e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any

way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance - this indicates a need for service.

20 Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required,

PREPARATION

Preparation of remote control

Installing batteries in the remote control

1 Take off the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert the four supplied batteries (AAA, R03,

UM-4) according to the polarity markings (+ and –) on the inside of the battery compartment.

3 Snap 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.

30º 30º

a Infrared window

Outputs infrared control signals. Aim this window at the component you want to operate.

• To set the remote control codes for other components, see page 39.

Notes

• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following types of

conditions:

– places of high humidity, such as near a bath – places of high temperature, such as near a heater or stove – places of extremely low temperatures – dusty places

• To set the remote control codes for other components, see page 39.

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.

30˚

60˚

80˚

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.”

■ Before connecting to the SPEAKERS terminal

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the end of each speaker cable and then twist the bare wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.
