Caution:

• Remove the AC power cable of this unit from the power outlet
before connecting the speakers.

• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated
cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line
running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different
colored (or lined) cable into the “+” (positive, red) terminal
on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the “-”
(minus, black) terminal.

• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit.
This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables
short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear on the front panel
display when this unit is switched on.

• This unit is con gured for 8Ω speakers at the factory setting.
When connecting 6Ω speakers, con gure the speaker impedance
setting of this unit to 6Ω. When this unit is con gured for 6Ω
speakers, 4Ω speakers can also be used as the front speakers.
For more information on setting the speaker impedance, refer to
“Changing speaker impedance” in the Owner’s Manual.

• When connecting the presence speakers, refer to “Presence speaker
connection” in the Owner’s Manual.

• This unit can connect speakers that support Bi-amp connection for front
speakers. Refer to “Bi-amp connection” in the Owner’s Manual for the
details.

When using an HDMI compatible TV that supports
Audio Return Channel functions and / or HDMI Control functions
(e.g., Panasonic VIERA Link), you can enjoy the TV sound on this
unit as follows:

When using a TV that supports the Audio Return Channel
function and HDMI Control function

The audio / video output from the unit to the TV and audio output
from the TV to the unit are possible using a single HDMI cable.
The input source is switched automatically to match operations
carried out on the TV, and that makes TV sound control easier to
use.
For the connections and settings, refer to “Using the HDMI Control
function” in the Owner’s Manual.

When using a TV that supports HDMI Control functions

When HDMI Control functions are enabled on the unit, input source
can be switched automatically to match operations carried out on
the TV.
For the connections and settings, refer to “Using the HDMI Control
function” in the Owner’s Manual.

• When playback, select the corresponding input source to which the jack is connected.

• At the default settings, input sources and sound programs are preset on the SCENE keys. When a playback device is connected to HDMI 1,
pressing BD/DVD under SCENE key selects the HDMI 1 input. When a playback device is connected to AV3, pressing CD under SCENE selects
the AV3 input. The input source and sound program preset on the SCENE key can be changed. For more information on the SCENE function,
refer to “Changing input settings with a single key (SCENE function)” in the Owner’s Manual.

• If necessary, you can connect components that cannot be connected using the above methods, such as devices that output video from
component video output jacks and audio from analog output jacks. Refer to “Connecting external components” in the Owner’s Manual for
details.

Set up the speaker parameters automatically (YPAO)

When all connections are complete, adjust the con guration, sizes, and volume
balance of the speakers to provide an optimal sound  eld. This unit is equipped with a
Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) function that adjusts the speaker
balance automatically with a simple procedure.

When using YPAO, a test tone will be output from the speakers for approximately 3 minutes to measure acoustics. Be aware of the following when
using YPAO.

• The test tone is output at high volume. Refrain from using this function at night when it may be a nuisance to others.

• Take care that the test tone does not frighten small children.

YPAO operations can be viewed on the front panel display or TV screen. TV display is used here to explain operation.

Check the following before using YPAO.

This completes preparation. To achieve more accurate results, take note of the following when measuring acoustics.

• It takes approximately 3 minutes to accurately measure acoustics. Keep the room as quiet as possible while acoustics are measured.

• Wait in a corner of the room, or leave it entirely, while acoustics are measured to avoid creating an obstruction between the speakers and
the YPAO microphone.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting speakers

This unit uses acoustic field effects and sound decoders to bring you the impact of a real movie theater or concert hall. These effects will be brought to you with ideal speaker positioning and
connections in your listening environment.

■

Speaker channels and functions

■

Front left and right speakers

The front speakers are used for the front channel sounds (stereo
sound) and effect sounds.

Ex.

Front speaker layout:
Place these speakers at an equal distance from the ideal listening
position in the front of the room. When using a projector screen,
the appropriate top positions of the speakers are about 1/4 of the
screen from the bottom.

■

Center speaker

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals,
etc.).

Surround left and right speakers

The surround speakers are for effect and vocal sounds with the 5.1­channel speakers providing rear-area sounds. When used with 6.1/

7.1-channel (including surround back channel), sound for right and
left rear-area is output.

Ex.

Surround speaker layout:
Place the speakers at the rear of the room on the left and right sides
facing the listening position. They should be placed between 60
degrees and 80 degrees from the listening position and with the
speaker tops at a height of 1.5 – 1.8 m from the floor.

■

Presence left and right speakers

The presence speakers are used for front effect sounds. When used
in combination with the sound programs (☞
richer and more spatial presence is possible.

p. 41), a sound with a

■

Surround back left and right speakers

Outputs the rear effect. When used with 6.1ch sound, sound from
the left and right sound surround back speakers is mixed and output
from a single speaker. When used with 5.1ch sound, sound from
surround back speakers is distributed between the left and right
surround speakers.

Ex.

Surround back speaker layout:
When used with 7.1ch sound, arrange the left and right speakers
towards the listening position , to the rear of the listening position.
Arrange the left and right speakers at least 30 cm apart. The same
separation as with the front left and right speakers is optimum.
When used with 6.1ch sound, arrange these to the rear of the
listening position.

■

Subwoofer

The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and low-frequency
effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital and DTS. Use a
subwoofer that is equipped with built-in amplifier.

Ex.

Center speaker layout:
Place it halfway between the left and right front 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.

Ex.

Presence speaker layout:
Place the left and right presence speakers 0.5 – 1m to the outside
of the left and right front speakers respectively. The tops of the
presence speakers should be 1.8 m above the floor.

Ex.

Subwoofer speaker layout:
Place it to the outside of the front left and right speakers facing
slightly inward to reduce echoes from the wall.

Connecting speakers and subwoofer

Connect your speakers to their respective terminals on the rear panel.

CAUTION

• Remove the AC power cable of this unit from the power outlet before connecting the speakers.

• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different colored (or lined) cable into the “+”

(positive, red) terminal on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the “–” (negative, black) terminal.

• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP
WIRES!” will appear on the front panel display when this unit is switched on.

CAUTION

The EXTRA SP jacks of this unit should not be connected to a
Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or more than one loudspeaker
per channel.
Connection to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or multiple
speakers per channel could create an abnormally low impedance
load resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner’s manual for
correct usage.
Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all
channels must be maintained at all times. This information is found
on the back panel of this unit.
