PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo amplifier –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field
Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full 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 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.
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.

What’s 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 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 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.

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 SETUP 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 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 effect sound. And the center speaker is used for 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.

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 the digital sound field program DOLBY
PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED 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 13.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY
PRO LOGIC ENHANCED 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 13.)

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: 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.)

●

If you use external power amplifiers, their volume controls
may also be adjusted to achieve proper balance.

●

In step 10, if the center channel mode is in the
“PHANTOM” position, the sound output level of the center
speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode,
the center sound is automatically output from the left and
right front speakers.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor, which allows you to expand and shape the audio
sound field from both the audio and video sources, for a theater-like experience in the listening/viewing room.
This digital sound field processor has 8 programs; 6 programs for digital sound field processing and 2 programs for the Dolby Pro
Logic Surround sound system (DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED). You can create an excellent audio
sound field by selecting the suitable program and adding desired adjustments. In addition, when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or
DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED program is selected, the built-in automatic input balance control functions. This presents you the
best surround condition without manual adjustment.

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 Dolby Surround.

PRO LOGIC

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 Dolby Surround.

PRO LOGIC

Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker

ENHANCED

systems of a 35 mm film theater, thus widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence.

CONCERT VIDEO

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.

MONO MOVIE

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.

STADIUM

This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily
spacious feel of a large stadium.

DISCO

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. The
sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.

ROCK CONCERT This program is suitable for rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically.

CONCERT HALL

In this program, the center seems deep 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 system in 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.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation. Additionally licensed under Canadian patent
number 1,037,877. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D
symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation.

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the center
speaker even if the output level is already set in “SPEAKER
BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on page 14.

By continuously pressing “+” or “–” on the CENTER LEVEL
control, the level value changes continuously. However, the
value stops changing momentarily at the preset point (80).

●

If the digital sound field program CONCERT VIDEO, MONO
MOVIE, STADIUM, DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or
CONCERT HALL is selected, the CENTER LEVEL control

cannot function.

●

Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the
same in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED programs.

●

If a digital sound field program is not used, the CENTER
LEVEL control will not function.

3 If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of

each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding
descriptions on this page and the next page.)

Notes

●

If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT switch.
The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without
surround sound effect.

●

When CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, STADIUM,
DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL is

selected, no sound is heard from the center speaker.

●

When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY
PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, no

sound is heard from the front speakers and the rear
speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker.
However, if the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the
front speakers output the sound of the center channel.

●

When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is used,
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.

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 control.
The DELAY TIME control is 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.
