INTRODUCTION
What’s DSP?
Introduction
Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment.
This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV
receiver 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.
Digital Sound Field Processing
Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30
years have enhanced the listening experience with improved
clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been
missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public
venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched
the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects
inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters
and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of
those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they
collected is used to recreate these environments in digital
sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created
using data measured directly at the original venue; others are
created from combinations of data to form unique
environments for specific purposes.
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.
Of course, that only solves half of the problem. These
engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your
listening room, so we’ve made it possible for you to adjust the
various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to
your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any
source and in combination with any of the following surround
sound technologies. Some are designed especially for music,
and some especially for movies.
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.
4
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
INTRODUCTION
English
Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound system
developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate
audio coding.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides
completely independent multi-channel audio to you. 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), and 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 is called the “subwoofer channel” or “LFE
channel”.) 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.
By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience
the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo Digital theater
sound in your home.
Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full range
channels and precise sound orientation by the digital sound
processing presents listeners much excitement and realism
that has never been experienced before.
Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, and
moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2
channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2
channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby
Digital in the market.
Laserdisc 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.

DTS Digital Surround
DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to
replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete
channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is installed in many
theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system
changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six
discrete channels of superb digital audio.
The DTS technology, through intense research and
development, made it possible to deliver a similar
encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surroundsound entertainment.
The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which
delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically
5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and
two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as
“0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that
are currently available for home theater systems
The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the
six channels of 20-bit audio onto some laserdiscs, compact
discs and DVDs with considerably less data-compression.
By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS
installed theater’s high quality sound in your home.
Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD are home audio format
within which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channel
audio. (In addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting new
multi-channel music recordings will also become available in
the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

CINEMA DSP
INTRODUCTION
CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full
ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater
that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound
environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is
difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the
number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening
room is very different from 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 were
watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 2, 3 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of No. 1 is
selected, and the input signal of the source is analog, PCM
audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channels.
However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearly
the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in
your home by compensating for the lack of presence and
dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround
sounds.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP
technology and Dolby Surround or DTS.
Dolby Digital or DTS + 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-decoded or the DTS-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 or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you
feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby
Stereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This is the
most ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 2, 3 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS DIGITAL
SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 1 is selected, and the input signal
of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (except in 2channels) or encoded with the DTS.

PREPARATION
Speaker setup
m Setting up your speaker system
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field
quality with a full five-speaker system setup, using a pair of
main speakers to output main source sounds, a pair of effect
speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker
for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a fivespeaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of
effect speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive
ambience and effects, however, and may be a good way to
begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to the fivespeaker system later.
Use of the center dialog speaker is
recommended
When playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or
playing back a source which contains center-channel signals
with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are
output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to
maximize the performance of your Audio/Video home theater
system, it is recommended that you use a center channel
speaker.
If, for some reason, it is not practical to use a center speaker, it
is possible to enjoy the movie without it. Best results, however,
are obtained with the full system.
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 signals at the
subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a
source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded. You may wish to
choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.
m Speakers and speaker placement
Your full five-speaker system will require two speaker pairs:
the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers) and the
REAR SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may
also be using a SUBWOOFER.
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 REAR
SPEAKERS.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the ordinary position.
Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.
They should be nearly 1.8m above the floor.
Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two
MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker
above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically
shielded speaker.)
If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo
Processing Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is
not so critical because low bass tones are not highly
directional.

5 Speaker System
The recommended system for enjoying Audio/Video
sources.
By the use of a center speaker, center channel sounds (dialog,
vocals etc.) are precisely localized.
1. CENTER SPEAKER—Set to “LRG” or “SML”.
(See page 27.)
4 Speaker System
Basic system.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding a pair of
rear speakers to a basic stereo speaker system.
However, center channel sounds must be output from the left
and right main speakers.

m Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals
If your CD player, LD player, DVD 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
or OPTICAL, or both terminals.
Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog
audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are
necessary, especially for an LD player, a DVD player or a CD
player to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to
this unit.
LD player, DVD player, etc.
To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an
external unit, remove the cover from each optical 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.

m Connecting to DOLBY DIGITAL RF output of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player
English
If your DVD/LD/CD combi-player has a DOLBY DIGITAL RF
signal output terminal, it can be connected to this unit by using
an RF demodulator (separate purchase).
First, connect the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal of
the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the DOLBY DIGITAL RF
signal input terminal of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the
coaxial digital signal output terminal of the RF demodulator to
the COAXIAL digital signal input terminal of this unit.
This connection is necessary for sending audio signals of an
LD source encoded with Dolby Digital to this unit.
It is also necessary to connect the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to
this unit’s analog audio signal input terminals regardless of the
DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal connection. This is for playing back
a source with Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal
stereo (or monaural).
You must also connect the optical digital signal output terminal
of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the OPTICAL DVD/LD
digital signal input terminal of this unit.
This connection is necessary for playing back a DVD source
with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, and playing back an LD
source with DTS decoded.
When these connections are completed, set the input mode of
the DVD/LD source to “AUTO”, and you will hear sounds
decoded with Dolby Digital even if signals are input to both
COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital signal input terminals of this
unit. This is because signals input to the COAXIAL terminal
take priority over signals input to the OPTICAL terminal.
Refer to page 36 for details about switching the input mode.
Notes
●
If, for example, you play a CD on the DVD/LD/CD combiplayer, there is no input to the COAXIAL terminal, so the
signals input to the OPTICAL terminal take priority. In this
case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound
without interference. However, if your RF demodulator is the
Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.
●
When you want to play an LD source encoded with Dolby
Digital without decoding Dolby Digital, you must switch off
the power of the RF demodulator.

drive main, center and/or rear speakers with your existing
amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for
connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.
1 MAIN terminals
These terminals are for main channel line output.
If you drive main speakers with an external stereo power
amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a
receiver) to these terminals.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
* Output signals from the MAIN terminals are affected by
the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls, BASS
EXTENSION button and the TONE BYPASS button.
3 CENTER terminal
This terminal is for center channel line output.
If you drive a center speaker with an external power
amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external
amplifier to this terminal.
There is no connection to this terminal when you use the
built-in amplifier.
4 REAR (SURROUND) terminals
These terminals are for rear channel line output.
If you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power
amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a
receiver) to these terminals.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
Notes
Output level of signals from all of these terminals are
•
adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel
or VOLUME keys on the remote controller.
If an external power amplifier is connected to the MAIN,
•
CENTER, or REAR output terminals, do not use the
corresponding SPEAKERS terminals (MAIN, CENTER, or

Antennas
●
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, as shown in the following figure.
●
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 only with the indoor antennas, the use of an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

PREPARATION
m Connecting the indoor FM antenna
Connect the included indoor antenna to the 75Ω UNBAL. FM
ANT terminal.
Note
Do not use an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM
antenna at the same time.
m Optional outdoor AM antenna
If this unit is placed in steel buildings or an area far from
broadcasting stations, it may be necessary to install an outside
long wire antenna.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect
the GND terminal to a good ground. A good ground is a
metal stake driven into moist earth.
m Optional outdoor FM antenna
Consult your dealer or authorized service center about the best
method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of the flat ribbon cable is also important. Flat ribbon
cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat
easier to handle when routing it through windows and around
rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better
job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of
weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a
signal conductor as flat ribbon cable. Coaxial cable is
somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable
enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the
antenna is designed to be used with this type of cable.
