Introduction Using Yamaha’s unique DSP technology, the RP-U100 can bring excitement and realism to any audio source by simulating the acoustic environments of concert halls, movie theaters, and so on with only two speakers. With its stylish, vertical design, the RP-U100 allows you to use various audio sources, including your PC, CD player, MD or tape recorder, and the built-in AM/FM tuner, as shown below. FM antenna AM antenna RP-U100 PC AUX1 AUX2 TUNER CD player DSP P-SET PERSONAL RECEIVER RP-U100 MD/tape recorder Personal computer Speakers Although the RP-U100 can be used as part of a typical hi-fi system, connecting it to your PC via the USB port, and running the supplied RP-U100 Application Software, allows you to remotely control the RP-U100 from your PC and edit the sound field programs. 1 Virtual 3D Surround sound typically requires C R L C R several speakers situated in front of L and behind the listening position, which requires a substantial amount Virtual of space that may not always be speakers available. The RP-U100 uses Yamaha’s unique “Virtual 3D” techRL RR RL RR nology to simulate a typical Typical surround system Virtual 3D surround sound system using only two speakers. Virtual 3D, which is used by the RP-U100’s sound field programs, simulates the surround effect provided by rear and center speakers, creating “virtual” surround speakers, as shown, so even with only two front speakers, you can still enjoy surround sound. Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP) When you listen to a performance in a concert hall, jazz club, or other live music venue, you not only hear the direct sound coming from the musical instruments and singers, but also the “early reflections” and natural reverberation. Early reflections are the initial sound waves that bounce off the floor, ceiling, and walls. Natural reverberation is made up of sound waves that gradually attenuate as they bounce repeatedly off multiple surfaces. Early sound reflections Reverberation Direct sound Early sound reflections Since the way you hear early reflections and reverberation depends on the shape and size of the building as well as the material and construction of the walls and ceiling, each venue has its own unique “sound,” called its “sound field.” At Yamaha, we have measured all the elements that make up a typical sound field—direction and level of the reflections, bandwidth characteristics, and delay times—at famous concert halls and opera houses around the world. The information gained in this process has been converted into programs that can be reproduced using Yamaha’s DSP technology. Using its on-board DSP, the RP-U100 can process any audio source and recreate the atmosphere of the original venue. 2 Controls and Functions Front Panel PC AUX1 1 AUX2 TUNER 2 4 3 DSP P-SET PERSONAL RECEIVER RP-U100 5 6 7 8 A Input selectors & indicators These four keys, explained below, are used to select the input source.

If interference is a problem with the RP-U100, and you cannot obtain good reception, or the auto tuning functions don’t work properly, try the following. • Move the indoor FM or AM loop antenna as far away from the computer and monitor as physically possible and find the position and direction at which reception is the best. • FM outdoor antennas offer the best performance and should be used when the good reception is not available. Be sure to use coaxial cable to connect to an outdoor antenna. Use the supplied F-type adapter to connect an outdoor FM antenna with an F-type connector. • If you cannot obtain good AM reception using only the AM loop antenna, connect 5 to 10 meters (16 to 32 ft.) of ordinary PVC coated wire to the AM connector on the RP-U100, feed it through a window, or other outlet, and extend it horizontally. Be sure to also connect the AM loop antenna. Using another piece of wire, connect the GND connector on the RP-U100 to a good ground point, such as a grounding rod. Never connect the RP-U100 to a metal gas or oil pipe, which would cause a safety hazard, or a plastic water pipe.

In locations such as a concert hall, we of course hear the direct sound coming for example from an instrument. But our ears also pick up the so-called early reflections, which is the sound being reflected from boundaries such as walls, floors and the ceiling. Finally, we hear reverberation, namely the sound being repeatedly bounced back and forth and gradually decaying. The early reflections and reverberation characteristics depend on factors such as the size and shape of the interior space and the type of furnishing. The resulting acoustics are unique to a particular hall or room. This is what is called a "sound field." DSP sound field program Yamaha has collected a vast amount of sound field data at famous concert halls, opera houses, and other venues around the world. These data express the direction of reflections, their intensity, frequency characteristics, delay time, and many other factors. The RP-U100 incorporates sound field programs based on such sound field data. The programs let you select the sound field of a famous concert hall or theater to be recreated on your personal computer equipment setup. DSP sound field program icon There are icons which represent certain DSP sound field effects. A sound field program can be selected by clicking the icon in the DSP sound field selector panel. The icon of the currently selected sound field program is shown on the DSP button in the main panel. DSP sound field program icon details Opening Page 18/68 ページ DSP parameters The default parameter values of the sound field programs are usually fine for enjoying great sound, but it is also possible to fine-tune some of the parameters to suit individual preferences or program sources. The result will be a listening experience that is truly original and thrilling. Parameters are edited on the DSP Parameter Setting Panel. DSP Sound Field Program Parameter guide DSP Parameter Setting Panel details Virtual 3D Usually four to six speakers are needed to reproduce multichannel sources with Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic.

Opening Page 35/68 ページ DSP Sound Field Program DSP Sound Field Programs The unique acoustic characteristics of a given space. In locations such as a concert hall, we of course hear the direct sound coming for example from an instrument. But our ears also pick up the so-called early reflections, which is the sound being reflected from boundaries such as walls, floors and the ceiling. Finally, we hear reverberation, namely the sound being repeatedly bounced back and forth and gradually decaying. The early reflections and reverberation characteristics depend on factors such as the size and shape of the interior space and the type of furnishing. The resulting acoustics are unique to a particular hall or room. This is what is called a "sound field." Yamaha has collected a vast amount of sound field data at famous concert halls, opera houses, and other venues around the world. These data include the direction of reflections, their intensity, frequency characteristics, delay time, and many other factors. The RP-U100 incorporates sound field programs based on such sound field data. The programs let you select the sound field of a famous concert hall or theater to be recreated on your personal computer equipment setup. DSP sound field programs for music The DSP programs for music create a sound field giving the realistic impression of being in a specific location. The original signal is passed unchanged to the output, while sound field information is added by means of DSP processing. Also with multichannel source material encoded in Dolby Digital, the decoded signal is reproduced unchanged with only the ambience components added. This allows you to enjoy the sound of a world-famous concert hall, church, or other type of location. DSP sound field programs for Audio Visual These DSP programs were specially developed for game or movie sound reproduction. The action of surround decoders for Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital is fused with the Yamaha DSP, resulting in quality sound such as would be heard in the final mix of a completed movie. The RP-U100 lets you reproduce this sound in your own personal space.

Introduction to Sound Field Programs HALL This is the sound field of a 'shoebox' type medium-sized hall in Vienna seating about 1700 people. This sound field has beautiful, rich acoustics that faithfully reproduce the complicated reverberations from the surrounding pillars and carvings in the hall. JAZZ This program recreates the acoustics of a small venue for live on-stage productions in New York. The sound field is for an area somewhat left of center facing the stage. This is the sound field of a beautiful gothic type monastery in a Paris suburb. The reverberations blend in the numerous domed ceiling spaces formed by CHURCH stone pillars, producing beautiful sustained notes. GAME MOVIE LIVE VDD This program adds a feeling of depth and ambience to game sounds. Allows enjoying the pressure and excitement of a game as if actually there. This sound field recreates the sensation of an expansive space that makes you feel like you are in the midst of a movie. This sound field reproduces the high-energized sensation of live rock and jazz music. This program (Virtual Dolby Digital) approximates the surround sound effect of Dolby Digital using only two front-channel speakers. Ideal for faithful reproduction of DVD software encoded in the Dolby Digital format.

Opening Page 44/68 ページ Sound Field Program Parameter Guide Effect Trim Can be set for HALL JAZZ CHURCH GAME MOVIE LIVE Function: Variable range: Description: Effect Trim Setting Screen ?Makes fine adjustments to the effect level (sound effect). -3 dB to +3 dB This is a parameter for making fine adjustments to the overall effect sound level. Rear Effect Trim Can be set for HALL JAZZ CHURCH GAME MOVIE LIVE VDD (HP3D) Function: Variable range: Description: Rear Effect Trim Setting Screen Makes fine adjustments to the rear effect level (sound effect). -3 dB to +3 dB This is a parameter for making fine adjustments to the overall rear effect sound level including the Virtual 3D sound effect. Initial Delay Can be set for HALL JAZZ CHURCH GAME MOVIE LIVE Opening Page Function: Variable range: Description: 45/68 ページ Initial Delay Setting Screen Adjusts the sensation of distance between walls and sound source. 1 ms to 99 ms This is a parameter for controlling the delay between the direct sound and the start of the early reflection. The delay in the early refrection is determined by the distance between the walls and sound source. In other words, shortening the delay time gives the impression that the sound source is near the walls. Conversely, lengthening the delay time gives the impression that the sound source is far from the walls. Adjusting the Initial Delay allows controlling factors such as the sense of distance from the source of the sound to the surrounding walls, the sensation of spatial size, and the nature of the tone (or sound image). Room Size Can be set for HALL JAZZ GAME MOVIE LIVE Function: Variable range: Description: Room Size Setting Screen Adjusts the sense of expansiveness. 0.1 to 2.0 This parameter controls the sense of spatial expansiveness. The larger the value, the wider the perceived space. When there is a larger distance between the walls of a room, the number of reflections increases and the time interval between reflections becomes longer. Therefore, controlling the time between adjacent reflections makes it possible to change the impression of spaciousness. A parameter setting of 1.0 means that the original measured values are used. At a setting of 2.0, the simulated length of one room boundary is doubled. Liveness Can be set for HALL JAZZ Function: Variable range: Description: Liveness Setting Screen Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls. 0 to 10 This parameter determines the attenuation of the early reflections. The larger this value, the greater the sound field echo. The smaller this value, the weaker the echo, giving a "dead" impression. This live or dead sensation for an actual hall is determined by the absorption characteristics of the reflecting surfaces. Faster attenuation of reverberations results in a more "dead" character and slow attenuation in a more "live" character. Opening Page 46/68 ページ more "dead" character and slow attenuation in a more "live" character. S.

With Dolby Digital source The parameter controls the delay time between the direct sound and the surround sound source. The greater this value, the greater the delay occurring in the surround sound field. With Dolby Pro Logic The parameter controls the delay time between the direct sound and the surround sound field. The greater this value, the greater the delay occurring in the surround sound field. There is no surround sound source. S.Initial Delay (Surround Initial Delay) With D o l b y D i g i t a l source Function: Variable range: Description: Can be set for GAME MOVIE LIVE Adjusts the initial delay time of the surround sound field. 1 ms to 49 ms The parameter is enabled when a Dolby Digital source signal is input. This parameter controls the initial delay time between the direct sound and the surround sound source. The greater this value, the greater the delay occurring in the surround sound field. Opening Page 47/68 ページ S.Room Size (Surround Room Size) Can be set for GAME MOVIE LIVE Function: Variable range: Description: S. Room Size Setting Screen Adjusts the room size of the surround sound field. 0.1 to 2.0 This parameter controls the sensation of expansiveness of the surround sound field. The greater this value, the wider the impression of surround sound field space. Reverb Time Can be set for CHURCH GAME LIVE Function: Variable range: Description: Reverb Time Setting Screen Adjusts the duration of the reverberation. ?1.0 sec to 5.0 sec This parameter controls the time span in which the reverberation attenuates. This is based on the time required for the reverberation sound to attenuate at a frequency of approximately 1 kHz. The smaller this figure, the faster the attenuation of the reverberation sound. Adjusting this parameter lets you make a dead-sounding source or listening room appear more lively. Conversely, you may want reduce an excessively bright feeling to achieve natural sounding reverberation. Reverb Level Can be set for CHURCH GAME LIVE Function: Variable range: Description: Reverb Level Setting Screen Adjusts the intensity of the reverberation. 0 % to 100 % This is a parameter for controlling the level of the reverberation sound. The larger this value, the more pronounced will be the reverberation, giving a lingering quality to the sound. Smaller values will reduce reverberation and reduce trailing notes. Opening Page 48/68 ページ Reverb Delay Can be set for CHURCH GAME LIVE Function Variable range Description Reverb Time Setting Screen Adjusts the delay time of the reverberation. 0 ms to 250 ms This parameter controls the time lag until reverberation is produced. The greater this value, the more the delay occurring in the reverberation after the early reflection. Even with the same Reverb Time setting, choosing a higher Delay Time value will result in a larger perceived space with more intense reverberation.
