DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this system takes 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 wide range of
listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from sources
encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.

Digital Sound Field Processing

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 this same
sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the
sound of a live concert.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in
many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic
realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater
sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a
four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic
Surround system divides the input signal into four levels:
the left and right main channels, the center channel
(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels
(used for sound effects, background noise, and other
ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners
seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the
dialog originating from the action on the screen while
experiencing good stereo imaging.
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre­recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby

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.

Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder decodes the signal and distributes the
surround-sound effects.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a
digital signal processing system. This system improves
the stability of sound at each channel and minimizes
crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of
sounds around the room is more accurate compared
with conventional analog signal processing systems.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input
balance control. This always assures you the best
performance without manual adjustment.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a
large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie
theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a
sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in
your listening room, because the room size, materials of
inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your
listening room is much different from those of a movie
theater.
Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present
you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a
large movie theater in your listening room by
compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your

listening room with its original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround sound field.
The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP
is used on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED”.

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

Speaker configuration

This system employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2 front
speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for
the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker
is for the center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer is
for reinforcing low frequencies of the main source sound
and the center sounds.

Placing speakers

Front speakers: On both sides of the TV and in

almost the same height as the TV.

Rear speakers: Behind your listening position,

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

Center speaker: Precisely between the front

speakers.

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not

so critical because low bass tones
are not highly directional.

Connect the provided speakers (NX-AV1) to the
SPEAKERS terminals on the rear of SW-AV1.

All of the speakers (NX-AV1) are identical.

The speakers connected to the FRONT R and L
terminals should be used as the right and left front
speakers.
The speaker connected to the CENTER terminal
should be used as the center speaker.
The speakers connected to the REAR R and L
terminals should be used as the right and left rear
speakers.

Notes

● Do not connect speakers other than the provided
ones to SW-AV1.

● Use the provided speaker cords for the connections.
Normally, use the short cords to connect with the
front and center speakers, and use the long ones to
connect with the rear speakers.

● The provided tag sheet for speaker cords is useful
for preventing wrong connections between speakers
and SW-AV1.

How to Connect:

Connect the provided speaker cords between the
SPEAKERS terminals on the power
amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AV1) and the speaker
terminals on each speaker (NX-AV1) properly as
shown below. 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 the + and
– markings are observed. If these wires are reversed,
the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

As a sure method, connect the wire with a silver line to
the + terminals on both the power amplifier/subwoofer
(SW-AV1) and speaker, and connect the wire with no
line to the – terminals on both of them.

Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other
as this could damage SW-AV1 and/or speakers.

On SW-AV1:

Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)

On NX-AV1:

Red: positive (+)

Notes

The automatic preset tuning search will be performed

•
through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If

the number of received stations is less than 40, the
search will stop after searching all frequencies.
* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may

be a case that 40 preset stations are occupied by
FM stations only.

With this function, only stations with sufficient signal

•
strength are stored automatically. If the station you

want to program is weak in signal strength, tune in
to it with the Manual tuning method (in monaural)
and program it by following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on page 35.
You can replace a preset station by another FM or

•
AM (MW or LW) station manually by simply following

the procedure of the section “To store stations” on
page 35.

<For U.K. and Europe models only>

•
This tuner is originally set so that only RDS stations

are searched instead of all FM stations by this
operation. (FM stations that employ no RDS network
service cannot be programmed.)
However, you can change the setting so that the unit
can program not only RDS stations but also other
FM stations. (Refer to page 43 for details.)

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS <U.K. and Europe models only

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many
countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.
RDS data contains various information, such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY
(Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), etc.
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.
* This unit utilizes PS, PTY, RT and CT to receive RDS broadcast stations.

Displaying RDS data

This unit can be turned into the following four modes to display RDS data.

PS (Program Service name) mode:

Displays the name of the RDS station
now being received instead of the
frequency.

RT (Radio Text) mode:

Displays information about the program (such as title of
the song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station
now being received.

>

PTY (Program Type) mode:

Displays the type of the program on the RDS station
now being received. There are 15 program types to
classify RDS stations as shown on the next page.

CT (Clock Time) mode:

Displays current time. This signal comes from the RDS
station now being received. Time of the built-in clock
can be automatically corrected on the basis of this
signal.

PRO LOGI

When an RDS station is received, by pressing the
FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button once or more,
you can change the display mode among the RDS
modes employed by the received station in the order
shown below. (The RDS mode not employed by the
station cannot be selected.)

Notes

● If the received station is not an RDS station, pressing

the FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button displays
“NO RDS” on the display, and then it returns to the
frequency display mode.

● When an RDS station is received, the display is

automatically turned into the PS mode. Do not press
the FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button until the
display is turned into the PS mode. If the button is
pressed before the display mode is changed, it may
occur that “NO PS” appears on the display. This is
because the unit has not received all of the RDS
data on the station yet.

➀ Frequency display mode

The frequency of the station being received is
displayed.

➁ PS (Program Service name) mode

The name of the station being received is
displayed using characters selected from among
64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign.

* If other characters are used on the PS data,

they are displayed with underbars.

* “PS WAIT” may flash while the unit is

receiving the data.

* If the station does not employ the PS data

service, “NO PS” lights up on the display for
about 2 seconds and then returns to
frequency display mode.

➂ PTY (Program Type) mode

The type of the program on the station being
received is displayed.
In this mode, you can make this unit search for a
station which is broadcasting a program of your
desired program type. For details, refer to page

42.
* If the RDS station does not employ the PTY

data service, “NO PTY” lights up on the
display for about 2 seconds and then returns
to frequency display mode.

* If the station has PS data, after that, it turns

into the PS mode.

E-40

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS <U.K. and Europe models only

➃ RT (Radio Text) mode

Information about the program on the station
being received is displayed. Information is
displayed by a maximum of 64 Roman Alphabets
including umlaut sign.

* If other characters are used on the RT data,

they are displayed with underbars.
“RT WAIT” may flash while the unit is
receiving the data.

* If the RDS station does not employ the RT

data service, “NO RT” lights up on the display
for about 2 seconds and then returns to
frequency display mode.

* If the station has PS data, after that, it turns

into the PS mode.

➄ CT (Clock Time) mode

Current time is displayed in the following form.
The CT data from the station being received
changes every minute.

Notes

● RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the
received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the
RT (Radio Text mode) needs much data to be
received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be
displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.)
are displayed.

● There may be a case that RDS data reception is not
possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press
the AUTO/MAN’L button so that “AUTO” goes off
from the display. Though the reception mode is
changed to monaural by this operation, when you
change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may
be displayed.

● If the signal strength gets weakened by external

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

English

This system incorporates a sophisticated, multi­program digital sound field processor. The processor
allows you to electronically expand and change the
shape of the audio sound field from both audio and
video sources, creating a theater-like experience in
your listening room. You can create an excellent audio
sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program
(this will, of course, depend on what you will be
listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic
Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction
of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
can be controlled by selecting the DSP program,

PRO LOGIC or PRO LOGIC ENHANCED.

PROGRAM

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.

PRO LOGIC

The application of a sophisticated digital signal processing system reduces crosstalk and
directs or steers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, as compared to conventional
types.

Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field
Programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the
sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs.
Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital
recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data
for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations
using sophisticated sound field measurement
equipment.

Note
The channel level balance between the left and
right rear effect speakers may vary depending on
the sound field you are listening to. This is due to
the fact that most of these sound field recreations
are actual acoustic environments.

FEATURE

PRO LOGIC

ENHANCED

STADIUM

DISCO

CONCERT HALL

ROCK CONCERT

MONO MOVIE

CONCERT VIDEO

This program is also used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround
speaker systems of a 35 mm movie theater. This effect creates a wide surround sound field,
and expands the sound stage with an improved presence image. This program is used for
musical based movies, as well as drama and comedy based movies.

This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and
extraordinarily spacious feel of a large stadium.

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively
city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy,
“immediate” sound.

In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an
expansive large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.

This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively
sound field.

This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a
strictly mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the
speaker pair, lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used
with old mono movies, news broadcasts and dialog.

This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals.
For opera, the orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an
actual concert hall.
