CONNECTIONS

Video connections

You can connect the unit’s video output to a video monitor, or the video input on an AV amplifier (which in turn is con­nected to a video monitor). Connecting to an AV amplifier enables you to control audio and video using the AV amplifier. You can set up the AV amplifier using this unit’s OSD (on-screen display).
This unit features several types of video output jacks. Determine the one compatible with the inputs on your video monitor. Use the appropriate cable to connect the unit to an AV amplifier, and the AV amplifier to the moni­tor.
1 S VIDEO outputs (1, 2)
The S VIDEO jacks output discrete C and Y signals to reproduce higher-quality images than normal compos­ite video. Connect one end of an S Video cable (not included) to either S VIDEO jack. Connect the other end to an S Video input on an AV amplifier or video monitor.
2 VIDEO outputs (1, 2)
The VIDEO jacks output normal composite video sig­nals. Use the yellow plugs on an audio/video cable to connect either VIDEO jack to a video input on an AV amplifier or video monitor. The same signal is output from VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2, enabling connection to two devices (e.g., a monitor and an AV amplifier) simultaneously.
3 COMPONENT outputs
(U.S.A. and Australian models only)
These jacks output three discrete CCY signals (“com­ponent video”) to reproduce a higher-quality image than S Video.
(U.S.A. model only)
This unit features a DCDi circuit (with the latest con­tour correction technology) and progressive output, which produces very smooth and natural high-quality pictures even on a big screen. Use a component video cable (not included) to connect the COMPONENT output jacks to the component video input connectors on an AV amplifier or video monitor.
Note
• Do not connect this unit to a video monitor through a video cassette recorder. If you do so, the picture may not play back properly due to the copyright protection tech­nology incorporated in this unit.

3 6CH DISCRETE jacks
Playing SACD or DVD multi-channel audio:
Use an audio pin cable (not included) to connect these jacks to the corresponding channel inputs (such as MAIN L/R, CENTER) on the amplifier (often labelled “6CH INPUT”).
Connect the SUBWOOFER jack to the subwoofer input on the amplifier. This jack outputs a more natu­ral, high-fidelity low range relative to the SUB OUT/ BASS MGMT jack explained belo w. However, during playback of a two-channel (stereo) source, the sub­woofer does not output any sound due to lack of LFE (low-frequency effects assigned to a subwoofer).

SUB OUT/BASS MGMT aggregates and outputs the low ranges of all channels. An alternative to 6CH DIS­CRETE SUBWOOFER output, this jack outputs a powerful and supple sound even when the main speaker is small (with a woofer diameter of 16cm or less). Use an audio pin cable (not included) to connect the SUB OUT/BASS MGMT jack to the subwoofer input on the amplifier.

Remote control in/out jack

These jacks are used in custom installations to transmit remote control signals via cable.
• Connect REMO TE CONTROL IN to an output on your remote control system.

GLOSSARY

Bitstream
In this manual, “bitstream” refers to the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel audio) before it is decoded into its various channels.
CINEMA DSP
The Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, and theaters remain the premiere listening experience—especially movie theaters with complex speaker and sound systems, optimized for acoustics and special effects. There is a great variety in the sound quality of listening environments in homes, due to variables such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, etc. A result of extensive research, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP utilizes YAMAHA original sound field technology to com­bine three systems—Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS—to create a theater-quality visual and audio experi­ence in your home.
Decoder
A device or program that translates (decodes) encoded data on DVDs into an appropriate format.
Dolby Digital
A method for coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. In addition to stereo (2-channel) audio, Dolby Digital signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system in which a 4-channel audio track is recorded as two channels, then restored to four channels for playback. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique for decoding data that was encoded by Dolby Surround software. This new technology enables discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front channels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels (instead of only 1 rear channel as with conventional Pro Logic technology). A music mode is also available for 2­channel sources in addition to the movie mode.
Frames
Moving pictures are composed of a sequence of still images called frames. About 30 frames are shown each second (30fps). Each frame is composed of two interlaced fields. A television displays these fields in rapid succes­sion to create frames.
Frame stills and field stills
A frame still is an image composed of two alternating fields. Edges may be slightly blurry, but the overall image quality is high.
field still is an image composed from only one of the
A two fields. The picture is not blurry, but contains only half of the visual information of a frame still.
Group
A DVD audio disc is divided into large sections called “groups” and smaller sections called “tracks.” The num­bers allocated to these sections are called “group num­bers” and “track numbers.”
DVD-A
Interlaced and progressive output
NTSC, the video signal standard, uses 525 interlaced (i) scan lines. Progressive scanning uses twice that number of scan lines and is called 525p. The 525i video signals out­put from the unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y , PB, PR) allow you to enjoy higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the video output jack or S VIDEO OUT jack. The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are also able to handle 525p (progressive) video sig­nals, which are of even greater resolution.
LFE 0.1 channel
This channel reproduces low bass signals in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it generates only a low frequency range relativ e to the full-range reproduced by the other five channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 system.
PCM
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) converts analog wa ves into digital signals. It is commonly used in the creation of music CDs. DVDs allow greater volume, and hence use linear PCM, which has a higher sampling rate. Com­pressed PCM signals are called packed PCM (PPCM).
Matrix 6.1
The unit incorporates a Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby Dig­ital and DTS multi-channel software that enables 6.1­channel reproduction by adding a rear center channel to an existing 5.1-channel format. (The rear center channel is created from rear left and right channels, and output from a virtual rear center speaker.) With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sounds, especially in scenes with “fly-over” and “fly­around” effects.

NOTES ON HANDLING DISCS

VCD CDSACD DVD-A
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video discs are produced with the inten­tion of being viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can view most mate­rial at the intended aspect ratio on a widescreen television. Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard televi­sion with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Two picture styles, “Pan&Scan” and “Letterbox,” resolve this issue. Pan&Scan: The sides of the image are trimmed so the
picture can fill the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear across the top and bot-
tom of the image. The picture appears at an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Playback control (PBC)
The term “playback control” on a Video CD or its packag­ing indicates that certain scenes or information may viewed interactively or navigated by menu. This unit can play Video CDs that feature playback control.
Sampling frequency and quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the signal is sampled per second constitutes the sam­pling frequency. The degree of fineness with which a sound level is converted into a numeric value is deter­mined by the number of quantized bits.
SILENT CINEMA
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that you can enjoy accurate representations of all sound fields.
Title/Chapter
DVD-Video discs are divided into large sections (titles), and smaller sections (chapters). The numbers allocated to these sections are referred to as title numbers and chapter numbers.
DVD-V
Track
A track is the smallest division on DVD-Audio, CD, and Video CD discs. It usually equates to a single song.
Virtual CINEMA DSP
YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP algo­rithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects without center or rear speakers—by using “virtual rear speakers.”
NOTES ON HANDLING DISCS
• Hold discs by touching only the edges or center hole.
• Do not leave a disc in the tray (if you do not plan to play it).
• Do not write anything on discs using a pencil or other sharp writing tool.
• Do not use disc surface protectors (e.g., damage-resis­tant film).
• Store discs in an appropriate case.
• Do not use any disc that has had its surface printed by a commercially-available label printer.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high tempera­ture or high humidity for a long period of time because these environments might warp or otherwise damage the disc.
• Playback of discs is generally not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing sur­face. Even so, discs should be kept clean. Wipe discs using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe discs in a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.
• Do not clean the disc’s surface using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
