SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers
This unit has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with a 5-speaker system, using main left and right speakers, rear left and right 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 manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality. The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). 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 the models of equivalent performance with the main speakers.

Speaker placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Center speaker Main speaker (R) Rear speaker (R) Subwoofer

Main speaker (L)

1.8 m (6 feet)

Rear speaker (L)

I Main speakers
Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance between each speaker and each side of the video monitor should also be the same.

I Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video 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.
I 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 Dolby Digital or DTS signals. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

I Types of video jacks

There are three types of video jacks as follows:

S VIDEO VIDEO

1 VIDEO jack
I Connecting another video component
Connect the audio signal output jacks on your video component to the AUDIO jacks and connect the video signal output jack on the component to the VIDEO jack on this unit.
Conventional composite video signal.

2 S VIDEO jack

Transmits color and luminance separately and achives high-quality color reproduction.

3 COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

Transmit color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR) and luminance separately and provide the best quality picture. Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite video, S-video and component jacks are only output through the corresponding composite video, S-video, and component jacks. Use a commercially available cable specified for connecting each type of jacks. The description of the component video jacks may differ depending on the component (e.g. Y, CB, CR/Y, PB, PR/Y, B-Y, R-Y etc.). When using these jacks, refer also to the operation instructions for the component being connected.
I Connecting a VCR or DVR (digital video recorder)
Connect the audio signal input jacks on your video component to the AUDIO OUT jacks and connect the video signal input jack on the video component to the VIDEO OUT jack on this unit for picture recording. Connect the audio signal output jacks on your component to the AUDIO IN jacks and connect the video signal output jack on the component to the VIDEO IN jack on this unit to play a source from your recording component.
If your video component has an S-video input, connect the S-video signal input jack on the component to the S VIDEO OUT jack. If your video component has an S-video output, connect the S-video signal output jack on the component to the S VIDEO IN jack.
I Connecting a video monitor
Connect the video input jack on your video monitor to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack.
Once you have connected a recording component to this unit, keep its power turned on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other components. S-video and component video signals pass independently through this units video circuit. Make sure to connect this unit to both a source component and a recording component using the video jacks of the same system.
If you connect this unit with a source component using S-video (or Component video) jacks, you also need to connect your video monitor using S-video (or Component video) jacks.
I Connecting a DVD player/digital TV/cable TV
Connect the optical digital audio signal output jack on your component to the DIGITAL INPUT jack and connect the video signal output jack on the component to the VIDEO jack on this unit. Then connect AUDIO jacks on your component to the AUDIO jacks on this unit.

If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set this unit to standby mode and check the speaker connections.

Press AMP.

Press TEST to output the test tone.
0104V530_20-22_EN(GB) 21 1/18/02, 6:40 PM
Adjust the level of the effect speakers using j / i so that it matches the level of the main speakers. While adjusting, the test tone is heard from the selected speaker.
To adjust the level of the main speakers, use VOLUME knob (or VOLUME +/ on the remote control).
When adjustment is complete, press TEST to stop the test tone.
If 1A CENTER on the SET MENU is set to NON and the center speaker is not connected, the center channel sound is automatically output from the main left and right speakers. If 1C REAR LR on the SET MENU is set to NON, the output level of the rear left and right speakers cannot be adjusted in step 4. The test tone will be circulated skipping the rear right and left speakers. If 1D BASS on the SET MENU is set to MAIN, the test tone will be circulated skipping the subwoofer.
It is not necessary to readjust the speaker levels once they are set (as long as you do not change the speakers). You can enjoy listening to or watching the input source at the desired volume simply by adjusting the VOLUME knob (or VOLUME +/ on the remote control). If the output level of the effect speakers (center, rear left, and rear right) cannot be increased enough to match the level of the main speakers, set 1E MAIN Lv on SET MENU to 10 dB (see page 44). This setting decreases the main speaker output level to about one-third of the normal level. After you have set 1E MAIN Lv on the SET MENU to 10 dB, adjust the levels for the center and rear speakers again.

Press LEVEL repeatedly to select the speaker(s) you want to adjust. Each time you press LEVEL, the selected speaker changes and appears on the front panel display as follows: center, rear right, rear left and subwoofer.
Center speaker output level

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 and designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can differ so widely, its inevitable that there are differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater in the listening room of your own home.

I SILENT CINEMA

YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed using headphones.
Dolby Pro Logic is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround softwares. This new technology enables a discrete 5channel playback with 2 main left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear left and right channels (instead of only 1 rear channel for conventional Pro Logic technology). A music mode is also available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie mode.
0110V530_54-61_EN(GB) 58 1/18/02, 6:46 PM
YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects even without any rear speakers by using virtual rear speakers. It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal 2-speaker system that does not include a center speaker.

I S-video signal

With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images.

I PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without using any compression. This is used as a method of recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per very small unit of time. Standing for pulse code modulation, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and then modulated for recording.

I Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB/CB and PR/CR 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 use the component signal for output.
