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 full 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 Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. Rather than tell you about the wonders of digital sound field processing, however, lets get right down to the business of setting up the system and trying out its many capabilities. 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. Whats more, 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

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the passive Dolby Surround circuits found in todays typical home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so that there are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well. This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system increases sound stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels compared to conventional analog Dolby signal processing. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This circuit always presents you the best surround conditions without performing manual adjustments.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
You can also enjoy a combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP in the sound field program PRO LOGIC ENHANCED. It recreates the surround effect of a movie theater, effectively duplicating its multiple surround loudspeaker system, completely surrounding the listener with the sounds of the action taking place on the screen.
SPEAKER SETTING UP FOR THIS UNIT

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker. Refer to the 4-Speaker Configuration shown below.) The front speakers are used for the output of the main source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be the speakers of your present stereo speaker system. The rear speakers are used for the output of the effect sound. And the center speaker is used for the output of the center sound (dialog etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal in power to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.

Description of Each Sound Field Program
The following list gives brief descriptions 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 them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. Note The channel level balance between the left rear effect speaker and the right rear effect speaker 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. PROGRAM FEATURE This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with the Dolby Surround. The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, compared to the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated. This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with the Dolby Surround. Enhancing the Normal Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of a 35 mm film theater, thus widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence. This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, the orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall. This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono movies, news broadcasts and dialog. This program is suitable for rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically. In this program, the center seems even more deeply behind the front speaker pair, creating an expansive, large hall ambience.

Description of Dolby Pro Logic Surround
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND: This unit employs the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. This system is similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in movie theaters. By employing a four-channel system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signals into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize dialog), and the rear surround-sound channels (to characterize sound effects, background noise and other ambient noise). Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home video system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on this unit decodes the signal and feeds the surround-sound effects. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby Surround.

Additionally licensed under one or more of the following patents: U.S. numbers 3,632,886, 3,746,792, and 3,959,590; Canadian numbers 1,004,603 and 1,037,877. Dolby and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
To play a source with the digital sound field processor
Follow steps shown in OPERATIONS on page 13. Notes q If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT switch again. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect.
In the CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK CONCERT and CONCERT HALL modes, no sound is heard from the center speaker. When a monaural sound source is played in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED mode, no sound is heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the center mode is in the PHANTOM, the front speakers output the sound of the center speaker. When this unit is in the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE controls, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect.

CONCERT HALL

Select the desired program that is suitable for the source.
The selected program name is shown on the display.
If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on the next page.)
Adjustment of the CENTER level
If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the center speaker with this control even if the output level is already set in Speaker balance adjustment on page 12.

If the digital sound field program is in the CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL mode, this adjustment is unnecessary. Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED modes. If a digital sound field program is not used, this adjustment is unnecessary.
Adjustment of the REAR level
If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the rear speakers with this control even if the output level is already set in Speaker balance adjustment on page 12.
Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in all the digital sound field programs. If a digital sound field program is not used, this adjustment is unnecessary.

Adjustment of DELAY TIME

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the source sound and the beginning of the effect sound with the DELAY TIME keys. The DELAY TIME keys are effective with all programs. By applying more or less delay, sound effects, background noise, and ambient noise coming at you from the rear speakers can be enhanced or subdued for extra effect. 1. : from 15 to 30 milliseconds (Preset value: 20 milliseconds) 2. PRO LOGIC : from 15 to 30 milliseconds ENHANCED (Preset value: 20 milliseconds) 3. CONCERT VIDEO : from 1 to 100 milliseconds (Preset value: 25 milliseconds) 4. MONO MOVIE : from 1 to 100 milliseconds (Preset value: 25 milliseconds) 5. ROCK CONCERT : from 1 to 100 milliseconds (Preset value: 15 milliseconds) 6. CONCERT HALL : from 1 to 100 milliseconds (Preset value: 30 milliseconds) PRO LOGIC
By continuously pressing + or key, the value changes continuously. However, the value stops changing momentarily at the preset point. Adjustable

DELAY TIME ms

Notes q Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some sources. Experiment with the DELAY TIME keys to create the effect that you find most suitable.
The values of the DELAY TIME you set the last time will remain memorized even when the power of this unit is off. However, if the power plug cord is kept disconnected for more than two weeks, these values will be invalid.

SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER

If you use the SLEEP timer of this unit, you can set this unit to be turned off automatically. When you are going to sleep while enjoying a broadcast or other desired input source, this timer function is helpful.
