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 37 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.

CONNECTIONS

Before Connecting Components
Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between 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 terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each component 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), connect it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products. 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 White Red video signals (composite) analog audio signals for the left channel analog audio signals for the right channel coaxial digital signals

INTRODUCTION PREPARATION

After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

s Digital audio signal terminals
If your DVD/LD player, TV/digital TV or satellite tuner, etc. has coaxial or optical digital signal output terminals, they can be connected to this units COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals. To make a connection between the optical digital signal terminals, remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIA standards. Other cables might not function correctly. When making connections between the digital signal terminals, you should connect the components to the samenamed analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit.
The input signal from the DVD/LD input terminals is selected in the following order of priority with the input mode set to AUTO: COAXIAL terminal OPTICAL terminal Analog terminal. Refer to page 22 for details. All digital signal input terminals are applicable to sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

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.

Press PRG+ or PRG repeatedly to select the desired program. The name of the selected program appears on the display.

DSP program name

If desired, adjust the delay time and the sound output level of each speaker. (Refer to pages 40 and 41 for details.)
You can select a DSP program for each of the input sources. Once you select a program, it is linked with the input source selected at that time. So, when you select the input source next time, the same program is automatically selected. When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/ Normal or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED, no sound will be heard from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. However, if CENTER SP in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position, the center channel sound is output from the main speakers. When a source connected to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit is selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.

s On the front panel

Make sure that the effect speakers (center, rear, and subwoofer) are turned on. Press PROGRAM h or l repeatedly to select the desired program. The name of the selected program appears on the display.
Canceling the Sound Effect (turning off the effect speakers)
Press EFFECT to cancel the sound effect and monitor only the main sound. Press EFFECT again to turn the sound effect back on.

Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The data for the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence, so the threedimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data for the sound field of a concert hall on the surround sound field, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with strong presence.
This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track film, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The front presence of the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

LRG (Large) Select this position if your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers. In this position, fullrange signals on the center channel are directed to the center speaker. SML (Small) Select this position if you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if BASS OUT is set to the MAIN position). NONE Select this position if you do not have a center speaker (4-speaker system). In this position, full-range signals on the center channel are directed to the right and left main speakers.
LARGE Select this position if your main speakers have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, full-range signals on the main channels are directed to the right and left main speakers. SMALL Select this position if your main speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if BASS OUT is set to the SW or BOTH position.

Set the players digital volume control at the maximum, neutral or ineffective position.
In the AUTO mode, the DTS-decoding mode cannot be automatically changed to the normal (PCM) digital signal input mode.
Set the input mode to AUTO again.
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 is being used without using a DTS decoder, only a loud hissing noise will be heard when you play back the source. If you make a search (or skip, etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with DTS, the t indicator goes off. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the standard (PCM) digital signal input mode to prevent a noise from being output.

GLOSSARY

s Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.

s CINEMA DSP CINEMA DSP

The Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital sound and DTS systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater. However, YAMAHA DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround sounds. The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS.

s Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a 3/2 configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the LFE channel.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total. The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before.

s LFE 0.1 Channel

This channel is for reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is called the channel 0.1 because it only reproduces a low frequency range compared to the full-range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz that is reproduced by the 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel system.
s DTS (Digital Theater System) Digital Surround
DTS was developed to replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and it is now installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio. DTS technology, through intense research and development has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it is 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as 0.1). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems.

s S VIDEO Signal

The S VIDEO signal is separated and transmitted as the Y signal which indicates the luminance and the C signal which indicates the chroma of the video signal (composite signal). Using the S VIDEO terminal eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images.
