PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a totally new listening environment – movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby Surround-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
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 own 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 venues such as an actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately recreate one of several live performance environments in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of a Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective front and rear channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in less sophisticated home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so there are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system increases sound stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels compared to conventional analog Dolby signal processing. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This circuit always presents you the best surround conditions without performing manual adjustments.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
Additionally you can enjoy sound environment created by the combination of Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA DSP. Precise sound movement and orientation by the Dolby Pro Logic technology is added to sound fields which are precisely recreated on the basis of actual acoustic environments by the DSP technology, so it is suitable for any Audio/Video source with video image. This combination is used on sound field programs “DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED”, “70 mm MOVIE THEATER”, “TV THEATER” and “SPORTS”.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these programs are created by the combination of Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.

SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with this unit are front speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front 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 etc.) within the Dolby Surround encoded programs. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the front speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the digital sound field program DOLBY
PRO LOGIC, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER, TV THEATER or SPORTS is selected,
conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.
●
Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 14.)
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY PRO
LOGIC ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER, TV THEATER or SPORTS is selected, the center sound is output
from the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5­speaker configuration.
●
Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 14.)
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers (your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
Front: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.
Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
●
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, 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.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept 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.

SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor.
The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

Notes
●
Once you have completed these adjustments, you can adjust whole sound level on your audio system by using the VOLUME control (or the MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote control transmitter).
●
If you use external power amplifiers, their volume controls may also be adjusted to achieve proper balance.
●
In step 12, if the center channel mode is in the “PHANTOM” position, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the center sound is automatically output from the left and right front speakers.
●
<Australia and Singapore models only>
If there is insufficient sound output from the center and rear speakers, you may decrease the front speaker output level by setting the FRONT LEVEL switch on the rear panel to “–10 dB”.

Description of Each Sound Field Program
The following list gives brief descriptions of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.
Note The channel level balance between the left rear effect speaker and the right rear effect speaker may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.
PROGRAM FEATURE
This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC
The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, compared to the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated.
This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker
ENHANCED
systems of a 35 mm film theater, thus widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence.
70 mm MOVIE
This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Sorround. The Yamaha DSP technology is ideally combined with the Dolby Pro Logic to present you incredible
THEATER
listening experience of the 70 mm film movie theater. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest movies. The sound field is made according to the design of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The three dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. You can enjoy watching Sci-Fi, adventure movies, etc. with this program.
TV THEATER
This program is suitable for dramas, variety or music programs, etc.. Much surround effect can be gained for stereo sources.
SPORTS
This program is furnished with a tight sound field in which the sound will not spread excessively on the front side, but the rear surround side produces a dynamic sound expansion. This program is the most suitable for sports programs encoded with Dolby Surround.
STADIUM
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily spacious feel of a large stadium.
ROCK CONCERT This program is suitable for rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically.
JAZZ CLUB This is a small, cozy jazz club with a low ceiling. The sound is very close and intimate.
CHURCH
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a modern church with a high pointed dome and columns along the sides. This interior produces a very few primary reflections.
CONCERT HALL
In this program, the center seems deep behind the front speaker pair, creating an expansive, large hall ambience.
24
Description of Dolby Pro Logic Surround
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND: This unit employs
the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. This system is similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in movie theaters. By employing a four-channel system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signals into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize dialog), and the rear surround-sound channels (to characterize sound effects, background noise and other ambient noise).
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home video system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system in this unit decodes the signal and feeds the surround-sound effects. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby Surround.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Additionally licensed under Canadian patent number 1,037,877. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

source.
The selected program name is shown on the display.
3 If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of
each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on page 26 and 27.)
Notes
●
If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT switch. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect.
●
When STADIUM, ROCK CONCERT, JAZZ CLUB, CHURCH or CONCERT HALL is selected, no sound is
heard from the center speaker.
●
When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, no
sound is heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the front speakers output the sound of the center channel.
●
When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is used, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE controls, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect.

2 Press a key on this unit where a new function will be
learned.
3 Press and hold the key (on the other remote control
transmitter) where the desired new function is.
* When the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator stops lighting, the
learning is finished.
4 Repeat step 2 and 3 until all desired functions are
successfully learned.
5 Set to the “USER” position.
Try operating your components.
Notes
●
When you operate the desired component with this remote control transmitter, TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash steadily.
●
The originally preset function of a key is still available in the USER position if a new function has not been learned to the key.
●
Successful learning to a key results in the erasure of previously learned functions and their replacement by the newly learned ones.
●
If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash on and off. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control transmitters, no further learning is possible.
Memory back-up
All of the learned functions will be retained while you replace the batteries. However, if no batteries are installed for a few hours, the learned functions will be erased and will have to be learned again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help.
SYMPTOM
The unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is pressed.
No sound or no picture.
The sound suddenly goes off.
Only one side speaker outputs the sound.
Sound “hums”.
The volume level is low while playing a record.
The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted.
No sound from the rear speakers.
No sound from the center speaker.
FM stereo reception is noisy.
There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna.
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto tuning.
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto tuning.
There are continuous crackling and hissing noises.
There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening).
The remote control transmitter does not work.
The sound is degraded when monitoring is performed by using the headphones connected to the compact disc player or cassette deck which are connected with this unit.
CAUSE
Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely inserted.
Incorrect output cord connections.
The MUTING key is ON.
Appropriate input selector is not pressed.
The protection circuit has been activated because of short circuit etc.
The SLEEP timer functioned. Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control. Incorrect cord connections.
Incorrect cord connections.
No connection from the turntable to the GND terminal.
The record is being played on a turntable with an MC cartridge.
The power to the component connected to the REC OUT terminals of this unit is off.
The sound output level to the rear speakers is set to 0.
The monaural sound source is played in DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED mode.
The sound output level to the center speaker is set to 0.
The center channel mode is in PHANTOM mode. Incorrect sound field program selection. No sound field program is selected. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo
broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor.
There is multipath interference.
The station is too weak.
Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Noises will result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment.
A television set is being used nearby.
Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit.
The batteries of this remote control transmitter are too weak.
The power to this unit is off.
REMEDY
Firmly plug in the power cord.
Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective.
First, turn the volume control to full left. Then, turn the MUTING key OFF with the remote control transmitter and adjust the volume.
Press the appropriate input selector corresponding to the input source.
Turning the unit off and then on will reset the protection circuit.
Cancel the SLEEP timer function. Adjust it to the appropriate position. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists,
the cords may be defective. Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem
persists, the cords may be defective. Make the GND connection between the turntable
and this unit. The player should be connected to the unit through
the MC head amplifier. Turn the power to the component on.
Turn up the sound output level with the REAR LEVEL control.
Select another program suitable for the monaural sound source.
Turn up the sound output level with the CENTER LEVEL control.
Select NORMAL or WIDE. Select the appropriate program. Check the antenna connections.
Try using a multiple element FM antenna.
Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath interference.
Use Manual tuning mode. Use a high quality directional FM antenna.
Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception.
Use Manual tuning mode. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This
will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all noise.
Relocate this unit away from the TV.
Change the position of the main unit.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
Turn the power to this unit on.
