SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker placement

Since CINEMA DSP and THX are different surround post-processing technologies, we recommend the following speaker setup in order to enjoy the best surround sound of each technology.

■ CINEMA DSP speaker layout

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it.

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

30˚

60˚

80˚

SBL

more than 30 cm (12 in.)

SBR

The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R speaker setup. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX.

1.8 m (6 ft)

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound. Place these 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.

Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the listening position and at the same height as the surround speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in.) apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width as the front speakers.

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. 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 front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)

Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP (see page 38). These effects include sounds that filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

Page 15

SPEAKER SETUP

■ Di-pole speaker layout

Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please place the surround and surround back speakers according to the speaker layout below.

: Di-pole speaker

: Direction of di-pole speaker

SBL

SBR

Speaker connections

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

CAUTION

• If you intend to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 28).

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit’s power is off.

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

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

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

10 mm (3/8")

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together

to prevent short circuits.

3 Unscrew the knob.

The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for screwing or unscrewing knobs.

4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

Banana plug connections

(With the exception of U.K. and Europe models) First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

SPEAKER SETUP

■ FRONT terminals

Connect one or two speaker systems to these terminals. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either of the FRONT A or B terminals.

Note

The Canada model cannot output to two separate speaker systems simultaneously.

Bi-wired connection

The unit also allows you to make bi-wired connections to one speaker system. Use two pairs of speaker cables for each speaker (one pair for the woofer and one pair for the tweeter/mid-range). To use the bi-wired connections, press SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B on the front panel so that both SP A and B light up on the front panel display.

Bi-wired connection

■ PRESENCE/ZONE 2 terminals

Connect presence speakers to these terminals. You can also use these terminals for connecting Zone 2 speakers (see page 94).

Note

The presence speakers output ambient effects created by the DSP sound fields. They do not output sound when other sound fields are selected.

AUTO SETUP

Introduction

This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening environment.

Notes

• Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output during the auto setup procedure.

• If auto setup stops and an error message(s) appear on the GUI display, follow the troubleshooting on page 35.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system.

Wiring

Checks the polarity of each speaker.

Equalizing

Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique sonic characteristics. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (Frequency, Level and Q factor) for each of the 10 bands in its parametric equalizer (plus 5 subwoofer bands) to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

Level

Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each speaker.

To record audio and video from different sources, set REC OUT/ ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE, select a video source first, then select an audio source (see page 39).

Notes

• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.

• The setting of TONE CONTROL, VOLUME, “Speaker Level” (page 69) and programs does not affect the recorded material.

• A source connected to this unit’s MULTI CH INPUT jacks cannot be recorded.

• S video and composite video signals pass independently through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source component is connected to provide only an S video (or composite video) signal, you can record only an S video (or composite video) signal to your VCR.

• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on VCR 1 OUT.)

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

• Dolby Digital RF signals are not output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

• Signals input through an i.LINK connection are only output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks when REC OUT/ZONE 2 is set to SOURCE/REMOTE (priority is given to input signals from the OPTICAL and COAXIAL jacks).

• Audio signals from CD or DVD video discs input through an i.LINK connection are only output if they come un-encrypted from the playback device. In other words, copy-protected signals input through an i.LINK connection will not be output to the REC OUT jacks.

If you play back a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.

After making this setting, you can change the source you are listening to and/or watching without affecting the recording by rotating INPUT (or pressing one of the input selector buttons on the remote control).

Note

The source you record and the source in Zone 2 are always identical.

■ Special considerations when recording DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal is output from the player.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

In addition to controlling this unit, the remote control can also operate other A/V components made by YAMAHA and other manufacturers. To control other components, you must set up the remote control with the appropriate manufacturer code(s). This remote control also has two other sophisticated features: learn and macro. The learn feature (LEARN) allows the remote to acquire functions from other remote controls equipped with an infrared remote control transmitter. The macro feature (MACRO) allows you to program a series of operations in sequence for single-button operation, or use the factory-set macros to operate other YAMAHA components.

Notes

• The supplied remote control does not contain all possible manufacturer codes for commercially available AV components (including YAMAHA AV components). If operation is not possible with any of the manufacturer codes, program the new remote control function with the Learn feature (see below) or use the remote control supplied with the component.

• If you have already programmed a remote control function for a button, the function by learning programming takes priority over the setup manufacturer code function.

• “ERROR” appears in the display window if you press a button not indicated in the respective step, or when you press more than one button at the same time.

Programming codes from other remote controls

If you want to program functions not included in the basic operations covered by the manufacturer code, or an appropriate manufacturer code is not available, do the following. You can program any of the buttons available in the component control area (see page 80). The buttons can be programmed independently for each component.

Note

This remote control transmits infrared rays. If the other remote control also uses infrared rays, this remote control can learn most of its functions. However, you may not be able to program some special signals or extremely long transmissions. (Refer to the operating instructions for the remote control of your component.)

3 Place this remote control about 5 to 10 cm

away from the remote control for your component on a flat surface so that their infrared transmitters are aimed at each other.

5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in.)

■ Special considerations for DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second room you will only hear digital noise (that may damage your speakers). Thus, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made when playing DTS encoded discs.

For LDs or DVDs encoded with DTS

Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the second/third room.

• for LDs: Set your LD player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.

• for DVDs: Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

For CDs encoded in DTS

To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

USING I.LINK

USING i.LINK

This unit is fitted with two i.LINK (AUDIO) connectors. By connecting components that support i.LINK (AUDIO) connections, in addition to digital transmission of 2-ch linear PCM signals and audio signals that have been compressed in multi-channel format, you can also send and receive uncompressed multi-channel audio signals, such as DVD audio and Super Audio CD signals for which digital transmission was not previously possible.

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a high-speed and bi-directional digital interface in compliance with the IEEE1394 international standard.

• This unit supports i.LINK (AUDIO) for digital transmission of conventional 2-channel PCM signals and compressed multi-channel audio signals, as well as DVD audio (multi-channel PCM) and Super Audio CD (DSD) multi-channel audio signals using a single IEEE1394 cable connected from an i-LINK (AUDIO)compatible component.

• The i.LINK transmission format supports the A&M Protocol (Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol).

• i.LINK supports transmission speeds up to S400.

• Because i.LINK supports DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection), digital audio signals can be transmitted without any degradation in signal quality.

This unit’s i.LINK interface was based on the following design standards:

• IEEE Std 1394a-2000 (Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus)

• Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.0 This unit’s i.LINK interface supports the following AM824 sequence adaptation layers: IEC60958 bitstream, DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD.

Connecting i.LINK components

You can connect i.LINK-compatible devices to this unit using either the daisy chain or tree connections.

■ Daisy chain connections

Use to link components together in a single chain. You can link up to 17 different components (including this unit) with this method.

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

■ Tree connections

Use to link components in a branched configuration when 3 or more i.LINK connectors are available. You can link up to 63 different components (including this unit) with this method.

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

• When making connections, use a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable that supports the S400 transmission speed. We also recommend using a cable less than 3.0 m (12 ft) in length.

• This unit supports hot plugging, a function that allows you to disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable while the power is turned on.

Notes

• The system will not work if components are connected in a loop (where the output signal is returned to the original component). When connecting multiple i.LINK components, be sure not to connect them in a loop. If a loop connection is detected, the message “Loop Connection” is displayed on this unit’s front panel display. If this happens, disconnect the IEEE1394 cable, and use a recommended connection method.

• Do not disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable from this unit or other i.LINK components while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.

• When connecting the IEEE1394 cable to this unit’s i.LINK connectors, be sure to confirm the orientation of the connector before connecting the cable. Using excessive force to connect the cable to the connector in the wrong orientation will damage the connector.

USING i.LINK

Assigning i.LINK components

When an i.LINK component is connected, this unit automatically recognizes the connection and registers the connected component. Registered i.LINK components, such as CD or DVD players, can be assigned to a specific input. Assigning an i.LINK component to a specific input allows you to select the video input signals from that component together with the audio signals received via the i.LINK connection for simultaneous playback.

Notes

• If you connect an i.LINK component that does not support i.LINK (AUDIO), or an i.LINK component that does not support audio signal transmission, the connected component will be registered with this unit, but cannot be assigned to a specific input.

• i.LINK components without a vendor or model name, such as IEEE1394 repeater/hub, are not registered.
