Sampling frequency/Quantization bit
HDMI and video information
Sampling frequency and quantization bits indicate the quantity of information when an analog audio signal
is digitized. These values are noted as in the following example: “48 kHz/24-bit”.
Component video signal
• Sampling frequency
Sampling frequency (the number of times the signal is sampled per second) is called the sampling rate. With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for luminance and
When the sampling frequency is higher, the range of frequencies that can be played back are wider. the Pb and Pr signals for chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because
each of these signals is independent.
• Quantization bit
The number of quantization bits indicate the degree of accuracy when converting the sound level into a Composite video signal
numeric value. When the number of quantized bits is higher, the expression of the sound level is more

Deep Color is a technology that HDMI specification supports. Deep Color increases the number of available
converting audio signals. By default, the PCM method (no compression) is used, but you can also use other

process the color using 8 bits. Deep Color processes the color with 10, 12, or 16 bits. This technology
WMA (Windows Media Audio) allows HDTVs and other displays to increase from millions of colors to billions of colors and eliminate
on-screen color banding for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors.
One of the compressed digital audio formats developed by Microsoft Corporation. With psychoacoustic
technologies, this compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of HDMI
compressing data quantity by about 1/20 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the world-wide standard interface for digital audio/video
signal transmission. This interface transmits both digital audio and digital video signals using a single cable
■ Others without any loss. HDMI complies with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and provides a
secure audio/video interface. For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at
Bi-amplification connection (Bi-amp) “http://www.hdmi.org/”.
A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker. When you use the bi-amplification x.v.Color
connection, the unit drives the tweeter and woofer in a speaker with the discrete amplifiers. As a “x.v.Color” is a technology that the HDMI specification supports. It is a more extensive color space than
consequence, the tweeter and woofer provide clear audio signal without the interference. sRGB and allows the expression of colors that were not hitherto possible. While remaining compatible with
LFE (Low Frequency Effects) 0.1 channel the color gamut of sRGB standards, “x.v.Color” expands the color space, and thus can produce more vivid,
natural images.
This channel reproduces low-frequency bass signals and has a frequency range from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This
channel is added to the channels for all bands with Dolby Digital or DTS to enhance low frequency audio
effects. This channel is labeled 0.1 because it is limited to only low frequency audio.
Lip sync
Video output sometimes lags behind audio output due to the complexity of signal processing caused by an
increase in video signal capacity. Lip sync is a technique for automatically correcting the timing lag
between audio and video output.

Yamaha technologies
CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor)
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is
best experienced in a theater that has many speakers designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions
(such as room size, wall material, and number of speakers) can differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are
differences in the sound that you hear. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, CINEMA DSP,
Yamaha’s original DSP technology provides the audiovisual experience of a movie theater in your own
home.
CINEMA DSP 3D
The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA
DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of the sound images so that it creates the
accurate and intensive 3D sound fields in a listening room.
Compressed Music Enhancer

The Compressed Music Enhancer feature compensates for missing harmonics in compression music
formats (such as MP3). As a result, this technology provides improved performance for the overall sound
system.
SILENT CINEMA
Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for
headphones have been set for each sound program, so that accurate representations of all the sound
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.
Virtual CINEMA DSP

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows the system to virtually reproduce the sound field of the surround speakers with
front left and right speakers. Even if the surround speakers are not connected, the unit creates the realistic
sound field in a listening room.
