DSP-Z11 11.2-Channel Digital Home Theatre Amplifier
three-speaker installation environments, and a
Preamplifier Mode that permits the entire 11-
channel amplifier to be allotted for three-zone
use (main zone powered by an external amp).
Surround Realism
CINEMA DSP HD
3
The DSP-Z11 introduces Yamaha’s latest digital
sound field processing refinement: CINEMA DSP
HD
3
. As amazing as the systems on the DSP-Z9
and RX-V3800 were, this system marks a further
evolution of CINEMA DSP. It utilises four Quad
CINEMA DSP engines and permits lossless
decoding of 192kHz signals, while providing 3D
processing that gives the sound field an extra
vertical dimension. In its full 11-channel
configuration setting it adds two presence and
two rear presence speakers, offering the
enjoyment of a completely new sound stage.
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.
THX Ultra2 Plus Surround Mode
THX Ultra2 Plus includes the newest
THX Loudness Plus technology. It lets
you enjoy five THX programmes in the
optimum condition, delivering a more accurate
listening experience at any volume level.
Improved Compressed Music Enhancer
This popular feature restores the sound of the
original music from digitally compressed formats
such as MP3. The DSP-Z11
offers an improved version that
processes multi-channel signals
with a DSP algorithm, so all channels (rather
than just two) are enhanced, for more accurate
reproduction and a more expansive sound.
Main Remote Unit
The remote unit has
shock-sensor
illuminated keys for
easy operation in dim
lighting — just pick it
up and the keys light
up. It features an
improved key layout
and an LCD window:
the layout setup
buttons (zone selector,
macro mode, remote
ID, remote setup and input select) are grouped
around the LCD window. It also provides easy
access to the System Memory.
On-Screen Display with GUI
An on-screen GUI (Graphical User Interface)
display makes operating the amplifier easy and
intuitive. It is compatible with
iPod, internet radio, PC and
USB displays. Six display
languages can be selected:
English, Spanish, French,
German, Russian and
Japanese.
Versatile Zone Control
Super-Versatile Zone Control
The DSP-Z11 has extensive zone control
capabilities, which are too numerous to explain
here. The most important point is that the 11.2
channels can be assigned in a wide variety of
configurations to Main/Zone 2/Zone 3/Zone 4 The
presence, rear presence and EXTD (by surround
back amp) speaker terminals can be assigned to
each zone. It provides Intelligent Power Amplifier
Assignability (surround back amp assignment)
and Independent Zone Amplifier Assignment with
7.2-channel main zone playback.
Also important is that Zone 2 can accept
bitstream signals and also offers component
video output and upconversion of composite and
S-Video signals.
Some other convenient zone functions
include: a Party Mode that permits audio BGM
and video BGV play of the same input source in
the main room and other three zones with one-
button operation, a Zone OSD function that lets
you browse information about the songs or
PC/vTuner contents that are playing, Zone Mono
that provides compatibility with one-speaker or
Direct-access (macro-
command, learning and
preset capable) remote
unit with shock sensor
