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.

Connecting Video Components

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.

Using the Test Tone (TEST DOLBY SUR.)

Use the test tone to balance the output levels of the 6 speakers required for a surround sound system.

tone.
The test tone is heard from the left main speaker, center speaker, right main speaker, right rear speaker, rear center speaker (see page 17) and left rear speaker in order. The tone is produced for
2.5 seconds each time.

• If “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to NONE, the center channel sound is automatically output from the left and right main speakers.

3 Press k / n repeatedly to
select the speaker to be adjusted.
y
• You can stop the sequence temporarily by holding down k / n.
4 Press –/+ repeatedly to
adjust the output level of the effect speakers so that the output level coming from each speaker is the same.
While adjusting, the test tone is heard from the selected speaker.
5 When the adjustment is complete, press
TEST.
The test tone stops and the current DSP program appears on the front panel display and on the video monitor.
y
• The tonal quality of the center speaker can be adjusted by using “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.
