Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV receiver available. Some of the more advanced features may not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in theaters around the world.

To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.

Digital Sound Field Processing

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created using data measured directly at the original venue; others are created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes.

Of course, that only solves half of the problem. These engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your listening room, so we’ve made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following surround sound technologies. Some are designed especially for music, and some especially for movies.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Dolby Pro Logic Surround has been used in movie theaters since the mid-seventies. It has also been available in home entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.

Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Pro Logic Surround encoding as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.

Introduction

What’s DSP?

INTRODUCTION

English

Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound system developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the “subwoofer channel” or “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system (left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels.

By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo Digital theater sound in your home. Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full range channels and precise sound orientation by the digital sound processing presents listeners much excitement and realism that has never been experienced before.

Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, and moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2 channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2 channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby Digital in the market.

Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio.

The DTS technology, through intense research and development, made it possible to deliver a similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surroundsound entertainment. The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically

5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as “0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems

The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the six channels of 20-bit audio onto some laserdiscs, compact discs and DVDs with considerably less data-compression.

By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS installed theater’s high quality sound in your home.

Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD are home audio format within which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting new multi-channel music recordings will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surrounddecoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the room, letting you feel much presence as if you were watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 2, 3 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of No. 1 is selected, and the input signal of the source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channels.

Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and much surround effect in the room without losing high channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This is the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 2, 3 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 1 is selected, and the input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (except in 2channels) or encoded with the DTS.

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP

The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater.

However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround sounds.

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround or DTS.

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full five-speaker system setup, using a pair of main speakers to output main source sounds, a pair of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a fivespeaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to the fivespeaker system later.

Use of the center dialog speaker is recommended

When playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or playing back a source which contains center-channel signals with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance of your Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended that you use a center channel speaker.

If, for some reason, it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is possible to enjoy the movie without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing signals at the subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

Speaker setup

m Speakers and speaker placement

Your full five-speaker system will require two speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers) and the REAR SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a SUBWOOFER.

The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models and have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN SPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high performance models that can reproduce sounds in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER and REAR SPEAKERS.

Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the ordinary position. Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly 1.8m above the floor. Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.) If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

5 Speaker System

The recommended system for enjoying Audio/Video sources.

By the use of a center speaker, center channel sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized.

1. CENTER SPEAKER—Set to “LRG” or “SML”. (See page 27.)

4 Speaker System

Basic system.

You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding a pair of rear speakers to a basic stereo speaker system. However, center channel sounds must be output from the left and right main speakers.

1. CENTER SPEAKER—Set to “NONE”. (See page 27.)

Notes

●

When you connect an audio/video unit to both of the digital and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to both terminals of the same name.

●

Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from dust.

●

In order to make this unit perform successful DTS-decoding, the DTS bitstream must not be altered, manipulated or corrupted in the process of sending the DTS bitstream from the DIGITAL OUT terminal of an external unit to a digital signal input terminal of this unit.

●

All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

m Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals

If your CD player, LD player, DVD player, TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL, or both terminals.

Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are necessary, especially for an LD player, a DVD player or a CD player to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to this unit.

To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an external unit, remove the cover from each optical terminal, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.

Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 36 for details.)

m Connecting to DOLBY DIGITAL RF output of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player

PREPARATION

If your DVD/LD/CD combi-player has a DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal, it can be connected to this unit by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase). First, connect the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal input terminal of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the coaxial digital signal output terminal of the RF demodulator to the COAXIAL digital signal input terminal of this unit. This connection is necessary for sending audio signals of an LD source encoded with Dolby Digital to this unit.

It is also necessary to connect the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to this unit’s analog audio signal input terminals regardless of the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal connection. This is for playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).

You must also connect the optical digital signal output terminal of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the OPTICAL DVD/LD digital signal input terminal of this unit. This connection is necessary for playing back a DVD source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, and playing back an LD source with DTS decoded.

When these connections are completed, set the input mode of the DVD/LD source to “AUTO”, and you will hear sounds decoded with Dolby Digital even if signals are input to both COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital signal input terminals of this unit. This is because signals input to the COAXIAL terminal take priority over signals input to the OPTICAL terminal. Refer to page 36 for details about switching the input mode.

Notes

●

If, for example, you play a CD on the DVD/LD/CD combiplayer, there is no input to the COAXIAL terminal, so the signals input to the OPTICAL terminal take priority. In this case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound without interference. However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.

●

When you want to play an LD source encoded with Dolby Digital without decoding Dolby Digital, you must switch off the power of the RF demodulator.

The speaker connections described on page 20 are fine for most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to drive main, center and/or rear speakers with your existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.

1 MAIN terminals

These terminals are for main channel line output. If you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. * Output signals from the MAIN terminals are affected by

the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls, BASS EXTENSION button and the TONE BYPASS button.

2 SUBWOOFER terminal

When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to this terminal. Low frequencies distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels are output from this terminal. (The cut-off frequency of this terminal is 90 Hz.) Signals of LFE (low frequency effect) generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also output if they are assigned to this terminal.

3 CENTER terminal

This terminal is for center channel line output. If you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal. There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier.

4 REAR (SURROUND) terminals

These terminals are for rear channel line output. If you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

Notes

•

Output level of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or VOLUME keys on the remote controller.

•

If an external power amplifier is connected to the MAIN, CENTER, or REAR output terminals, do not use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals (MAIN, CENTER, or REAR).

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good ground. A good ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

m Optional outdoor FM antenna

Consult your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the flat ribbon cable is also important. Flat ribbon cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as flat ribbon cable. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with this type of cable.

* Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a

75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.

Notes for FM antenna installation

●

To minimize the influence of automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.

●

Keep the flat ribbon cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up an excess of the cable.

Choices: LARGE (LRG)/SMALL (SML)/NONE Preset position: LRG

LRG: When your center speaker is approximately the same

size as the main speakers.

SML: When you use a center speaker that is smaller than

the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the center channel are output from the SUBWOOFER terminals (or the main speakers if the MAIN position is selected on “4. LFE/BASS OUT”).

NONE: When you do not have a center speaker.

The center channel sound will be output from the left and right main speakers.

2. REAR SPEAKER

Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: If your rear speakers have a high ability for bass

reproduction, or a subwoofer is connected to the rear speaker in parallel. In this position, full range signals are output from the rear speakers.

SMALL: If your rear speakers do not have a high ability for

bass reproduction. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the rear channels are output from the SUBWOOFER terminals (or the main speakers if the MAIN position is selected on “4. LFE/BASS OUT”).

Notes

●

Once you have completed these adjustments, you can adjust the sound level on your audio system by using the VOLUME control (or the VOLUME keys on the remote controller) only.

●

If you use external power amplifiers, you may also use their volume controls to obtain proper balance.

●

If the function “1. CENTER SPEAKER” in the SET MENU mode is set in the “NONE” position, in step 10, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the center sound is automatically output from the left and right main speakers.

●

If there is insufficient sound output from the center and rear speakers, you may decrease the main speaker output level by setting the function “5. MAIN LEVEL” in the SET MENU mode in the “–10dB” position.

This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources that send two or more types of signals to this unit. The following three input modes are provided.

AUTO

This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power of this unit. In this mode, input signal is automatically selected by the following order of priority.

1. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, or normal digital input signals (PCM)

2. Analog input signal (ANALOG)

* For a DVD/LD source, if digital signals are input from both

of the OPTICAL and COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIAL terminal is selected.

DTS

In this mode, only digital input signals encoded with DTS is selected even though other signals are input at the same time.

ANALOG

In this mode, only analog input signals are selected even though digital signals are input at the same time. Select this mode when you want to use analog input signals instead of digital input signals.

Notes on input mode selection

●

The input mode for a TV/DBS source is selected with function “12. TV/DBS INPUT” in the SET MENU mode. This unit will be automatically set to the selected input mode when the power is turned on.

●

Set the input mode to the AUTO mode to play a DVD/LD source encoded with Dolby Digital.

●

Select the ANALOG mode to play a normal 2-channel source with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program.

●

The sound output may be interrupted in some LD and DVD players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is made while playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, then disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital input signal was selected again.

●

The input mode cannot be changed for PHONO, TUNER, TAPE/MD, VCR and VIDEO AUX sources because only analog signals are used.

●

The present input mode appears on the front display and monitor screen when the input source is changed to DVD/LD, CD or TV/DBS, or the input mode is changed. The present input signal is also shown on the monitor screen when the input mode is changed to AUTO, as shown below.

* However, the present input signal will not be shown when

the input mode is switched during the speaker test mode. Only AUTO will be displayed.

Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS

●

Select the DTS mode when playing an LD or CD source encoded with DTS. (Red “dts” indicator is illuminated on the display panel.) If the “AUTO” mode is selected, a noise may be heard just after playback begins. Do not play these sources in the ANALOG mode because only background noise will be output from the speakers.

●

This unit is automatically locked in the DTS decoding mode when playing a CD or LD source encoded with DTS in the AUTO mode to prevent background noise in future operation. The red “dts” indicator will be flashing. In this mode, no sound will be heard if a disc with normal digital signals (PCM) is played from a CD or LD source. To play back the disc normally, press the INPUT MODE button on the front panel, or, the input selector key for the current source on the remote controller.

Using digital sound field processor (DSP)

Playing a source with an effect of the digital sound field processor (DSP)

MOVIE

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Digital decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with DTS. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined operation of YAMAHA DSP and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround or DTS.

This unit has 10 programs for digital sound field processing; 5 programs for Audio sources and 5 programs for Audio/Video sources. In addition, some programs have two subprograms. All programs contain parameters that can be adjusted to the listener’s taste.

For details about digital sound field programs, refer to pages 48 to 50.

2 When operating on the front panel:

If no program name is illuminated on the display panel, press the EFFECT button to turn on the digital sound field processor so that a name of a DSP program appears on the display panel and the monitor screen.

m To enjoy a video source encoded

with Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS

When you select the program No. 1, 2 or 3, and the input signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital is automatically decoded. When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with DTS, DTS is automatically decoded.

The following indicators on the display panel show you what sound processing is being made.

1 Lights up when a DVD source encoded with DTS is played

back and DTS is decoded.

2 Lights up when an LD source or a CD source encoded with

DTS is played back and DTS is decoded.

3 Lights up when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the

signals of selected source encoded with Dolby Digital is not in 2-channels.

4 Lights up when Dolby Pro Logic Surround is being

decoded

5 Lights up when Digital Sound Field Processor is turned

on.

The display panel or the monitor screen will show the selected subprogram according to the type of the decoding.

Notes

●

Dolby Digital will not be decoded if the source that is not encoded with Dolby Digital. DTS will not be decoded if the source that is not encoded with DTS.

●

If the input signals of source encoded with Dolby Digital are in 2-channels only, the sound processing for them is similar to that for analog or PCM audio signals.

Note

If you change the LD (or CD) being played back with DTS decoded to another disc not encoded with DTS when the red “dts” indicator is illuminated, playing back the newly selected disc will output no sound. In this state, the red “dts” indicator flashes to show that this unit is locked in the DTS-decoding mode. To play back the disc normally, change the current DTSdecoding mode to another mode by pressing an input selector key on the remote controller or the INPUT MODE button on the front panel so that the red “dts” indicator turns off.

m To cancel the effect sound

The EFFECT button on the front panel or the EFCT ON/OFF key on the remote controller make it simple to compare the normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound.

To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound, press the EFCT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button. Press the EFCT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button a second time to restore the effect sound.

Notes

●

If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS are input to this unit, signals of all channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers.

●

If the EFFECT button or the EFCT ON/OFF key is pressed to turn effect sounds off when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, press the EFFECT button or the EFCT ON/OFF key to turn effect sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS.

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields were recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

Note The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening in. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

m Program No. 1 to 5: CINEMA-DSP programs (for Audio/Video sources)

●

These programs use the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, the Dolby Digital decoder or the DTS decoder.

●

Speaker output: main, center, rear Note: If the “NONE” position is selected on “1. CENTER SPEAKER” in the SET MENU mode, no sound is output from the center speaker(s).

Program No. 1 is for reproducing video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are encoded with Dolby Surround (bearing the “DOLBY SURROUND” or “DOLBY DIGITAL” logo) or encoded with DTS (bearing the “dts” logo).

Brief overview of digital sound field programs

BASIC OPERATION

FEATURE

The built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, the Dolby Digital decoder or the DTS decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects of a source encoded with Dolby Surround or DTS. The realization of a highly efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound positioning smoother and more precise.

Ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the newest film theater. The digital sound field processing and the Dolby Surround decoding or the DTS decoding are precisely performed without altering the originally designed sound orientation. The surround effects produced by this sound field fold the viewer naturally from the rear to the left and right and toward the screen.

BASIC OPERATION

FEATURE

Creates the extremely wide sound field of a movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, giving both the video and the sound field incredible reality. Any kind of video sources encoded with Dolby Surround or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions) are ideal for use with this program.

Clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound design of science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques.

Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The data of the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence side, so the three dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data of the sound field of a concert hall on the rear surround side, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with much presence.

This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track film, and characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround side, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

6. DOLBY DGTL SET

LFE LEVEL [Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel]

●

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB Preset value: 0 dB

●

This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.

Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signals to other signals can be adjusted. (Refer to page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)

ADVANCED FEATURES

●

Choices: MAX/STD/MIN Preset position: MAX

●

This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is decoded.

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data of sound.

MAX: In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital

is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater. Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard):

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening.

MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than

in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source in an extremely low level. * In this position, it may happen that sound is output

faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position.

9. CENTER DELAY [Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.)]

●

Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step) Preset value: 0 ms

●

This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS contain center channel signals.

Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel). The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated. In your audio system, the distance from the center speaker to your listening position may be shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position. In that case, sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers can reach your listening position at the same time by delaying the sound from the center speaker.

10. PARAMETER INI (Initializing parameters on a DSP program)

You can initialize all parameter settings on a DSP program. Note that some DSP programs have two subprograms; all parameters on both subprograms are initialized by this operation.

Initializing method

Use the remote controller for the operation. A program number whose parameters has been changed is marked with “

”. First press the DSP key, and then press a DSP program selector key which corresponds to the program number whose parameters you want to initialize. When initialized, the “

” mark will disappear.

Note

When the selector dial of the remote controller is set at “DSP”, simply press the corresponding DSP program selector key.

8. DTS SET LFE LEVEL [Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel]

●

Control range: –10 dB to 10 dB Preset value: 0 dB

●

This adjustment is effective only when DTS is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with DTS contain LFE signals.

What is a sound field?

In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, we need to first understand what a sound field really is.

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. We can even tell whether it is highly reflective with steel and glass surfaces, or more absorbent with wood panels, carpeting and curtains.

The 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:

(1) 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. These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown in the diagram on page 57 for any particular environment, and provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

(2) 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 DSP 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 DSP.

DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing values of parameters, however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust those parameters. Even if the power cord of this unit is disconnected from the AC outlet, your custom sound fields will remain in the DSP’s memory for about one week. The following page details how to make your own sound fields.

Each DSP program has a set of parameters that allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to precisely create the effect you want. For the programs which have subprograms, each subprogram has a set of parameters. These parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for example, affects the length of time between the “early reflections”—that is, the first few widely spaced reflections you hear after the direct sound. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the “room” you hear. In addition to room size, the shape of the room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out quicker, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a longer period of time. The DSP parameters allow you to control these and many other factors that contribute to your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially “redesign” the concert halls, theaters, etc. provided to create custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your mood and music.

Refer to “Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters” on pages 57 to 59 for a description of what each parameter does, how it effects the sound, and its control range.

m Selecting and editing program parameters

This adjustment can be made only by using the remote controller and watching the monitor screen or the display panel.

Note

Information on the monitor screen would be easier to see than the display panel.

1 Set the selector dial of the remote controller to “DSP” or

“AMP/TUN”.

2 Turn on your monitor. If the currently selected type of

display is not the full display, press the ON SCREEN display key and select the full display.

3 Select the desired program (or subprogram) by following

the steps 2 and 3 of “Playing a source with an effect of the digital sound field processor (DSP)” on pages

43 and 44.

The selected program name and its parameters will be displayed on the monitor screen. The arrow-shaped cursor points to the first parameter or subprogram name.

4 Select the parameter which you want to edit.

5 Change the value on the selected parameter to create

the effect you want.

“ ” increases the value of the selected parameter, and “ ” decreases the value of the selected parameter. In both cases you can hold the key down to quickly move to the desired value. The display will pause for a moment at the initial set value of the parameter as a reminder. (On the monitor screen, the

mark at the head of the parameter name will disappear upon reaching the initial set value of the parameter.)

m Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters

Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.

●

ROOM SIZE

How it Affects the Sound:

Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound.

What it Does:

Adjusts the timing between the early reflections. Early reflections are the first group of reflections you hear before the subsequent, dense reverberation begins.

Control Range:

0.1 – 2.0 Standard setting is 1.0.

Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all doubled).

P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size)

Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound source.

S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)

Adjusts the apparent space size of the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes.

●

INIT. DELAY (Initial Delay)

How it Affects the Sound:

Changes the apparent distance from the source sound. Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective

surface determines the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the sound source within the acoustic environment.

What it Does:

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.

Control Range:

1 – 99 milliseconds

For a small living room this parameter would be set for a small value. Large values for a big room. Larger values produce an echo effect.

P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.

Control Range:

1 – 99 milliseconds

S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.

Control Range:

1 – 49 milliseconds

LIVENESS

How it Affects the Sound:

This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall.

The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity (decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the early reflections decay slowly is termed “live”, while a room with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay rapidly is termed “dead”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room.

What it Does:

Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay.

Control Range:

0 – 10.

LIVENESS (Presence Liveness)

Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front presence sound field becomes.

S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)

Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the rear surround sound field becomes.

●

REV.TIME (Reverberation Time)

How it Affects the Sound:

The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.

What it Does:

Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (1 kHz).

Control Range:

1.0 – 5.0 seconds. The reverb time in a small-to-medium size hall would be

between 1 and 2, and in a large hall it is normally between 2 and 3.

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side sound field. The larger the value, the later the surround sound field is generated.

Control Range:

When Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded:

15 – 30 milliseconds

When Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded:

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

A loud hissing noise is heard when you play back a source encoded with DTS.

A percussive noise is heard when you begin playing back a source encoded with DTS.

No sound is heard when you play back a source encoded with DTS, even though the “AUTO” or “DTS” input mode is selected on this unit.

No sound is heard when you play back an MD onto which you have recorded a source encoded with DTS.

No sound is heard when you play back a DAT onto which you have recorded a source encoded with DTS.

No sound is heard when you play back a source (CD etc.) even though the currently selected input mode is “AUTO”.

Problem

FM stereo reception is noisy.

There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna.

A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method.

Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in.

A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method.

There are continuous crackling and hissing noises.

There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening).

Cause

The player which plays back the source is not connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit.

The “ANALOG” input mode is selected on this unit.

If the “AUTO” input mode is selected, depending on some sources, there may be a case that a noise is heard while this unit is identifying the format of input signal.

The DTS decoder built into this unit does not function because the player has a digital volume control and it is set at a position other than “maximum”, “neutral” or “ineffective”.

A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto an MD.

Depending on a DAT deck, a source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto a DAT.

In the “AUTO” mode, DTS-decoding mode cannot be changed to the normal (PCM) digital signal input mode automatically.

Cause

Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor.

There is multipath interference.

The station is too weak.

This unit has been unplugged for a long period.

Weak signal or loose antenna connections.

Noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment.

A television set is being used nearby.

What to Do

The player must be connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit besides analog audio signal terminal connections.

Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn on the DTS decoder built into this unit.

Set the input mode of the currently selected input source to “DTS”.

Set the player’s digital volume control at the maximum, neutral or ineffective position.

Press the INPUT MODE button on the front panel or the input selector button (for the currently selected source) on the remote controller so that “PCM” appears on the monitor screen.

What to Do

Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual tuning mode.

Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath interference.

Use the manual tuning method. Use a high quality directional FM antenna.

Repeat the presetting procedure.

Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception.

Use the manual tuning method. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire.

This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all the noises.

Relocate this unit away from the TV.

When playing back a source encoded with DTS:

Tuner

Notes

• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back a source must be

connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter is used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard.

• If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with DTS, the “dts” indicator goes out from the

display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the standard (PCM) digital signal input mode to prevent a noise from being output.

• A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a

source encoded with DTS cannot be played back. The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback).

FMAM

Although you make the operation for recalling a preset station, the station cannot be tuned in, or a station other than the preset one is tuned in.

Some memory of the preset stations was modified because the setting of the FREQUENCY STEP switch was changed after storing stations.

Repeat storing stations by following the preset tuning procedure.
