PREPARATION

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. 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 manufacture 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.). 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 highperformance 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. 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 playing back a source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Main speaker (L)

Center speaker

■ Main speakers

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

■ Rear speakers

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

■ Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your TV 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.

Note

• If the center speaker is not used, the center channel sound will be heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 36 for details.)

TION APPENDIX

■ 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.

CAUTION

Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically shielded speakers.

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been completed.

Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each component to be connected to this unit.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products.

Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.

The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

Yellow video signals (composite)

White analog audio signals for the left channel

Red analog audio signals for the right channel

coaxial digital signals

After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting the Antennas

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality.

Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.

■ Indoor FM antenna (included)

Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The

PLAYING A SOURCE

■ Notes on playing a source

encoded with DTS

• If “DATA ERROR” appears on the display while playing an LD source encoded with DTS, stop playback and turn the player off and then on again.

• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you make a digital connection between this unit and the player.

• If you play an LD source encoded with DTS and set the input mode to ANALOG, there will be the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to the digital input terminal and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.

• If you play a source encoded with DTS and set the input mode to AUTO, there will be a short noise at first while the unit recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction, and can be avoided by setting the input mode to DTS beforehand. In addition, if you continue to play a source encoded with DTS with the input mode setting left to AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the “DTS-decoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation. (The “t” indicator lights up on the display.) The “t” indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with DTS has finished. Only a source encoded with DTS can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

■ Notes on playing an LD source

• Some audio/video components, such as an LD player, output different audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. Change the input mode as necessary.

• If the input mode is set to AUTO for the LD source, this unit automatically determines which type of signal the LD source contains. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and reproduces 5.1 channel sound.

• If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

• If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog terminals and set the input mode to AUTO or ANALOG.

• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital, if you switch from the pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital sound is played.

■ Notes on the digital signal

The digital input terminal of this unit can also handle 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals. (To utilize this, use a source that supports 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals and set the player for digital output. Refer to the instructions for the player.) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signal is input to this unit.

1. The following indicator will appear on the display.

2. DSP programs cannot be selected. Sound will be output

as normal 2-channel stereo sound using only the right and left main speakers.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theaterlike experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to).

When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) is turned on according to which type of signals the source being played contains.

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital re-creations of actual acoustic environments.

• The input source given in the following table for programs 4 through 8 indicates that input source which each program is best suited for.

• Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.

Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The data for the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence, so the threedimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data for the sound field of a concert hall on the surround sound field, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with strong presence.

This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track film, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The front presence of the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

Description of Each Item

1. CENTER SP

Choices: LRG (Large)/SML (Small)/NONE Preset position: LRG (Large)

LRG (Large)

Select this position if your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers. In this position, fullrange signals on the center channel are directed to the center speaker.

SML (Small)

Select this position if you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position).

NONE

Select this position if you do not have a center speaker (4-speaker system). In this position, full-range signals on the center channel are directed to the right and left main speakers.

2. REAR SP

Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE

LARGE

Select this position if your rear speakers have high ability for bass reproduction, or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel to the rear speaker. In this position, full-range signals on the rear channels are directed to the rear speakers.

SMALL

Select this position if your rear speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position).

3. MAIN SP

Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE

LARGE

Select this position if your main speakers have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, full-range signals on the main channels are directed to the right and left main speakers.

SMALL

Select this position if your main speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “BASS OUT” is set to the SW position.

4. BASS OUT

Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH Preset position: BOTH

SW/BOTH

Select either the SW or BOTH position if your system includes a subwoofer. In either position, signals on the LFE channel and low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center and rear channels are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “CENTER SP” is set to the SML or NONE position and “REAR SP” is set to the SMALL position. In the SW position, low bass signals on the main channels are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “MAIN SP” is set to the SMALL position. In the BOTH position, low bass signals on the main channels are directed to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

Note

• When playing a 2-channel source (tape, MD, CD, video cassette etc.), select the BOTH position to direct low bass signals (below 90 Hz) to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

MAIN

Select this position if your system does not include a subwoofer. In this position, besides full-range signals on the main channels, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals (below 90 Hz) that are distributed from other channels are directed to the right and left main speakers.

SET MENU

5. MAIN LVL

Choices: NORM (Normal)/–10 dB Preset position: NORM (Normal)

NORM (Normal)

Normally select this position.

–10 dB

Select this position if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.

Notes

• The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and “BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.

• Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do not have to change any settings unless your speaker system is modified.

6. D.D. LFE (Adjusting the output

level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps) Preset value: 0 dB

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contains LFE signals.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

7. D-RANGE (Adjusting the dynamic range)

Choices: MAX/STD (Standard)/MIN Preset position: MAX

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded.

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending on the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However, at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noise in your environment. Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the sound data.

MAX

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard)

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source that is suitable for low-level listening.

MIN

In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source at a low level.

Note

• It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally

depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position.

• This adjustment is effective only when DTS is being decoded and

the selected source encoded with DTS contains LFE signals.

9. CNTR DELAY (Adjusting the delay of the sound from the center speaker)

Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms steps) Preset value: 0 ms

This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main channels) and dialog, etc. (on the center channel). The larger the value, the later the dialog, etc. is generated.

This makes sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the right and left main speaker to your listening position.

Notes

• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back the source must be connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter is being used without using a DTS decoder, only a loud hissing noise will be heard when you play back the source.

• The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a source encoded with DTS. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from DTS-decoding mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.

GLOSSARY

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround 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 Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic 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

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and 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 is called the “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total. The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before.

■ CINEMA DSP

The Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital sound and DTS systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater. However, YAMAHA DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround sounds. The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS.

CINEMA DSP

■ LFE 0.1 Channel

This channel is for reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is called the channel 0.1 because it only reproduces a low frequency range compared to the full-range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz that is reproduced by the 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel system.

ADV ANCED OPERA

■ DTS (Digital Theater System)

Digital Surround

DTS was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and it is now installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio. DTS technology, through intense research and development has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it is 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as “0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems.

■ S VIDEO Signal

The S VIDEO signal is separated and transmitted as the Y signal which indicates the luminance and the C signal which indicates the chroma of the video signal (composite signal). Using the S VIDEO terminal eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images.
