FEATURES OF SOUND EFFECTS

Introduction

Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV receivers 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.

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.

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.

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 Surround

Dolby Pro Logic Surround has been used in movie theaters since the mid-seventies. 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 Pro Logic Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround 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.

Dolby Digital

The built-in Dolby Digital decoder leads you into a totally new sound experience.

Dolby Digital is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm-film movies by employing a new kind of low bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to listeners. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus 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 channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

Compared to Dolby Pro Logic, 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.

Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the 5 full-range channels provides listeners with excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by discrete digital sound processing expands the realism that the original movie possesses.

LD and DVD are home audio/video program source 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 Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect of Dolby Digital become the most suitable for your audio system and the listening conditions.

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP

The 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 are very 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 the lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with the Dolby Surround sound system.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA DSP technology.

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 Surround-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 are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

This combination is available when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPORTS sound field program is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with Dolby Digital sound in 2-channel.

Dolby Digital + 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 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 sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPORTS sound field program is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with Dolby Digital sound (except in 2-channel).

SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

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.

Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. 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-decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. When playing back a source using the DSP program,

DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program that is Dolby Digital-decoded, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

Note: Set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the “LARGE” or “SMALL” position. (See page 23 for details.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. When playing back a source using the DSP program, DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/ DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/ DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program that is Dolby Digital-decoded, the center sound is output from the left and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs will be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

Note: Be sure to set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the “NONE” position. (See page 23 for details.)

		Main:	The position of your present stereo speaker
			system.
Main		Rear:	Behind your listening position, facing slightly
speaker (R)
			inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) up from the
Subwoofer			floor.
Center speaker	Rear	Center:	Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid
	speaker (R)		interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
Main			shielded speaker.)
speaker (L)
		Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not as critical,
			because low bass tones are not highly directional.

CONNECTIONS

Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections have been completed.

CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER COMPONENTS

When making connections between this unit and other components, be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each component to be connected to this unit.

*If you have YAMAHA components numbered as !, #, $, etc. on the rear panel, connections can be made easily by making sure to connect the output (or input) terminals of each component to the same-numbered terminals of this unit.

SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S)

U.S.A., Canada, Singapore, China and General models

...........................................................	2 SWITCHED OUTLETS
Australia model .....................................	1 SWITCHED OUTLET

Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit.

The power to the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) is controlled by this unit’s STANDBY/ON or the provided remote control transmitter’s POWER. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on.

The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) is 100 watts.

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (COAXIAL AND/OR OPTICAL) TERMINALS

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.

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 30 for details.)

Notes

•When connecting an audio/video unit to both the digital and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect between 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

•All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

•If your LD player has Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal and not digital signal output, use the RF demodulator (separate purchase).

Main speaker connections

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either of the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

Rear speaker connections

A rear speaker system can be connected to this unit. Place them to the rear of your listening position.

Center speaker connection

A center speaker can be connected to this unit. Place it on or under the TV.

Subwoofer connection

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel.

If you have a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the input terminal of the subwoofer system.

If you have a separate amplifier and subwoofer, connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the input terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and then connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. When the input signals to this unit are for normal 2-channel stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 90 Hz from the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.

Note: The output level of signals from this terminal is adjusted by VOLUME on the front panel or VOLUME ( ) on the remote control transmitter.

How to connect

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 the unit and/or speakers.
