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 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 sources encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.

Digital Sound Field Processing

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used to recreate these environments in digital

sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created using data measured directly at the original venue; others are created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes.

You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround technology. Some are designed especially for music, and some especially for movies.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Dolby Pro Logic Surround has been used in movie theaters since the mid-seventies. It has also been available in home entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Pro Logic Surround encoding as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. DOLBY, the double-D symbol and PRO LOGIC are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP

The Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater. However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP is used on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC ENHANCED”.

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

GETTING STARTED

Remote controller operation range

Notes

●

The area between the remote controller and the main unit must be clear of large obstacles.

●

Do not expose the remote control sensor to strong lighting, in particular, an inverter type fluorescent lamp. Otherwise, the remote controller may not work properly. If necessary, position the main unit away from direct lighting.

English

Since the remote controller will be used for many of this unit’s control operations, you should begin by installing the supplied batteries.

1.Turn the remote controller over and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.

2.Insert the batteries (R6, AA, UM-3 type) according to the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment.

3.Close the battery compartment cover.

Battery replacement

If you find that the remote controller must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

●

Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries.

●

Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

●

Remove the batteries if the remote controller is not used for an extended period of time.

●

If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material and contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to be used

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with this unit are main speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. You can do without the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The main speakers are used for the main source sound. They could be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main speakers, although the rear speakers do not have to be equal. 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 recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the program PRO LOGIC or PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

• Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE”

position. (For details, refer to page 22.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the program PRO LOGIC or PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of other DSP programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

• Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM”

position. (For details, refer to page 22.)

Speaker placement

The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: main speakers (your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.

Main: The position of your present stereo speaker system. Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.

Nearly 1.8m (approx. 6 feet) above the floor.

Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid

interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

Note on a subwoofer connection:

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel when reproducing discrete signals. When using a subwoofer, connect the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal of this unit to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer are in the same unit. Such a subwoofer needs only the connection between the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal of this unit and the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer.

SUBWOOFER OUT terminal

This terminal is for connecting with the input terminal of an amplifier for driving a subwoofer. When the input signals to this unit are normal 2-channel stereo, this terminal outputs low frequencies from the main and center channels. (The frequency cut-off of this terminal is at 150 Hz.) When the source equipment connected to the DVD/LD 6CH DISCRT INPUT terminals of this unit is selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.
