CONNECTIONS

Connecting the speakers

■ Speakers

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound­field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main left and
right speakers, rear left and right 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 effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers
from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are
used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is
for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).

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 the
models of equivalent performance with the main
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 Dolby Digital or DTS signals. 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.

Center speaker

Main
speaker (L)

Main speakers

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

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.

Rear speakers

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

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because
low bass sounds are not highly directional. However, it is
better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers.
Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce
wall reflections.

Main speaker (R)

Rear speaker (R)

Subwoofer

1.8 m (6 feet)

Note

• If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center),
change the settings of “SOUND 1 SPEAKER SET” items at
the set menu to direct signals to other terminals you have
connected speakers to.

CAUTION

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers
still create interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.

CONNECTIONS

■ Connections

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) in accordance with the markers on
this unit, the speakers, and the speaker cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers,
and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/

or the speakers.

differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable

together to prevent short circuits.

1 Unscrew the knob.
2 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

SUBWOOFER jack

When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System,
connect the input jack of the subwoofer system to this jack. This unit will direct low bass signals distributed from the
main, center and/or rear channels to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections. The LFE (low­frequency effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also directed to this jack in accordance
with your SPEAKER SET selections.

Notes

• The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.

• If you do not use a subwoofer, allocate the signals to the main left and right speakers by changing the setting of “SOUND 1
SPEAKER SET” item “1D BASS” on the set menu to MAIN.

• Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level. You can also adjust the volume level by using this unit’s remote control
(see “SETTING THE SPEAKER LEVELS” on page 46).

Input mode

AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is selected

automatically as follows:

1) Digital signal

2) Analog signal

DTS: In this mode, only digital input signals

encoded with DTS are selected, even if the
unit is receiving another signal
simultaneously.

ANALOG: In this mode, only analog input signals are

selected, even the unit is receiving digital
signals at the same time.

Notes

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

• When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on
some LD or DVD players, there is a delay in sound output for
a moment when playback resumes after a search, because the
unit must select the digital signal again.

• When playing a LD source that has not been digitally
recorded, the unit may not output any sound for some LD
players. In this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.

■ Notes on digital signals

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96 kHz
sampling digital signals. Note the following when a
digital signal with a sampling frequency greater than 48
kHz is input to this unit:

• You cannot use any DSP programs.

• The unit will output sound as 2-channel stereo from the

main left and right speakers only. Therefore, you
cannot adjust the level of the effect speakers while
listening to such a source.

■ Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs

• If the digital output data of the player has been
processed in any way, the unit may not be able to
perform DTS decoding even if there is 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, the unit may reproduce
the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case,
connect the source to a digital input jack on this unit
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, the unit
does not output any sound.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with
the input mode set to AUTO;
– The unit automatically switches to the DTS-

decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up)
after detecting the DTS signal. When playback of
the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator
may flash. While this indicator is flashing, the unit
can only reproduce DTS source. If you want to play
a normal PCM source immediately, change the input
mode back to AUTO.

– When the input mode is set to AUTO and a search

or skip operation is performed during playback of a
DTS source, the “t” indicator may flash. If this
state continues for longer than 30 seconds, the unit
will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding”
mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t”
indicator will turn off.

format and not all sub-programs can be used with all input
signal formats.

• You cannot use the digital sound field processor with a source
connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit or when the
unit is reproducing a digital source with a sampling frequency
greater than 48 kHz.

• 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 standby mode, it stores the current
source and DSP program in memory and automatically selects
them when you turn on the power again.

• If the unit receives a Dolby Digital or DTS signal when the
input mode is set to AUTO, the DSP program (No. 7–9)
automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program.

• When the unit is reproducing a monaural source with PRO
LOGIC or PRO LOGIC/Enhanced, or PRO LOGIC II Movie,
no sound is output from the main and rear speakers. Sound can
only be heard from the center speaker. (If “1A CENTER” on
the set menu is set to NON, the center channel sound is output
