FEATURES

■ Built-in 8-channel power amplifier

• Main: 130 W + 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

• Center: 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

• Rear: 130 W + 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

• Rear center: 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

■ Digital Sound Fields (DSP)

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision,

and power. However, something has been missing: the atmosphere and acoustic ambience of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have

extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters

and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used

to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields have been created using data measured at the

original venue; others have been created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Some have been

designed especially for music, and others especially for movies. Of course, this only solves half of the problem. Because these engineers have

no way of knowing the acoustics of your entertainment room, we have made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data

to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following

surround sound technologies.

■ CINEMA-DSP: Dolby Digital + DSP and DTS + DSP

The Dolby Digital system and DTS system show their full capability in large movie theaters, because feature film soundtracks are designed

to be reproduced in such environments. It is difficult to recreate a sound environment similar to a movie theater in your entertainment room

because of the room size, wall materials, and the number of speakers in your entertainment system. Yamaha DSP technology makes it

possible for you to enjoy nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your entertainment room by compensating for

lack of presence and dynamics in your entertainment room with Yamaha's original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Digital or DTS

soundtracks.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT CINEMA DSP

Yamaha developed the Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm which allows you to experience the virtual sound fields without surround speakers.

This makes it possible for the DSP-AZ1 to produce a full surround sound catering to the number of speakers you have. The DSP-AZ1 also

has a SILENT CINEMA DSP algorithm which is achieved by the crosstalk processing applying the precise Head Related Transfer Function.

You can therefore enjoy listening to the CINEMA DSP soundfields on headphones.

■ Various decoders to support the newest sound effect technology

This unit is equipped with the following signal format decoders.

• Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX

The Matrix decoder enables 6.1-channel playback of the 5.1-channel sources by extracting the rear center channel signals from the rear L/R

channel signals.

• DOLBY PRO LOGIC

DOLBY PRO LOGIC is the improved technique to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This new technology

enables a discrete 5-channel playback with two left and right main channels, a center channel, and two left and right rear channels compared

with one limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic technology. Also the music mode is available for 2-channel sources in addition

to the movie mode.

• DTS and DTS ES

The DSP-AZ1 is also equipped with a DTS decoder, which uses a 5.1-channel system to create a full surround sound environment. It was

developed as a way to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six channels of digital sound. In comparison with Dolby Digital, DTS

uses less compression to store the sound information. The newly presented DTS ES system reproduces digital sound similar to Dolby Digital

EX. The use of the rear center speaker along with the existing 5.1-channel speakers provides a fully immersive cinematic audio experience.

• DTS Neo: 6

Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6-channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range

channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources

and “Cinema mode” for movies.

• DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1 channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz/24 bit.

E-5

INTRODUCTION

English

■ Various input and output jacks

The DSP-AZ1 has various output jacks for audio and video signals as well as a digital recording output jack. Many input jacks are also

available for connection to multiple audio-video sources. All the video inputs and outputs have S-video jacks in addition to standard

composite video jacks for improved video picture quality. Component video input and output jacks are also available to deliver the excellent

video signals from DVD players and other high quality video sources. The coaxial and optical digital signal jacks (provided for direct

transmission of digital signals) automatically detect Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM signals. A demodulator circuit is built into the Dolby

Digital RF input so you can connect it directly to the Dolby Digital RF signal output on your LD player. Additionally, there are six audio

inputs for discrete multichannel reproduction from an external decoder.

The DSP-AZ1 also comes with a monaural subwoofer jack and split subwoofer jacks which can reproduce delicate but powerful low

frequency effects.

■ Multi-function remote control

The remote control can operate other audio-video components once you program the remote control using the manufacturer code and Learn

feature.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

■ Installing batteries in the remote control

Open the battery compartment cover.

Insert three supplied batteries (LR6) in the correct

direction by aligning the + and – marks on the

batteries with the polarity markings (+ and –) on the

inside of the battery compartment.

Replace the cover as pressing until it snaps into

place.

Cautions

• Insert the batteries in the correct direction by aligning the + and –

marks on the batteries with the polarity illustrations (+ and –)

inside the battery compartment.

• Change the batteries periodically.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and

manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as

these different types of batteries may have the same shape and

color.

RESET

■ About changing batteries

As the batteries wear out, the operating range of the remote control

decreases and the TRANSMIT indicator does not flash or its light

becomes dim. When you notice any of these conditions, change all

of the batteries. After you insert new batteries, be sure to push

RESET in the battery compartment using a ball point pen or similar

object before using the remote control. (This does not clear the

contents of the memory.)

Caution

• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 3 minutes,

or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote control, the contents

of the memory may be cleared. When the memory is cleared,

insert new batteries, set up the manufacturer code and program

any acquired functions that may have been cleared.

■ Using the remote control

The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be sure to

aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the

main unit during operation.

Cautions

• When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the

remote control and the main unit, the sensor cannot receive

signals.

• The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is

exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a

fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of

the light or reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

• Handle the remote control with care.

• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right main speakers, a center speaker, the left and right rear

speakers, the left and right front effect speakers, and a rear center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for

speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to

produce a fuller sound.

■ 8-speaker configuration –full CINEMA-DSP–

When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack

audio. The dialogue is positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is positioned slightly behind the screen,

and the soundtrack music is positioned even further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation. This

configuration makes the most of this unit's capability.

■ 6-speaker configuration –Hi-Fi DSP–

This configuration is used the most for audio playback with Hi-Fi DSP. It does not position the dialogue sound as well as a 7- or 8-speaker

configuration. However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field which adds depth to the sound.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

■ 5-speaker configuration –standard 5.1 channel–

This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the 7- or 8-speaker configuration. However, it positions the

dialogue sound as coming directly from the screen.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

■ 4-speaker configuration –minimum requirement–

In this configuration, the center speaker signals and front effect speaker signals are directed to the left and right main speakers.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE”, item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE”, and item

“1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

■ Speaker configurations and speaker mode

Select the appropriate speaker mode depending on the speaker configuration. See “SPEAKER MODE SETTINGS” on page 34 for details.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Caution

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the

monitor.

■ Placing the main speakers

Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position.

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each

side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.

■ Placing the center speaker

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the center

speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as

possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the

monitor, the front effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the

action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen

in your system, place the center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker

with the center of the screen.

■ Placing the front effect, rear and rear center speakers

These speakers should be placed about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 feet) outside the main speakers

and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position.

Place the rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position.

The rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the front effect speakers. Place these

speakers at the height of 1.5 m when listening as sitting on the floor or 1.8 m when

listening as sitting on the chair.

Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement until you

obtain a balanced sound from the main speakers and the front effect and rear speakers.

This distance can be farther than the front

effect speakers’.

(3ft) (1 - 3ft) (5 - 15ft) (1 - 3ft) (3ft)

■ When you use a projection screen

Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.

The main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of

the screen.

Place the center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The center speaker

provides precise dialogue localization.

When you use a projection screen with your system, the front effect speakers provide

better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs (see pages 90 to 94) raise

the sound from the center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding with

the video images.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

■ Placing the subwoofers

Place the front subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

If you use a rear subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The placement of the rear subwoofer is not critical because of the

ultra low frequencies of the sound being reproduced.

By adding a high quality subwoofer to the speaker configurations shown on page 14, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic movie

effects, even if your main speakers are large.

Note

• If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your configuration, the tone of a moving human voice and other

types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal

quality.

You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the SET MENU (see pages 56 and 57).

If you are using small speakers, the addition of a subwoofer will reinforce the sound effects of movies.

1 Composite VIDEO jack

Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional

composite video signals.

2 S VIDEO jack

Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into

luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals

achieve high quality color reproduction. When you are using the S

VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came

with the component being connected.

3 COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are

separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR)

video signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal.

The labels of the component video jacks may be different depend-

ing on the component (e.g. Y, C

B, CR / Y, PB, PR / Y, B-Y, R-Y/ etc.).

Component video signals provide the best quality in picture

reproduction. When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO

jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the

component being connected.

Cautions

• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to

the S VIDEO jacks, and commercially available video cables

when connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input

through the composite video, S-video, and component jacks are

output through the corresponding composite video, S-video, and

component jacks respectively.

• If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT

VIDEO jacks of this unit, the OSD is not shown.

Note

• You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A, B

and C jacks according to your component by using “8 I/O

ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page 58 for details).

Connecting speakers

• 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.

• Connect the speaker cables with care to avoid creating a short

circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this

unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automati-

cally shuts off the power.

After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to

change the signal output settings according to the number and size

of the speakers in your configuration.

ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD)

You can display the operation information for this unit on a video monitor. If you display the SET MENU and DSP sound field program

parameter settings on a screen, it is much easier to see the available options and parameters than it is by reading this information on the front

panel display.

Notes

• If a video source is being reproduced, the OSD is superimposed over the image.

• The OSD signal is not output through the REC OUT selector, and will not be recorded with any video signal.

OSD modes

You can change the amount of information the OSD shows.

Full display: This mode always shows the sound field program parameter settings on the video monitor (see page 95).

Short display: This mode briefly shows the same contents as the front panel display at the bottom of the screen, then disappears.

Display off: This mode briefly shows the “DISPLAY OFF” message at the bottom of the screen, then disappears. Afterwards, no

changes to operations appear on the screen except those of the ON SCREEN.

Notes

• The SET MENU, “TEST DOLBY SUR.” and “TEST DSP” appear regardless of the OSD mode.

• When you choose the Full Display mode, INPUT SELECTOR, VOLUME and some other types of operation information are displayed at

the bottom of the screen in the same format as the front panel display.

Selecting the OSD mode

Turn on the video monitor connected to this unit.

Press ON SCREEN on the remote control repeatedly

to change the display mode.

The OSD mode changes in the following order: full display,

short display, and display off.

Cautions

• If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT

VIDEO terminals of this unit, the OSD is not shown.

• If you choose a video input source that has component connected

to both the S VIDEO IN and composite VIDEO IN jacks, and both

the S VIDEO OUT and composite VIDEO OUT jacks are

connected to a video monitor, the video signal is output to both the

S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT jacks. However, the OSD is

carried only on the S-video signal. If no video signal is input, the

OSD is carried on both the S-video and composite video signals.

• Playing back video software that has an anti-copy signal or video

signals with a lot of noise may produce unstable images.

This unit uses front effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources of the sound field programs. If you do not use front effect speakers,

you can direct the front effect signals to the main speakers.

The OSD shows small or no front effect speakers depending on how you set this item. The initial setting is “YES”.

YES: Select the “YES” setting if you use front effect speakers.

NONE: Select the “NONE” setting if you do not use front effect speakers. The front effect signals are mixed with the main channels.

■ 1G MAIN LEVEL

Change this setting if you cannot match the sound volume of the front effect, rear, center, and rear center speakers with the main speakers

because of the unusually high efficiency performance of the main speakers. The initial setting is “Normal”.

Normal: Select the “Normal” setting if you can match the volume of your effect speakers with the volume of your main speakers using the

“TEST DOLBY SUR.”.

–10dB: Select the “–10dB” setting if you cannot match the volume of your effect speakers with the volume of your main speakers using

the “TEST DOLBY SUR.”.

LEFT

Press +/– repeatedly to adjust the output level of the

effect speakers so that the output level coming from

each speaker is the same.

Each speaker level can be adjusted in the range of –10 to +10

dB.

While adjusting, the test tone is heard from the selected

speaker.

Cautions

• If “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to “NONE”,

the center channel sound is automatically output from the left

and right main speakers.

• If “1D REAR CT SP” on the SET MENU is set to “NONE”,

the output level of the rear center speaker cannot be adjusted

in step 3.

• Main L/R speaker level cannot be adjusted by itself. Use

VOLUME to adjust the main volume.

Press TEST to enter the TEST DSP mode.

Press TEST again to stop the test tone and the DSP program

name appears on the front panel display and the video monitor.

Notes

• The tonal quality of the speakers can be adjusted using the “4

CENTER GEQ”, “5 REAR CT GEQ”, and “6 CINEMA EQ”

items in the SET MENU (see pages 55 to 57).

• You can increase the output levels of the effect channels (left rear,

right rear, rear renter and center) to +10 dB. If the output level of

the center, rear, and rear center speakers is lower than that from

the main speakers even after you have increased the sound volume

level of the center, rear, and rear center speakers up to +10 dB, set

the “1G MAIN LEVEL” item in the SET MENU to “–10dB”.

Setting the “1G MAIN LEVEL” item to this setting decreases the

main speaker volume level to about one-third the normal level.

After you set the “1G MAIN LEVEL” item in the SET MENU to

“–10dB”, adjust the levels for the center, rear, and rear center

speakers again.

• The adjustment of output levels of the center speaker, and left and

right rear speakers is also effective to the speaker output level

during the playback of the source connected to 6CH INPUT jacks.

■ Notes on the digital signal

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle up to 192 kHz

sampling digital signal. Both OPTICAL and COAXIAL input jacks

can be used to input the digital signal up to 96 kHz. However when

inputting the higher digital signals than 96 kHz, be aware the

following points.

• DSP programs cannot be selected. Sound will be output as normal

2-channel stereo sound from only the left and right main speakers.

• Use the coaxial input (COAXIAL IN) jack to input over 96 kHz

digital signal. The signals may not be correctly played back if the

optical input (OPTICAL IN) jack is used.

• Level adjustment for effect speakers excluding a subwoofer is not

possible.

Sound effects will be added to 96 kHz sampling digital signals after

converted to 48 kHz.

BASIC PLAYBACK

■ Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs

• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any

way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you

make a digital connection between this unit and the player.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input

mode to “ANALOG”, this unit may reproduce the noise of an

unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, connect the source to a

digital input jack and set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS”.

• If you switch the input mode to “ANALOG” while playing a

source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input

mode set to “AUTO”, this unit automatically switches to the DTS-

decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up.) after having

detected the DTS signal. When playback of the DTS source is

completed, the “t” indicator may flash. While this indicator is

flashing, only DTS source can be played. If you want to play a

normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to “AUTO”.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input

mode set to “AUTO”, the “t” indicator may flash when a

search or skip operation is performed while the DTS source is

playing back with the input mode set to “AUTO”. If this status

continues for longer than 30 seconds, this unit will automatically

switch from “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input

mode. The “t” indicator will turn off.

■ Notes on playing an LD source

• For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack,

connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode

to “AUTO” or “ANALOG”.

• If the LD player is transmitting a signal by a non-standard method,

this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this

case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

• Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio

signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input

mode as necessary.

• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded

with a Dolby Digital signal, if you switch from the pause or

chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the

PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital signal is

played. In this case, set the input mode to “D.D.RF”.

E-46

BASIC PLAYBACK

Selecting a sound field program

You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a DSP program. There are 12 programs with sub-programs available with this unit.

However the selection depends on the input signal format and not all the sub-programs are possible for all input signal formats. For details

about each program, see pages 86 to 94.

Set 10KEY/DSP to DSP on the remote control.

Press PROGRAM q/w (one of the DSP program

buttons on the remote control) to select the desired

program.

After selecting the desired program, press the same button

repeatedly to select the desired sub-program if available.

• Example: Each time MOVIE THEATER 1 is pressed the

subprograms (“Spectacle” and “Sci-Fi”) switch.

Cautions

• If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode

is set to “AUTO”, the DSP program automatically switches to

the appropriate decoding program.

• Choose a DSP program based on your listening preference,

and not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your

listening room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound

reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the

program.

• When you select an input source, this unit automatically

selects the last DSP program used with that source.

• When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current

source and DSP program are memorized and are automati-

cally selected when you turn on the power again.

• When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this

unit is selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be

used.

• While the over 96 kHz sampling digital signals are being

input, sound effects cannot be added and only normal stereo

playback is possible.

• Sound effects will be added to 96 kHz sampling digital

signals after converted to 48 kHz.

or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 to the source you want

to record.

Start playback (or select a broadcast station) on the

source component.

Start recording on the recording component.

Notes

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

• It is not possible to record the sound effect created by this unit’s

DSP processing.

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

between other components connected to this unit.

• Operating BASS and TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, BAL-

ANCE, VOLUME, and DSP programs do not affect the recorded

signal.

• Setting REC OUT/ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE and using

the BGV function (see page 43) allows the recording of audio and

video from a different source.

• Use INPUT SELECTOR to switch the source from the one you

are watching or listening to while making recordings with REC

OUT/ZONE 2 set to the source component you are recording

from.

Cautions

• 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.)

• 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 by

your VCR.

• DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are

independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL

OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.

• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot

be recorded.

• The LD q RF (AC-3) input signal cannot be output using REC

OUT/ZONE 2.

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records,

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

■ 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 LDs, 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.

Press +/– to set “TEST TONE” to “ON”.

Cautions

• “ON” cannot be selected when the headphones are being used.

• Setting turns to “OFF” if the headphones are connected during testing.

• While the test tone is being output, the source sound cannot be output.

Adjust the volume with VOLUME +/– so you can hear the tone.

Cautions

• Do not turn up the volume too high.

• If no test tone is heard, turn down the volume, set this unit in the standby mode and

make sure all the necessary connections are correct.

Press to go to “OUTPUT” and press +/– to select the speaker you

want to compare with the subwoofer.

If “SWFR” is selected, the test tone above 90 Hz will not be output from the

subwoofer. The test tone will not necessarily be output from the selected speakers.

The output mode of the test tone depends on the settings of “1 SPEAKER SET” on

the SET MENU.

Press to go to “FREQ.” and press +/– to select the frequency you want

to use.

Set the center frequency (35 – 250 Hz or “35-250Hz”) to check that the subwoofer

level matches that of the other speakers.

Adjust the volume of the subwoofer with the controls on the subwoofer

so it matches that of the speaker you are comparing it to.

■ About the test tone

• The test tone is produced by the tone generator.

The tone generator produces a narrow-band noise centered on a specified frequency by

the band pass filter.

• You can change this center frequency from 35 Hz through 250 Hz in one-sixth octave

steps.

• You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the subwoofer level, but also for

checking the low-frequency characteristics of your listening room. Low-frequency

sounds are especially affected by the listener’s position, speaker placement, subwoofer

polarity and other conditions.

6 CINEMA EQ

Use this feature to match the tonal quality of four groups of speakers: the main and center speaker group, the front effect speakers group, the

rear speakers group, and the rear center speaker group. CINEMA-EQ consists of a high-shelving equalizer (HIGH) and a parametric

equalizer (PEQ). The high-shelving equalizer changes high frequency characteristics, and the parametric equalizer boosts or cuts any selected

frequency. The equalizer can be used for a variety of purposes, such as adjusting the tonal quality of differing types of speakers, adjusting the

tonal quality in different installation environments, or adjusting the source sound to your liking.

Press / repeatedly to select one of the speaker groups and press +/–

to select “ON”.

Press / several times to display the setting screen for the channel to

be set.

13 SP DELAY

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center and the rear center channel sounds. This feature works when there is sound output from the

center speakers, with a source like Dolby Digital or DTS, etc.

Ideally, the center speaker and the rear center speaker should be the same distance from

the main listening position as the left and right main speakers. However, in most home

situations, the center speaker or the rear center speaker is placed in line with the main

speakers or the rear speakers. By delaying the sound from the center speaker and the rear

center speaker, the apparent distance from the center speaker and the rear center speaker

to the main listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance

between the left and right main speaker, and the left and right rear speakers to the listening

position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is especially important for giving

depth to the dialogue.

using the input selector buttons.

Press and hold LEARN for about 3 seconds by using

a ballpoint pen or similar object.

“SETUP” and the selected component name appear alternately

in the display window.

Cautions

• If you do not press any button within 30 seconds during step

3, the setup process is canceled. If this happens, start over

from step 2.

• Press LEARN for at least 3 seconds, otherwise the learning

process is started.

Press / to select the name of your component’s

manufacturer.

You will find the names of most worldwide audio-video

manufacturers in alphabetical order in the display window.

control while pointing it at the component to check if

you have set up the code correctly.

If the component cannot be controlled by the remote control,

try entering another code for the same manufacturer.

Press LEARN again to exit from the setup mode.

Cautions

• Supplied remote control does not store all the manufacturer codes

for commercially available AV components (including Yamaha AV

components). Therefore it may not work to operate your AV

component. If operation is not possible with any of the manufac-

turer codes, program the new remote control function with the

Learn feature (see pages 68 and 69) or use the remote control for

the component.

• Only one manufacturer code can be set for each input selector

button.

• If you have already programmed a remote control function for a

button, the function by learning or macro programming takes

priority over the setup manufacturer code’s function.

• “ERROR” appears in the display window under the following

circumstances:

1 when pressing more than one button at once

2 when MACRO ON/OFF, 10KEY/DSP or PARAMETER/

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

■ Changing the component category (Library)

Although a component category (Library) is preset for each input

selector button, you can change it. For example, “VCR” is preset in

V-AUX. If you want to operate your TV with V-AUX, you can

change Library to TV.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 of the procedure in “Setting the

manufacturer code”.

Select a Library (component category) by using q/w.

There are 13 Libraries to set up a manufacturer code; L:AMP,

L:TV, L:CAB (CABLE), L:DBS, L:SAT, L:VCR, L:DVD,

L:LD, L:CD, L:CDR (CD-R), L:MD, L:TAP (TAPE), L:TUN

(TUNER).

Repeat steps 3 and 4 of the procedure in “Setting the

manufacturer code”.

ENTER

■ Amplifier Library (L:AMP)

The code to operate this unit has been preset in the supplied remote

control. However you can change the code in Amplifier Library if

necessary.

Amplifier Library has the following three codes;

YPC: Code to operate this unit

DSP: Code to operate other Yamaha DSP amplifiers that cannot be

operated with the YPC code

No: Code to operate other manufacturers’ amplifier using this

unit’s remote control

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

Using the Macro feature

The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations by pressing just one 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 those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The macro buttons (the input selector buttons, SYSTEM POWER and

STANDBY) are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see pages 76 and 77).

In order to turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit, connect those components to the AC

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

refer to the operation instruction for the connected component.)

If the macro you select includes power control functions, the component may be turned off if it is already on when you press the macro

button. For example, if your TV is on and you press the SYSTEM POWER macro button, the TV is turned off.

Playback can be started with any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorders, CD players, CD recorders and DVD players. When

using macros to operate other components, it is either necessary to program PLAY on the control area of that component (see pages 68

and 69) or to set up a manufacturer code (see page 66).

When TUNER is selected as the input source, this unit receives the last station when this unit is set in the standby mode.

■ Programming a macro

You can program your own macros and use the Macro feature to

transmit many remote control commands by pressing a single

button.

Cautions

• The factory-set macro is not cleared when a new macro is

programmed for a button. The factory-set macro can be used again

when the programmed macro is cleared.

• It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the factory-

set macro. Programming a macro changes all macro contents.

• A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or

YAMAHA preset) button signals of this remote control to a macro

button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or program a

function with the remote control for your component.

• This remote control handles button signals that operate continu-

ously, such as volume control, as short time interval codes. Macro

programming that include these types of macro steps are therefore

not recommended.

Press MACRO by using a ballpoint pen or similar

object.

“MCR ?” appears in the display window.

Caution

• If you do not press any button within 30 seconds during steps

2 and 3, the macro programming process is canceled. If this

happens, start over from step 1.

Press a macro button for which you want to program

the macro operation.

The button you chose for programming the macro operation

and the selected component name appear alternately in the

display window.

Example: Programming a macro for DVD

“M:DVD” and “DVD” appear alternately.

ZONE 2

You can make up a multi-room audio-video system with this unit. With this feature, you can set this unit to reproduce separate input sources

in the main room and second (Zone 2) room using the supplied remote control in the second room.

ONLY ANALOG SIGNALS ARE SENT TO THE SECOND ROOM. FOR ANY SOURCE YOU WISH TO LISTEN TO IN THE

SECOND ROOM, YOU MUST CONNECT THE ANALOG OUTPUT FROM THE SOURCE TO THE CORRESPONDING ANA-

LOG INPUT ON THIS UNIT.

Connections

To use the multi-room functions of this unit, you need the following additional equipment:

• An infrared signal receiver in the second room

• An infrared emitter in the main room

This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second room to the main room (for example, to a CD player or LD

player).

• An amplifier and speakers for the second room

• A video monitor for the second room

Cautions

• Since there are so many ways to connect and use this unit in a

multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult with a

custom installation specialist for the Zone 2 connections which

will best meet your requirements.

• Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the RE-

MOTE 1 OUT jacks of 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.

■ A sample of system configuration and connections

■ Special considerations when using DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to Zone 2, you will only be able to hear the digital

noise that could damage your loudspeakers.

Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.

For DTS encoded LDs or DVDs

Only 2-channel audio signals may be sent to Zone 2. Set your Laser Disc/DVD player’s left and right outputs to the analog sound track.

For DTS encoded compact discs

DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with DTS encoded compact discs.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)

Understanding sound fields

A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a particular space”. In

concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations as well

as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and

other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special

and recognizable sound quality.

Yamaha sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound

reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field

information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections.

Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit.

■ Early reflections

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 80 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only — for

example, from the ceiling or a wall. These reflections provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually 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.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)

Recreating a sound field

Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the

virtual sound sources in your listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only

two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. Yamaha’s DSP requires

four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The

processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect

speakers to localize the virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.

The DSP sound field programs can be classified in two types based on the sound field

processing method: programs that use early reflections only and programs that use both

early reflections and reverberation.

Illustration of the virtual sound sources and echo patterns

The virtual sound sources and echo patterns for the DSP sound field programs are shown below. The illustration of the virtual sound sources

shows early reflection sound only and the illustration of the echo patterns shows both reflected sound and reverberation.

■ Virtual sound sources

HI-FI DSP-SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

Programs and features

• These programs are the most suitable for the stereo music sources such as CDs.

• Sound field is created using four effect speakers (front L, front R, rear L and rear R) in addition to the main speakers.

• When “8ch Stereo” is selected, input signals are output from the all speakers that have been set on the SET MENU.

• Appropriate decoders automatically turn on depending on the input signals.

Caution

• The sound field programs for this unit are designed based upon the detailed information that Yamaha sound engineers have collected by

measuring the sound effect characteristics at the actual concert halls and music venues all over the world. Therefore you may find some

difference in reverberation and volume of the sounds that are output from each of your speakers.

from all directions emphasize the extension

of sounds. The sound field has a great deal

of presence, and your virtual seat is near the

center, close to the stage.

CHURCH

■ Tokyo

The acoustic environment of an ordinary

church with moderate reverberations. The

reverberation lasts 2.5 seconds. This is ideal

for reproducing church organ and choral

music.

■ Freiburg

This program recreates the acoustic

environment of a big church located in

south Germany. The reverberation delay is

very long while the early reflections are

smaller than with other sound field

programs.

■ Royaumont

This program features the sound field

created by the refectory (dining hall) of a

beautiful medieval Gothic monastery

located in Royaumont on the outskirts of

Paris.

The sound design of CINEMA-DSP sound field programs

Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and

the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen.

CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP integrates the DTS,

Dolby Digital, and DOLBY PRO LOGIC surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide the surround

sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, Yamaha’s

exclusive DSP processing is added to the front left, center, and right channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound,

smooth transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.

When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound

field program for that signal.

Sound field images of the CINEMA-DSP programs

Each CINEMA-DSP program has its own type of sound field processing block. The sound field data, including the presence and surround

sound fields, are based on actual measured data. The presence and surround sound fields can be expressed in the distribution of virtual sound

sources and echo patterns. However, as these two types of sound fields are processed with complex elements such as energy balance and

mixing signal ratios, they are expressed as a sound field based on auditory perception.

CINEMA-DSP SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

MOVIE THEATER programs

Most movie software has four-channel (left, center, right and surround) sound information encoded using Dolby Surround matrix processing

and stored on the left and right tracks. These signals are processed by the DOLBY PRO LOGIC decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs

are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes.

The six-channel soundtracks found on 70 mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix

processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER 70 mm Programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that six-channel

soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital decoder brings the professional quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With

this unit’s MOVIE THEATER program, you can recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your

living room using the Dolby Digital technology.

■ DOLBY PRO LOGIC + DSP sound field effect

These programs express an immense sound field and a large surround effect. They also

give depth to the sound from the main speakers to recreate the realistic sound of a Dolby

Stereo theater.

• 70mm Spectacle

• 70mm Sci-Fi

• 70mm Adventure

• 70mm General

■ Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect

These programs use Yamaha’s tri-field DSP process on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS

signals for the front, left surround, and right surround channels. This processing enables

this unit to reproduce the immense sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital

or DTS equipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear separation of all channels.

• DGTL/DTS Spectacle

• DGTL/DTS Sci-Fi

• DGTL/DTS Adventure

• DGTL/DTS General

Note

• If a Dolby Digital signal or DTS signal is input when the input mode is set to “AUTO”,

the DSP program will be automatically switched to the Dolby Digital playback sound

field or DTS playback sound field.

■ Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES + DSP sound field effect

These programs provide you the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects since an extra rear center DSP sound field created

from the rear center channel is added.

CINEMA-DSP SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

ENTERTAINMENT

■ Game

This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds

and is also suitable for karaoke.

CONCERT VIDEO 1

■ Pop/Rock

This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel

as if you are at an actual jazz or rock concert.

■ DJ

The sound field makes the voice of a disc jockey sound clearer.

CONCERT VIDEO 2

■ Classical/Opera

This program provides excellent vocal depth and overall clarity by

restraining excessive reverberation.

The surround sound field is relatively moderate but it reproduces

beautiful sound using data collected from a concert hall.

■ Pavilion

This program reproduces vocals clearly, letting you feel the

spaciousness of a pavilion. Reverberation, which is somewhat

delayed, reproduces the live acoustics unique to a pavilion, and

helps to make concert scenes more exciting.

TV THEATER

■ Mono Movie

This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources

(such as old movies). The program produces the optimum rever-

beration to create sound depth using only the presence sound field.

■ Variety/Sports

Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround

sound field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall.

With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs

such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs.

MOVIE THEATER 1

■ Spectacle

This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70 mm

movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail,

making both the video and the sound fields incredibly real. This

program is ideal for any kind of Dolby Surround video source

(especially large-scale movie productions).

■ Sci-Fi

This program clearly reproduces the broad and expansive cinematic

space from the soundtracks of the latest science fiction films.

MOVIE THEATER 2

■ Adventure

This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of

the newest 70 mm and multichannel soundtrack films. The sound

field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so

the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as

possible.

■ General

This program is for reproducing sounds from 70 mm and multichan-

nel soundtrack films, and is characterized by a soft and extensive

sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It

spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the

effect of conversations without losing clarity.

DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS SURROUND

■ Normal/EX/DTS-ES/ES Matrix 6.1/ES Dis-

crete 6.1

The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects

from sources. The highly efficient decoding process improves

crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound positioning

smoother and more precise.

In this program, no DSP effect is applied.

■ Enhanced/EX/ES

This program ideally simulates the multiple surround speaker

systems of 35 mm film theaters. The Dolby Surround decoding and

the digital sound field processing create precise effects without

altering the original sound orientation. The surround effects

produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from

the back to the left and right and toward the screen.

DIGITAL 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.

■ EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim)

Function This parameter adjusts the level of all the effect sounds within a narrow range.

Control range –3 dB – +3 dB

Description Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the effect level relative to the

direct sound.

■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)

Function This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and

the first reflection heard by the listener.

Control range 1 – 99 ms

Description The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the apparent

distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, for a large room, set it to a large value.

■ ROOM SIZE/P. ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field

Function This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound

field becomes.

Control range 0.1 – 2.0

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.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

■ LIVENESS

Function This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections

decay.

Control range 0 – 10

Description The early reflections of a sound source 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.

■ P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)

Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the presence sound field.

Control range 1 – 99 ms

Description The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.

■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)

Function This parameter 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 rear channels are used.

Control range 1 – 49 ms

Description The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. You can only adjust this parameter for the Dolby Digital and DTS

signals.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

■ S. DELAY (Surround Delay)

Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround sound field.

Control range 0 – 49 ms (The range depends on the signal format.)

Description When Dolby Digital signals are decoded: the larger the parameter, the later the surround sound source begins.

When a non-Dolby Digital program is decoded: the larger the parameter, the later the surround sound field begins.

No surround sound source is produced.

■ S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)

Function This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field.

Control range 0.1 – 2.0

Description The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes.

■ S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)

Function This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.

Control range 0 – 10

Description The larger the value, the more reflective the surround sound field walls become.

■ RC INI. DLY (Rear Center Initial Delay)

Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the rear center sound field.

Control range 1 – 49 ms

Description The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.

■ RC ROOM SIZE (Rear Center Room Size)

Function This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the rear center sound field.

Control range 0.1 – 2.0

Description The larger the value, the more reflective the presence sound field walls become.

■ RC LIVENESS (Rear Center Liveness)

Function This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the rear center sound field.

Control range 0 – 10

Description The larger the value, the more reflective the surround sound field walls become.

■ REV. TIME (Reverberation Time)

Function This parameter 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.

Control range 1.0 – 5.0 s

Description Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments and a shorter time for “live” sources

and listening room environments.

■ REV. DELAY (Reverberation Delay)

Function This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverbera-

tion sound.

Control range 0 – 250 ms

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.

■ REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level)

Function This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.

Control range 0 – 100%

However, something has been missing: the atmosphere and acoustic ambience of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields have been created using data measured at the original venue; others have been created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Some have been designed especially for music, and others especially for movies. Of course, this only solves half of the problem. Because these engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your entertainment room, we have made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following surround sound technologies. ■ CINEMA-DSP: Dolby Digital + DSP and DTS + DSP The Dolby Digital system and DTS system show their full capability in large movie theaters, because feature film soundtracks are designed to be reproduced in such environments. It is difficult to recreate a sound environment similar to a movie theater in your entertainment room because of the room size, wall materials, and the number of speakers in your entertainment system. Yamaha DSP technology makes it possible for you to enjoy nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your entertainment room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your entertainment room with Yamaha's original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks. ■ Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT CINEMA DSP Yamaha developed the Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm which allows you to experience the virtual sound fields without surround speakers. This makes it possible for the DSP-AZ1 to produce a full surround sound catering to the number of speakers you have. The DSP-AZ1 also has a SILENT CINEMA DSP algorithm which is achieved by the crosstalk processing applying the precise Head Related Transfer Function. You can therefore enjoy listening to the CINEMA DSP soundfields on headphones. ■ Various decoders to support the newest sound effect technology This unit is equipped with the following signal format decoders. • Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX The Matrix decoder enables 6.1-channel playback of the 5.1-channel sources by extracting the rear center channel signals from the rear L/R channel signals. • DOLBY PRO LOGIC • DOLBY PRO LOGIC DOLBY PRO LOGIC is the improved technique to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with two left and right main channels, a center channel, and two left and right rear channels compared with one limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic technology. Also the music mode is available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie mode. • DTS and DTS ES The DSP-AZ1 is also equipped with a DTS decoder, which uses a 5.1-channel system to create a full surround sound environment. It was developed as a way to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six channels of digital sound. In comparison with Dolby Digital, DTS uses less compression to store the sound information. The newly presented DTS ES system reproduces digital sound similar to Dolby Digital EX. The use of the rear center speaker along with the existing 5.1-channel speakers provides a fully immersive cinematic audio experience. • DTS Neo: 6 Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6-channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources and “Cinema mode” for movies. • DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1 channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz/24 bit. E-4 FEATURES ■ Various input and output jacks INTRODUCTION The DSP-AZ1 has various output jacks for audio and video signals as well as a digital recording output jack. Many input jacks are also available for connection to multiple audio-video sources. All the video inputs and outputs have S-video jacks in addition to standard composite video jacks for improved video picture quality. Component video input and output jacks are also available to deliver the excellent video signals from DVD players and other high quality video sources. The coaxial and optical digital signal jacks (provided for direct transmission of digital signals) automatically detect Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM signals. A demodulator circuit is built into the Dolby Digital RF input so you can connect it directly to the Dolby Digital RF signal output on your LD player. Additionally, there are six audio inputs for discrete multichannel reproduction from an external decoder. The DSP-AZ1 also comes with a monaural subwoofer jack and split subwoofer jacks which can reproduce delicate but powerful low frequency effects. ■ Multi-function remote control The remote control can operate other audio-video components once you program the remote control using the manufacturer code and Learn feature.

If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to produce a fuller sound. Front effect speaker (FR) Front effect speaker (FL) TV (monitor) Main speaker (R) Rear effect speaker (RR) 1.5 – 1.8 m (5 – 6 feet) Center speaker (C) Main speaker (L) Rear center speaker (RC) Rear effect speaker (RL) ■ 8-speaker configuration –full CINEMA-DSP– When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack audio. The dialogue is positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is positioned slightly behind the screen, and the soundtrack music is positioned even further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation. This configuration makes the most of this unit's capability. FL FR C R R R L Speakers to be used • Main L/R • Center • Rear L/R • Front effect L/R • Rear center R L RC ■ 6-speaker configuration –Hi-Fi DSP– This configuration is used the most for audio playback with Hi-Fi DSP. It does not position the dialogue sound as well as a 7- or 8-speaker configuration. However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field which adds depth to the sound. For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”. FL FR R R (R+C) R L R E-14 L (L+C) Speakers to be used • Main L/R • Rear L/R • Front effect L/R SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS ■ 5-speaker configuration –standard 5.1 channel– This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the 7- or 8-speaker configuration. However, it positions the dialogue sound as coming directly from the screen. For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”. L (R+FR) Speakers to be used • Main L/R • Center • Rear L/R ■ 4-speaker configuration –minimum requirement– In this configuration, the center speaker signals and front effect speaker signals are directed to the left and right main speakers. For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE”, item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE”, and item “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”. L R Speakers to be used • Main L/R • Rear L/R L R R R (L+C+FL) (R+C+FR) PREPARATIONS L R R R (L+FL) R C ■ Speaker configurations and speaker mode Select the appropriate speaker mode depending on the speaker configuration.

Change the speaker mode setting as listening to the actual playback sound if it does not meet your expectation. English E-15 SPEAKER PLACEMENT Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers. Caution • Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor. ■ Placing the main speakers TV or video monitor Main speaker Main speaker Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each side of the TV or video monitor should be the same. ■ Placing the center speaker If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the monitor, the front effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen in your system, place the center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker with the center of the screen. TV or video monitor Center speaker ■ Placing the front effect, rear and rear center speakers 1m 0.5 - 1m 1.5 - 3m 0.5 - 1m 1m (3ft) (1 - 3ft) (5 - 15ft) (1 - 3ft) (3ft) FR L C R RL RR FL These speakers should be placed about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 feet) outside the main speakers and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position. Place the rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position. The rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the front effect speakers. Place these speakers at the height of 1.5 m when listening as sitting on the floor or 1.8 m when listening as sitting on the chair. Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement until you obtain a balanced sound from the main speakers and the front effect and rear speakers. RC This distance can be farther than the front effect speakers’. ■ When you use a projection screen Screen 1 L R 1/4 C E-16 Place the speakers as shown in the illustration. The main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen. Place the center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The center speaker provides precise dialogue localization. When you use a projection screen with your system, the front effect speakers provide better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs (see pages 90 to 94) raise the sound from the center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding with the video images. SPEAKER PLACEMENT ■ Placing the subwoofers Place the front subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections. If you use a rear subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The placement of the rear subwoofer is not critical because of the ultra low frequencies of the sound being reproduced. By adding a high quality subwoofer to the speaker configurations shown on page 14, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic movie effects, even if your main speakers are large. PREPARATIONS Front subwoofer Rear subwoofer Note • If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your configuration, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality. You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the SET MENU (see pages 56 and 57). If you are using small speakers, the addition of a subwoofer will reinforce the sound effects of movies. English E-17 CONNECTIONS Before connecting components CAUTION Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been completed. • Some components require different connection methods and have different jack names.

STANDBY STANDBY /ON English E-43 BASIC PLAYBACK Input modes and indications This unit comes with various input jacks. If your external component is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set the priority of the input signal. Press INPUT MODE on the front panel or an input selector button (press it repeatedly) on the remote control to display or change the input mode. INPUT MODE D–TV/LD CABLE SAT VCR 1 VCR 2 VCR3/DVR V–AUX DVD MD/TAPE CD–R TUNER CD PHONO DSP V–AUX TUNER PHONO CABLE SAT MD/TAPE CD–R CD D–TV/LD VCR 1 VCR 2 VCR3/DVR DVD INPUT DVD AUTO:DTS VOLUME LFE L C R RL RC RR SP A Input mode AUTO: This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power of this unit. In this mode, the input signal is automatically selected in the following order. 1 Digital signals 2 Analog signals <When D-TV/LD is selected as the input source> 1 Dolby Digital RF encoded signals 2 Digital signals 3 Analog signals D.D. RF: This unit only selects Dolby Digital RF signals (when DTV/LD is selected as the input source). DTS: In this mode, only digital input signals encoded with DTS are selected even if other signals are input at the same time. DGTL: This unit only selects digital signals input through the OPTICAL or COAXIAL jacks (when D-TV/LD is selected as the input source). ANALOG: In this mode, only analog input signals are selected even if digital signals are input at the same time. Cautions • When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set according to “9 INPUT MODE” on the SET MENU (see page 59 for details). • When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. E-44 ■ Notes on the digital signal The digital input jacks of this unit can handle up to 192 kHz sampling digital signal. Both OPTICAL and COAXIAL input jacks can be used to input the digital signal up to 96 kHz. However when inputting the higher digital signals than 96 kHz, be aware the following points. • DSP programs cannot be selected. Sound will be output as normal 2-channel stereo sound from only the left and right main speakers. • Use the coaxial input (COAXIAL IN) jack to input over 96 kHz digital signal. The signals may not be correctly played back if the optical input (OPTICAL IN) jack is used. • Level adjustment for effect speakers excluding a subwoofer is not possible. Sound effects will be added to 96 kHz sampling digital signals after converted to 48 kHz. BASIC PLAYBACK ■ Notes on playing an LD source • If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you make a digital connection between this unit and the player. • If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to “ANALOG”, this unit may reproduce the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, connect the source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS”. • If you switch the input mode to “ANALOG” while playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound. • If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode set to “AUTO”, this unit automatically switches to the DTSdecoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up.) after having detected the DTS signal. When playback of the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator may flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTS source can be played. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to “AUTO”. • If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode set to “AUTO”, the “t” indicator may flash when a search or skip operation is performed while the DTS source is playing back with the input mode set to “AUTO”. If this status continues for longer than 30 seconds, this unit will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t” indicator will turn off. • For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode to “AUTO” or “ANALOG”. • If the LD player is transmitting a signal by a non-standard method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog. • Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input mode as necessary. • While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with a Dolby Digital signal, if you switch from the pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital signal is played. In this case, set the input mode to “D.D.RF”. BASIC OPERATIONS ■ Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs English E-45 BASIC PLAYBACK Selecting a sound field program You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a DSP program. There are 12 programs with sub-programs available with this unit. However the selection depends on the input signal format and not all the sub-programs are possible for all input signal formats.

Notes • Do a test recording before you start an actual recording. • It is not possible to record the sound effect created by this unit’s DSP processing. • When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit. • Operating BASS and TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, BALANCE, VOLUME, and DSP programs do not affect the recorded signal. • Setting REC OUT/ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE and using the BGV function (see page 43) allows the recording of audio and video from a different source. • Use INPUT SELECTOR to switch the source from the one you are watching or listening to while making recordings with REC OUT/ZONE 2 set to the source component you are recording from. E-50 MD/TAPE CD–R TUNER CD PHONO VIDEO AUX VIDEO AUX SILENT PHONES R VIDEO L AUDIO R OPTICAL Cautions • 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.) • 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 by your VCR. • DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks. • A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded. • The LD q RF (AC-3) input signal cannot be output using REC OUT/ZONE 2. • Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws. ■ 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 LDs, 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.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES Using the Macro feature The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations by pressing just one 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 those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The macro buttons (the input selector buttons, SYSTEM POWER and STANDBY) are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see pages 76 and 77). Macro buttons First SYSTEM POWER This unit turns on. (The components connected to this unit turn on.) *1 STANDBY This unit enters the standby mode. V-AUX This unit turns on.

The factory-set macro can be used again when the programmed macro is cleared. • It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the factoryset macro. Programming a macro changes all macro contents. • A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or YAMAHA preset) button signals of this remote control to a macro button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or program a function with the remote control for your component. • This remote control handles button signals that operate continuously, such as volume control, as short time interval codes. Macro programming that include these types of macro steps are therefore not recommended. 1 Press MACRO by using a ballpoint pen or similar object. “MCR ?” appears in the display window. MACRO MCR ? Caution • If you do not press any button within 30 seconds during steps 2 and 3, the macro programming process is canceled. If this happens, start over from step 1. 2 Press a macro button for which you want to program the macro operation.

In concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special and recognizable sound quality. Yamaha sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit. ■ Early reflections Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 80 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only — for example, from the ceiling or a wall. These reflections provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually 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. Reflected sounds image E-86 DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Recreating a sound field L R R R FL FR Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. Yamaha’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener. The DSP sound field programs can be classified in two types based on the sound field processing method: programs that use early reflections only and programs that use both early reflections and reverberation. Illustration of the virtual sound sources and echo patterns The virtual sound sources and echo patterns for the DSP sound field programs are shown below. The illustration of the virtual sound sources shows early reflection sound only and the illustration of the echo patterns shows both reflected sound and reverberation. ■ Virtual sound sources The center of these circles represent the virtual sound source. The size of the circle indicates the strength of the virtual sound source.

CONCERT HALL 2 CHURCH JAZZ CLUB SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS ROCK CONCERT ENTERTAINMENT English E-89 CINEMA-DSP SOUND FIELD PROGRAM The sound design of CINEMA-DSP sound field programs Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen. CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and DOLBY PRO LOGIC surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, Yamaha’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the front left, center, and right channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen. When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound field program for that signal. L SURROUND SOUND FIELD PRESENCE SOUND FIELD DIALOG R SURROUND SOUND FIELD EFFECT MUSIC AV ROOM Sound field images of the CINEMA-DSP programs Each CINEMA-DSP program has its own type of sound field processing block. The sound field data, including the presence and surround sound fields, are based on actual measured data. The presence and surround sound fields can be expressed in the distribution of virtual sound sources and echo patterns. However, as these two types of sound fields are processed with complex elements such as energy balance and mixing signal ratios, they are expressed as a sound field based on auditory perception.

These signals are processed by the DOLBY PRO LOGIC decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes. The six-channel soundtracks found on 70 mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER 70 mm Programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that six-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital decoder brings the professional quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With this unit’s MOVIE THEATER program, you can recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your living room using the Dolby Digital technology. ■ DOLBY PRO LOGIC + DSP sound field effect Presence DSP sound field Surround DSP sound field These programs express an immense sound field and a large surround effect.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS English E-93 CINEMA-DSP SOUND FIELD PROGRAM ENTERTAINMENT ■ Game This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds and is also suitable for karaoke. CONCERT VIDEO 1 ■ Pop/Rock ■ DJ This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel as if you are at an actual jazz or rock concert. The sound field makes the voice of a disc jockey sound clearer. CONCERT VIDEO 2 ■ Classical/Opera ■ Pavilion This program provides excellent vocal depth and overall clarity by restraining excessive reverberation. The surround sound field is relatively moderate but it reproduces beautiful sound using data collected from a concert hall. This program reproduces vocals clearly, letting you feel the spaciousness of a pavilion. Reverberation, which is somewhat delayed, reproduces the live acoustics unique to a pavilion, and helps to make concert scenes more exciting. TV THEATER ■ Mono Movie ■ Variety/Sports This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth using only the presence sound field. Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. MOVIE THEATER 1 ■ Spectacle ■ Sci-Fi This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70 mm movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound fields incredibly real. This program is ideal for any kind of Dolby Surround video source (especially large-scale movie productions). This program clearly reproduces the broad and expansive cinematic space from the soundtracks of the latest science fiction films. MOVIE THEATER 2 ■ Adventure ■ General This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70 mm and multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. This program is for reproducing sounds from 70 mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the effect of conversations without losing clarity. DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS SURROUND ■ Normal/EX/DTS-ES/ES Matrix 6.1/ES Discrete 6.1 The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects from sources. The highly efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound positioning smoother and more precise. In this program, no DSP effect is applied. E-94 ■ Enhanced/EX/ES This program ideally simulates the multiple surround speaker systems of 35 mm film theaters. The Dolby Surround decoding and the digital sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound orientation. The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from the back to the left and right and toward the screen.

English E-95 DIGITAL 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. ■ EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim) Function Control range Description This parameter adjusts the level of all the effect sounds within a narrow range. –3 dB – +3 dB Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the effect level relative to the direct sound. ■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay) Function Control range Description This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. 1 – 99 ms The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the apparent distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, for a large room, set it to a large value. Primary reflected sound Time Level Level Level Source sound Time INIT. DLY Time INIT. DLY INIT. DLY Sound source Reflection face Small value = 1 ms Large value = 99 ms ■ ROOM SIZE/P. ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field Function Control range Description This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. 0.1 – 2.0 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. Time Small value Primary reflected sound Level Level Level Source sound Time Time Large value Sound source Small value = 0.1 E-96 Large value = 2.0 DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ LIVENESS Function Control range Description This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. 0 – 10 The early reflections of a sound source 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. Dead Time Level Level Level Source sound Live Time Time Sound source Small reflected sound Small value = 0 Large reflected sound Large value = 10 ■ P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay) Function Control range Description This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the presence sound field. 1 – 99 ms The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. ■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay) Function Control range Description This parameter 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 rear channels are used. 1 – 49 ms The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. You can only adjust this parameter for the Dolby Digital and DTS signals. SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS English E-97 DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ S. DELAY (Surround Delay) This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround sound field. 0 – 49 ms (The range depends on the signal format.)

This unit is in the standby mode. Turn on the power of this unit. There is noise interference from digital or high-frequency equipment, or this unit. This unit is too close to the digital or high-frequency equipment. Move this unit further away from such equipment. This unit suddenly turns into the standby mode. The internal temperature becomes too high and the overheat protection circuitry has been activated. Wait until this unit cools down and then turn it back on. ■ Remote control Problem The remote control does not work nor function properly. Cause Remedy Wrong distance or angle. The remote control will function within a maximum range of 6 m (20 feet) and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel (see page 10). Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit. Reposition this unit. The batteries are weak. Replace all batteries with new ones and press RESET. The manufacturer code has not been correctly set. Set the manufacturer code correctly (see page 66). Try to set the other codes of the same manufacturer (see page 66). The remote control does not “learn” new functions. E-104 Even if the manufacturer code is correctly set, there are some models that do not respond to the remote control. Program the necessary functions independently into the programmable buttons on this unit’s remote control using the Learn feature. The batteries of this remote control and/or the other remote control are too weak. Replace the batteries. The distance between the two remote controls is too much or too little. Place the remote controls at the proper distance (see page 68). The signal coding or modulation of the other remote control is not compatible with this remote control. Learning is not possible. Memory capacity is full. Further learning is not possible without deleting unnecessary functions (see page 79).
