Product description from manufacturer
The Yamaha's RX-V620 is a 5-channel receiver providing finest performance and processing available for music and video sound. The receiver delivers Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel formats. Yamaha's Digital Sound Field Processing, Cinema DSP, and Tri-Field Processing are all included as is Dolby Surround Pro Logic Processing. In addition, the RX-V620 provides Silent Cinema and all-channel stereo. Yamaha has designed and employed single function IC chips (ASICS). ASICs are more efficient than multi-function chips and provide the most accurate decoding possible. The RX-V620 incorporates high-density Cinema DSP circuitry. Yamaha's exclusive Digital Sound Field Processing for music recreates the acoustic personalities of actual concert halls and other venues, such as the Roxy Theater in L.A., Village Gate in N.Y., Anaheim Stadium and concert halls and churches in Europe. Other soundfields include N.Y.'s Bottom Line and Entertainment modes. 35mm and 70mm Cinema DSP multiplies the effects of Dolby Pro Logic and Yamaha DSP to provide the best possible Pro Logic movie theater recreation in your home. Discrete surround is the most advanced and realistic encoded surround sound for movies. The new Dolby Digital system is a fully discrete system providing 5.1 channels of sound. There are five full-frequency channels, and the sixth is a low-frequency effects channel. Yamaha's exclusive Tri-Field Processing applies Digital Sound Field Processing technology to Dolby Digital and DTS to create a true movie theater experience in the home. It develops independent enhanced sound fields for the front signals as well as for left and right surround. Building on technology incorporated into its world famous "silent" musical instruments, Yamaha has added HRTF and "Virtual" technology to create a realistic surround movie effect using standard, two-channel headphones.
