SPEAKER SETUP  
Speakers  
Speaker placement  
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound-  
field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main left and  
right speakers, rear left and right 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 manufacturer or speakers with the same  
tonal quality.  
Refer to the following diagram when you place the  
speakers.  
Center speaker  
Main speaker (R)  
Rear speaker (R)

The main speakers are used for the main source sound  
plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers  
from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are  
used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is  
for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).  
Rear speaker (L)  
I Main speakers  
Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance  
from the ideal listening position. The distance between  
each speaker and each side of the video monitor should  
also 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 the  
models of equivalent performance with the main  
speakers.  
I Center speaker  
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front  
face of your video 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.  
I Use of a subwoofer expands your  
sound field  
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 Dolby Digital or DTS signals. The  
YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is  
ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.  
I Rear speakers  
Place these speakers behind your listening position,  
facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the  
floor.  
I 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 wall  
reflections.  
Note  
If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center),  
change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the SET MENU  
to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers  
to.  
CAUTION  
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of  
speakers still creates the interference with the monitor,  
place the speakers away from the monitor.

SPEAKER SETUP  
Connecting the speakers  
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), +(red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are  
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound  
will be unnatural and lack bass.  
CAUTION  
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.  
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/  
or the speakers.  
If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers  
in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.  
I Speaker cables  
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables  
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped  
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.

I SUBWOOFER jack  
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System,  
connect the input jack of the subwoofer system to this jack. Low bass signals distributed from the main, center and/or  
rear channels are directed to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections. The LFE (low-frequency  
effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also directed to this jack in accordance with your  
SPEAKER SET selections.  
Notes  
The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.  
If you do not use a subwoofer, designate the signals to the main left and right speakers by changing the setting of SPEAKER SET  
item 1D BASSon the SET MENU to MAIN.  
Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level. It is also possible to adjust the volume level by using this units remote  
control (see ADJUSTING THE LEVEL OF THE EFFECT SPEAKERSon page 45).

digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables.  
You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital  
and DTS bitstreams. To enjoy multi-channel sound track  
of DVD software, etc. with DSP effect, you need to make  
digital connection. All digital input jacks are acceptable  
for 96-kHz sampling digital signals.  
CAUTION  
Do not connect this unit or other components to the  
mains power until all connections between the  
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 jack names. Refer to the  
operation 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 them to the jack with the same  
number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this  
labeling system to all its products.  
Note  
The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard.  
If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this  
standard, this unit may not function properly.  
After you have completed all connections, check them  
again to make sure they are correct.  
The name of jack corresponds to input selector.

It is not necessary to readjust the speaker levels once they are  
set (as long as you do not change the speakers). You can enjoy  
listening to or watching the input source at the desired volume  
simply by adjusting the VOLUME knob (or VOLUME h/g on

If the output level of the effect speakers (center, rear left, and  
rear right) cannot be increased enough to match the level of the  
main speakers, set 1E MAIN Lvon SET MENU to 10 dB  
(see page 42). This setting decreases the main speaker output  
level to about one-third of the normal level. After you have set  
1E MAIN Lvon the SET MENU to 10 dB, adjust the levels

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)  
Understanding sound fields  
A sound field is defined as the characteristic sound reflections of a  
particular space.In concert halls and other music venues, we hear  
early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound  
produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and  
other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives  
each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.  
YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to  
measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music  
venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the  
direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then  
we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this  
unit.  
I Recreating a sound field  
Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your  
listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound  
field. YAMAHAs DSP requires three effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.  
The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the three effect speakers to localize the  
virtual sound sources and fully encompass the listener.  
Hi-Fi DSP programs  
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 recreations of actual acoustic environments.

CINEMA-DSP  
Sound design of CINEMA-DSP  
Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread  
even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with  
the images on the screen.  
CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP  
integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field  
programs to provide a surround sound field. It recreates comprehensive movie sound design in your audio room. In  
CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the Main left and right, and  
Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources,  
and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.  
When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the  
most suitable sound field program for that signal.

(the rear center channel is outputted from virtual rear center speaker). You can select CINEMA-DSP programs to  
optimize these decoders and the DSP sound patterns depending on the input source.

• If a Dolby Digital signal or DTS signal is input when the input mode is set to AUTO, the DSP program will automatically switch to  
the Dolby Digital playback sound field or DTS playback sound field.  
• If Dolby Digital Surround EX software or DTS ES software is played when AUTO is selected by pressing the MATRIX 6.1 button  
on the remote control, the Dolby Digital + Matrix 6.1 or DTS + Matrix 6.1 decoder usually turns on and the corresponding DSP  
program is selected.  
• MATRIX 6.1 on the remote control can be used to play Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel sources with the virtual rear center  
speaker. In this case the program name changes to the corresponding name for 6.1 channel.  
• When playing a 6.1 channel source with MATRIX 6.1 on the remote control turned off, the program name changes to the  
corresponding name for 5.1 channel.  
Notes  
• The “

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

Features  
MOVIE  
Spectacle  
This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It  
precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound  
field incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby  
Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).  
THEATER 1  
Sci-Fi  
This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of  
science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the  
silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes  
Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced  
techniques.

MOVIE  
THEATER 2  
Adventure  
General  
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm  
and multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the  
newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as  
much as possible.  
This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films,  
and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is  
relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the  
echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.  
9
Enhanced Mode  
This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film  
theaters. Dolby Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and digital  
sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound  
orientation.  
The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from  
the back to the left and right, and toward the screen.

TV SPORTS  
With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows,  
music programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is  
oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the  
surround side, while their spread to the rear is properly restrained.  
MONO MOVIE  
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The  
program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth by using only the presence  
sound field.

Presetting stations  
Any stored station data existing under a preset number is  
cleared when you store a new station under that preset number.  
When a station data is stored under a preset number, the  
frequency and reception band are also stored.  
You can manually replace a preset station with another FM or  
AM station by simply following the procedure in the section  
Manually presetting stationson page 36.  
If the number of the received stations does not reach E8,  
automatic preset tuning has automatically stopped after  
searching all stations.  
Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored  
automatically by automatic preset tuning. If the station you  
want to store is weak in signal strength, tune in to it manually  
in the monaural mode, and store it by following the procedure  
in Manually presetting stationson page 36.  
I Automatically presetting stations  
(for FM stations)  
You can use the automatic preset tuning feature to store  
FM stations. This function enables this unit to  
automatically tune in to FM stations with strong signals,  
and to store up to 40 (8 stations x 5 groups) of those  
stations in order. This feature enables you to easily tune in  
to any preset station by selecting the preset station  
number (see page 37).

4 D. RANGE (dynamic range)  
Use this feature to adjust the dynamic range. This setting  
is effective only when this unit is decoding Dolby Digital  
signals.  
Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center channel  
sounds. This feature works when there is sound output  
from the center speaker, with a source like Dolby Digital  
or DTS, etc. Ideally, the center speaker should be the  
same distance from the main listening position as the left  
and right speakers. However, in most home situations, the  
center speaker is placed in line with the main speakers.  
By delaying the sound from the center speaker, the  
apparent distance from the center speaker to the main  
listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the  
same as the distance between the main left and right  
speaker to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time  
for the center speaker is especially important for giving  
depth to the dialogue.

GLOSSARY  
I Dolby Surround  
I DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system  
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 main  
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for  
dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound  
effects (monaural). The rear channel reproduces sound  
within a narrow frequency range.  
Digital Surround  
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog  
soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound  
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie  
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems 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, a left, right and center channels, 2 rear  
channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a  
total of 5.1 channels).  
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.  
I Dolby Digital  
I LFE 0.1 channel  
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that  
gives you completely independent multi-channel audio.  
With 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 rear  
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 rear 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 previously unheard of  
excitement and realism.  
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.  
The frequency range for this channel is 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 channels in a Dolby Digital or  
DTS 5.1 channel systems.  
I CINEMA DSP  
D I G I T A L  
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 and  
designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions,  
such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and  
so on, can differ so widely, its inevitable that there are  
differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth  
of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses  
YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine  
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to  
provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater  
in the listening room of your own home.  
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up  
to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for  
your enjoyment.  
I Matrix 6.1  
The unit incorporates Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby  
Digital and DTS multi-channel software that enables 6.1-  
channel reproduction by adding the rear center channel to  
existing 5.1-channel format. (The rear center channel is  
created from rear left and right channels, and outputted  
from virtual rear center speaker.) With this additional  
channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic  
moving sound especially with scenes with fly-over and  
fly-around effects.  
I 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 using headphones.  
I Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Pro Logic is an improved technique used to  
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround  
softwares. This new technology enables a discrete 5-  
channel playback with 2 main left and right channels, 1  
center channel, and 2 rear left and right channels (instead  
of only 1 rear channel for conventional Pro Logic  
technology). A music mode is also available for 2-channel  
sources in addition to the movie mode.

GLOSSARY  
I Virtual CINEMA DSP  
YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP  
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field  
surround effects even without any rear speakers by using  
virtual rear speakers.  
It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP using a  
minimal 2-speaker system that does not include a center  
speaker.  
I 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.  
I 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.
