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.

DramaThis 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.
Mono MovieThis program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources such as a classic movie in an atmosphere of a
good old movie theater.
The program produces the optimum expansion and reverberation to the original audio to create a comfortable
space with a certain sound depth.
SportsThis program allows the listeners to enjoy stereo sport broadcasts and studio variety programs with enriched live
feeling. In sports broadcasts, the voices of the commentator and sportscaster are positioned 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.
Action GameThis 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.
Roleplaying GameThis 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.

Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections from all around the audience, producing a very
full, rich sound.
ChamberThis program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like an audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant
reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.
Cellar ClubThis program simulates a live house with a low ceiling and homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field
features powerful sound as if the listener is in a row in front of a small stage.
The Roxy TheatreThis is the sound field of a rock music live house in Los Angeles, with approximately 460 seats. The listener’s
virtual seat is at the center left of the hall.
The Bottom LineThis is the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, that was a famous New York jazz club once. The floor
can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.
Music VideoThis 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

Using multi-zone configuration
This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce
separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone2). You can control this unit from the second zone
using the supplied remote control.
Only analog signal can be sent to Zone2. If you want to output the sound from Zone2, connect an external component
to AV5-6 or AUDIO1-2 by analog connection. For example, if you want to output sound from an HDMI DVD player
in Zone2, you must connect the component to this unit by both HDMI and analog connections.
INTRODUCTION
Connecting Zone2
You need the following additional equipment to use the
multi-zone functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
• An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter
transmits infrared signals from the remote control to a
CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone via
the infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
• An amplifier and speakers in the second zone.
y
• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a
multi-zone configuration, we recommend that you consult with your
nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the Zone2
connections that best meet your requirements.
• Some Yamaha models can be directly connected to the REMOTE jacks
of this unit. You may not need use an infrared signal emitter for these
products. Up to 6 Yamaha components can be connected as shown below.

■Audio and video synchronization (lip sync)
Lip sync, an abbreviation for lip synchronization, is a technical term
that involves both a problem and a capability of maintaining audio and
video signals synchronized during post-production and transmission.
Whereas the audio and video latency requires complex end-user
adjustments, HDMI version 1.3 incorporates an automatic audio and
video syncing capability that allows devices to perform this
synchronization automatically and accurately without user interaction.
■Bi-amplification connection
A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker.
One amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker
while the other is connected to the combined mid and tweeter section.
With this arrangement each amplifier operates over a restricted
frequency range. This restricted range presents each amplifier with a
much simpler job and each amplifier is less likely to influence the
sound in some way.
■Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated
into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB and PR signals for the
chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this
system because each of these signals is independent. The component
signal is also called the “color difference signal” because the
luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A monitor with
component input jacks is required in order to output component
signals.
■Composite video signal
With the composite video signal system, the video signal is composed
of three basic elements of a video picture: color, brightness and
synchronization data. A composite video jack on a video component
transmits these three elements combined.
■Deep Color
Deep Color refers to the use of various color depths in displays, up
from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification.
This extra bit depth allows HDTVs and other displays go from
millions of colors to billions of colors and eliminate on-screen color
banding for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between
colors. The increased contrast ratio can represent many times more
shades of gray between black and white. Also Deep Color increases
the number of available colors within the boundaries defined by the
RGB or YCbCr color space.
■Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you
completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels
(front L/R and center), and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital
provides 5 full-range audio channels. With an additional channel
especially for bass effects, called LFE (Low Frequency Effect), the
system has a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By
using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate
moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible
than with Dolby Surround. The wide dynamic range from maximum
to minimum volume reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the
precise sound orientation generated using digital sound processing
provide listeners with unprecedented excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up to a 5.1channel configuration can be freely selected for your enjoyment.
■Dolby Digital Surround EX
Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1channel sources.
For the best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie
sound tracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this
additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic
moving sound especially with scenes with “fly-over” and “flyaround” effects.
■Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an advanced audio technology developed for
high-definition programming and media including HD broadcasts,
and Blu-ray Disc. Selected as an optional audio standard for Blu-ray
Disc, this technology delivers multichannel sound with discrete
channel output. Supporting bitrates up to 6.0 Mbps, Dolby Digital
Plus can carry up to 7.1 discreet audio channels simultaneously.
Supported by HDMI version 1.3 and designed for the optical disc
players and AV receivers/amplifiers of the future, Dolby Digital Plus
also remains fully compatible with the existing multichannel audio
systems that incorporate Dolby Digital.
■Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast
numbers of existing Dolby Surround sources. This new technology
enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front left and right
channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels
instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music
sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources and “Game mode” for
game sources.
■Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete
multichannel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel sources.
There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music sources,
“Movie mode” for movie sources (for 2-channel sources only) and
“Game mode” for game sources.
■Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser
discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well. Dolby Surround
uses a 4-channel analog recording system to reproduce realistic and
dynamic sound effects: 2 front left and right channels (stereo), a
center channel for dialog (monaural), and a surround channel for
special sound effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces
sound within a narrow frequency range. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder
built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to enhance
moving sound effects and directionality.
■Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is an advanced lossless audio technology developed
for high-definition disc-based media including Blu-ray Disc. Selected
as an optional audio standard for Blu-ray Disc, this technology
delivers sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, offering
a high-definition home theater experience.
Supporting bitrates up to 18.0 Mbps, Dolby TrueHD can carry up to 8
discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously.
Dolby TrueHD also remains fully compatible with the existing
multichannel audio systems and retains the metadata capability of
Dolby Digital, allowing dialog normalization and dynamic range
control.

■DSD
Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology stores audio signals on
digital storage media, such as Super Audio CDs. Using DSD, signals
are stored as single bit values at a high-frequency sampling rate of
2.8224 MHz, while noise shaping and oversampling are used to
reduce distortion, a common occurrence with very high quantization
of audio signals. Due to the high sampling rate, better audio quality
can be achieved than that offered by the PCM format used for normal
audio CDs. The frequency is equal to or higher than 100 kHz and the
dynamic range is 120 dB. This unit can transmit or receive DSD
signals via the HDMI jack.
■DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality for multichannel sound on DVD video, and is fully backward-compatible with
all DTS decoders. “96” refers to a 96 kHz sampling rate compared to
the typical 48 kHz sampling rate. “24” refers to 24-bit word length.
DTS 96/24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-motion
video for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD
video.
■DTS Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks
of movies with a 5.1-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly
gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. DTS, Inc. has
developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of
sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital surround in
your home. This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel
sound (technically, front left and right, center, surround left and right,
and LFE 0.1 (subwoofer) channels for a total of 5.1 channels). This
unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1-channel
reproduction by adding the surround back channel to the existing 5.1channel format.
■DTS Express
This is an audio format for next-generation optical discs such as Bluray discs. It uses optimized low bit rate signals for network streaming.
In the case of a Blu-ray disc, this format is used with secondary audio,
enabling you to enjoy the commentary of the movie producer via the
Internet while playing the main program.
■DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a high resolution audio
technology developed for high-definition disc-based media including
Blu-ray Disc. Selected as an optional audio standard for Blu-ray Disc,
this technology delivers sound that is virtually indistinguishable from
the original, offering a high-definition home theater experience.
Supporting bitrates up to 6.0 Mbps for Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD High
Resolution Audio can carry up to 7.1 discrete channels of 24-bit/96
kHz audio simultaneously.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio also remains fully compatible with
the existing multichannel audio systems that incorporate DTS Digital
Surround.
■DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio is an advanced lossless audio technology
developed for high-definition disc-based media including Blu-ray
Disc. Selected as an optional audio standard for Blu-ray Disc, this
technology delivers sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio
master, offering a high-definition home theater experience.
Supporting bitrates up to 24.5 Mbps for Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD
Master Audio can carry up to 7.1 discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz
audio simultaneously. Supported by HDMI version 1.3 and designed
for the optical disc players and AV receivers/amplifiers of the future,
DTS-HD Master Audio also remains fully compatible with the
existing multichannel audio systems that incorporate DTS Digital
Surround.
■HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industrysupported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. Providing
an interface between any source (such as a set-top box or AV receiver)
and an audio/video monitor (such as a digital television), HDMI
supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as multichannel digital audio using a single cable. HDMI transmits all ATSC
HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with
bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and
requirements.
When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface
that meets the security requirements of content providers and system
operators. For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website
at “http://www.hdmi.org/.”
■LFE 0.1 channel
This channel reproduces low-frequency signals. The frequency range
of this channel is from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as
0.1 because it only enforces a low-frequency range compared to the
full-range reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.
■Neural Surround
Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in surround
technology and has been adopted by XM Satellite Radio for digital
radio broadcast of surround recordings and live events in surround
sound. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain
processing which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage with
superior channel separation and localization of audio elements.
System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multi-channel surround
playback.
■Neo:6
Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6- channel
playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the fullrange channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal
playback. There are two modes available: “Music mode” for music
sources and “Cinema mode” for movie sources.
■PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is
digitized, recorded and transmitted without using any compression.
This is used as a method of recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM
system uses a technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for “Pulse Code Modulation,” the
analog signal is encoded as pulses and then modulated for recording.

quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the
signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency, while
the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric
value is called the number of quantized bits. The range of rates that
can be played back is determined based on the sampling rate, while
the dynamic range representing the sound level difference is
determined by the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher
the sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies that can be
played back, and the higher the number of quantized bits, the more
finely the sound level can be reproduced.
■“x.v.Color”
A color space standard supported by HDMI version 1.3. It is a more
extensive color space than sRGB, and allows the expression of colors
that could not be expressed before. While remaining compatible with
the color gamut of sRGB standards, “x.v.Color” expands the color
space and can thus produce more vivid, natural images. It is
particularly effective for still pictures and computer graphics.

Sound field program information
■Elements of a sound field
What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument
are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In
addition to making the sound live, these reflections enable
us to tell where the player is situated as well as the size
and shape of the room in which we are sitting. There are
two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to
make up the sound field in addition to the direct sound
coming straight to our ears from the playerfs instrument.
Early reflections
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms
to 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one
surface only (for example, from a wall or the ceiling).
Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.
Reverberations
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface (for example, from the walls, and/or the ceiling) so
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic afterglow. They are nondirectional and lessen the
clarity of the direct sound.
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent
reverberations taken together help us to determine the
subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this
information that the digital sound field processor
reproduces in order to create sound fields.
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you
would be able to create your own listening
environment.
The acoustics in your room could be changed to those
of a concert hall, a dance floor, or a room with virtually
any size at all. This ability to create sound fields at will
is exactly what Yamaha has done with the digital sound
field processor.
■SILENT CINEMA
Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm
for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each
sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.
■Virtual CINEMA DSP
Yamaha has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows
you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects even without any
surround speakers by using virtual surround speakers. It is even
possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal two-speaker
system that does not include a center speaker.
■Compressed Music Enhancer
The Compressed Music Enhancer feature of this unit enhances your
listening experience by regenerating the missing harmonics in a
compression artifact. As a result, flattened complexity due to the loss
of high-frequency fidelity as well as lack of bass due to the loss of
low-frequency bass is compensated, providing improved performance
of the overall sound system.

■CINEMA DSP
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed
for use in movie theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having
many speakers designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions,
such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in the sound
heard.
Based on a wealth of actually measured data, Yamaha CINEMA DSP
provides the audiovisual experience of a movie theater in the listening
room of your own home by using the Yamaha original sound field
technology combined with various digital audio systems.
■CINEMA DSP 3D
The actually measured sound field data contain the
information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA
DSP 3D feature achieves the reproduction of the accurate
height of the sound images so that it creates the accurate
and intensive stereoscopic sound fields in a listening
room.
