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.
12 En
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), "+" (red) and .... (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.
Caution
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 25).
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or let them touch any metal part of this unit. This coukt damage
this unit and/or the speakers. If the speaker wires are short-circuited, "CHECK SP WIRES" appears in the front
panel display when you turn on this unit.
• Use the magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.
• If you are to use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set "SP IMR" to "6f.) MIN" before using this unit (see page 25). 4 ohm
speakers can be also used as the front speakers (see page 94).

Caution
Remove the shorting bars or bridges of your speakers
to separate the LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high

This unit allows you to make bi-amplification connections
to one speaker system. Check if your speakers support bi-
amplification.
To make the bi-amplification connections, use the FRONT

below. To activate the bi-amplification connections, set
"BI-AMP" to "ON" in "ADVANCED SETUP" (see

@ SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack
Connect a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier.
@ CENTER PRE OUT jack
Center channel output jack.
• Connecting a multi-format player or an external decoder
This unit ts equipped w,ith 6 additional input jacks (left and right FRONT, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and
SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a nmlti-format player, external decoder, sound processor or pre-
anaplifier.
If you set "INPUT CH" to "8CH" in "MULTI CH SET" (see page 80), you can use the input jacks assigned as "FRONT"
in "MULTI CH SET" (see page 80) together with the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to input 8-channel signals.
Connect the output jacks on your multi-format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to
match the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.
notes
• When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 38), this unit automatically
turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.
• This unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate lbr missing speakers. We recommend that
you connect at least a 5. I-channel speaker system belbre using this feature.
