fields is Spectacle, which recreates the
open feeling of large-scale, epic motion
pictures. The Sci-Fi is designed to
reproduce all the complex, dynamic
sounds of space/science fiction movies.
Adventure and General are also included.
Center Graphic Equalizer
In addition to the many audio parameters
that can be adjusted, the RX-V640
provides an even greater degree of sound
field control with the inclusion of a Center
Graphic Equalizer. This lets you finely
“tune” the overall balance of the sound
field to achieve the optimal imaging for

CINEMA DSP
Tri-Field CINEMA DSP projects three
sound fields into the home theater: a
Presence sound field in the front and
two Surround sound fields in the left
rear and right rear, resulting in a
powerfully realistic three-dimensional
soundscape. And now Yamaha also
offers Quad-Field CINEMA DSP. It adds
an additional rear center sound field to
the Tri-Field system, in order to enjoy
the new 6.1-channel formats, Dolby
Digital EX and DTS-ES.
CINEMA DSP Programs
One of the main advantages of CINEMA
DSP is the large choice of sound field
programs available. The basic program

Going Beyond Conventional Multi-
Channel Systems
Conventional 5.1-channel/6.1-channel
audio reproduction systems base their
sound on Dolby Digital and DTS

technologies to create surround sound
effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much
more advanced, actually creating richly
realized independent sound fields that
merge to envelop you in an unmatched
surround sound experience. With
dialogue, music and effects from the
presence (front), rear and rear sound
fields, you will hear sound with highly
accurate localization, smooth
movement, exceptional clarity and
richness, and startlingly realistic
presence. It will seem as if the walls of
your room have disappeared and you
are in the middle of your own immense
theater!
