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

INTRODUCTION PREPARATION

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

ADVANCED OPERATION 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 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 36 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. APPENDIX
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.

Connecting the Antennas

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals. INTRODUCTION
s Indoor FM antenna (included)
Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The indoor FM antenna is only a simple antenna. For reception with better sound quality, installing the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) is recommended.

Do not connect an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM antenna at the same time.

s Outdoor FM antenna

Antenna adapter (included for U.S.A. and Canada models)
Use this adapter to match with F-type connector.

75-ohm coaxial cable

You may be unable to obtain good FM radio reception depending on your local conditions (distance from the broadcasting station, interposing buildings and mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or authorized service center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local conditions. Install the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) in a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid being affected by automobile ignition noise.

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.

s Notes on playing an LD source
Some audio/video components, such as an 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 and playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital, 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.
s Notes on the digital signal
The digital input terminal of this unit can also handle 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals. (To utilize this, use a source that supports 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals and set the player for digital output. Refer to the instructions for the player.) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signal is input to this unit. 1. The following indicator will appear on the display.

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.

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. INTRODUCTION PREPARATION
