PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field

Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on.

In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.

Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.

Digital Sound Field Processing

What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing: the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert.

What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately recreate one of several actual live performance environments, all in your own home.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective front and rear channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the

“passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in less sophisticated home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so that there are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system increases sound stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels compared to conventional analog Dolby signal processing.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This circuit always presents you the best surround conditions without performing manual adjustments.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP

You can also enjoy a combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP in the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC

ENHANCED”.

It recreates the surround effect of a movie theater, effectively duplicating its multiple surround loudspeaker system, completely surrounding the listener with the sounds of the action taking place on the screen.

SPEAKER SETUP FOR THIS UNIT

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker. Refer to the “4-Speaker

Configuration” shown below.)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be the speakers of your present stereo speaker system. The rear speakers are used for the effect sound. And the center speaker is used for the center sound

(dialog etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal in power to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

5-Speaker Configuration

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 digital sound field program DOLBY

PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 13.)

Front L Center Front R

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY

PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the

5-speaker configuration.

Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 13.)

Front L Front R

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor, which allows you to expand and shape the audio sound field from both the audio and video sources, for a theater-like experience in the listening/viewing room.

This digital sound field processor has 8 programs; 6 programs for digital sound field processing and 2 programs for the Dolby Pro

Logic Surround sound system (DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED). You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting the suitable program and adding desired adjustments. In addition, when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or

DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED program is selected, the built-in automatic input balance control functions. This presents you the best surround condition without manual adjustment.

Description of Each Sound Field Program

The following list gives brief descriptions 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 them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

Note

The channel level balance between the left rear effect speaker and the right rear effect speaker may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

PROGRAM

PRO LOGIC

PRO LOGIC

ENHANCED

CONCERT VIDEO

FEATURE

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

The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, compared to the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated.

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

Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of a 35 mm film theater, thus widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence.

This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, the orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall.

MONO MOVIE

STADIUM

DISCO

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.

This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily spacious feel of a large stadium.

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.

ROCK CONCERT This program is suitable for rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically.

CONCERT HALL

In this program, the center seems deep behind the front speaker pair, creating an expansive, large hall ambience.

Description of Dolby Pro Logic Surround

DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND: This unit employs the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. This system is similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in movie theaters.

By employing a four-channel system, the Dolby Pro Logic

Surround system divides the input signals into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize dialog), and the rear surround-sound channels (to characterize sound effects, background noise and other ambient noise).

Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home video system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system in this unit decodes the signal and feeds the surround-sound effects.

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby Surround.

The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect.

When CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, STADIUM,

DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL is selected, no sound is heard from the center speaker.

When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY

PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, no sound is heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker.

However, if the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the front speakers output the sound of the center channel.

When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is used, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE controls, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect.
