FEATURES

Digital Sound Field Processing

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. This unit has a total of 10 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.

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 actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.

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.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

Dolby Digital (AC-3)

The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a totally new sound experiences.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of low bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus 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 channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

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 (AC-3) features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels.

Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie possesses.

Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from

Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-3) will also be applied to DBS, CATV, DVD and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded video software.

SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to maximize system performance.

Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is much different from those of a movie theater.

Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA

DSP technology.

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 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 are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

This combination is available when the sound field program No.

2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2channels.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) + 3 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital (AC-

3)-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

(AC-3) sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater.

This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the sound field program No.

2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (except in 2-channels).

SPEAKER SETUP

Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended 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 two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a sevenspeaker 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.

When playing back a source with the DSP programs No. 1 through No. 4, or when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded with any DSP program used, if the source contains center-channel signals, 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.

If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is possible to enjoy movie viewing 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 the LFE (low frequency effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby

Digital (AC-3) decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended

4 Speaker System 5 Speaker System 6 Speaker System 7 Speaker System

Simplest system.

You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear.

Good for Audio/Video sources.

By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.

(See page 22.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM.

(See page 35.)

FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.

(See page 22.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML or WIDE. (See page 35.)

Good for sound fields from 2channel stereo sources.

When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, a sound effect matching that of a 7speaker system can be obtained. The addition of front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective sound field.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.

(See page 22.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM.

(See page 35.)

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. 5 through No. 10, using both sets of effect speakers (front and rear), reproduces the most effective sound field. When using the sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or when using any program with the

Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the center speaker provides precise center localization.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.

(See page 22.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML or WIDE. (See page 35.)

11

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 and the FRONT EFFECT and

REAR SPEAKERS.

Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.

Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the

MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.

Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.

They should be nearly six feet up from 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 shielded speaker.)

12

If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo

Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CONNECTIONS

Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the white plug for the “L” jacks.

For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA type pin plug cables with the exception described later.

With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color.

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (OPTICAL AND COAXIAL)

JACKS

If your LD (DVD) player, TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output jacks, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal input jacks.

To make a connection between optical digital audio signal jacks, remove the cover from each jack, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to

EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.

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

COAXIAL) jack of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with the same named analog audio signal jacks of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit, and digital signal also will not be output from the

AUDIO SIGNAL ROOM 2 OUT jacks. You can switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 47 for details.)

NOTE: When connecting an audio/video unit to both of the digital and analog jacks of this unit, make sure to connect to both jacks of the same name.

NOTE: Be sure to attach the cover when the OPTICAL jack is not being used, in order to protect the jack from dust.

Notes on connecting with an LD player equipped with an AC-3 RF output

If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC-

3 RF signal output jack to this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase).

First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack of this unit.

This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit.

It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s analog audio signal input jacks regardless of the AC-3 RF signal connection, for playing back an LD source with the Dolby Pro Logic

Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).

If desired, you can also connect the digital signal output jack

(for 2-channel audio signals) of the LD player to this unit. If you will do so, connect it to the COAXIAL digital signal input jack of this unit, and connect the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL digital signal input jack of this unit.

By this connection, if the input mode of the DVD/LD source is in

“AUTO”, you can enjoy listening to sounds decoded with the Dolby

Digital (AC-3) when you play a disc encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) though signals are input to both OPTICAL and COAXIAL digital signal input jacks of this unit simultaneously (because signals input to the OPTICAL jack take priority of signals input to the COAXIAL jack).

See page 47 for details about switching the input mode.

NOTES

●

If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case,

● switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely.

However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.

When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must switch off the power to the RF demodulator.

CONNECTING TO S VIDEO JACKS

If your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. and your monitor are equipped with “S” (high-resolution) video terminals, connect them to this unit’s S VIDEO jacks, and connect this unit’s

S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the “S” video input of your monitor. Otherwise, connect the composite video jacks from your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. to the VIDEO jacks of this unit, and connect this unit’s VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the composite video input of your monitor.

NOTE: If video signals are sent to both S VIDEO input and VIDEO input jacks, the signals will be sent to their respective output jacks independently.

NOTE: If your unit is the General Model, be sure the NTSC/PAL switch has been correctly set to the standard that your video equipment employs. U.S.A. and Canada models have no switch and use the NTSC standard, while other models without a switch use the PAL standard.

26

Notes about the Video superimpose

●

If you watch a video source that is connected to both S VIDEO and VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display

● information are output from only the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack.

When no video signal is input to either S VIDEO or VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from both S VIDEO MONITOR OUT and VIDEO

MONITOR OUT jacks with a color background.

* For the General Model, if the NTSC/PAL switch on the rear panel is set to “PAL”, nothing will be output from either S

VIDEO MONITOR OUT or VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack in this case.

5. Tune to an AM station and then position the loop antenna for best reception. Orient the AM loop antenna so that the best reception is obtained. Try other stations, and find the position that gives the best overall reception.

NOTES

●

The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main

● unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.

The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

Optional outdoor FM antenna

Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.

The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbonshaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of cable.

Notes for FM antenna installation

●

To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far

● from heavy traffic as possible.

Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do

● not bundle or roll up excess cable.

The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

Optional outdoor AM antenna

In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna.

300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the

GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a

75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.

CONNECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS

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, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any other metal part as this could damage this unit and/or speakers.

NOTE: Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

➀

Unscrew the knob.

➁

Insert the bare wire.

[Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.]

➂

Tighten the knob and secure the wire.

NOTE: Banana Plug connections are also possible (except

Singapore model). Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

CONNECTING THE MAIN SPEAKERS TO THIS UNIT

One or two sets of MAIN speakers can be connected to this unit.

If you use two sets of MAIN speakers, connect one set to the

MAIN SPEAKERS A terminals, and connect another set to the B terminals. If you use only one set of MAIN speakers, connect them to either the MAIN SPEAKERS A or B terminals. Make sure that the jumper bars between the PRE OUT and MAIN IN jacks on the rear panel are in place.

It is also possible to use an external power amplifier if more power is desired. In this case, remove the jumper bars and connect the PRE OUT jacks to the INPUT jacks of a stereo power amplifier with a stereo pin cable—making sure to connect the left and right channels correctly. Connect the MAIN speakers to the speaker output terminals of the power amplifier.

Set the SPEAKERS switch A or B (or both A and B) on the front panel corresponding to the main speakers you will use to the

ON position. Set the switch for the main speakers you will not use to the OFF position. Selected main speakers are shown by the lighting of “SPEAKERS A” and/or “SPEAKERS B” on the display panel.

CONNECTING THE FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS,

REAR SPEAKERS AND THE CENTER SPEAKER(S)

TO THIS UNIT

Connect the FRONT effect speakers to the FRONT EFFECT

SPEAKERS terminals of this unit.

If the FRONT effect speakers are not used, the FRONT MIX switch should be set to “ON”.

Connect the REAR speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals of this unit.

Connect the CENTER speaker to the CENTER SPEAKERS terminals. If you will be using one CENTER speaker, connect it to either the C or D terminals and set the CENTER speaker switch so that it is released outward (“C OR D” position). If using two

CENTER speakers, connect them to the C and D terminals, and press the switch inward (“C +D” position). If, however, you will not be using a CENTER speaker, be sure to set the CENTER

SPEAKER mode to “PHNTM” (phantom). (See page 35.)

NOTE: The speaker connections above are fine for most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to use an external power amp for any or all of the front effect, rear and center channels, connect the line level output jack(s) for each channel to the INPUT jacks of the external amp and connect the corresponding speaker pair to the speaker terminals of the external amp.

ADDING A SUBWOOFER

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies.

This unit provides line-level subwoofer outputs. If you use one subwoofer, connect either of the SUBWOOFER jacks to the INPUT jack of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer.

If you wish to obtain more presence in your listening room, the use of two subwoofers is recommended. To connect two subwoofers to this unit, connect one SUBWOOFER jack to the

INPUT jack of the amplifier driving a subwoofer, and the other

SUBWOOFER jack to the INPUT jack of the amplifier driving the other subwoofer, and then connect each subwoofer to the corresponding amplifier.
