CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
1.To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
2.Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.
3.Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the unit, contact your dealer.
4.Do not use force on switches, controls or connection cables. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power cord and then the cables connected to other component. Never pull the cables themselves.
5.The openings on the cover assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire and damage.
Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the unit to prevent fire and damage.
6.The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that specified.
7.Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere with other component such as tuners, receivers and TVs. Move this unit farther away from such component if interference is observed.
8.Always set VOLUME to the “ M” position before starting the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after playback has been started.
9.Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
10.Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.
11.When not planning to use this unit for a long period of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
12.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power cord and disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.
13.Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated.
14.AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the AC outlet on the rear panel if that component requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.
This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.
■ For U.K. customers
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below.
Note
• The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
■ Special Instructions for U.K. Model
IMPORTANT
THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

PREPARATION
Speakers to Be Used
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, 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 manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.
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. The other speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use highperformance models that can reproduce sounds over the full range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
■Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer. 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) channel with high fidelity when playing back a source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

■ Main speakers
Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the same.
■ Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the floor.
■ Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor and centrally between the main speakers.
Note
• If the center speaker is not used, the center channel sound will be heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 39 for details.)
INTRODUCTION
TIONOPERA ADVANCED OPERATION BASIC PREPARATION
■ Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
CAUTION
Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically shielded speakers.

Before Connecting Components
CAUTION
Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been completed.
Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each component to be connected to this unit.
When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products.
Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.
The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

CONNECTIONS
Connecting the Antennas
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality.
Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.
■ Indoor FM antenna (included)
Indoor FM antenna
Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The indoor FM antenna is only a simple antenna. For reception with better sound quality, installing the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) is recommended.
Note
• Do not connect an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM antenna at the same time.
■ Outdoor FM antenna
75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (included for U.K. model)
75-ohm coaxial cable
75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (included for U.K. model)
You may be unable to obtain good FM radio reception depending on your local conditions (distance from the broadcasting station, interposing buildings and mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or authorized service
center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local conditions.
Install the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) in a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid being affected by automobile ignition noise.
