Front left and right speakers  
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the ideal listening position.  
The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.  
Center speaker  
The center speaker is for the center channel 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.  
Surround left and right speakers  
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.  
Surround back left and right speakers  
The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.

It is recommended that you use di-pole speakers for surround left

listening position. For the smooth and unbroken sound field behind  
the listening position, place the surround left and right speakers  
farther back compared with the placement in the 11.2/11.1-channel  
speaker layout. The surround back channel signals are directed to  
the surround left and right speakers when “Surround Back” is set to  
If you use a single surround back speaker, connect the single

Connections  
Connecting speakers  
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red line) and “–” (white line) properly. If the connections are faulty, this unit  
cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.  
Caution  
Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 39).  
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/  
or speakers.  
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the  
monitor.  
If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set “SPEAKER IMP.” to “6MIN” before using this unit (see page 39).  
Notes  
• A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.  
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red line) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (white line)  
terminals.  
You can use the REAR ZONE/PRESENCE, FRONT ZONE/PRESENCE, and/or EXTRA SP speaker terminals for the Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4  
speakers (see page 116). You can also use all speaker terminals on this unit for the Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4 speakers (see page 120).

Using subwoofers  
The use of subwoofers with built-in amplifiers, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for  
reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the high fidelity sound of the LFE (low-frequency effect)  
channel included in digital audio signals. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.  
You can use one or two subwoofers and select various positions of the subwoofers.  
Configuration 1:

Using presence speakers  
The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front and surround back speakers with extra ambient effects produced by the sound  
field programs (see page 54). Presence speakers function more effectively when the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode is active (see page 60). You  
can adjust the vertical position of dialogues with using the front presence speakers (see page 77).  
Note  
If “Front Presence” is set to “None”, the rear presence speakers also do not function and you cannot activate the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode.

Connecting audio components  
Notes  
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal on this unit to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the connection to the GND  
terminal for some turntables.  
• The PHONO jacks are only compatible with a turntable with an MM or a high-output MC cartridge. To connect a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge  
to the PHONO jacks, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier.  
• When you connect both the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack and the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack to an audio component, the priority is given to  
the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack.

Connections  
Connecting external amplifiers  
Notes  
This unit has more than enough power for any home use. However,  
if you want to use external amplifiers, connect the external  
amplifiers to the PRE OUT jacks. Each PRE OUT jack outputs the  
same channel signals as the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.  
• When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT  
jacks as the input source (see page 50), this unit automatically turns off the  
digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.  
• The audio signals input at the CENTER and SUBWOOFER MULTI CH  
INPUT jacks are mixed down to the left and right headphone channels.  
• This unit redirects the audio signals input at the CENTER and/or  
SUBWOOFER MULTI CH INPUT jacks to the front left and right speaker  
channels when you set “Center” and/or “Configuration” in “Speaker Set”  
to “None” (see page 84). We recommend that you connect at least a 5.1-  
channel speaker system before using this feature.  
y
Use the external amplifiers in the following cases:  
– when you want to add more power to the speaker output  
– when you want to use another amplifier for your presence of sounds  
– when you want to enjoy the 11.2-channel surround sound in the main  
zone with activating the other zones (see page 111)  
Pre-amplifier mode  
For 6-channel input  
If you want use the external amplifiers for the all channels in the  
main zone, set “PREAMP MODE” to “ON” in the advanced  
setup (see page 120). When “PREAMP MODE” is set to “ON”,  
the power consumption is reduced.

This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and right  
FRONT, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and  
SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a multi-  
format player, external decoder, sound processor or pre-amplifier.  
If you set “Input Channels” to “8ch” in “Multi CH Assign” (see  
page 83), you can use the input jacks assigned as “Front Input” in  
“Multi CH Assign” (see page 83) together with the MULTI CH  
INPUT jacks to input 8-channel signals.  
Note  
* The analog audio input jacks assigned as “Front Input” in “Multi CH  
Assign” (see page 83).  
Connect the output jacks on your multi-format player or external  
decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left  
and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the front and  
surround channels.

Notes  
Advanced automatic setup  
• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output during the  
automatic setup procedure.  
• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as quiet as possible  
while the automatic setup procedure is in progress. If there is too much  
ambient noise, the results may not be satisfactory.  
Use this feature to make fine-adjustments of the sound. You  
can optimize the setup of this unit for multiple listening  
positions in a listening room, and/or for the effect of the sound  
field programs.  
Notes  
• Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may notice irregular  
results when setting the level and/or distance of the main speakers. If this  
happens, THX Ltd. recommends setting them manually.  
• Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers and the  
interaction with the room, THX Ltd. recommends setting the level and the  
distance of the subwoofer manually.

effect is stronger towards the front or rear. When the effect is  
stronger towards the front, the listener senses a feeling of openness  
and depth towards the screen, while when the effect is stronger  
towards the rear, the listener gets a sense of envelopment and  
movement. Suits basically all types of contents for programs with a  
good front/rear balance, and is effective when selected appropriately  
for programs in which the balance is more towards either the front or

Caution  
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if  
you want to use this unit to record sources encoded in DTS, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. To play DTS-  
encoded DVDs and CDs (when using a digital audio connection) on your DTS-compatible player, follow its operating instructions to  
make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player.  
Notes  
• When this unit is set to the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.  
• TONE CONTROL (see page 61) and the volume settings, the speaker level (see page 86) and the sound field programs (see page 54) do not affect recorded  
material.  
• When this unit is in the Pure Direct mode, no signals output at the AUDIO OUT jacks.  
• The source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks on this unit cannot be recorded.  
• The Internet Radio, PC or MCX audio signals are only output at the analog AUDIO OUT jacks.  
• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT jacks for recording. Likewise, analog signals input at the  
AUDIO IN jacks are not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your source component is connected to provide only digital or analog signals,  
you can only record digital or analog signals.  
• A given input source is not output on the same AUDIO OUT channel.  
• S-video and composite video signals pass independently through the video circuits of this unit. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals input  
from a video source component that provides only an S-video or a composite video signal, you can record only an S-video or a composite video signal on  
your VCR.

Basic configuration of sound field programs  
Each sound field program has some parameters defining the  
characteristics of the program. To customize the selected sound  
field program, adjust “DSP Level” and/or “Dialogue Lift” first, and  
then try other parameters.  
If the dialogues are heard at the lower position of the video monitor  
screen, increase the value of “Dialogue Lift”.  
Adjusting the effect sound level of the sound field  
programs (DSP Level)  
Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect sounds) to the  
original source sound to create sound field in the listening room.  
Use the “DSP Level” parameter to adjust the level of the effect  
sounds.  
Move up to the ideal dialogue position  
Choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5  
“0” (initial setting) is the lowest position, and “5” is the highest  
position.  
Notes

• “Dialogue Lift” is available when “Front Presence” is set to “Yes” (see page 84) and  
headphones are not connected.  
You cannot move the dialogue position down from the initial dialogue position.  
Adjust “DSP Level” as follows:  
Increase the value of “DSP Level” when  
• the effect sound of the selected sound field program is too  
weak.  
• you cannot recognize any difference between the sound field  
programs.  
Decrease the value of “DSP Level” when  
• the sound is vague.  
• you feel that the additional sound effect is excessive.

Sound field parameter descriptions  
You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so that the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not  
all of the following parameters are found in every program.

parameter  
Features  
Decoder type. Selects the decoder used with the SUR. DECODE, THX, or MOVIE programs. See page 72 for details.  
Decoder Type  
Initial delay. Presence, surround, and surround back sound field initial delay. Changes the apparent size of the sound field by adjusting the  
delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the smaller the sound field seems to the  
listener.  
Init. Delay

When you adjust the initial delay parameters, we also recommend that you adjust the corresponding room size parameters likewise. This adjustment  
is especially effective for the CINEMA DSP programs.

Room size. Presence, surround, and surround back room size. Adjusts the apparent size of the sound field. The larger the value, the larger  
the surround sound field becomes. As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between  
the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the  
apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two doubles the apparent length of the room.

Sound field  
parameter  
Features  
Liveness. Surround and surround back liveness. Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the  
early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than  
in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly  
reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. This parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate and thus the “liveness” of the room.

or Zone 4.  
The multi-zone system configuration differs depending on your  
requirements and equipment. Before connecting the speakers and/or  
external amplifiers for the multi-zone configuration, plan the total  
design of your multi-zone system.  
When you plan the system, consider the following points:  
1. Do you want to use the internal amplifiers of this unit or  
external amplifiers?  
Step 1: Planning the multi-zone system  
First, plan the total multi-zone system with this unit  
carefully.  
2. How many zones do you want to use this unit for?  
3. How many channels do you want to use in the main zone?  
4. If you use the internal amplifiers for the other zones, you  
cannot use some channels in the main zone in some cases.  
5. How many speakers do you have?  
6. Do you want to use the visual sources other than the main  
zone?  
Step 2: Connecting the speakers and/  
or external amplifiers  
y
Wire cables between rooms and connect the component  
and speakers to this unit.  
Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-zone  
configuration, we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha  
dealer or service center for the planning and setup of the multi-zone system that best  
meet your requirements.  
Pre-amplifier mode  
If you want use the external amplifiers for the all channels in the  
main zone, you can use all the speaker terminals on this unit for  
Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4 (Pre-amplifier mode). Set  
“PREAMP MODE” to “ON” in the advanced setup (see  
Step 3: Set the zone parameters  
Once you have finished the connections, turn on this unit  
and then set the parameters in “Multi Zone” menu (see  
– Use “Zone SP Assign” to designate the speaker  
terminals on this unit to each zone.  
– Use “Zone2 Set”, “Zone3 Set”, or “Zone4 Set”  
parameters to set the volume settings and other  
functions in each zone.  
In the following instruction, following system configuration is the  
example. When you use this system configuration, you can enjoy  
7.2-channel playback in the main zone and 2-channel playback in  
the optional two zones. You can also enjoy 5.2-channel playback in  
the main zone and 2-channel playback in the optional three zones.

Using multi-zone configuration  
Step2: Connecting the speakers, external amplifiers, and/or other components  
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:  
An infrared signal receiver in Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4.  
An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone  
4 to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).  
An amplifier and speakers for Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4.  
A video monitor for the second room.  
Using the internal amplifier of this unit  
Important safety notice  
The speaker terminals of this amplifier should not be connected to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or more than one loudspeaker per  
channel.  
Connection to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or multiple speakers per channel could create an abnormally low impedance load  
resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner’s manual for correct usage.  
Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all channels must be maintained at all times. This information is found on  
the back panel of your amplifier.  
To make the system of the example, connect the speakers in the  
main zone and other zones as follows:  
You can assign the following speaker terminals to Zone 2, Zone 3,  
and/or Zone 4 freely.

Glossary  
Glossary  
Audio and video synchronization (lip sync)  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Lip sync, an abbreviation for lip synchronization, is a technical term that involves both  
a problem and a capability of maintaining audio and video signals synchronized during  
post-production and transmission. Whereas the audio and video latency requires  
complex end-user adjustments, HDMI version 1.3 incorporates an automatic audio and  
video syncing capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization  
automatically and accurately without user interaction.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete multi-channel playback  
from 2-channel or multi-channel sources. There are three modes available: “Music  
mode” for music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources (for 2-channel sources  
only) and “Game mode” for game sources.  
Dolby Surround  
Dolby Surround uses a 4-channel analog recording system to reproduce realistic and  
dynamic sound effects: 2 front left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for  
dialog (monaural), and a surround channel for special sound effects (monaural). The  
surround channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround  
is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable  
broadcasts as well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital  
signal processing system that automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to  
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.  
Bi-amplification connection  
A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker. One amplifier is  
connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the  
combined mid and tweeter section. With this arrangement each amplifier operates over  
a restricted frequency range. This restricted range presents each amplifier with a much  
simpler job and each amplifier is less likely to influence the sound in some way. The  
internal crossover of the speaker consists of a LPF (low pass filter) and a HPF (high  
pass filter). As its name implies, the LPF passes frequencies below a cutoff and rejects  
frequencies above the cutoff frequency. Likewise, the HPF passes frequencies above its  
cutoff.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Dolby TrueHD is an advanced lossless audio technology developed for high-definition  
disc-based media including HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Selected as a mandatory audio  
standard for HD DVD and as an optional audio standard for Blu-ray Disc, this  
technology delivers sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, offering a  
high-definition home theater experience. Supporting bitrates up to 18.0 Mbps, Dolby  
TrueHD can carry up to 8 discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously.  
Supported by HDMI version 1.3 and designed for the optical disc players and AV  
receivers/amplifiers of the future, Dolby TrueHD also remains fully compatible with  
the existing multichannel audio systems and retains the metadata capability of Dolby  
Digital, allowing dialog normalization and dynamic range control.  
Component video signal  
With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal  
for the luminance and the PB and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be  
reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is  
independent. The component signal is also called the “color difference signal” because  
the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A monitor with component  
input jacks is required in order to output component signals.  
Composite video signal  
DSD  
With the composite video signal system, the video signal is composed of three basic  
elements of a video picture: color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite  
video jack on a video component transmits these three elements combined.  
Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology stores audio signals on digital storage media,  
such as Super Audio CDs. Using DSD, signals are stored as single bit values at a high-  
frequency sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz, while noise shaping and oversampling are  
used to reduce distortion, a common occurrence with very high quantization of audio  
signals. Due to the high sampling rate, better audio quality can be achieved than that  
offered by the PCM format used for normal audio CDs.  
Deep Color  
Deep Color refers to the use of various color depths in displays, up from the 24-bit  
depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification. This extra bit depth allows  
HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors and eliminate  
on-screen color banding for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between  
colors. The increased contrast ratio can represent many times more shades of gray  
between black and white. Also Deep Color increases the number of available colors  
within the boundaries defined by the RGB or YCbCr color space.  
DTS 96/24  
DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality for multi-channel sound on  
DVD video, and is fully backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers to a  
96 kHz sampling rate compared to the typical 48 kHz sampling rate. “24” refers to 24-  
bit word length.  
DTS 96/24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master, and 96/24 5.1-  
channel sound with full-quality full-motion video for music programs and motion  
picture soundtracks on DVD video.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent  
multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (front L/R and center), and 2 surround  
stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio channels. With an additional  
channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (Low Frequency Effect), the system has  
a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By using 2-channel stereo for  
the surround speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound  
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The wide dynamic range from  
maximum to minimum volume reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the precise  
sound orientation generated using digital sound processing provide listeners with  
unprecedented excitement and realism. With this unit, any sound environment from  
monaural up to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for your enjoyment.  
DTS Digital Surround  
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a  
6.1-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters  
around the world. DTS, Inc. has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy  
the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital surround in your  
home. This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically,  
front left and right, center, surround left and right, and LFE 0.1 (subwoofer) channels  
for a total of 5.1 channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1-  
channel reproduction by adding the surround back channel to the existing 5.1-channel  
format.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources.  
This is done using a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the 2 in the  
original recording. For the best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie  
sound tracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel,  
you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially with scenes  
with “fly-over” and “fly-around” effects.  
DTS Express  
DTS Express is an advanced audio technology for the optional feature on Blu-ray Disc  
or HD DVD, which offers high-quality, low bit rate audio optimized for network  
streaming, and Internet applications. DTS Express is used for the Secondary Audio  
feature of Blu-ray Disc or the Sub Audio feature of HD DVD. These features deliver  
audio commentaries (for example, the additional commentaries made by the director of  
a film) on demand by the users via the Internet, etc. DTS Express signals are mixed  
down with the main audio stream on the player component, and the component sends  
the mixed audio stream to the AV receivers/amplifiers via digital coaxial, digital  
optical, or analog connections.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Dolby Digital Plus is an advanced audio technology developed for high-definition  
programming and media including HD broadcasts, HD DVD, and Blu-ray Disc.  
Selected as a mandatory audio standard for HD DVD and as an optional audio standard  
for Blu-ray Disc, this technology delivers multichannel sound with discrete channel  
output. Supporting bitrates up to 6.0 Mbps, Dolby Digital Plus can carry up to 7.1  
discreet audio channels simultaneously. Supported by HDMI version 1.3 and designed  
for the optical disc players and AV receivers/amplifiers of the future, Dolby Digital Plus  
also remains fully compatible with the existing multichannel audio systems that  
incorporate Dolby Digital.  
DTS-HD Master Audio  
DTS-HD Master Audio is an advanced lossless audio technology developed for high-  
definition disc-based media including HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Selected as a  
mandatory audio standard for both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, this technology delivers  
sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, offering a high-definition home  
theater experience. Supporting bitrates up to 18.0 Mbps for HD DVD and up to 24.5  
Mbps for Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD Master Audio can carry up to 7.1 discrete channels of

the optical disc players and AV receivers/amplifiers of the future, DTS-HD Master  
Audio also remains fully compatible with the existing multichannel audio systems that  
incorporate DTS Digital Surround.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing  
Dolby Surround sources. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback  
with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right  
channels instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic technology.  
There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music sources, “Movie mode” for  
movie sources and “Game mode” for game sources.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
WMA  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an high resolution audio technology developed for  
high-definition disc-based media including HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Selected as an  
optional audio standard for both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, this technology delivers  
sound that is virtually indistinguishable from the original, offering a high-definition  
home theater experience. Supporting bitrates up to 3.0 Mbps for HD DVD and 6.0  
Mbps for Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio can carry up to 7.1 discrete  
channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously. Supported by HDMI version 1.3 and  
designed for the optical disc players and AV receivers/amplifiers of the future, DTS-HD  
High Resolution Audio also remains fully compatible with the existing multichannel  
audio systems that incorporate DTS Digital Surround.  
An audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation. It employs the  
irreversible compression method, which achieves a high compression rate by thinning  
out the data of hardly audible part to the human ears. It is said to be capable of  
compressing the data quantity by about 1/22 (64 kbps) while maintaining a similar  
audio quality to music CD.  
xvYCC  
A color space standard supported by HDMI version 1.3. It is a more extensive color  
space than sRGB, and allows the expression of colors that could not be expressed  
before. While remaining compatible with the color gamut of sRGB standards, xvYCC  
expands the color space and can thus produce more vivid, natural images. It is  
particularly effective for still pictures and computer graphics.  
HDMI  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported,  
uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. Providing an interface between any  
source (such as a set-top box or AV receiver) and an audio/video monitor (such as a  
digital television), HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well  
as multi-channel digital audio using a single cable. HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV  
standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to  
accommodate future enhancements and requirements.  
When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),  
HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of  
content providers and system operators. For further information on HDMI, visit the  
HDMI website at “http://www.hdmi.org/”.  
LFE 0.1 channel  
This channel reproduces low-frequency signals. The frequency range of this channel is  
from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low-  
frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in  
Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.  
MP3  
One of the audio compression methods used by MPEG. It employs the irreversible  
compression method, which achieves a high compression rate by thinning out the data  
of hardly audible part to the human ears. It is said to be capable of compressing the data  
quantity by about 1/11 (128 kbps) while maintaining a similar audio quality to music  
CD.  
MPEG-4 AAC  
An MPEG-4 audio standard. As it allows compression of data at a bit rate lower than  
that of MPEG-2 AAC, it is used among others for mobile telephones, portable audio  
players and other low-capacity devices requiring high sound quality.  
In addition to the above types of devices, MPEG-4 AAC is also used to distribute  
contents on the Internet, and as such is supported by computers, media servers and  
many other devices.  
Neo:6  
Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6- channel playback by the  
specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range channels with higher  
separation just like digital discrete signal playback. There are two modes available:  
“Music mode” for music sources and “Cinema mode” for movie sources.  
PCM (Linear PCM)  
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized,  
recorded and transmitted without using any compression. This is used as a method of  
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a technique for sampling the  
size of the analog signal per very small unit of time. Standing for “Pulse Code  
Modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and then modulated for recording.  
Sampling frequency and number of quantized  
bits  
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the signal is sampled per  
second is called the sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when converting  
the sound level into a numeric value is called the number of quantized bits. The range  
of rates that can be played back is determined based on the sampling rate, while the  
dynamic range representing the sound level difference is determined by the number of  
quantized bits. In principle, the higher the sampling frequency, the wider the range of  
frequencies that can be played back, and the higher the number of quantized bits, the  
more finely the sound level can be reproduced.  
S-video signal  
With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally transmitted using a pin cable  
is separated and transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the  
chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the S VIDEO jack eliminates video  
signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful  
images.  
WAV  
Windows standard audio file format, which defines the method of recording the digital  
data obtained by converting audio signals. It does not specify the compression (coding)  
method so a desired compression method can be used with it. By default, it is  
compatible with the PCM method (no compression) and some compression methods  
including the ADPCM method.

THX Cinema mode  
In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is designed around the industry-standard reference  
mixing level as well as adding other proprietary THX technologies such as Adaptive  
Decorrelation, Re-EQ, and Timbre Matching to recreate the theatrical experience at  
home.  
THX information  
THX Music mode  
THX Music modes provide the appropriate THX processing to enhance music  
listening. THX Music applies a dedicated music profile of THX Loudness Plus,  
designed around the varying mix levels in music sources which are often very different  
than film or television sources. Additionally, THX Music applies Timbre Matching to  
the surround speaker channels.  
THX Games mode  
THX Games mode gives the benefit of THX Loudness Plus, as well as other THX  
proprietary features which provide the gamer with a more accurate listening experience  
at lower levels, while maintaining all of the directional cues critical to gameplay.  
THX Surround EX  
Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX  
Ltd.  
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital  
Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added  
during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds  
behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front  
right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel  
provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more  
depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.  
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when  
released into the home consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the  
packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby  
web site at www.dolby.com.  
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the  
THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.  
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode during the playback of  
5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the  
information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and  
may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes  
of the individual listener.  
THX Ultra2 Cinema mode  
THX Ultra2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers giving you the best  
possible movie watching experience. In this mode, ASA processing blends the side  
surround speakers and back surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient  
and directional surround sounds. This mode permits the playback of a non Surround  
EX/ES encoded 5.1 movie to be played back over a 7.1 system. DTS-ES (Matrix and  
6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be  
automatically detected, if the appropriate flag has been encoded. Some Dolby Digital  
Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital flag that allows automatic switching.  
If you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can  
manually select the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise THX Ultra2 Cinema  
mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay.  
THX Ultra2 Music mode  
For the playback of multi-channel music the THX Ultra2 Music mode should be  
selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all  
5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS, Dolby Digital and DVD-Audio to provide a  
wide stable rear soundstage.  
THX Ultra2 Games mode  
For the playback of stereo and multi-channel game audio the THX Ultra2 Games mode  
should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround  
channels of all 5.1 and 2.0 encoded game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and  
Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game audio surround information, providing a  
full 360 degree playback environment. THX Ultra2 Games mode is unique as it gives  
you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the surround field.  
THX Ultra2  
Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra2 certified, it must incorporate  
all the features above and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests.  
Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra logo, which is your guarantee that the  
Home Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years  
to come. THX Ultra2 requirements cover every aspect of the product including pre-  
amplifier performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the  
digital and analog domain.  
THX Loudness Plus  
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2  
Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™ Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home  
theater audiences can now experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume  
level. A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain sound  
elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness Plus  
compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by  
intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. This  
enables users to experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume  
setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX  
listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are  
tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.  
THX Cinema processing  
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-  
renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’  
personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theatres  
and in your home theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie  
soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed  
to be played back in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions. This same  
soundtrack is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not  
changed for playback in a small home theatre environment. THX engineers developed  
patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre  
environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this  
product, when “THX” appears in the front panel display, THX features are  
automatically added in Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).

Glossary  
Re-Equalization  
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when  
played back over audio equipment in the home because film soundtracks were designed  
to be played back in large movie theatres using very different professional equipment.  
Re-Equalization restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a  
small home environment.  
Sound field program information  
Elements of a sound field  
What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections  
from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound live, these reflections  
enable us to tell where the player is situated as well as the size and shape of the room in  
which we are sitting.  
Adaptive Decorrelation  
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping  
surround sound experience, but in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers.  
This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and  
envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you  
move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes  
one surround channel’s time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround  
channel. This expands the listening position and creates – with only two speakers – the  
same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre.  
There are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound  
field in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s  
instrument.  
Early reflections  
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms to 100 ms after the direct  
sound), after reflecting from one surface only (for example, from a wall or the ceiling).  
Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.  
Timbre Matching  
Reverberations  
The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the direction from  
which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of surround speakers so  
that the surround information is all around you. In a home theatre, you use only two  
speakers located to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the  
information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the tonal  
characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless  
panning between the front and surround speakers.  
These are caused by reflections from more than one surface (for example, from the  
walls, and the ceiling) so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic  
afterglow. They are non-directional and lessen the clarity of the direct sound.  
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberations taken together help us to  
determine the subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this information that the  
digital sound field processor reproduces in order to create sound fields.  
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in  
your listening room, you would be able to create your own listening environment. The  
acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a dance floor, or a  
room with virtually any size at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly  
what Yamaha has done with the digital sound field processor.  
BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation)  
If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic reasons) results in the  
most of the listeners being close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level can be  
sufficiently reinforced by the boundary that the overall sound quality becomes  
“boomy”. THX Ultra2 receivers and controllers contain the BGC (Boundary Gain  
Compensation) feature to provide an improved bass balance. “Bndry Gain Comp” can  
be selected by setting “THX Ultra2 SWFR” to “Yes” in “THX Set” of “Manual Setup”.  
CINEMA DSP  
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie  
theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having many speakers designed for acoustic  
effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers,  
and so on, can differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in the sound  
heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, Yamaha CINEMA DSP provides  
the audiovisual experience of a movie theater in the listening room of your own home  
by using the Yamaha original sound field technology combined with various digital  
audio systems.  
ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)  
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed to 2 side and 2  
back surround speakers to provide the optimal surround sound experience. When you  
set up your home theater system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right,  
Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and  
Subwoofer), be sure to go to the “THX Set” screen and choose the setting that most  
closely corresponds to the speaker spacing, which will re-optimize the surround sound-  
field.  
CINEMA DSP HD³  
The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the  
sound images. CINEMA DSP HD³ feature achieves the reproduction of the accurate  
height of the sound images so that it creates the accurate and intensive stereoscopic  
sound fields in a listening room.  
ASA is used in three modes; THX Ultra2 Cinema, THX Ultra2 Music and THX Ultra2  
Games.  
Dialogue normalization  
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital, which is used to  
keep the programs at the same average listening level so the user does not have to  
change the volume control between Dolby Digital programs.  
When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you  
may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read “Dial Norm X dB”  
(X being a numeric value). The display is showing how the program level relates with  
THX calibration level. If you want to play the program at calibrated theatrical levels,  
you may wish to adjust the volume. For example, if you see the following message:  
“Dial Norm + 4 dB” in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level at THX  
calibrated loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. However, unlike a  
movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred  
volume setting for best enjoyment.  
SILENT CINEMA  
Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones.  
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate  
representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed on headphones.  
Virtual CINEMA DSP  
Yamaha has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP  
sound field surround effects even without any surround speakers by using virtual  
surround speakers. It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal  
two-speaker system that does not include a center speaker.  
Compressed Music Enhancer  
The Compressed Music Enhancer feature of this unit enhances your listening  
experience by regenerating the missing harmonics in a compression artifact. As a result,  
flattened complexity due to the loss of high-frequency fidelity as well as lack of bass  
due to the loss of low-frequency bass is compensated, providing improved performance  
of the overall sound system.

Parametric equalizer information  
Parametric equalizer information  
This unit employs Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer  
(YPAO) technology, together with the Parametric EQ settings (see  
page 87), to optimize the frequency characteristics of its parametric  
equalizer to match your listening environment. YPAO uses a  
combination of the following three parameters (Frequency, Gain  
and Q factor) to provide highly precise adjustment of the frequency  
characteristics.  
YPAO adjusts frequency characteristics to suit your listening  
requirements using a combination of the above three parameters  
(Frequency, Gain and Q factor) for each equalizer band in this unit’s  
parametric equalizer. This unit has 7 equalizer bands for each  
channel.  
The use of multiple equalizer bands enables more precise  
adjustments of frequency characteristics (as in Figure 2). This is not  
possible using only a single equalizer band (as in Figure 1).  
Frequency  
This parameter is adjustable in one-third octave increments between  
32 Hz and 16 kHz.

Standing wave  
A wave generated when two waves of the same length, frequency  
and speed but traveling in opposite directions overlap. Standing  
waves appear to be stationary and simply oscillating in a fixed  
position without progressing.  
Under certain conditions, the sound leaving a speaker and the sound  
reflecting off a wall, etc., in a room resonate. When this happens, it  
has a major effect on the frequency response in the room, and  
depending on the listening position sounds of specific frequencies  
may sound loud or inversely may be hard to hear. As a result, this  
hampers accurate reproduction of the sound source.  
This unit is equipped with a parametric equalizer to reduce the  
effect of standing waves. The equalizer’s settings can be optimized  
through automatic measurements. Even more accurate settings can  
be made by taking measurements at other positions.  
Q factor  
The width of the specified frequency band is referred to as the Q

Specifications  
Compatibility with Deep Color and xvYCC video signals  
This unit accepts 30 or 36 bit Deep Color video signals. Set “HDMI  
Resolution” to “Through” or “HDMI Processing” to “Off” (see  
page 90) to output the Deep Color and xvYCC video signals from  
the HDMI OUT jacks without any processing (see page 90). If you  
set “HDMI Processing” to “On”and “HDMI Resolution” to other  
than “Through”, this unit converts the Deep Color and xvYCC  
video signals to the video signals with normal color depth and color  
space. If the video monitor is not compatible with the Deep Color or  
xvYCC video signals, the video source may not play back correctly.
