What you can do with the GUI menu

By configuring the parameters in the GUI menu of this unit, you can adjust a variety of system settings suited for your listening environment. The following is a brief description of some of the useful menus you can configure in the GUI menu. For more detailed information, see “Graphical user interface (GUI) menu” (page 81).

Fine adjusting the speaker settings

In case speaker settings configured by automatic setup does not match your listening environment, you can configure them manually. Setup → Speaker (page 93)

Specifying the muting type

In case you do not want to fully mute audio when you receive a call while watching your favorite TV program, you can use this menu to specify the muting level. Setup → Vol um e → Muting Type (page 95)

Specifying the initial volume level

By adjusting this parameter, you can automatically control the initial volume level regardless of the recording level of the audio source. Setup → Vol um e → Initial Volume (page 95)

Adjusting the dynamic range

The dynamic range is the difference between the minimum and maximum amplitude. The higher the dynamic range, the more accurate the sound reproduction for bitstream signals. You can adjust the dynamic range for speakers and headphones individually. Also, you can use the adaptive dynamic range control feature to adjust the dynamic range automatically in conjunction with the volume level. Setup → Sound → Dynamic Range (page 96) Setup → Vol um e → Adaptive DRC (page 95)

Adjusting the audio and video synchronization

Sometimes, depending on your video source component, video is delayed relative to audio due to processing problems. In this case, you need to manually adjust the audio delay to keep it synchronized with the video. If you connect the video source component to this unit using an HDMI connection and your component supports the LIPSYNC feature, you can adjust the audio/video synchronization automatically. Setup → Sound → Lipsync (page 98)

Changing input/output assignment

In case the initial input/output assignments do not correspond to your needs, you can rearrange them according to your component to be connected to this unit. You can also edit the input name to be displayed in the front panel or in the GUI screen as necessary. Setup → Option → I/O Assignment (page 105) Setup → Option → Input Rename (page 105)

Fixing the volume difference between input sources

The sound output level may vary depending on the audio source components connected to this unit. In this case, you can reduce or increase the output level of each input source using this feature. Input Select → (input source) → (submenu) → Volume Trim (page 90)

Setting the background video for discrete multichannel input

If you want to enjoy video images in combination with discrete multi-channel audio input, configure this setting to specify the video input source. For example, to view DVD video images while listening to the music sources from a multi-format player or an external decoder, set this setting to “DVD”. Input Select → MULTI CH → (submenu) → BGV (page 91)

Adjusting the brightness of the front panel display

You can make the front panel display darker or brighter by configuring this setting. Setup → Option → Display Set → Front Panel Display →

Dimmer (page 105)

Turning on or off the short message display

Each time you operate this unit using controls on the front panel or remote control keys, this unit displays short messages on the video monitor. If you want to turn off the short message display, select “Off” in this setting (Initial factory setting is “On”). Setup → Option → Display Set → Short Message

(page 105)

Setting the amount of time to display GUI screen information

You can set the amount of time to display playback information in the GUI screen after you perform a certain operation. Setup → Option → Display Set → Playback Screen (page 106)

Protecting the setup values

After you have configured the sound field program parameters and other system settings, you can use this feature to prevent accidental changes to those setup values. Setup → Option → Memory Guard (page 105)

Placing speakers

The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend.

• 7.1-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback of the high definition digital audio sources (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) with sound field programs.

• We recommend that you add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program.

• The surround back speakers and presence speakers do not output sound simultaneously.

■ Speaker types

Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an 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 (SL and SR)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. For 5.1-channel speaker layout, place these speakers farther back compared with the placement in the 7.1channel speaker layout.

Surround back left and right speakers (SBL and SBR)/Surround back speaker (SB)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions. For 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and right channel signals are mixed down and output at the single surround back speaker by configuring the “Surround Back” setting ( For 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and right channel signals are output at the surround left and right speakers by configuring the “Surround Back” setting

page 93).

(

Subwoofer (SW)

The use of a subwoofer 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 reproducing the high fidelity sound of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in bitstreams and multi-channel PCM 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.

page 93).

■ 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 (page 46). We recommend that you use the presence speakers especially for the CINEMA DSP sound field programs. To use the presence speakers, connect the

“

Front

”

Presence

1.8 m (6 ft)

to “Ye s” (

0.5 to 1 m (1 to 3 ft) 0.5 to 1 m (1 to 3 ft)

page 93

For other speaker combinations

You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field programs by using a speaker combination other than the 7.1/6.1/5.1-channel speaker combinations. Use the automatic setup feature (page 35) or set the “Speaker” parameters (

page 93). to output the surround

sounds at the connected speakers.

16 En

Page 17

Connections

Connecting speakers

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 (page 31).

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

• Use 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 “SPEAKER IMP.” to “6Ω MIN” before using this unit (page 31). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers (page 130).

Notes

• A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

• You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, however they do not output sound simultaneously. This unit automatically switches the presence speakers and surround back speakers depending on the input sources and the selected sound field programs.

Descriptions of the characteristics of the sound field programs

Following indexes indicates the characteristics and trends of each sound field program.

Note

The characteristics of the sound field programs may differ depending on the settings of the listening room, etc.

Sound field programs

Size of sound field space (Size)

Small Large

Indicates the size of the sound field to be generated. If the value for this item is small, the sound is that of a small space, while if the value is large, the sound is that of a vast space.

Vertical/horizontal balance (V/H balance)

Vertical Horizontal

Indicates the balance of the vertical (height) and horizontal directions for the sound field to be generated. If this item is more in the horizontal direction, the sound is that of a space with strong reflections from the walls, while if it is more in the vertical direction, the sound is that of a space with strong reflections from the ceiling.

Front/rear balance (F/R balance)

Front Rear

A CINEMA DSP sound field processing expressing whether the effect is stronger towards the front or rear. When the effect is stronger towards the front, the listener senses a feeling of openness and depth towards the screen, while when the effect is stronger towards the rear, the listener gets a sense of envelopment and movement. Suits basically all types of contents for programs with a good front/rear balance, and is effective when selected appropriately for programs in which the balance is more towards either the front or rear.

Sound field atmosphere (Atmosphere)

Simple Complex

The sound field to be generated is evaluated according to whether it is nearer to one or the other of the following; Simple: Sounds that fade straight-forwardly, with a light, gentle impression, depending on the program. This suits almost all contents relatively well, but provides little brilliance or powerfulness. Complex: Sounds transform in complex ways as they fade out, with a rich, brilliant impression, depending on the program. This is extremely effective for the right contents, but is suited for a smaller range of contents.

Calm Powerful

The sound field to be generated is evaluated according to whether it is nearer to one or the other of the following; Calm: An overall composed, moderate effect, stressing the overall quality of the atmosphere without aiming at any extreme effects. This suits almost all contents relatively well, but provides little showiness or powerfulness. Powerful: Designed with specific contents in mind (expressing vast spaces, feverish excitement, etc.). This is extremely effective for the right contents, but is suited for a smaller range of contents.

Hall in Amsterdam

The large, shoe box shaped hall seats about 2200 around the circle stage. Reflections are rich and pleasing while the sound travels freely.

Church in Freiburg

Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church has a pointed tower at 120 meters in height. Its long and narrow shape and the high ceiling enable the elongated reverberation time and limited initial reflection time. Thus, the rich reverberation rather than the sound itself reproduces the atmosphere of the church.

Chamber

This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like an audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.

LIVE/CLUB

Village Vanguard

The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low ceiling makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in the corner.

You can enjoy good quality sound with the initial factory settings. Although you do not have to change the initial factory settings, you can change some of the parameters to better suit the input source or your listening room.

To customize the program parameter settings, press 0SUBMENU to turn on the submenu after you select the desired program.

■ Basic configuration of sound field programs

Each sound field program has some parameters defining the characteristics of the program. To customize the selected sound field program, adjust “DSP Level” and/or “Dialogue Lift” first, and then try other parameters.

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 ideal dialogue position

If the dialogues are heard at the lower position of the video monitor screen, increase the value of “Dialogue 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.

Notes

• “Dialogue Lift” is available when “Front Presence” is set to “Yes” (page 93) and headphones are not connected.

• You cannot move the dialogue position down from the initial dialogue position.

• 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.

Initial delay. Presence, surround, and surround back sound field initial delay. Changes the apparent size of the sound field by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the smaller the sound field seems to the listener.

When you adjust the initial delay parameters, we also recommend that you adjust the corresponding room size parameters likewise.

Room size. Presence, surround, and surround back room size. Adjusts the apparent size of the 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.

When you adjust the room size parameters, we also recommend that you adjust the corresponding initial delay parameters likewise.

Liveness. Surround and surround back liveness. Adjusts 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 surfaces is referred to as “live”. This parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate and thus the “liveness” of the room.
