FEATURES ON SOUND EFFECT
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital
sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field
from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like
experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 8
digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an
excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field
(this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to),
and adding desired adjustments.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder and Dolby Digital decoder for multi-channel sound
reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The
operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital
decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP
program including combined operations of the YAMAHA DSP
and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital decoder.
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 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 home.
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
Surround movie 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 channels (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 the sound track of pre-recorded
video tapes, laser discs, 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
distributes the surround-sound effects.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder employs a digital signal
processing system. This system improves the stability of sound
at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that
positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate
compared with conventional analog signal processing systems.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you the best performance without
manual adjustment.
Dolby Digital
The built-in Dolby Digital decoder leads you into a totally new
sound experiences.
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 consumers. In
multi-channel form, Dolby Digital provides five 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 that 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 five full range
channels presents listeners much excitement that has never
been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the
discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the
original movie possesses.
LD and DVD are home audio formats 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.
• Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed
so that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.
• Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to
either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER
terminal to maximize system performance.
• Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN
SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminal to
maximize system performance.
Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)
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 is much 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 lack of
presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original
digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.
CINEMA DSP
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
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 surround-effect in the room,
letting you feel much presence as if you are watching a
movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.
This combination is available when the sound field program
DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL
ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE
THEATER or TV SPORTS is selected, and the input signal of
source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby
Digital 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 much surround effect in the room
without losing high channel separation. With 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 sound field program
DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL
ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE
THEATER or TV SPORTS is selected, and the input signal of
source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (except in 2-channel).

SPEAKER SETUP
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with
a 5-speaker configuration, using main speakers, rear speakers
and a center speaker.
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, 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.
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 in 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 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 with the 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. (For details, see
page 20.)
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 with
the 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 with the
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. (For details, see page 20.)

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 digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape
deck or VCR connected to this unit. You can switch the
selection of input signals between “digital” and “analog” easily.
(See page 27 for details.)
Notes
• When connecting an audio/video unit to both of the digital
and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to

OUTPUT TERMINALS (FOR DRIVING SPEAKERS WITH EXTERNAL AMPLIFIERS)
MAIN OUTPUT terminals
These terminals are for the main channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
However, if you drive the main speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an
integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
* Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, and BALANCE.
CENTER OUTPUT terminals
These terminals are for the center channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
How to connect
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut 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 the + and –
markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
For connecting to the MAIN SPEAKERS
terminals
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
1 Unscrew the knob.
2 Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5 mm
(1/4”) insulation from the
speaker wires.]
3 Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.
1 Press the tab.
2 Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5 mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]
3 Release the tab and
secure the wire.
However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power
amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to
this terminal.
If you are placing two center speakers on each side of the TV,
use two amplifiers and connect each amplifier to one of the two
CENTER OUTPUT terminals. Then connect the center
speakers to the amplifiers.
REAR (SURROUND) OUTPUT terminals
These terminals are for the rear channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
However, if you drive the rear speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an
integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal
This terminal is for connecting to the input terminal of an
amplifier for driving a subwoofer.
When the input signals to this unit are in 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
Output levels of signals from all of these terminals are
adjusted by the use of VOLUME on the front panel or
VOLUME (
) on the remote control transmitter.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be correctly connected to the designated terminals, referring to the following diagram.
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.
GND TERMINAL
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a
metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
• When connecting the indoor FM
antenna, insert its connector into
the FM ANT terminal firmly.
• If you need an outdoor FM antenna
to improve FM reception quality,
either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial
cable may be used. In locations
troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.
Orient so that the best
reception is obtained.

ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT
SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES
This unit provides you the following five functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for
your audio system. When speaker connections are all completed, select a proper position on each function to make the best use of
your speaker system. (See “ADJUSTMENTS IN THE ‘SET MENU’ MODE” on page 46.)
1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) 2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER) 3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)
4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT) 5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION
1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL/NONE
Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position when your center speaker is
approximately the same size as the main speakers.
SMALL: Select this position when you use a center speaker
that is smaller than the main speakers.
In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the
center channel are output from the main speakers (or
the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SMALL
position is selected on “3. MAIN” and the SW position
is selected on “4. BASS”).
NONE: Select this position when you do not have a center
speaker. The center channel sound will be output
from the left and right main speakers.
2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL
Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position if your rear speakers have a high
ability for bass reproduction, or a subwoofer is
connected to the rear speaker in parallel.
In this position, full range signals are output from the
rear speakers.
SMALL: Select this position if your rear speakers do not have
a high ability for bass reproduction.
In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the
rear channels are output from the SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT terminal (or the main speakers if the MAIN
position is selected on “4. BASS”).
3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL
Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position if your main speakers have a
high ability for bass reproduction.
In this position, full range signals present at the main
channels are output from the main speakers.
SMALL: Select this position if your main speakers do not
have a high ability for bass reproduction. However, if
your system does not include a subwoofer, do not
select this position.
In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the
main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT terminal if the SW or BOTH position is
selected on “4. BASS”.
4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH
Preset position: SW
MAIN: Select this position if your system does not include a
subwoofer.
In this position, full range signals present at the main
channels, signals from the LFE channel and other
low bass signals that are selected on “1. CNTR” to
“3. MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are
output from the main speakers.
SW/BOTH:
Select either the SW or BOTH position if your
system includes a subwoofer.
In either position, signals at LFE channel and other
low bass signals that are selected on “1. CNTR” to
“3. MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are
output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.
When the LARGE position is selected on “3. MAIN”,
in the SW position, no signal is distributed from the
main channels to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
terminal, however in the BOTH position, low bass
signals from the main channels are output to both of
the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
terminal.
