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 to ensure even 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 (R)

Rear speaker (R)

Subwoofer

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 sound will be heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NON position.

1.8 m

Rear speaker (L)

■ 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

Please use magnetically shielded speakers. Sometimes a video monitor may be adversely affected even when magnetically shielded speakers are used. Separate the speakers from the monitor if this happens.

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 jacks with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc.

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

The input and output jacks 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 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.

• You can designate the input for each digital jack according to your component by using “3 I/O ASSIGN” in the SET MENU.

HTR-5450 only

•

All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

HTR-5440 only

•

When making connections between the digital signal jacks, you should connect the components to the same-named analog audio signal jacks of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a recording component connected to this unit.

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

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 CD player

• The COAXIAL jack is available for a CD player which has coaxial digital output jack.

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

■ Connecting an MD recorder, CD recorder or tape deck

HTR-5450 only

•

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

HTR-5440 only

•

Connect the analog input/output jack of your recording component to the AUDIO jacks.

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.

HTR-5450 only

•

Since digital output and analog output (REC OUT) are independent of each other, the analog signal is output only to the analog jack, while the digital signal is output only to the digital jack.

Connecting an External Decoder

This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and right MAIN, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from an external decoder, sound processor or pre-amplifier.

Connect the output jacks on your external decoder to the 6CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the main and surround channels.

Notes

• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, this unit

automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot listen to DSP programs.

• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, changing items

of “1 SPEAKER SET” in the SET MENU is not affected (except “MAIN LVL”).
