PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha AV processor/amplifier –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes 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 sources encoded with Dolby Surround 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.

Furthermore, 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

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 Surround movie 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 channels (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 the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, 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.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP

Dolby Surround sound system shows its 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 is 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 field.

The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP is used on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC ENHANCED”.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these programs are created by the combination of Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.

SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.)

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 etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. 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 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 18.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right main 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 18.)

How to Connect to the REAR and CENTER SPEAKERS terminals

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

Caution

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.

Note

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

Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–)

<General model only>

Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

Unscrew the knob.Insert the bare wire.

[Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.]

Tighten the knob and secure the wire.

On main speaker connection

This unit is not equipped with amplifiers for driving main speakers, so connect an external amplifier (power amplifier, integrated amplifier, receiver, etc.) for driving main speakers to this unit.

Connect the MAIN OUTPUT terminals of this unit to the MAIN IN (or equivalent) terminals of the external amplifier, and connect the main speakers to the speaker terminals of the external amplifier.

Notes

If the external amplifier does not have the MAIN IN (or equivalent) terminals, this unit can be connected to the AUX (or TAPE PB) input terminals of the amplifier. If you did so, make sure to select the “AUX” (or “TAPE”) input source position and do not change to another input source selection.

To obtain the best performance of this unit, set the volume control on the external amplifier to about the halfway position between the min. and max.

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. For connecting two center speakers, follow the method shown below.

CAUTION SEE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR CORRECT SETTING.

On subwoofer connection

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies.

If you use one subwoofer, connect either of the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminals 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 OUTPUT terminal to the INPUT terminal of the amplifier driving a subwoofer, and the other SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal to the INPUT terminal of the amplifier driving the other subwoofer, and then connect each subwoofer to the corresponding amplifier.
