PREPARATION

Preparing remote control

Installing batteries in the remote control

1 Take off the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert the two supplied batteries (AAA, R03,

UM-4) according to the polarity markings (+ and –) on the inside of the battery compartment.

3 Snap the battery compartment cover back

into place.

Notes

• Change all batteries if you notice the following conditions: – the operation range of the remote control narrows – the transmit indicator does not flash or is dim

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

This may shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries to leak.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Specification of batteries may be different even though they look the same.

• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately, taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse it away immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

• Dispose of the old batteries correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 2 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote control, the contents of the memory may be cleared. In such a case, install new batteries and set the remote control code.

Using the remote control

The remote control transmits a directional infrared ray. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on this unit during operation.

■ Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)

The front speakers are used for the front channel sounds (stereo sound) and effect sounds. Place these speakers at

an equal distance from the ideal listening position. When using a screen, the appropriate top positions of the speakers are about 1/4 of the screen from the bottom.

■ Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). Place it halfway between the left and right speakers. When using a TV, place the speaker just above or just under the center of the TV with the front surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned. When using a screen, place it just under the center of the screen.

■ Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.

Place them at the rear left and rear right facing the listening position. To obtain a natural sound flow in the 5.1-channel speaker layout, place them slightly further back than in the 7.1channel speaker layout.

■ Surround back left and right speakers (SBL

and SBR) / Surround back speaker (SB)

The surround back left and right speakers are used for rear

effect sounds. When using the surround back speakers, connect an external amplifier to the SURROUND BACK jacks of the PRE OUT terminals. Place them at the rear of the room facing the listening position at least 30 cm away from each other, ideally at the same distance as that between the front left and right speakers. In the 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and

right channel sound signals are mixed down and output from the single surround back speaker.

In the 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and right channel sound signals are output from the surround left and right speakers.

■ Subwoofer (SW)

The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and lowfrequency effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital and DTS signals. Use a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System. Place it exterior to the front left and right speakers facing slightly inward to reduce reflections from a wall.
