IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Explanation of Graphical Symbols

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an

equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the

presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within

the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to

persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle

is intended to alert you to the presence of important

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in

the literature accompanying the appliance.

1 Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions

should be read before the product is operated.

2 Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future reference.

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6 Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by

the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7 Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water –

for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or

laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool;

and the like.

8 Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall,

causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious

damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold

with the product. Any mounting of the product should

follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a

mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9 A product and cart combination should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may

cause the product and cart combination to

overturn.

10 Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the

product and to protect it from overheating, and these

openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings

should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed,

sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not

be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack

unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s

instructions have been adhered to.

11 Power Sources – This product should be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If

you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,

consult your product dealer or local power company. For

products intended to operate from battery power, or other

sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12 Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped

with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13 Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them, paying particular

attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the product.

14 Lightning – For added protection for this product during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for

long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the product due to lightning and power-line

surges.

15 Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

19 Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the

wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

product,

SPEAKER SETUP

PREPARATION

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R

speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,

multi-channel audio sources and THX.

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU

(International Telecommunication Union).

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus

effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from

the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker

from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds

(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical

to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,

however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front

face of the center speaker with the front face of your video

monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front

speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as

directly over or under it.

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround

sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above

the floor.

Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround

speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back

transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the

listening position and at the same height as the surround

speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in)

apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width

as the front speakers.

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active

Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only

for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,

but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low-

frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and

DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so

critical, because low bass sounds are not highly

directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the

front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the

room to reduce wall reflections.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)

Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front

speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA

DSP (see page 48). These effects include sounds that

filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the

screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place

these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 – 1 m

(1 – 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly

inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound

simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers in

the Sound menu (see page 61).

Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used

for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please

place the surround and surround back speakers according

to the speaker layout below.

SPEAKER SETUP

PREPARATION

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),

“+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are

faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the

polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound

will be unnatural and lack bass.

• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set

this unit’s speaker impedance setting to

6 ohms before using (see page 26). If you will

use 8 ohm speakers, use this unit’s initial

setting for speaker impedance.

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this

unit is disconnected from the power source.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or

do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This

could damage this unit and/or speakers.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of

speaker still creates interference with the monitor,

place the speakers away from the monitor.

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables

running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped

differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.

Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red)

terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain

cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together

to prevent short circuits.

3 Loosen the knob.

The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for

loosening or tightening knobs.

4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

■ Connecting to PRESENCE/ZONE 2 or

PRESENCE speaker terminals

1 Open the tab.

2 Insert one bare wire into the hole of each

terminal.

3 Return the tab to secure the wire.

■ Banana plug connections

(With the exception of U.K., Europe and Asia models)

First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug

connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

You can also use banana plugs with the PRESENCE/ZONE 2 and

PRESENCE speaker terminals. Open the tab, then insert one

banana plug connector into the hole of each terminal. Do not

attempt to close the tabs after connecting the banana plugs.

CONNECTIONS

Do not connect this unit or other components to the mains

power until all connections between components are

complete.

■ Cable indications

■ Analog jacks

You can input analog signals from audio components by

connecting audio pin cables to the analog jacks on this

unit. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs

to the left jacks.

■ Digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital

signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You

can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and

DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both

the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to

signals input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks

are compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus

audio signals input at the analog jacks are only output at the

analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input at the

digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output at the

DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

■ Video jacks

This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection

depends on the availability of input jacks on your monitor.

The signals input at the S VIDEO jacks on this unit are

automatically converted for output at the VIDEO jacks.

When

“Video Conv.” is set to “On” (see page 66), signals

input at the VIDEO jacks can be output at the S VIDEO

and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks. Likewise, signals input

at the S VIDEO jacks can also be output at the

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

VIDEO jack

For conventional composite video signals.

S VIDEO jack

For S-video signals, separated into luminance (Y) and

color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color

reproduction.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

For component signals, separated into luminance (Y) and

AUTO SETUP

PREPARATION

This receiver employs YAMAHA Parametric Room

Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you

avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and

achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied

optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound

your speakers produce in your actual listening

environment.

• Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be

output during the auto setup procedure.

• If auto setup stops and error messages appear on the screen,

follow the troubleshooting on page 31.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes

appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible

sound from your system.

Wiring

Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of

each speaker.

Distance

Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening

position and adjusts the timing of each channel.

Size

Checks the speaker’s frequency response and sets the

appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel.

Equalizing

Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric

equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and

create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly

important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers

for some channels or have a room with unique sonic

characteristics.

YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three

parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the

seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly

precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

Level

Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each

speaker.

1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone

to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front

panel.

• After you have completed the auto setup procedure, be sure to

disconnect the optimizer microphone.

• The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.

– Keep it away from direct sunlight.

– Do not place it on top of this unit.

2 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat

level surface with the omni-directional

microphone head upward, at your normal

listening position.

If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer

mic at the same height as your ears would be when

you are seated in your listening position.

OPERATION

HD Radio is a new technology that enables AM and FM

radio stations to broadcast programs digitally. Digital

broadcasting provides listeners with radically improved

audio quality and reception as well as new data services.

Furthermore, supplemental program services allow

listeners to select from up to 8 HD Radio programs

multicast on a single FM HD Radio channel. For further

information on HD Radio, visit “www.ibiquity.com”.

This unit is equipped with an HD Radio reception feature,

facilitating CD quality FM broadcasts as well as analog

FM stereo quality AM broadcasts. In addition, this unit

can receive both audio and data (such as song titles, artist

names, album names, and genres) from supplemental

program services (HD1 to HD8).

Just as for tuning into an analog FM or AM station,

2 tuning methods are available: automatic and manual.

This unit is capable of receiving both hybrid and all-digital HD

Radio station signals. However, this unit may not automatically

receive all-digital FM station signals and the automatic tuning

operation may stop. In this case, select one of the preset stations,

or manually tune into the FM station you want to select, then set

the tuning mode back to AUTO by pressing TUNING MODE

(AUTO/MAN’L).

■ HD Radio automatic tuning

Automatic tuning is effective when station signals are

strong and there is no interference.

Follow steps 1 through 4 as described in

“Automatic tuning” on page 41.

Both analog and digital broadcasts are received, but when

tuned into an HD Radio station, the TUNED and HD

indicators light up and the frequency of the received

station is displayed in the front panel.

If the HD indicator lights up, the broadcast being received

contains an HD Radio digital signal.

■ HD Radio manual tuning

Manual tuning is recommended when station signals are

weak.

Follow steps 1 through 3 as described in

“Manual tuning” on page 41, then set the tuning

mode back to AUTO by pressing TUNING MODE

(AUTO/MAN’L).

Both analog and digital broadcasts are received, but when

tuned into an HD Radio station, the TUNED and HD

indicators light up and the frequency of the received

station is displayed in the front panel.

If station signals are weak, analog broadcasts will be played back

instead even in the automatic tuning mode, and the HD indicator

does not light up.

display while toggling between data programs.

• Only 1 HD Radio audio program (HD1) is available for AM

broadcasts, while up to 8 audio programs (HD1 to HD8) are

available for FM broadcasts.

• When reception for an audio program ceases, the HD

indicator

disappears from the front panel display and HD1 is

automatically selected after approximately 20 seconds.

• Some audio programs may not contain data programs

depending on the broadcasting station and the time period.

• The audio programs from HD2 to HD8 can be selected only

when they contain data programs.

There are 3 types of front panel displays that show HD

Radio information when the unit is in the tuner mode:

frequency, station and music information.

Press DISPLAY on the remote control repeatedly

to toggle between the following 3 front panel

displays.

■ Frequency information

(Preset group / FM or AM / Frequency)

■ Station information

(Station name / FM or AM / Audio program)

Station information is available when a station name is

received as data in 4 alphabetical codes.

■ Music information

(Song title / Artist name / Album name / Genre)

Music information is available only when data programs

are received.

If the music information is long, it automatically scrolls to

the left in the front panel display.

HD Radio information is also available in the GUI menu

(see page 55).

RECORDING

BASIC

OPERATION

You can use the REC OUT/ZONE 2 control to record one

source while watching and/or listening to another source.

Recording adjustments and other operations are

performed from the recording components. Refer to the

operation instructions for those components.

1 Turn on the power of this unit and all

connected components.

2 Select the source component you want to

record from by using REC OUT/ZONE 2.

• To record the current input source that you are

watching or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 to

SOURCE/REMOTE.

• To record a source other than the one that you are

watching or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 to

the source you want to record.

After this setting, you can change the source you

are listening to and/or watching without effecting

the recording by rotating the INPUT selector (or

pressing one of the input selector buttons on the

remote control).

3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)

on the source component.

4 Start recording on the recording component.

• To record audio and video from different sources, set REC

OUT/ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE, select a video source

first then select an audio source (see page 39).

• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

• The source you record and the source sent to Zone 2 are always

the same.

• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record

between other components connected to this unit.

• The setting of TONE CONTROL, (see page 60) VOLUME,

Speaker Level (page 65) and programs does not affect recorded

material.

• A source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit

cannot be recorded.

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently

through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or

dubbing video signals, if your video source component is

connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite

video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a

composite video) signal to your VCR.

• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not

output at the analog AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks for recording.

Likewise, analog signals input at the AUDIO IN (L/R) jacks are

not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your

source component is connected to provide only digital (or

analog) signals, you can only record digital (or analog) signals.

• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT

channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not

output on VCR 1 OUT.)

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from

records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may

infringe copyright laws.

• Audio signals input from the selected i.LINK or HDMI

components are output to REC OUT when REC OUT/ZONE 2

on the front panel is set to SOURCE/REMOTE or to the source

you want to record. However, multi-channel DVD audio

signals, DSD signals of Super Audio CD and 2-channel PCM

signals over 48 kHz of sampling frequency cannot be output to

REC OUT.

■ Special considerations when recording

DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to

digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise

being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to

record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,

the following considerations and adjustments need to be

made.

For DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player

is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation

instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will

be output from the player.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from

almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field

processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.

Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous

concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to

AUTO (see page 40) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

• This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in

actual halls, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.

• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI”

can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel

(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to

select sound field programs, see “Selecting sound field programs” on pages 34 and 35.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations with the press of a single button. For example,

when you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button

to start playback. The Macro feature lets you perform all of these operations simply by pressing the CD macro button.

The buttons listed as macro buttons below are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros

(see page 77).

You can turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit by connecting them to the AC

OUTLET(S) on the rear panel of this unit. (Power control may not be synchronized with this unit depending on the component.

For details, refer to the operating instructions for the connected component.)

When the remote control code for your TV is set up for either DTV or PHONO (see page 71), you can turn on the power of your TV

without selecting an input source. The remote control code set up for DTV takes priority over the one for PHONO.

When TUNER is selected as the input source, this unit plays the last station received before the unit was set in the standby mode.

Playback can be started for any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorder, CD player, CD recorder, DVD player, or DVD

recorder. When using macros to operate other components, you will need to program the play button on the control area of that

component (see page 73) or set a remote control code (see page 71).

ZONE 2/ZONE 3

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 features enable you to set this unit

to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3). You can control

this unit from the second or third room using the supplied remote control.

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:

• An infrared signal receiver in the second and/or third room.

• An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second

and/or third room to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).

• An amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room.

• A video monitor for the second room.

• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit

in a multi-room configuration, we recommend that you consult

with your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center

for the Zone 2/Zone 3 connections that best meet your

requirements.

• Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the

CONTROL OUT jack on this unit. If you own these products,

you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six

YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.

■ System configuration and connections example

Using external amplifiers

To use an external amplifier in Zone 2, select “External” in Zone2 Amplifier (page 67).

• When not using the main room, turn down the volume of this unit in the main room. Adjust the Zone 2/Zone 3 volume by using the

amplifier in the second/third room.

• To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

ZONE 2/ZONE 3

Only analog signals are sent to the second and third rooms. Any source you want to listen to in the second or third

room must be connected using the analog (AUDIO L/R) input jacks on this unit.

• When normal, Zone 2 or Zone 3 mode is selected, you

can turn on the main unit, Zone 2 or Zone 3 or set them

to the standby mode individually.

• When System mode is selected, or when “2000” or

“2002” (see page 72) is selected as the amplifier library

(L;AMP) code, pressing SYSTEM POWER turns on

the main unit only. However, pressing STANDBY sets

everything (the main unit, Zone 2 and Zone 3) to the

standby mode simultaneously.

POWER or STANDBY is pressed.

To control Zone 2 or Zone 3 again when System mode is selected

and the main unit, Zone 2 and Zone 3 are in the standby mode,

press SYSTEM POWER to turn on the main unit, then repeat

steps 1 through 5 of the procedure in “To control Zone 2/Zone 3”

on pages 84 and 85.

■ Special considerations for DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to

send the DTS signal to the second/third room you will

only hear digital noise (that may damage your speakers).

Thus, the following considerations and adjustments need

to be made when playing DTS encoded discs.

For DVDs encoded with DTS

Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the

second/third room.

Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed

2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or

Dolby Digital soundtrack.

For CDs encoded in DTS

To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the

Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

USING I.LINK

ADVANCED

OPERATION

i.LINK is a high-speed and bi-directional digital interface

in compliance with a global standard approved by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

i.LINK enables i.LINK-compatible components to send

and receive digital audio signals (bitstreams such as Dolby

Digital, and DTS; 2-channel linear PCM signals; DSD

signals of Super Audio CD) over a single i.LINK cable.

You can process audio signals by selecting between the

DSD Direct mode where DSD signals are directly output

to DSD-compatible audio DAC and the DSD mode where

DSD signals are changed to PCM signals to ensure rich

sound fields.

i.LINK currently supports three different data transfer

rates: 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and 400 Mbps.

This unit supports hot plugging, a function that allows you

to disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable while the

power is turned on.

■ i.LINK compatibility with this unit

■ Daisy chain connections

Use to link components together in a single chain. You can

link up to 17 different components (including this unit)

with this method.

■ Tree connections

Use to link components in a branched configuration when

3 or more i.LINK connectors are available. You can link

up to 63 different components (including this unit) with

this method.

• When making connections, use a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable that

supports the S400 transmission speed. We also recommend

using a cable less than 3.5 m (10 ft) in length.

• The system will not work if components are connected in a loop

(where the output signal is returned to the original component).

• This unit does not output signals not input at the i.LINK jacks.

• Because the data transfer rates may vary depending on the

arrangement order of i.LINK components, it is advised that you

link i.LINK components with the same data transfer rates.

• Do not disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable from this unit

or other i.LINK components while data is being transferred.

Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.

• When connecting the IEEE1394 cable to this unit’s i.LINK

connectors, be sure to confirm the orientation of the connector

before connecting the cable. Using excessive force to connect

the cable to the connector in the wrong orientation will damage

the connector.

• Do not turn the power of i.LINK components on or off while

data is transferred. Doing so may stop playback. If this happens,

turn this unit to standby mode, and then turn it back on.

• Other i.LINK components connected to this unit need to

support DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection).

• This unit supports i.LINK (AUDIO) components only.

Because this unit does not support i.LINK (VIDEO), video

signals, such as MPEG2-TS (BS digital, etc.) or

DV (DV camera, DVD recorder, etc.), are not compatible with

this unit.

• If this unit is in the standby mode or turned off, signals cannot

be output to the next i.LINK component.

USING i.LINK

What is i.LINK?

This unit’s i.LINK interface was based on the

following design standards:

• IEEE1394 Std 1394a-2000

USING i.LINK

■ Assigning i.LINK components

When an i.LINK component is connected, this unit

automatically recognizes the connection and registers up

to 16 i.LINK components. Assigning an i.LINK

component to a specific input allows you to select video

and audio input signals from that component received via

the i.LINK connection for simultaneous playback.

Turn on the power of this unit and the connected

i.LINK component.

The i.LINK component is automatically recognized and

registered in the following order:

DVD → DTV → CBL/SAT → VCR1 → DVR/VCR2 →

V-AUX → PHONO → CD → CD-R → MD/TAPE

“LINK CHECK” flashes on the front panel display during

this procedure.

• If you want to change the input assignment of a registered

i.LINK component, use Input Assign in the GUI menu

(see page 93) or INPUT ASSIGN in the front panel display

system options menu (see page 90).

• Only one i.LINK component is assigned to each input and

inputs that are already assigned are skipped.

• If i.LINK components are assigned to all the inputs available,

no more i.LINK components can be assigned, and audio signals

input from these i.LINK components cannot be played back on

this unit.

■ Listening to playback from i.LINK

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

A significant factor that creates the rich, full tones of a live

instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of

the room. In addition to making the sound “live”, these

reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated,

and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.

■ Elements of a sound field

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming

straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are

two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to

make up the sound field:

Early reflections

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly

(50 ms – 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting

from one surface only – for example, from the ceiling or a

wall. Early reflections help add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations

These are caused by reflections from more than one

surface – walls, ceiling, the back of the room – so

numerous that they merge together to form a continuous

sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen

the clarity of the direct sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent

reverberation taken together help us to determine the

subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this

information that the digital sound field processor

reproduces in order to create sound fields.

If you could create the appropriate early reflections and

subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you

would be able to create your own listening environment.

The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a

concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at

all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly

what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field

processor.

You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset

parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial

settings, you can change some of the parameters to better

suit the input source or your listening room. The following

parameters are not always found in every program.

1 Set AMP/SOURCE/TV to AMP, then press

TOP on the remote control.

2 Select Stereo/Surround, then press h.

3 Select the desired sound field program, then

press h to access and adjust.

You cannot change parameter values when Memory Guard is set

to “On”. If you want to change the parameter values, set Memory

Guard to “Off” (see page 68).

■

Resetting parameters to the factory values

To reset all parameters

Use Sur.Initialize (see page 67).

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from

being lost even if this unit is set in the standby mode, the

power cable is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the power

supply is temporarily cut due to power failure. However, if

the power is cut for more than one week, the parameter values

will return to the factory settings. If this happens, edit the

Description: Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP

effect level relative to the level of the direct sound.

Control Range: –6 dB to +3 dB

■ Init. Delay (Initial delay)

Function: Changes the apparent distance the sound source is from the reflection face by adjusting the delay

between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.

Description: The smaller the value, the closer the reflection face seems to the sound source. The larger the value, the

farther it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a large value.

Control range: 1

to 99 ms

■ Room Size (Room size)

Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround

sound field becomes.

Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between

the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the

reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from

one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

Control range: 0.1 to 2.0

INFORMATION

■ Liveness (Liveness)

Function: Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections

decay.

Description: The early reflections of a source sound decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall

surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces

is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”.

The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the

room.

Control range: 0 to 10

■ Sur.Init.Delay (Surround initial delay)

Function: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the sound

field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two surround channels

are used.

Control range: 1 to 49 ms

■ Sur.Room Size (Surround room size)

Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field.

Control range: 0.1 to 2.0

■ Sur.Liveness (Surround liveness)

Function: Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.

Control range: 0 to 10

■ SB.Init.Delay (Surround back initial delay)

Function: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround back sound field.

Control range: 1 to 49 ms

■ SB.Room Size (Surround back room size)

Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround back sound field.

Control range: 0.1 to 2.0

■ Rev. Time (Reverberation time)

Function: Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB

(at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.

Description: The longer the reverberation time, the more “live” the listening room environment seems. The shorter

the reverberation time, the more “dead” the listening room environment seems.

Control range: 1.0 to 5.0 s

■ Rev. Delay (Reverberation delay)

Function: Adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the

reverberation sound.

Description: The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you

feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.

Control range: 0 to 250 ms

■ Rev. Level (Reverberation level)

Function: Adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.

Description: The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives

you completely independent multi-channel audio. It

provides 5 full-range audio channels; 3 front channels

(left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels.

An additional channel especially for bass effects, called

LFE (low frequency effect) is also provided giving the

system a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as a 0.1

channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround

speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and

surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby

Surround. The wide dynamic range (maximum to

minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range

channels and the precise sound orientation generated

using digital sound processing provide listeners with a

previously unheard of excitement and realism.

■ Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output

channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done by using

a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from

the 2 in the original recording. For best results, Dolby

Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks

recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this

additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and

realistic moving sound especially with scenes that have

“flyover” and “fly-around” effects.

■ Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is an improved technique used to

decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround

software. This new technology enables a 5-channel

playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center

channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of

only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic

technology). Music and Game modes are also available

for 2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode.

■ Dolby Pro Logic x

Dolby Pro Logic x is a new technology enabling 6.1 or

7.1 multi-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-

channel sources. There is a Music mode for music, a

Movie mode for movies and a Game mode for games.

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system

to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front

left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog

(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound

effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces

sound within a narrow frequency range.

Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes

and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as

well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit

employs a digital signal processing system that

automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to

enhance moving sound effects and directionality.

■ DSD

Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology stores audio

signals on digital storage media, such as Super Audio

CDs. Using DSD, signals are stored as single bit values at

a high-frequency sampling rate of approximately 2.8224

MHz, while noise shaping and oversampling are used to

reduce distortion, a common occurrence with very high

quantization of audio signals. Due to the a high sampling

rate, better audio quality can be achieved than that offered

by the PCM format used for normal audio CDs.

■ DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality

for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully

backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers

to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz

sampling rate). “24” refers to 24-bit word length.

DTS 96/24 offers sound quality transparent to the original

96/24 master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with

full-quality full-motion video for music programs and

motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog

soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound

track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie

theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.

has developed a home theater system so that you can

enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation

of DTS digital surround in your home. This system

produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound

(technically, left, right and center channels, 2 surround

channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a

total of 5.1-channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES

decoder that enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding

a surround back channel to the existing 5.1-channel

format.

INFORMATION

■ Neo:6

Neo:6 decodes conventional 2-channel sources for

6 channel playback by. It enables playback with the full-

range channels with higher separation comparable to

digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available;

“Music mode” for playing music sources and “Cinema

mode” for movies.

■ PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog

audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without

using any compression. This is used as a method of

recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a

technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per

very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code

modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and

then modulated for recording.

■ SRS CS (SRS Circle Surround )

SRS CS (SRS Circle Surround ) is a

high-performance 6.1 channel matrix surround sound

decoding system. It is the next-generation of the original

SRS Circle Surround technology, incorporating powerful

industry-first features including the dialog clarity

enhancement technology and added cinema-like bass to

the front channels and subwoofer.

■ CINEMA DSP

Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were

originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect

is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed

for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room

size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can

differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in

the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured

data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original

sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic,

Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and

audio experience of a movie theater in the listening room

of your own home.

■ SILENT CINEMA

YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect

DSP algorithm for headphones.

Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound

field so that accurate representations of all the sound field

programs can be enjoyed on headphones.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP

YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP

algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field

surround effects without any surround speakers by using

virtual surround speakers.

It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a

minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center

speaker.

■ ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)

ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes

the sound fed to 2 side and 2 back surround speakers to

provide the optimal surround sound experience. When you

set up your home theater system using all eight speaker

outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right, Surround

Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and

Subwoofer) placing the two Surround Back speakers close

together facing the front of the room will provide the

largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to

place the Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to

go THX Audio Set-up screen and choose the setting that

most closely corresponds to the speaker spacing, which

will re-optimized the surround sound-field.

ASA is used in three new modes: THX Select2 Cinema,

THX Music Mode and THX Games Mode.

■ ITU-R

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU

(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R

recommends a standard speaker placement which is used

in many critical listening rooms, such as mastering

studios.

■ LFE 0.1 channel

This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.

The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.

This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a

low frequency range compared to the full-range

reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.

■ Sampling frequency and number of

quantized bits

When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of

times the signal is sampled per second is called the

sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when

converting the sound level into a numeric value is called

the number of quantized bits.

The range of rates that can be played back is determined

based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range

representing the sound level difference is determined by

the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the

sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies

that can be played back, and the higher the number of

quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be

reproduced.

GLOSSARY

■ THX Cinema processing

THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies

established by the world-renowned film production

company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’

personal desire to make your experience of the film

soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home

theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director

intended.

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres

called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back

in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions.

This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto

Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for

playback in a small home theatre environment.

THX engineers developed patented technologies to

accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre

environment into the home, correcting the tonal and

spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX

indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in

Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).

Adaptive decorrelation

In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers

help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but

in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This

can make the surround speakers sound like headphones

that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround

sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you

move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive

decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time

and phase relationship with respect to the other surround

channel. This expands the listening position and

creates – with only two speakers – the same spacious

surround experience as in a movie theatre.

Re-equalization

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively

bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment

in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be

played back in large movie theatres using very different

professional equipment. Re-equalization restores the

correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a

small home environment.

Timbre matching

The human ear changes our perception of sound

depending on the direction from which it is coming. In a

movie theatre, there is an array of surround speakers so

that the surround information is all around you. In a home

theatre, you use only two speakers located to the side of

your head. The timbre matching feature filters the

information going to the surround speakers so that they

more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound

coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless

panning between the front and surround speakers.

■ THX Games Mode

For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the

THX Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX

ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all

5.1 and 2.0 encoded game sources such as analog, PCM,

DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game

audio surround information, providing a full 360 degree

playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it

gives you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the

surround field.

■ THX Music Mode

For the replay of multi-channel music the THX Music

Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA

processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1

encoded music sources such as DTS, Dolby Digital and

DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.

■ THX Select2

Before any home theatre component can be THX Select2

certified, it must incorporate all the features described in

THX Cinema processing and also pass a rigorous series of

quality and performance tests. Only then can a product

feature the THX Select2 logo, which is your guarantee

that the Home Theatre products you purchase will give

you superb performance for many years to come.

THX Select2 requirements cover every aspect of the

product including power amplifier and pre-amplifier

performance and operation, and hundreds of other

parameters in both the digital and analog domain.

■ THX Select2 Cinema mode

THX Select2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all

8 speakers giving you the best possible movie watching

experience. In this mode ASA processing blends the side

surround speakers and back surround speakers providing

the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround

sounds.

DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital

Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be automatically

detected in THX Select2 Cinema mode if the appropriate

flag has been encoded.

Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing

the digital flag that allows automatic switching. If you

know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in

Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround

EX playback mode; otherwise, THX Select2 Cinema

mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum

replay.

GLOSSARY

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

■ THX Surround EX

THX Surround EX-Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint

development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been

encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are

able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added

during the mixing of the program. This channel, called

Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in

addition to the currently available front left, front center,

front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer

channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity

for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings

more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization

than ever before.

Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital

Surround EX technology, when released into the home

consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the

packaging. A list of movies created using this technology

can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com.

A list of available DVD software titles encoded with this

technology can be found at www.thx.com.

Only receiver and controller products bearing the

THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX

mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the

home.

This product may also engage the THX Surround EX

mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is

not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such cases the

information delivered to the Surround Back channel will

be program dependent and may or may not be pleasing

depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of

the individual listener.

■ Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal

is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the

B and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be

reproduced more faithfully with this system because each

of these signals is independent. The component signal is

also called the “color difference signal” because the

luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.

A monitor with component input jacks is required in order

to use the component signal for output.

■ Composite video signal

With the composite video signal system, the video signal

is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;

color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite

video jack on a video component transmits these three

elements combined.

■ S-video signal

With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally

transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted

as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the

chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the

S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss

and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful

images.

PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER INFORMATION

114

This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic

Optimizer (YPAO) technology, together with the

Parametric EQ settings (see page 59), to optimize the

frequency characteristics of its parametric equalizer to

match your listening environment. YPAO uses a

combination of the following three parameters

(Frequency, Gain and Q factor) to provide highly precise

adjustment of the frequency characteristics.

■ Frequency

This parameter is adjustable in one-third octave

increments between 63 Hz and 16 kHz.

■ Gain

This parameter is adjustable in increments of 0.5 dB

between –20 and +6 dB.

■ Q factor

The width of the specified frequency band is referred to as

the Q factor. This parameter is adjustable between the

values 0.5 and 10.

YPAO adjusts frequency characteristics to suit your

listening requirements using a combination of the above

three parameters (Frequency, Gain and Q factor) for each

equalizer band in this unit’s parametric equalizer. This unit

has 7 equalizer bands for each channel.

The use of multiple equalizer bands enables more precise

adjustments of frequency characteristics (as in Figure 2).

This is not possible using only a single equalizer band (as

in Figure 1).

SPEAKER SETUP + SPEAKER SETUP Surround speakers (SR and SL) Speaker placement ITU-R* The speaker layout below shows the standard speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX. The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor. Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL) * ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). PR C FR FL 30˚ Subwoofer SL SR 60˚ SL 80˚ SBL SR SBR More than 30 cm (12 in) The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections. Presence speakers (PR and PL) 1.8 m (6 ft) 1.8 m (6 ft) Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP (see page 48). These effects include sounds that filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor. Note Front speakers (FR and FL) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same. Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers in the Sound menu (see page 61). Center speaker (C) The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it. 13 PREPARATION PL The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the listening position and at the same height as the surround speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in) apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width as the front speakers. SPEAKER SETUP ■ Di-pole speaker layout Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please place the surround and surround back speakers according to the speaker layout below.

Digital broadcasting provides listeners with radically improved audio quality and reception as well as new data services. Furthermore, supplemental program services allow listeners to select from up to 8 HD Radio programs multicast on a single FM HD Radio channel. For further information on HD Radio, visit “www.ibiquity.com”. This unit is equipped with an HD Radio reception feature, facilitating CD quality FM broadcasts as well as analog FM stereo quality AM broadcasts. In addition, this unit can receive both audio and data (such as song titles, artist names, album names, and genres) from supplemental program services (HD1 to HD8). HD Radio™ tuning Just as for tuning into an analog FM or AM station, 2 tuning methods are available: automatic and manual. CAUTION This unit is capable of receiving both hybrid and all-digital HD Radio station signals. However, this unit may not automatically receive all-digital FM station signals and the automatic tuning operation may stop. In this case, select one of the preset stations, or manually tune into the FM station you want to select, then set the tuning mode back to AUTO by pressing TUNING MODE (AUTO/MAN’L). ■ HD Radio automatic tuning Automatic tuning is effective when station signals are strong and there is no interference. ■ HD Radio manual tuning Manual tuning is recommended when station signals are weak. Follow steps 1 through 3 as described in “Manual tuning” on page 41, then set the tuning mode back to AUTO by pressing TUNING MODE (AUTO/MAN’L). Both analog and digital broadcasts are received, but when tuned into an HD Radio station, the TUNED and HD indicators light up and the frequency of the received station is displayed in the front panel. Note If station signals are weak, analog broadcasts will be played back instead even in the automatic tuning mode, and the HD indicator does not light up. 45 BASIC OPERATION Follow steps 1 through 4 as described in “Automatic tuning” on page 41. Both analog and digital broadcasts are received, but when tuned into an HD Radio station, the TUNED and HD indicators light up and the frequency of the received station is displayed in the front panel. If the HD indicator lights up, the broadcast being received contains an HD Radio digital signal. TUNING Selecting HD Radio™ audio programs Use this feature to select one of the 8 HD Radio audio programs (HD1 to HD8) when the unit is in the tuner mode. Each audio program contains data programs. Press PRG SELECT on the remote control repeatedly to toggle between HD Radio audio programs. Press PRG SELECT again within 2 seconds to select another data program.

Notes • The source you record and the source sent to Zone 2 are always the same. • When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit. • The setting of TONE CONTROL, (see page 60) VOLUME, Speaker Level (page 65) and programs does not affect recorded material. • A source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded. • S-video and composite video signals pass independently through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source component is connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal to your VCR. • Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks for recording. Likewise, analog signals input at the AUDIO IN (L/R) jacks are not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your source component is connected to provide only digital (or analog) signals, you can only record digital (or analog) signals. • A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on VCR 1 OUT.) • Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws. • Audio signals input from the selected i.LINK or HDMI components are output to REC OUT when REC OUT/ZONE 2 on the front panel is set to SOURCE/REMOTE or to the source you want to record. However, multi-channel DVD audio signals, DSD signals of Super Audio CD and 2-channel PCM signals over 48 kHz of sampling frequency cannot be output to REC OUT. CD DVR/ VCR 2 REC OUT/ZONE 2 After this setting, you can change the source you are listening to and/or watching without effecting the recording by rotating the INPUT selector (or pressing one of the input selector buttons on the remote control). 3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station) on the source component. 4 Start recording on the recording component. If you play back a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals. ■ Special considerations when recording DTS software The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. For DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player. 47 BASIC OPERATION 1 y SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience. Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters. y The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to AUTO (see page 40) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal. Notes • This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in actual halls, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right. • Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself. For movie/video sources You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI” can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel (stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc. Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to select sound field programs, see “Selecting sound field programs” on pages 34 and 35.

Connecting i.LINK components i.LINK is a high-speed and bi-directional digital interface in compliance with a global standard approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). i.LINK enables i.LINK-compatible components to send and receive digital audio signals (bitstreams such as Dolby Digital, and DTS; 2-channel linear PCM signals; DSD signals of Super Audio CD) over a single i.LINK cable. You can process audio signals by selecting between the DSD Direct mode where DSD signals are directly output to DSD-compatible audio DAC and the DSD mode where DSD signals are changed to PCM signals to ensure rich sound fields. i.LINK currently supports three different data transfer rates: 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and 400 Mbps. ■ Daisy chain connections Use to link components together in a single chain. You can link up to 17 different components (including this unit) with this method. Maximum single cable length: 4.5 m (14.75 ft) i.LINK component ■ i.LINK compatibility with this unit Use to link components in a branched configuration when 3 or more i.LINK connectors are available. You can link up to 63 different components (including this unit) with this method. Audio signal formats Compatible i.LINK components 2ch Linear PCM 2ch, 32-192 kHz CD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio Multi-ch Linear PCM 5.1 ch, 32-96 kHz DVD-Audio Bitstream Dolby Digital, DTS DVD-Video DSD 2ch/5ch/6ch 2.8224 MHz Super Audio CD i.LINK component i.LINK component i.LINK component Maximum single cable length: 4.5 m (14.75 ft) i.LINK component Notes • When making connections, use a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable that supports the S400 transmission speed. We also recommend using a cable less than 3.5 m (10 ft) in length. • The system will not work if components are connected in a loop (where the output signal is returned to the original component). • This unit does not output signals not input at the i.LINK jacks. • Because the data transfer rates may vary depending on the arrangement order of i.LINK components, it is advised that you link i.LINK components with the same data transfer rates. • Do not disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable from this unit or other i.LINK components while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise. • When connecting the IEEE1394 cable to this unit’s i.LINK connectors, be sure to confirm the orientation of the connector before connecting the cable. Using excessive force to connect the cable to the connector in the wrong orientation will damage the connector. • Do not turn the power of i.LINK components on or off while data is transferred. Doing so may stop playback. If this happens, turn this unit to standby mode, and then turn it back on. • Other i.LINK components connected to this unit need to support DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection). • This unit supports i.LINK (AUDIO) components only. Because this unit does not support i.LINK (VIDEO), video signals, such as MPEG2-TS (BS digital, etc.) or DV (DV camera, DVD recorder, etc.), are not compatible with this unit. • If this unit is in the standby mode or turned off, signals cannot be output to the next i.LINK component. 91 ADVANCED OPERATION Audio signal types i.LINK component ■ Tree connections This unit supports hot plugging, a function that allows you to disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable while the power is turned on. This unit’s i.LINK interface was based on the following design standards: • IEEE1394 Std 1394a-2000 (Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus) • A&M Protocol (Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.1) • DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) i.LINK component USING i.LINK Basic i.LINK operations Notes ■ Assigning i.LINK components When an i.LINK component is connected, this unit automatically recognizes the connection and registers up to 16 i.LINK components. Assigning an i.LINK component to a specific input allows you to select video and audio input signals from that component received via the i.LINK connection for simultaneous playback. Turn on the power of this unit and the connected i.LINK component. The i.LINK component is automatically recognized and registered in the following order: DVD → DTV → CBL/SAT → VCR1 → DVR/VCR2 → V-AUX → PHONO → CD → CD-R → MD/TAPE “LINK CHECK” flashes on the front panel display during this procedure. Notes • If you want to change the input assignment of a registered i.LINK component, use Input Assign in the GUI menu (see page 93) or INPUT ASSIGN in the front panel display system options menu (see page 90). • Only one i.LINK component is assigned to each input and inputs that are already assigned are skipped. • If i.LINK components are assigned to all the inputs available, no more i.LINK components can be assigned, and audio signals input from these i.LINK components cannot be played back on this unit. • You can turn on/off automatic playback when an i.LINK component is selected using the INPUT selector or to select whether you want the input to switch automatically when an input stream from a connected i.LINK component is detected (see page 93). • Audio signals input at the i.LINK jacks are digitally output only when AUDIO SELECT is set to either AUTO or i.LINK as the input mode and REC OUT/ZONE 2 on the front panel is set to SOURCE/REMOTE.

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS What is a sound field? A significant factor that creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting. ■ Elements of a sound field In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field: Changing parameter settings You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial settings, you can change some of the parameters to better suit the input source or your listening room. The following parameters are not always found in every program. 1 Set AMP/SOURCE/TV to AMP, then press TOP on the remote control. AMP TOP TITLE SOURCE Early reflections Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only – for example, from the ceiling or a wall. Early reflections help add clarity to the direct sound. TV 2 Select Stereo/Surround, then press h. Reverberations These are caused by reflections from more than one surface – walls, ceiling, the back of the room – so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the clarity of the direct sound. Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this information that the digital sound field processor reproduces in order to create sound fields. If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field processor. STEREO 3 MUSIC Munich ENTERTAINMENT Vienna MOVIE THEATER Freiburg Select the desired sound field program, then press h to access and adjust. Munich DSP Level Vienna Init. Delay Freiburg Room Size Note You cannot change parameter values when Memory Guard is set to “On”. If you want to change the parameter values, set Memory Guard to “Off” (see page 68). ■ Resetting parameters to the factory values To reset all parameters Use Sur.Initialize (see page 67). 99 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Memory back-up The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost even if this unit is set in the standby mode, the power cable is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to power failure. However, if the power is cut for more than one week, the parameter values will return to the factory settings. If this happens, edit the parameter value again. SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ■ DSP Level (DSP level) Function: Description: Adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range. Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect level relative to the level of the direct sound. Control Range: –6 dB to +3 dB ■ Init. Delay (Initial delay) Function: Description: Control range: Changes the apparent distance the sound source is from the reflection face by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the closer the reflection face seems to the sound source. The larger the value, the farther it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a large value. 1 to 99 ms Source sound Time Initial delay Level Level Level Early reflections Initial delay Time Initial delay Time Sound source Reflection face Small value = 1 ms Large value = 99 ms ■ Room Size (Room size) Function: Description: Control range: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room. 0.1 to 2.0 Time Early reflections Time Level Level Level Source sound Time Sound source Small value = 0.1 100 Large value = 2.0 SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ Liveness (Liveness) Function: Description: Control range: Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a source sound decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room. 0 to 10 Source sound Time Level Dead Level Level Live Time Small reflected sound Small value = 0 Time Large reflected sound Large value = 10 ■ Sur.Init.Delay (Surround initial delay) Function: Control range: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the sound field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two surround channels are used. 1 to 49 ms ■ Sur.Room Size (Surround room size) Function: Control range: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. 0.1 to 2.0 ■ Sur.Liveness (Surround liveness) Function: Control range: Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field. 0 to 10 ■ SB.Init.Delay (Surround back initial delay) Function: Control range: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround back sound field. 1 to 49 ms ■ SB.Room Size (Surround back room size) Function: Control range: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround back sound field. 0.1 to 2.0 Function: Control range: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ■ SB.Liveness (Surround back liveness) Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the surround back sound field. 0 to 10 101 SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ Rev. Time (Reverberation time) Function: Description: Control range: Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. The longer the reverberation time, the more “live” the listening room environment seems. The shorter the reverberation time, the more “dead” the listening room environment seems. 1.0 to 5.0 s Source sound Reverberation Reverberation Early reflections 60 dB 60 dB Reverberation time Sound source 60 dB Reverberation time Reverberation time Short reverberation Long reverberation Large value = 5.0 s Small value = 1.0 s ■ Rev. Delay (Reverberation delay) Function: Description: Level Control range: Adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment. 0 to 250 ms Source sound (dB) 60 dB Reverberation Time Reverberation delay Reverberation time ■ Rev. Level (Reverberation level) Adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes. 0 to 100% Level Function: Description: Control range: Source sound Reverberation level Time 102 SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ Dialogue Lift (Dialog lift) Function: Description: Choices: Adjusts the height of the front and center channel sounds by assigning some of the front and center channel elements to the presence speakers. The larger the parameter, the higher the position of the front and center channel sound. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 For 7ch Stereo Function: Control range: Adjusts the volume level for each channel in 7-channel stereo mode. 0 – 100% Center Level (Center level) Surround L Level (Surround left level) Surround R Level (Surround right level) Sur.

It provides 5 full-range audio channels; 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels. An additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect) is also provided giving the system a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as a 0.1 channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The wide dynamic range (maximum to minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the precise sound orientation generated using digital sound processing provide listeners with a previously unheard of excitement and realism. ■ Dolby Digital EX Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done by using a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the 2 in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially with scenes that have “flyover” and “fly-around” effects. ■ Dolby Pro Logic Dolby Pro Logic is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software. This new technology enables a 5-channel playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic technology). Music and Game modes are also available for 2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode. ■ Dolby Pro Logic x Dolby Pro Logic x is a new technology enabling 6.1 or 7.1 multi-channel playback from 2-channel or multichannel sources. There is a Music mode for music, a Movie mode for movies and a Game mode for games. 110 ■ Dolby Surround Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a surround channel for special sound effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to enhance moving sound effects and directionality. ■ DSD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology stores audio signals on digital storage media, such as Super Audio CDs. Using DSD, signals are stored as single bit values at a high-frequency sampling rate of approximately 2.8224 MHz, while noise shaping and oversampling are used to reduce distortion, a common occurrence with very high quantization of audio signals. Due to the a high sampling rate, better audio quality can be achieved than that offered by the PCM format used for normal audio CDs. ■ DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz sampling rate). “24” refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-motion video for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video. ■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital Surround DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc. has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1-channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding a surround back channel to the existing 5.1-channel format. GLOSSARY ■ Neo:6 Neo:6 decodes conventional 2-channel sources for 6 channel playback by. It enables playback with the fullrange channels with higher separation comparable to digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources and “Cinema mode” for movies. ■ PCM (Linear PCM) Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without using any compression. This is used as a method of recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and then modulated for recording. ■ SRS CS (SRS Circle Surround ) SRS CS (SRS Circle Surround ) is a high-performance 6.1 channel matrix surround sound decoding system. It is the next-generation of the original SRS Circle Surround technology, incorporating powerful industry-first features including the dialog clarity enhancement technology and added cinema-like bass to the front channels and subwoofer. Sound field programs ■ CINEMA DSP Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and audio experience of a movie theater in the listening room of your own home. ■ SILENT CINEMA ■ Virtual CINEMA DSP ■ ASA (Advanced Speaker Array) ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed to 2 side and 2 back surround speakers to provide the optimal surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer) placing the two Surround Back speakers close together facing the front of the room will provide the largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to place the Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to go THX Audio Set-up screen and choose the setting that most closely corresponds to the speaker spacing, which will re-optimized the surround sound-field. ASA is used in three new modes: THX Select2 Cinema, THX Music Mode and THX Games Mode. ■ ITU-R ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R recommends a standard speaker placement which is used in many critical listening rooms, such as mastering studios. ■ LFE 0.1 channel This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems. ■ Sampling frequency and number of quantized bits When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric value is called the number of quantized bits. The range of rates that can be played back is determined based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range representing the sound level difference is determined by the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies that can be played back, and the higher the number of quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be reproduced. YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects without any surround speakers by using virtual surround speakers. It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center speaker. 111 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed on headphones. Audio information GLOSSARY ■ THX Cinema processing THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theatre environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX). Adaptive decorrelation In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This expands the listening position and creates – with only two speakers – the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre. Re-equalization The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theatres using very different professional equipment. Re-equalization restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a small home environment. Timbre matching The human ear changes our perception of sound depending on the direction from which it is coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located to the side of your head. The timbre matching feature filters the information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers. 112 ■ THX Games Mode For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the THX Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0 encoded game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game audio surround information, providing a full 360 degree playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it gives you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the surround field. ■ THX Music Mode For the replay of multi-channel music the THX Music Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS, Dolby Digital and DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable rear soundstage. ■ THX Select2 Before any home theatre component can be THX Select2 certified, it must incorporate all the features described in THX Cinema processing and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Select2 logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX Select2 requirements cover every aspect of the product including power amplifier and pre-amplifier performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain. ■ THX Select2 Cinema mode THX Select2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this mode ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and back surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sounds. DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected in THX Select2 Cinema mode if the appropriate flag has been encoded. Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital flag that allows automatic switching. If you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround EX playback mode; otherwise, THX Select2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay. GLOSSARY ■ THX Surround EX THX Surround EX-Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd. In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before. Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com. A list of available DVD software titles encoded with this technology can be found at www.thx.com. Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home. This product may also engage the THX Surround EX mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such cases the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener. Video signal information ■ Component video signal With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is independent. The component signal is also called the “color difference signal” because the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to use the component signal for output. ■ Composite video signal With the composite video signal system, the video signal is composed of three basic elements of a video picture; color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite video jack on a video component transmits these three elements combined. ■ S-video signal With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 113 PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER INFORMATION PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER INFORMATION This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology, together with the Parametric EQ settings (see page 59), to optimize the frequency characteristics of its parametric equalizer to match your listening environment. YPAO uses a combination of the following three parameters (Frequency, Gain and Q factor) to provide highly precise adjustment of the frequency characteristics. ■ Q factor The width of the specified frequency band is referred to as the Q factor. This parameter is adjustable between the values 0.5 and 10. ■ Frequency This parameter is adjustable in one-third octave increments between 63 Hz and 16 kHz. ■ Gain This parameter is adjustable in increments of 0.5 dB between –20 and +6 dB. YPAO adjusts frequency characteristics to suit your listening requirements using a combination of the above three parameters (Frequency, Gain and Q factor) for each equalizer band in this unit’s parametric equalizer. This unit has 7 equalizer bands for each channel. The use of multiple equalizer bands enables more precise adjustments of frequency characteristics (as in Figure 2). This is not possible using only a single equalizer band (as in Figure 1).
