SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker placement

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITTI-R*
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP
and multi-channel audio sources.
* ITU-R IS the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Telecoimuuiication Union).
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active Serv'o Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass freciuencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LEE (low­frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because lotv bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly tow'ard the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these 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.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel 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 wnth the full system. Align the front
face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally betw'een the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker connections

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and (black) properly. 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
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps ivith a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) temiinals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the (black) terminals.
■ Banana plug connections
First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm {3/8") of
insulation from the end of each speaker cable.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together
to prevent short circuits.
3 Unscrew the knob. 4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

■ Analog jacks
You can input analog signals from audio components by connecting audio pin cable to the analog jacks on this unit. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.
■ 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 compatible rvith 96-kHz sampling digital
signals.
■ Video jacks
This unit has ttvo types of video jacks. Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your monitor.
