SETUP & ADJUSTMENT

1-1. GETTING STARTED

Unpacking
If you hav en’t already done so, carefully remove this unit and its accessories from the box and wrapping material. You should find the unit itself and the following accessories.
Remote control
Installing the Remote Control Unit Batteries
Since the remote control unit will be used for many of this unit’s control operations, you should begin b y installing the supplied batteries.
1. Turn the remote control unit over and slide the battery compartment cover downward in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert the batteries (LR6, AA, UM-3 type), being careful to align them with the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment.
Batteries User program sheets
3. Close the battery compartment cover.

Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Toda y’s advanced
sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, b ut chances are y ou’ll still notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the e xact 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. What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate an y one of these liv e performance environments, all in your o wn home .
Notes
There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit.
If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control transmitter to work incorrectly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets y ou experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround mo vie theater sound in your own home. Dolb y Pro Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective channel separ ation for a much higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in today’s typical home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so that there are four independent channels, unlik e passive Dolby Surround, which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This 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.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and 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 y ou the best performance without manual adjustment.
You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic with tw o 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 “MO VIE THEATER”, which recreates the listening experience of a 70 mm film theater .
Directional Enhancement Circuit + DSP
The YAMAHA directional enhancement (DIR. ENHANCEMENT) circuit expands and f ocuses the digital sound field.
This effect puts you in the midst of the action, while centering and focusing your attention to the screen. This circuit is available on Sound Field programs “CONCERT VIDEO” and “TV THEATER”.

Setting Up Your Speaker System
Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full sev en-speak er system setup, using two extr a pairs of effect speakers to gener ate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog, when using Dolb y Pro Logic Surround decoding. We theref ore recommend that y ou use a seven-speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgr ade to the full seven speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still performed, but the main speakers are used for both the main channels and the front effect channels.
With digital sound field programs No . 7 through No. 12, by using either the Directional Enhancement circuit or the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, decoded signals will be output from the center channel. Therefore, if y ou w ant to upgr ade the Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended to use the center speaker unit.
If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speak er, it is possible to enjoy mo vie vie wing without it. Best results , ho w e ver , are obtained with the full system.
It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Activ e Servo Processing Sub Woofer System, which has its own built-in pow er amp.

Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended 4 Speaker System
Simplest system.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear.
5 Speaker System
Good for Audio/Video sources and Dolby Pro Logic Surround.
With sound field programs No. 7 through No. 12, which utilize the center speaker effect, more precise center localization can be obtained.
6 Speaker System
Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources.
With sound field programs No. 1 through No. 6, a sound effect matching that of a 7-speaker system can be obtained. The addition of front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective sound field.
7 Speaker System
This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects.
With sound field programs No. 1 through No. 6, using both sets of effect speakers (front and rear), reproduces the most effective sound field. With the sound field programs No. 7 through No. 12, the center speaker provides precise center localization.

Speakers and Speaker Placement
Main speaker Effect speaker Center speaker
Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS, and the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a subwoof er.
You will probably use your present stereo speak ers as the MAIN SPEAKER pair. The front effect, rear effect do not need to be equal with the MAIN SPEAKERS, although the center speaker should be as close as possible. They should have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of the DSP system or the external amps that will drive them.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.
Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a fe w feet behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.
NOTE: The Yamaha NS-C90 speak er, available in some countries, is an ideal choice for the center speaker.
Place the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly six feet up from the floor.
Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interf erence , k eep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.)
If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo Sub­woofer System, the position of the speak er is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

Rear Panel Switch and Control Settings
General Instructions for Connections
There are sever al switches and controls on the rear panel that you’ll hav e to chec k before operating your system, and it’s a good idea to do it before you connect cab les . Locate the MAIN LEVEL control (A) and FRONT MIX slide switch (:) at the bottom of the MAIN terminal group. Make sure the MAIN LEVEL control is set to its max (10) position and that the FRONT MIX switch is set to “OFF” for 7 or 6 speaker driving.
In a 5 or 4 speaker system, set the FRONT MIX switch to “ON”.
Next, set the NTSC/PAL switch (9) to the position corresponding to the standard which your video equipments employ. (General Model only)
Make sure that you ha v e the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Lik ewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the other plugs for the “L” jacks.
With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker . To keep tr ac k of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color.
