What you can do with the unit
The unit is equipped with the various useful features.
Connecting various devices (p.32)
A number of HDMI jacks and various input/output jacks on
the unit allow you to connect video devices (such as BD/DVD
players), audio devices (such as CD players), game consoles,
camcorders, and other devices.
Playing back TV audio in surround
sound with a single HDMI cable
connection (Audio Return Channel:
ARC) (p.32)
When using an ARC-compatible TV, you only need one HDMI
cable to enable video output to the TV, audio input from the
TV, and the transmission of HDMI Control signals.
More advanced ENTERTAINMENT
sound programs (p.65)
By processing front left and front right sound fields
individually, the ENTERTAINMENT sound programs are
further improved in acoustic positioning and sound
transition. These programs allow you to enjoy clearer vocal
and instrumental sounds, distinct narrations, and more
dynamic sound effects.
Various wireless connection
methods (p.51)
The unit supports the Wi-Fi feature that allows the unit to
connect to your wireless router (access point) without a
network cable connection. In addition, Wireless Direct
enables connecting a mobile device to the unit directly
without router.
Surround playback with 5 speakers
placed in front (p.66)
If you have surround speakers but there is no space to place
them in the rear of your room, you can place them in the
front and enjoy multichannel surround sound with the 5
speakers placed in the front (Virtual CINEMA FRONT).
Home Audio Network with
MusicCast (p.59)
The unit supports the MusicCast feature that allows you to
link a MusicCast compatible device to another device in a
different room and play them back simultaneously, or
control all MusicCast compatible devices with the dedicated
application “MusicCast CONTROLLER”.
Low power consumption (p.140)
The ECO mode (power saving function) reduces the unit’s
power consumption.

Time
The excitement of a concert hall and the powerful sense of being inside a movie - we all want to enjoy these experiences in our own living room. Yamaha has pursued the fulfillment of these desires
for more than 30 years, and this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers.
What is a sound field?
We perceive sound from a voice or an instrument not only as the sounds that are heard directly
but also as the “reflected” or “reverberant” sound that has been reflected by the walls or
ceiling of the building. The character of the reflected and reverberant sound is affected by the
shape, size, and material of the building, and all of these sounds taken together are what give
us the auditory sensation of being in that specific place.
This unique acoustical character of a specific space is what we call the “sound field”.

CINEMA DSP
Yamaha has accumulated a massive amount of acoustical data by analyzing the actual sound
fields of concert halls and performance spaces around the world. “CINEMA DSP” allows this
data to be applied to create sound fields. This unit contains a wide variety of sound programs
using CINEMA DSP.
By selecting a sound program that is appropriate to the content of the playback source such as
movies, music, or games, you can maximize the acoustical effectiveness of that specific
content. (For example, a sound program designed for movies can give you the sensation of
actually being in that scene.)
CINEMA DSP HD
“CINEMA DSP HD3” is Yamaha’s flagship 3D sound field playback technology that takes full
advantage of the massive amount of acoustic reflection data included in the sound field data.
It delivers more than twice as much capability for generating acoustic reflections as
conventional CINEMA DSP 3D, in addition to high-frequency playback capability, delivering an
utterly natural and powerful spatial sound field.

• We recommend using front prese nce spea kers to h ave a full effect o f the 3-d imensio nal soun d fields . However ,
the unit creates Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center and surround speakers to produce
3-dimensional sound fields even when no front presence speakers are connected (p.64).
• Use “Ideal speaker layout” (diagram on the righ t) as reference. You do not need to exactly adjust the speaker
layout to this diagram since the YPAO function of the unit will automatically optimize the speaker settings (such
as distances) to suit the speaker layout.
• When using only one s urround back speaker, place it straight behind the listening position (middle of “SBL”
and “SBR” in the diagram).
En 17
Basic speaker configuration
If you do not apply bi-amp connections, channel expansion (using an external amplifier) or multi-zone configurations, follow the procedure below to place the speakers in your room and connect
them to the unit.
■ Placing speakers in your room
Depending on the number of speakers, place the speakers and subwoofer in your room. This
section describes the representative speaker layout examples.
X
• To have a full effect of Dolby Atmos contents, we recommend using a speaker system with a S mark. However,
you can also play back Dolby Atmos contents with the 7.1 system (using surround back speakers).
• To have a full effect of DTS:X contents, we recommend using a speaker system with a S mark.
• (About the number of ch annels) For example, “5.1.2” denotes “standard 5.1-channel plus 2 for overhead
speaker channels”. For details on how to place overhead speakers (presence speakers), see “Presence speaker
layout” (p.22).
7.1/5.1.2 system [S]
(using both surround back and front presence speakers)
This speaker system brings out the full performance of the unit and allows you to enjoy a
highly-natural 3-dimensional sound field with any contents.
X
• The surround back speakers and front presence speakers do not produce sounds simultaneously. The unit
automatically changes the speakers to be used, depending on the input signal and CINEMA DSP (p.64).
• When using front presence speakers installed to the ceiling or when using the Dolby Enabled speakers as the
presence speakers, configure the “Layout (Front Presence)” setting in the “Setup” menu before performing
YPAO (p.42).
En 18
5.1.2 system [S] (using front presence speakers)
This speaker system uses the front presence speakers to produce a natural 3-dimensional
sound field, and also creates Virtual Surround Back Speaker (VSBS) using the surround
speakers to add a sense of depth to the rear sound field. This system is suited for enjoying not
only 5.1-channel but also for 7.1-channel contents.
X
When using front presence speakers installed to the ceiling or when using the Dolby Enabled speakers as the
presence speakers, configure the “Layout (Front Presence)” setting in the “Setup” menu before performing YPAO
(p.42).
7.1 system (using surround back speakers)

Presence speaker layout
The unit provides three layout patterns for presence speakers (Front Height, Overhead and
Dolby Enabled SP). Choose a layout pattern that suits your listening environment.
X
You can enjoy Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Cinema DSP HD3 with any layout pattern.
Front Height
Install the presence speakers on the front side wall.
It delivers a natural sound field with excellent linkage of left, right, top and bottom sound
spaces, and sound extensity effectively.
Overhead
Install the presence speakers to the ceiling above the listening position.
It delivers realistic overhead sound effects and sound field with excellent linkage of front and
rear sound spaces effectively.
Dolby Enabled SP
Use the Dolby Enabled speakers as the presence speakers.
It utilizes sounds reflected from ceiling and lets you enjoy overhead sounds only from speakers
that are placed at the same level as traditional speakers.
X
Place the Dolby Enabled speakers on top of or near the traditio nal front speakers. A Dolby Enabled speaker unit
may be integrated into a traditional speaker. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the Dolby Enabled
speakers.
Notes on installation of ceiling speakers
When installing presence speakers to a ceiling, install them just above the listening position,
or the ceiling between the extensions of the front speakers and listening position.
