Introduction
Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV receivers available. Some of the more advanced features may not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in theaters around the world.
To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
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 the chances are that 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 to your listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately re-create any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.

Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround has been used in movie theaters since the midseventies. It has also been available in home entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.
Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.
5
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the next level of the Dolby Surround sound system that was developed for 35 mm-film movies by employing low bit-rate audio coding.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.
Compared to Dolby Surround, which is referred to a “3/1” system (left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full-range fidelity as the three front channels.
DTS Digital Surround
By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Digital theater sound in your home.
The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five fullrange channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before.
Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as already mentioned, but it can also form fewer channels, for example 2-channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2-channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby Digital in the market.
Laser disc and DVD are home audio/video program sources that could benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) was developed to replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and it is now installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio.
DTS technology, through intense research and development has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which
delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it is 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as “0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems.
The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the six channels of 20-bit audio on to some laser discs, compact discs and DVDs with considerably less data compression.
By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTSinstalled theater’s high quality sound in your home.
Laser disc, compact disc and DVD are home audio formats by which DTS can present its high-quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on laser discs, many exciting new multichannel music recordings will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater.
However, YAMAHA DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround sounds.
CINEMA DSP
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround or DTS.
Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic-decoded sound field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize the surround effect in the room, letting you feel as much presence as if you were watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.
Refer to pages 37 to 38 for the DSP program.
Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digitaldecoded or DTS-decoded sound field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and strong surround effect in the room without losing high-channel separation. With the wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Digital theater or DTS-installed theater. This is the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.
Refer to pages 37 to 38 for the DSP program.

SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker.
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) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source that is Dolby Digital or DTS-decoded. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
|
Main: |
The position of your present stereo speaker |
|
|
system. |
|
Rear: |
Behind your listening position, facing slightly |
|
|
inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) up from the |
Main |
|
floor. |
speaker (R) |
|
|
|
Center: |
Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid |
Subwoofer |
|
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically |
|
shielded speaker.) |
|
|
Rear |
|
Center speaker |
|
|
speaker (R) |
|
|
|
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not as critical, |
|
Main |
|
because low bass tones are not highly directional. |
speaker (L) |
|
|
Rear speaker
(L)
Note: If the center speaker (principally, it reproduces dialog, vocals, etc.) is not used, the sound will be output from the left and right main speakers. In that case, be sure to select the NONE position for “CNTR” in the SET MENU mode. (See page 19 for details.)

Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections have been completed.
CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER COMPONENTS
Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.
When making connections between this unit and other components, be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each component to be connected to this unit.
*If you have YAMAHA components numbered as !, #, $, etc. on the rear panel, connections can be made easily by making sure to connect the output (or input) terminals of each component to the same-numbered terminals of this unit.

results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (COAXIAL AND/OR OPTICAL) TERMINALS
If your DVD (LD) player, TV/DBS tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals.
Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are necessary, especially for an LD player or a DVD player, to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to this unit.
To make a connection between optical digital audio signal terminals, remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the COAXIAL (or OPTICAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with the same-named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit. You can easily switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and “analog.” (See page 26 for details.)
DVD or LD player*
*If your LD player has a Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal, be sure to use the RF demodulator (separately purchased).
Notes
•When connecting an audio/video unit to both the digital and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect between both terminals of the same name.
•Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not being used in order to protect them from dust.
•The input signal from the DVD/LD input terminals is selected in the following order of priority with the input mode set to the AUTO position:
1 COAXIAL terminal
2 OPTICAL terminal
3 Analog terminal
•If the DIGITAL OUT data of the player has been processed in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS playback even if you make a digital connection between this unit and the player.
•All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
No sound will be generated when connecting your LD player’s Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal directly to this unit’s COAXIAL DVD/LD digital signal input terminal.

If you have a VCR and a monitor equipped with “S” (highresolution) video terminals, those terminals can be connected to this unit’s S VIDEO terminals. Connect the VCR’s “S” video input and output terminals to this unit’s S VIDEO VCR OUT and IN terminals, respectively, and connect the monitor’s “S” video input terminal to this unit’s S VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal. Otherwise, connect the VCR’s composite video terminals to this unit’s composite video terminals, and connect the monitor’s composite video input terminal to this unit’s composite
MONITOR OUT terminal.
In addition, if you have a DVD or LD player equipped with an “S” video terminal, connect the DVD/LD player’s “S” video output terminal to this unit’s S VIDEO DVD/LD terminal.
Note
If video signals are sent to both S VIDEO input and composite input terminals, the signals will be sent to their respective output terminals.

How to connect
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage the unit and/or speakers.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be correctly connected to the designated terminals, referring to the following diagram.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
Outdoor * You may be unable to obtain good FM radio
FM antenna reception depending on your local conditions (distance from the broadcast
station, interposing buildings and
mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or
authorized service center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local conditions.
Install the special FM outdoor antenna in a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid being affected by automobile ignition noise.
