Placing speakers

The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend. You can use it to enjoy the CINEMA DSP and
multi-channel audio sources.

■ 7.1-channel speaker layout

7.1-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback the sound of high definition audio formats (Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) as well as the conventional audio sources with sound field programs. See page 14
for connection information.

y

We recommend that you also add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program. See page 13 for
details.

SW: Subwoofer

Front left and right speakers

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the
ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker

The center speaker is for the center channel 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.

Surround left and right speakers

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.

Surround back left and right speakers

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.

Subwoofer(s)

The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the high fidelity
sound of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. You can connect one or
two subwoofer(s) to this unit. When you use two subwoofers, you can enjoy deeper bass sound. 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 front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

y

When you use two subwoofers, select the same type of the subwoofer as another and set these subwoofers as same sound characteristics.
Place each subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position. The signal output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT 2 jack is the
same as the one output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT 1 jack.

Surround back speaker

Connect a single surround speakers to the SURROUND
BACK SINGLE speaker terminal and place the single
surround back speaker behind the listening position. The
surround back left and right channel signals are mixed
down and output at the single surround back speaker when
you set “SUR.B L/R SP” to “SMLx1” or “LRGx1” (see
page 77).

Surround left and right speakers

Connect the surround speakers to the SURROUND
speaker terminals even if you place the surround speakers
behind the listening position. For the smooth and
unbroken sound field behind the listening position, place
the surround left and right speakers farther back compared
with the placement in the 7.1-channel speaker layout. The
surround back channel signals are directed to the surround
left and right speakers when “SUR.B L/R SP” is set to
“NONE” (see page 77).

For other speaker combinations

You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field programs by using a speaker combination other than the 7.1/

6.1/5.1-channel speaker combinations.
Use the automatic setup feature (see page 32) or set the “SPEAKER SET” parameters in “MANUAL SETUP” (see
page 76) to output the surround sounds at the connected speakers.

■ Using presence speakers

The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front and surround back speakers with extra ambient effects
produced by the sound field programs (see page 48). You can adjust the vertical position of dialogues with using the
presence speakers (see page 65).
To use the presence speakers, connect the speakers to the EXTRA SP terminal (see page 14) and set “EXTRA SP
ASSIGN” to “PRESENCE” (see pages 33 and 76).

Connecting speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.

Caution

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the AC power plug is disconnected from the AC wall outlet.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage
this unit and/or the speakers. If the speaker wires are short-circuited, “CHECK SP WIRES” appears in the front
panel display when you turn on this unit.

• Use the magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.

• If you are to use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set “SP IMP.” to “6Ω MIN” before using this unit (see page 28). 4 ohm
speakers can be also used as the front speakers. For details about the speaker impedance setting, see page 106.

Note

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe,
groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable
to the “–” (black) terminals.

■ For the 7.1-channel speaker setting

EXTRA SP terminals

Connect the alternative front speaker system (FRONT B), front speaker systems in another room
(ZONE B), presence speakers, or Zone 2 speakers. To select the function of the speakers connected
to the EXTRA SP terminals, set the “EXTRA SP ASSIGN” parameter in “SOUND MENU” (see
page 76).

■ Connecting audio components

Notes

• To make a digital connection to a component other than the default component assigned to each the DIGITAL INPUT jack or the
DIGITAL OUTPUT jack, select the corresponding setting for “OPTICAL OUT”, “OPTICAL IN”, or “COAXIAL IN” in “I/O
ASSIGNMENT” (see page 84).

• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal of this unit to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the
connection to the GND terminal for some turntables.

• The PHONO jacks are only compatible with a turntable with an MM or a high-output MC cartridge. To connect a turntable with a low­output MC cartridge to the PHONO jacks, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier.

• When you connect both the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack and the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack to an audio component,
the priority is given to the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack.

■ Connecting an external amplifier

This unit has more than enough power for any home use. However, if you want to add more power to the speaker output
or if you want to use another amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks. Each PRE OUT jack outputs
the same channel signals as the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.

Notes

• When you make connections to the PRE OUT jacks, do not make connections to the SPEAKERS terminals.

• The signals output at the FRONT PRE OUT jacks are affected by the TONE CONTROL settings (see page 52).

• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer (see page 52).

• Some signals may not be output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks depending on the settings for “SPEAKER SET” (see page 76).

■ Connecting a multi-format player or an external decoder

This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and right FRONT, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and
SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a multi-format player, external decoder, sound processor or pre­amplifier.
If you set “INPUT CH” to “8CH” in “MULTI CH” (see page 86), you can use the input jacks assigned as “FRONT” in
“MULTI CH” (see page 86) together with the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to input 8-channel signals.
Connect the output jacks on your multi-format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to
match the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.

Notes

• When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 43), this unit automatically
turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.

• This unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We recommend that
you connect at least a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.

OPTIMIZING THE SPEAKER SETTING FOR YOUR LISTENING ROOM (YPAO)

Optimizing the speaker setting for your listening room (YPAO)

This unit employs the YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) technology which lets you avoid
troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments automatically. The supplied
optimizer microphone collects and this unit analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening
environment.

Using AUTO SETUP

Notes

• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output
during the “AUTO SETUP” procedure.

• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as quiet as
possible while the “AUTO SETUP” procedure is in progress. If
there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be
satisfactory.

y

• Initial settings are indicated in bold.

• You can run “AUTO SETUP” using the system menu that
appears in the OSD or in the front panel display. This manual
uses the OSD illustrations to explain the “AUTO SETUP”
procedure.

• Before performing operations, set the operation mode selector
on the remote control to FAMP.

• This unit uses the speakers connected to the FRONT A speaker
terminals as the front speakers for the adjustment.

1 Make sure of the following check points.

Note

Before starting the automatic setup, check the following
check points.

❏ Speakers are connected appropriately.
❏ Headphones are disconnected from this unit.
❏ This unit and the video monitor are turned on.
❏ This unit is selected as the video input source of

clearly at the center while the atmosphere of the stadium expands in an optimum space to offer the
listeners with a feeling of presence in the stadium.

This sound field has been suitable for action games such as car racing and FPS games. It uses the
reflection data that limits the effects range per channel in order to offer a powerful playing environment
with a being-there feeling by enhancing various effects tones while maintaining a clear sense of
directions.

This sound field has been suitable for role-playing and adventure games. It combines the sound field
effects for movies and the sound field designs for “Action Game” to represent the depth and 3D feeling of
the field during play, while offering movie-like surround effects in the movie scenes in the game.

This sound field offers an image of a concert hall for live performance of pop, rock and jazz music. The
listener can indulge oneself in a hot live space thanks to the presence sound field that emphasizes the
vividness of vocals and solo play and the beat of rhythm instruments, and to the surround sound field that
reproduces the space of a big live hall.

Mono Movie

The sound field restrains reverberations but puts emphasis on reproducing a powerful space expanded
widely to the left and right. The reproduced depth is also restrained relatively to ensure the separation
between audio channels and the clarity of the sound.

This sound field features stable reverberations that match a wide range of movie genres from serious
dramas to musicals and comedies. The reverberations are modest but offer an optimum 3D feeling,
reproducing effects tones and background music softly but cubically around clear words and center
positioning in a way that does not fatigue the listener even after long hours of viewing.

This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources such as a classic movie in an
atmosphere of a good old movie theater.

USING BLUETOOTH™ COMPONENTS

Using Bluetooth™ components

You can connect a Yamaha Bluetooth adapter (such as YBA-10, sold separately) to the DOCK terminal of this unit and
enjoy the music contents stored in your Bluetooth component (such as a portable music player) without wiring between
this unit and the Bluetooth component. You need to perform “pairing” the connected Bluetooth adapter and your
Bluetooth component in advance.

Pairing the Bluetooth™ adapter and your Bluetooth™ component

Pairing must be performed when using a Bluetooth
component with the Bluetooth adapter connected to this
unit for the first time or if the pairing data has been
deleted. “Pairing” refers to the operation of registering a
Bluetooth component for Bluetooth communications.

y

• You only need the pairing operation for the first time that you
use the Bluetooth component with the Bluetooth adapter.

• Pairing requires operations on this unit and on the other
component with which Bluetooth communications are to be
established. If necessary, refer to the other component’s
operating instructions.

There are two pairing methods: pairing by using “START
PAIRING” in “SET MENU” and quick pairing.

■ Pairing by using “SET MENU”

Use this feature to perform pairing with the video monitor.
Select “START PAIRING” in “INPUT MENU”. See
page 86 for details.

■ Quick pairing

To ensure security, a time limit of 8 minutes is set for the
pairing operation. You are recommended to read and fully
understand all the instructions before starting.

Note

If the Bluetooth adapter is not connected to the DOCK
terminal of this unit, “No BT adapter” appears in the front
panel display.

4 Check that the Bluetooth component detects

the Bluetooth adapter.

If the Bluetooth component detects the Bluetooth
adapter, “YBA-10 YAMAHA” (example) appears in
the Bluetooth device list.

5 Select the Bluetooth adapter in the Bluetooth

device list and then enter the pass key
“0000” on the Bluetooth component.

When the pairing procedure is successful,
“Completed” appears in the front panel display.

Note

The Yamaha Bluetooth adapter can be paired with up to eight
Bluetooth components. When pairing is conducted successfully
with a ninth component and the pairing data is registered, the
pairing data for the least recently used other component is
cleared.

RECORDING

Recording

Recording adjustments and other operations are performed from the recording components. Refer to the operating
instructions for those components.

Caution

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being
recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources encoded in DTS, the following considerations and
adjustments need to be made. To play DTS-encoded DVDs and CDs (when using a digital audio connection) on your
DTS-compatible player, follow its operating instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output
from the player.

Notes

• When this unit is set to the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.

• TONE CONTROL (see page 52) and VOLUME settings, the speaker level (see page 52) and the sound field programs (see page 48)
do not affect recorded material.

• The source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.

• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording. Likewise,
analog signals input at the AUDIO IN jacks are not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your source component is
connected to provide only digital or analog signals, you can only record digital or analog signals.

• A given input source is not output on the same AUDIO OUT (REC) channel.

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently through the video circuits of this unit. Therefore, when recording or dubbing
video signals input from a video source component that provides only an S-video or a composite video signal, you can only record an
S-video or a composite video signal on your VCR.

• The analog audio signals input at the DOCK terminal can be output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording.

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright
laws.

y

Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

OPERATION

BASIC

If you play back a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture
itself may be disturbed due to those signals.

■ Basic configuration of sound field
programs

Each sound field program has some parameters defining
the characteristics of the program. To customize the
selected sound field program, adjust “DSP LEVEL” and/
or “DIALG.LIFT” first, and then try other parameters.

y

To change sound field parameter settings, see page 64 for details.

Adjusting the effect sound level of the sound
field programs (DSP LEVEL)

Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect
sounds) to the original source sound to create sound field
in the listening room. Use the “DSP LEVEL” parameter to
adjust the level of the effect sounds.

The DSP effect

sound level is low.

Adjust “DSP LEVEL” in the following cases:

Increase the value of “DSP LEVEL”

• The effect sound of the selected sound field

program is too weak.

• You cannot recognize any difference between the

sound field programs.

Decrease the value of “DSP LEVEL”

• The sound is vague.

• You feel that the additional sound effect is

excessive.

Control range: –6 dB to +3 dB

the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the
reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter
from one to two doubles the apparent length of the room.

must be applied to the sound from each speaker so that all
sounds will arrive at the listening position at the same
time.

Maximum volume MAX VOL.

Use this feature to set the maximum volume level in the
main zone. This feature is useful to avoid the unexpected
loud sound by mistake. For example, the original volume
range is –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when “MAX
VOL.” is set to –5.0 dB, the volume range becomes
–80.0 dB to –5.0 dB.
Control range: –30.0 dB to +15.0 dB, +16.5 dB
Control step: 5.0 dB

Notes

• When this unit is in the auto setup procedure, the volume level
is automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current “MAX
VOL.” setting.

• The “MAX VOL.” setting takes priority over the initial volume
setting. For example, if “INI.VOL.” is set to –20.0 dB and
“MAX VOL.” is set to –30.0 dB, the volume level is
automatically set to –30.0 dB when you turn on the power of
this unit next time.

• Use “MAX VOL.” in “ZONE SET” to set the initial volume
level in Zone 2.

Initial volume INIT. VOL.
