PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha RX-V470 stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital
Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full 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 wide range of listening environments –movie
theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in
Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Rather than tell you about the wonders of digital sound field processing, however, let’s get right down to the business of setting
up the system and trying out its many capabilities. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for
later reference.
ENGLISH
Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s
advanced sound reproduction technology lets you 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.
What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to
capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an
actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately
recreate one of several actual live performance
environments, all in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you
experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby
Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro
Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering
logic circuitry, which provides greater effective channel
separation for a much higher degree of realism than the
“passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in today’s typical
home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround
provides a true center channel, so that there are four
independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround
which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear.
This center channel allows listeners seated in even lessthan-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from
action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital
signal processing system. This system increases sound
stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between
channels compared to conventional analog Dolby signal
processing.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input
balance control. This circuit always presents you the best
surround conditions without performing manual
adjustments.
“ENHANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The RX-V470 has a second mode of Dolby Pro Logic
Surround processing called “Enhanced Dolby Pro Logic
Surround” processing. Enhanced Dolby Pro Logic
Surround processing recreates the surround effect of a
movie theater, effectively duplicating its multiple surround
loudspeaker system, completely surrounding the listener
with the sounds of the action taking place on the screen.

SPEAKER SETTING UP FOR THIS UNIT
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality
with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used
with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers,
and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker.
Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the output of the main
source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be
the speakers of your present stereo speaker system. The
rear speakers are used for the output of the effect sound.
And the center speaker is used for the output of the center
sound (dialog etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The
rear and center speakers do not need to be equal in power
to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should
have high enough power handling to accept the maximum
output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and is the one that is
recommended. In this configuration, the center speaker is
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the digital sound
field program is in DOLBY PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED
mode conversations will be output from the center speaker
and the ambience will be excellent.
÷ Set the center mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position.
(For details, refer to page 11.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommanded speaker configuration, the 5-speaker
configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers
(your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a
center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to
the following.
Center
Front R
TV set

Rear L
Front: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly
inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker. If, however, it is not effective,
keep the speaker away from TV sets.)
Rear L
Surround sound
Rear R
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or
ENHANCED mode, the center sound is output from the left
and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
÷ Be sure to set the center mode to the “PHANTOM”
position. (For details, refer to page 11.)

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with
wire of the proper gauge, cut to be as short as possible. If
the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires
is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these
wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack
bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other
and do not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this
could damage this unit and/or speakers.
÷ Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
Notes on front speakers connections
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either
the FRONT A or B terminals.
ABOUT THE AC OUTLETS
U.S.A., Canada, Europe and General models:
2 SWITCHED OUTLETS
Australia and U.K. models:
1 SWITCHED OUTLET
Use these to connect the power cords from your
components to this unit.
The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled with this
unit’s POWER switch or the provided remote-control
transmitter’s POWER key. These outlets will supply power
to any component whenever this unit is turned on.
The maximum power (total power consumption of
components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC
OUTLETS is 100 watts or 200 W (U.S.A. and General
models).

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
÷ Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.
÷ Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient
signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you
experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
Indoor FM antenna (included)
When connecting the indoor FM
antenna, make sure that the
grooved part of the connector
Outdoor FM antenna
If you need an outdoor
FM antenna to improve
FM reception quality,
either a 300-ohm feeder
or a coaxial cable may be
used. In locations
troubled by electrical
interference, a coaxial
cable is preferable.
