Introduction

Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. The RX-V1 is the most complete and advanced AV receiver available. Though some of the more advanced features of this unit may not be familiar to you, they are easy to use. Incorporated state-of-the-art technology such as Dolby Digital and DTS can bring the same audio experience to your home as they have brought to feature films in quality theaters around the world. To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, the RX-V1 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, an European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences the RX-V1 brings to your home theater.

Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Surround EX

The RX-V1 is equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder which reproduces industry standard Dolby Digital surround sound for a cinematic audio experience in your home. Dolby Digital is a 5.1 channel format because it uses five discrete channels (left and right Main channels, Center channel, and left and right Rear channels) and a special low frequency channel (that is used only enough to merit the “0.1” channel rating) to create incredibly realistic 360˚ surround effects. Recently, Dolby Digital Surround EX was introduced in movie theaters as an advanced surround technology. The addition of a Rear Center channel makes front-to-back transitions more realistic. You can enjoy the newest Dolby Digital Surround EX software with the CINEMA DSP programs in the RX-V1 such as Dolby Digital/ Matrix 6.1.

DTS and DTS ES

The RX-V1 is also equipped with a DTS decoder, which uses a 5.1 channel system to create a full surround sound environment. It was developed as a way to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six channels of digital sound. In comparison with Dolby Digital, DTS uses less compression to store the sound information. The newly presented DTS ES system reproduces digital sound similar to Dolby Digital Surround EX. The use of the Rear Center speaker along with the existing 5.1 channel speakers provides a fully immersive cinematic audio experience.

English

Comparing Surround Technologies

To enjoy dynamic feature film sound at home, you should have the appropriate sound reproduction system for your home theater. The traditional standard for home surround systems was called Dolby Surround and consisted of four channels (left and right Main channels, a Center channel, and a Surround channel for effects). The new home theater standard is Dolby Digital and consists of 5.1 channels (left and right Main channels, a Center channel, left and right Rear channels, and an LFE (low frequency effect) channel). The newer DTS surround technology also makes use of a 5.1 channel system. The 6.1 channel system which adds a Rear Center channel to the 5.1 channel configuration is the latest advancement in surround sound technology, and is employed by Dolby Digital Surround EX and DTS ES.

Introduction

Digital Sound Fields (DSP)

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision, and power. However, something has been missing: the atmosphere and acoustic ambience of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields have been created using data measured at the original venue; others have been created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Some have been designed especially for music, and others especially for movies. Of course, this only solves half of the problem. Because these engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your entertainment room, we have made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following surround sound technologies.

CINEMA-DSP: Dolby Digital + DSP and DTS + DSP

The Dolby Digital system and DTS system show their full capability in large movie theaters, because feature film soundtracks are designed to be reproduced in such environments. It is difficult to recreate a sound environment similar to a movie theater in your entertainment room because of the room size, wall materials, and the number of speakers in your entertainment system. Yamaha DSP technology makes it possible for you to enjoy nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your entertainment room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your entertainment room with Yamaha’s original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks.

Virtual CINEMA DSP and HP CINEMA DSP

Yamaha developed the Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm which allows you to experience the virtual sound fields without surround speakers. This makes it possible for the RX-V1 to produce a full surround sound catering to the number of speakers you have. The RX-V1 also has an HP (Headphones) CINEMA DSP algorithm which is achieved by the crosstalk processing applying the precise Head Related Transfer Function. You can therefore enjoy listening to the CINEMA DSP soundfields on headphones.

Multi-function remote control

The remote control can operate other audio-video components once you program the remote control using the manufacturer code and Learn feature.

Various Input and Output Jacks

The RX-V1 has various output jacks for audio and video signals as well as a digital recording output jack. Many input jacks are also available for connection to multiple audio-video sources. All the video inputs and outputs have S-video jacks in addition to standard composite video jacks for improved video picture quality. Component video input and output jacks are also available to deliver the excellent video signals from DVD players and other high quality video sources. The coaxial and optical digital signal jacks (provided for direct transmission of digital signals) automatically detect Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM signals. A demodulator circuit is built into the Dolby Digital RF input so you can connect it directly to the Dolby Digital RF signal output on your LD player. Additionally, there are six audio inputs for disscrete multichannel reproduction from an external decoder. The RX-V1 also comes with a monaural subwoofer jack and split subwoofer jacks which can reproduce delicate but powerful low frequency effects.

English

■ About Changing Batteries

As the batteries wear out, the operating range of the remote control decreases and the TRANSMIT indicator does not flash or its light becomes dim. When you notice any of these conditions, change all of the batteries.

Reset button

Notes:

• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 20 minutes, or if worn out batteries remain in the unit, the contents of the memory may be cleared. If the memory is cleared, insert new batteries and reprogram any functions that may have been cleared.

• After you insert new batteries, be sure to push RESET in the battery compartment using a ball point pen or similar object before using the remote control. (This does not clear the contents of the memory.)

Using the Remote Control

The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the main unit during operation. When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the remote control and the main unit, the sensor cannot receive signals. The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of the light or reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

Speaker System Configurations

The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right Main speakers, a Center speaker, the left and right Rear speakers, the left and right Front Effect speakers, and a Rear Center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A Subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to produce a fuller sound.

( )

■ Eight or Seven Speaker Configuration –Full Cinema

DSP–

When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fullly expresses the powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack audio. The dialogue is positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is positioned slightlly behind the screen, and the soundtrack music is positioned even further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation. This configuration makes the most of this unit’s capability.

The Rear Center speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS ES.

■ Six Speaker Configuration –Hi Fi DSP–

This configuration is used the most for audio playback with HiFi DSP. It does not position the dialogue sound as well as a seven or eight speaker configuration. However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field which adds depth to the sound.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to “NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE” (see page 41).

■ Five Speaker Configuration –Standard 5.1 Channel–

This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the seven or eight speaker configuration. However, it positions the dialogue sound as coming directly from the screen.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to “NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE” (see page 41).

■ Four Speaker Configuration –Minimum

Requirement–

In this configuration, the Center speaker signals and Front Effect speaker signals are directed to the left and right Main speakers.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to “NONE,” item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to “NONE,” and item 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE” (see page 41).

Speaker Placement

Where you place your speakers has a tremendous effect on how well your system sounds.

Main

TV or Video

Main

speaker

Place the left and right Main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position.

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.

Preparations

approx.

(3ft) (1~3ft) (5~15ft) (1~3ft) (3ft)

approx.

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the Center speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the monitor, the Front Effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen in your system, place the Center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker with the center of the screen.

■ Placing the Front Effect, Rear and Rear Center

Speakers

These speakers should be placed about 0.5~1m (1~3 feet) outside the Main speakers and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position. Place the Rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position. The Rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the Front Effect speakers. The Front Effect and Rear speakers should be placed about

1.8m (6 feet) above the floor. Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement

until you obtain a balanced sound from the Main speakers and the Front Effect and Rear speakers.

■ When You Use a Projection Screen

Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.

1/4

The Main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen.

Place the Center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The Center speaker provides precise dialogue localization.

When you use a projection screen with your system, the Front Effect speakers provide better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs (see page

34) raise the sound from the Center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding with the video images.

■ Placing the Subwoofers

Place the Front Subwoofer near the Main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections. If you use a Rear Subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The placement of the Rear Subwoofer is not critical because of

the ultralow frequencies of the sound being reproduced. By adding a high quality Subwoofer to the speaker configurations shown on pages 21 and 22, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic

movie effects, even if your Main speakers are large.

Note:

• If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your configuration, 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 manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.

You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the SET MENU (see page 41).

If you are using small speakers, the addition of a Subwoofer will reinforce the sound effects of movies (see page 21).

Hookups

Connecting to Digital Jacks

The RX-V1 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, DTS and Dolby Digital bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks (for CD, DVD, and CBL/SAT) priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96 kHz/24 bit digital signals.

■ 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.

About the Video Jacks

There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite video signals. Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals achieve high quality color reproduction. Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR) video signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal. The description of the component video jacks may be different depending on the component (e.g. Y, CB, CR / Y, PB, PR / Y, B-Y, R-Y/ etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction.

Composite VIDEO terminal

S VIDEO terminal

COMPONENT VIDEO terminals

PR/CRPB/CBY

Note:

• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite video, S-video, and component jacks are output through the corresponding composite video, S-video, and component jacks respectively.

Caution:

• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jacks, and commercially available video cables when connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

• When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the component being connected.

sound or images from an LD player, be sure to connect the player to either the

DIGITAL OPTICAL or analog AUDIO jacks.

Caution:

• Even if you connect an LD player with an RF (AC-3) output jack to this unit, you cannot reproduce Dolby Digital sound from all LD discs. You must playback an LD disc encoded with Dolby Digital signals in order to take advantage of the Dolby Digital sound.

Hookups

Connecting Audio Components

Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including the RX-V1 and determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output. When you connect other YAMAHA audio equipment (such as a CD player or changer, MD deck, or tape deck, connect to terminals with the same number labels. Yamaha applies this labelling system to all its products. In the hookup illustrations on the following pages:

Connecting Speakers

This section explains how to connect speakers to the RX-V1. After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to change the signal output settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration.

■ Using Speaker Cords

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. To make sure you always connect speakers with the correct polarity, determine the difference between the cables of your speaker cord, make a note of which cable you plan to use for which polarity (+ and –), and always connect the speaker cords consistently.

Strip off 9 mm (3/8 in.) of an inch of insulation from the ends of the

cables.

Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short

Preparations

BANANA PLUG

circuits.

Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclockwise.

Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the slot in the side of

the terminal, and tighten the terminal knob.

Note:

• If your speaker cords have banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob and insert the plug into the end of the terminal.

Caution:

• Connect the speaker cords with care to avoid creating a short circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automatically shuts off the power.
