INTRODUCTION

What’s DSP?

Introduction

Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment.

This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV

amplifier available. Some of the more advanced features may

not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art

technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater

Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have

probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature

films in theaters around the world.

To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this

unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening

environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound

field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an

outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take

some time now to read more about these features and enjoy

the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.

Digital Sound Field Processing

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30

years have enhanced the listening experience with improved

clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been

missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public

venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched

the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects

inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters

and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of

those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they

collected is used to recreate these environments in digital

sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created

using data measured directly at the original venue; others are

created from combinations of data to form unique

Of course, that only solves half of the problem. These

engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your

listening room, so we’ve made it possible for you to adjust the

various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to

your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any

source and in combination with any of the following surround

sound technologies. Some are designed especially for music,

and some especially for movies.

environments for specific purposes.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Dolby Pro Logic Surround has been used in movie theaters

since the mid-seventies. It has also been available in home

entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to

be a popular format for home theater systems. It 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 Pro Logic

Surround encoding as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The

Dolby Pro Logic Surround 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.

INTRODUCTION

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound system

developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate

audio coding.

Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, and

moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2

channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2

channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby

Digital in the market.

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 “subwoofer channel” or “LFE

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

the term 5.1 channels in total.

Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit

from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be

applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of

Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide

an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

Corporation. “DOLBY”, “AC-3”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D

Corporation.

Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system

(left front, center, right front and just one surround channel),

Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or

split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the

three front channels.

By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience

the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo Digital theater

sound in your home.

Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full range

channels and precise sound orientation by the digital sound

processing presents listeners much excitement and realism

that has never been experienced before.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to

replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete

channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is installed in many

theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system

changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six

discrete channels of superb digital audio.

By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can

experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS

installed theater’s high quality sound in your home.

Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD are home audio format

within which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channel

audio. (In addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting new

multi-channel music recordings will also become available in

the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

The DTS technology, through intense research and

development, made it possible to deliver a similar

encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-

sound entertainment.

The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which

delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically

5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and

two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as

“0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that

are currently available for home theater systems

Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

US Pat. No. 5,451,942 and other world-wide patents issued

The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the

six channels of 20-bit audio onto some laserdiscs, compact

discs and DVDs with considerably less data-compression.

INTRODUCTION

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP

The Dolby Surround sound and DTS 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 DTS Digital Surround

sounds.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs

that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP

technology and Dolby Surround or DTS.

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields

Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and

the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-

decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide

acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the

room, letting you feel much presence as if you were

watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and

the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby

Digital-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound field

respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and

much surround effect in the room without losing high

channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby

Digital or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you

feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby

Stereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This is the

most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the digital sound field

program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of No.

12 is selected, and the input signal of the source is analog,

PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channels.

This combination is available when the digital sound field

program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS

DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the

input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital

(except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS.

PREPARATION

Speaker setup

Ⅵ Setting up your speaker system

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field

quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of

main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs

of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center

speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a

seven-speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one

pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide

impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a

good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to

the full seven-speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker

system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still performed,

but the main speakers are used for both the main channels

and the front effect channels.

If, for some reason, it is not practical to use a center speaker, it

is possible to enjoy the movie without it. Best results, however,

are obtained with the full system.

Use of a subwoofer expands your sound

field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the

addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer

is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any

or all channels, but also for reproducing signals at the

subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a

source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded. You may wish to

choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing

Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

Use of the center dialog speaker is

recommended

When playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or

playing back a source which contains center-channel signals

with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are

output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to

maximize the performance of your Audio/Video home theater

system, it is recommended that you use a center channel

speaker.

Ⅵ Speakers and speaker placement

Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker

pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers),

the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS,

plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a

SUBWOOFER.

The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models

and have enough power handling capacity to accept the

maximum output of your audio system.

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 in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONT

EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS.

Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the ordinary position.

Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the

MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.5–1m behind and

above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.

Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.

They should be nearly 1.8m above the floor.

Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two

MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker

above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically

Ⅵ Recommended speaker system configurations

4 Speaker System

5 Speaker System

Basic system.

Good for Audio/Video sources.

You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding a pair of

rear speakers to a basic stereo speaker system.

By the use of a center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals

etc.) are precisely localized.

1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 5ch. (See page 27.)

1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.)

1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 5ch. (See page 27.)

1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 26.)

6 Speaker System

7 Speaker System

Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources.

This is the recommended speaker system, providing the

best sound effects.

When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound

field programs No. 1 through No. 7, a sound effect matching

that of a 7-speaker system can be obtained. The addition of

front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective

sound field.

The rear speakers and the front effect speakers produces a

360-degree sound field, and the center speaker provides

precise center localization.

You can experience the amazing YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP”

sound fields completely with the 7 speaker system.

1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 7ch. (See page 27.)

1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.)

1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 7ch. (See page 27.)

Ⅵ Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals

If your CD player, MD recorder, LD player, DVD player,

TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical

digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to

this unit’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL, or both terminals.

Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or

COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit

connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals

of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape

deck or VCR connected to only analog audio signal terminals

of this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals

between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 35 for details.)

* However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this

unit’s OPTICAL TAPE/MD IN and OUT terminals, it can

record input sources connected to this unit’s OPTICAL

digital signal input terminals.

Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog

audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are

necessary, especially for an LD player, a DVD player or a CD

player to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to

this unit.

To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an

external unit, remove the cover from each optical terminal, and

then connect them by using a commercially available optical

fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables

might not function correctly.

Notes

●

When you connect an audio/video unit to both of the digital

and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to

both terminals of the same name.

Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals

●

are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from

dust.

In order to make this unit perform successful DTS-decoding,

●

the DTS bitstream must not be altered, manipulated or

corrupted in the process of sending the DTS bitstream from

the DIGITAL OUT terminal of an external unit to a digital

signal input terminal of this unit.

●

All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the

sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

Speaker balance adjustment

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center, rear and front effect speakers using the

built-in test tone generator. After the adjustments, 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 digital sound field processor, the Dolby Digital decoder, the Dolby Pro

Logic Surround decoder and the DTS decoder.

The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote controller.

Note: The cover of the remote controller must be open.

BASS EXTENSION button and the settings of DSP have

no effect on the material being recorded.

Composite video and S video signals pass independently

through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or

dubbing video signals, if your video source unit is connected

to provide only a S video (or only a composite video) signal,

you can record only a S video (or only a composite video)

signal on your VCR.

●

A source that is connected to this unit between optical

digital terminals only cannot be recorded by a tape deck or

VCR other than the tape deck (or MD recorder etc.)

connected to the OPTICAL TAPE/MD OUT terminal of this

unit.

If you play back a video source that uses scramble or

BASIC OPERATION

Using digital sound field processor (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The 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 an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend

on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Digital decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound

reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded

with DTS. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined

operation of YAMAHA DSP and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround or DTS.

This unit has 12 programs for digital sound field processing; 7 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 5

programs for Audio/Video sources. In addition, each program has two subprograms. All programs contain various parameters that

can be adjusted to the listener’s taste.

For details about digital sound field programs, refer to pages 45 to 49.

If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT button. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround

sound effect.

When a monaural sound source is played with the program PRO LOGIC (Normal/Enhanced), a proper effect will not be

obtained. Moreover, sound may become unnatural depending on the settings of the speaker output modes (1A to 1D) in the SET

MENU mode.

●

When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used, if the main-source sound is

considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE control, the relationship between the center and rear channels

may produce an unnatural effect.

When a source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit is selected, the DSP cannot be used

and the EFFECT button also will not function.

Dolby Digital or DTS

Note

If you change the LD (or CD) being played back with DTS

decoded to another disc not encoded with DTS when the red

“dts” indicator is illuminated, playing back the newly selected

disc will output no sound. In this state, the red “dts” indicator

flashes to show that this unit is locked in the DTS-decoding

mode.

To play back the disc normally, change the current DTS-

decoding mode to another mode by pressing an input selector

key on the remote controller or the INPUT MODE button on

the front panel so that the red “dts” indicator turns off.

When you select the program No. 10, 11 or 12, and the input

signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic

Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the

input signal of the source is encoded with Dolby Digital, Dolby

BASIC OPERATION

Brief overview of digital sound field 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. The data for these sound fields were recorded at actual

locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

Note

The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are

listening in. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

FEATURE

Provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining

excessive reverberation.

VIDEO

For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you

feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is

relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of

the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an

opera.

Pop/Rock

Produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that you are in the

midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert.

The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound

field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the

image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded.

TV THEATER

Mono Movie

Variety/Sports

This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.).

Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front

presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The

use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a

pleasant mix of conversations and picture.

Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the

rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall.

With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as

the 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, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly

restrained.

Creating your own sound fields

DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine

apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to

the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are

preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create

the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to

use DSP programs without changing values of parameters,

however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound

fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust

those parameters. Even if the power cord of this unit is

disconnected from the AC outlet, your custom sound fields will

remain in the DSP’s memory for about two weeks. The

following page details how to make your own sound fields.

What is a sound field?

In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, we

need to first understand what a sound field really is.

What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are

the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition

to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell

where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the

room in which we are sitting. We can even tell whether it is

highly reflective with steel and glass surfaces, or more

absorbent with wood panels, carpeting and curtains.

In addition to the “TYPE” parameter which selects the

subprograms within each DSP program (for example, “Europe

Hall A”, and “Europe Hall B” for the program 1, “CONCERT

HALL 1”), each program also has a set of parameters that

allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic

environment to precisely create the effect you want. These

parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors

that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert

hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for

example, affects the length of time between the “early

reflections”—that is, the first few widely spaced reflections you

hear after the direct sound. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter

provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing

between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the

“room” you hear. In addition to room size, the shape of the

room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant

effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for

example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out

quicker, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to

carry on for a longer period of time. The DSP parameters allow

you to control these and many other factors that contribute to

your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially

“redesign” the concert halls, theaters, etc. provided to create

custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your

mood and music.

The elements of a sound field

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming

straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two

distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the

sound field:

(1) Early Reflections.

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly

(50 ms — 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting

from one surface only—for example, from the ceiling or a

wall. These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown

in the diagram on page 56 for any particular environment,

and provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections

actually add clarity to the direct sound.

(2) Reverberations.

These are caused by reflections from more than one

surface—walls, ceiling, the back of the room—so

numerous that they merge together to form a continuous

sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the

clarity of the direct sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation

taken together help us to determine the subjective size and

shape of the room, and it is this information that the DSP

reproduces in order to create sound fields.

Refer to “Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters” on

pages 56 to 58 for a description of what each parameter does,

how it effects the sound, and its control range.

If you could create the appropriate early reflections and

subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would

be able to create your own listening environment. The

acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert

hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability

to create sound fields at will is exactly what Yamaha has done

with the DSP.

ROOM SIZE

P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size)

How it Affects the Sound:

Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger

the value, the larger the simulated room will sound.

Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound

field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between

reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound

source.

What it Does:

Adjusts the timing between the early reflections. Early

reflections are the first group of reflections you hear before

the subsequent, dense reverberation begins.

S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)

Adjusts the apparent space size of the rear surround sound field.

The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field

becomes.

Control Range:

0.1 – 2.0

Standard setting is 1.0.

Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent

volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all

doubled).

INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)

P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)

How it Affects the Sound:

Changes the apparent distance from the source sound.

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection

on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the

later the first reflection begins.

Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective

surface determines the delay between the direct sound and

the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the

sound source within the acoustic environment.

Control Range:

1 – 99 milliseconds

What it Does:

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first

reflection heard by the listener.

S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection

on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value,

the later the first reflection begins.

Control Range:

1 – 99 milliseconds

Control Range:

For a small living room this parameter would be set for a small

value. Large values for a big room. Larger values produce an

echo effect.

LIVENESS

LIVENESS (Presence Liveness)

How it Affects the Sound:

This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls

in the hall.

Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence

sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front

presence sound field becomes.

The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity

(decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent

wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective

surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the

early reflections decay slowly is termed “live”, while a room

with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay

rapidly is termed “dead”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you

adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness”

of the room.

S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)

Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround

sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the rear

surround sound field becomes.

What it Does:

Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay.

Control Range:

●

REV. TIME (Reverberation Time)

How it Affects the Sound:

Control Range:

1.0 – 5.0 seconds.

The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily

on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This

parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the

acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.

The reverb time in a small-to-medium size hall would be

between 1 and 2, and in a large hall it is normally between 2

and 3.

What it Does:

Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense,

subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (1 kHz).

REMOTE CONTROLLER

Using the “learning-capable” keys (Cover is open)

This is a learning remote controller. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to “learn” control

functions from other remote controllers. This unit can be used in place of other remote controllers by learning their functions. It will

be much convenient for you to operate various audio and video components.

Some of the “learning-capable” keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and

other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired.

* See page 68 for the learning method.

* See page 70 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions).

Note

If the memory capacity of the remote controller becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are

not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote controller, up to about 50 functions

can be stored. Therefore, we recommend that only required functions be stored.

Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4)

In the “Learning-capable” keys, the keys numbered 1–4 in the

illustration on the left can have three functions. This is because they

have three memory areas (A, B and C). (One function per area.)

You can store new functions into the area B and C, and use three

functions on a key by switching the memory areas with the A/B/C

switch. (Area A cannot learn a new function.)

Pressing the “PHONO” or “EXT. DEC.” input selector key has no effect on the OPERATION CONTROL keys.

Notes

About the lighting of keys

• If an OPERATION CONTROL key is substituted for a key

which has no function (empty), then a command will not be

carried out.

Depending on your plan, store functions from other remote

controllers into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page

68 for the learning method.)

When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and

only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which

substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or

learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you will

know what keys are available at a glance.

• While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate

another unit by using the remote controller (for example, if

you want to rewind a videotape while listening to a CD), you

should open the cover of the remote controller and use the

A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys.

OPERATION

CONTROL

TUNER

(If you press an input selector key with the cover closed to

change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to

the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently

playing CD source is canceled.)

Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed,

all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the

currently selected input selector key light up.

REMOTE CONTROLLER

Macro operations (Cover is closed)

The Macro feature makes it possible to operate a series of

functions by pressing just one key. For example, when you want

to play a CD, normally you would turn on the equipment, select

the CD input, and press the play key to start playback. Using the

Macro feature you can operate all those functions by simply

pressing the CD macro key. The preset macro keys (the input

selector keys and SYSTEM POWER ON/STANDBY keys with an

orange mark next to them) are preset with macro programs.

If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a

macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You

can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to

page 69 for making a new macro.)

Macros can be used only when the cover is closed and the

MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is

selected, no macro will function even if the cover is closed.)

Setting the MACRO switch

OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the

cover of the remote controller is closed.

QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each

command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals.

TROUBLESHOOTING

When playing back a source encoded with DTS:

What to Do

Problem

Cause

The player must be connected to a digital

audio signal input terminal of this unit besides

analog audio signal terminal connections.

A loud hissing noise is heard when you

play back a source encoded with DTS.

The player which plays back the source is

not connected to a digital audio signal input

terminal of this unit.

Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn

on the DTS decoder built into this unit.

The “ANALOG” input mode is selected on

this unit.

Set the input mode of the currently selected

input source to “DTS”.

A percussive noise is heard when you

begin playing back a source encoded with

DTS.

If the “AUTO” input mode is selected,

depending on some sources, there may be a

case that a noise is heard while this unit is

identifying the format of input signal.

Set the player’s digital volume control at the

maximum, neutral or ineffective position.

No sound is heard when you play back a

source encoded with DTS, even though the

“AUTO” or “DTS” input mode is selected

on this unit.

The DTS decoder built into this unit does not

function because the player has a digital

volume control and it is set at a position

other than “maximum”, “neutral” or

“ineffective”.

No sound is heard when you play back an

MD onto which you have recorded a

source encoded with DTS.

A source encoded with DTS cannot be

recorded onto an MD.

No sound is heard when you play back a

DAT onto which you have recorded a

source encoded with DTS.

Depending on a DAT deck, a source

encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto

a DAT.

Press the INPUT MODE button on the front

panel or the input selector button (for the

currently selected source) on the remote

controller so that “PCM” appears on the

display.

No sound is heard when you play back a

source (CD etc.) even though the currently

selected input mode is “AUTO”.

In the “AUTO” mode, DTS-decoding mode

cannot be changed to the normal (PCM)

digital signal input mode automatically.

Notes

• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back a source must be

connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a

D-to-A converter is used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard.

• If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with DTS, the “dts” indicator goes out from the

display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the standard (PCM) digital signal input mode

to prevent a noise from being output.

• A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a

source encoded with DTS cannot be played back.

The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback).
