PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the
rear panel if the equipment requires more power than the
outlet is rated to provide.
Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before
you finish all connections.
The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other
types of accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be
held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this
unit with a voltage other than specified.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on
speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken
to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which
may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control
setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in
an extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause the unit to
malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:
Pickup
Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Remote control
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.
To prevent a malfunction of this unit:
Do not use any non standard shaped disc (heart etc.)
available on the market, because it may damage the
unit.
Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it,
because damage to the unit may result.
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Choose the installation location of this unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive
dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of
hum such as transformers and electric motors.
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat,
possibly causing damage.
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.
For Singapore model :
The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of

inside the cabinet will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid
placing objects against these openings, and install the unit
in well-ventilated condition. Be sure to allow a space of at
least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on the both sides and 30 cm
above the top panel of the unit. Otherwise it may not only
damage the unit, but also cause fire.
Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before
starting an audio source play: increase the volume
gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.
When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the
wall outlet.
Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken
so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not
defeated.

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

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear
speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center
speaker. (Refer to the “Speaker configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and
surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Speaker configuration
(1)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 sound field
program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected,
conversations will be output from the center speaker and
the ambience will be excellent.
Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL
position. (For details, refer to page 16.)
(2)4-Speaker Configuration
(without the center speaker)
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
sound field program PRO LOGIC is selected, the
center sound will be output from the left and the right front
speakers, although the program 3 STEREO is
useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect
of other programs can be almost 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 16.)
Note
As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear
channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in
monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of
using two rear speakers.
However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended
when there are more than one listener in the listening room.
When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your
listening position.
Speaker placement
Front speakers: In normal position.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx.
six feet) up from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers.

WARNING:
Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.). Do not
mount them on thin plywood or soft wall surface
material, as the screws may come out of the flimsy
surface, causing the speakers to fall down and be
damaged, or result in personal injury.
Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails,
adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use
and vibrations may cause them to fall down.
To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose
speaker cables, fix them to the wall.
To hang in a side long way
Hang the speakers so that each of them faces inside as
figured left.
SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
Mounting the center speaker (NX-C70)
Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under the
TV or inside the TV rack in a stable position.
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the
speaker from falling down, put the provided pads at four
points on bottom of the speaker.
Notes
Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area
is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If
placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to
you.
Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding type,
there may be some influence on a TV picture
depending on the type of TV or the placement of the
speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart from
the TV so that there is no influence on TV picture.

CONNECTIONS
Connecting speakers
(See figure 6 on page 66.)
Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS
terminals, the center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKERS
terminals and the rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS
terminals.
Note
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
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 as
this could damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
Note on connecting one rear speaker only
You can use one rear speaker only in place of two rear
speakers. For connecting one rear speaker, follow the
method shown below.
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
Press up the tab.

However, in this case, pressing the DISC SKIP button or a
DISC selector button is invalid.
Note
You can load or replace discs on the trays when the disc

more (so that the corresponding disc tray number is
located on the top of the disc indicator).

disc directly, and playback will begin from track 1
automatically
Note
If a Video CD, version 2.0 is selected, “PBC” lights up on the
display, yet the total number of tracks, the total playing time
of the disc and the music calendar will not be displayed. In

Check the contents and the number of preset stations by
following the procedure of the section “To recall a preset
station” on the previous page.
To recall a preset station
Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset
station” on the previous page.
Notes
The automatic preset tuning search will be performed
through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the

stop after searching all frequencies.
* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may be a
case that 40 preset stations are occupied by FM
stations only.
With this function, only stations with sufficient signal
strength are stored automatically. If the station you want
to program is weak in signal strength, tune in to it with the
Manual tuning method (in monaural) and program it by
following the procedure of the section “To store stations”
on the previous page.
You can replace a preset station with another FM or AM
station manually by simply following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on the previous page.

The Sound Field Processor built into this unit presents you with the ambience of an actual concert hall etc. by adding effects as
sonic reflections or reberverations that create the sound environment of a hall etc. This unit provides preset sound field programs
shown below. You can enjoy an excellent audio sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.
This unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video
sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field
program.

FEATURE
This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the
dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater.
This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for
sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this
program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the
dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output
from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear
speakers.
In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the front speakers, creating an expansive
large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.
This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many
reflections of high frequencies.
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.
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily
spacious feel of a large 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.

Notes
When HALL, ARENA, DISCO, STADIUM or MONO
MOVIE is selected, no sound is heard from the center
speaker.
When a monaural sound source is played with PRO
LOGIC, no sound is heard from the rear speakers.
If you play back a source not encoded with the Dolby Pro
Logic Surround when PRO LOGIC is selected, the
source may not be played back normally.
A sound field program and a karaoke mode cannot work
simultaneously. If you press the KARAOKE button to
select a karaoke mode, the sound field processor
becomes unavailable. (The sound field program indicator
on the display goes off.)
Reversely, if you select a sound field program by pressing

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

(See figure 5 on page 5.) 1 Remove the battery compartment cover. (Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow.) 2 Aim (within the range of 60° with no obstacles) the remote control transmitter at the remote control sensor and operate as shown. Insert 2 “AA” size batteries (UM/SUM-3, R6, HP-7 or equivalent) into the battery compartment. * Installing the batteries improperly may cause failure. 3 Notes concerning use • Replace the batteries if control distance decreases or operation becomes unstable. • Periodically clean the transmitter window on the remote control transmitter and the sensor on the main unit with a soft cloth. • Exposing the sensor on the main unit to strong light (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.) may interfere with operation. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. • Keep the remote control transmitter away from moisture, excessive heat, shock and vibrations. • The remote control transmitter’s usable range is within 0.2m (8”) and 6m (20’) away from the sensor. Replace the battery compartment cover. Precautions for battery use Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated in the battery compartment. Replace all batteries with new ones at the same time. Remove the batteries if they are weak or the unit is not in use for long periods. Do not mix normal batteries with rechargeable batteries. • • • • E-6 This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “Speaker configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.). Speaker configuration (1) Front L Center (1) 5-Speaker Configuration Front R 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 sound field program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent. ● Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” position. (For details, refer to page 16.) Dialogue Surround sound (2) 4-Speaker Configuration (without the center speaker) Rear R Rear L The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the sound field program PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound will be output from the left and the right front speakers, although the program 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be almost 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 16.) (2) Front L Front R Dialogue Note As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers. However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there are more than one listener in the listening room. When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position. Surround sound Rear L Rear R Speaker placement Front R Center Center Front speakers: Rear speakers: Front L Center speaker: TV TV set set Rear R Rear L E-7 In normal position. Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. six feet) up from the floor. Precisely between the front speakers. English SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS Only for customers who use the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system (separate purchase) 1 If you use the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system with this unit, read the following descriptions for mounting the NS-P30. * “NS-P30” is the package number which includes the YAMAHA speaker systems NX-E70 and NX-C70. NX-E70 is designed to be used as a rear effect speaker system, and NX-C70 is designed to be used as a center speaker system. 2 ■ Mounting the rear speakers (NX-E70) Mount the rear speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor directly, or hang them on the wall. Wall/ wall support To mount the rear speakers on a wall Tapping screw (Available at the hardware store) 1 Attach the provided mounting bracket to the rear of the speaker by using the provided screws. 2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in the diagram, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket on the protruding screws. * The holes are arranged so that the speakers can be mounted in a side long, upright or upside-down way. * Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow part of the holes securely. Notes Never attach the bracket to the speaker backwards. ● Speaker cords should be connected to the speaker’s terminals after the bracket is attached to the speaker to prevent the speaker cords pressed between the speaker and the bracket. ● 40mm Good No good E-8 To hang in a side long way Hang the speakers so that each of them faces inside as figured left. WARNING: ● Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.). Do not mount them on thin plywood or soft wall surface material, as the screws may come out of the flimsy surface, causing the speakers to fall down and be damaged, or result in personal injury. ● Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails, adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to fall down. ● To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the wall. ■ Mounting the center speaker (NX-C70) Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack in a stable position. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided pads at four points on bottom of the speaker. Notes ● Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to you. ● Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding type, there may be some influence on a TV picture depending on the type of TV or the placement of the speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart from the TV so that there is no influence on TV picture. E-9 English SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS CONNECTIONS Never plug the AC supply lead of this unit into the AC outlet until all connections are completed. Connecting speakers (See figure 6 on page 6.) Note on connecting a subwoofer (separate purchase) Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals, the center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKERS terminals and the rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals. You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies. Connect the SUBWOOFER OUT 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 subwoofer systems, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, an amplifier is incorporated into the system. * The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal outputs low frequencies from the front and center channels. (The cut-off frequency of signals output from this terminal is 200 Hz.) Note Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit. ■ 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. ■ How to connect the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system (separate purchase) to this unit (See figure 7 on page 7.) Caution Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the amplifier and/or speakers. If you connect the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system to this unit, read the following descriptions. Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–) NX-E70 (Rear speakers) ● Connect the push-type input terminals on the rear of the speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals of this unit with the provided speaker cables. ● One side of the speaker cable has a white line and the other side has no line. Connect the (+) terminals on both this unit and the speakers using the side with a white line. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the side with no line. ● Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of this unit, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. ➀ Press up the tab. ➁ Insert the bare wire. ➀ ➂ ➁ [Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.] ➂ Press down the tab and secure the wire. Note on connecting one rear speaker only You can use one rear speaker only in place of two rear speakers. For connecting one rear speaker, follow the method shown below. Procedures: ➀ Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in the figure. ➁ Insert the bare speaker wire end properly into the terminal hole. [Remove approx. 5 mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker cable.] ➂ Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock snugly on the cable’s wire end. ➃ Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the cable at the terminal. Rear speaker REAR R CENTER L REAR NX-C70 (Center speaker) To connect the speaker cable from NX-C70 to the CENTER SPEAKERS terminals of this unit, make sure to connect the side with a white line to the (+) terminal and the side with no line to the (–) terminal.

The Sound Field Processor built into this unit presents you with the ambience of an actual concert hall etc. by adding effects as sonic reflections or reberverations that create the sound environment of a hall etc. This unit provides preset sound field programs shown below. You can enjoy an excellent audio sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments. This unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field program. MUSIC ROCK POPS JAZZ USER 12 PROGRAM PRO LOGIC HALL ARENA DISCO 3 STEREO STADIUM MONO MOVIE Brief Overview of Sound Field Programs PROGRAM PRO LOGIC 3 STEREO FEATURE This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater. This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear speakers. HALL In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the front speakers, creating an expansive large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field. ARENA This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many reflections of high frequencies. 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. STADIUM MONO MOVIE This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily spacious feel of a large 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.
