PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
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. This unit has a total of 12
digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an
excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field
(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 and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel
sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources,
and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of DTSencoded audio and video sources. The operation of the Dolby
Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder can be
controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including
combined operations of DSP and Dolby Pro Logic Surround, DSP
and Dolby Digital (AC-3), or DSP and DTS.
This unit also features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you the best performance without
manual adjustment.
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 a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs,
theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately
recreate any one of these 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
Stereo 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 channel (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 a lot of sound tracks of prerecorded video tapes, laserdiscs, 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.
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of Dolby Surround
sound system which is a spatial sound processing format
developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate
audio coding.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that
provides completely independent multi-channel audio to
consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3)
provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred
to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and
right), plus two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect
channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency
effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other
channels. (This is called the “subwoofer channel” or “LFE
channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to
the term 5.1 channels in total.
Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system
(left front, center, right front and just one surround channel),
Dolby Digital (AC-3) features two surround channels, called
stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range
fidelity as the three front channels.
By using the built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo
Digital theater sound in your own home.
Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range
channels presents listeners much excitement that has never
been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the
discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the
original movie possesses.
The DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to
replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete
channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is installed in many
theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system
changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six
discrete channels of superb digital audio.
The DTS technology, through intense research and
development, made it possible to deliver a similar
encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surroundsound entertainment.
The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which
delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically
5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and
two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as
“0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that
are currently available for home theater systems
The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the
six channels of 20-bit audio onto any laserdisc or compact disc
(or DVD in the near future) with considerably less datacompression.
By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS
installed theater’s high quality sound in your own home.
Laserdisc and compact disc (and DVD in the near future) are
home audio format within which DTS can represent its high
quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on
laserdiscs, many exciting new multi-channel music recordings
will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded
compact discs.)

Dolby Digital (AC-3) forms 5.1 channels as mentioned on the
previous page, and moreover, it can also form fewer channels,
for example 2 channel stereo and monaural. You may be able
to find some 2 channel stereo and/or monaural sources
encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in a market.
If a 2 channel stereo source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) is played back as the input source and the DSP
program No. 10, 11 or 12 is used at the same time, the source
is first decoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder into 2
channels, and then decoded with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder.
In such a case, only the decoding of Dolby Pro Logic is shown
on the display panel of this unit.
Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit
from Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-
3) will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing
release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway
will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital (AC-3)
encoded video software.

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and
the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surrounddecoded sound field respectively. They create a wide
acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the
room, letting you feel much presence as if you were
watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of
No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog,
PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2channels.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS + 3 Digital Sound
Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and
the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby
Digital (AC-3)-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound field
respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and
much surround effect in the room without losing high
channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby
Digital (AC-3) or DTS sound, this sound field combination
lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest
Dolby Stereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This
will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present
time.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS
DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the
input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-
3) (except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS.
CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
Dolby Surround sound system and DTS system show their full
ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater
using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound
environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening
room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the
number of speakers, etc. of your listening room are much
different from those of a movie theater.
Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with
nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie
theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of
presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original
digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound or
DTS Digital Surround sound.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology
and Dolby Surround or DTS.

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field
quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of
main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs
of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center
speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a
seven-speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one
pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide
impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a
good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to
the full seven-speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker
system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still performed,
but the main speakers are used for both the main channels
and the front effect channels.
Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is
Recommended
When playing back a source with the Dolby Pro Logic
decoded, or playing back a source which contains centerchannel signals with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS
decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the center
channel. Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance
of your Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended
that you use a center channel speaker.
If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, it
is possible to enjoy movie viewing without it. Best results,
however, are obtained with the full system.
Use of a Subwoofer Expands Your Sound
Field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer
is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any
or all channels, but also for reproducing signals at the
subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a
source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS decoded. You
may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own builtin power amplifier.
SPEAKER SETUP
Speakers and Speaker Placement
Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker
pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers),
the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS,
plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a
SUBWOOFER.
The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models
and have enough power handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system.
Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN
SPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it is
ideal to use high performance models that can reproduce
sounds in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONT
EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.
Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the
MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.5–1m behind and
above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.
Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.
They should be nearly 1.8m up from the floor.
Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two
MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker
above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically
shielded speaker.)
If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo
Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical
because low bass tones are not highly directional.

Simplest system.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two
additional speaker units at the rear.
1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.)
6 Speaker System
Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources.
When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound
field programs No. 1 through No. 6, a sound effect matching
that of a 7-speaker system can be obtained. The addition of
front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective
sound field.
1E. FRONT MIX—Set to OFF-7ch. (See page 27.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.)
5 Speaker System
Good for Audio/Video sources.
By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals
etc.) are precisely localized.
1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 26.)
7 Speaker System
This is the recommended speaker system, providing the
best sound effects.
The rear speakers and the front effect speakers produces a
360-degree sound field, and the center speaker provides
precise center localization.
You can experience the amazing YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP”
sound fields completely with the 7 speaker system.

m Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals
If your CD player, MD recorder, LD player, DVD player,
TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical
digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to
this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal input
terminals.
To make a connection between optical digital audio signal
terminals, remove the cover from each terminal, and then
connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber
cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not
function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or
COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit
connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals
of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape
deck or VCR connected to only analog audio signal terminals
of this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals
between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 41 for details.)
* However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this
unit’s OPTICAL MD/TAPE 1 PLAY and REC terminals, it
can record input sources connected to this unit’s OPTICAL
digital signal input terminals.
Notes
●
When you connect an audio/video unit to both of the digital
and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to
both terminals of the same name.
●
Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from
dust.
●
All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the
sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
●
In order to make this unit perform a successful DTSdecoding, the DTS bitstream must not be altered,
manipulated or corrupted in the process that it is sent from
the DIGITAL OUT terminal of a unit playing back a source
encoded with the DTS to a digital signal input terminal of
this unit.

English
Note on center speaker connection:
One or two center speakers can be connected to this unit. If
you cannot place the center speaker on or under the TV, it is
recommended to use two center speakers and place them on
both sides of the TV to orient the center sound at the center
position. When using one center speaker, connect it to either
the A or B terminals and set the CENTER SPEAKERS switch
to “A OR B” (bottom position). When using two center
speakers, connect them to the A and B terminals, and set the
switch to “A + B” (top position).
If, however, you will not use a center speaker, be sure to set
the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode in the
“NONE” position. (See page 26.)
Note on a subwoofer connection:
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies
or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel when
reproducing discrete signals.
When using one subwoofer, connect the SUBWOOFER
MONO terminal of this unit to the INPUT terminal of the
subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the
subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer.
If you wish to obtain more presence in your listening room, the
use of two subwoofers is recommended. To connect two
subwoofers to this unit, connect one SUBWOOFER SPLIT
terminal to the INPUT terminal of the amplifier driving a
subwoofer, and the other SUBWOOFER SPLIT terminal to the
INPUT terminal of the amplifier driving the other subwoofer,
and then connect each subwoofer to the corresponding
amplifier.
With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo
Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer
are in the same unit.

The speaker connections described on page 18 are fine for
most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to
drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with your
existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for
connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.
1 MAIN CH PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
The PRE OUT terminals are for main channel line output,
and the MAIN IN terminals are for line input to the built-in
main channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN IN
terminals must be connected with jumper bars when the
built-in amplifier is used.
However, if you drive main speakers with an external
stereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars, and
then connect the input terminals of the external amplifier
(MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver)
to the PRE OUT terminals. No connection is needed to
the MAIN IN terminals.
* Output signals from the PRE OUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE
controls and BASS EXTENSION switch.
2 CENTER OUT/IN terminals
The CENTER OUT terminals are for center channel line
output, and the CENTER IN terminal is for line input to the
built-in center channel amplifier.
The lower side of CENTER OUT terminals and the
CENTER IN terminal must be connected with a jumper
bar when the built-in amplifier is used.
However, if you drive one or two center speakers with an
external power amplifier (for each), first remove the
jumper bar, and then connect the input terminal(s) of the
external amplifier(s) to either or both CENTER OUT
terminals. No connection is needed to the CENTER IN
terminal.
3 SUBWOOFER terminals
SUBWOOFER MONO terminal
When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to
this terminal. Frequencies below 90 Hz distributed from
the main, center and/or rear channels are output from this
terminal. Signals of LFE (low frequency effect) generated
when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS is decoded are
also output if they are assigned to this terminal.
SUBWOOFER SPLIT terminals
When using two subwoofers, connect their amplifier
inputs to these terminals. Low bass signals that are
output from the SUBWOOFER MONO terminal are also
output from these terminals. However, signals from the
left main and left rear channels are output to the SPLIT L
terminal, and signals from the right main and right rear
channels are to the SPLIT R terminal separately.
4 FRONT terminals
These terminals are for front effect channel line output.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
However, if you drive front effect speakers with an
external stereo power amplifier, connect the input
terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX
terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.
5 REAR (SURROUND) terminals
These terminals are for rear channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the builtin amplifier.
However, if you drive rear speakers with an external
stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the
external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an
amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.
Notes
•
Output level of signals from all of these terminals are
adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel
or MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote control
transmitter.
•
If an external power amplifier is connected to the FRONT
or REAR output terminals, the corresponding internal
amplifier will be turned off and no output will be available
at the SPEAKERS terminals.
