Simplest system.

Good for Audio/Video sources.
Good for sound fields from 2channel stereo sources.
This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects. When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, using both sets of effect speakers (front and rear), reproduces the most effective sound field. When using the sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or when using any program with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the center speaker provides precise center localization.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear.
By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized.
When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, a sound effect matching that of a 7speaker system can be obtained. The addition of front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective sound field.

Speakers and Speaker Placement
Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a subwoofer. The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models and have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN SPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high performance models that can reproduce sounds in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER and the FRONT EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS. Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position. Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair. Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly six feet up from the floor. Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.) If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

C REC OUT Selector

Selects the source to be recorded to a tape deck or VCR independently of the setting of the input selector buttons. However, when set to the SOURCE position, the setting of the input selector buttons decides the source to be recorded to a tape deck or VCR.

D PROGRAM Selector

Sequentially selects the digital sound field processing programs in the + or direction.

H EFFECT Switch

Normally ON, this switch can be turned OFF to disable output from the center and effect speakers so that the sound becomes normal 2-channels. * Even if this switch is off, when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded, signals at all channels are distributed to the main channels and output from the main speakers.

E SET MENU Switch

Whenever pressed, selects functions in the SET MENU mode.
F DELAY/C/R/F/SWFR Switch
Whenever pressed, selects the item of changing delay time, center speaker output level, rear speaker output level, front effect speaker output level and subwoofer output level in turn. * Depending on a mode of this unit, the number of selections is reduced. For example, when the built-in digital sound field processor (including the Dolby Pro Logic Decoder or the Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder) is off, only the item for changing subwoofer output level can be selected.
I Auxiliary Input Jacks (VIDEO AUX)
Connect an auxiliary video or audio unit such as a camcorder to these jacks. If the connected video unit has a S video output terminal, connect it to the S VIDEO jack to obtain a high resolution picture. The unit connected to these jacks can be selected by the corresponding input selector button and REC OUT selector.

G /+ Button

REAR PANEL SWITCH AND CONTROL SETTINGS
There are several switches and controls on the rear panel that youll have to check before operating your system, and its a good idea to do it before you connect cables. Locate the MAIN LEVEL slide switch (C) and FRONT MIX slide switch (B). Make sure the MAIN LEVEL switch is set to 0 dB and the FRONT MIX switch is set to OFF for 7 or 6 speaker driving. In a 5 or 4 speaker system, set the FRONT MIX switch to ON. Next, set the NTSC/PAL switch (A) to the position corresponding to the standard which your video equipment employs. (General Model only) For the setting of IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch (J), see page 29. For the setting of the center speaker switch (6), see page 27.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTIONS
Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked L on this unit must be connected to jacks marked L on other units. Likewise with the R jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the R jacks and the white plug for the L jacks. For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA type pin plug cables with the exception described later.
With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus () terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color.
CONNECTING AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCE EQUIPMENT TO THIS UNIT

BASIC CONNECTIONS

* If you have YAMAHA audio/video unit numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc. on the rear panel, connections can be made easily by making sure to connect the output (or input) terminals of each unit to the same-numbered terminals of this unit.

If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC3 RF signal output jack to this units OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase). First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack of this unit. This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit. It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this units analog audio signal input jacks regardless of the AC-3 RF signal connection, for playing back an LD source with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural). If desired, you can also connect the digital signal output jack (for 2-channel audio signals) of the LD player to this unit. If you will do so, connect it to the COAXIAL digital signal input jack of this unit, and connect the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL digital signal input jack of this unit. By this connection, if the input mode of the DVD/LD source is in AUTO, you can enjoy listening to sounds decoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) when you play a disc encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) though signals are input to both OPTICAL and COAXIAL digital signal input jacks of this unit simultaneously (because signals input to the OPTICAL jack take priority of signals input to the COAXIAL jack). See page 39 for details about switching the input mode.
NOTES q If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely. However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off. q When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must switch off the power to the RF demodulator.

CONNECTING TO S VIDEO JACKS
If your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. and your monitor are equipped with S (high-resolution) video terminals, connect them to this units S VIDEO jacks, and connect this units S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the S video input of your monitor. Otherwise, connect the composite video jacks from your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. to the VIDEO jacks of this unit, and connect this units VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the composite video input of your monitor. NOTE: If video signals are sent to both S VIDEO input and VIDEO input jacks, the signals will be sent to their respective output jacks independently. NOTE: If your unit is the General Model, be sure the NTSC/PAL switch has been correctly set to the standard that your video equipment employs. Other models have no switch and use the PAL standard. Notes about the Video superimpose q If you watch a video source that is connected to both S VIDEO and VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from only the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. q When no video signal is input to either S VIDEO or VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from both S VIDEO MONITOR OUT and VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks with a color background. * For the General Model, if the NTSC/PAL switch on the rear panel is set to PAL, nothing will be output from either S VIDEO MONITOR OUT or VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack in this case.

2. DYNAMIC RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range)
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN Preset position: MAX * This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded.
MAX: Dynamic range is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is reproduced in the original sound tracks wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater. Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment. STD (Standard): Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard as well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to reduce an original sound tracks dynamic range for a home audio format by compressing the data. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is reproduced in the compressed dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening. MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source in extremely low level.
3. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel)
Control range: 20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step) Preset value: 0 dB * This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) contain LFE signals.

NOTE: Adjusting the master VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE controls, etc., or selecting a sound field program has no effect on the material being recorded. NOTE: Composite video and S video signals pass independently through this units video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source unit is connected to provide only a S video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only a S video (or only a composite video) signal on your VCR. NOTE: A source that is connected to this unit between digital jacks only cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit. NOTE: Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material may infringe copyright laws.
You can monitor the audio (or the audio and video) signals being recorded by selecting the recording unit (TAPE (MD), VCR 1 or VCR 2) with the corresponding input selector button. You can watch or listen to any other source by selecting it with the corresponding input selector button.
If you watch a video software that uses scramble or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, there may be a case that display information superimposed on the picture and/or the picture itself is disturbed due to those signals.
SELECTING SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS
This unit has 10 programs for digital sound field processing, 6 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 4 programs for Audio/Video sources including sources encoded with Dolby Pro Logic surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3).
