PREPARATION

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. 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 manufacture 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.). 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 highperformance models that can reproduce sounds over the full range for the center speaker and the rear 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 playing back a source encoded with Dolby Digital. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Main speaker (L)

Center speaker

■ Main speakers

Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the same.

■ Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the floor.

■ Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your TV 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.

Note

• If the center speaker is not used, the sound will be heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 32 for details.)

Main speaker (R)

Rear speaker (R)

Subwoofer

1.8 m

Rear speaker (L)

■ 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.

CAUTION

Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically shielded speakers.

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been completed.

Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each component to be connected to this unit.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products.

Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.

The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

Yellow video signals (composite)

White analog audio signals for the left channel

Red analog audio signals for the right channel

coaxial digital signals

After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theaterlike experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to).

When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dobly Pro Logic and Dolby Digital) is turned on according to which type of signals the source being played contains.

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 re-creations of actual acoustic environments.

The realization of a highly efficient decoding process improves cross talk and channel separation, and makes sound positioning smoother and more precise. In this program, the digital sound field processor is not turned on.

This program ideally simulates the multisurround speaker systems of the 35 mm-film movie theater. Dolby Pro Logic decoding or Dolby Digital decoding and digital sound field processing are precisely performed without altering the original sound orientation. The surround effect produced by the sound field folds around the viewer naturally from the rear to the right and left and toward the screen.

Clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround and Dolby Digitalencoded software employing the most advanced techniques.

Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The data for the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence, so the threedimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data for the sound field of a concert hall on the surround sound field, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with strong presence.

This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track film, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The front presence of the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

SET MENU

Description of Each Item

1. CENTER SP

Choices: LRG (Large)/SML (Small)/NONE Preset position: LRG (Large)

LRG (Large)

Select this position if your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers. In this position, fullrange signals on the center channel are directed to the center speaker.

SML (Small)

Select this position if you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position).

NONE

Select this position if you do not have a center speaker (4-speaker system). In this position, full-range signals on the center channel are directed to the right and left main speakers.

2. REAR SP

Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE

LARGE

Select this position if your rear speakers have high ability for bass reproduction, or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel to the rear speaker. In this position, full-range signals on the rear channels are directed to the rear speakers.

SMALL

Select this position if your rear speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position).

3. MAIN SP

Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE

LARGE

Select this position if your main speakers have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, full-range signals on the main channels are directed to the right and left main speakers.

SMALL

Select this position if your main speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “BASS OUT” is set to the SW or BOTH position.

4. BASS OUT

Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH Preset position: BOTH

Select this position if your system includes a subwoofer. In this position, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are distributed from other channels are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal when playing a source encoded with Dobly Digital.

Note

• When playing a 2-channel source (tape, MD, CD, video cassette etc.), select the BOTH position to direct low bass signals (below 90 Hz) to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminals.

MAIN

Select this position if your system does not include a subwoofer. In this position, besides full-range signals on the main channels, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals (below 90 Hz) that are distributed from other channels are directed to the right and left main speakers.

BOTH

Select this position if your system includes a subwoofer. In this position, signals on the LFE channel are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. Low bass signals on the main channels are directed to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

Page 37

SET MENU

5. MAIN LVL

Choices: NORM (Normal)/–10 dB Preset position: NORM (Normal)

NORM (Normal)

Normally select this position.

–10 dB

Select this position if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.

Notes

• The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and “BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.

• Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do not have to change any settings unless your speaker system is modified.

6. D.D. LFE (Adjusting the output

level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps) Preset value: 0 dB

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contains LFE signals.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

7. D-RANGE (Adjusting the dynamic range)

Choices: MAX/STD (Standard)/MIN Preset position: MAX

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded.

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending on the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However, at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noise in your environment. Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the sound data.

MAX

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard)

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source that is suitable for low-level listening.

MIN

In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source at a low level.

Note

• It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally

depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position.

8. CNTR DELAY (Adjusting the delay of the center sound)

Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms steps) Preset value: 0 ms

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contains center channel signals.

This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main channels) and dialog, etc. (on the center channel). The larger the value, the later the dialog, etc. is generated.

This makes sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the right and left main speaker to your listening position.

9. MEM. GUARD (Locking the settings)

Choices: ON/OFF Preset position: OFF

If you wish to prevent accidental alterations to the settings of the SET MENU and other adjustments on this unit, select the ON position. The following settings on this unit can be locked:

• Settings of other items in the SET MENU

• Settings in the TIME/LEVEL mode

• Settings when using TEST

10.SAT INPUT (Selecting the initial input mode for a source connected to the SAT/D-TV input terminals)

Choices: AUTO/LAST Preset position: AUTO

AUTO

In this position, the input mode is always set to AUTO.

DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder or Dolby Digital decoder, you can adjust the delay time between the main sound and sound effect, and each speaker’s output level as you wish.

Delay Time

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value, the later the sound effect is generated. The delay time can be individually adjusted to all DSP programs.

Notes

• Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some sources.

• The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay time.

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of each speaker even if it has already been adjusted in “ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE” on pages 17 and 18.

Notes

• The sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted when the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2-channel.

• If “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because the center channel sound is automatically output from the right and left main speakers.

• Once the sound output level has been adjusted, the level will be the same for all DSP programs.

GLOSSARY

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total. The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before.

■ CINEMA DSP

The Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital sound systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater. However, YAMAHA DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital. The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital.

CINEMA DSP

■ LFE 0.1 Channel

This channel is for reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is called the channel 0.1 because it only reproduces a low frequency range compared to the full-range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz that is reproduced by the 5 channels in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel system.
