SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker placement

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R* speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and multi-channel audio sources.

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union).

30 cm (12 in) or more

SBL

30˚

60˚

80˚

SBR

SPEAKER SETUP

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the listening position and at the same height as the surround speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in) apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width as the front speakers.

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, 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 high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. 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.

PREPARATION

1.8 m (6 ft)

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers 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 (C)

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. Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)

Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP (see page 56). These effects include sounds that filmmakers intend to locate a litt le f a rther b ack beh ind the screen in order to create more theater -like ambience. Place these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

Page 16

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker connections

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty , no sound will be heard from the speak ers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

• If you will use 4 or 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 4 ohms before using (see page 23).

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is off.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

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

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

AUTO SETUP

Introduction

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

Notes

• Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output during the auto setup procedure.

• If auto setup stops and error messages appear on the screen, follow the troubleshooting on page 28.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system.

WIRING: Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of each speaker.

SIZE: Checks the speakers frequency response and sets the crossover/high cut frequency for the subwoofer to improve the sound relationship between the speakers and the subwoofer .

DISTANCE: Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the delay of each channel so that the sound from each speaker reaches the listening position at the same time. Also checks the phase of each speaker.

Notes

• After you have completed the auto setup procedure, be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone.

• The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat. – Keep it away from direct sunlight. – Do not place it on top of this unit.

2 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat

level surface with the omni-directional microphone head upward, at your normal listening position.

If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer mic at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.

EQUALIZING: Adjusts frequency and lev els of each channel’s parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique sonic characteristics. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

LEVEL: Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each speaker.

AUTO SETUP

Starting the setup

For best results, make sure the room is as quiet as possible during the auto setup procedure (YPAO). If there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be satisfactory.

If your subwoofer has adjustable volume and crossover/high cut frequency controls, set the volume between 9 and 11 o’clock (as viewed on a conventional clockface) and set the crossover/high cut frequency to the maximum.

When automatic preset tuning is completed, the fr ont panel display shows the frequency of the last preset station.

Notes

• Any stored station data existing under a preset number is cleared when you store a new station under that preset number.

• If the number of received stations does not reach 40 (E8), automatic preset tuning has automatically stopped after searching all stations.

record from.

Notes

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

• The setting of TONE CONTROL, VOLUME, “SPEAKER LEVEL” (page 66) and programs does not affect recorded material.

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

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source component is connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal to your VCR.

• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output to the analog AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks for recording. Likewise, analog signals input to the AUDIO IN (L/R) jacks are not output to 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 REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on VCR 1 OUT.)

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

If you playback 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.

■ Special considerations when recording

DTS software

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 that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. For DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, wh en your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operating instructions to make a setting so that th e analog signal will be output from the player.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback exper ience. Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to AUTO (see page37) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

Notes

• This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in the actual hall, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.

• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.

For movie/video sources

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI” can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel (stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.1

Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to select sound field programs, see “Selecting sound field programs” on page 32 to 36.

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. You can control this unit from the second room using the supplied remote control.

Only analog signals are sent to the second room. Any source you want to listen to in the second room must be connected using the analog (AUDIO L/R) input jacks on this unit.

Zone 2 connections

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:

• An infrared signal receiver in the second room.

• An infrared emit ter in the main room. Th is emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second room to the main room (to a CD player, for example).

• An amplifier and speakers for the second room.

• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult with your

nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about the Zone 2 connections that best meet your requirements.

• Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack of this unit. If you own these products,

you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to 6 YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.

■ Special considerations for DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second room you will only hear digital noise (that may damage your speakers). Thus, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made when playing DTS-encoded discs.

For DVDs encoded in DTS

Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the second room. Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

For CDs encoded in DTS

To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS

What is a sound field Changing parameter settings

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, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.

■ Elements of a sound field

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field:

Early reflections

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only – for example, from the ceiling or a wall. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations

These are caused by reflections from more than on e surface – walls, ceiling, the back of the room – so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the clarity of the direct sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation 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 virtually any size room at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field processor.

You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial settings, you can change some of the parameters to better suit the input source or your listening room.

To reset all parameters

Use PARAM. INI (see page 72).

Note

You cannot change parameter values when “MEMORY GUARD” is set to ON. If you want to change the parameter values, set “MEMORY GUARD” to OFF (see page 71).

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost even if this unit is set in the standby mode, the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to power failure. However, if the power is cut for more than one week, the parameter values will ret u rn to the factory settings. If this happens, edit the parameter value again.

SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.

■ DSP LEVEL (DSP level)

Function: Adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range. Description: Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP

effect level relative to the level of the direct sound.

Control range: –6 dB to +3 dB

■ INIT. DLY/P. INIT. DLY (Initial delay)

Function: Changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound

and the first reflection heard by the listener.

Description: The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther

it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a la rge value.

■ ROOM SIZE/P. ROOM SIZE (Room size)

Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sou nd field. The larger the value, the larger the surround

sound field becomes.

Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between

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.

■ LIVENESS (Liveness)

Function: Adjusts the reflecti vity of the vi rtual w alls i n the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections

decay.

Description: The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall

surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room.
