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 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 sources encoded with Dolby Surround 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.

Furthermore, 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

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 minimizes 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.

Corporation. “Dolby”, the double-D symbol and “Pro Logic” are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + 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 combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP is used on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC ENHANCED”.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these programs are created by the combination of Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA

DSP technology.

SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker

Configuration” shown below.)

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. 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 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 21.)

Center

4-Speaker Configuration

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

ENHANCED is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right main 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 21.)

Rear L Rear R Rear L Rear R

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: main speakers (your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.

Center

TV set

Main: In normal position. (The position of your present stereo speaker system.)

Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.

Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.

Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

●

●

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram.

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

* 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.

Orient so that the best reception is obtained.

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.

Notes

●

When connecting the indoor

FM antenna, insert its

● connector into the FM ANT terminal firmly.

If you need an outdoor

FM antenna to improve

FM reception quality, either

300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

If, however, the power is cut for more than one week, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be re-programmed by simply following the PRESET

TUNING steps.

AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNING

You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function for FM stations only. By this function, this unit performs automatic tuning and stores FM stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on page 27.

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 Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with

Dolby Surround. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined operation of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround.

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

PROGRAM

PRO LOGIC

FEATURE

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

The application of a sophisticated digital signal processing system reduces crosstalk and directs or steers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, as compared to conventional types.

PRO LOGIC

ENHANCED

This program is also used 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 movie theater. This effect creates a wide surround sound field, and expands the sound stage with an improved presence image. This program is used for musical based movies, as well as drama and comedy based movies.

CONCERT VIDEO

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

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.

DISCO

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 ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively sound field.

CONCERT HALL

In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an expansive large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.

Notes

●

Program selection can be made to individual input sources.

Once you select a program, it is linked with the input source selected at that time. So, when you select the input source

● next time, the same program is automatically called.

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 CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, DISCO,

STADIUM, 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 main speakers and the rear speakers.

Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the main

●

● speakers output the sound of the center channel.

When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround 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.

To select a DSP program on the remote control transmitter, first turn the DSP on so that a program name lights up on the display by pressing the EFFECT key. Next, select a desired DSP program by pressing the or side of

PROGRAM key.
