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 output the front channel sounds (stereo
sound) and effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal
SW
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

■Center speaker (C)
The center speaker outputs 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 output effect sounds and surround
sounds. Place them at the rear left and rear right facing the
FR
SW
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
and SBR) / Surround back speaker (SB)
SR
The surround back left and right speakers output rear
effect sounds. Place them at the rear of the room facing the
SR
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.
In the 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
FR
right channel sound signals are output from the surround
left and right speakers.

■Subwoofer (SW)
The subwoofer speaker outputs bass sounds and lowfrequency effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital
and DTS signals. Use a subwoofer with a built-in
SR
SR
amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System. Place it exterior to the front left and

Presence speakers
You can connect presence speakers (PL/PR) that output
front effect sounds to this unit. With CINEMA DSP sound
field programs (see page 27) and their CINEMA DSP 3D
functions, a sound with a richer and more spacial presence
can be created. You can adjust the vertical position of
center sound such as a dialog (see page 47).

Connecting the speaker cable
Connections
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.
• If your video monitor is a CRT, 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. You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set “SP IMP.” to
“6ΩMIN” (see page 58).
1Remove approximately 10 mm of insulation
from the end of each speaker cable and then
twist bare wires of the cable together so that
they will not cause a short circuits.
Using bi-amplification connections
You can connect speakers that support bi-amplification
connections to this unit. To connect the speakers via a biamp connection, connect them to the FRONT jacks and
SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP jacks as illustrated.

To enable the bi-amp connection, connect the power cable
to the wall outlet, display the ADVANCED SETUP menu
and set “BI AMP” to “ON” (see page 58).

signals. If your playback component, such as a DVD
player or SACD player, has multi-channel analog output
capability, you can enjoy up to 7.1-channel multi-channel
sound. To output multi-channel sound, connect the audio

UX
This unit has a Yamaha Parametric Room 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
Notes
• Loud test tones may be output during the automatic
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 automatic setup procedure
is in progress. If there is too much ambient noise, the
results may not be satisfactory.
y
• You can manually adjust the output characteristics of your speakers
with “2 Manual Setup” in the SETUP menu. For details, see page 47.
Using Auto Setup
1Check the following points.
Before starting the automatic setup, check the
following.
• All speakers and subwoofer are connected
properly.
• Headphones are disconnected from this unit.
• The video monitor is connected properly.
• This unit and the video monitor are turned on.
• This unit is selected as the video input source of the
video monitor.
• The connected subwoofer is turned on and the
volume level is set to about half way (or slightly
less).
• The crossover frequency controls of the connected
subwoofer are set to the maximum.
