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 to ensure even 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 high-
performance 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 or DTS. 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 (R)
Center speaker
Main
speaker (L)
Subwoofer
Rear speaker (L)
Rear speaker (R)
1.8 m
■ 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 NON position.
■ 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
Please use magnetically shielded speakers.
Sometimes a video monitor may be adversely affected
even when magnetically shielded speakers are used.
Separate the speakers from the monitor if this happens.

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 jacks with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc.
Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.
The input and output jacks 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.

■ Notes on playing a source
encoded with a DTS signal
• If the digital output data of the player has been processed
in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS
decoding even if you make a digital connection between
this unit and the player.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set
the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces the
noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to
play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to a
digital input jack and set the input mode to AUTO or
DTS.
• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while playing
a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces
no sound.
• The following phenomena may occur if the input mode
is set to AUTO when playing back a source encoded with
DTS:
– If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS
signal, this unit automatically switches to the “DTS-
decoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated
during subsequent operation. (The “t” indicator
lights up on the display.) The “t” indicator may flash
immediately after playback of a source encoded with a
DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a
DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is
flashing. (The indicator will flash for less than a minute.)
If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the
input mode back to AUTO.
– The “t” indicator may flash when a search or skip
operation is performed. If this status continues for a
certain length of time, the unit will automatically switch
from the “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal
input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.
Input Modes and Indications
When using the remote control, press AMP(TUNER) on
the component selector.
This unit comes with various input jacks. If your component
is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set
the priority of the input signal.
Press INPUT MODE (or the input selector
button that you have pressed to select the
input source on the remote control) repeatedly
until the desired input mode is shown on the
display.
PLAYING A SOURCE
Front panel
or
Remote control
Input mode
AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is
automatically selected in the following
order:
1) Dolby Digital or DTS signal
2) Digital (PCM) signal
3) Analog signal
DTS: In this mode, only the digital input
signal encoded with DTS is selected
even if another signal is input at the
same time.
ANALOG (ANLG): In this mode, only the analog input
signal is selected even if a digital
signal is input at the same time.
Notes
• If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and
OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack is
selected.
• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the
type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal,
the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and
reproduces 5.1 channel source.
• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD players and
DVD players in the following situation:
When the input mode has been set to AUTO and a search is
performed while playing the source encoded with a Dolby Digital
or DTS signal, the sound may delay for a moment when playback
is resumed.
• Depending on the LD player, playback may not be made when
playing an LD that is not digitally recorded with the input mode
set to AUTO. If this happens, set the input mode to ANALOG.

and DSP program are memorized and are automatically selected
when you turn on the power again.
• If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode is
set to AUTO, the DSP program automatically switches to the
appropriate decoding program.
• When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/
NORMAL or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED, no sound will be heard
from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be
heard from the center speaker. However, if “CENTER SP” in the
SET MENU is set to NON, the center channel sound is output
from the main speakers.
• When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jack of this unit is
selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.
• When 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit, the
DSP program cannot be selected. In this case, the sound is
reproduced as normal 2-channel stereo.

Virtual CINEMA DSP
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the sound field
effects of the DSP program without rear speakers. Using
YAMAHA original technology, natural surround
reproduction is possible through the generation of a virtual
speaker.
The sound field processing is changed to the Virtual
CINEMA DSP mode by setting “REAR LR SP” on the SET
MENU to NON. Virtual CINEMA DSP is performed by
using the main speakers.
Note
• This unit is not set in the Virtual CINEMA DSP mode even if
“REAR LR SP” is set to NON in the following cases:
– when the 5CH STEREO, PRO LOGIC/NORMAL, DOLBY
DIGITAL/NORMAL or DTS/NORMAL program is selected;
– when the sound effect is turned off;
– when 6CH INPUT is selected as the input source;
– when 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit;
– when the Dolby Digital KARAOKE source is played;
– when using the test tone; or
– when connecting the headphones (you will hear SILENT
CINEMA).
SILENT CINEMA
SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy the realistic feel of
the DSP program while using headphones. This feature
delivers powerful surround reproduction just as if listening
through the speakers.
You can listen to SILENT CINEMA by connecting your
headphones to the PHONES jack while the effect speakers
are on.

and output from the main speakers.
• If you turn off the sound effect when Dolby Digital or DTS is
decoding, it may happen that the sound is output faintly or not
output normally, depending on the source. In that case, turn back
on the sound effect.

Press the button again if the tuning search does not stop
at the desired station.
y
• Use the manual tuning method if the tuning search does not stop
at the desired station (because the signal from the station is weak).
• When tuned in to a station, the “TUNED” indicator lights up and
the frequency of the received station is shown on the display. If an
RDS station that offers the PS data service is being received, the
station name is shown instead of the frequency on the display.
Manual Tuning
If the signal from the station you want to select is weak, you
must tune in to it manually.
1 Use INPUT l / h to select
TUNER as input source.
2 Press FM/AM to select the reception band (FM
or AM).
“FM” or “AM” appears on the display.

TUNING
Automatic Preset Tuning (for RDS
stations only)
You can make use of the automatic preset tuning function
for RDS stations only. This function enables the unit to
automatically tune in with strong signals and to sequentially
store up to 40 RDS stations (5 groups x 8 stations).
1 Press FM/AM to select the FM band.
2 Press TUNING MODE (AUTO/MAN’L MONO) so
that the “AUTO” indicator lights up on the
display.
3 Hold down MEMORY (MAN’L/AUTO FM) for
about 3 seconds.
The preset number, the “MEMORY” and “AUTO”
indicators flash. After about 5 seconds, automatic
preset tuning begins from the frequency currently
displayed toward the higher frequencies.
Received stations are sequentially stored as A1, A2 ...
A8. If more than 8 stations have been tuned, they are
stored as preset station numbers in other groups (B, C,
D and E) in that order.
■ Automatic preset tuning options
You can select the preset number from which the unit will
store RDS stations and/or begin tuning toward lower
frequencies. Before automatic preset tuning begins (after
pressing MEMORY in step 3),
1. Press A/B/C/D/E and PRESET/TUNING l or h to
select the preset number with which the first station will
be stored. The automatic preset tuning will stop when
stations have all been stored up to E8.
2. Press PRESET/TUNING (EDIT) to turn “ z ” off and
then press PRESET/TUNING l to begin tuning toward
lower frequencies.
■ When automatic preset tuning is
completed
The display shows the frequency of the last preset station.
Check the contents and the number of preset stations by
following the procedure in the section “To Recall a Preset
Station” on page 29.
Notes
• A new setting can be stored in place of the former one.
• The reception mode is stored along with the station frequency.
• You can manually replace a preset station with another FM or AM
station by simply using the manual preset tuning method.
• Automatic preset tuning will be performed for all RDS network
stations until all have been stored up to E8. Even if the number of
received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, automatic
preset tuning is automatically ended after searching for all
stations.
• Only RDS stations with sufficient signal strength are stored by
automatic preset tuning. If the station you want to store is weak in
signal strength, tune in to it manually in monaural mode and store
it by using the manual preset tuning method. (There may be a
case that this unit cannot receive a station which could be
received by using the automatic tuning method. This is because
this unit receives a large amount of PI (Program Identification)
data along with the station.)
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data
from being lost when this unit is set in the standby mode.
If, however, the power cord is disconnected from the AC
power outlet or the power is cut for more than one week,
the memory will be erased. If so, store the stations again
by using preset tuning methods.
