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.

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”.

RX-V692 only

This combination is used on sound field programs “ PRO

LOGIC ENHANCED”, “70 mm MOVIE THEATER” and “TV

SPORTS”.

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 one of the programs shown below is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

Note

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

Note on main speaker connections:

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either the

SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

Note on a subwoofer connection:

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel when reproducing discrete signals.

Connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer.

With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo

Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer are in the same unit.

Note on center speaker connection:

One or two center speakers can be connected to this unit. If you cannot place the center speaker on or under the TV, it is recommended to use two center speakers and place them on both sides of the TV to orient the center sound at the center position. For connecting two center speakers, follow the method shown below.

How to Connect:

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 the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

Caution

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

OUTPUT

REAR (SURROUND) OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for rear channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

MAIN OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for main channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

* Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals only are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls and BASS EXTENSION switch.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal

This terminal is for connecting with the input terminal of an amplifier for driving a subwoofer.

When the input signals to this unit are in normal 2-channel stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 200 Hz from the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.

Note

Output level of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or MASTER

VOLUME keys on the remote control transmitter.

CENTER OUTPUT terminal

This terminal is for center channel line output. There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal.

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.

If you use external power amplifiers, you may also use their volume controls to achieve proper balance.

In step 10, if the center channel mode is in the

“PHANTOM” position, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the center sound is automatically output from the left and right main speakers.

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

PRO LOGIC

ENHANCED

STADIUM

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.

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.

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.

RX-V692 only

PROGRAM

70 mm

MOVIE THEATER

TV SPORTS

JAZZ CLUB

CHURCH

FEATURE

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

The Yamaha DSP technology is ideally combined with the Dolby Pro Logic to present you incredible listening experience of the 70 mm film movie theater. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest movies. The sound field is made according to the design of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The three dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. You can enjoy watching Sci-Fi, adventure movies, etc. with this program.

This program is furnished with a tight sound field in which the sound will not spread excessively on the front side, but the rear surround side produces a dynamic sound expansion. This program is the most suitable for sports programs encoded with Dolby Surround.

This is a small, cozy jazz club with a low ceiling. The sound is very close and intimate.

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high pointed dome and columns along the sides. This interior produces very long reverberations.

RX-V592 only

PROGRAM

CONCERT VIDEO

MONO MOVIE

FEATURE

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.

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.

LEARNING NEW CONTROL FUNCTIONS (When the lid is open)

This is a learning remote control transmitter. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to “learn” control functions from other remote control transmitters. By learning key-functions from other remote control transmitter, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient.

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 43 for the learning method.

* See page 45 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions).

Note

If the memory capacity of the remote control transmitter 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 control transmitter, up to about 20 functions can be stored. Store new functions to the learnable-capable keys which are useful for you.

In the “Learning-capable” keys, the keys numbered

1

–

4 in the illustration at 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.)

To use these keys:

1.

Before using a key, select the area A, B or C of the key on which the function you want to use is stored by using the A/B/C switch.

2.

Press the key.

)

These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from another remote control transmitter.

For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of your

TV’s power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your VCR’s power switch.

Note

If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the preset function will not be deleted, but disabled. When the learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored. (For information on clearing a learned function, refer to page 45.)

About the marks shown on the remote control transmitter

The marks on the remote control transmitter signify functions of keys, input sources, etc.

Examples)

(tape):

(disc):

Shows tape deck, VCR, etc.

Shows CD player, LD player, etc.

Notes

•

If the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for keys which has no function (empty), no command is carried out.

According to your plan, store functions from other remote control transmitters into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page 43 for the learning method.)

•

While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote control transmitter (for example, if you want to rewind a tape on your VCR while listening to a CD), you should open the lid of the remote control transmitter and use the A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys.

(If you press an input selector key with the lid 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.)

MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed)

“Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several operations.

The keys shown in the illustrations below (as preset macro

keys) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual functions.

Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control transmitter sequentially. (To know what key functions are sequentially carried out by pressing each preset macro key, see the next page.)

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

MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.)

Preset macro keys are originally preset with macros. 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. (See page 44 for the learning method.)

Setting the MACRO switch

OFF:

In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of remote control transmitter is closed.

QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals.

SLOW: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 3 second intervals.

Notes

•

A key in which no function is stored will carry out no command.

•

If it occurs that this unit will not receive the second command because the internal operation of the first command takes a long time, set the MACRO switch to the “SLOW” position, or add no function or repeat the same command between the first command and the next command.

•

If you will program the power on/off switching function of TV,

VCR, etc. as part of a macro sequence, note that it switches the current mode to the other (“on” to “off”, or “off” to “on”).

For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of

TV, VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off even though you may not want it to do so.

•

Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the

“SLOW” position.

•

Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote control transmitter directed at the main unit’s remote control sensor until the remote control transmitter finishes transmitting all command signals of the macro key.

•

You can use the OPERATION CONTROL keys also while using the macro functions.

MAKING A NEW MACRO

A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 41 to know what keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other keys.

Note

If you store a continuous command such as lowering of volume level, it will become a short command when it is carried out as a part of macro.
