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 74) and “SET MENU tree” (page 123).

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 75) SPEAKER MENU → LEVEL (page 76) SPEAKER MENU → DISTANCE (page 76)

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 78)

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 78)

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 79)

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 79)

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 82) INPUT MENU → (input source) INPUT RENAME (page 82)

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 82)

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 82)

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 83)

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 84)

Setting the amount of time to display OSD information

You can set the amount of time to display HD Radio (U.S.A. model only), XM Satellite Radio, or SIRIUS Satellite Radio information or iPod menu in the OSD after you perform a certain operation. OPTION MENU → DISPLAY SET → ON SCREEN

(page 84)

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 76). 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 76).

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 39). 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 76).

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

PRPL

1.8 m (6 ft)

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 (pages 30) or set the “SPEAKER MENU” parameters (page 75) to output the surround sounds at the connected speakers.

12 En

Page 17

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 26).

• 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 26). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers (page 102).

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.

Notes

• Be sure to make the same type of video connections as those made for your TV if the video conversion is disabled. For example, if you connected your TV to the VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack of this unit, connect other components to the VIDEO jacks.

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

• If you connect your DVD player to both the OPTICAL and COAXIAL jacks, priority is given to the signals input at the COAXIAL jack.

• OSD signals are not output at the DVR OUT and VCR OUT jacks and cannot be recorded.

• To make a digital connection to a component other than the default one assigned to each DIGITAL INPUT or DIGITAL OUTPUT jack, configure the “I/O ASSIGNMENT” setting (page 82).

• When connecting a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge to the PHONO jack, use an in-line boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier.

• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal of this unit to reduce noise in the signal.

■ Connecting an external amplifier

This unit has more than enough power for any home use. However, if you want to add more power to the speaker output or if you want to use another amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks. Each PRE OUT jack outputs the same channel signals as the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.

Notes

• When you make connections to the PRE OUT jacks, do not make any connections to the SPEAKERS terminals.

• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer.

Sound field programs

Descriptions of the characteristics of the sound field programs

Following indexes indicates the characteristics and trends of each sound field program.

Note

The characteristics of the sound field programs may differ depending on the settings of the listening room, etc.

Size of sound field space (Size)

Small Large

Indicates the size of the sound field to be generated. If the value for this item is small, the sound is that of a small space, while if the value is large, the sound is that of a vast space.

Vertical/horizontal balance (V/H balance)

Vertical Horizontal

Indicates the balance of the vertical (height) and horizontal directions for the sound field to be generated. If this item is more in the horizontal direction, the sound is that of a space with strong reflections from the walls, while if it is more in the vertical direction, the sound is that of a space with strong reflections from the ceiling.

Front/rear balance (F/R balance)

Front Rear

A CINEMA DSP sound field processing expressing whether the effect is stronger towards the front or rear. When the effect is stronger towards the front, the listener senses a feeling of openness and depth towards the screen, while when the effect is stronger towards the rear, the listener gets a sense of envelopment and movement. Suits basically all types of contents for programs with a good front/rear balance, and is effective when selected appropriately for programs in which the balance is more towards either the front or rear.

Sound field atmosphere (Atmosphere)

Simple Complex

The sound field to be generated is evaluated according to whether it is nearer to one or the other of the following; Simple: Sounds that fade straight-forwardly, with a light, gentle impression, depending on the program. This suits almost all contents relatively well, but provides little brilliance or powerfulness. Complex: Sounds transform in complex ways as they fade out, with a rich, brilliant impression, depending on the program. This is extremely effective for the right contents, but is suited for a smaller range of contents.

Calm Powerful

The sound field to be generated is evaluated according to whether it is nearer to one or the other of the following; Calm: An overall composed, moderate effect, stressing the overall quality of the atmosphere without aiming at any extreme effects. This suits almost all contents relatively well, but provides little showiness or powerfulness. Powerful: Designed with specific contents in mind (expressing vast spaces, feverish excitement, etc.). This is extremely effective for the right contents, but is suited for a smaller range of contents.

■ For audio music sources

For audio music sources, we also recommend using the Pure Direct mode (page 46), the “STRAIGHT” mode (page 45), or surround decode mode (page 66).

CLASSICAL

Hall in Munich

This sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2500 seats in Munich, using stylish wood for the interior finishing as normal standards for European concert halls. Fine, beautiful reverberations spread richly, creating a calming atmosphere. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.

Hall in Vienna

This is an approximately 1700-seated, middle-sized concert hall with a shoebox shape that is traditional in Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections from all around the audience, producing a very full, rich sound.

Hall in Amsterdam

The large, shoe box shaped hall seats about 2200 around the circle stage. Reflections are rich and pleasing while the sound travels freely.

Church in Freiburg

Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church has a pointed tower at 120 meters in height. Its long and narrow shape and the high ceiling enable the elongated reverberation time and limited initial reflection time. Thus, the rich reverberation rather than the sound itself reproduces the atmosphere of the church.

Chamber

This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like an audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.

LIVE/CLUB

Village Vanguard

The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low ceiling makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in the corner.

■ Basic configuration of sound field

programs

Each sound field program has some parameters defining the characteristics of the program. To customize the selected sound field program, adjust “DSP LEVEL” and/ or “DIALOG LIFT” first, and then try other parameters.

To change sound field parameter settings, see page 67 for details.

Adjusting the effect sound level of the sound field programs (DSP LEVEL)

Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect sounds) to the original source sound to create sound field in the listening room. Use the “DSP LEVEL” parameter to adjust the level of the effect sounds.

Increase the value of “DSP LEVEL” when

• the effect sound of the selected sound field program is too weak.

• you cannot recognize any difference between the sound field programs.

Decrease the value of “DSP LEVEL” when

• the sound is vague.

• you feel that the additional sound effect is excessive.

Control range: – 6 dB to +3 dB

Adjusting the vertical dialogue position (DIALOG LIFT)

Use this feature to adjust the vertical position of the dialogues in movies. The ideal position of the dialogues is at the center of the video monitor screen.

The ideal dialogue position

If the dialogues are heard at the lower position of the video monitor screen, increase the value of “DIALOG LIFT”.

Move up to the ideal dialogue position

Choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 “0” (initial setting) is the lowest position, and “5” is the highest position.

Initial delay. Presence, surround, and surround back sound field initial delay. Changes the apparent size of the sound field by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the smaller the sound field seems to the listener.

When you adjust the initial delay parameters, we also recommend that you adjust the corresponding room size parameters likewise.

Control range: 1 to 99 ms (INIT.DLY and P.INIT.DLY)

Room size. Presence, surround, and surround back room size. Adjusts the apparent size of the sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two doubles the apparent length of the room.

When you adjust the room size parameters, we also recommend that you adjust the corresponding initial delay parameters likewise.

Liveness. Surround and surround back liveness. Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”.

Macro programming features

The macro programming feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations with the press of a single button. For example, when you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button to start playback. The macro programming feature lets you perform all of these operations simply by pressing the CD macro button. The buttons listed as macro buttons below are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros (page 96).
