The speaker layout below sllows the speaker setting we recommend. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and multi-
channel audio sources.
\
30 cm (12 in) or more
Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)
The front speakers are used for tile main source sotmd plus effect sounds. Place these speakers z_tan 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.
Surround left and right speakers (Sk and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.
Surround back left and right speakers (SBL and SBR)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.
Presence left and right speakers (PL and PR)
The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by the sound field
programs (see page 42). To use the presence speakers, connect the speakers to EXTRA SP terminals and then set "EXTRA
SP ASSIGN" to "PRESENCE" (see pages 29 and 72).

Subwoofer (SW)
The use of a snbvvoofer with a built-in amplifier, 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 sound reproduction
of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. 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.

• Basic configuration of sound field
programs
Each sound field progrmn has some parameters defining
the characteristics of the program. To customize the
selected sound field program, adjust "DSP LEVEL" and/
or "DIALG.LIFT' first, and then try other parameters.
To change sound field parameter settings, see page 61 fl)r details.
Adjusting the vertical dialogue position
(DIALG.LIFT)
Use this feature to adjust the vertical position of the
dialogues in movies. The ideal position of the dialogues is
at the center of the video monitor screen.
Adjusting the effect sound level of the sound
field programs (DSP LEVEL)
Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect
sounds) to the original source sound to create sound field
in the listening room. Use the "DSP LEVEL" parameter to
adjust the level of the effect sounds.
The DSP effect
sound level is low.
Adjust "DSP LEVEL" as follows:
Increase the value of "DSP LEVEL" when
• the effect sound of the selected sound field
program is too weak.
• you cannot recognize any difference between the
sound field programs.
Decrease the value of "DSP LEVEL" when
• the sound is vague.
• you feel that the additional sound effect is
excessive.
The DSP effect sound
level is high.

If the dialogues are heard at the lower position of the video
monitor screen, increase the value of "DIALG.LIFT".
Move up to the ideal dialogue position.
Choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
"0" (initial setting) is the lowest position, and "5" is the
highest position.

Initial delay. Presence. surround, and surround back sound field initial delay. Changes the
apparent distance l¥om the source sound by atljustiug the delay between the direct sound and the
first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to
the listener.
When you adjust the initial delay parameters, we also recommend that you a_liustthe
corresponding room size parameters likewise. This adjustment isespecially effective lot the

Room size. Presence. surround, and surround back room size. A@lsts the apparent size of the
surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. 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.

Livmmss. Surround and surround back sound field liveness. Attjusts the reflectivity of the virtual
walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. 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 surlaces is referred to as "live". This parameter
lets you a({iust the early rcflectiun decay rate and thus the "liveness" of the room.

This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone 2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce
separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone 2). You can control this unit from the second zone
using the supplied remote control.
Only analog signals are sent to the second zone. Any source you want to listen to in the second zone must he
connected to the analog AUDIO IN jacks of this unit.
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 the infrared signals from the remote control via the
infrared signal receiver in the second zone to a CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone.
• An amplifier and speakers in the second zone.
• Since there arc 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 Zone 2 connections that best meet your requirements.
• Some Ymnaha models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE jacks of this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to
use an inlbared signal emitter. Up to 6 Yamaha components can be connected as shown below.
