a Installation

Place the unit on a flat surface, such as the top of a TV stand, and then place the TV on top of the unit. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for
example, it may be easier to connect external devices to this unit first. See pages 14 to 16 for information regarding the connection of external devices.

Notes

• Be sure to install this unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.

• Do not raise the antenna until after the TV is placed on top of the unit. The antenna, the unit, the TV, and any other devices in the near vicinity may be damaged if the TV snags the antenna when it is placed on top of the
unit. Take all necessary precautions to prevent this from happening as it may lead to unexpected injury.

• The unit’s speakers are not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the unit.

• Do not stack the unit directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.

• Never fix the unit to a wall or other surface using a fall prevention device, such as wire or bracket, supplied with the TV. Doing so may cause the unit fall together with the TV if an accident such as an earthquake occurs.
Read the instruction manual of your TV carefully and fix the TV to a wall or sturdy object following the instruction.

Connecting to a network

You can choose between wired network connection and wireless network connection (p. 31) depending upon your network environment.
Network connection allows you to listen to Internet radio stations and play music files with AirPlay or your computer (media service) via this unit. You can operate the unit with a mobile

device to which the MusicCast CONTROLLER app has been installed, allowing you to enjoy listening to a variety of audio sources via this unit.

Wired network connections

• Some security software installed on your computer, or network device settings (such as a firewall), may
block the unit’s access to your computer or Internet radio stations. Should this occur, change security
software and/or network device settings.

• A network connection cannot be established if the MAC address filter on your router is enabled. Check your
router’s settings.

• To configure your router’s subnet mask manually, apply the same subnet used by this unit to all devices.

• Use of a broadband connection is recommended when using Internet services.

To use a wired network connection, connect the unit to a router via an STP network
cable (category 5 or higher straight cable; not supplied).

• If your router supports DHCP, network settings for the unit need not be configured. Network parameters
(such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically. If your router does not support DHCP, or if you
prefer to configure network parameters manually, you must configure network settings yourself (p. 53).

• You can verify that network parameters (such as the IP address) have been properly assigned to the unit by
selecting “Information” (p. 53) from the setup menu.

The unit achieves its surround sound effects by projecting sound beams which reflect
off walls. The sound beams are not reflected toward to the listening position caused by
furniture, etc., in the path of sound beams, or the room shape. In this case, the sound
may become unbalanced.

If the sound beams are not reflected toward to the listening position (figure 2), you can
adjust for this by installing the optional sound reflection board YRB-100.

How to install YRB-100

The unit outputs sound beams according to the “Position” settings (p. 18) as shown in
the following illustrations.

Install the YRB-100 in the path of the sound beam.

• YRB-100 may not be available in some countries or regions.

• After installing the sound reflection board, refer to the YRB-100 owner’s manual to
adjust the height and angle. Playing test-tones from “Channel Level” in the setup
menu is recommended when adjusting the board (p. 49).

• By installing the board close to your listening position, you can achieve clear surround
sound positioning.

Note

• This unit does not have the function to automatically adjust sound beam angles. It is not necessary to

adjust the sound beam angles, although the procedure is described in the owner’s manual.

What is Surround Sound?

Surround sound offers the sense of being surrounded by sounds, an
experience common in concert halls and movie theaters. This can be
achieved by surrounding the audience with numerous speakers from
which sound is output uniformly in all directions. This “surround
sound” technology immerses the listener in sound with speakers
positioned not only in front of the listener, but also behind and to the
sides of the listener, making him or her feel as if they are actually in
the situation.

For precise directional control and quality of sound reproduction,
sounds must be split into separate audio channels for output to each
speaker. Surround sound systems for regular home use (5.1-channel
speaker systems) produce surround sound using five speakers and
a subwoofer, as shown below:

As explained above, sounds can be reproduced for a great sense of
presence by installing multiple speakers. However, this can be
difficult to do in a living room. This unit utilizes “digital sound
projector” technology to provide a realistic and engaging surround
sound experience using only a slim center unit and subwoofer.

What is a Digital Sound Projector?

A digital sound projector separately controls compact speakers
installed in orderly rows, so that optimized audio signals are output
from each speaker and synthesized as highly focused sounds
(sound beams).

When these focused sounds hit a hard wall, they are reflected off of
the wall. A digital sound projector outputs sound beams from five
channels, including front (left/right), center, and surround (left/right)
channels, by reflecting these beams off of walls so that sounds reach
the listener from the appropriate direction. It features a technology
that enables true surround sound without requiring the installation of
speakers in front of, or behind, the listener.

Yam ah a’s Au di o Tec hno log ies

This unit features many more functions based on Yamaha’s superior
audio technologies.

Compressed Music Enhancer

This technology enhances and extends bass and treble, which tend
to be weak in digitally compressed formats such as MP3 used with
portable digital audio players and computers. This makes
compressed audio sound more musically dynamic.
With this unit, Compressed Music Enhancer is automatically
activated when audio is input from a Bluetooth device.

CINEMA DSP

This technology enables precise digital recreation of actual acoustic
environments found in well-known concert halls and movie theaters.
This is achieved using Yamaha’s exclusive sound field programs,
which are based on data measured in various sound fields, and with
which the amplitude, depth, and volume of sounds have been
adjusted.

Clear Voice

This technology enables clear playback of speech (dialog,
narrations, etc.) while maintaining the quality of background sound
(music, sound effects, etc.). It enhances the acoustic characteristics
of speech sounds and increases the perceived volume level.

Glossary

Audio/video information

Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth

These are values that represent the amount of information used to convert analog signals to digital signals.
They may be expressed as 48kHz/24bit, for example.

• Sampling Frequency

This defines the number of samples per second (sampling a finite set of discrete values in an analog
signal). The higher the sampling rate, the broader the range of frequencies that can be played back.

• Bit Depth

This defines the amplitude value of sounds when quantifying analog signals as finite values. The higher
the bit depth, the deeper sounds are reproduced.

Deep Color

This is a video technology supported by the HDMI standard. It processes RGB or YCbCr signals at bit
depths of 10, 12, or 16 bits per color, whereas conventional formats utilize only 8-bit processing, enabling
reproduction of more colors. Its gamut is comprised of a billion or more colors, while the gamuts of
conventional formats are comprised of only millions of colors or less. This broader gamut results in more
precise reproduction of colors and greater detail in darker portions.

Dolby Digital

This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It was developed by Dolby Laboratories, and is widely
used with DVD discs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

This technology converts audio signal recorded in 2 channels to 5-channel signal.

DTS Digital Surround

This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels developed by DTS. It is widely used with DVD discs.

FLAC

FLAC is a file format for lossless audio data compression. FLAC is inferior to lossy compressed audio
formats in compression rate but provides higher audio quality.

HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a digital audio/video interface that has become an industry
standard around the world. It is capable of transmitting both digital video and audio signals intact via a
single cable. It is also compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard. See
http://www.hdmi.org for more information.

MP3

One of the compressed digital audio format used by MPEG. With psychoacoustic technologies, this
compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of compressing data
quantity by about 1/10 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.

MPEG-4 AAC

An MPEG-4 audio standard. It is used for mobile telephones, portable audio players, and audio streaming
services on Internet because it allows a high compression rate of data while maintaining better audio quality
than MP3.

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)

This technology records analog audio signals in digital form, converts analog audio signals to digital audio
signals, and transmits analog audio signals in digital form. It is the underlying technology for all digital audio
signal systems, and is widely used with CDs, Blu-ray Discs, and many other types of media as a
uncompressed audio format known as Linear PCM.

WAV

Windows standard audio file format, which defines the method of recording the digital data obtained by
converting audio signals. By default, the PCM method (no compression) is used, but you can also use other
compression methods.

WMA (Windows Media Audio)

One of the compressed digital audio formats developed by Microsoft Corporation. With psychoacoustic
technologies, this compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of
compressing data quantity by about 1/20 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.

x.v.Color

This is a color space supported by HDMI. It has become an international standard for video and offers a
broader gamut than does the sRGB standard for expression of colors never before possible. It expands the
color space while ensuring compatibility with the sRGB standard for more natural and vivid images.

Network information

SSID

SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a particular wireless LAN access point.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the Internet wirelessly
using radio waves. Wi-Fi offers the advantage of eliminating the complexity of making connections with
network cables by using wireless connection. Only products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability
tests can carry the “Wi-Fi Certified” trademark.

WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which allows easy
establishment of a wireless home network.
