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 environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from
Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Please read this owner’s manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.

Digital Sound Field Processing

ENGLISH

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

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets
you experience the dramatic realism and impact of
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 that 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

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 actual live
performance environments, all in your own home.

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

You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic with two modes
of Digital Sound field processing. These combinations
expand the surround effect. One is the “EN­HANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround which recre­ates the surround effect of the 35 mm film movie
theater. The other is the sound field program ”70 mm
MOVIE THEATER”. Which recreates the listening
experience of a 70mm film theater.

Directional Enhancement Circuit + DSP

The newly featured directional enhancement circuit
expands and focuses the digital sound field by
emphasizing position of sound.
This effect puts you in the midst of the action, while
centering and focusing your attention to the screen.
This circuit is available on the sound field program
“TV THEATER” and “SPORTS”.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates
these programs are created by the combination of
Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a fivespeaker configuration. The speakers to be
used with this unit will be front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound. These are usually a much larger, high-quality loudspeaker
than you will use for the surround sound effects. The center speaker is used for the center sound (dialog, etc.)
encoded with the Dolby Surround. And the rear speakers are used for special effects that enhance the surround
sound. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal to the front speakers. However, all the speakers
should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

Five-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recom­mended one. In this configuration, the center speaker
is used for dialog when you select the digital sound
field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY PRO
LOGIC ENHANCED, 70mm MOVIE THEATER, TV
THEATER, or SPORTS.

• Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or

“WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 19.)

Four-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If
the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC,
DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, 70mm MOVIE
THEATER, TV THEATER, or SPORTS is selected, the
center sound along with the front effects are output
from the left and the right front speakers. However,
the sound effect of other programs can be the same as
that of the other configurations.

• Be sure to set the center channel mode to the
“PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page

19.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The recommended speaker configuration, the five-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front
speakers and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following:

Front: In normal position. (The position of a standard

stereo speaker setup)

Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid

interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker.) When two center speakers are
used, place these to the right and left of your TV
set or video monitor.

Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly

inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.

For connecting to the SPEAKER terminals

Note on center speaker connection:

One or two center speakers can be connected to this
unit. If you cannot place the center speaker on or
under the TV, it is recommended to use two center
speakers and place them on both sides of the TV to
orient the center sound at the center position.
When connecting two center speakers, be sure to
press the CENTER speaker switch into the “C+D”
position( ). When you use a single center speaker, set
the switch to the “C” position ( ).

How to Connect:

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers
with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as pos­sible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be
heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity
of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – mark­ings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the
sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.

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

Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
