Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar

to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie

theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder,

you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby

Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro

Logic employs a four-channel-five-speaker system. The Pro

Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four

levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel

(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels

(used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient

noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even

less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from

the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo

imaging.

Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-

recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable

broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby

Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder

decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound

effects.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance

control. This always assures you the best performance

without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear

speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center

speaker. (Refer to the “Speaker configuration” shown below.)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and

surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

CONNECTIONS

Never plug the AC supply lead of this unit into the AC outlet until all connections are

completed.

Connecting speakers

Note on connecting a subwoofer (separate

purchase)

(See figure 6 on page 6.)

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass

frequencies.

Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS

terminals, the center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKERS

terminals and the rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS

terminals.

Connect the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal of this unit to the

INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the

speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the

subwoofer.

Note

With some subwoofer systems, including the Yamaha Active

Servo Processing Subwoofer System, an amplifier is

incorporated into the system.

Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the

rear of this unit.

* The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal outputs low frequencies

from the front and center channels.

(The cut-off frequency of signals output from this terminal is

200 Hz.)

■ How to Connect:

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire

of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the

connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the

speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is

correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these

wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

■ How to connect the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker

system (separate purchase) to this unit

(See figure 7 on page 7.)

Caution

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as

this could damage the amplifier and/or speakers.

If you connect the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system to this

unit, read the following descriptions.

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

NX-E70 (Rear speakers)

● Connect the push-type input terminals on the rear of the

speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals of this unit

with the provided speaker cables.

● One side of the speaker cable has a white line and the

other side has no line. Connect the (+) terminals on both

this unit and the speakers using the side with a white line.

Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the

side with no line.

● Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of

this unit, and another speaker to the right (marked R)

terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If

one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound

will be unnatural and lack bass.

USING SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR

The Sound Field Processor built into this unit presents you with the ambience of an actual concert hall etc. by adding effects as

sonic reflections or reberverations that create the sound environment of a hall etc. This unit provides preset sound field programs

shown below. You can enjoy an excellent audio sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.

This unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video

sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field

program.

PRO LOGIC HALL ARENA DISCO

3 STEREO STADIUM MONO MOVIE

Brief Overview of Sound Field Programs

PROGRAM

FEATURE

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.

Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the

dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater.

PRO LOGIC

This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for

sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this

program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the

dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output

from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear

speakers.

3 STEREO

In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the front speakers, creating an expansive

large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.

HALL

ARENA

DISCO

This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many

reflections of high frequencies.

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. The

sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.

This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily

spacious feel of a large stadium.

STADIUM

This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly

mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair,

lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono

movies, news broadcasts and dialog.
