FEATURES OF SOUND EFFECTS

Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV receivers available. Some of the more advanced features may not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in theaters around the world.
To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
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 the chances are that 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 to your listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately re-create any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Surround has been used in movie theaters since the mid­seventies. It has also been available in home entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.
Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.
Dolby Digital
The built-in Dolby Digital decoder leads you into a totally new sound experience.
Dolby Digital is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm-film movies by employing a new kind of low bit-rate audio coding.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to listeners. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. This channel is counted as
0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.
Compared to Dolby Pro Logic, which is referred to a “3/1” system (left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full-range fidelity as the three front channels.
Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the 5 full-range channels provides listeners with excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by discrete digital sound processing expands the realism that the original movie possesses.
LD and DVD are home audio/video program source that could benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.
Introduction

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
The following original functions make the surround-sound effect of Dolby Digital become the most suitable for your audio system and the listening conditions.
CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP
The 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 are very 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 the lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with the Dolby Surround sound system.
CINEMA DSP
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA DSP technology.
Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-decoded sound field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize the surround effect in the room, letting you feel as much presence as if you are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.
This combination is available when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEA TER or TV SPOR TS sound
field program is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with Dolby Digital sound in 2-channel.
Dolby Digital + 3 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital­decoded sound field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and strong surround effect in the room without losing high-channel separation. With the wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEA TER or TV SPORTS sound
field program is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with Dolby Digital sound (except in 2-channel).

SPEAKER SETUP

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.
The main speakers should be high-performance models and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-performance models that can reproduce sounds over the full-range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. When playing back a source using the DSP program,
DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MO VIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains
center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program that is Dolby Digital-decoded, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent. Note: Set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the
LARGE” or “SMALL” position. (See page 21 for details.)
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source that is Dolby Digital-decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. When playing back a source using the DSP program, DOLBY PRO
LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/ DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/ DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or
when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program that is Dolby Digital-decoded, the center sound is output from the left and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs will be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration. Note: Be sure to set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to
the “NONE” position. (See page 21 for details.)

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (COAXIAL AND/OR OPTICAL) TERMINALS
If your DVD (LD) player, TV/DBS tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals.
To make a connection between optical digital audio signal terminals, remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the COAXIAL (or OPTICAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit. You can easily switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and “analog”. (See page 28 for details.)
Notes
• When connecting an audio/video unit to both the digital and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect between terminals of the same name.
• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not being used in order to protect them from dust.
• The input signal from the DVD/LD input terminals is selected in the following order of priority with the input mode set to the AUTO position: 1 COAXIAL terminal 2 OPTICAL terminal 3 Analog terminal
• All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
• If your LD player has Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal, use the RF demodulator (separate purchase).

A rear speaker system can be connected to this unit. Place them to the rear of your listening position.
Center speaker connection
A center speaker can be connected to this unit. Place it on or under the TV.
Subwoofer connection
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel. If you have a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the input terminal of the subwoofer system. If you have a separate amplifier and subwoofer, connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the input terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and then connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. When the input signals to this unit are for normal 2-channel stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 90 Hz from the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel. Note: The output level of signals from this terminal is adjusted
by VOLUME on the front panel or VOLUME (
) on
the remote control transmitter.

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 and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage the unit and/or speakers.
Connecting to the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals
Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–)
1 Unscrew the knob. 2 Remove approx. 5 mm
(1/4”) of insulation from each of the speaker wires and insert the bare wire into the terminal.
3 Tighten the knob to
secure the wire.
1 Press the tab. 2 Remove approx. 5 mm
(1/4”) of insulation from each of the speaker wires and insert the bare wire into the terminal.

Connecting the AM loop antenna
* The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna always should be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be correctly connected to the designated terminals, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
GND TERMINAL
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
• When connecting the indoor FM antenna, firmly insert its connector into the FM ANT terminal.
• If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.
Orient so that the best reception is obtained.

ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT

SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES
This unit provides you the following five functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for your audio system. When speaker connections have all been completed, select the proper setting for each function to make the best use of your speaker system. (See “ADJUSTMENTS IN THE ‘SET MENU’ MODE” on page 47.)
1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) 2. REAR (REAR SPEAKERS) 3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)
4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT) 5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION
CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL/NONE Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position when your center speaker is
approximately the same size as the main speakers.
SMALL: Select this position when you use a center speaker
that is smaller than the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are output from the main speakers (or the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SMALL position is selected for “MAIN” and the SW position is selected for “BASS”).
NONE: Select this position when you do not have a center
speaker. The center channel sound will be output from the left and right main speakers.
REAR (REAR SPEAKERS)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position if your rear speakers have high
ability for bass reproduction, or a subwoofer is connected to the rear speaker in parallel. In this position, full-range signals are output from the rear speakers.
SMALL: Select this position if your rear speakers do not have
high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or the main speakers if the MAIN position is selected for “BASS”).
MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position if your main speakers have high
ability for bass reproduction. In this position, full-range signals present on the main channels are output from the main speakers.
SMALL: Select this position if your main speakers do not
have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SW or BOTH position is selected for “BASS”.
BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH Preset position: SW
MAIN: Select this position if your system does not include a
subwoofer. In this position, full-range signals present on the main channels, signals from the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are selected for “CNTR” to “MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are output from the main speakers.
SW/BOTH:
Select either the SW or BOTH position if your system includes a subwoofer. In either position, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are selected for “CNTR” to “MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. When the LARGE position is selected for “MAIN”, in the SW position, no signal is distributed from the main channels to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal; however, in the BOTH position, low bass signals from the main channels are output to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.
M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
Choices: NRML (NORMAL)/–10 dB Preset position: NRML (NORMAL)
NRML (NORMAL):
Normally select this position.
–10 dB: Select this position if the sound output from the main
speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.
