CONNECTIONS

Before connecting speakers

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R* speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX.

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union).

More than 30 cm (12 in)

1.8 m (6 ft)

80˚

SBL

30˚

60˚

SBR

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.

1.8 m (6 ft)

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.

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 YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency 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.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)

Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP (see page 61). 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 (1 – 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

Note

Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the PRIORITY parameter in MANUAL SETUP (see page 77).

■ Di-pole speaker layout

Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please place the surround and surround back speakers according to the speaker layout below.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting speakers

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

• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 29). If you will use 8 ohm speakers, use this unit’s initial setting for speaker impedance.

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is disconnected from the power source.

• 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 speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

Note

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.

PREPARATION

■ Connecting to the speaker terminals

FRONT terminals

Connect one or two speaker systems to these terminals. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either of the FRONT A or B terminals.

Note

The Canada model cannot output to two paris of speaker systems simultaneously.

CENTER terminals

• You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, but they do not output sound simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the PRIORITY parameter in MANUAL SETUP (see page 77).

• The surround back speakers output the surround back channel included in Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES software and operate

only when the Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic x, THX Select2, THX Music, THX Games or THX Surround EX decoder is turned on.

• The presence speakers output ambient effects created by the DSP sound fields. They do not output sound when other sound fields are selected.

Using bi-wire and bi-AMP connections

Some of the speakers commercially available these days have speaker wire connections that allow bi-wiring or biamplification to enhance the performance of the speaker system. This unit allows you to make bi-wire and bi-AMP connections to one speaker system. Check if your speakers support bi-wiring or bi-amplification. As these speakers are shipped to you, you will note gold-plated shorting bars or bridges, one connecting the two red input terminals and the other connecting the two black input terminals. Remove these shorting bars or bridges only if you plan to bi-wire or bi-AMP your speakers.

■ Bi-wire connection

The bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two independent sections. This split connects the mid and high frequency drivers to one set of terminals and the low frequency driver to the other pair.

■ Bi-AMP connection

The bi-AMP connection uses two amplifiers for both speakers. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the combined mid and tweeter section. With this arrangement each amplifier operates over a restricted frequency range. This restricted range presents each amplifier with a much simpler job and each amplifier is less likely to influence the sound in some way. The internal crossover of the speaker consists of a LPF (low pass filter) and a HPF (high pass filter). As its name implies, the LPF passes frequencies below a cutoff and rejects frequencies above the cutoff frequency. Likewise, the HPF passes frequencies above its cutoff.

Notes

• Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.

• To activate the bi-AMP connections, set BI-AMP to ON in ADVANCED SETUP (see page 89).

• To make the bi-AMP connections, use the FRONT and SURROUND BACK terminals as shown below.

–

Notes

• Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.

• To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A on the front panel so that SP A lights up in the front panel display.

If you set INPUT CH to 8ch in MULTI CH SET (see page 82), you can use the input jacks assigned as FRONT in MULTI CH SET (see page 82) together with the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to input 8-channel signals. Connect the output jacks on your multi-format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.

Notes

• When you select MULTI CH INPUT as the input source, this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.

• This unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We recommend that you connect at least a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.

• When headphones are used, only front L/R channels are output.

■ Connecting to the VIDEO AUX jacks on the front panel

Use these jacks to connect any video source, such as a game console or video camera, to this unit.

Notes

• Check the availability of jacks on your audio components and select one type of connection for audio/video input/output.

• PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to these jacks.

• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However you may hear less noise without the connection to the GND terminal for some record players.

CONNECTIONS

■ Connecting an external amplifier

If you want to increase the power output to the speakers, or want to use another amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks as follows.

Notes

• When audio pin plugs are connected to the PRE OUT jacks for output to an external amplifier, it is not necessary to use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. Set the volume of the external amplifier connected to this unit to the maximum.

• The signal output at the FRONT PRE OUT and CENTER PRE OUT jacks are affected by the TONE CONTROL settings.

• If SPEAKERS A is turned off and SPEAKERS B is set to ZONE B (see page 85), signals will only be output at the FRONT PRE OUT jacks.

Notes

• Each PRE OUT jack outputs the same channel signal as the corresponding speaker terminals. However, when both surround back and presence speakers are setup in this unit, the signals output at SURROUND BACK/PRESENCE PRE OUT jacks may not correspond to the correct speakers.

• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer.

• Some signals may not be output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack depending on the SPEAKER SET settings (see page 76).
