SPEAKER SETUP
Speakers to Be Used
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality
with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers
and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers
(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a
moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift
smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the
same manufacture to ensure even tonal quality.
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 highperformance models that can reproduce sounds over the full
range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
■ Use of a subwoofer expands your
sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. 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) channel with high fidelity when playing back a
source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHA
Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for
natural and lively bass reproduction.
Speaker Placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the
speakers.
Main speaker (R)
Center speaker
Main
speaker (L)
Subwoofer
Rear speaker (L)
Rear speaker (R)
1.8 m
■ Main speakers
Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the
same.
■ Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing
slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the
floor.
■ Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face
of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the
monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the
monitor and centrally between the main speakers.
Note
• If the center speaker is not used, the sound will be heard from the
right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the
SET MENU is set to the NON position.
■ Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low
bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to
place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly
toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
CAUTION
Please use magnetically shielded speakers.
Sometimes a video monitor may be adversely affected
even when magnetically shielded speakers are used.
Separate the speakers from the monitor if this happens.

components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each
component to be connected to this unit.
When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect
it to the jacks with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc.
Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.
The input and output jacks for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:
Yellow video signals (composite)
White analog audio signals for the left channel
Red analog audio signals for the right channel
coaxial digital signals
After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

• When you connect your recording component to both the analog
and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given to the
digital signal.
Notes
• When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its
power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may
distort the sound from other components.
• Since digital output and analog output (REC OUT) are
independent of each other, the analog signal is output only to the
analog jack, while the digital signal is output only to the digital
jack.
Connecting an External Decoder
This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and
right MAIN, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and
SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from an
external decoder, sound processor or pre-amplifier.
Connect the output jacks on your external decoder to the
6CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right
outputs to the left and right input jacks for the main and
surround channels.
Notes
• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, this unit
automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you
cannot listen to DSP programs.
• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, changing items
of “1 SPEAKER SET” in the SET MENU is not affected (except
“MAIN LVL”).
CONNECTIONS
Connecting Audio Components
■ Connecting to digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital
signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can
use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS
bitstreams. When you connect components to both the
COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the
input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input
jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
y
• You can designate the input for each digital jack according to
your component by using “3 I/O ASSIGN” in the SET MENU.
About the dust protection cap
Pull out the cap from the optical jack before
you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not
discard the cap. When you are not using the
optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in
place. This cap protects the jack from dust.
Note
• The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If
you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard,
this unit may not function properly.

ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE
Using the Test Tone
The adjustment of each speaker sound output level should
be performed at your listening position with the remote
control.
1 Press AMP(TUNER) on the
component selector.
2 Press TEST.
“TEST LEFT” appears on the display.
3 Turn up the volume.
You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from each
speaker for about two seconds in following order: left
main speaker, center speaker, right main speaker, right
rear speaker and left rear speaker. The display changes
as shown below.
Notes
• If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set the unit
in the standby mode and check the speaker connections.
• If the test tone cannot be heard from the center speaker, check the
setting of “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU.
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level
balance between the main, center and rear speakers by 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 digital sound field
processor, the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital
decoder and DTS decoder.
Note
• Since this unit cannot enter the test mode while headphones are
connected to this unit, be sure to unplug the headphones from the
PHONES jack when using the test tone.
Before You Start Adjusting
1 Set the volume at the
minimum level.
2 Turn the power on.
3 Press SPEAKERS A or B
to select the main
speakers to be used.
If you use two main speaker
systems, press both A and B.

speaker.
6 When the adjustment is complete, press TEST.
The test tone stops.
Notes
• If “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NON position,
the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted in
step 5. The center channel sound is automatically output from the
right and left main speakers.
• For details on adjusting the subwoofer speaker, refer to “DELAY
TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS” on page 40.
• After adjusting with the test tone, it is possible to adjust the
speaker level to taste while listening to the playback of an actual
source. Refer to “DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT
LEVELS” on page 40.
y
• Once you have completed the adjustments, you can only adjust
the overall volume level of your audio system by using VOLUME
(or VOLUME (u/d)).
• If there is insufficient sound output from the center and rear
speakers, you may decrease the main speaker output level by
setting “MAIN LVL” in the SET MENU to “–10 dB”.
