Conventional 5.1 and 6.1 channel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering 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) and rear sound fields (plus rear center with 6.1-channel Quad-Field CINEMA DSP), it will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater.
