■ Notes on batteries

• Change the batteries periodically.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline

and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.

Quick Reference Card

■ Changing batteries

As the batteries lose power, the operating range of the remote control decreases and the indicator does not flash or its light becomes dim. When you notice any of these conditions, change all of the batteries.

If the remote control is without batteries for more than 2 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote control, the contents of the memory may be cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert new batteries, set up the manufacturer code and program any acquired functions that may have been cleared.

PREPARATION

Speakers to Be Used

SPEAKER SETUP

INTRODUCTION

Speaker Placement

This unit has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with a 5-speaker system, using left and right main speakers, left and right 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 manufacturer 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 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. 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 the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Main speaker (L)

Center speaker

Main speaker (R)

Rear speaker (R)

Subwoofer

1.8 m

Rear speaker (L)

■ Main speakers

Place the left and right main 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.

■ 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 video 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 left and right main speakers. In this case, “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to NONE (see page 38 for details).

■ 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 video monitor. If this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker or subwoofer near the video monitor, use a magnetically shielded speaker.

CONNECTIONS

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 jack names. Refer to the operation 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 them to the jack with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products.

• After you have completed all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

Connecting Audio Components

■ Connecting to digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals (see page 25 for details).

• You can designate the input for each digital jacks according to

your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page 41 for details).

About the dust protection cap

Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.

Note

• The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard.

If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard, this unit may not function properly.

■ Connecting a turntable

PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge, use an inline boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to these jacks.

• The GND terminal does not electrically ground the turntable. It

simply reduces noise in the signal. In some cases, you may hear less noise if you do not connect to the GND terminal.

■ Connecting a CD player

• The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a CD player which has coaxial or optical digital output jacks.

• When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL CD jack.

■ Connecting an MD recorder, tape

deck or CD recorder

• Only digital signals input from a source such as a CD or DVD are output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

• When you connect your recording component to both the analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given to the digital signal.

• You can connect an MD recorder to any digital input jack by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page 41).

Notes

• When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other components.

• When you record from a source component connected to this unit while this unit is set in the standby mode, the recorded sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn on this unit.

Connecting Video Components

■ About the video jacks

There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composit video signals. Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals achieve high-quality color reproduction. Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P into three for each signal. The description of the component video jacks may be different depending on the component (e.g. Y, C

, CR/Y, PB, PR/Y, B-Y, R-Y etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction.

If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can connect it to this unit. Connect the S-video signal output jack on your video component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jacks on your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

Input Modes and Indications

This unit comes with various input jacks. If your component is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set the priority of the input signal.

When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set according to “8 INPUT MODE” on the SET MENU (see page 41 for details).

AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is

automatically selected in the following order:

1) Dolby Digital or DTS signal

2) Digital (PCM) signal

3) Analog signal

DTS: In this mode, only the digital input signal

encoded with DTS is selected even if another signal is input at the same time.

ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal is

selected even if a digital signal is input at the same time.

Notes

• If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack is selected.

• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and reproduces 5.1 channel source.

• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is performed while playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, and then disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal was selected again.

Press INPUT MODE (or the input selector button that you have pressed to select the input source on the remote control) repeatedly until the desired input mode is shown on the front panel display and on the video monitor.

■ Notes on playing a source encoded with a DTS signal

• 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 a source encoded with a DTS signal and

set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.

• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while

playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and

set the input mode to AUTO, there will be a moment of noise while the unit recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction. You can avoid this by setting the input mode to DTS beforehand.

• If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS

signal 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 front panel display.) The “t” indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with a DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a DTS signal 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.

• 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 a DTS signal. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from the “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.

■ Notes on playing an LD source

• For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode to AUTO or ANALOG.

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

• Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input mode as necessary.

• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with a Dolby Digital signal, 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 signal is played.

Notes

• Choose a DSP program based on your listening preference, and not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your listening room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the program.

• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last DSP program used with that source.

• When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current source and DSP program are memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again.

• If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode is set to AUTO, the DSP program automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program.

• When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/ Normal or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED, no sound will be heard from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. However, if “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to NONE, the center channel sound is output from the main speakers.

• When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit is selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.

• When 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit, the DSP program cannot be selected. In this case, the sound is reproduced as normal 2-channel stereo.

3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)

on the source component.

4 Start recording on the recording component.

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 BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, VOLUME, “3 L/R BALANCE” on the SET MENU and DSP programs does not affect the recorded material.

• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit 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 only a composite video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal by 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.

If you playback 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.

■ 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

Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be recorded as follows:

• LDs

Set your LD player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.

• 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.

• CDs

The DTS signal recorded on CDs can only be output as a digital bitstream, and therefore cannot be recorded.
