place.

■ Notes on batteries

• Change all of the batteries if you notice a decrease in
the operating range of the remote control, that the
indicator does not flash, or the light becoming dim.

• 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.

• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them
immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or
letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean
the battery compartment thoroughly before installing
new batteries.

If the remote control is without batteries for more than
2 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the
remote control, the contents of the memory may be
cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert new

INFORMATION

APPENDIX

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound­field quality with a 6-speaker system, using main left and
right speakers, rear left and right speakers, a center
speaker, and a rear 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 manufacturer or speakers
with the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound
plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers
from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are
used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is
for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The rear center
speaker supplements the rear (left and right) speakers and
provides for more realistic front-to-back transitions.

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 the
models of equivalent performance with the main
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 Dolby Digital or DTS signals. The
YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is
ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

PREPARATION

Speaker placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the
speakers.

■ Main speakers

Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance between
each speaker and each side of the video monitor should
also be the same.

■ Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front
face of your video 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.

■ Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the
floor.

■ Rear center speaker

Place the rear center speaker in the center between the
rear left and right speakers at the same height from the
floor as the rear speakers.

■ 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 wall
reflections.

Note

• If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear, center and/or rear
center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the
SET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals you
connect speakers to.

CAUTION

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with the monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.

Connecting the speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.

Notes

• If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT
VIDEO jacks of this unit, the OSD is not shown. Make sure to
connect your video monitor to the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks and either VIDEO or S VIDEO jacks if you want to see
the OSD.

• Playing back video software that has an anti-copy signal or
video signals with a lot of noise may produce unstable images.

(When using two video monitors)

• If you select video source from a component connected to both
the S VIDEO IN and composite VIDEO IN jacks, and both S
VIDEO OUT and composite VIDEO OUT jacks are connected
to two different monitors, the OSD appears only the monitor
connected with S-video jacks. When there is no video signal
input from source component, the OSD appears on both
monitors.
