PRECAUTIONS:READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

■ To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

■ This system is designed for using the provided Active
Servo Processing Speaker System for front speakers.
Therefore, do not attempt to connect other

conventional speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS
terminals of this system.

■ Choose the installation location of this unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive
dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of
hum such as transformers and electric motors.

■ Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat,
possibly causing damage.

■ Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.

■ The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of
the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature
inside the cabinet will rise rapidly and eventually damage
the circuits. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these
openings and do not install the unit where the flow of air
through the ventilation openings could be impeded.

■ Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before
starting an audio source play: increase the volume
gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.

■ When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the
wall outlet.

■ Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken
so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not
defeated.

■ Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.
When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and
the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the
wire itself.

■ Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

■ Although the cassette deck’s record/playback heads used
in this unit are high quality heads with outstanding
reproduction characteristics, they can become dirty
through the use of old tapes or from dust accumulation
over time. This can have a serious effect on reproduction
quality. Clean the heads regularly with one of the
commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning
solutions.

■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that
which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not
be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of
this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

■ The sound level at a given volume setting depends on
speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken
to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which
may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control
setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.

■ Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in
an extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:

Pickup

•

Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour).

Tape head

•

Leave the power on with no tape in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour).

Note

If condensation forms on the tape head, foreign matter
may accumulate during use.

Remote control

•

Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this unit in the space
below.

■ Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before concluding that
the unit is faulty.

■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power
plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical
storm.

■ Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before
you finish all connections.

■ Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to
come near the cassette deck’s record/playback head
assembly in this unit. Doing so may not only scratch or
damage the head’s mirror-smooth finish, it may change the
magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a
deterioration in reproduction performance quality.

Serial No.:
The serial number is located on the rear of the unit.

Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future
reference.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

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
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.

more than indicated around the main unit and more than 10
cm (3-15/16”) behind the main unit to assure good
ventilation. Be sure not to place another unit or any object on
top of the main unit to prevent the ventilation holes on the top
panel of the main unit from being obstructed. Otherwise, it
may cause fire or damage to the main unit.

Notes

When placing the front speakers apart from the main unit,

•

allow a space of at least 10 cm (3-15/16”) above, behind
and on the both sides of the main unit.
If the main unit is put in a rack, the front of it must be fully

•

opened.

This system is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a
center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4-
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.).

Speaker configuration

(1)

(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 DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 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.)

English

(2)

Front L

Center

Front R

(2)4-Speaker Configuration

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

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

Note

Be sure to use two rear speakers. If you connect one rear
speaker only, sound will not be output from the rear speaker.

Speaker placement

Front speakers: In normal position.
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.

■ Mounting the rear speakers

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 conversely.

Wall/

wall support

Tapping screw
(Available at the
hardware store)

Good No good

●

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

To hang in a side long way

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

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.

■ Mounting the center speaker

Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under the
TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized.

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.

CONNECTIONS

Never plug the AC supply lead of this system into the AC outlet until all connections are
completed.

Connecting speakers

(See figure 8 on page 88.)

Connect the provided speakers to the SPEAKERS terminals
on the rear of the main unit.
Connect the front speakers (NX-GX70) to the FRONT
SPEAKERS terminals, the center speaker (NX-C70) to the
CENTER SPEAKERS terminals and the rear speakers (NX­E70) to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals.
Do not connect speakers other than the designated to the
respective SPEAKERS terminals.
* Use the provided speaker cords for the connections.

Normally, use the short cords to connect with the front
speakers, and use the long ones to connect with the rear
speakers.

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 the main
unit to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier,
and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer
amplifier to the subwoofer.
With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and
subwoofer are in the same unit.
* The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal is for output to a

monaural amplifier driving a subwoofer. Only frequencies
below 200 Hz from the front and center channels are
output.

How to Connect:

Connect the provided speaker cords to the SPEAKERS
terminals 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 main unit 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 the amplifier and/or speakers.

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance
between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in
test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the
sound output level heard at the listening position will be the
same from each speaker. This is important for the best
performance of the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.

The adjustment of each speaker output level should be
done at your listening position with the remote control
transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

English

For easier operation

Pressing the DISC selector button (1, 2 or 3) will select the
disc directly, and playback will begin from track 1
automatically.

Note

If a Video-CD, version 2.0 is selected, “PBC” lights up on the
display, and the total number of tracks, the total playing time
of the disc and the music calendar will not be displayed. In
this mode, disc playback is controlled by the rule of Playback
Control. (For details of Playback Control, refer to page
25–27.)
To cancel this mode and restore the normal playback mode,
press and hold the stop (RETURN) button for more than 2

or closing the disc table by pushing the front edge of the disc
table gently will start playback directly. In this case, if the
tape deck is playing back a tape, it will be stopped
automatically.
* These ways of playback can also be used to close the disc

Automatic preset tuning

21

You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning
function. By this function, this unit performs automatic tuning
and stores stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40
stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the
manual preset tuning method on the previous page.

1 Press the INPUT selector or button once or more

so that “TUNER” appears on the display.

2 Press and hold the tuner MEMORY button for about 2

seconds.
* The MEMORY and AUTO indicators will flash.

This unit performs automatic tuning and searches FM and
AM stations in that order. Received stations are programmed
to A1, A2 ... A8 sequentially.

When the automatic preset tuning is completed

The display shows the frequencies of the first preset station
(stored to A1).
Check the contents and the number of preset stations by
following the procedure of the section “To recall a preset
station” on the previous page.

1

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed
data from being lost even if the AC supply lead is
disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due
to temporary power failure. If, however, the power is cut
for more than one week, the memory may be erased. If
so, it can be re-programmed by simply following the
Preset tuning steps.

To recall a preset station

Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset
station” on the previous page.

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 to it in
monaural manually and program it by following the
procedure of the section “To store stations” on the
previous page.
You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM

•

station manually by simply following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on the previous page.

Dolby B Type Noise Reduction

Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of
reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit
incorporates Dolby B type noise reduction system that is the
most popular one and almost of commercially available
music tapes are recorded with the Dolby B NR.
Dolby B NR has a noise reduction effect of about 10 dB in
the high frequency range.
Dolby noise reduction is a 2 part process that acts both on
recording and playback; be sure that the same noise
reduction is used on recording and playback.

Notes

● Tapes encoded with Dolby NR system should be decoded
with the same Dolby NR system. Nevertheless, a Dolby
encoded tape can be played back without decoding (and
vice versa) with no harm to the recorded sound.

● Noise in the source material cannot be reduced with the
Dolby NR system.

Dolby noise reduction manufactured under license from
Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
“DOLBY” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of
Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Automatic deck selecting function

If you load only one tape into the deck 1 or deck 2 cassette
compartment, it is automatically selected and set ready for a
playback.

About the tape counter

This unit is equipped with a tape counter that is useful for
searching for and locating a desired point on tape. The tape
counter for the tape 1 (or 2) currently selected is shown on
the display.
Pressing the stop button when the unit is stopped will
reset the tape counter to “0000”.

The Sound Field Processor built into this system presents you with the ambience of an actual concert hall etc. by adding effects as
sonic reflections or reberverations that create the sound environment of a hall etc. This system provides preset sound field
programs shown below. You can enjoy an excellent audio sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.

This system incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded
video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field
program.

(KARAOKE R)

FEATURE

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the
dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater.

This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for
sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this
program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the
dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output
from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear
speakers.

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

This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many
reflections of high frequencies.

These are audio output modes useful for singing Karaoke. (Refer to page 51 for details.)
