology delivers incredibly rich bass while maintaining excellent sound imaging and balance, especially when used with small speakers. When used with a subwoofer, Extra Bass enhances the volume of the entire low frequency range of the system, not just the front speakers. You will enjoy exceptionally powerful and present sound.
