PREPARATION

Speakers to Be Used

SPEAKER SETUP

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound­field quality with an 8-speaker system, using left and right main speakers, left and right rear speakers, left and right front effect speakers and a center and rear center speakers. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.
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, vocals, etc.). The front effect speakers are used for the effect sound. 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.
The main speakers should be high-performance models and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use the models of equivalent performance with the main speakers.
Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.
CAUTION
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

Speaker Placement

SPEAKER SETUP
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Front effect speaker (R)
Center speaker
Front effect speaker (L)
Subwoofer
Main speaker (L)
Main speakers
Place the left and right main speakers 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
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor and centrally between the main speakers.
Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Rear speaker (R)
Main speaker (R)
1.8 m (6 feet)
Rear center speaker
Rear speaker (L)
Rear center speaker
Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers.
Front effect speakers
Place the front effect speakers about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 feet) outside the main speakers and in front of the room, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Subwoofer
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 main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

SPEAKER SETUP

Connecting the Speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
CAUTION
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.
Speaker cables
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of the cables is colored or
10 mm (3/8”)
shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.
1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8) of
12
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals
Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–)

Connecting Audio Components

Connecting to digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
y
You can designate the input for each digital jacks according to your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page 67 for details).
About the dust protection cap
Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.
Notes
DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.
The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard, this unit may not function properly.
Connecting a CD player
y
The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a CD player which has coaxial or optical digital output jacks.
When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL CD jack.
Connecting an MD recorder, tape
deck or CD recorder
y
DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) are independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.
When you connect your recording component to both the analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given to the digital signal.
Note
When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other components.
Connecting a turntable
PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to these jacks.
y
Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However you may hear less noise without the connection to the GND terminal for some record players.
