PREPARATION
Preparing remote control
Installing batteries in the remote
control
1
1Take off the battery compartment cover.
2Insert the two supplied batteries (AAA, R03,
UM-4) according to the polarity markings (+
and –) on the inside of the battery
compartment.
3Snap the battery compartment cover back
into place.
Notes
• Change all batteries if you notice the following conditions:
– the operation range of the remote control narrows
– the transmit indicator does not flash or is dim
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
This may shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries
to leak.
• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and
manganese batteries) together. Specification of batteries may be
different even though they look the same.
• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately,
taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material
comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth,
rinse it away immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery
compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
• Dispose of the old batteries correctly in accordance with your local
regulations.
• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 2 minutes,
or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote control, the contents
of the memory may be cleared. In such a case, install new batteries
and set the remote control code.

■Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)
The front speakers are used for the front channel sounds
(stereo sound) and effect sounds. Place these speakers at
SW
an equal distance from the ideal listening position. When
using a screen, the appropriate top positions of the
speakers are about 1/4 of the screen from the bottom.
SR
SR
■Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). Place it halfway between the left and
right speakers. When using a TV, place the speaker just
above or just under the center of the TV with the front
surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned. When using a
screen, place it just under the center of the screen.
■Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds.
FR
SW
Place them at the rear left and rear right facing the
listening position.
To obtain a natural sound flow in the 5.1-channel speaker
layout, place them slightly further back than in the 7.1channel speaker layout.
■Surround back left and right speakers (SBL
SR
and SBR) / Surround back speaker (SB)
The surround back left and right speakers are used for rear
SR
effect sounds. Place them at the rear of the room facing the
listening position at least 30 cm away from each other,
ideally at the same distance as that between the front left
and right speakers.
In the 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
right channel sound signals are mixed down and output
from the single surround back speaker.
FR
In the 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
right channel sound signals are output from the surround
SW
left and right speakers.
■Subwoofer (SW)
The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and lowfrequency effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital
SR
SR
and DTS signals. Use a subwoofer with a built-in
amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System. Place it exterior to the front left and
right speakers facing slightly inward to reduce reflections
from a wall.

Connecting the speaker cable
Caution
• A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently
or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the “+” (red) terminal of this unit
and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the “–” (black) terminal of this
unit and the other end to that of your speaker.
• Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
speakers. If the circuit shorts out, “CHECK SP WIRES!” appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned
on.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If images on the monitor are still distorted even when you use the magnetically
shielded speakers, place the speakers away from the monitor.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in “ADVANCED SETUP” before
connecting the speakers (see page 60).

SURROUND and SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP
terminals
1Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) of
insulation from the end of each speaker
cable and then twist bare wires of the cable

About audio/video output terminals
Among the analog audio and analog video signals input to this unit via input terminals, the audio/video signals of the
selected input sources are output from the AV OUT jack and AUDIO OUT jack. An HDMI input signal,
COMPONENT VIDEO input signal or digital audio input signal cannot be output.
When using the AV OUT jack: connect an external component to the composite or analog audio terminal.
When using the AUDIO OUT jack: connect an external component to the analog audio terminal.
Connecting a multi-format player or an
external decoder
This unit is equipped with 8 additional input jacks (Front
L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R and
SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a
multi-format player, external decoder, etc. If you set input
source to “MULTI CH,” the analog audio input jacks
assigned as “Front Input” can be used as the front channel
input jacks.
Notes
• When you select “MULTI CH” as the input source, the digital sound field
processor is automatically disabled.
• Since this unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT
jacks to accommodate for missing speakers, connect at least a 5.1channel speaker system when using this feature.
• When the input source is switched to “MULTI CH,” images input from a
component connected to “AV1-6” or “V-AUX” (see page 45). If your
DVD player does not support multi-channel digital output, connect it to
these input jacks.

UX
This unit has a Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO). With the YPAO, this unit automatically adjusts the
output characteristics of your speakers based on speaker position, speaker performance, and the acoustic characteristics
of the room. We recommend that you first adjust the output characteristics with the YPAO when you use this unit.
INTRODUCTION
Caution
• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be
output during the “Auto Setup” procedure. Do not
allow small children to enter the room during the
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
• See page 51 for the “Manual Setup” procedure.
Using Auto Setup

ProgramDescriptions
StandardThis program creates a sound field emphasizing the surrounding feeling without disturbing the original acoustic
positioning of multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. It has been designed with the concept of “an
ideal movie theater,” in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the left, right and rear.
SpectacleThis program represents the spectacular feeling of large-scale movie productions.
It reproduces a broad theater sound field matching the cinemascope and wider-screen movies with an excellent
dynamic range from very small to extremely large sound.
Sci-FiThis program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the latest science fiction and special effects-
featuring movies.
You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created virtual spaces reproduced with clear separation between
dialog, sound effects and background music.
AdventureThis program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies.
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.
