Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Insert the batteries in the correct direction by aligning the + and – marks on the batteries with the polarity illustrations (+ and –) inside the
battery compartment.
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.
■About changing batteries
As the batteries wear out, the operating range of the remote control decreases and
the TRANSMIT indicator does not flash or its light becomes dim. When you
Reset button
notice any of these conditions, change all of the batteries.
Notes:
• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 20 minutes, or if worn out
batteries remain in the unit, the contents of the memory may be cleared.
If the memory is cleared, insert new batteries and reprogram any functions that may have
been cleared.
• After you insert new batteries, be sure to push RESET in the battery compartment using
a ball point pen or similar object before using the remote control. (This does not clear the
contents of the memory.)
Using the Remote Control
The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the main
unit to operate. When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the remote control and the main unit, the sensor cannot receive
signals. The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a
fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of the light or reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.
■About handling the remote control
Handle the remote control with care.
Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.
Do not drop the remote control.
Do not leave or store the remote control in the following types of conditions:
• high humidity or temperature such as near a heater, stove or bath; or
• dusty places; or
• in places subject to extremely low temperatures.

■Eight or Seven Speaker Configuration
–Full Cinema DSP–
When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the
powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack audio. The dialogue is
positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is
positioned slightly behind the screen, and the soundtrack music is positioned even
further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation.
This configuration makes the most of this unit’s capability.
The Rear Center speaker is useful for playback of 6-channel Digital Surround.
■Six Speaker Configuration –Hi Fi DSP–
This configuration is used the most for audio playback with HiFi DSP. It does not
position the dialogue sound as well as a seven or eight speaker configuration.
However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field
which adds depth to the sound.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to
“NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE”.
■Five Speaker Configuration –Standard 5.1 Channel–
This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the
seven or eight speaker configuration. However, it positions the dialogue sound as
coming directly from the screen.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to
“NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE”.
■Four Speaker Configuration
–Minimum Requirement–
In this configuration, the Center speaker signals and Front Effect speaker signals
are directed to the left and right Main speakers.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to
“NONE,” item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to “NONE,” and item 1D. REAR CT SP to
“NONE”.

Hookups
Connecting Audio Components
Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including this unit and
determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output.
IntroductionPreparationsBasic Operation
When you connect other YAMAHA audio component (such as a CD player or changer, MD deck, or tape deck), connect to terminals with
the same number labels. Yamaha applies this labelling system to all its products.
In the hookup illustrations on the following pages:
■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, DTS, and Dolby Digital bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks (for CD and
CABLE) priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96 kHz/24 bit digital
signals.
■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.
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
Operation
Advanced
Additional
Information
These 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.
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
• The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a CD player
which has coaxial or optical digital outputs.
• 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 or DAT deck
• When you connect a recorder to this unit, keep the deck’s power on while using
this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other
component.
• When you record from source component connected to this unit while this unit’s
power is off, the recorded sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn
on this unit.
• When you connect a CD recorder to both the analog and digital input and output
jacks, priority is given to the digital signals.

Connecting Video Components
Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including this unit and
determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output. After you finish all hookups, check them again to make
sure they are correct.
■About the video jacks
IntroductionPreparationsBasic Operation
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
signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal. The labels 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
Composite VIDEO jack
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.
S VIDEO jack
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
Notes:
• 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, Svideo, and component jacks respectively.
• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jacks, 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 connected.

■Placing the Main speakers
Place the left and right Main speakers an equal distance from the main listening
position.
If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker
from each side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.
■Placing the Center speaker
If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the
Center speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the
monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the
speaker under the monitor, the Front Effect speakers can adjust the height of the
sound to correspond with the action on the screen (depending on the listener’s
position). If you have a projection screen in your system, place the Center speaker
under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker with the center of the screen.
■Placing the Front Effect, Rear, and Rear Center
speakers
The Front Effect speakers should be placed about 0.5~1m (1~3 feet) outside the
Main speakers and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main
listening position. Place the Rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the
main listening position. The Rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the
Front Effect speakers. The Front Effect and Rear speakers should be placed about
1.8m (6 feet) above the floor.
Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement
until you obtain a balanced sound from the Main speakers and the Front Effect and
Rear speakers.

■When you use a projection screen
Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.
The Main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the
bottom of the screen.
Place the Center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The Center
speaker provides precise dialogue localization.
When you use a projection screen with your system, the Front Effect speakers
provide better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs raise the
sound from the Center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding
with the video images.
■Placing the Subwoofers
Place the Front Subwoofer near the Main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the
center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
If you use a Rear Subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The
placement of the Rear Subwoofer is not critical because of the ultralow frequencies
of the sound being reproduced.
By adding a high quality Subwoofer to the speaker system configurations shown
on page 9, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic movie effects, even if your
Main speakers are large.
Notes:
• If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your
configuration, 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.
You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the
SET MENU.
• If you are using small speakers, the addition of a Subwoofer will reinforce the sound
effects of movies.
