The internal microcomputer has been frozen by an external electric shock (such as lightning or excessive static electricity) or by a power supply with low voltage. Speaker cables are short-circuited.
Disconnect the power cable from the AC wall outlet and then plug it in again after about 30 seconds.
CHECK SP WIRES appears in the front panel display. There is noise interference from digital or radio frequency equipment. The picture is disturbed. This unit suddenly enters the standby mode.
Make sure all speaker cables are connected correctly.
This unit is too close to the digital or highfrequency equipment.
Move this unit further away from such equipment.
The video source uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent dubbing. The internal temperature becomes too high and the overheat protection circuitry has been activated. Wait about 1 hour for this unit to cool down and then turn it back on.

Tuner

FM stereo reception is noisy.
The characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts may cause this problem when the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor.
Check the antenna connections. Try using a high-quality directional FM antenna. Use the manual tuning method.
There is distortion, and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. The desired station cannot be tuned into with the automatic tuning method. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned into. The desired station cannot be tuned into with the automatic tuning method.

Sampling frequency and number of quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric value is called the number of quantized bits. The range of rates that can be played back is determined based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range representing the sound level difference is determined by the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies that can be played back, and the higher the number of quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be reproduced.
Sound field program information

CINEMA DSP

Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having many speakers designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original DSP technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the audiovisual experience of movie theater in the listening room of your own home.

Video information

Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is independent. The component signal is also called the color difference signal because the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to output component signals.

Composite video signal

With the composite video signal system, the video signal is composed of three basic elements of a video picture: color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite video jack on a video component transmits these three elements combined.

RX-V359 5.1-Channel Digital Home Theatre Receiver
Advanced Facilities 3 Digital Inputs 2 optical and 1 coaxial digital input terminals let you connect high quality digital devices such as a DVD player or certain cable or satellite boxes. Fixed and Assignable Terminals Yamaha offers terminals that can be either independently assigned to sources or defaulted to fixed settings (digital inputs and component video inputs). Speaker A or B Selection Speaker A or B Selection gives you the advantage of listening to either of two pairs of speakers. High Sound Quality 5.1-Channel 525W Powerful Surround Sound (105W per Channel) This receiver delivers high power output to each of their five channels: two front, one centre and two surround. It provides more than enough power (105W per channel, maximum output power) to fill even the largest rooms with vibrant music and rich sound effects. 192kHz/24-Bit D/A Converters for All Channels This receiver uses extremely high performance 192kHz/24-bit D/A converters for all channels. They perform accurate sound field reproduction for high quality multichannel sources, and for two-channel stereo, provide outstanding separation and precise musical delineation. They deliver superior low level linearity with excellent full-scale performance. High Dynamic Power Capability This receiver is capable of delivering large amounts of reserve power for accurate reproduction of the high energy peaks that are especially prevalent in digital audio sources. This emphasizes the musics dynamic qualities and provides a sharper sound image. High Picture Quality HDTV Compatible 3 Component Video Inputs Component Video inputs offer higher picture quality, for use with units such as DVD players that have Component Video output. The frequency response of the component video signal is 5Hz 60MHz, making it compatible with HDTV (1080i/720p). Because we know that many people like to use several high quality video devices, we have given this receiver three component video inputs instead of the usual one or two. You can enjoy three different sources without having to change connections. Surround Realism Yamahas Exclusive 32-Bit Floating Point Quantization LSI The decoding circuitry performs Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding with extreme Yamahas exclusive 32-bit accuracy.

7 DSP Programmes: 4 CINEMA DSP and 3 HiFi DSP You have a choice of seven unique Yamaha DSP surround programmes to bring out the full audio potential of your entertainment sources. Four are CINEMA DSP programmes for video sources: two Movie (Movie Spacious and Movie Dramatic) and two Entertainment (Game and TV Sports). Three are HiFi DSP programmes for music: Concert Hall, The Roxy Theatre and 5ch Stereo. Night Listening Mode and SILENT CINEMA When youre listening to movies late at night and turn down the volume during loud scenes, dynamic range suffers and you may miss some dialogue and other sounds. With the Night Listening mode, you can reduce the volume and still enjoy proper tonal balance and dynamic range. The SILENT CINEMA mode allows private listening enjoyment of multichannel music or movies, with an accurate simulation of surround sound, through ordinary headphones.
