PREPARATION

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used

This unit has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with an 8-speaker system, using left and right main speakers, left and right rear speakers, left and right front effect speakers and a center and rear center speakers. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.

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.). The front effect speakers are used for the effect sound. If for some reason it is not practical to use one of speakers (for example, 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 the models of equivalent performance with the main 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) channel with high fidelity when the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

CAUTION

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Front effect speaker (R)

Center speaker

Rear speaker (R)

Front effect speaker (L)

Main speaker (R)

1.8 m (6 feet)

Subwoofer

Main speaker (L)	Rear center speaker
	Rear speaker (L)

■ Main speakers

Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

■ Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor and centrally between the main speakers.

■ Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.

Note

■ Rear center speaker

Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers.

■ Front effect speakers

Place the front effect speakers about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 feet) outside the main speakers and in front of the room, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.

■ Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

•If you do not use any effect speakers (rear, front effect, center and/or rear center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items in the SET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to.

PREPARATION

English

11

SPEAKER SETUP

Connecting the Speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

•Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.

•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.

■ Speaker cables

			A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
			running side by side. One of the cables is colored or
	10 mm (3/8”)		shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.
			1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of
	1	2	insulation from each of the speaker cables.
			2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable
			together to prevent short circuits.
	■ Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals
	Red: positive (+)	3	1 Unscrew the knob.
	Black: negative (–)		2 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
		2	of each terminal.
			3 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

If the video monitor is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks of this unit, the OSD can be shown only when operating the SET MENU. However, the OSD cannot be superimposed over the image.

Notes

•Playing back video software that has an anti-copy signal or video signals with a lot of noise may produce unstable images.

•The OSD signal output to the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks is created from the composite or S- video signal. Therefore, the quality of the OSD signal may vary depending on the signal input through the VIDEO or S VIDEO jacks.
