PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT  
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual  
The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified  
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.  
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that  
which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or  
other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not  
be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of  
this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.  
Choose the installation location of this unit carefully. Avoid  
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.  
Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive  
dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of  
hum such as transformers and electric motors.  
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on  
speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken  
to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which  
may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control  
setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.  
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat,  
possibly causing damage.  
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,  
contact your dealer.  
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in  
an extremely humid environment may cause condensation  
inside the cabinet.  
The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of  
the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature  
inside the cabinet will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid  
placing objects against these openings, and install the unit  
in well-ventilated condition. Make sure to allow a space of  
at least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on the both sides and 30 cm  
above the top panel of the unit. Otherwise it may not only  
damage the unit, but also cause fire.  
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.  
To eliminate condensation:  
Pickup  
Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal  
playback is possible (about 1 hour).  
Remote control  
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a  
soft cloth before operating the unit.  
Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before  
starting an audio source play: increase the volume  
gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.  
When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time  
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the  
wall outlet.  
IMPORTANT  
Please record the serial number of this unit in the space  
below.

Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future  
reference.  
Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.  
When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and  
the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the  
wire itself.  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,  
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR  
MOISTURE.

this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.  
Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section  
regarding common operating errors before concluding that  
the unit is faulty.

plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical  
storm.

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.

2 Insert 2 “AA” size batteries (UM/SUM-3, R6, HP-7 or  
equivalent) into the battery compartment.  
Notes concerning use  
*
Installing the batteries improperly may cause failure.  
Replace the batteries if control distance decreases or  
operation becomes unstable.  
3 Replace the battery compartment cover.  
Periodically clean the transmitter window on the remote  
control transmitter and the sensor on the main unit with a  
soft cloth.  
Precautions for battery use  
Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated in  
the battery compartment.  
Replace all batteries with new ones at the same time.  
Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit is not  
in use for long periods.  
Don’t mix normal batteries with rechargeable batteries.  
Exposing the sensor on the main unit to strong light  
(especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.) may  
interfere with operation. In this case, reposition the main  
unit to avoid direct lighting.  
Keep the remote control transmitter away from moisture,  
excessive heat, shock and vibrations.  
The remote control transmitter’s usable range is within  
0.2m (8”) and 6m (20’) away from the sensor.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS  
This unit designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a  
center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4-  
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.).  
Speaker configuration

(1) 5-Speaker Configuration  
Front L  
Center  
Front R  
This configuration is the most effective and recommended  
one. In this configuration, the center speaker is  
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field  
program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO is  
selected, conversations will be output from the center  
speaker and the ambience will be excellent.  
Dialogue  
Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL”  
position. (For details, refer to page 12.)  
Surrounnd sound

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the  
sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the  
center sound is output from the left and the right front  
speakers, although the program DOLBY 3 STEREO is  
useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect  
of other programs can be the same as that of the 5-  
speaker configuration.

CARE OF VIDEO CDS (CDS)  
Discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can  
occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface.  
Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from  
your disc collection and player.  
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-  
label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do  
not mark this surface.  
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and  
excessive moisture.  
Always hold the discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or  
water on the discs can cause noise or mistracking. If a  
disc is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft,  
dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the  
radius.

SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT  
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance  
between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in  
test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the  
sound output level heard at the listening position will be the  
same from each speaker. This is important for the best  
performance of the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.  
The adjustment of each speaker output level should be  
done at your listening position with the remote control  
transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

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.

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 are suited for this sound field.  
HALL  
This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many  
reflections of high frequencies.

Feature  
For a karaoke source KARAOKE L R Signals on the left channel and the right channel are output from the left and right speakers  
(without vocals)  
respectively.  
Selecting this mode is suitable for singing karaoke by using a source which contains  
background music and no vocal.  
For a multisound  
source  
KARAOKE L Only signals on the left channel of the source are output from the left and right speakers.  
When using a karaoke source which contains both background music and original vocals on  
the right channel and background music only on the left channel, selecting this mode is  
suitable for singing karaoke.  
KARAOKE R Only signals on the right channel of the source are output from the left and right speakers.  
When using a karaoke source which contains both background music and original vocals on  
the left channel and background music only on the right channel, selecting this mode is  
suitable for singing karaoke.  
For a normal source  
KARAOKE  
Medium frequencies of the source sound (vocals etc.) are attenuated. Select this mode when  
you sing karaoke using a normal audio source with vocals.  
Note  
There may be a case that vocals cannot only be attenuated effectively according to a source.  
Note  
When using a multisound source for Karaoke use, make sure to select the KARAOKE L or KARAOKE R mode. If the  
KARAOKE mode is selected, depending on a source, sound may become unnatural.
