Full of useful functions!

Connecting various devices (p.23)

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.

Creating 3-dimensional sound fields (p.49)

Connecting presence speakers allows you to create a natural 3-dimensional sound field in your own room (CINEMA DSP 3D). Even when no presence speakers are connected, the Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) function produces 3D surround sound.

Playing back TV audio in surround sound with a single HDMI cable connection (Audio Return Channel: ARC) (p.21)

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.

Surround playback with 5 speakers placed in front (p.51)

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 multi-channel surround sound with the 5 speakers placed in the front (Virtual CINEMA FRONT).

Low power consumption (p.108)

The ECO mode (power saving function) reduces the unit’s power consumption.

Easy operation and wireless music playback from iPhone or Android™ device

By using the application for smartphone/tablet “AV CONTROLLER”, you can control the unit from an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android devices. Visit the Yamaha website for details.

Caution

•Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers. For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.16).

This channel is counted as “0.1”. You can connect 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit.

If you use five speakers in the front side, use two of them as front surround speakers (*1) or presence speakers (*2). We recommend using them as front surround speakers for enjoying unprocessed playback (p.52) or presence speakers for enjoying stereoscopic sound fields (p.49).

•For information on the ideal speaker layout, see “Ideal speaker layout” (p.123).

•If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers or presence speakers. To reinforce the rear left/right sounds, use them as surround back speakers.

To create a natural 3-dimensional sound field, use them as presence speakers.

•Two subwoofers connected to the unit output the same sounds.

■ Connecting speaker cables

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.

a Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cable and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.

b Loosen the speaker terminal.

cInsert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper right or bottom left) of the terminal.

dTighten the terminal.

■ Video/audio jacks

HDMI jacks

Transmit digital video and digital sound through a single jack. Use an HDMI cable.

HDMI cable

•Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo. We recommend using a cable less than 5.0 m (16.4 ft) long to prevent signal quality degradation.

•The unit’s HDMI jacks support the HDMI Control, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and 3D and 4K Ultra HD video transmission features.

•Use high speed HDMI cables to enjoy 3D or 4K Ultra HD videos.

HDMI/MHL jack

Transmits digital video and digital sound. Use an MHL or HDMI cable.

MHL or HDMI cable

•The VIDEO AUX jack on the front panel of the unit supports both MHL and HDMI connections. Use a cable that matches the jack on your MHL-compatible mobile device. For details on an MHL connection, see “MHL connection” (p.27). When connecting an HDMI-compatible playback device to the VIDEO AUX jack, use an HDMI cable.

■ Video jacks

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

Transmit video signals separated into three components: luminance (Y), chrominance blue (PB), and chrominance red (PR). Use a component video cable with three plugs.

Audio output (digital optical)

•You do not make a digital optical cable connection between the TV and the unit in the following cases:

–If your TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)

–If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box

•If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit’s power and volume with the TV’s remote control.

To use HDMI Control and ARC, you need to configure the HDMI settings on the unit. For details on the settings, see “Information on HDMI” (p.129).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

•ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways. If you connect a TV that supports ARC to the unit with a single HDMI cable, you can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.

•When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

■ Component/composite video connection

When connecting any video device with a component video cable, connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks.

When connecting any video device with a video pin cable, connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO) jack.

•If you connect your TV to the unit with a cable other than HDMI, video input to the unit via HDMI cannot be output to the TV.

•Operations with TV screen are available only when your TV is connected to the unit via HDMI.

•If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box, you do not need to make an audio cable connection between the TV and the unit.

•If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the unit, as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network parameters manually (p.102).

•You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in “Network” (p.110) in the “Information” menu.

•Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router) may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the security software or firewall settings appropriately.

•Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.

•To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.
