Yamaha DSP-A970 - Manual (Page 36)

7. TV THEATER 1
Game/Amusement: The sound field of a disco is used for the
front presence side, and the sound field of
a concert hall in Vienna is used for the rear
surround side.
This program reproduces video game
music etc. more vividly emphasizing the
fast tempo and lightness of the music. If
the music is in stereo, more effective
sound field will be gained by this program.
This program is also suitable for karaoke
popular music.
Karaoke: Vocals are reproduced with gentle
reverberations on the stage surrounded by
seats in a round hall. A feeling of echo
from the high ceiling and reverberations in
front and behind the hall brings a lot of
presence on both the stage and the seats.
By using a source with digital sound, the
sound of the greatly instrumental
accompaniment is much expanded, so
emphasizing the spatial effect with vocals.
You feel as if you are standing on a live-
stage.
8. TV THEATER 2
Drama: The data of the sound field of a relatively
narrow space is used for the front presence
side. A moderately sized spatial sound field
without excessive sound extension and
reverberations gives reality to the characters
in a drama.
The data of the sound field of an opera
house is used for the rear surround side. In
a stereo program, background music is
reproduced more beautifully with much
depth, enhancing sound effects on the
drama. It’s natural sound effect will not make
you tired from long watching.
Variety/Sports: Though the front presence side of the sound
field is relatively narrow, the rear surround
side employs the sound environment of a
large concert hall. With this program, you
can enjoy watching various TV programs
such as the news, variety shows, music
programs or sports programs. In a stereo
broadcast of a sports game, the
commentator is oriented at the center
position, and the shouts and the atmosphere
in the stadium spreads on the surround side,
however, spreading of them to the rear side
is properly restrained.
