PREPARATION

Placing the Speakers

To enjoy quality sounds thoroughly, you need to place the speakers in their appropriate positions and install them correctly. After deciding the speaker layout, follow the procedure below to install the speakers.

Satellite speaker (R)

Satellite speaker (L)

Place the left/right speakers on both sides of your TV at equal distances. We recommend that you place the speakers at the height of your ears at the listening position, and keep the speakers at least 80 cm (2’ 6”) apart while they are placed 80 cm (2’ 6”) away from the side walls. Main roles: Produces front channel (stereo) sounds. Also produces center channel sounds (dialogues or vocal sounds) and surround channel sounds effectively using the Yamaha Air Surround system.

Subwoofer (NX-SW30)

Satellite speakers (L, R) (NX-S30)

Place the subwoofer near a front speaker and turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections. Main roles: Produces bass sounds and low frequency (LFE) sounds contained in Dolby Digital or DTS.

Subwoofer

Notes

• Be sure to place the satellite speaker (L) on the left of the TV and the satellite speaker (R) on the left of the TV since the speakers are not symmetrical. Check the (L) and (R) marks printed on the back of each speaker to identify them.

• To create better acoustic field, you need to place the satellite speakers properly and adjust the orientation of the virtual surround speakers suited for your listening environment. Also, the arrangement of furniture affects the acoustic field. For details, refer to “Adjusting the Orientation of the Virtual Surround Speakers” (page 16).

• If the speakers interfere with TV reception, noises may appear on the TV screen. In such a case, move the speakers a little away from the TV.

• Bass sounds produced by the subwoofer may be heard differently depending on the listening position and subwoofer location. To enjoy desired sounds, try to change the location of the subwoofer according to the listening position.

PREPARATION

■ Placing the Satellite Speakers

You can place the satellite speakers on a rack, or attach them to a wall. Please select an installation method that suits your room layout.

You can attach the satellite speaker to a commercially available speaker bracket or speaker stand using the screw holes on the bottom of the speakers. In this case, be sure to use 6M (diameter of 6 mm) screws.

To place on a rack

Attach the non-skid pads (small) to the bottom of each speaker, and then place them on level hard

Using non-skid pads prevents the speakers from sliding when they vibrate, and ensures quality sound production.

PREPARATION

198 mm (7-25/32”)

Diameter of 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8” to 5/32”)

You can attach the speakers to a wall using commercially available screws (Diameter: 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8” to 5/32”), Length: 24 mm (15/16”) or more). One speaker requires two screws.

1 Install two screws in the wall where you want

20 mm (25/32”) or more

4 mm (5/32”)

to place the speaker.

2 Hang the speaker on the screws using the

198 mm (7-25/32”)

Notes

• One speaker weighs about 1.4 kg (3 lbs 3 oz). To attach a speaker to a wall using screws, the wall must be firm. Do not attach a speaker to a wall that is made of weak materials such as plaster or veneered woods. Doing so may cause the speaker to fall.

• Make sure you use specified screws to attach a speaker to a wall. Using clamps other than specified screws, such as short screws, nails, or two-sided tape, may cause the speaker to fall.

• When connecting the speakers, fix the speaker cables in place so that cables do not loosen. If your foot or hand accidentally gets caught on a loose speaker cable, the speaker may fall.

• After attaching each speaker, check that the speaker is fixed securely. YAMAHA will bear no responsibility for any accidents caused by improper installations.

■ Placing the subwoofer

Non-skid pad (large)

Attach the non-skid pads (large) to the bottom of the subwoofer, and then place the subwoofer on a level hard floor.

Using non-skid pads prevents the subwoofer from sliding when it vibrates, and ensures quality sound production.

Glossary

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

■ Air Surround

Front surround sound system which is developed by Yamaha enables the surround sound field using six speaker units built in two satellite speakers. In comparison with traditional front surround technologies, the Air Surround system enables a wide range of natural surround sound field.

■ Channel (ch)

A channel is an audio type that has been divided based on range and other characteristics. Ex. 5.1 channel

• Front speakers, Left (1ch), Right (1ch)

• Center speaker (1 ch)

• Surround speakers, Left (1ch), Right (1ch)

• Subwoofer (1 ch x 0.1

In contrast to a full 1-channel band, a component designed to enhance low frequency sound for added effect.

= 0.1 ch)

■ CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor)

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, it’s 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.

■ Dolby Digital

Digital surround sound system which is developed by Dolby Laboratories provides completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center, and right) and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides five full-range audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects (called LFE, or low frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround.

■ Dolby Pro Logic II

It is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround programmed material; provides a convincing three-dimensional sound field on conventional stereo music recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders).

■ DTS (Digital Theater System)

Digital surround sound system developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which provides 5.1 channel audio. With an abundance of audio data, it is able to provide authentic-sounding effects.

■ DVS (Dolby Virtual Speaker)

Front surround sound system which is developed by Dolby Laboratories provides 5.1-channel audio.

■ PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A signal that is changed to digital format without compression. A CD is recorded with 16-bit sound at 44.1 kHz, while DVD recording is anywhere from 16 bits at 48 kHz to 24 bits at 192 kHz, which makes it a higher quality sound than CD. This signal also has a type called Packed PCM (PPCM) that can be compressed without any loss of data.

■ Sampling frequency

The number of sampling (process for digitalizing analog signals) per second. In principle, the higher the sampling rate, the wider the frequency range that can be played back, and the higher the quantized bit rate, the finer the sound that can be reproduced.

■ “SILENT CINEMA”

“SILENT CINEMA” was developed by YAMAHA as 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 on headphones.
