Yamaha Digital Home Theater Components
& Audio Components Dedicated to the creation of fine sound for over a century.
Yamaha’s involvement with sound began with the production of our first reed organ in 1887. Shortly thereafter, we began making pianos and other instruments, and today we are the world’s largest producer of musical instruments. We also operate Digital Sound Field a worldwide music school, Processing in 1986, we design concert halls and opened a new era in home produce innovative electronic entertainment. All of our instruments. Our audio acoustic and audio expertise components have long been is now engineered into LSIs recognized as the standard that we design and bearers of fine quality, and manufacture ourselves, and with the development of these powerful chips are expanding and enhancing entertainment possibilities in the exciting new field of home theater. Recently, we’ve also introduced state-of-the- art video components, and now offer everything necessary for the finest in music and movie enjoyment at home. CONTENTS

Hear every movie how the Conventional 6.1-Channel Systems director wanted it to be heard. Only Yamaha Digital Home Theater provides an audio experience that not only reproduces theater sound, but is actually superior to the sound in many theaters. The reason is CINEMA DSP, the world’s most sophisticated home theater audio technology. Developed and refined over the past 15 years, it enables movies to be heard with the same degree of realism and impact that the directors and sound engineers intended. Not only is the surround sound field larger, deeper and richer, but it is not necessary to adjust speaker placement. CINEMA DSP brings out the full potential of all movie sound formats, including the newest ones, and even selects the correct format automatically. Extensive listening tests have confirmed that it is simply the best system for enjoying home theater sound.

15 The RX-Z1: The world’s preeminent home theater receiver
RX-Z1 Digital Home Theater Receiver Preeminent means “standing above others” and that’s exactly what this receiver does. From its extraordinary The DSP-AZ1* has received the HiVi Grand Prix 2001 (AV Center sound quality, to its wide array of surround programs and other advanced functions, to its unmatched Category) awarded by Japan’s prestigious “HiVi” magazine. CINEMA DSP technology, to its compatibility with every movie sound format, and even to its impressive design, * The DSP-AZ1 provides the same performance and features as the this is a receiver that has no equal. Once again, Yamaha asserts its leadership in home theater — with the RX-Z1. RX-Z1 except for tuner functions.

Yamaha subwoofers: Bass sound that will move you. The latest home theater systems not only use high-performance DVD players, but also exploit the merits of advanced sound processing formats. Full audio enjoyment of these digital sources requires deep, clear bass response. This is especially true with 5.1/6.1-channel sound, because the extra channel is dedicated to the bass frequencies. That means you not only need a subwoofer, but one capable of handling extremely low frequencies and high power levels, as well as accurately reproducing the digital sound.

This system adjusts pickup tracking and focus, as well as ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio CD/DVD Direct Amplification Circuit spindle motor speed, to compensate for any Reproduction Technology) Engaged by a front panel switch, it matches problems. When processing and transmission of the CD/DVD signal levels so each stage audio signal is simple and direct, there is less produces less noise, resulting in improved CD Text Display chance of it being affected by noise and S/N ratio and maintenance of the amp’s Get information about the CD currently distortion.
