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 Yamaha’s 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 totally new listening environment. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-encoded video sources 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? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll 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 you’ll 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 actual music venues to allow you to accurately recreate live performance environments in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of a 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 front and rear channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in less sophisticated home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so 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.
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 R-V701 only
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 SETUP
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with this unit are front speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.)
The front 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 etc.) within the Dolby Surround encoded programs. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the front speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If a Dolby Surround program is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.
●Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 12.)

*R-V501 only
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If a Dolby Surround program is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.
●Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 12.)
●R-V501 only
The program DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration.

As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers.
However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there are more than one listener in the listening room. When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers (your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
Front R
Center
Front L
TV set
Rear R
Front: In normal position. (The position of your present stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)
