User manual YAMAHA DSP-100

[. . . ] Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water. If something drops into the unit, contact your dealer. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires. [. . . ] In addition, if you continue to play a source encoded with DTS with the input mode setting left to AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the "DTS-decoding" mode to prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation. (The "t" indicator lights up on the display. ) The "t" indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with DTS has finished. Only a source encoded with DTS can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO. s Notes on playing an LD source · Some audio/video component, such as LD player, output different audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. · If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog. · If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog terminals and set the input mode to AUTO or ANALOG. · While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital, if you switch from the pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital sound is played. INTRODUCTION s Notes on the digital signal The digital input terminal of this unit can also handle 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals. (To utilize this, use a source that supports 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals and set the player for digital output. Refer to the instructions for the player. ) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signal is input to this unit. The following indicator will appear on the display. DVD/LD D­TV VCR TUNER CD CBL/SAT PREPARATION BASIC OPERATION ADVANCED OPERATION APPENDIX English 2. · A source connected to the 6CH INPUT terminals of this unit cannot be recorded. · Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws. PREPARATION If you play back a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.

This processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theaterlike experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to). When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) is turned on according to which type of signals the source being played contains. The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital re-creations of actual acoustic environments. · The input source given in the following table for programs 4 through 8 indicates that input source which each program is best suited for. · Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below. s For movie or audio/video sources (Program No. [. . . ] to MAIN PRE OUT (250 mV, Input Shorted) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 103 dB · Residual Noise (IHF-A Network) CENTER, REAR SP OUT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 150 µV · Input Sensitivity/Impedance CD etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
