PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes advantage of Yamahas undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from sources encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Todays advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are youll still notice something missing: the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so youll feel all the sound of a live concert. Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately recreate one of several actual live performance environments, all in your own home.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging. Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects. This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

G TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
Lights up when the remote control transmitter is transmitting infrared signals (when a command key is pressed).
Note When using the keys to control Yamaha components, identify them with your components keys. If these keys are identical, their functions will be the same. For each key function, refer to the corresponding instruction in your components manual.
LEARNING NEW CONTROL FUNCTIONS (When the lid is open)
This is a learning remote control transmitter. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to learn control functions from other remote control transmitters. By learning key-functions from other remote control transmitter, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient. Some of the learning-capable keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired. * See page 43 for the learning method. * See page 45 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions). Note If the memory capacity of the remote control transmitter becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote control transmitter, up to about 20 functions can be stored. Store new functions to the learnable-capable keys which are useful for you.

Notes q Newly learned functions will replace previously learned functions. q If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash rapidly. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control transmitters, no further learning is possible. q If the lid is closed while learning and about 5 seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 2. However, if the lid is opened within 5 seconds, the mode before the lid was closed is restored. q There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control transmitter, this remote control transmitter will not be able to learn its signals.

MAKING A NEW MACRO
A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 41 to know what keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other keys. Note If you store a continuous command such as lowering of volume level, it will become a short command when it is carried out as a part of macro.
Repeat step 3 to store the second, the third and more functions. You can store up to seven key functions in series as a macro.
* If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the MACRO button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you pressed the MACRO button is restored. If this occurs, press the MACRO button again.
* If the seventh key function has been learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. (This shows that the key has completed learning a series of functions as a macro.) If this occurs, you do no have to follow the next step.
When you finish learning, press the MACRO button.
Press a preset macro key on which you want to make a new macro.
Lights up. * If a key other than a preset macro key is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. If this occurs, repeat this step.
It is recommended to write down new key functions you stored on the provided user function stickers and paste them on the reverse side of the remote control transmitter or the reverse side of the remote control transmitters lid.
Press a key whose function you want to store as the first function of the new macro.
Goes off. (When learning is finished, this indicator lights up again.)
* If a key whose function cannot be stored as a command of macro is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. If this occurs, repeat this step. * If about 30 seconds pass before a key is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 1.

There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method.

Changing the RDS modes

When an RDS station is received, PS, PTY, RT and/or CT that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light up on the display. By pressing the RDS MODE/FREQ (RDS MODE) button once or more, you can change the display mode among the RDS modes employed by the received station in the order shown below. (The RDS mode not employed by the station cannot be selected.) Illumination of the indicator on the head of a name of RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now selected. * When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE/FREQ (RDS MODE) button until one or some names of RDS modes light up on the display. If the button is pressed before one or some names light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet. * If no name of RDS mode lights up on the display, the mode cannot be changed.

PS mode

The name of the station being received is displayed. If the station does not employ the PS data service, this mode will not be selected.

PTY mode RX-V692RDS

The type of the program on the station being received is displayed. If the station does not employ the PTY data service, this mode will not be selected. (You can make this unit search for a station which is broadcasting a program of your desired program type. For details, refer to the next page.)

If the data is accidentally cut off, CT WAIT may light up. If the station does not employ the CT data service, this mode will not be selected.

Frequency display mode

The frequency of the station being received is displayed.
* The mode in the shaded area is for RX-V592RDS only.
Notes RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode) needs much data to be received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed. There may be a case that RDS data reception is not possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the TUNING MODE button so that AUTO (AUTO TUNING) goes off from the display. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed. If the signal strength gets weakened by external interference during receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and.WAIT will light up on the display.
Calling a program of your desired program type from among preset RDS stations (PTY SEEK)
By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset stations for an RDS station which broadcasts a program of that program type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. For details, refer to page 33.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments. In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined operation of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround.
Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field Programs
The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. Note The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

When the lid is closed, the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for the keys numbered 1, 2, 3 and the (+10) key on the left illustration. To use these keys, you do not have to switch the A/B/C switch. The functions which the OPERATION CONTROL keys carry out are determined by which input selector key was pressed before you used the OPERATION CONTROL keys. Note When the lid is closed, the EFFECT, MASTER VOLUME, MUTE, TV and VCR keys will function in the same way as when the lid is open. * If the MACRO switch on the side of the remote control transmitter is set to OFF, when the lid is closed, the SYSTEM POWER and OFF keys also will function in the same way as when the lid is open.
Examples of operations controlled by using the OPERATION CONTROL keys To operate a Yamaha CD player 1. Press the CD input selector key. 2. Use the OPERATION CONTROL keys. (They carry out the functions in area A of keys 2.)

Pressing the V-AUX or PHONO input selector key has no effect on the OPERATION CONTROL keys. Notes If the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for keys which has no function (empty), no command is carried out. According to your plan, store functions from other remote control transmitters into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page 50 for the learning method.)
While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote control transmitter (for example, if you want to rewind a tape on your VCR while listening to a CD), you should open the lid of the remote control transmitter and use the A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys. (If you press an input selector key with the lid closed to change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently playing CD source is canceled.)
MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed)
Macro is a command which defines a sequence of several operations. The keys shown in the illustrations below (as preset macro keys) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual functions. Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control transmitter sequentially. (To know what key functions are sequentially carried out by pressing each preset macro key, see the next page.) Macros can be used only when the lid is closed and the MACRO switch is set to SLOW or QUICK. (If OFF is selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.) Preset macro keys are originally preset with macros. If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (See page 51 for the learning method.)
Setting the MACRO switch OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of

Notes A key in which no function is stored will carry out no command. If it occurs that this unit will not receive the second command because the internal operation of the first command takes a long time, set the MACRO switch to the SLOW position, or add no function or repeat the same command between the first command and the next command. If you will program the power on/off switching function of TV, VCR, etc. as part of a macro sequence, note that it switches the current mode to the other (on to off, or off to on). For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of TV, VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off even though you may not want it to do so.
Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the SLOW position. Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote control transmitter directed at the main units remote control sensor until the remote control transmitter finishes transmitting all command signals of the macro key. You can use the OPERATION CONTROL keys also while using the macro functions.

* If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the LEARN button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. If this occurs, repeat this step.
* If a key which cannot learn another function is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. If this occurs, repeat this step. * If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after a key is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help.
SYMPTOM The unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is pressed, or turns off suddenly soon after the power is turned on. CAUSE Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely inserted. The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is not set to the upper or the lower end exactly. Incorrect output cord connections. Appropriate input source is not selected. The SPEAKERS switches are not set properly. Speaker connections are not secure. The sound suddenly goes off. The protection circuit has been activated because of short circuit etc. The SLEEP timer has functioned. Amplifier Only one side speaker outputs the sound. Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control. Incorrect cord connections. Sound hums. Incorrect cord connections. No connection from the turntable to the GND terminal. The volume level is low while playing a record. The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted. No sound from the rear speakers. The record is being played on a turntable with an MC cartridge. The power to the component connected to the REC OUT terminals of this unit is off. The sound output level to the rear speakers is set to minimum. The monaural sound source is played in DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED mode. No sound from the center speaker. The sound output level to the center speaker is set to minimum. The center channel mode is in PHANTOM mode. Incorrect sound field program selection. FM stereo reception is noisy. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. There is multipath interference. The station is too weak. This unit has been unplugged for a long period. Weak signal or loose antenna connections. REMEDY Firmly plug in the power cord. Set the switch to the upper or the lower end exactly.

No sound or no picture.

Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Select an appropriate input source with the input selector buttons. Set the SPEAKERS switch which corresponds to the speakers to be used to the ON position. Secure the connections. Turning the unit off and then on will reset the protection circuit. Cancel the SLEEP timer function. Adjust it to the appropriate position. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Make the GND connection between the turntable and this unit. The player should be connected to the unit through the MC head amplifier. Turn the power to the component on. Raise the sound output level to the rear speakers. Select another program suitable for the monaural sound source. Raise the sound output level to the center speaker. Select NORMAL or WIDE. Select the appropriate program. Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual tuning mode. Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath interference. Use the manual tuning method. Use a high quality directional FM antenna. Repeat the presetting procedure. Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception. Use the manual tuning method. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all noise. Relocate this unit away from the TV. Change the position of the main unit.
