PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver – an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field
Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to
bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system,
and this unit will sonically transform your room into a totally new listening environment. In addition, you get incredible realism from
Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
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 chances are 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 in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of
a live concert.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you
experience the dramatic realism and impact of a Dolby
Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro
Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering logic
circuitry, which provides greater effective front and rear
channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than
the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in less
sophisticated home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic
Surround provides a true center channel, so there are four
independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround which
has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This
center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal
positions to hear the dialog originating from action on the
screen while getting a stereo effect as well.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture
the acoustics of actual music venues to allow you to accurately
recreate live performance environments in your own home.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This circuit always presents you the best surround
conditions without performing manual adjustments.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
You can also enjoy a combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround
and DSP in the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED”.
It recreates the surround effect of a movie theater, effectively
duplicating its multiple surround loudspeaker system,
completely surrounding the listener with the sounds of the
action taking place on the screen.

SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with
this unit are front speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker
Configuration” shown below.)
The front 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 etc.) within the Dolby Surround encoded programs. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the front
speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to
accept the maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
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 a Dolby Surround program is selected,
conversations will be output from the center speaker and the
ambience will be excellent.
●
Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE”
position. (For details, refer to page 12.)
R-V501 only
*
As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, 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.
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If a Dolby
Surround program is selected, the center sound is output from
the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect
of other programs can be 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 12.)
●
R-V501 only
The program DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this
configuration.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers (your normal
stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
6
Front: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.
Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded
speaker.)
