small quantity of power.
■ Notes on remote controls and batteries
• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following
conditions:
– places of high humidity, such as near a bath
– places of high temperatures, such as near a heater or stove
– places of extremely low temperatures
– dusty places
• Insert the battery according to the polarity markings (+ and -).
• Change all batteries if you notice the following conditions:
– the operation range of the remote control narrows
– the transmit indicator does not flash or is dim
• If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the
remote control to prevent an explosion or acid leak.
• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries
immediately, taking care not to touch the leaked material. If
the leaked material comes into contact with your skin or gets
into your eyes or mouth, rinse it away immediately and
consult a doctor. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly
before installing new batteries.
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones. This may
shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries to
leak.
• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and
manganese batteries) together. Specification of batteries may
be different even though they look the same.
• Before inserting new batteries, wipe the compartment clean.
• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 2
minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote
control, the contents of the memory may be cleared. In such a
case, install new batteries and set the remote control code.
• Dispose of batteries according to your regional regulations.

(dialog, vocals, etc.). Place it halfway between the left and
right speakers. When using a TV, place the speaker just
above or just under the center of the TV with the front
surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned. When using a
screen, place it just under the center of the screen.
■ Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
FR
SW
sounds. Place them at the rear left and rear right facing the
listening position. To obtain a natural sound flow in the
5.1-channel speaker layout, place them slightly further
back than in the 7.1-channel speaker layout.
■ Surround back left and right speakers (SBL
and SBR) / Surround back speaker (SB)
SR
The surround back left and right speakers are used for rear
effect sounds. Place them at the rear of the room facing the
SR
listening position at least 30 cm (1 ft) away from each
other, ideally at the same distance as that between the
front left and right speakers.
In the 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
right channel sound signals are mixed down and output
from the single surround back speaker.
In the 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
FR
right channel sound signals are output from the surround
left and right speakers.
SW
■ Subwoofer (SW)
The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and lowfrequency effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital
and DTS signals. Use a subwoofer with a built-in
SR
SR
amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System. Place it exterior to the front left and
right speakers facing slightly inward to reduce reflections
from a wall.

Connections
Caution
• A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently
or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the “+” (red) terminal of this unit
and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the “–” (black) terminal of this
unit and the other end to that of your speaker.
• Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
speakers. If the circuit shorts out, “CHECK SP WIRES!” appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned
on.
• If images on the monitor (CRT) are distorted, place the speakers away from the video monitor.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in the advanced setup menu before
connecting the speakers (page 60). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set “SP IMP.” to
“6ΩMIN”.
■ Connecting speaker cables
1Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) of
insulation from the end of each speaker
cable and then twist bare wires of the cable
together so that they will not cause a short
circuits.

■ Using bi-amplification connections
If you do not connect surround back speakers, you can use
the SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP jacks to make biamplification connections to one speaker system which
supports bi-amplification connection as shown below.
To activate the connections, set “BI-AMP” to “ON” in the
advanced setup menu (page 60).

details.
When not making bi-amplification connections, make
sure that the brackets or cables are connected before
connecting the speaker cables.

This unit is equipped with 8 additional input jacks (Front
L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R and
Subwoofer) for analog multi-channel input from a multiformat player, external decoder, etc.
Notes
• When you select “MULTI CH” as the input source, the digital sound field
processor is automatically disabled.
• Since this unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT
jacks to accommodate for missing speakers, connect at least a 5.1channel speaker system when using this feature.
• You can specify a video signal to be output during a multi-channel audio
reproduction (page 42). If your DVD player has analog multi-channel
output jacks, connect them to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks while making

This unit has a Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO). With the YPAO, this unit automatically adjusts the
output characteristics of your speakers based on speaker position, speaker performance, and the acoustic characteristics
of the room. We recommend that you first adjust the output characteristics with the YPAO when you use this unit.
INTRODUCTION
Caution
• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be
output during the “Auto Setup” procedure. Do not
allow small children to enter the room during the
procedure.
• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as
quiet as possible while the “Auto Setup” procedure is
in progress. If there is too much ambient noise, the
results may not be satisfactory.
y
• You can manually adjust the output characteristics of your speakers
with “Manual Setup” in the Setup menu (page 46).
Using Auto Setup
1Check the following points.
Before starting the automatic setup, check the
following.
• All speakers and subwoofer are connected
properly.
• Headphones are disconnected from this unit.
• The video monitor is connected properly.
• This unit and the video monitor are turned on.
• This unit is selected as the video input source of the
video monitor.
• The connected subwoofer is turned on and the
