INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL
Insert the batteries in the correct direction by aligning the + and marks on the batteries with the polarity markings (+ and ) inside the battery compartment.

I Notes on batteries

Change all of the batteries if you notice a decrease in the operating range of the remote control. Do not use old batteries together with new ones. Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these different types of batteries may have the same shape and color. If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. Preserving the manufacturer code Replace batteries early before they become unusable. The manufacturer code set by the user will be preserved for about two minutes when batteries run out or when they are removed. Note that the manufacturer code setting may be lost if more than two minutes elapses. Also, if you press any button on the remote control accidentally while replacing batteries, the manufacturer code setting will be lost.

PREPARATION STEPS

In order to enjoy sound and video images with this sound system, follow the procedures as described below. See each page for details. Installing batteries in the remote control (P.3) Before connecting components Do not connect this system or other components to the mains power until all connections between the components have been completed. Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say, L (left) to L, R (right) to R, + to + and to. Some components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation instructions for each component to be connected to this system. Insert the plugs properly. The speakers may not output any sound or may output noise if they are not inserted properly. The name of jack corresponds to input selector. The VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel of AVRS80 and SW-S80 must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110-120V/220-240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

SPEAKER SETUP

This system has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with a 5-speaker system, using front left and right speakers, rear left and right speakers and a center speaker. The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).

Speaker placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Center speaker Front speaker (R) Subwoofer Rear speaker (R)
If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the SET MENU (p.36) to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to. If you use speakers (with different tonal qualities) instead of the included speakers, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.

Connector Color tube (RED) (BLUE) Connector Color tube (BLUE) (BLUE)
The connector of the included speaker cable and the terminal of the subwoofer are classified by color. Connect a connector to the terminal of the same color. The label of the speaker is attached to each speaker cable. Connect the speakers in accordance with the labels. Connect the color tube of the speaker cable to the plus (+) side of each speaker. If the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. A cover is attached to the end of the speaker cable. Connect the speakers after removing the cover. Make sure that the plugs of the system control cable and the connectors of the speaker cables are inserted correctly before inserting them.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this system. This could damage this system and/or the speakers. Do not insert the plug or connector forcibly. Doing so may damage the plug, connector or terminal. Do not scratch, forcibly bend, or pull the system control or speaker cable as this may damage the cable, causing loss of audio output, and may possibly result in a fire or electric shock. Take particular care in making sure that the cable is not squashed by a rack or caster. Before disconnecting or connecting the system control cable, disconnect the power supply cord of the subwoofer and AV receiver.
Remove approximately 15 mm (9/16) of insulation from each of the speaker cables. Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits. Open the tab. Pull the inserted bare wire of the speaker cable from the connector and insert the bare wire of the commercially available speaker cable. Return the tab to secure the wire.

Connecting to an external amplifier
If you want to increase the power output to the speakers, or want to use another amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the 6CH PREOUT jacks as follows.
Connecting the AC power cord
Plug in this system to the wall outlet.

I Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost when the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to power failure. However, if the system is turned off for more than one week, the stored setting will be cleared. If so, set the setting again.

Press AMP. Press TEST to output the test tone. Press VOL +/ to adjust the volume of this system so you can hear the test tone. The test tone is heard (in order) from the LEFT (front left speaker), CENTER (center speaker), RIGHT (front right speaker), R SUR. (rear right speaker), L SUR. (rear left speaker), and the SUBWOOFER (subwoofer). The tone is produced for about 2 seconds from each speaker.
It is not necessary to readjust the speaker levels once they are set (as long as you do not change the speakers). You can enjoy listening to or watching the input source at the desired volume simply by pressing VOL +/ on the remote control. If the output level of the effect speakers (center, rear left, and rear right) cannot be increased enough to match the level of the front speakers, set 1E F. Level on SET MENU to 10 dB (see page 37). This setting decreases the front speaker output level to about one-third of the normal level. After you have set 1E F. Level on the SET MENU to 10 dB, adjust the levels for the center and rear speakers again.
If 1A CENTER on the SET MENU is set to NON, the level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. The test tone skips the center speaker. If 1C REAR LR on the SET MENU is set to NON, the output level of the rear left and right speakers cannot be adjusted in step 4. The test tone will be circulated skipping the rear right and left speakers. If 1D BASS on the SET MENU is set to FRONT, the test tone will be circulated skipping the subwoofer.

I Tuner

FM/ AM Previously preset stations cannot be tuned in. FM stereo reception is noisy.
The preset stations are cleared.
Pre-set the stations once again.
The characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts may cause this problem when the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. There is multipath interference.
Check the antenna connections. Try using a high-quality directional FM antenna. Use the manual tuning method. Adjust the antenna position to eliminate multipath interference.
There is distortion, and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. The desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. The desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
PCM is the usual digital method used for music CDs. DVDs have a greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a higher sampling rate. Compressed PCM signals are called packed PCM (PPCM).
The system incorporates Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel software that enables 6.1channel reproduction by adding the rear center channel to existing 5.1-channel format. (The rear center channel is created from rear left and right channels, and outputted from virtual rear center speaker.) With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially with scenes with fly-over and fly-around effects.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
Sampling frequency and number of quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric value is called the number of quantized bits.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

SILENT CINEMA

YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed using headphones.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software. This new technology enables a discrete 5channel playback with 2 front channels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels (instead of only 1 rear channel for conventional Pro Logic technology). A music mode is also available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie mode.

Virtual CINEMA DSP

YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects even without center or rear speakers by using virtual rear speakers.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
