PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha RX-V470 stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital
Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital
audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when
setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments –movie
theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in
Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Rather than tell you about the wonders of digital sound field processing, however, let’s get right down to the business of setting
up the system and trying out its many capabilities. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for
later reference.

ENGLISH

Digital Sound Field Processing

What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s
advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get
extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but
chances are you’ll still notice something missing: the
acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive
research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that
create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for
Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your
own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live
concert.
What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to
capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an
actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately
recreate one of several actual live performance
environments, all in your own home.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you
experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby
Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro
Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering
logic circuitry, which provides greater effective channel
separation for a much higher degree of realism than the
“passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in today’s typical
home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround
provides a true center channel, so that there are four
independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround
which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear.
This center channel allows listeners seated in even less­than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from
action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital
signal processing system. This system increases sound
stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between
channels compared to conventional analog Dolby signal
processing.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input
balance control. This circuit always presents you the best
surround conditions without performing manual
adjustments.

“ENHANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The RX-V470 has a second mode of Dolby Pro Logic
Surround processing called “Enhanced Dolby Pro Logic
Surround” processing. Enhanced Dolby Pro Logic
Surround processing recreates the surround effect of a
movie theater, effectively duplicating its multiple surround
loudspeaker system, completely surrounding the listener
with the sounds of the action taking place on the screen.

SPEAKER SETTING UP FOR THIS UNIT

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality
with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used
with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers,
and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker.
Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the output of the main
source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be
the speakers of your present stereo speaker system. The
rear speakers are used for the output of the effect sound.
And the center speaker is used for the output of the center
sound (dialog etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The
rear and center speakers do not need to be equal in power
to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should
have high enough power handling to accept the maximum
output of this unit.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and is the one that is
recommended. In this configuration, the center speaker is
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the digital sound
field program is in DOLBY PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED
mode conversations will be output from the center speaker
and the ambience will be excellent.
÷ Set the center mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position.

(For details, refer to page 11.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The recommanded speaker configuration, the 5-speaker
configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers
(your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a
center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to
the following.

Center

Front R

Rear L

Front: In normal position. (The position of your present

stereo speaker system.)

Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly

inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.

Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid

interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker. If, however, it is not effective,
keep the speaker away from TV sets.)

Rear L

Surround sound

Rear R

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or
ENHANCED mode, the center sound is output from the left
and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
÷ Be sure to set the center mode to the “PHANTOM”

position. (For details, refer to page 11.)

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor, which allows you to expand and shape the
audio sound field from both the audio and video sources, for a theater-like experience in the listening/viewing room.
This digital sound field processor has 6 programs, including 2 programs for the Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound system (Ÿ
PRO LOGIC and ENHANCED). You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting the suitable program and adding
desired adjustments. In addition, when the digital sound field program is in the Ÿ PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED mode, the built­in automatic input balance control functions. This presents you the best surround condition without adjusting it manually.
÷ To use the DSP function, it is necessary to adjust the sound output level balance between the front, rear and/or center

speakers beforehand. (Refer to "ADJUSTMENT BEFORE OPERATION".)

This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound
source more smoothly and precisely, compared to the conventional type. A stable movie sound field
is recreated.

This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker
systems of a 35 mm film theater, thus widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence.

This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals. For opera,
the orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall.

This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly
mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair,
lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono
movies, news broadcasts and dialog.

This program is suitable for rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically.

In this program, the center seems even more deeply behind the front speaker pair, creating an
expansive, large hall ambience.

Notes on Operation of Sound Field Programs

÷ In the CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK

CONCERT and CONCERT HALL modes, no sound is
heard from the center speaker.

÷ When a monaural sound source is played in the DOLBY

PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED mode, no sound is heard
from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is
heard only from the center speaker. However, if the
center mode is in the PHANTOM, the front speakers
output the sound of the center speaker.

÷ When this unit is in the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode, if

the main-source sound is considerably altered by
overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE controls, the
relationship between the center and rear channels may
produce an unnatural effect.

FEATURE

Description of ŸDolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system.
This system is similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders
used in movie theaters.
By employing a four-channel system, the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround system divides the input signals into four levels:
the left and right main channels, the center channel (to
characterize dialog), and the rear surround-sound channels
(to characterize sound effects, background noise and other
ambient noise).

Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of
commercially available video cassettes and video discs as
well. When you play a source encoded with Dolby
Surround on your home video system, the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround mode on this unit decodes the signal and feeds
the surround-sound effects.
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always
effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby
Surround.
