Connecting Audio Components
s Connecting to digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals (see page 25 for details).
s Connecting a CD player y
The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a CD player which has coaxial or optical digital output jacks. When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL CD jack.
You can designate the input for each digital jack according to your component by using 7 I/O ASSIGNMENT on the SET MENU (see page 44 for details).
s Connecting an MD recorder, tape deck or CD recorder y
Only digital signals input from a source such as a CD or DVD are output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks. When you connect your recording component to both the analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given to the digital signal. You can connect an MD recorder to any digital input jack by using 7 I/O ASSIGNMENT on the SET MENU (see page 44).
About the dust protection cap Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.
When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other components. When you record from a source component connected to this unit while this unit is set in the standby mode, the recorded sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn on this unit.
The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard, this unit may not function properly.

s Connecting a turntable

PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge, use an inline boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to these jacks.

VIDEO jack (composite)

S VIDEO jack

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite video, S-video and component jacks are output through the corresponding composite video, S-video, and component jacks, respectively. If you make S-video connections to this unit, it is not necessary to make composite video connections. If both types of connections are made, this unit gives priority to the S-video signal. You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A and B jacks according to your component by using 7 I/O ASSIGNMENT on the SET MENU (see page 44 for details).
Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jack, and commercially available video cables when connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks. When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owners manual that came with the component being connected.

If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.
s Special considerations when recording DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be recorded as follows: LDs Set your LD players left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack. DVDs Use the disc menu to set the DVD players mixed 2channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack. CDs The DTS signal recorded on CDs can only be output as a digital bitstream, and therefore cannot be recorded.
To record a source that you do not want to simultaneously watch or listen to, set REC OUT to the source you want to record.
Start playback (or select a broadcast station) on the source component. Start recording on the recording component. If you want to listen to another source, and REC OUT is not set to SOURCE, select the source you want to reproduce with INPUT l / h and adjust the volume.
Setting REC OUT to SOURCE and using the BGV function (see page 26) allows the recording of audio and video from a different source.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

The remote control can operate this unit as well as other YAMAHA A/V components. To control the components from other manufacturers (or some from YAMAHA), you must set up the remote control with the manufacturer codes. This remote control also has two sophisticated features: Learn and Macro. The Learn feature allows it to acquire functions from the remote controls of other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with an infrared remote control receiver. The Macro feature allows you to program a series of operations in sequence for operation by a single button, or to use the factory-set macros to operate other YAMAHA components. These features make it possible for you to reduce the number of remote control in your entertainment room.

Digital Sound Field Parameter Descriptions
You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. INTRODUCTION
Not all of the following parameters can be found in every program.
s INIT.DLY (initial delay) (P.INIT.DLY for the presence sound field)
Function: This parameter changes the apparent distance from the sound source by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. Control range: msec Description: The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the apparent distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, for a large room, set it to a large value.
Sound source First reflection Early reflections

INT. DLY INT. DLY

INT. DLY

Sound source

Reflection surface Small value = 1 ms Large value = 99 ms
s ROOM SIZE (P.ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field)
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. Control range: 0.1 2.0 Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.
Sound source Early reflections Level Level Level

Small value = 0.1

Large value = 2.0
0112V1000RDS_69-74_EN 71 9/5/0, 4:44 PM

s LIVENESS

Function: This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. Control range: Description: The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as dead, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as live. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the liveness of the room.

Digitally Regulated Volume Control (New Yamaha Original YAC-520 LSI) Yamaha combines the best features of digital and analog volume controls with a high precision digital device (Yamaha Original YAC-520 LSI) that controls an analog signal. This provides two benefits. First, a digitally controlled device is more accurate for balancing levels between channels and offers much finer control than an analogue device. The wide control range is from 0dB to -99dB, with extremely accurate 0.5dB steps throughout the entire range. This wide range and narrow steps mean that greater attenuation is possible, with precision even at low volume levels. Second, an analog volume control permits
good signal resolution of low signal levels. Auto Priority Input Terminal Selection and Auto Decoder Selection Digital input terminals are provided to handle any kind of digital input. Functions are programmed to select priority in order of coaxial digital, optical digital and analogue when different digital formats are input from the same source. The sound decoder is also automatically selected and processed according to the combination of the format of input signals and the selected sound field programmes, while DSP sound field processing is optimized at the same time.

HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Functions) Transfer functions refer to the transmission of sound to the ears and between the ears and the brain. Head-related refers to the method of measuring transfer functions by placing clinical probe microphones in the ear channels of people in anechoic chambers and recording measurements at many positions around their heads. Using these HRTF maps, Yamaha engineers were able to direct sound into the ears via headphones that accurately reproduces speaker sound from various directions. This is the basis of SILENT CINEMA. Virtual CINEMA DSP is also based on HRTF, and employs aggressive crosstalk cancellation technology. In

essence, the crosstalk signals from the left speaker to the right ear and vice-versa are cancelled and replaced by new signals that simulate rear speakers. Thus you perceive surround sound without R L C R L C actually having rear speakers.
