PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT
The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on
speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in
an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. To eliminate condensation:
Pickup
Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Remote control
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Choose the installation location of this unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of hum such as transformers and electric motors.
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer.
The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the cabinet will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the unit in well-ventilated condition. Make sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on the both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the unit. Otherwise it may not only damage the unit, but also cause fire.

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

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This unit designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4- Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Speaker configuration
(1)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 sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.
Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL position. (For details, refer to page 12.)
(2)4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers, although the program DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5­speaker configuration.
Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 12.)
Note
Be sure to use two rear speakers. If you connect one rear speaker only, sound will not be output from the rear speaker.
Speaker placement
Front speakers: In normal position. Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. six feet) up from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers.

Antenna connection
(1) Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction where the strongest signal can be received.
(2) Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wires to the corresponding terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf etc., or install it on the rack or wall with screws (not supplied).
Notes
When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections (from the upper terminal to the lower terminal, and vice versa).
Do not place the AM loop antenna on the unit. It will result in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital electronics. Place the AM loop antenna away from the unit.
(3) External FM antenna
Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.
(4) External AM antenna
Use an external AM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.
Note
When using an external AM antenna, be sure to keep the wire of the AM loop antenna connected.

CONNECTIONS

FREQUENCY STEP switch (China and General models only)
Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (located at the rear) according to the frequency spacing in your area. Before setting this switch, disconnect the AC supply lead of this unit from the AC outlet.
