SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker placement

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-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

(Interniitioiial Telecommunication 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 ni (6 ft) above
the floor.

Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround
speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back
transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the
listening position and at the same height as the surround
speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in)
apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width
as the front speakers.

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAPIA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass frecjnencies from any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LEE (low­frec[uency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. 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
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward 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 with the full system. Align the front
face of the center speaker with the front face of your video
monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)

Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front
speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA
DSP (see page 55). These effects include sounds that
filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the
screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place
these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m

ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly

(1-3
inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

11

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 eonnections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

• If you will use 4 or 6 ohm speakers, be sure to

set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to
4 ohms before using (see page 22).

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the

power of this unit is off.

• Do not let the bare speaker w ires 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 with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red)
terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the (black) terminals.

10 mm (3/8")

5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

AUTO SETUP

Introduction

This receiver employs YAMAHA Parametric Room
Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you
avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and
achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied
optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound
your speakers produce in your actual listening
environment.

Notes

• Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be
output during the auto setup procedure.

• If auto setup stops and error messages appear on the screen,
follow the troubleshooting on page 28.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes
appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible
sound from your system.

WIRING:
Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of
each speaker.

SIZE:
Checks the speakers frequency response and sets the
crossover/high cut frequency for the .subwoofer to
improve the sound relationship between the speakers and
the subwoofer.

DISTANCE:
Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening
position and adjusts the delay of each channel so that the
sound from each speaker reaches the listening position at
the same time.

EQUALIZING:
Adjusts frequency and levels of each channers parametric
equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and
create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly
important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers
for some channels or have a room with unique sonic
characteristics.
YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three
parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the
seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly
precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

* The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.

- Keep it aw'ay from direct sunlight.

- Do not place it on lop of this unit,

2 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat

level surface with the omni-directional
microphone head upward, at your normal
listening position.

If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer
mic at the same height as your ears would be when
you are seated in your listening position.

record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,
the following considerations and adjustments need to be
made.
For DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player

is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operating
instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from
almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field
proce,ssing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.
Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous
concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.

Tlie YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital. DTS. and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to
AUTO (see page 36) to enable this unit to aulomiiliciilly switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

Notes

• This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations ofreal-w'orld acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in
the actual hall. etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the renections coming from the front, back, left and right.

• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.

For movie/video sources

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI”
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel
(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to select sound field programs, see “Selecting sound field programs” on pages 32 to 35.

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS

\M\\a\ is a sound field

What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument
are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In
addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections
enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size
and shape of the room in which we are sitting.

■ Elements of a sound field

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are
two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to
make up the .sound field:

Early reflections

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms

- 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one
surface only - for example, from the ceiling or a wall.
Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations

These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface - walls, ceiling, the back of the room ~ so
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen
the clarity of the direct sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent
reverberation taken together help us to determine the
subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this
information that the digital sound field processor
reproduces in order to create sound fields.

If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you
would be able to create your own listening environment.
The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a
concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at
all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly
what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field
processor.

Changing parameter settings

You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset
parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial

settings, you can change some of the parameters to better
suit the input source or your listening room.

Use PARAM. INI (see page 71).

Note

You cannot change parameter values when “MEMORY
GUARD" is set to ON. If you want to change the parameter
values, set “MEMORY GUARD" to OFE (see page 70).

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data

from being lost even if this unit is set in the standby
mode, the power cord is di.sconnected from the AC
outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to
power failure. However, if the power is cut for more
than one week, the parameter values will return to the
factory settings. If this happens, edit the parameter
value again.

SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your
listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.

■ DSP LEVEL (DSP level)

Function: Adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range.
Description: Depending on the aeoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP

effect level relative to the level of the direct sound.

Control range: —6 clB to +3 dB

■ INIT. DLY/P. INIT. DLY (Initial delay)

Function: Changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound

and the first reflection heard by the listener.

Description: The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther

it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a large value.

Control range: 1 to 99 msec

Time

Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround

sound field becomes.

Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between

the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the

reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from

one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

m LIVENESS (Liveness)

Function: Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections

decay.

Description: The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall

surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces
is referred to a.s “dead”, w'hile a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The
LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the
room.

■ REV.TIME (Reverberation time)

Function: Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at

1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.

Description: Set a longer reverberation time for ‘‘dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time

for “live” sources and listening room environments.

GLOSSARY

Audio formats

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives
you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3
front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround
stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio
channels. With an additional channel especially for bass
effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has
a total of 5.1 -channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By
using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The
wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum
volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the
precise sound orientation generated using digital sound
proce,ssing provide listeners with previously unheard of
excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up
to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for
your enjoyment.

■ Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output
channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a
matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the
2 in the original recording. For the best results, Dolby
Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks
recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX, With this
additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and
realistic moving sound especially with scenes with
“flyover” and “fly-around” effects.

■ Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software.
This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel
playback with 2 front left and right channels,
channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of
only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology). Music and Game modes are also available for
2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode.

■ Dolby Pro Logic llx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new' technology enabling discrete
multi-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel
sources. There is a Music mode for music, a Movie mode
for movies and a Game mode for games.

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog
(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces
sound within a narrow frequency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as
well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.

■ DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality
for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully
backward-compatible with ail DTS decoders. “96” refers
to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz
sampling rate). “24” refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/
24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master, and 96/24 5.1 -channel sound with full-quality full
motion video for music programs and motion picture
soundtracks on DVD-video.

■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy
the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of
DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces
practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, a
left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus
an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1 ­channels). The unit incorporates DTS-ES decoder that
enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround
back channel to exi,sting 5.1-channel format.

■ Neo:6

Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6
channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables
playback with the full-range channels with higher
separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two
modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music
sources and “Cinema mode” for movies.

Sound field programs

m

CINEMA DSP

Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed
for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room
size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in
the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth of actually
mea.sured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses
YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine
Dolby Pro Logie, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to
provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater
in the listening room of your own home.

■ SILENT CINEMA

YAMAHA has developed a natural, reali,stic sound effect
DSP algorithm for headphones.
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations of all the sound field
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP

YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field
surround effects even without any surround speakers by
using virtual surround speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a
minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center
speaker.

Audio information

m

ITU-R

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R
recommends a standard speaker placement which is used

in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering
purposes.

■ LFE 0.1 channel

This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a

low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.

■ PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per

very small unit of time. Standing for ’'pufse code
modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.

■ Sampling frequency and number of

quantized bits

When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of
times the signal is sampled per second is called the

sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness w hen
converting the sound level into a numeric value is called
the number of quantized bits.
The range of rates that can be played back is determined
based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range
representing the sound level difference is determined by
the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the

sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies
that can be played back, and the higher the number of
quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.

92

Video signal information

■ Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal
is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the Pb
and Pr signals for the chrominance. Color can be
reproduced more faithfully with this system because each
of these signal s is independent. The component signal is
also called the “color difference signal” because the
luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.
A monitor with component input jacks is required in order
to use the component signal for output.

■ Composite video signal

With the composite video signal sy.stem, the video signal
is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;
color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite
video jack on a video component transmits these three
elements combined.

■ S-vIdeo signal

With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally
transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted
as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the
chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the
S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss
and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful
images.
