SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Although speakers should ideally be placed as shown below, satisfactory effects may be obtained even if you do not strictly follow these guidelines.

Main speakers

Place in each side of the TV monitor.

Subwoofer (sold separately)

Place near the right or left main speaker.

■ Main speakers NX-VS10M

Place the main speakers an equal distance from each side of the TV monitor. Placing the main speakers at almost the same height as your listening position is more effective.

■ YAMAHA center speaker

NX-VS10C (sold separately)

Place the center speaker on top of the television and align the front surface of the speaker with the front surface of the television monitor. If the speaker cannot be placed on top of the television, place it on a rack beneath the television as close to the television monitor as possible.

■ YAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E

(sold separately)

Depending on room conditions, it is possible to place YAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E on shelves or hang them on the wall. Speakers should be placed about 1.5 m above the floor when you sit on the floor, or about 1.8 m above the floor when you sit on the chair.

Center speaker (sold separately)

Place above the TV monitor in the center.

Right rear speaker

1.5 - 1.8 m

Left rear speaker

Rear speakers (sold separately)

Place behind or to the sides of the listening position.

■ YAMAHA subwoofer SW-VS10

(sold separately)

Place the subwoofer at the outside of the either right or left main speaker and turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections. Try altering the position of the subwoofer versus the listening position as the relative position will affect the way the bass sounds.

CAUTION

Although these main speakers are magnetically shielded, they may still affect the color on the television monitor when using the speakers near the television. Adjust the relative positions of the speakers and the television if this happen. Perform the following steps if you are using a magnetically shielded television. 1 Turn off the television. 2 Wait awhile and turn the television back on.

You can also use the screw holes on the bottom of the main speakers for installing the speakers on commercially available speaker stands.

Switching the input mode

This function allows you to switch the input mode of the component connected to the DIGITAL 1 or DIGITAL 2 terminal to “Auto Mode” or “dts Fix”.

Auto Mode : This recognizes the PCM signal such as a CD,

Dolby digital signal or DTS signal automatically.

dts Fix : This fixes to a DTS signal. Normally, the playback can be performed with the “Auto

Mode”. If you play a CD encoded with DTS in the “Auto Mode” setting, there will be a short noise at first while the unit recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction and can be avoided by setting the input mode to “dts Fix” beforehand. When you play and stop a CD encoded with DTS in the “Auto Mode” setting, the sound is muted even if you play the PCM signal such as a normal CD and the 30 seconds. However, this condition is released after about 30 seconds.

MENU FUNCTIONS

Adjusting the Center Delay Time

The center delay time is the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the sound from the center speaker. When the other DSP program except for SILENT CINEMA is selected, it is possible to adjust the center delay time. This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main speakers) and dialog, etc. (on the center speaker).

This makes sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the right and left main speakers to your listening position. Each time the value of the center delay time is added by 1 ms, the center speaker is positioned farther from your listening position by about 30 cm virtually.

Adjusting the Delay Time

When the selected DSP program is VIRTUAL SURROUND, DOLBY DIGITAL/DOLBY PRO LOGIC/ DTS or SILENT CINEMA, it is possible to adjust the delay time. The delay time is that time difference between when the sound from the main speakers can be heard and the surround sound can be heard.

The larger the value, the later the sound field effect is generated.

1 Press MENU to display “Delay Time”.

2 Press MENU + or – to adjust the delay time.

For example, when the delay time of the Dolby Digital (except for 2 ch)/DTS inputs is adjusted from 0 ms (minimum) to 5 ms, that of the other signal inputs is adjusted from 15 ms (minimum) to 20 ms automatically.

After adjusting the menu functions, press MENU. The input display returns.

GLOSSARY

■ Encode/Decode

When a signal or other information is processed, compressed and digitized, this is called encoding. Encoding can be used to record an extremely large amount of information on a single CD or DVD. An encoded signal cannot be listened to directly. It must be returned to its original state (i.e. audible sound) and this is called decoding.

■ Sound field

Not all sound travels from the sound source directly into the human ear, but instead reflects off of walls, ceilings and other objects to arrive at the ear slightly delayed (early reflection). It may also reflect repeatedly in a complicated manner before reaching the ear (subsequent reverberation). A human is able to perceive the size and shape of a location based on the various sounds heard in this way. The specific acoustic space of a particular building is called a sound field.

■ Dolby Surround

In movie theaters and in live theaters, the spectators are surrounded by many speakers and sound effects geared to each scene are used to make sound move from front to back and right to left. This gives the sound a three dimensional feel that surrounds the entire body. Dolby Surround is used to implement this realistic effect. Originally, the Dolby Surround system consisted of a total of four channels: two front channels (right and left), one center channel, and one rear channel. Later, two-channel stereo compatibility was added to for broadcast and video media used in the home. The ability to easily set up a home AV system capable of stereo reproduction is one of the biggest features of Dolby Surround.

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital consists of a total of five channels: three front channels (left, center and right) and two rear channels (right and left), plus a distinct LFE channel for low frequency effect. It is therefore commonly referred to as a 5.1 channel system. Using digital compression technology for all 5.1 channels, Dolby Digital can be used for completely independent audio reproduction. Dolby Digital offers superior sound separation between each channels and a more three dimensional surround effect in comparison to the older Dolby Surround, which mixes four channels (three front and one rear) into two-channel stereo and separates them using a matrix circuit.

■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Digital Surround

DTS was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and it is now 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.

DTS technology, through intense research and development has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it is 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.

■ Virtual surround

We basically perceive the direction from which sounds come to us based on the difference in time they reach the right and left ears and differences in sound level. Virtual technology is based on this property of the human ear. A DSP (digital sound field processor — a form of digital signal processing) and right and left main speakers are used so that the listener feels like he or she is hearing sounds that come from virtual speakers located in directions other than just the two physical speakers. This allows the listener to experience surround effects as if rear speakers were present as in a five-speaker system.

■ YAMAHA DSP (Digital Sound Field

Processor)

YAMAHA technicians traveled to world famous concert halls, opera houses and other locations just to measure acoustical information such as the direction, intensity, band characteristics, and delay time of reflected sounds. This wealth of information was then put on a ROM. Using a built-in YAMAHA DSP (digital sound field processor) to create sound fields, this unit allows you to freely select various sound field programs created from this actual acoustical data so that you can reproduce the sound field of concert halls and live houses right in your listening room. Movie makers design sounds for a movie so that the sound and screen become one. Dialog is positioned right on the screen, sound effects behind the screen, music behind that, and surround effects wrap around the audience. CINEMA DSP is a program for use in AV reproduction that has evolved from YAMAHA DSP. Fusing the movie sound decoders, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS, with YAMAHA DSP, allows you to reproduce the type of surround sound field of the quality found on a dubbing stage designed to optimize movie surround conditions. (A dubbing stage is the final mix used to complete the final sound design for a movie.) By adding YAMAHA DSP processing to both the right and left front channels and the center channel, the CINEMA DSP program wraps the audience in a surround sound field that not only makes dialog real, but penetrates and surrounds the screen to give depth to sound effects and music as well as a smooth sense of movement to sound sources.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Be sure to investigate thoroughly before requesting repairs or after service. If it cannot be corrected, or if the problem is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center.

Notes

• Sometimes the unit may cease to recognize operations due to a mistaken operation or as a result of strong external noise (such as irregular voltage due to shock of impact, excessive static electricity, or lightning strike). If this happens, first disconnect the power cord, wait about 30 seconds, re-connect the power cord, and try the desired operation again.

• When requesting repairs or after service of the YAMAHA subwoofer, center speaker and rear speakers NX-SW10 (sold separately), be sure to bring along with this unit.

■ General

SYMPTOM CHECK Refer to page

No sound output at all.

A “humming” noise is present.

The STANDBY indicator flashes slowly.

There is noise in the tuner or TV and the video image is unstable.

• Is the AC power supply cord connected?

• Is the TV or VCR connected correctly?

• Are the main speakers connected correctly?

• Is the input source selected correctly?

• Is the sound muted temporarily?
