■ Digital Sound Fields (DSP)

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision, and power. However, something has been missing: the atmosphere and acoustic ambience of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields have been created using data measured at the original venue; others have been created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Some have been designed especially for music, and others especially for movies. Of course, this only solves half of the problem. Because these engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your entertainment room, we have made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following surround sound technologies.

■ CINEMA-DSP: Dolby Digital + DSP and DTS + DSP

The Dolby Digital system and DTS system show their full capability in large movie theaters, because feature film soundtracks are designed to be reproduced in such environments. It is difficult to recreate a sound environment similar to a movie theater in your entertainment room because of the room size, wall materials, and the number of speakers in your entertainment system. Yamaha DSP technology makes it possible for you to enjoy nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your entertainment room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your entertainment room with Yamaha's original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks.H

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT CINEMA DSP

Yamaha developed the Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm which allows you to experience the virtual sound fields without surround speakers. This makes it possible for the RX-Z1 to produce a full surround sound catering to the number of speakers you have. The RX-Z1 also has a SILENT CINEMA DSP algorithm which is achieved by the crosstalk processing applying the precise Head Related Transfer Function. You can therefore enjoy listening to the CINEMA DSP soundfields on headphones.

■ Various decoders to support the newest sound effect technology

This unit is equipped with the following signal format decoders.

• Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX

The Matrix decoder enables 6.1-channel playback of the 5.1-channel sources by extracting the rear center channel signals from the rear L/R channel signals.

•DOLBY PRO LOGIC

•DOLBY PRO LOGIC

DOLBY PRO LOGIC is the improved technique to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with two left and right main channels, a center channel, and two left and right rear channels compared with one limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic technology. Also the music mode is available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie mode.

• DTS and DTS ES

The RX-Z1 is also equipped with a DTS decoder, which uses a 5.1-channel system to create a full surround sound environment. It was developed as a way to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six channels of digital sound. In comparison with Dolby Digital, DTS uses less compression to store the sound information. The newly presented DTS ES system reproduces digital sound similar to Dolby Digital EX. The use of the rear center speaker along with the existing 5.1-channel speakers provides a fully immersive cinematic audio experience.

• DTS Neo: 6

Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6-channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources and “Cinema mode” for movies.

• DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1 channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz/24 bit.

E-4

FEATURES

■ Various input and output jacks

The RX-Z1 has various output jacks for audio and video signals as well as a digital recording output jack. Many input jacks are also available for connection to multiple audio-video sources. All the video inputs and outputs have S-video jacks in addition to standard composite video jacks for improved video picture quality. Component video input and output jacks are also available to deliver the excellent video signals from DVD players and other high quality video sources. The coaxial and optical digital signal jacks (provided for direct transmission of digital signals) automatically detect Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM signals. A demodulator circuit is built into the Dolby Digital RF input so you can connect it directly to the Dolby Digital RF signal output on your LD player. Additionally, there are six audio inputs for discrete multichannel reproduction from an external decoder.

The RX-Z1 also comes with a monaural subwoofer jack and split subwoofer jacks which can reproduce delicate but powerful low frequency effects.

INTRODUCTION

■ Intelligent remote control

The intelligent remote control can be used with most components that understand infrared (IR) remote control signals. Its easy-to-use touch screen and its intuitive interface make it the perfect remote control for every user.

The remote control (RC) is completely customizable. In the memory of the remote control, RC codes are stored to activate different brands of all kinds of video and audio components. The remote control is set up by default to operate with YAMAHA components. If you have other brands, you simply define the brands of your components when you use the remote control for the first time.

The remote control can also learn RC codes from existing remote controls. It is designed to add components and functions, relabel buttons, record macros and set timers. With the RAVedit software you create your own control panels and define your personal look.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right main speakers, a center speaker, the left and right rear speakers, the left and right front effect speakers, and a rear center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to produce a fuller sound.

1.5 – 1.8 m (5 – 6 feet)

Center speaker (C)

Main speaker (L)

Rear center speaker (RC)

Rear effect speaker (RL)

■ 8-speaker configuration –full CINEMA-DSP–

When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack audio. The dialogue is positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is positioned slightly behind the screen, and the soundtrack music is positioned even further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation. This configuration makes the most of this unit's capability.

	RL		RC	RR

Speakers to be used

•Main L/R

•Center

•Rear L/R

•Front effect L/R

•Rear center

■ 6-speaker configuration –Hi-Fi DSP–

This configuration is used the most for audio playback with Hi-Fi DSP. It does not position the dialogue sound as well as a 7- or 8-speaker configuration. However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field which adds depth to the sound.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

E-15

PREPARATIONS

English

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Caution

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

■ Placing the main speakers

	TV or video
Main	monitor	Main
speaker		speaker

Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.

■ Placing the center speaker

TV or video monitor

Center speaker

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the monitor, the front effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen in your system, place the center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker with the center of the screen.

■ Placing the front effect, rear and rear center speakers

1m	0.5 - 1m	1.5 - 3m	0.5 - 1m 1m
(3ft)	(1 - 3ft)	(5 - 15ft)	(1 - 3ft)	(3ft)
	FL		FR
		C	R
	L
RL		RC		RR

These speakers should be placed about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 feet) outside the main speakers and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position. Place the rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position. The rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the front effect speakers. Place these speakers at the height of 1.5 m when listening as sitting on the floor or 1.8 m when listening as sitting on the chair.

Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement until you obtain a balanced sound from the main speakers and the front effect and rear speakers.

This distance can be farther than the front effect speakers’.

■ When you use a projection screen

		Screen
		1
L	1/4	R
		C

Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.

The main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen.

Place the center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The center speaker provides precise dialogue localization.

When you use a projection screen with your system, the front effect speakers provide better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs (see pages __ to __) raise the sound from the center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding with the video images.

E-16

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

■ Placing the subwoofers

Place the front subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

If you use a rear subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The placement of the rear subwoofer is not critical because of the ultra low frequencies of the sound being reproduced.

By adding a high quality subwoofer to the speaker configurations shown on page __, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic movie effects, even if your main speakers are large.

PREPARATIONS

Front subwoofer

Rear subwoofer

Note

•If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your configuration, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.

You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the SET MENU (see pages __ and __). If you are using small speakers, the addition of a subwoofer will reinforce the sound effects of movies.

Ground (GND terminal)

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the antenna GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

■ Connecting the AM loop antenna

1 Set up the AM loop antenna, then connect it.

2 Press and hold the tab to insert the AM loop antenna lead wires into the AM ANT and GND terminals.

A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about the outdoor antennas.

3 Orient the AM loop antenna for the beat reception.

Notes

•The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit.

•The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

1 Composite VIDEO jack

Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite video signals.

2 S VIDEO jack

Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals achieve high quality color reproduction. When you are using the S VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the component being connected.

3 COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR) video signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal. The labels of the component video jacks may be different depending on the component (e.g. Y, CB, CR / Y, PB, PR / Y, B-Y, R-Y/ etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction. When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the component being connected.

Cautions

•Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jacks, and commercially available video cables when connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

•Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite video, S-video, and component jacks are output through the corresponding composite video, S-video, and component jacks respectively.

•If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks of this unit, the OSD is not shown.

Note

•You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A, B and C jacks according to your component by using “8 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page __ for details).
