PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
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 10
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.
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.
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.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel
sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources.
The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital
(AC-3) 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 (AC-3)
decoder.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture
the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs,
theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately
recreate any one of these live performance environments, all in
your own home.
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 (AC-3)
The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a
totally new sound experiences.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that
provides completely independent multi-channel audio to
consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3)
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.
6
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 (AC-3) 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.
Laser Disc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit
from Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-
3) 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 (AC-3)
encoded video software.

Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)
English
The following original functions make the surround-sound
effect of Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 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.
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 Surrounddecoded 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
No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of
source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) in 2-channels.
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.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and
YAMAHA DSP technology.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) + 3 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and
the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby
Digital (AC-3)-decoded 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 (AC-3) 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
No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of
source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (except in
2-channels).

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 full range
for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.
When playing back a source using the DSP program,
DIGITAL (PRO LOGIC), DIGITAL (PRO LOGIC)
ENHANCED, DIGITAL (70 mm) MOVIE THEATER 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 (AC-3) decoded, conversations
will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be
excellent.
Note: Set the CENTER SPEAKER mode to the “NORMAL” or
“WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 22.)
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 (AC-3) 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, DIGITAL
(PRO LOGIC), DIGITAL (PRO LOGIC) ENHANCED,
DIGITAL (70 mm) MOVIE THEATER 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 (AC-3) decoded, the center sound is output from the left
and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
Note: Be sure to set the CENTER SPEAKER mode to the
“PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 22.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
When you place speakers, refer to the following.
English
Main: In normal position. (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 so critical
because low bass tones are not highly directional.

If your DVD (LD) player, TV/satellite 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 OPTICAL (or
COAXIAL) 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 29 for details.)
DVD (LD) player
Notes
●
When connecting an audio/video unit to both of the digital
and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to
both terminals of the same name.
●
Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from
dust.
●
All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the
sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

Notes on connecting with an LD player equipped with an AC-3 RF output
English
If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output terminal and no
digital signal output terminal for AC-3 discrete audio signals,
connect the AC-3 RF signal output terminal to this unit’s
OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input terminal by using
an RF demodulator (separate purchase).
First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output terminal of the LD
player to the AC-3 RF signal input terminal of the RF
demodulator. Next, connect the optical (or coaxial) digital
signal output terminal of the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL
(or COAXIAL) digital signal input terminal of this unit.
This connection is necessary for sending audio signals
encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) from the LD player to
this unit.
It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s
analog audio signal input terminals regardless of the AC-3 RF
signal connection, for playing back an LD source with the
Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or
monaural).
If desired, you can also connect the digital signal output
terminal (for 2-channel audio signals) of the LD player to this
unit. If you will do so, connect it to the COAXIAL digital signal
input terminal of this unit, and connect the RF demodulator to
the OPTICAL digital signal input terminal of this unit.
By this connection, if the input mode of the DVD/LD source is
in “AUTO”, you can enjoy listening to sounds with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) decoded when you play a disc encoded with the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) though signals are input to both OPTICAL
and COAXIAL digital signal input terminals of this unit
simultaneously (because signals input to the OPTICAL terminal
take priority of signals input to the COAXIAL terminal).
See page 29 for details about switching the input mode.
LD player
Notes
●
If your LD player has an OPTICAL digital output terminal
(for 2-channel audio signals), be sure not to connect it to
this unit’s OPTICAL digital input terminal. If you do so,
when you play a disc encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3),
the Dolby Digital (AC-3) will not be decoded because the 2channel audio signals input to this unit’s OPTICAL digital
input terminal are selected prior to the signals encoded with
the Dolby Digital (AC-3) input to this unit’s COAXIAL digital
input terminal by way of an RF demodulator.
(U.S.A. model)
RF demodulator
(YAMAHA APD-1 etc.)
●
If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can
play a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL terminal,
so the signals input to the COAXIAL terminal take priority. In
this case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD
sound surely. However, if your RF demodulator is the
Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.
●
When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3),
you must switch off the power to the RF demodulator.
