OPERATION

GETTING STARTED

Checking the Package Contents

Check your package to make sure it has the following items.

Remote control

Manganese batteries (3)
(AA, R6, UM-3)

Indoor FM antenna

AM loop antenna

Quick Reference Card

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Insert the batteries in the correct direction by aligning the
+ and – marks on the batteries with the polarity markings
(+ and –) inside the battery compartment.

RESET button

■ Notes on batteries

• Change the batteries periodically.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline
and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging
carefully as these different types of batteries may have
the same shape and color.

■ Changing batteries

As the batteries lose power, 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.

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

If the remote control is without batteries for more than
3 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the
remote control, the contents of the memory may be
cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert new
batteries, set up the manufacturer code and program
any acquired functions that may have been cleared.

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound­field quality with a 5-speaker system, using left and right
main speakers, left and right rear speakers and a center
speaker. The 6-speaker system, which adds a rear center
speaker to the 5 speaker configuration, is the latest
advancement in surround sound technology. (See page 17
for using the rear 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 manufacturer or speakers
with the same 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
high-performance 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
the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back.
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 (L)

Center speaker

Main speaker (R)

Subwoofer

Rear speaker (R)

Rear center
speaker

See page 17.

Rear speaker (L)

■ Main speakers

Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the video 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 video 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 center channel sound will
be heard from the left and right main speakers. In this case,
“1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to NONE (see
page 41 for details).

■ 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

Some types of speakers interfere with a video monitor.
If this problem occurs, move the speakers away from
the monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center
speaker or subwoofer near the video monitor, use a
magnetically shielded speaker.

CONNECTIONS

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been
completed.

• Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some
components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation 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 them to the jack with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling
system to all its products.

• After you have completed all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

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 (see page 25 for details).

y

• You can designate the input for each digital jack according to

your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET
MENU (see page 44 for details).

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.

■ Connecting a turntable

PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM
or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with
a low-output MC cartridge, use an inline boosting
transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to
these jacks.

y

• The GND terminal does not electrically ground the turntable. It

simply reduces noise in the signal. In some cases, you may
hear less noise if you do not connect to the GND terminal.

■ Connecting a CD player

y

• The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a
CD player which has coaxial or optical digital output jacks.

• When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and
OPTICAL CD jacks, priority is given to the input signals from
the COAXIAL CD jack.

■ Connecting an MD recorder, tape

deck or CD recorder

y

• Only digital signals input from a source such as a CD or DVD
are output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

• When you connect your recording component to both the
analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given
to the digital signal.

• You can connect an MD recorder to any digital input jack by
using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see
page 44).

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.

• When you record from a source component connected to this
unit while this unit is set in the standby mode, the recorded
sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn on this
unit.

CONNECTIONS

y

• 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.

• If you make S-video connections to this unit, it is not necessary
to make composite video connections. If both types of
connections are made, this unit gives priority to the S-video
signal.

• You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A
and B jacks according to your component by using “7 I/O
ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page 44 for details).

Notes

• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jack, 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

■ 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 (P

B/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, C

B

, CR/Y, PB, PR/Y, B-Y, R-Y etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction.

If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can connect it to this unit. Connect the
S-video signal output jack on your video component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jacks
on your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting the Speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.

• 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.

If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers
in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.

■ Speaker cables

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.

1 Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation

from each of the speaker cables.

ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

This section explains how to adjust the speaker output
levels by using the test tone generator. When this
adjustment is made, the 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.

“5 CENTER GEQ” on the SET MENU (see page 44).

• You can increase the output levels of the effect speakers
(center, left rear, right rear and rear center) to +10dB. If the
output level of these speakers is lower than that of the main
speakers even after you have increased the output level of these
speakers up to +10 dB, set “1F MAIN LEVEL” on the SET
MENU to –10 dB (see page 43). This setting decreases the
main speaker output level to about one-third of the normal
level. After you have set “1F MAIN LEVEL” on the SET
MENU to –10 dB, adjust the levels for the center, rear and rear
center speakers again.
