UM-4) according to the polarity markings (+
and –) on the inside of the battery
compartment.
3Snap the battery compartment cover back
into place.
Notes
• Change all of the batteries if you notice the following conditions:
– the operation range of the remote control decreases.
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and
manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as
these different types of batteries may have the same shape and
color.
• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid
touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before
installing new batteries.
• Do not throw away batteries with general house waste; dispose of
them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.
• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 2 minutes,
or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote control, the contents
of the memory may be cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert
new batteries and set up the remote control code.
Using the remote control
The remote control transmits a directional infrared ray.
Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote
control sensor on this unit during operation.

Placing speakers
The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we
recommend. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and
multi-channel audio sources.

Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers at 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.
Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds.
Subwoofer (SW)
The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, 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 sound
reproduction of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel
included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. 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.

Connecting speakers
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),
“+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, this unit cannot reproduce the input sources
accurately.
Caution
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on
the rear panel of this unit.
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this
the AC power plug is disconnected from the AC wall
outlet.
• Do not let the bare speakers 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.
• If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set “SP
IMP.” to “6ΩMIN” before using this unit. See
page 40 for details on setting “SP IMP.”

Using Bluetooth™ components
You can connect a Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver (such as YBA-10, sold separately) to the DOCK terminal of this
unit and enjoy the music contents stored in your Bluetooth component (such as a portable music player) without wiring
between this unit and the Bluetooth component. You need to perform “pairing” for the connected Bluetooth receiver and
your Bluetooth component in advance.
Pairing the Bluetooth™ receiver and
your Bluetooth™ component
Pairing must be performed when you use a Bluetooth
component with the Bluetooth receiver connected to this
unit for the first time or if the pairing data has been
deleted. “Pairing” refers to the operation of registering a
Bluetooth component for Bluetooth communications.
y
• You need to perform the pairing operation only when you use the
Bluetooth component with the Bluetooth receiver for the first time.
• You need to perform the pairing operations both on this unit and on the
Bluetooth component. If necessary, refer to operating instructions of the
Bluetooth component.
There are two pairing methods: pairing by using “START
PAIRING” in “SET MENU” and quick pairing.
■ Pairing by using “SET MENU”
Use this feature to perform pairing of this unit and the
video monitor. Select “START PAIRING” in “INPUT
MENU.” See page 36 for details.
■ Quick pairing
To ensure security, a time limit of 8 minutes is set for
the pairing operation. You are recommended to read
and fully understand all the instructions before starting.
1Press hAMP and then press NINPUT l /
h repeatedly (or press fV-AUX/DOCK) to
select “V-AUX” as the input source.
5Select the Bluetooth receiver in the
Bluetooth device list and then enter the pass
key “0000” to the Bluetooth component.
When the pairing is completed successfully,
“Completed” appears on the front panel display.
Note
• The Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver can be paired with up to eight
other components. When pairing is conducted successfully with a ninth
component and the pairing data is registered, the pairing data for the least
recently used other component is cleared.
Playback of the Bluetooth™
component
1Press hAMP and then press NINPUT l /
h repeatedly (or press fV-AUX/DOCK) to
select “V-AUX” as the input source.
2Start playback of your Bluetooth component.
When the connected Bluetooth receiver detects the
Bluetooth component, “BT connected” and the
DOCK indicator appears on the front panel display.
y
• When you press lENTER on the remote control, the connected
Bluetooth receiver searches and connect to the last connected Bluetooth
component. If the Bluetooth receiver cannot find the Bluetooth
component, “Not found” appears on the front panel display.
• To disconnect the Bluetooth receiver from the Bluetooth component,
press nRETURN.
2Turn on the Bluetooth component you want
to pair with.
3Press and hold GBAND (or jBAND LEVEL
TITLE) for 3 seconds.
Once the Bluetooth receiver starts pairing,
“Searching...” appears for a moment. While the
Bluetooth receiver is in the pairing mode, DOCK
indicator flashes on the front panel display.

Glossary
■ Audio information
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you
completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels
(front L/R and center), 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 processing
provide listeners with unprecedented 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 Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast
numbers of existing Dolby Surround sources. This new technology
enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front left and right
channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels
instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music
sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources and “Game mode” for
game sources.
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 Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks
of movies with a 5.1-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly
gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. DTS, 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 5.1channel sound (technically, left, right and center channels, 2 surround
channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1channels).
LFE 0.1 channel
This channel reproduces low-frequency bass signals. The frequency
range of this channel is from 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 channels in Dolby Digital or DTS
5.1-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 “Pulse 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 when 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.
■ Sound field program information
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 designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions,
such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in the sound
heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, Yamaha
CINEMA DSP uses Yamaha original DSP technology to combine
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the
audiovisual experience of movie theater in the listening room of your
own ho me.
SILENT CINEMA
Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm
for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each
sound field program 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 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.
■ Video 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 signals 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 output component
signals.
Composite video signal
With the composite video signal system, 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.
