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.
