Before using Dialogue Lift
Ideal dialogue position
Dialogue Lift
Clear dialogue is important for movie enjoyment,
however, when using front and center speakers
positioned below the screen, dialogue may not be
heard with maximum clarity. The Dialogue Lift
function causes part of the front and center
channel sound to be output from the presence
speakers, so you hear the dialogue more clearly.
Assignable Amplifiers for Bi-Amp Connection
Bi-amping assigns the amps used for the surround
back channels to work in conjunction with the
front speaker amps to provide separate high and
low frequency outputs to the front speakers. This
provides more power to the front speakers for
multi-channel or HiFi sound. Both high frequency
and low frequency sound quality is improved.
Adaptive DRC
Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control) is a new
volume control technology that is effective for
low-volume listening, such as at night or with
headphones. It applies DRC processing to eliminate
the volume differences between loud commercials
and ordinary programming and to take into account
our ears’ loss of sensitivity as volume decreases.
The compensation is performed automatically, so all
dialogue is heard clearly even at low levels, and
there are no sudden loud bursts of sound.
Adaptive DSP Level
When volume is low, CINEMA DSP effects may be
difficult to hear. Adaptive DSP Level overcomes this
problem by evaluating the difference between the
volume level and a reference level, and adjusting
the DSP level to ensure optimum effectiveness, that
is, the best possible sound.
System Memory:

System Memory
You can use the System Memory function to easily
save and recall various combinations of system
settings. For example, if you have a particular “sound”
that you prefer with action movies, just save those
settings and then press that memory button whenever
you watch an action movie. The RX-Z11BL provides
ten System Memories for the main zone (audio,
speaker configuration, video, volume, input/HDMI out
and option. It also has four System for zones 2, 3 and
4 (input, volume and tone control). The RX-V3800BL
and RX-V1800BL also let you save up to six different
system settings. System Memory is an easy way to
ensure that you enjoy the best possible sound with
different sources and room conditions. It is especially
useful with high-end models that have a wide range
of customizable parameters.
SCENE Offers Greater Operating Ease
With most receivers, watching or listening to what
you want requires a number of steps. You have to
turn on the receiver, turn on another component like
a DVD player, select the source, select the surround
mode and then press play. But with Yamaha’s SCENE
feature all you need to do is press one button. Both
components turn on, the correct DSP setting is made,
and play begins.
The RX-V861BL,
RX-V661BL, RX-V461BL
and RX-V361BL have four
pre-programed SCENE
buttons that initiate a
series of actions. Their
default settings are DVD
Viewing, Disc Listening,
TV Viewing and Radio
Listening. However, if you

you can customize the SCENE buttons by selecting

game playing. The chart shows which templates are
