PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of this 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 wide range of 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. Rather than tell you about the wonders of digital sound field processing, however, let’s get right down to the business of setting up the system and trying out its many capabilities. Please read this operation 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.
What’s more, 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 professional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in today’s typical 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 Surround 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 combination of Dolby Pro Logic and the sound field program “70 mm MOVIE THEATER”, which recreates the listening experience of a 70 mm 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”.

SPEAKER SETUP FOR THIS UNIT

SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker. Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the output of the main source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be the speakers of your present stereo speaker system. The rear speakers are used for the output of the effect sound. And the center speaker is used for the output of the center sound (most important effects as well as dialogue) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal in power to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and is the one that is recommended. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the digital sound field program is in DOLBY PRO LOGIC, ENHANCED or TV THEATER mode conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.
Set the center mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 13.)
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, ENHANCED or TV THEATER mode, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.
Be sure to set the center mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 13.)
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommanded speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers (your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
Front: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.
Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker. If, however, it is not effective, keep the speaker away from TV sets.)

ENGLISH
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good grounding. A good grounding is a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
When connecting the indoor FM antenna, make sure that the grooved part of the connector hole is facing downward.
If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either a 300-ohm feeder or a coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, a coaxial cable is preferable.

Speaker balance adjustment
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. With this adjustment, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor.
The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.
* If your monitor is connected to this unit, by turning it on, display information and image on the monitor’s screen will help you to
perform this adjustment.

Adjust the BALANCE control so that the effect sound output level of the left front speaker and the right front speaker are the same.
Make the sound output level of the center speaker the same as that of the front speakers with the CENTER LEVEL key.
Make the sound output level of the rear speakers the same as that of the front speakers with the REAR LEVEL key.
Cancel the test tone.
Notes
The FRONT EFFECT LEVEL key does not function if the unit is in the “test” mode. Because the effect sound output level of the front speakers is used as the basis in speaker balance adjustment.
Once you have completed these adjustments, you can adjust whole sound level on your audio system by using the VOLUME control (or the MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote control transmitter).
If you use external power amplifiers, their volume controls may also be adjusted to achieve proper balance.
In step 12, if the center mode is in the “PHANTOM” position, the sound output level of the center speaker can not be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the center sound is automatically output from the left and right front speakers.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor, which allows you to expand and shape the audio sound field from both the audio and video sources, for a theater-like experience in the listening/viewing room. This digital sound field processor has 8 programs; 4 programs for audio sources and 4 programs for Audio/Video sources. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting the suitable program and adding desired adjustments. In addition, when the digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, ENHANCED or 70 mm MOVIE THEATER mode, the built-in automatic input balance control functions. This presents you the best surround condition without manual adjustment.

Description of Each Sound Field Program
PROGRAM FEATURE
This program reproduces sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC
The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, compared to the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated.
This program reproduces sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
ENHANCED
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of a 35 mm film theater, thus widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence.
70 mm MOVIE
The Yamaha DSP technology is ideally combined with the Dolby Pro Logic to present you incredible
THEATER
listening experience of the 70 mm film movie theater. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest movies. The sound field is made according to the design of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The three dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. You can enjoy watching S.F.X., adventure movies, etc. with this program.
TV THEATER
This program simulates the sound field of a jazz or rock concert. By featuring the directional enhancement circuit, vocals are oriented on the screen and the sound field is widely expanded. Your attention will be focused on the screen in enthusiastic atmosphere, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert.
ROCK CONCERT This program is suitable for rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically.
JAZZ CLUB This is a small, cozy jazz club with a low ceiling. The sound is very close and intimate.
CHURCH
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a modern church with a high pointed dome and columns along the sides. This interior produces a very few primary reflections.
CONCERT HALL
In this program, the center seems even more deeply behind the front speaker pair, creating an expansive, large hall ambience.
ON/OFF
Whenever pressed, this switches on/off the built-in digital sound field processor (DSP). When the DSP is on, a program name illuminates in the display and sound output is from the front, rear and (or) center speakers. Conversely, no illumination of program name and no output from the rear and center speakers show that the DSP is off.
Description of Dolby Pro Logic Surround
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND: This unit employs the
Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. This system is similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in movie theaters. By employing a four-channel system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signals into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize dialog), and the rear surround-sound channels (to characterize sound effects, background noise and other ambient noise).
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home video system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on this unit decodes the signal and feeds the surround-sound effects. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby Surround.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Additionally licensed under one or more of the following patents: U.S. number 3,950,590; Canadian numbers 1,004,603 and 1,037,877. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Follow step 1–6 shown in “OPERATIONS” on page 15.
Select the desired program that is suitable for the source.
The corresponding indicator will illuminate.
If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on page 22–23.)
Notes
If you prefer to cancel the selected program, press the ON/OFF switch. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect.
In the ROCK CONCERT, JAZZ CLUB, CHURCH and CONCERT HALL modes, no sound is heard from the center
speaker.
When a monaural sound source is played in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED mode, no sound is heard from
the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the center mode is in the PHANTOM, the front speakers output the sound of the center speaker.
If you connect an external amplifier to this unit, see if it has built-in surround sound or ambience circuitry. If it does, then be sure that the surround or ambience circuitry on that amplifier is off while you are using the digital sound field processor’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding function.
When this unit is in the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS, TREBLE controls or BASS EXTENSION switch, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect.

Adjustment of the CENTER LEVEL
Adjustment of the FRONT EFFECT LEVEL
If desired, you can adjust the effect sound output level of the front speakers with this control. The output level is preset to be
80. However, you can adjust the level between 1 and 100.
If the digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode, the FRONT EFFECT LEVEL control does not
function.
Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in all the digital sound field programs except for the DOLBY PRO LOGIC .
If a digital sound field program is not used, the FRONT EFFECT LEVEL control does not function.
If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the center speaker with this control even if the output level is already set in “Speaker balance adjustment” on page 12.
By continuously pressing “+” or “–” on the CENTER LEVEL control, the level value changes continuously. However, the value stops changing momentarily at the point which was once set in the “test” mode.
If the digital sound field program is in the ROCK CONCERT, JAZZ CLUB, CHURCH or CONCERT HALL mode, the CENTER LEVEL control can not function.
Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in all the digital sound field programs except the above-mentioned ones.
If a digital sound field program is not used, the CENTER LEVEL control does not function.
22
Adjustment of DELAY TIME
You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the source sound and the beginning of the effect sound with the DELAY TIME control. The DELAY TIME control is effective with all programs. By applying more or less delay, sound effects, background noise, and ambient noise coming at you from the rear speakers can be enhanced or subdued for extra effect.
1. PRO LOGIC: from 15 to 30 milliseconds (Preset value: 20 milliseconds)
2. ENHANCED: from 15 to 30 milliseconds (Preset value: 20 milliseconds)
3. 70 mm MOVIE from 15 to 30 milliseconds
THEATER: (Preset value: 10 milliseconds)
4. TV THEATER: from 1 to 50 milliseconds

REMOTE CONTROL “LEARNING” FUNCTION
The keys on this remote control transmitter can be programmed to “learn” key-functions from other remote control transmitters. By using this feature, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient. Use the included user program sheets to indicate a new function learned for each key.
Note
There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control transmitter, this unit will not be able to “learn” its signals.
Set to the “LEARN” position.
Press a key on this unit where a new function will be learned.
Press and hold the key (on the other remote control transmitter) where the desired new function is.
When the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator stops illuminating, the learning is finished.
Repeat step 2–3 until all desired functions are successfully learned.
Set to the “USER” position.
Try operating your components.
Notes
When you operate the desired component with this remote control transmitter, TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash steadily.
The originally preset function of a key is still available in the USER position if a new function has not been learned to the key.
Successful learning to a key results in the erasure of previously learned functions and their replacement by the newly learned ones.
If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash two times. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control transmitters, no further learning is possible.
Memory back-up
All of the learned functions will be retained while you replace the batteries. However, if no batteries are installed for a few hours, the learned functions will be erased and will have to be learned again.
