Yamaha releases DTS:X Firmware for select Yamaha AV Receivers and an AV Processor

Today, Yamaha has announced that a DTS:X™ firmware update is now available for several of the company’s notable AV Receiver models to enable the latest three-dimensional listening experience at home.

The Yamaha CX-A5100 AV Pre-amp Processor, as well as the company’s AVENTAGE RX-A3050, RX-A2050 and RX-A1050 AV Receivers all currently support Dolby Atmos® and are now more versatile with the addition of DTS:X for home theatre use.

DTS:X and Dolby Atmos are both object-based surround formats that place and move sounds freely in a three-dimensional axis, including overhead, as movie mixing engineers intended. These new sound technologies are designed to engage the audience by creating realism through a lifelike multi-dimensional audio experience.

With the CX-A5100, Yamaha enables CINEMA DSP (a proprietary sound field processor) to be applied to both DTS:X and Dolby Atmos during playback. By applying CINEMA DSP, the user will be immersed even further and feel as if they are right in the middle of the scene.

About DTS:X

DTS:X is the next generation object-based, multi-dimensional audio technology from DTS. Unbound from channels, DTS:X conveys the fluid movement of sound to create an incredibly rich, realistic and immersive soundscape – in front of, behind, beside and above the audience – more accurately than ever before. DTS:X offers the ability to automatically adapt the audio to the speaker layout that best fits the space, from a television’s built-in speakers to a home surround theatre system to a dozen or more speakers in a commercial cinema.
