SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality. The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. The main speakers should be high-performance models and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use highperformance models that can reproduce sounds over the full range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.

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. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

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

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.
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

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.

s AUTO

In this mode, the input signal is selected in the following order of priority: 1. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital 2. Normal digital signal (PCM) 3. Analog signal (ANALOG)
If digital signals are input from both the OPTICAL and COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIAL terminal is selected.
Set the input mode to AUTO to play a DVD/LD source encoded with Dolby Digital. Set the input mode to ANALOG to play a normal 2-channel source with a Dolby Surround program. The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is performed while playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital, and then disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal was selected again. The input mode cannot be changed for the CD, TUNER, TAPE/ MD, VCR and AUX sources because only analog signals are used for these. The current input mode appears on the display when the DVD/ LD, TV/digital TV or satellite tuner source is selected or the input mode is changed.

s ANALOG

In this mode, only an analog signal is selected, even if a digital signal is being input at the same time. Select this mode when you want to use an analog signal instead of a digital signal.
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 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 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. 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.
