Caution-ii En

■ 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.

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 73). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set “SP IMP.” to
“6ΩMIN”.

■ Connecting speaker cables

1 Remove 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.

10 mm (0.4 in)

2 Loosen the knob, insert the twisted bare

wires into the hole and then tighten the knob.

■ 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 73).

Caution

Before making bi-amplification connections, remove
any brackets or cables that connect a woofer with a
tweeter. Refer to the instruction manuals of speakers for
details.
When not making bi-amplification connections, make
sure that the brackets or cables are connected before
connecting the speaker cables.

Note

• You cannot use surround back speakers or extra speakers (presence and

Zone2 speakers) when bi-amplification connections are made.

■ Connecting a multi-format player or an
external decoder

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 56). If your DVD player has analog multi-channel
output jacks, connect them to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks while making
a video connection (component video or composite).

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 59).

Using Auto Setup

1 Check 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

volume level is set to about half way (or slightly
less).

• The crossover frequency controls of the connected

subwoofer are set to the maximum.

This unit has a parametric equalizer that adjusts the
output levels for each frequency range. The equalizer
is adjusted to produce a cohesive sound field based on
automatically measured speaker characteristics.
In “EQ Type”, you can select the following
parametric equalizer characteristics suitable for the
desired sound characteristics.

Flat

This adjusts each speaker to obtain the same
characteristics. Select this if your speakers have
similar qualities.

Front

This adjusts each speaker to obtain the same
characteristics as the front left and right speakers.
Select this if your front left and right speakers have
significantly better qualities than the other speakers.

Natural

This adjusts all speakers to achieve natural sound.
Select this if sounds in the high frequency range seem
too strong when “EQ Type” is set to “Flat”.
