PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field
Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to
bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system,
and this unit will sonically transform your room into a totally new listening environment. In addition, you will get incredible realism
from sources encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced
sound reproduction technology enables you to get extremely
close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll
still notice something missing: the acoustic environment of the
live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of
the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall
has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this
same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the
sound of a live concert.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar
to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie
theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you
can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby
Stereo theater sound in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic employs a four-channel-five-speaker system.
The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into
four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel
(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channel (used
for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient
noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even
less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the
action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging.
Dolby Surround is encoded on many sound tracks of prerecorded video tapes, laserdiscs, and some TV/cable
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby
Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
decodes the signal and supplies the surround-sound effects to
you.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture
the acoustics of actual music venues to allow you to accurately
recreate live performance environments in your own home.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you of the best performance
without manual adjustment.

SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with
this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You can use only one rear speaker instead of using two rear
speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” shown below.)
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 etc.) within the programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main
speakers although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to
accept the maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
English
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.
In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as
the rear speakers. If the program PRO LOGIC or 3
STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the
center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.
• Set the center channel mode to the “NORM” or “WIDE”
position. (For details, refer to page 16.)
Main L Center Center
Rear L
(Two rear speakers)
Note
As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in monaual.
So, you may use only one rear speaker instead of using two rear speakers.
However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there is more than one listener in the listening room.
When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position.

4-Speaker Configuration (without the center speaker)
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
program PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound will be
output from the left and the right main speakers. The program
3 STEREO has no effect in this configuration. However,
the sound effect of other programs can be almost the same as
that of the 5-speaker configuration.
• Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM”
position. (For details, refer to page 16.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: main speakers (your normal
stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
Main R
Main L
Main: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.
Nearly 1.8m (approx. 6 feet) up from the floor.
