CONNECTIONS  
I Connecting to digital jacks  
Before connecting components  
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of  
digital signals through either a coaxial or fiber optic  
cable. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby  
Digital and DTS bitstreams. Use digital connections if  
you wish to enjoy the multi-channel sound track of DVD  
material, etc. with DSP effects. Both 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.  
Note  
• 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 you wish to  
connect to this unit.  
The OPTICAL jack 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 jack names correspond to the names on the input  
selector.

terminal to a good earth ground. A good  
earth ground is a metal stake driven into  
moist earth.  
Notes  
The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit.  
The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an  
outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.  
A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer  
reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor

I Speaker placement  
Refer to the following diagram when you place the  
speakers.  
Connecting the speakers  
I Speakers  
Main speaker (R)  
Rear speaker (R)  
Center speaker  
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.  
Subwoofer  
Main  
speaker (L)  
1.8 m (6 feet)  
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)  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Rear speakers  
Place these speakers behind your listening position,  
facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 feet) above the  
floor.  
Subwoofer  
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because  
low bass sounds are not highly directional. However, 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 “SOUND 1 SPEAKER SET” items at  
the set menu to direct signals to other terminals you have  
connected speakers to.  
CAUTION  
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers  
still create interference with the monitor, place the  
speakers away from the monitor.

CONNECTIONS  
I Connections  
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) in accordance with the markers on  
this unit, the speakers, and the speaker cables. 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.  
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.

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. This unit will direct low bass signals distributed from the  
main, center and/or rear channels 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, allocate the signals to the main left and right speakers by changing the setting of “SOUND 1  
SPEAKER SET” item “1D BASS” on the set menu to MAIN.  
Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level. You can also adjust the volume level by using this unit’s remote control  
(see “SETTING THE SPEAKER LEVELS” on page 45).

Input modes and indications  
The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96 kHz  
sampling digital signals. Note the following when a  
digital signal with a sampling frequency greater than 48  
kHz is input to this unit:  
This unit is equipped with 2 types of input jacks for the  
CD and DVD sources only. You can select the type of  
input signals you wish to use.  
You cannot use any DSP programs.  
• The unit will output sound as 2-channel stereo from the  
main left and right speakers only. Therefore, you  
cannot adjust the level of the effect speakers while  
listening to such a source.  
Each time you turn on the unit power, the input mode is  
set to the “INPUT 2 INPUT MODE” setting defined in  
the set menu.  
Press INPUT MODE repeatedly until the  
desired input mode is shown on the front  
panel display.  
I Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs  
• If the digital output data of the player has been  
processed in any way, the unit may not be able to  
perform DTS decoding even if there is a digital  
connection between this unit and the player.  
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set  
the input mode to ANALOG, the unit may reproduce  
the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case,  
connect the source to a digital input jack on this unit  
and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.

encoded with DTS are selected, even if the  
unit is receiving another signal  
simultaneously.  
ANALOG: In this mode, only analog input signals are  
selected, even the unit is receiving digital  
signals at the same time.  
Notes  
When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines  
the type of signal. If it detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal,  
the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting.  
When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on  
some LD or DVD players, there is a delay in sound output for  
a moment when playback resumes after a search, because the  
unit must select the digital signal again.  
When playing a LD source that has not been digitally  
recorded, the unit may not output any sound for some LD  
players. In this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.

I Virtual CINEMA DSP  
Notes  
With Virtual CINEMA DSP, you can enjoy all DSP  
programs without rear speakers. It creates virtual speakers  
to reproduce a natural sound field.  
If you turn off the sound effects, no sound is output from the  
center speaker or rear speakers.  
You can listen to virtual CINEMA DSP by setting “1C  
REAR LR” in the set menu to NON. Sound field  
processing changes to VIRTUAL CINEMA DSP  
automatically.  
If you turn off the sound effects while the unit is reproducing  
sound from a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the dynamic range  
of the signal is automatically compressed and the unit will mix  
the sounds of the center and rear speaker channels and output  
them from the main speakers.  
The volume may be greatly reduced when you turn off the  
sound effects or if you set “SOUND 4 D. RANGE (dynamic  
range)” on the set menu to MIN. In this case turn on the sound  
effect.  
Note  
This unit is not set in the virtual CINEMA DSP mode even if  
“1C REAR LR” is set to NON in the following cases:

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. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four 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 four 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.

JAZZ CLUB  
This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz club, that  
seats up to 300 people. Its wide left to right seating arrangement offers a real and vibrant sound.  
ROCK CONCERT  
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was recorded at LA’s  
“hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left of the hall.  
ENTERTAINMENT/

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city. The  
sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate”  
sound.

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.

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.

Straight Decode  
Enhanced Mode  
The built-in decoder reproduces source sounds and sound-effects precisely.  
No DSP effect is applied in this program.  
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 orienta-  
tion.  
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.  
Straight Decode  
This unit is equipped with various precise decoders;  
• Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound  
• Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic II decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources  
Select any of the Straight Decode modes in Program 9 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced”) to use any of these  
decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied and  
the DSP indicator turns off.  
Note  
When playing a monaural source with a CINEMA DSP program, the source signal is directed to the center channel, and the main  
and rear speakers output effect sounds.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS  
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system used by FM stations in many countries.  
RDS data contains a variety of information such as PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text),  
CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), and others.  
Description of RDS data  
Changing the RDS mode  
This unit can receive, PS, PTY, RT, CT, and EON data  
when tuned to stations broadcasting RDS.  
This unit provides four modes for displaying RDS data.  
The PS, PTY, RT and/or CT mode indicators that  
correspond to the RDS data services offered by the station  
light up on the front panel display when an RDS station is  
being received. Press RDS MODE/FREQ repeatedly to  
cycle the display through the RDS data offered by the  
transmitting station in the order shown below.  
I PS (Program Service name) mode:  
The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.  
I PTY (Program Type) mode:  
There are 15 program types used to classify RDS stations.

Notes  
Do not press RDS MODE/FREQ when an RDS station is  
being received until one or more RDS mode indicators light  
up on the front panel display. You cannot change the mode if  
you press this button prior to this. This is because this unit has  
not finished receiving all of the RDS data on the station.  
RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.  
This unit cannot utilize the RDS data service if the signal  
received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode  
requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the RT  
mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS,  
PTY, etc.) are displayed.  
Sometimes, RDS data cannot be received in poor reception  
conditions. If this is the case, press TUNING MODE so that  
the “AUTO” indicator disappears from the front panel display.  
Although this will change the reception mode to monoaural,  
RDS data may be displayed when you change the display to  
RDS mode.

I RT (Radio Text) mode:  
Information about the program (such as the title of the  
song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being  
received is displayed using a maximum of 64  
alphanumeric characters, including the umlaut symbol.  
Any other characters used in RT data are displayed with  
under-bars.  
I CT (Clock Time) mode:  
The current time is displayed and updated every minute.  
“CT WAIT” may appear if the data is accidentally cut off.  
If the signal strength is weakened by external interference  
during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service  
may cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the front  
panel display.

GLOSSARY  
I Dolby Surround  
I DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital  
Surround  
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.  
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  
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.  
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).  
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  
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, it’s 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 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.  
I Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to  
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround  
software. 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.  
It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP using a  
minimal 2-speaker system that does not include a center  
speaker.

GLOSSARY  
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.

when there is an electric storm.  
Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may fall onto  
them and/or where they may be exposed to liquid dripping or  
splashing.  
Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may cause a  
turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a case, move this  
unit away from the turntable.  
Do not place the following objects on top of the speakers:  
This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously  
outputted at high volume level. For example, if 20 Hz50 Hz sine  
waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments,  
etc. are continuously outputted, or when the stylus of a turntable  
touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent  
this unit from being damaged.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS  
Before making connections, place all speakers in their respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is important  
because it controls the whole sound quality of this system.  
Place the speakers depending on your listening position by following the instructions below.  
Speaker configuration  
Placing speakers  
Main speakers:  
On both sides of and at approximately  
<NS-P100>  
the same height as the TV set.  
This speaker package employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2  
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a  
subwoofer.  
Rear speakers:  
Behind your listening position, facing  
slightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. 6  
feet) from the floor.  
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear  
speakers emit surround sounds, and the center speaker  
emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer emits  
reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.  
Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.  
Rear center speaker (for NS-P106):  
Precisely between the rear speakers.  
<NS-P106>  
Subwoofer:  
The position of the subwoofer is not so  
critical because low bass tones are not  
highly directional.  
This speaker package employs a 7 speaker configuration: 2  
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker, a rear  
center speaker and a subwoofer.  
Refer to Placing the subwooferon  
page 4 for a recommended positioning  
of the subwoofer.  
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear and  
rear center speakers emit surround sounds, and the center  
speaker emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer  
emits reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.

Placing the subwoofer  
It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of  
either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. Å .) The  
placement shown in fig. ı is also possible, however, if the  
subwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, the  
bass effect may die because the sound from it and the  
sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To  
prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system at  
an angle as shown in fig. Å.  
Å
ı
Note  
There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough super-  
bass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in the  
center of the room. This is because standing waveshave  
been developed between two parallel walls and they cancel  
the bass sounds.  
(
: Subwoofer,  
: Main speaker)  
In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It  
also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by  
placing bookshelves etc. along the walls.  
Use the nonskid pads  
Put the provided nonskid pads at the four corners on the  
bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from  
moving by vibrations etc.  
Placing the center speaker  
You can place the speaker on top of the TV if the top is flat,  
on the floor under the TV, or inside the TV rack . Be sure to  
place the speaker in a stable position.  
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the  
speaker from falling, attach the provided fasteners at two  
points on the bottom of the speaker and on the top of the  
TV.  
Screen  
Notes  
Do not place the speaker on top of a TV whose area is  
smaller than the bottom of the speaker. If placed, the  
speaker may fall and cause injury.  
Do not place the speaker on top of a TV if the top is  
inclined.  
Fastener  
Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off  
the seal as this will weaken its adhesive strength.  
Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the fastener  
is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is  
weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet and that  
this may cause the center speaker to fall.  
Peel off  
the seal

Automatic power-switching function  
If the source being played is stopped and the input signal is  
cut off for 7 to 8 minutes, the subwoofer automatically  
switches to the standby mode. (When the subwoofer  
switches to the standby mode by the automatic power-  
switching function, the power indicator lights up in red.)  
When you play a source again, the power of the subwoofer  
turns on automatically by sensing audio signals input to the  
subwoofer.  
This function will operate by sensing a certain level of low  
frequency input signal. Usually set the AUTO STANDBY  
switch to the LOW position. However, if the power is not  
switched on or to the standby mode smoothly, set the switch  
to the HIGH position. In the HIGH position, the power will  
turn on even with a low level of input signal. But please be  
aware that the subwoofer may not switch to the standby  
mode when there is an extremely low input signal.  
* The power might turn on unexpectedly by sensing noise  
from other appliances. If that occurs, set the AUTO  
STANDBY switch to the OFF position and use the  
POWER switch to switch the power between ON and  
OFF manually.  
* This function detects the low-frequency components  
below 200 Hz of the input signals (i.e., the explosion in  
the action movie, the sound of the bass guitar or the bass  
drum, etc.).  
* The minutes required to switch the subwoofer to the  
standby mode might change by sensing noise from other  
appliances.  
This function is available only when the power of the  
subwoofer is on (by pressing the POWER switch).  
Adjusting the subwoofer before use  
Before using the subwoofer, adjust the subwoofer to obtain the optimum volume balance between the subwoofer and the main  
speakers by following the procedures described below.

Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and  
the main speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the  
volume of your whole sound system by using the  
amplifiers volume control.  
1 Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).  
2 Turn on the power of all the other  
components.  
However, if you change the main speakers (NX-E130)  
to others, you must make this adjustment again.  
For adjusting the VOLUME control, refer to  
Frequency characteristicsbelow.  
3 Press the POWER switch to the ON position.  
* The power indicator on the front panel lights  
up in green.  
4 Play a source containing low-frequency  
components and adjust the amplifiers  
volume control to the desired listening level.  
5 Increase the volume gradually to adjust the  
volume balance between the subwoofer and  
the main speakers.  
Normally, set the control to the level where you  
can obtain a little more bass effect than when  
this unit is not used.

ADVANCEDYAMAHA ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY  
(for SW-P130)  
The theory of Yamaha Active Servo Technology has been  
based upon two major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and  
negative-impedance drive. Active Servo Processing  
speakers reproduce the bass frequencies through an air  
woofer, which is a port or opening in the speakers cabinet.  
This opening is used instead of, and performs the functions  
of, a woofer in a conventionally designed speaker system.  
Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet can,  
according to the Helmholtz resonance theory, be outputted  
from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the size of  
the opening and the volume of the cabinet are in the correct  
proportion to satisfy a certain ratio.  
By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the  
amplifier is able to generate precise, low-amplitude, low-  
frequency waves with superior damping characteristics.  
These waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as  
high-amplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by  
employing the negative-impedance output drive amplifier  
and a speaker cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator,  
reproduce an extremely wide range of frequencies with  
amazing sound quality and less distortion.  
The features described above, then, are combined to be the  
fundamental structure of the conventional Yamaha Active  
Servo Technology.  
In order to accomplish this, moreover, the amplitudes within  
the cabinet must be both precise and of sufficient power  
because these amplitudes must overcome the load”  
presented by the air that exists within the cabinet.  
Our new Active Servo Technology Advanced Yamaha  
Active Servo Technology adopted Advanced Negative  
Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, which allows the  
conventional negative impedance converter to dynamically  
vary in order to select an optimum value for speaker  
impedance variation. With this new ANIC circuits, Advanced  
Yamaha Active Servo Technology can provide more stable  
performance and improved sound pressure compared with  
the conventional Yamaha Active Servo Technology, resulting  
in more natural and dynamic bass reproduction.  
Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the  
employment of a new design in which the amplifier supplies  
special signals. If the electrical resistance of the voice coil  
could be reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit  
would become linear with respect to signal voltage. To  
accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive  
amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is  
used.

Preparation  
Note:  
General Notes on connections  
– If the audio format of the digital output does not  
match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver  
will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at  
all. Make sure to select the appropriate audio  
format at menu screen included on the disc.  
Pressing AUDIO once or more may change not only  
audio languages but also audio formats, and the  
selected format appears for several seconds on the  
status window.  
Never make or change connections with the  
power switched on.  
Depending on the equipment you wish to  
connect, there are various ways you could  
connect this unit. Possible connections are shown  
in the following drawings.  
Please refer to the manuals of other equipment as  
necessary to make the best connections.  
Do not connect this unit via your VCR. The video  
quality could be distorted by the copy protection  
system.  
Analog Connections  
Use audio/video cable supplied with this unit to  
connect AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right) jacks  
of this unit to corresponding input jacks of your  
audio equipment such as Stereo amplifier.  
Do not connect this unit’s audio out jack to the  
phono in jack of your audio system.

Preparation  
S-Video terminal <A>  
Video Connections  
S (separate) video connection achieves a clearer  
picture than composite video connection by  
separating color and luminance when transmitting  
signals. Use commercially available S-video cable.  
Receiver (and TV) with S-video input is required.  
If your AV receiver has video output jacks,  
connect your receiver (and then to your TV) so  
that you can use one TV for several different  
video sources (LD, VCR etc.) by simply switching  
the input source selector of your receiver.  
The player has three types of video output jacks.  
Use one of them in accordance with the input  
jacks of the equipment to be connected.  
Component Video terminal <B>  
Component video connection achieves high  
fidelity in reproducing colors (better performance  
than S-video connection), separating video signal  
into luminance (Y, terminal color-coded as green),  
and color difference (Pb, blue/Pr, red). Use  
commercially available coaxial cables. Receiver  
(and TV) with component input is required.  
Observe the color of each jack when connecting.  
If your receiver does not have component output  
jacks, connecting the player’s component output  
directly to your TV’s component input can  
reproduce better video image.

don’t.
