The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Make sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

FEATURES ON SOUND EFFECT

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 8 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and Dolby Digital decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of the YAMAHA DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital decoder.

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 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 home.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging.

Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

Dolby Digital

The built-in Dolby Digital decoder leads you into a totally new sound experiences.

Dolby Digital is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of low bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to consumers. In multi-channel form, 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), plus 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 channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that 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.

Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie possesses.

LD and DVD are home audio formats 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 Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect of Dolby Digital become the most suitable for your audio system and the listening conditions.

•Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.

•Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminal to maximize system performance.

•Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminal to maximize system performance.

Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is much different from those of a movie theater.

YAMAHA DSP technology made it possible to present you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA DSP technology.

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 Surround-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the room, letting you feel much presence as if you are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

This combination is available when the sound field program

DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPORTS is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channel.

Dolby Digital + 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 sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and much surround effect in the room without losing high channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the sound field program

DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPORTS is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (except in 2-chan- nel).

SPEAKER SETUP

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.

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 in 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 and amplifier. 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 with the Dolby Digital decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. When playing back a source using the DSP program,

DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program with the Dolby Digital decoded, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

Note: Set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the “LARGE” or “SMALL” position. (For details, see page 20.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. When playing back a source using the DSP program, DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/ DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/ DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program with the Dolby Digital decoded, the center sound is output from the left and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs will be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

Note: Be sure to set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the “NONE” position. (For details, see page 20.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

When you place the speakers, refer to the following diagram:

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 floor.

Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

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 this unit and/or speakers.

OUTPUT TERMINALS (FOR DRIVING SPEAKERS WITH EXTERNAL AMPLIFIERS)

MAIN OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the main channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive the main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

*Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, and BALANCE.

However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal.

If you are placing two center speakers on each side of the TV, use two amplifiers and connect each amplifier to one of the two CENTER OUTPUT terminals. Then connect the center speakers to the amplifiers.

REAR (SURROUND) OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the rear channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive the rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal

This terminal is for connecting to the input terminal of an amplifier for driving a subwoofer.

When the input signals to this unit are in normal 2-channel stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 90 Hz from the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.

CENTER OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the center channel line output. There is

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR SWITCH

WARNING

Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch setting while the power of this unit is on, otherwise this unit may be damaged.

IF THIS UNIT FAILS TO TURN ON WHEN THE STANDBY/ ON SWITCH IS PRESSED, the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be fully set to either end. If so, set the switch to either end fully.

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR

(Europe model)

Select the position whose requirements your speaker system meets.

(Upper position)

Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

Center: The impedance of the speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

(Lower position)

Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 16Ω or higher.

Center: The impedance of the speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

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.

Orient so that the best reception is obtained.

*The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.

*The AM loop antenna always should be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND TERMINAL

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Notes

•When connecting the indoor FM antenna, insert its connector into

the FM ANT terminal firmly.

• If you need an outdoor FM antenna

to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations

troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT

SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES

This unit provides you the following five functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for your audio system. When speaker connections are all completed, select a proper position on each function to make the best use of your speaker system. (See “ADJUSTMENTS IN THE ‘SET MENU’ MODE” on page 46.)

1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)	2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER)	3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)
4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)	5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)

DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION

1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL/NONE

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position when your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers.

SMALL: Select this position when you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the center channel are output from the main speakers (or the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SMALL position is selected on “3. MAIN” and the SW position is selected on “4. BASS”).

NONE: Select this position when you do not have a center speaker. The center channel sound will be output from the left and right main speakers.

2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position if your rear speakers have a high ability for bass reproduction, or a subwoofer is connected to the rear speaker in parallel.

In this position, full range signals are output from the rear speakers.

SMALL: Select this position if your rear speakers do not have a high ability for bass reproduction.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the rear channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or the main speakers if the MAIN position is selected on “4. BASS”).

3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position if your main speakers have a high ability for bass reproduction.

In this position, full range signals present at the main channels are output from the main speakers.

SMALL: Select this position if your main speakers do not have a high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SW or BOTH position is selected on “4. BASS”.

4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)

Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH

Preset position: SW

MAIN: Select this position if your system does not include a subwoofer.

In this position, full range signals present at the main channels, signals from the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are selected on “1. CNTR” to “3. MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are output from the main speakers.

SW/BOTH:

Select either the SW or BOTH position if your system includes a subwoofer.

In either position, signals at LFE channel and other low bass signals that are selected on “1. CNTR” to “3. MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

When the LARGE position is selected on “3. MAIN”, in the SW position, no signal is distributed from the main channels to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal, however in the BOTH position, low bass signals from the main channels are output to both of the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)

Choices: NORMAL (NRML)/–10 dB

Preset position: NORMAL (NRML)

NORMAL (NRML):

Normally select this position.

–10 dB: Select this position if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.
