SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound­field quality with a 6-speaker system, using left and right main speakers, left and right rear speakers, and a center and rear center speakers. 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 the models of equivalent performance with the main 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.

PREPARATION

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
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.
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.
Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Rear center speaker
Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers.
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
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

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 this 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 cable 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 approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals
1 Unscrew the knob. 2 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
3 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
y
(For U.S.A., Canada, Australia, China and General models)
• Banana plug connections are also possible. First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

Connecting Video Components

About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks.
VIDEO jacks transmit composite signals.
S VIDEO jacks transmit S-video signals. S-video signals are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color reproduction.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks transmit component signals. Component signals are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P
B /
CB, PR/CR) to provide the best quality in picture reproduction.
Refer to the owner’s manuals for your monitor and other components being connected to reproduce these signals correctly.
You can connect an S-video output and component video output of your video components to this unit. Connect an S-video output to the S VIDEO jack and component video output to the COMPONENT VIDEO jack on this unit.

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 jacks according to your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see pages 61 and 62 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.
Notes
• DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.
• 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 in-line boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to these jacks.
y
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However you may hear less noise without the connection to the GND terminal for some record players.
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
• DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT(REC) are independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT(REC) 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.
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.

• The AM loop antenna can be removed from the stand and attached to a wall, etc.
Notes
• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit.
• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about the outdoor antennas.

Connecting the Antennas

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength.
Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.
Connecting the indoor FM antenna
Connect the included indoor FM antenna to the 75 UNBAL. FM ANT terminal.
FREQUENCY STEP switch (For China and General models)
Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (locating on the rear panel) according to the frequency spacing in your area. North, Central and South America: 100 kHz/10 kHz Other area: 50 kHz/9 kHz Before setting this switch, disconnect the AC power plug of this unit from the AC outlet.
Ground (GND terminal)
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the antenna GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Connecting to the 6CH INPUT Jacks

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 6CH INPUT is selected, the signals input to the 6CH INPUT jacks have priority over any other input source.
• 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, settings of “1 SPEAKER SET (1A to 1E)” on the SET MENU do not apply.
• When headphones are used, only main L/R channels are output.
• Setting for “15 6CH INPUT SET” on the SET MENU will be applied when 6CH INPUT is selected.

Connecting to an External Amplifier

If you want to increase the power output to the speakers, or want to use another amplifier, connect an external amplifier to the OUTPUT jacks as follows.
Notes
• When RCA pin plugs are connected to the OUTPUT jacks for output to an external amplifier, it is not necessary to use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.
• No signals will be output from any other OUTPUT jacks than MAIN jacks when SPEAKER A is turned off with ZONE B selected for “1G SP B SET” on the SET MENU.
1 MAIN jacks
Main channel line output jacks.
Note
• The signals output through these jacks are affected by the BASS, TREBLE and BASS EXTENSION settings.
2 REAR (SURROUND) jacks
Rear channel line output jacks.
3 SUBWOOFER jack
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, connect the input jack of the subwoofer system to this jack. Low bass signals distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels are directed to this jack if they are assigned to this jack. (The cut-off frequency of this jack is 90 Hz.) The LFE (low-frequency effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also directed if they are assigned to this jack.
Notes
• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer. It is also possible to adjust the volume level by using the remote control of this unit (see ADJUSTING THE LEVEL OF THE EFFECT SPEAKERS on page 66).
• Depending on the settings of “1 SPEAKER SET” and “10 LFE LEVEL” on the SET MENU, some signals may not be output from the SUBWOOFER jack.
