What you can do with MANUAL SETUP

By configuring the parameters in “MANUAL SETUP”, you can adjust a variety of system settings suited for your listening environment. The following is a brief description of some of the useful menus you can configure in “MANUAL SETUP”. For more detailed information, see “Customizing this unit (MANUAL SETUP)” (page 66) and “SET MENU tree” (page 114).

Fine adjusting the speaker settings

In case speaker settings configured by automatic setup does not match your listening environment, you can configure them manually.

SPEAKER MENU → CONFIG (page 67) SPEAKER MENU → LEVEL (page 68) SPEAKER MENU → DISTANCE (page 68)

Specifying the muting type

In case you do not want to fully mute audio when you receive a call while watching your favorite TV program, you can use this menu to specify the muting level. VOLUME MENU → MUTING TYPE (page 70)

Specifying the initial volume level

By adjusting this parameter, you can automatically control the initial volume level regardless of the recording level of the audio source. VOLUME MENU → INIT. VOL. (page 70)

Adjusting the dynamic range

The dynamic range is the difference between the minimum and maximum amplitude. The higher the dynamic range, the more accurate the sound reproduction for bitstream signals. You can adjust the dynamic range for speakers and headphones individually. SOUND MENU → DYNAMIC RANGE (page 71)

Adjusting the audio and video synchronization

Sometimes, depending on your video source component, video is delayed relative to audio due to processing problems. In this case, you need to manually adjust the audio delay to keep it synchronized with the video. If you connect the video source component to this unit using an HDMI connection and your component supports the LIPSYNC feature, you can adjust the audio/video synchronization automatically. SOUND MENU → LIPSYNC (page 71)

Changing input/output assignment

In case the initial input/output assignments do not correspond to your needs, you can rearrange them according to your component to be connected to this unit. You can also edit the input name to be displayed in the front panel or in the OSD as necessary. INPUT MENU → (input source) → (page 74) INPUT MENU → (input source) → INPUT RENAME (page 74)

I/O ASSIGNMENT

Fixing the volume difference between input sources

The sound output level may vary depending on the audio source components connected to this unit. In this case, you can reduce or increase the output level of each input source using this feature. INPUT MENU → (input source) → VOL. TRIM (page 74)

Setting the background video for audio sources

If you want to enjoy video images in combination with music playback or radio, configure this setting to specify the video input source. For example, to view DVD video images while listening to the FM radio, set this setting under “TUNER” to “DVD”. INPUT MENU → (input source) → BGV (page 74)

Adjusting the brightness of the front panel display

You can make the front panel display darker or brighter by configuring this setting. OPTION MENU → DISPLAY SET → DIMMER

(page 75)

Turning on or off the short message display

Each time you operate this unit using controls on the front panel or remote control keys, this unit displays short messages on the OSD. If you want to turn off the short message display, select “OFF” in this setting (Initial factory setting is “ON”).

OPTION MENU → DISPLAY SET → SHORT MESSAGE (page 76)

Setting the amount of time to display OSD information

You can set the amount of time to display iPod menu or USB menu in the OSD after you perform a certain operation. OPTION MENU → DISPLAY SET → ON SCREEN

(page 76)

Protecting the setup values

After you have configured the sound field program parameters and other system settings, you can use this feature to prevent accidental changes to those setup values. OPTION MENU

→ MEMORY GUARD (page 76)

Placing speakers

The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend.

• 7.1-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback of the high definition digital audio sources (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) with sound field programs.

• We recommend that you add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program.

■ Speaker types

Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. For 5.1-channel speaker layout, place these speakers farther back compared with the placement in the 7.1channel speaker layout.

Surround back left and right speakers (SBL and SBR) / Surround back speaker (SB)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions. For 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and right channel signals are mixed down and output at the single surround back speaker by configuring the “SUR.B L/R SP” setting (page 68). For 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and right channel signals are output at the surround left and right speakers by configuring the “SUR.B L/R SP” setting (page 68).

Subwoofer (SW)

The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the high fidelity sound of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in bitstreams and multi-channel PCM sources. The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

■ Presence left and right speakers (PL and PR)

The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by the sound field programs (page 38). We recommend that you use the presence speakers especially for the CINEMA DSP sound field programs. To use the presence speakers, connect the speakers to SP1 speaker terminals and then set “PRESENCE SP” to “YES” (page 68).

0.5 to 1 m (1 to 3 ft) 0.5 to 1 m (1 to 3 ft)

PRPL

1.8 m (6 ft)

PREPARATION

For other speaker combinations

You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field programs by using a speaker combination other than the 7.1/6.1/5.1-channel speaker combinations. Use the automatic setup feature (page 29) or set the “SPEAKER MENU” parameters (page 67) to output the surround sounds at the connected speakers.

English

11 En

Connections

Connecting speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.

Caution

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (page 25).

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

• If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set “SPEAKER IMP.” to “6Ω MIN” before using this unit (page 25). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers (page 93).

Notes

• A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

• You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, however they do not output sound simultaneously. This unit automatically switches the presence speakers and surround back speakers depending on the input sources and the selected sound field programs.
