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.

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 fiberoptic 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 with 96-kHz sampling digital
signals.
Note
This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus
audio signals input to Ihe analog jacks are only oulput lo the
analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input lo the
digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output to the
DIGITAL OUTPUT jack.
VIDEO jacks
For conventional composite video signals.
S VIDEO jacks
For S-Video signals, separated into luminance (Y) and
color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color
reproduction.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
For component signals, separated into luminance (Y) and
color difference (Pb, Pr) to provide the best quality in
picture reproduction.
When signals are input through both the S VIDEO and VIDEO
jacks, signals input through the ,S VIDEO jack have priority.

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.

LEVEL:
Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each
speaker.
