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. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Dolby, the double-D symbol and Pro Logic are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

(Lower position) Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 8 or higher.
Center: If you use one center speaker, the impedance of the speaker must be 8 or higher. If you use two center speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 4 or higher. Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8 or higher. <Except Canada model> If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 16 or higher.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement. Outdoor FM antenna Indoor FM antenna (included) Outdoor AM antenna
75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 75-ohm coaxial cable
AM loop antenna (included)
75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 300-ohm feeder
Ground Connecting the AM loop antenna
Orient so that the best reception is obtained.
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes q When connecting the indoor FM antenna, insert its connector into the FM ANT terminal firmly. q If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

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 0. 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 0. 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.
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.
There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening).
Noises will result from ligtning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. A television set is being used nearby. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit. The batteries of this remote control transmitter are too weak.
