Placing speakers

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

■ 7.1-channel speaker layout

7.1-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback the sound of high definition audio formats (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) as well as the conventional audio sources with sound field programs. See page 15 for connection information.

y

We recommend that you also add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program. See page 17 for details.

Front left and right speakers

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

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

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.

Surround back left and right speakers

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.

Subwoofer

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 reproducing the high fidelity sound 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.

The functions and settings of each speaker are the same as those for the 7.1-channel speaker layout (see page 13).

Surround back speaker

Connect a single surround speakers to the SURROUND BACK SINGLE speaker terminal and place the single surround back speaker behind the listening position. The surround back left and right channel signals are mixed down and output at the single surround back speaker when you set “Surround Back” to “Small x1” or “Large x1” (see page 92).

Subwoofer

The functions and settings of each speaker are the same as those for the 7.1-channel speaker layout (see page 13).

Surround left and right speakers

Connect the surround speakers to the SURROUND speaker terminals even if you place the surround speakers behind the listening position. For the smooth and unbroken sound field behind the listening position, place the surround left and right speakers farther back compared with the placement in the 7.1-channel speaker layout. The surround back channel signals are directed to the surround left and right speakers when “Surround Back” is set to “None” (see page 92).

For other speaker combinations

You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field programs by using a speaker combination other than the 7.1/ 6.1/5.1-channel speaker combinations.

Use the automatic setup feature (see page 37) or set the “Speaker Set” parameters in “Manual Setup” (see page 91) to output the surround sounds at the connected speakers.

14 En

Connections

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

•Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 33).

•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.

•If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set “SPEAKER IMP.” to “6ΩMIN” before using this unit (see page 33). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers (see page 122).

Notes

•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 ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

•You can use the SP1 terminals to connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers as well as the presence speakers (see page 118).

Using presence speakers

The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by the sound field programs (see page 45). Presence left and right speakers function more effectively when the CINEMA DSP 3D mode is active (see page 50). You can adjust the vertical position of dialogues with using the presence speakers (see page 75). To use the presence speakers, connect the speakers to SP1 speaker terminals and then set “Presence” to “Yes” (see page 92).
