FEATURES OF SOUND EFFECTS
Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment.
This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV
receivers available. Some of the more advanced features may
not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art
technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems
(DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably
experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in
theaters around the world.
To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit
includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening
environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound
field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an
outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take
some time now to read more about these features and enjoy
the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
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 the chances are that 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 to your listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound
of a live concert.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture
the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, theaters, etc.
from around the world, to allow you to accurately re-create any
one of these live performance environments, all in your own
home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Pro Logic Surround has been used in movie theaters
since the mid-seventies. It has also been available in home
entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to
be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four
discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and
dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a
center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound
effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow
frequency range.
Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Pro Logic
Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The
Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder built into this unit employs a
digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for
even more accurate sound positioning than is available with
standard analog processors.
Dolby Digital
The built-in Dolby Digital decoder leads you into a totally new
sound experience.
Dolby Digital is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio
technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format
developed for 35 mm-film movies by employing a new kind of
low bit-rate audio coding.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides
completely independent multi-channel audio to listeners. In
multi-channel form, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range channels
in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three
front channels (left, center and right), plus two surround
channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for
output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that
are independent of other channels. This channel is counted as
0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.
Compared to Dolby Pro Logic, which is referred to a “3/1”
system (left front, center, right front and just one surround
channel), Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called
stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full-range
fidelity as the three front channels.
Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the 5 full-range
channels provides listeners with excitement that has never
been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by
discrete digital sound processing expands the realism that the
original movie possesses.
LD and DVD are home audio/video program source that could
benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will
also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release
of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will
provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video
software.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect
of Dolby Digital become the most suitable for your audio
system and the listening conditions.
CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP
The Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a
large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally
designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many
speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to
that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the
room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers,
etc. of your listening room are very different from those of a
movie theater.
YAMAHA DSP technology made it possible to present you with
nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie
theater in your listening room by compensating for the lack of
presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original
digital sound fields combined with the Dolby Surround sound
system.
C IN E M A D S P
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
that are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and
YAMAHA DSP technology.
Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the
rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-decoded
sound field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic
environment and emphasize the surround effect in the room,
letting you feel as much presence as if you are watching a
movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.
This combination is available when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE
THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPOR TS sound
field program is selected, and the input signal of source is
analog, PCM audio or encoded with Dolby Digital sound in
2-channel.
Dolby Digital + 3 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the
independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digitaldecoded sound field, respectively. They create a wide
acoustic environment and strong surround effect in the room
without losing high-channel separation. With the wide
dynamic range of Dolby Digital sound, this sound field
combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the
newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the most
ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE
THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPORTS sound
field program is selected, and the input signal of source is
encoded with Dolby Digital sound (except in 2-channel).

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, 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.
The main speakers should be high-performance models and
have enough power-handling capacity to accept the maximum
output of your audio system.
The other speakers do not have to be equal to the main
speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to
use high-performance models that can reproduce sounds over
the full-range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.
When playing back a source using the DSP program,
DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE
THEATER/DIGITAL MO VIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV
SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains
center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP
program that is Dolby Digital-decoded, conversations will be
output from the center speaker and the ambience will be
excellent.
Note: Set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the
“LARGE” or “SMALL” position. (See page 23 for
details.)
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer
is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or
all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency
effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source that
is Dolby Digital-decoded. You may wish to choose the
convenience of a YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. When
playing back a source using the DSP program, DOLBY PRO
LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/
DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/
DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or
when playing back a source which contains center-channel
signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program that is
Dolby Digital-decoded, the center sound is output from the left
and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of
other programs will be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
Note: Be sure to set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to
the “NONE” position. (See page 23 for details.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Main: The position of your present stereo speaker
system.
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly
inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) up from the
floor.
Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker.)
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not as critical,
because low bass tones are not highly directional.

........................................................... 2 SWITCHED OUTLETS
Australia model .....................................1 SWITCHED OUTLET
Use these to connect the power cords from your components to
this unit.
The power to the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) is controlled by
this unit’s STANDBY/ON or the provided remote control
transmitter’s POWER. 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 OUTLET(S) is
100 watts.
CONNECTIONS
Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections have been completed.
CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER COMPONENTS
When making connections between this unit and other components, be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L
(left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each component to be connected to this unit.
* If you have YAMAHA components numbered as !, #, $, etc. on the rear panel, connections can be made easily by making sure
to connect the output (or input) terminals of each component to the same-numbered terminals of this unit.

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (COAXIAL AND/OR OPTICAL) TERMINALS
If your DVD (LD) player, TV/DBS tuner, etc. are equipped with
coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can
be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital
signal input terminals.
To make a connection between optical digital audio signal
terminals, remove the cover from each terminal, and then
connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber
cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not
function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the COAXIAL (or
OPTICAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit
connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals
of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a
tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit. You can
easily switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and
“analog”. (See page 30 for details.)
Notes
• When connecting an audio/video unit to both the digital and
analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect between
terminals of the same name.
• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used in order to protect them from dust.
• The input signal from the DVD/LD input terminals is selected
in the following order of priority with the input mode set to the
AUTO position:
1 COAXIAL terminal
2 OPTICAL terminal
3 Analog terminal
• All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to
sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
• If your LD player has Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal
and not digital signal output, use the RF demodulator
(separate purchase).

Note
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear panel of this unit.
Main speaker connections
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If
you use only one speaker system, connect it to either of the
SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
Rear speaker connections
A rear speaker system can be connected to this unit. Place
them to the rear of your listening position.
Center speaker connection
A center speaker can be connected to this unit. Place it on or
under the TV.
Subwoofer connection
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies
or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel.
If you have a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the
YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, connect
the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the input
terminal of the subwoofer system.
If you have a separate amplifier and subwoofer, connect the
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the input
terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and then connect the
speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer.
When the input signals to this unit are for normal 2-channel
stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 90 Hz from
the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input
to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal
outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.
Note: The output level of signals from this terminal is adjusted
by VOLUME on the front panel or VOLUME (
) on
the remote control transmitter.
