The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R*
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,
multi-channel audio sources and THX.
* ITU-R is the radio commtmication sector of the ITU
(International Teleconmmnication Union).
More than 30 cm (t2 in)
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.
Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround
speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back
transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the
listening position and at the same height as the sun'ound
speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in)
apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width
as the front speakers.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass fi'equencies fi'om any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low-
frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. 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
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.
Presence speakers (PR and PL)
Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front
speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA
DSP (see page 48). These effects include sounds that
filmmakers intend to locate a little fi_rther back behind the
screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place
these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 1 m
(1 3 R) outside the front speakers, facing slightly
inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The l_ont speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance fi'om
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel 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. Align the front
face of the center speaker with the front face of your video
monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.
Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound
simultaneousl?: You can set to prioritize either set of speakers in
the Sound menu (see page 61).

Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used
for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please
place the sun'ound and sun'ound back speakers according
to the speaker layout below.

Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),

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.

• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set
this unit's speaker impedance setting to
6 ohms before using (see page 26). If you will
use 8 ohm speakers, use this unit's initial
setting for speaker impedance.
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this
unit is disconnected from the power source.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or
do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This
could damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speaker still creates interference with the monitor,
place the speakers away fi'om the monitor.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped
differently+ perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the '%" (red)
terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the .... (black) terminals.

The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for
loosening or tightening knobs.
4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

• Analog jacks
You can input analog signals from audio components by
connecting audio pin cables to the analog jacks on this
unit. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs
to the left jacks.
• Digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks lbr 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
signals input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks
are compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus
audio signals inpnt at the analog jacks are only output at the
analog OUT (REC)jacks. Likewise audio signals inpnt at the
digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only outpnt at the
DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

a low-output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting
transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to
these jacks.

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.
• Connecting to an external amplifier
If you want to increase the power output to the speakers,
or want to use another amplifier, connect an external
amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks as follows.
• Connecting i.LINK components
If you have a component with an i.LINK connector, you
can enjoy digital audio from CD, DVD, Super Audio CD
and DVD-A discs.
For details on i.LINK, see "USING i.LINK" on page 91.
• When audio pin plugs are cmmected to the PRE OUT jacks for
output to an external amplifier, it is not necessary to use the
corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. Set the volume of the
external amplifier connected to this unit to the maxinmln.
• The signal output at the FRONT Pl_ OUT and CENTER PILE
