SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker placement

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 communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union).

30˚

60˚

80˚

SBL

More than 30 cm (12 in)

SBR

SPEAKER SETUP

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 surround 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 frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency 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.

PREPARATION

1.8 m (6 ft)

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these 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 (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.

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 farther 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 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

Note

Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers in the Sound menu (see page 61).

■ Di-pole speaker layout

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

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker connections

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

• 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 from 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.

Black: negative (–)

■ Connecting to PRESENCE/ZONE 2 or PRESENCE speaker terminals

1 Open the tab.

2 Insert one bare wire into the hole of each

terminal.

3 Return the tab to secure the wire.

PREPARATION

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together

to prevent short circuits.

3 Loosen the knob.

The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for loosening or tightening knobs.

4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

■ Banana plug connections

(With the exception of U.K., Europe and Asia models) First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

Banana plug

(With the exception of U.K., Europe and Asia models)

You can also use banana plugs with the PRESENCE/ZONE 2 and PRESENCE speaker terminals. Open the tab, then insert one banana plug connector into the hole of each terminal. Do not attempt to close the tabs after connecting the banana plugs.

AUTO SETUP

Introduction

This receiver employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening environment.

Notes

• Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output during the auto setup procedure.

• If auto setup stops and error messages appear on the screen, follow the troubleshooting on page 31.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system.

Wiring

Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of each speaker.

Distance

Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the timing of each channel.

Size

Checks the speaker’s frequency response and sets the appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel.

Equalizing

Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique sonic characteristics. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

Level

Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each speaker.

Using HD Radio

HD Radio is a new technology that enables AM and FM radio stations to broadcast programs digitally. Digital broadcasting provides listeners with radically improved audio quality and reception as well as new data services. Furthermore, supplemental program services allow listeners to select from up to 8 HD Radio programs multicast on a single FM HD Radio channel. For further information on HD Radio, visit “www.ibiquity.com”.

This unit is equipped with an HD Radio reception feature, facilitating CD quality FM broadcasts as well as analog FM stereo quality AM broadcasts. In addition, this unit can receive both audio and data (such as song titles, artist names, album names, and genres) from supplemental program services (HD1 to HD8).

™

HD Radio™ tuning

Just as for tuning into an analog FM or AM station, 2 tuning methods are available: automatic and manual.

CAUTION

This unit is capable of receiving both hybrid and all-digital HD Radio station signals. However, this unit may not automatically receive all-digital FM station signals and the automatic tuning operation may stop. In this case, select one of the preset stations, or manually tune into the FM station you want to select, then set the tuning mode back to AUTO by pressing TUNING MODE (AUTO/MAN’L).

■ HD Radio automatic tuning

Automatic tuning is effective when station signals are strong and there is no interference.

Follow steps 1 through 4 as described in “Automatic tuning” on page 41.

Both analog and digital broadcasts are received, but when tuned into an HD Radio station, the TUNED and HD indicators light up and the frequency of the received station is displayed in the front panel. If the HD indicator lights up, the broadcast being received contains an HD Radio digital signal.

■ HD Radio manual tuning

Manual tuning is recommended when station signals are weak.

Follow steps 1 through 3 as described in “Manual tuning” on page 41, then set the tuning mode back to AUTO by pressing TUNING MODE (AUTO/MAN’L).

Note

If station signals are weak, analog broadcasts will be played back instead even in the automatic tuning mode, and the HD indicator does not light up.

Selecting HD Radio™ audio programs

Use this feature to select one of the 8 HD Radio audio programs (HD1 to HD8) when the unit is in the tuner mode. Each audio program contains data programs.

Press PRG SELECT on the remote control repeatedly to toggle between HD Radio audio programs.

Press PRG SELECT again within 2 seconds to select another data program. The HD indicator may disappear from the front panel display while toggling between data programs.

Notes

• Only 1 HD Radio audio program (HD1) is available for AM broadcasts, while up to 8 audio programs (HD1 to HD8) are available for FM broadcasts.

• When reception for an audio program ceases, the HD disappears from the front panel display and HD1 is automatically selected after approximately 20 seconds.

• Some audio programs may not contain data programs depending on the broadcasting station and the time period.

• The audio programs from HD2 to HD8 can be selected only when they contain data programs.

• To record audio and video from different sources, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE, select a video source first then select an audio source (see page 39).

• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

Notes

• The source you record and the source sent to Zone 2 are always the same.

• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.

• The setting of TONE CONTROL, (see page 60) VOLUME, Speaker Level (page 65) and programs does not affect recorded material.

• A source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source component is connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal to your VCR.

• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks for recording. Likewise, analog signals input at the AUDIO IN (L/R) jacks are not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your source component is connected to provide only digital (or analog) signals, you can only record digital (or analog) signals.

• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on VCR 1 OUT.)

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

• Audio signals input from the selected i.LINK or HDMI components are output to REC OUT when REC OUT/ZONE 2 on the front panel is set to SOURCE/REMOTE or to the source you want to record. However, multi-channel DVD audio signals, DSD signals of Super Audio CD and 2-channel PCM signals over 48 kHz of sampling frequency cannot be output to REC OUT.

If you play back a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.

■ Special considerations when recording

DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. For DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience. Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to AUTO (see page 40) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

Notes

• This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in actual halls, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.

• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.

For movie/video sources

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI” can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel (stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to select sound field programs, see “Selecting sound field programs” on pages 34 and 35.

CINEMA DSP processing. Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. This effect enhances the experience of watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth using only the presence sound field.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).

CINEMA DSP processing. This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form for science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack 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.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is characterized by soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.

■ Controlling optional components (OPTN area)

OPTN is an additional component control area that can be programmed with remote control functions independently from any input source. This area is useful for programming commands that are to be used only as a part of a macro function or for components that do not have a valid remote control code. To select the OPTN control area, press n repeatedly until OPTN appears in the display window.

Notes

• You cannot set a remote control code for this area. See page 73

to program buttons operated within this component control area.

• The OPTN area cannot be used when “2001” or “2003” is

selected in the amplifier library (see page 72).

You can turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit by connecting them to the AC OUTLET(S) on the rear panel of this unit. (Power control may not be synchronized with this unit depending on the component. For details, refer to the operating instructions for the connected component.)

When the remote control code for your TV is set up for either DTV or PHONO (see page 71), you can turn on the power of your TV without selecting an input source. The remote control code set up for DTV takes priority over the one for PHONO.

When TUNER is selected as the input source, this unit plays the last station received before the unit was set in the standby mode.

Playback can be started for any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorder, CD player, CD recorder, DVD player, or DVD recorder. When using macros to operate other components, you will need to program the play button on the control area of that component (see page 73) or set a remote control code (see page 71).

ZONE 2/ZONE 3

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 features enable you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3). You can control this unit from the second or third room using the supplied remote control.

Only analog signals are sent to the second and third rooms. Any source you want to listen to in the second or third room must be connected using the analog (AUDIO L/R) input jacks on this unit.

Zone 2/Zone 3 connections

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:

• An infrared signal receiver in the second and/or third room.

• An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second and/or third room to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).

• An amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room.

• A video monitor for the second room.

■ Special considerations for DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second/third room you will only hear digital noise (that may damage your speakers). Thus, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made when playing DTS encoded discs.

For DVDs encoded with DTS

Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the second/third room. Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

For CDs encoded in DTS

To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

USING i.LINK

USING I.LINK

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a high-speed and bi-directional digital interface in compliance with a global standard approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

i.LINK enables i.LINK-compatible components to send and receive digital audio signals (bitstreams such as Dolby Digital, and DTS; 2-channel linear PCM signals; DSD signals of Super Audio CD) over a single i.LINK cable.

You can process audio signals by selecting between the DSD Direct mode where DSD signals are directly output to DSD-compatible audio DAC and the DSD mode where DSD signals are changed to PCM signals to ensure rich sound fields.

i.LINK currently supports three different data transfer rates: 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and 400 Mbps.

This unit supports hot plugging, a function that allows you to disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable while the power is turned on.

This unit’s i.LINK interface was based on the following design standards:

• IEEE1394 Std 1394a-2000 (Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus)

• A&M Protocol (Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.1)

• DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection)

Connecting i.LINK components

■ Daisy chain connections

Use to link components together in a single chain. You can link up to 17 different components (including this unit) with this method.

Maximum single cable length: 4.5 m (14.75 ft)

■ Tree connections

Use to link components in a branched configuration when 3 or more i.LINK connectors are available. You can link up to 63 different components (including this unit) with this method.

component

Notes

• When making connections, use a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable that supports the S400 transmission speed. We also recommend using a cable less than 3.5 m (10 ft) in length.

• The system will not work if components are connected in a loop (where the output signal is returned to the original component).

• This unit does not output signals not input at the i.LINK jacks.

• Because the data transfer rates may vary depending on the arrangement order of i.LINK components, it is advised that you link i.LINK components with the same data transfer rates.

• Do not disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable from this unit or other i.LINK components while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.

• When connecting the IEEE1394 cable to this unit’s i.LINK connectors, be sure to confirm the orientation of the connector before connecting the cable. Using excessive force to connect the cable to the connector in the wrong orientation will damage the connector.

• Do not turn the power of i.LINK components on or off while data is transferred. Doing so may stop playback. If this happens, turn this unit to standby mode, and then turn it back on.

• Other i.LINK components connected to this unit need to support DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection).

• This unit supports i.LINK (AUDIO) components only. Because this unit does not support i.LINK (VIDEO), video signals, such as MPEG2-TS (BS digital, etc.) or DV (DV camera, DVD recorder, etc.), are not compatible with this unit.

• If this unit is in the standby mode or turned off, signals cannot be output to the next i.LINK component.

USING i.LINK

Basic i.LINK operations

■ Assigning i.LINK components

When an i.LINK component is connected, this unit automatically recognizes the connection and registers up to 16 i.LINK components. Assigning an i.LINK component to a specific input allows you to select video and audio input signals from that component received via the i.LINK connection for simultaneous playback.

Turn on the power of this unit and the connected i.LINK component.

The i.LINK component is automatically recognized and registered in the following order: DVD → DTV → CBL/SAT → VCR1 → DVR/VCR2 → V-AUX → PHONO → CD → CD-R → MD/TAPE “LINK CHECK” flashes on the front panel display during this procedure.

Notes

• If you want to change the input assignment of a registered i.LINK component, use Input Assign in the GUI menu (see page 93) or INPUT ASSIGN in the front panel display system options menu (see page 90).

• Only one i.LINK component is assigned to each input and inputs that are already assigned are skipped.

• If i.LINK components are assigned to all the inputs available, no more i.LINK components can be assigned, and audio signals input from these i.LINK components cannot be played back on this unit.

■ Listening to playback from i.LINK

components

If an i.LINK component has been assigned to a specific input, perform the following steps to listen to playback from the registered i.LINK component.

1 Rotate the INPUT selector to select the input

assigned to the i.LINK component.

Notes

• You can turn on/off automatic playback when an i.LINK component is selected using the INPUT selector or to select whether you want the input to switch automatically when an input stream from a connected i.LINK component is detected (see page 93).

• Audio signals input at the i.LINK jacks are digitally output only when AUDIO SELECT is set to either AUTO or i.LINK as the input mode and REC OUT/ZONE 2 on the front panel is set to SOURCE/REMOTE.

REGIST. OVER

The 1394 bus transmission band is full, and no more data can be transmitted.

The connected i.LINK component is not recognized because the connection is incomplete.

This unit and the i.LINK component are connected in a loop (where the output signal is returned to the original component).

More than 63 i.LINK components (including this unit) are connected.

More than 15 i.LINK components are connected in a daisy chain configuration.

A new i.LINK component is connected to this unit while 16 i.LINK components are already registered. This unit can register up to 16 i.LINK components.

This problem may be resolved by disconnecting any unused i.LINK components.

If an i.LINK component with a slow transmission speed (S100 or S200) is connected between this unit and the i.LINK (AUDIO) component which you want to play back, the bus may become full. Changing the connection order of the i.LINK components so that this unit and the i.LINK (AUDIO) component are directly connected may resolve this problem.

Check that all i.LINK components are connected properly using an IEEE1394 cable.

Disconnect the IEEE1394 cable, then reconnect it in either a daisy chain or tree configuration.

Reduce the number of connected components.

Reduce the number of i.LINK components connected between the two end components to 15 or less.

Reconnect the i.LINK components using tree-type connections.

Delete any unused registered i.LINK components from the registered components list and reconnect the i.LINK component you want to register. See “Changing i.LINK Select parameters” on page 92.

USING HDMI

What is HDMI?

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital A/V (audio/ video) interface.

Providing an interface between any A/V source (such as a set-top box or A/V receiver) and an audio/video monitor (such as a digital television – DTV), HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as multi-channel digital audio using a single cable.

HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of content providers and system operators.

For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at “http://www.hdmi.org/”.

This unit’s HDMI interface is based on the following standards:

• HDMI 1.1 (High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Version 1.1) licensed by HDMI Licensing, LLC.

• HDCP 1.1 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System Revision 1.1) licensed by Digital Content Protection, LLC.

Notes

• Video or audio signals input at audio input jacks other than the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack.

• Connect the HDMI OUT jack of other components (such as a DVD player) to the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack of this unit. Connect the HDMI OUT jack of this unit to the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack of other components (such as a projector).

• You need a commercially available HDMI cable to connect this unit to other HDMI-compatible components. Use a HDMI cable shorter than 5 m (15 ft) to ensure stable operations and to prevent losses of video quality.

• This unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or DVI components.

• Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack this unit to other DVI components.

• Digital video signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output from analog video output jacks.

• GUI displays or analog video signals input at video input jacks cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack. To display analog video signals, connect them to analog video output jacks.

USING HDMI

• Audio signals input at input jacks other than the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 of this unit cannot be digitally output at the HDMI OUT jack.

• This unit is not compatible with multi-stereo area audio signals of Super Audio CDs. You can connect devices (such as a DVD player) to the i.LINK jack or the MULTI CH INPUT jacks.

• When connected to a DVD player, audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the DVD player. In case the DVD player connected to this unit does not output DVD multichannel audio signals at the HDMI OUT jack, connect the DVD player to the i.LINK jack or analog multi-channel audio input jacks.

• When CPPM copy-protected DVD audio plays back, video and audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the DVD player.

• Video and audio signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack when this unit is set to the standby mode or the power is turned off.

• When connecting other HDMI components to this unit, refer to the instruction manuals for those components.

• When HDMI audio signals are output from components like a DVD player, the audio signal format (such as sampling frequencies) may be restricted depending on the HDMI video signal format.

• Do not disconnect or connect the HDMI cable from this unit or turn off the power of the HDMI/DVI components connected to the HDMI OUT jack of this unit while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.
