With DTS:X, Sound Gets Real

In the real world, sound is all around us, moving freely in any direction. We are immersed in this natural, multi-dimensional sound experience as we go about our daily lives.

Simply put, DTS:X makes sound move around you like it would in real life - without requiring specific speakers or custom configurations. From the big screen to home theaters to the phone in your pocket, DTS:X makes sound real.

DTS:X is muiti-dimensional sound

DTS:X is the next generation audio codec from DTS that leverages object-based audio to enable new audio experiences in immersion and interactivity.

Yamaha AV Receivers Support for Various Speaker Layout for DTS:X Playback

If it is difficult to place ceiling speakers, you can place speakers in a more practical Front/Rear Height position. Any layout can work not only for DTS:X playback but also for CINEMA DSP processing.

YPAO: Ideal Acoustic Calibration Automatically

YPAO microphone and microphone base for optimum acoustic measurements

YPAO optimises the listening environment and fundamental high quality audio design, taking full advantage of the detailed spatial localisation capability of DTS:X. The RX-A3050 additionally features YPAO 3D to optimise the 3D sound field. YPAO analyses room acoustics and performs speaker angle measurements, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve the best sound at any of several listening positions. The height of the presence speakers is also measured, in order to create the best possible 3D sound field. YPAO 3D provides automatic sound parameter optimisation that maximises the 3D sound field effectiveness of CINEMA DSP HD3 as well as DTS:X. The combination of DTS:X and a Yamaha AV receiver will fill the room with multidimensional sound that makes you feel as if you are right in the middle of the story unfolding on the screen.
