When finding it difficult to fit this unit onto the shelf, remove the side panels after removing the screws tightened on the side panels. Put this sticker to cover the screw holes after tearing off the back side of the sticker.

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”.

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.

■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.

Connecting Speakers

This section explains how to connect speakers to this unit. After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to change the signal output settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration. Before connecting any speaker cords, identify which terminals are for the right and left channels and also the + and – polarities. If you connect speakers with the wrong polarity (+ to –), this unit will not reproduce clear sound.

IntroductionPreparationsBasic Operation

Banana Plug

(Except for Singapore model)

■Using speaker cords

A speaker cord 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. To make sure you always connect speakers with the correct polarity, determine the difference between the cables of your speaker cord, make a note of which cable you plan to use for which polarity (+ and –), and always connect the speaker cords consistently.

Strip off 9 mm (3/8 in.) of an inch of insulation from the ends of the cables.

Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.

Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclockwise.

Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the slot in the side of the

terminal, and tighten the terminal knob.

Note:

• If your speaker cords have banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob and insert the plug into the end of the terminal. (Except for Singapore model)

Caution:

• Connect the speaker cords with care to avoid creating a short circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automatically shuts off the power.

■About the q RF (AC-3) signal input jack <For China, Singapore, and General models only.>

If your LD player has an q RF (AC-3) signal output jack, connect it to the q RF (AC-3) input jack on this unit. For this connection, change SET MENU item 7D. COAXIAL IN (10) to “LD-RF”. If q RF (AC-3) and analog signals are input at the same time, priority is given to the RF signals. When you want to reproduce q RF (AC-3) signals, set the input mode to “D.D. RF” using INPUT MODE.

■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.

Notes:

• If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack is selected.

• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and reproduces 5.1 channel source.

• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is performed while playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, and then disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal was selected again.

■Notes on playing a source encoded with a DTS signal

• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you make a digital connection between this unit and the player.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.

• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to AUTO, there will be a moment of noise while the unit recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction. You can avoid this by setting the input mode to DTS beforehand.

• If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode setting left to AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the “DTS-decoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation. (The “t” indicator lights up on the front panel display.) The “t” indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with a DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

• The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a source encoded with a DTS signal. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from the “DTSdecoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.

■Notes on playing an LD or DTS CD source

• For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode to AUTO or ANALOG.

• If the LD player is transmitting a signal by a non-standard method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

• Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input mode as necessary.

• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with a Dolby Digital signal, if you switch from the pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital signal is played.

• When you select an input source, the main unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with that source.

• When you turn off the main unit, the current source and sound field program are memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again.

• When high rate 96 kHz sampling digital signals are output from source equipment, the DSP sound field cannot operate on the source sounds. In this case, the sounds are reproduced as normal 2-channel stereo.

• Operating BASS and TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, BALANCE, VOLUME, and DSP programs do not affect the recorded signal.

■Special considerations when recording DTS

software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations need to be made.

For DTS encoded LDs, DVDs, and CDs:

Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be recorded as follows:

• LDs:

Set your Laser Disc player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.

• DVDs:

Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

• CDs:

The DTS signal recorded on CDs can only be output as a digital bitstream, and therefore cannot be recorded.

The test tone is produced by the tone generator. The tone generator produces a narrow band of noise centered at a specified frequency by the band pass filter. You can change the center frequency from 35 Hz through 250 Hz in one-sixth octave steps. You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the subwoofer level, but also for checking the low frequency characteristics of your listening room. Low frequency sounds are especially affected by the listener’s position, speaker placement, subwoofer polarity, and other conditions.

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the Center and the Rear Center channel sounds. This feature works when this unit decodes DTS or Dolby Digital signals. Ideally, the Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker should be the same distance from the main listening position as the left and right Main speakers. However, in most home situations, the Center speaker or the Rear Center speaker is placed in line with the Main speakers or the Rear speakers. By delaying the sound from the Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker, the apparent distance from the Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker to the main listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance between the left and right Main speaker, and the left and right Rear speakers to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time for the Center speaker is especially important for giving depth to the dialogue.

You can adjust the delay time from 0 ms to 5 ms for the Center speaker and from 0 ms to 30 ms for the Rear Center speaker.

• Increasing the delay 1 ms simulates moving the speakers about 30 cm (one foot) farther away from the listening position.

■Special considerations when using DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to Zone 2, you will only be able to hear the digital noise sound that could damage your loudspeakers. Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.

For DTS encoded LDs or DVDs

Only 2-channel audio signals may be sent to Zone 2, as follows:

• LDs – Set your Laser Disc player’s left and right outputs to the analog sound track.

• DVDs – Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to PCM or Dolby Digital.

For DTS encoded compact discs

DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with DTS encoded compact discs.

Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)

Understanding Sound Fields

English

A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a particular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.

Yamaha sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit.

■Recreating a sound field

Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. Yamaha’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.

The DSP sound field programs can be classified in two types based on the sound field processing method: programs that use early reflections only and programs that use both early reflections and reverberation.

■E/R (Early Reflection)

Each sound field is distinguished by the structure of the reflected sound. The increased processing capability of DSP technology enables Yamaha engineers to incorporate even minute reflections with long delay times into the sound field data.

■4ch REV. (Four Channel Reverberation)

This type of program consists of early reflections and high quality digital reverberation processing. Reverberation is the most important element for recreating the sound field of a church, for example. To recreate a realistic spatial sound image from reverberation data, Yamaha has adapted the four-channel-output reverberation technology.

■Illustration of the virtual sound sources and echo patterns

The virtual sound sources and echo patterns for the DSP sound field programs are shown below. The illustration of the virtual sound sources shows early reflection sound only and the illustration of the echo patterns shows both reflected sound and reverberation.

CINEMA-DSP

Sound Design of CINEMA-DSP

Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen. CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, Yamaha’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the right and left Main and Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen. When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound field program for that signal.

Tuner

Problem

FM stereo reception is noisy.

There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM

FMAM

antenna. A desired station cannot be

tuned in with the automatic tuning method.

Possible Cause

Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor.

There is multipath interference.

The station is too weak.

Troubleshooting

What to Do

Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set TUNING MODE to the manual tuning mode.

Adjust the antenna orientation to eliminate multipath interference.

Use the manual tuning method. Use a high quality directional FM antenna.

English

Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in using preset tuning.

A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method.

There are continuous crackling and hissing noises.

There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening).

This unit has been unplugged for a long period.

Weak signal or loose antenna connections.

Noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical component.

A television set is being used nearby.

Repeat the presetting procedure.

Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and adjust the antenna’s orientation for best reception.

Use the manual tuning method. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire.

This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all the noises.

Relocate this unit away from the TV.

Continuous functions such as volume are learned, but operate only for a moment before stopping.

Possible Cause

The batteries are dead.

The internal microcomputer has “frozen”. Wrong distance or angle.

Direct sunlight or lighting (such as an inverter type of fluorescent lamp) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit.

The internal microcomputer has “frozen”. The batteries of this remote control and/or the

other remote control are too weak. The distance between the two remote controls is

too far or near. The signal coding or modulation of the other

remote control is not compatible with this remote control.

Memory capacity is full.

The internal microcomputer has “frozen”. The learning process is incomplete.

What to Do

Replace the batteries with new ones and press RESET inside the battery compartment.

Press RESET inside the battery compartment. The remote control will function within a maximum

range of 6 m (20 feet), no more than 30 degrees offaxis from the front panel.
