PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha AV 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 totally new listening environment. In addition, you get incredible realism from sources encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. This unit also has Karaoke functions. They are useful for enjoying Karaoke by using not only multisound sources for Karaoke, but also normal music sources with vocals. Furthermore, sound-surrounding effects of the DSP expand your Karaoke enjoyment, in which you will be absorbed in your singing. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.

Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)

What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing: the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to develop their original Digital Sound Field Processing Technology to re-create the acoustic environment of a large concert hall in a home audio listening room.

Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an actual concert hall, live house, etc. to re-create various types of actual live performance environments for home audio use. The DSP programs on this unit are made on the basis of this technology.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging. Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. “Dolby”, the double-D symbol and “Pro Logic” are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Enjoying Karaoke with DSP

This unit is a new concept of AV receiver which has Karaoke functions. They are two microphone input jacks, microphone level control, echo level control, key level control and two sound output modes (ONE TOUCH KARAOKE and VOCAL AID) useful for singing Karaoke by using normal music sources with vocals.

In addition, the built-in digital sound field processor presents you with four programs which create sound fields suitable for singing Karaoke. In those sound fields, you will sing Karaoke with great feeling and sometimes excitedly.

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 use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” shown below.) The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably 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 should not 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 DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO 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 page17.)

4-Speaker Configuration (without the center speaker)

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right main speakers. The program DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be almost 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 17.)

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: In normal position. (The position of your present

stereo speaker system.)

Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.

Nearly 1.8 m (approx. six feet) up from the floor.

Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid

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

Note

As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers. However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there are more than one listener in the listening room. When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

●

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram.

●

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Connecting the AM loop antenna

* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Notes

●

When connecting the indoor FM antenna, insert its connector into the FM ANT terminal firmly.

●

If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

FEATURE

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The application of a sophisticated digital signal processing system reduces crosstalk and directs or steers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, as compared to conventional types.

This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for sources not with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this program, 2channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left main, center and right main), so the dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear speakers.

This program simulates the acoustic environment of a live house. An energetic sound field is created with relatively clear reflections by the wall.

In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an expansive large hall ambience.

Vocals move your heart with deep and clear reverberations. This program is suitable for slow ballads, etc. Vocals are emphasized and whole sound is clear. This program is suitable for pops. This is a small, cozy jazz club with a low ceiling. The sound is very close and intimate. This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively sound field.

Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field Programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program.

For Karaoke

For normal DSP-surround effect

English

1 Follow steps 1 – 6 shown in “BASIC OPERATIONS” on

page 19.

2 Select the desired program that is suitable for the

source.

The selected program name is shown on the display.

3 If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of

each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on page 28.)

Notes

●

If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the SUR/KARAOKE EFFECT button on the front panel or the EFFECT ON/OFF

key on the remote control transmitter. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect.

●

When LIVE HOUSE, HALL, BALLAD, POPS, JAZZ or ROCK is selected, no sound is heard from the center

speaker.

●

When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO, no sound is heard from the

main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the main speakers output the sound of the center channel.

●

When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder is used, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE control, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect.

To select a DSP program on the remote control transmitter

First turn the DSP on so that a program name appears on the display by pressing the EFFECT ON/OFF key. Next, select a desired DSP program by pressing the or side of PROGRAM key.

* Pressing the PROLOGIC or 3 STEREO key turns

the DSP on and selects the corresponding program directly.
