PREPARATION

+
y
The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these 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 (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel 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. Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it.
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the listening position and at the same height as the surround speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 inches) apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width as the front speakers.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low­frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. 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 front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
Presence speakers (PR and PL)
Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP (see page 41). These effects include sounds that filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m (1-3 feet) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Di-pole speaker layout
Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please place the surround and surround back speakers according to the speaker layout below.

SPEAKER SETUP
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.
• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 23).
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
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.
3 Unscrew the knob.
y
Supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful to screw or unscrew knobs.
4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
Connecting to PRESENCE/ZONE 2 or PRESENCE speaker terminals
1 Open the tab.
2 Insert one bare wire into
the hole of each terminal.
3 Return the tab to secure
the wire.
Banana plug connections
(With the exception of U.K., Europe and Asia models) First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

Signal directions and cable indications
Analog jacks
You can input analog signals from audio components by connecting audio pin cable to the analog jacks on this unit. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.
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 compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus audio signals input to the analog jacks are only output to the analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input to the digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.
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.
Video jacks
This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your monitor. The signals input through the VIDEO jack on this unit can be output through the S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks (see page 56). The signals input through the S VIDEO jack can be output through the VIDEO jack when V CONV. is set to ON (see page 56).
VIDEO jack
For conventional composite video signals.
S VIDEO jack
For S-video signals, separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color reproduction.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
For component signals, separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB, PR) to provide the best quality in picture reproduction.
When signals are input through both the S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks, signals input through the S VIDEO jack has priority.

AUTO SETUP

24
This receiver employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening environment.
y
The basic setup feature (page 28) is useful if you want to set up your system quickly and with minimal effort. However, we recommend that you come back and perform auto setup later to take advantage of YPAO and enjoy even higher fidelity.
• Loud test tones are output during the auto setup procedure. Please be ready!
• If auto setup stops and error messages appear on the OSD, follow the troubleshooting on page 27.
YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system.
WIRING
Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of each speaker.
DISTANCE
Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the timing of each channel.
SIZE
Checks the speaker’s frequency response and sets the appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel.
EQUALIZING
Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique sonic characteristics. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.
LEVEL
Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each speaker.
1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone
to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front panel.
2 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat
level surface with the omni-directional microphone head upward, at your normal listening position.
• If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer mic at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.
