GETTING STARTED

Checking the Package Contents
Check that the following items are included in your package.

Remote control

Batteries (AAA, R03, UM-4 type)
Antenna adapter (U.S.A. and Canada models only)

Indoor FM antenna

Quick reference card

AM loop antenna

Connection guide
Battery Installation in the Remote Control

Battery Replacement

If the remote control operates only when it is close to the unit, the batteries are weak. Replace all the batteries with new ones. Be sure to replace the batteries within about two minutes. If it takes longer than two minutes, the codes preset for the remote control will return to the factory settings. (Refer to pages 40 to 46 about the remote control.)
Turn the remote control over and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow. Insert the batteries (AAA, R03 or UM-4 type) according the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment cover.
Use only AAA, R03 or UM-4 batteries for replacement. Be sure the battery polarity is correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time. 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.

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers. Main speaker (R)
Rear speaker (R) Subwoofer Main speaker (L) 1.8 m
Center speaker Rear speaker (L)

s Main speakers

Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the same.

s Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the floor.
s Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when playing back a source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

s Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor and centrally between the main speakers.
If the center speaker is not used, the sound will be heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case, CENTER SP in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 34 for details.)

s Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically shielded speakers.

s Notes on playing an LD source
Some audio/video component, such as LD player, output different audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. Change the input mode as necessary. If the input mode is set to AUTO for the LD source, this unit automatically determines which type of signal the LD source contains. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and reproduces 5.1 channel sound. If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog. If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog terminals and set the input mode to AUTO or ANALOG. While you are operating the LD player, if you switch from the pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital sound is played.

5. MAIN LVL

Choices: NORM (Normal)/10 dB Preset position: NORM (Normal)
7. D-RANGE (Adjusting the dynamic range)
Choices: MAX/STD (Standard)/MIN Preset position: MAX INTRODUCTION
NORM (Normal) Normally select this position. 10 dB Select this position if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.
This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded.
The setting of CENTER SP, REAR SP, MAIN SP and BASS OUT have no effect on a source connected to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit. Once you have adjusted appropriately for CENTER SP, REAR SP, MAIN SP, BASS OUT and MAIN LVL, you do not have to change any settings unless your speaker system is modified.
6. D.D. LFE (Adjusting the output level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital)
Control range: 20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps) Preset value: 0 dB
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 a very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending on the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However, at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noise in your environment. Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to reduce an original sound tracks dynamic range for a home audio format by compressing the sound data. MAX In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound tracks wide dynamic range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment. STD (Standard) In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the compressed dynamic range of the source that is suitable for low-level listening. MIN In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source at a low level.
