NPREPARATION

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker PlacementRefer to the following diagram when you place thespeakers.

Main speakersPlace the right and left main speakers an equal distancefrom the ideal listening position. The distance of eachspeaker from each side of the TV monitor should be thesame.

Rear speakersPlace these speakers behind your listening position, facingslightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above thefloor.

Center speakerAlign the front face of the center speaker with the front faceof your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to themonitor as possible, such as directly over or under themonitor and centrally between the main speakers.

Note• If the center speaker is not used, the center channel sound will be

heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case,“CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position.(Refer to page 26 for details.)

SubwooferThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because lowbass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better toplace the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightlytoward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

CAUTION

Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. Ifthis problem occurs, move the speakers away from themonitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speakeror subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magneticallyshielded speakers.

Speakers to Be UsedThis unit is designed to provide the best sound-field qualitywith a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakersand a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of amoving human voice and other types of sound may not shiftsmoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from thesame manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plusthe effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers fromyour present stereo system. The rear speakers are used forthe effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is forthe center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason itis not practical to use a center speaker, you can do withoutit. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

The main speakers should be high-performance models andhave enough power-handling capacity to accept themaximum output of your audio system. The other speakersdo not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precisesound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-performance models that can reproduce sounds over the fullrange for the center speaker and the rear speakers.

Use of a subwoofer expands yoursound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with theaddition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effectivenot only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or allchannels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequencyeffect) channel with high fidelity when playing back asource encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHAActive Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal fornatural and lively bass reproduction.

CONNECTIONS

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have beencompleted.

Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Somecomponents require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for eachcomponent to be connected to this unit.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connectit to the terminals with the same number labels as !, @, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all itsproducts.

Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.

The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

Yellow video signals (composite)

White analog audio signals for the left channel

Red analog audio signals for the right channel

coaxial digital signals

Be sure to connect the right channel (R), left channel (L),“+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections arefaulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if thepolarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the soundwill be unnatural and lack bass.

Connecting 2-channel amplifierConnect the input terminals of a 2-ch power amplifier to theMAIN OUTPUT terminals of this unit. If you connect theAUX input terminals of the external amplifier to the MAINOUTPUT terminals of this unit, be sure to set the volume ofthe external amplifier around –16 dB to –18 dB.

Connecting a rear speaker systemConnect a rear speaker system to the REAR SPEAKER(SURROUND) output terminals of this unit.

Connecting a center speakerConnect a center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKER outputterminals of this unit.

Connecting a subwoofer systemConnect the input terminal of a subwoofer system to theSUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit.

CAUTIONS

Notes on playing a sourceencoded with DTS

• If “DATA ERROR” appears on the display while playing an LDsource encoded with DTS, stop playback and turn the player offand then on again.

• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in anyway, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if youmake a digital connection between this unit and the player.

• If you play an LD source encoded with DTS and set the inputmode to ANALOG, there will be the noise of an unprocessedDTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure toconnect the source to the digital input terminal and set the inputmode to AUTO or DTS.

• If you play a source encoded with DTS and set the input mode toAUTO, there will be a short noise at first while the unitrecognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This isnot a malfunction, and can be avoided by setting the input modeto DTS beforehand. In addition, if you continue to play a sourceencoded with DTS with the input mode setting left to AUTO, thisunit automatically switches to the “DTS-decoding” mode toprevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation.(The “t” indicator lights up on the display.) The “t”indicator will flash immediately after playback of a sourceencoded with DTS has finished. Only a source encoded with DTScan be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want toplay a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back toAUTO.

PLAYING A SOURCE

Notes on playing an LD source• Some audio/video component, such as LD player, output different

audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. Changethe input mode as necessary.

• If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method,this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In thiscase, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

• If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connectthe LD player to the analog terminals and set the input mode toAUTO or ANALOG.

• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encodedwith Dolby Digital, if you switch from the pause or chapterforwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCMor analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital sound isplayed.

Notes on the digital signalThe digital input terminal of this unit can also handle96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals. (To utilize this, use asource that supports 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signalsand set the player for digital output. Refer to the instructionsfor the player.) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling24-bit digital signal is input to this unit.1. The following indicator will appear on the display.

2. DSP programs cannot be selected. Sound will be outputas normal 2-channel stereo sound using only the rightand left main speakers.

3. Delay time and speaker output level cannot be adjusted.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you toelectronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (thiswill, of course, depend on what you are listening to).

When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) is turnedon according to which type of signals the source being played contains.

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind thatmost of these are precise digital re-creations of actual acoustic environments.

• The input source given in the following table for programs 4 through 8 indicates that input source which each programis best suited for.

• Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.

For movie or audio/video sources (Program No. 1 to No. 5: CINEMA DSPprograms)

This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35 mm-filmmovie theater. Dolby Pro Logic decoding,Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding anddigital sound field processing are preciselyperformed without altering the original soundorientation.The surround effect produced by the soundfield folds around the viewer naturally fromthe rear to the right and left and toward thescreen.

The built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder, DolbyDigital decoder or DTS decoder preciselyreproduces the sound and effect of a sourceencoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digitalor DTS.The realization of a highly efficient decodingprocess improves cross talk and channelseparation, and makes sound positioningsmoother and more precise.In this program, the digital sound fieldprocessor is not turned on.

You can enjoy sciencefiction films in a virtual-space sound field thatincludes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital andDTS-encoded software employing the mostadvanced techniques.

2 MOVIETHEATER 1

3 MOVIETHEATER 2

Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of thenewest multi-track films. The sound field ismade to be similar to that of the newest movietheaters, so the reverberations of the sound fielditself are restrained as much as possible. Thedata for the sound field of an opera house areused for the front presence, so the three-dimensional feeling of the sound field isemphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented onthe screen. By using the data for the sound fieldof a concert hall on the surround sound field,powerful reverberations are generated. You canenjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc.with strong presence.

This program is for reproducing sounds on amulti-track film, and is characterized by a softand extensive sound field. The front presence ofthe sound field is relatively narrow. It spatiallyspreads all around and toward the screen,restraining echo effect of conversations withoutlosing clarity. For the surround sound field, theharmony of music or chorus sounds beautifullyin a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

SMALLSelect this position if your rear speakers do not have highability for bass reproduction. In this position, low basssignals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are distributed tothe SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right andleft main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAINposition).

3. MAIN SPChoices: LARGE/SMALLPreset position: LARGE

LARGESelect this position if your main speakers have high abilityfor bass reproduction. In this position, full-range signals onthe main channels are directed to the right and left mainspeakers.

SMALLSelect this position if your main speakers do not have highability for bass reproduction. However, if your system doesnot include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In thisposition, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the mainchannels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUTterminal if “BASS OUT” is set to the SW position.

4. BASS OUTChoices: SW/MAIN/BOTHPreset position: BOTH

SW/BOTHSelect either the SW or BOTH position if your systemincludes a subwoofer. In either position, signals on the LFEchannel and low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the centerand rear channels are directed to the SUBWOOFEROUTPUT terminal if “CENTER SP” is set to the SML orNONE position and “REAR SP” is set to the SMALLposition. In the SW position, low bass signals on the mainchannels are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUTterminal if “MAIN SP” is set to the SMALL position. In theBOTH position, low bass signals on the main channels aredirected to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFEROUTPUT terminal.

Note• When playing a 2-channel source (tape, MD, CD, video

cassette etc.), select the BOTH position to direct low bass signals(below 90 Hz) to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

5. MAIN LVLChoices: NORM (Normal)/–10 dBPreset position: NORM (Normal)

NORM (Normal)Normally select this position.

–10 dBSelect this position if the sound output from the mainspeakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the soundoutput from the center and rear speakers. In this position,the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.

Notes• The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and

“BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the 6CHINPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.

• Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REARSP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do nothave to change any settings unless your speaker system ismodified.

6. D.D. LFE (Adjusting the outputlevel of the LFE channel for DolbyDigital)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps)Preset value: 0 dB

Note• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digitalcontains LFE signals.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFEsignals are mixed with signals of other channels and theyare directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signallevel to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

7. D-RANGE (Adjusting the dynamicrange)

Choices: MAX/STD (Standard)/MINPreset position: MAX

Note• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded.

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximumlevel and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movieoriginally designed for movie theaters feature a very widedynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify theoriginal sound track into a home audio format with thiswide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds ofextremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable forhome use. Depending on the condition of your listeningenvironment, it may not be possible to increase the soundoutput to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However,at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, thelow-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard wellbecause they will be lost among noise in your environment.Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible toreduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a homeaudio format by “compressing” the sound data.

MAXIn this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital isreproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamicrange to provide you with powerful sounds just like those ina movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better ifyou can listen to a source at a high output level in a roomspecially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard)In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital isreproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of thesource that is suitable for low-level listening.

MINIn this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than inthe STD position. Selecting this position will be effectivewhen you must listen to a source at a low level.

Note• It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally

depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STDposition.

8. DTS LFE (Adjusting the outputlevel of the LFE channel for DTS)

Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (in 1 dB steps)Preset value: 0 dB

Note• This adjustment is effective only when DTS is being decoded and

the selected source encoded with DTS contains LFE signals.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFEsignals are mixed with signals of other channels and theyare directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signallevel to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

9. CNTR DELAY (Adjusting the delayof the sound from the centersound)

Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms steps)Preset value: 0 ms

This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the mainchannels) and dialog, etc. (on the center channel). The largerthe value, the later the dialog, etc. is generated.

This makes sounds from the left main, center and right mainspeakers reach your listening position at the same time. Thisis achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker ifthe distance from the center speaker to your listeningposition is shorter than the distance from the right and leftmain speaker to your listening position.

10.MEM. GUARD (Locking thesettings)

Choices: ON/OFFPreset position: OFF

When using the digital sound field processor with the DolbyPro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder,you can adjust the delay time between the main sound andsound effect, and each speaker’s output level as you wish.

Note• When high-rate 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals are input

to this unit, the delay time and speaker output levels cannot beadjusted.

Delay TimeYou can adjust the time difference between the beginning ofthe sound from the main speakers and the beginning of thesound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value,the later the sound effect is generated. The delay time can beindividually adjusted to all DSP programs.

Notes• Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some

sources.• The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay

time.

Sound Output Level of the Center,Right Rear and Left Rear Speakers,and Subwoofer

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of eachspeaker even if it has already been adjusted in“ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE” on pages 14and 15.

Notes• The sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted

when the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded withDolby Digital in 2-channel.

• If “CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position,the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted.This is because the center channel sound is automatically outputfrom the right and left main speakers.

• Once the sound output level has been adjusted, the level will bethe same for all DSP programs.

Notes• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back the source must be connected

to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter isbeing used without using a DTS decoder, only a loud hissing noise will be heard when you play back the source.

• The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back asource encoded with DTS. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from DTS-decoding mode toPCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.

Remote control

SYMPTOM

The remote control doesnot work.
