FEATURES OF THE SOUND EFFECTS
Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment.
This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV
amplifiers available. Some of the more advanced features may
not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art
technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems
(DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably
experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in
theaters around the world.
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 the chances are that 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 to your listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound
of a live concert.
To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit
includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening
environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound
field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an
outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take
some time now to read more about these features and enjoy
the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture
the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, theaters, etc.
from around the world, to allow you to accurately re-create any
one of these live performance environments, all in your own
home.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround has been used in movie theaters since the midseventies. It has also been available in home entertainment
systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular
format for home theater systems. It uses four discrete channels
and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound
effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for
dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear
channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.
Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround
encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro
Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal
processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more
accurate sound positioning than is available with standard
analog processors.
5
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the next level of the Dolby Surround sound
system that was developed for 35 mm-film movies by
employing low bit-rate audio coding.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides
completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby
Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes
referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left,
center and right), and 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 “LFE channel”.) This channel is
counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in
total.
Compared to Dolby Surround, which is referred to a “3/1”
system (left front, center, right front and just one surround
channel), Dolby Digital 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 decoder, you can experience
the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Digital theater sound
in your home.
The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five fullrange channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound
processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that
have never been experienced before.
Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as already mentioned, but 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 Dolby Digital in the
market.
Laser disc and DVD are home audio/video program sources
that could benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby
Digital will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The
ongoing release of Dolby Digital theatrical films now underway
will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded
video software.

“Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS (Digital Theater Systems) was developed to replace
analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of
digital soundtracks, and it is now 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.
DTS technology, through intense research and development
has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete
technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment.
DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which
delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically,
it is 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 on to some laser discs, compact
discs and DVDs with considerably less data compression.
By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTSinstalled theater’s high quality sound in your home.
Laser disc, compact disc and DVD are home audio formats by
which DTS can present its high-quality multi-channel audio. (In
addition to movies on laser discs, many exciting new multichannel music recordings will also become available in the
form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
English
The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full
ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater
that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound
environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is
difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the
number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening
room is very different from a movie theater.
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-decoded sound
field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment
and emphasize the surround effect in the room, letting you
feel as much presence as if you were watching a movie in a
popular Dolby Stereo theater.
Refer to pages 28 to 29 for the DSP program.
However, YAMAHA DSP technology allows you to create nearly
the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in
your home by compensating for the lack of presence and
dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround
sounds.
CINEMA DSP
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP
technology and Dolby Surround or DTS.
Dolby Digital 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 Digitaldecoded or DTS-decoded sound field, respectively. They
create a wide acoustic environment and strong surround
effect in the room without losing high-channel separation. With
the wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS sound, this
sound field combination lets you feel as if you were watching
a movie in the newest Dolby Digital theater or DTS-installed
theater. This is the most ideal home theater sound at the
present time.
Refer to pages 28 to 29 for the DSP program.

SPEAKERS TO BE USED
English
SPEAKER SETUP
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with
a 5-speaker configuration, using main speakers, rear speakers
and a center speaker.
The main 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, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is
not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it.
Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.
The main speakers should be high-performance models and
have enough power-handling capacity to accept the maximum
output of your audio system.
The 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 over
the full range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective
not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all
channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency
effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source that
is Dolby Digital or DTS-decoded. The YAMAHA Active Servo
Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively
bass reproduction.
Main: The position of your present stereo speaker

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (COAXIAL AND/OR OPTICAL) TERMINALS
English
If your DVD (LD) player, TV/DBS 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.
Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog
audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are
necessary, especially for an LD player or a DVD player, to send
signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to this unit.
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 COAXIAL (or
OPTICAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit
connected with the same-named analog audio signal terminals
of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a
tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit. You can
easily switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and
“analog.” (See page 25 for details.)
Notes
• When connecting an audio/video unit to both the digital and
analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect between
both terminals of the same name.
• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used in order to protect them from dust.
• The input signal from the DVD/LD input terminals is selected
in the following order of priority with the input mode set to the
AUTO position:
1 COAXIAL terminal
2 OPTICAL terminal
3 Analog terminal
• If the DIGITAL OUT data of the player has been processed in
any way, you may not be able to perform DTS playback even
if you make a digital connection between this unit and the
player.
• All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to
sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
No sound will be generated when connecting your LD
player’s Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal directly to
this unit’s COAXIAL DVD/LD digital signal input terminal.
