PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a totally new listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.

Please read this owner’s manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.

Digital Sound Field Processing

What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing: the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you

this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert.

Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately recreate one of several actual live performance environments, all in your own home.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its profes- sional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective front and rear channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in less sophisticated home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so that there are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners

seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system increases sound stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels compared to conventional analog Dolby signal processing.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This circuit always presents you the best surround conditions without performing manual adjustments.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP

You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic with two modes of Digital Sound field processing. These combinations expand the surround effect. One is the “ENHANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround which recreates the surround effect of the 35 mm film movie theater. The other is the sound field program ”70 mm MOVIE THEATER”. Which recreates the listening experience of a 70mm film theater.

Directional Enhancement Circuit + DSP

The newly featured directional enhancement circuit expands and focuses the digital sound field by emphasizing position of sound.

This effect puts you in the midst of the action, while centering and focusing your attention to the screen. This circuit is available on the sound field program “TV THEATER” and “SPORTS”.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these programs are created by the combination of Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.

SPEAKER SETUP FOR THIS UNIT

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a fivespeaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will be front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker.

The front speakers are used for the main source sound. These are usually a much larger, high-quality loudspeaker than you will use for the surround sound effects. The center speaker is used for the center sound (dialog, etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. And the rear speakers are used for special effects that enhance the surround sound. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

Five-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is used for dialog when you select the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, 70mm MOVIE THEATER, TV THEATER, or SPORTS.

•Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 19.)

Four-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, 70mm MOVIE THEATER, TV THEATER, or SPORTS is selected, the center sound along with the front effects are output from the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the other configurations.

•Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 19.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The recommended speaker configuration, the five-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following:

			Front:	In normal position. (The position of a standard
				stereo speaker setup)
		Center	Center:	Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
				interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
		Front R		shielded speaker.) When two center speakers are
				used, place these to the right and left of your TV
	Front L			set or video monitor.
		Rear R	Rear:	Behind your listening position, facing slightly
				inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
				floor.
