CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

1. To assure the finest performance, please read this

manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future

reference.

12. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC

power cord and disconnect the antenna cable when

there is an electrical storm.

2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away

from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive

vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of

humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or

electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or

water.

13. Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be

taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit

is not defeated.

14. AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the

AC outlet on the rear panel if that component

requires more power than the outlet is rated to

provide.

3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the

unit, contact your dealer.

4. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection

wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the

power cord and then the wires connected to other

component. Never pull the wires themselves.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source

as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this

unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby

mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a

very small quantity of power.

5. The openings on the cover assure proper ventilation

of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the

temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly.

Therefore, avoid placing objects against these

openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated area

to prevent fire and damage.

■ For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug

supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an

appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the

instructions described below.

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind,

20 cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel

of the unit to prevent fire and damage.

Note

6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified

on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than

specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other

accidents.YAMAHA will not be held responsible for

any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a

voltage other than that specified.

• The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a

plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live

socket outlet.

■ Special Instructions for U.K. Model

IMPORTANT

7. Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere

with other component such as tuners, receivers and

TVs. Move this unit farther away from such

component if interference is observed.

THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

8. Always set VOLUME to the “m” position before

starting the audio source play. Increase the volume

gradually to an appropriate level after playback has

been started.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this

apparatus may not correspond with the coloured

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed

as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to

the terminal which is marked with the letter N or

coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN

must be connected to the terminal which is marked with

the letter L or coloured RED.

9. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical

solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean,

dry cloth.

10. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section

regarding common operating errors before

concluding that the unit is faulty.

Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth

terminal of the three pin plug.

11. When not planning to use this unit for a long period

of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power

cord from the wall outlet.

PREPARATION

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used

Speaker Placement

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality

with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers

and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers

(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a

moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift

smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the

same manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.

Refer to the following diagram when you place the

speakers.

Main speaker (R)

Rear speaker (R)

Subwoofer

Main

speaker (L)

1.8 m

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.

Center speaker

Rear speaker (L)

■ Main speakers

Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance

from the ideal listening position. The distance of each

speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the

same.

The main speakers should be high-performance models and

have enough power-handling capacity to accept the

maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers

do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise

sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-

performance models that can reproduce sounds over the full

range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.

■ Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing

slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the

floor.

■ Use of a subwoofer expands your

sound field

■ Center speaker

It is also possible to further expand your system with the

addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective

not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all

channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency

effect) channel with high fidelity when playing back a

source encoded with Dolby Digital. The YAMAHAActive

Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and

lively bass reproduction.

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face

of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the

monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the

monitor and centrally between the main speakers.

Note

• If the center speaker is not used, the sound will be heard from the

right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the

SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 35 for

details.)

■ Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low

bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to

place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly

toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

CAUTION

Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If

this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the

monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker

or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically

shielded speakers.

CONNECTIONS

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been

completed.

Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some

components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each

component to be connected to this unit.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect

it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products.

Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.

The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

Yellow

White

Red

video signals (composite)

analog audio signals for the left channel

analog audio signals for the right channel

coaxial digital signals

After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This 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. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this

will, of course, depend on what you are listening to).

When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dobly Pro Logic and Dolby Digital) is turned on

according to which type of signals the source being played contains.

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that

most of these are precise digital re-creations of actual acoustic environments.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS

Radio Data System (RDS) is a data transmission system by

Changing the RDS Mode

FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system

transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the

normal radio signal.

The four modes are available in this unit for displaying RDS

data. When an RDS station is being received, PS, PTY, RT

and/or CT that correspond to the RDS data services offered

by the station light up on the display. Press RDS MODE/

FREQ repeatedly to change the display mode among the

RDS data offered by the transmitting station in the order

shown below. Illumination of the red indicator next to the

RDS mode indicator shows that the corresponding RDS

mode is now selected.

RDS data contains various information such as PI (Program

Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program

Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced

Other Networks), etc. The RDS function is carried out

among the network stations.

Description of RDS Data

Notes

• When an RDS station is being received, do not press RDS

MODE/FREQ until one or more RDS mode indicators light up on

the display. If you press the button before the indicators light up

on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because the

unit has not yet received all of the RDS data on the station.

• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.

• The RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the

received signal is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode

requires a large amount of data to be received, so it is possible

that the RT mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes

(PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.

• RDS data cannot sometimes be receive under poor reception

conditions. If so, press TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO”

indicator goes off from the display. Although the reception mode

is changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the

display to RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.

This unit can receive PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT, and EON data

when receiving RDS broadcasting stations.

■ PS (Program Service name) mode:

The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.

■ PTY (Program Type) mode:

The program type on the RDS station being received is

displayed. There are 15 program types to classify RDS

stations. You can make this unit search for a station which is

broadcasting a program of the desired type. Refer to page 31

for details.

■ RT (Radio Text) mode:

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference during

the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut

off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the display.

Information about the program (such as the title of the song,

name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being received

is displayed by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters,

including the umlaut symbol. If other characters are used for

RT data, they are displayed with under-bars.

Note

–10 dB

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded.

Select this position if the sound output from the main

speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound

output from the center and rear speakers. In this position,

the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum

level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie

originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide

dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the

original sound track into a home audio format with this

wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of

extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for

home use. Depending on the condition of your listening

environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound

output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However,

at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the

low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well

because they will be lost among noise in your environment.

Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to

reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home

audio format by “compressing” the sound data.

Notes

• The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and

“BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the

EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this

unit.

• Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REAR

SP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do not

have to change any settings unless your speaker system is

modified.

6. D.D. LFE (Adjusting the output

level of the LFE channel for Dolby

Digital)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps)

Preset value: 0 dB

MAX

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is

reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic

range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in

a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if

you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room

specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital

contains LFE signals.

STD (Standard)

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is

reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the

source that is suitable for low-level listening.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE

signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they

are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal

level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

MIN

In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in

the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective

when you must listen to a source at a low level.

Note

• It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally

depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD

position.

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 speaker to your listening position.

The input mode for a source connected to the SAT/D-TV

input terminals of this unit can be automatically set when

DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby

Sound Output Level of the Center,

Right Rear and Left Rear Speakers,

and Subwoofer

Pro Logic decoder or Dolby Digital decoder, you can adjust

the delay time between the main sound and sound effect,

and each speaker’s output level as you wish.

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of each

speaker even if it has already been adjusted in

“ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE” on pages 17

and 18.

Delay Time

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of

the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the

sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value,

the later the sound effect is generated. The delay time can be

individually adjusted to all DSP programs.

Notes

• The sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted

when the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded with

Dolby Digital in 2-channel.

• If “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position,

the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted.

This is because the center channel sound is automatically output

from the right and left main speakers.

Notes

• Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some

sources.

• The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay

time.

• Once the sound output level has been adjusted, the level will be

the same for all DSP programs.

GLOSSARY

CINEMA DSP

■ CINEMA DSP

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround 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.

Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround

encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby

Pro Logic 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.

The Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital sound 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.

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

Dolby Digital.

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those

programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA

DSP technology and Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital.

■ Dolby Digital

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 “LFE

channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to

the term 5.1 channels in total.

■ LFE 0.1 Channel

This channel is for reproduction of low bass signals. The

frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This

channel is called the channel 0.1 because it only reproduces

a low frequency range compared to the full-range from

20 Hz to 20 kHz that is reproduced by the 5 channels in a

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel system.

The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five

full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital

sound processing provides listeners with excitement and

realism that have never been experienced before.
