PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

■ Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the

rear panel if the equipment requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.

■ Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before

you finish all connections.

■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified

on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than specified.

(Recording Your Singing Voice and Karaoke Effects with the Music Source)

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 Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “Speaker configuration” shown below.) 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.).

Rear R

Rear L

Speaker configuration

(1)5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

● Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)

(2)4-Speaker Configuration

(without the center speaker)

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the sound field program PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound will be output from the left and the right front speakers, although the program 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be almost the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

● Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)

Note

As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers. However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there are more than one listener in the listening room. When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position.

Speaker placement

Front speakers: In normal position. Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing

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

Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers.

Wall/ wall support

Only for customers who use the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system (separate purchase)

If you use the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system with this unit, read the following descriptions for mounting the NS-P30.

* “NS-P30” is the package number which includes the

YAMAHA speaker systems NX-E70 and NX-C70. NX-E70 is designed to be used as a rear effect speaker system, and NX-C70 is designed to be used as a center speaker system.

■ Mounting the rear speakers (NX-E70)

Mount the rear speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor directly, or hang them on the wall.

To mount the rear speakers on a wall

1 Attach the provided mounting bracket to the rear of the

speaker by using the provided screws.

2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in

the diagram, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket on the protruding screws.

* The holes are arranged so that the speakers can be

mounted in a side long, upright or upside-down way.

* Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow part

of the holes securely.

Notes

●

Never attach the bracket to the speaker backwards.

●

Speaker cords should be connected to the speaker’s terminals after the bracket is attached to the speaker to prevent the speaker cords pressed between the speaker and the bracket.

English

WARNING:

●

Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.). Do not mount them on thin plywood or soft wall surface material, as the screws may come out of the flimsy surface, causing the speakers to fall down and be damaged, or result in personal injury.

●

Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails, adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to fall down.

●

To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the wall.

To hang in a side long way

Hang the speakers so that each of them faces inside as figured left.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

■ Mounting the center speaker (NX-C70)

Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack in a stable position.

When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided pads at four points on bottom of the speaker.

Notes

●

Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to you.

●

Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding type, there may be some influence on a TV picture depending on the type of TV or the placement of the speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart from the TV so that there is no influence on TV picture.

Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

■ How to Connect:

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. 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.

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

Note on connecting one rear speaker only

You can use one rear speaker only in place of two rear speakers. For connecting one rear speaker, follow the method shown below.

Note on connecting a subwoofer (separate purchase)

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies. Connect the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal of this unit to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. With some subwoofer systems, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, an amplifier is incorporated into the system. * The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal outputs low frequencies

from the front and center channels. (The cut-off frequency of signals output from this terminal is 200 Hz.)
