You are the proud owner of a Yamaha Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP) System—an extremely sophisticated audio component. The DSP system takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and the DSP system will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments—anything from a famous concert hall to a cozy jazz club. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-encoded video tapes using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. Seven built-in channels of amplification on the DSP-A2070 mean that no additional amplifiers are required to enjoy advanced digital sound field processing. Rather than tell you about the wonders of digital sound field processing, however, let’s get right down to the business of setting up the system and trying out its many capabilities. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference. 2  SETUP & ADJUSTMENT 1-1. GETTING STARTED Installing the Remote Control Unit Batteries Unpacking Since the remote control unit will be used for many of this unit’s control operations, you should begin by installing the supplied batteries. If you haven’t already done so, carefully remove this unit and its accessories from the box and wrapping material. You should find the unit itself and the following accessories. Remote control Batteries 1. Turn the remote control unit over and slide the battery compartment cover downward in the direction of the arrow. 2. Insert the batteries (LR6, AA, UM-3 type), being careful to align them with the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment. User program sheets 3. Close the battery compartment cover. 3  ● When you notice that remote control operation has become erratic, or the distance from which the remote control will function has decreased, it’s time to replace the batteries. Always replace all batteries at the same time. ● Make sure that the YPC/USER/LEARN switch on the remote control unit is set to the YPC or USER position for normal operation. ● This remote control uses an advanced, highly directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the main unit when operating. Remote control transmitter operation range Infrared receiver Within approximately 7 m (23 feet) 30° 30° Notes ● There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit. ● If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control transmitter to work incorrectly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. 4 Digital Sound Field Processing What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert. What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.  Dolby Pro Logic Surround Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in today’s typical home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so that there are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround, which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging. You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic with two modes of Digital Sound field processing. These combinations expand the surround effect. One is the “ENHANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround, which recreates the surround effect of the 35 mm film movie theater. The other is the sound field program “MOVIE THEATER”, which recreates the listening experience of a 70 mm film theater. This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems. Directional Enhancement Circuit + DSP The YAMAHA directional enhancement (DIR. ENHANCEMENT) circuit expands and focuses the digital sound field. This effect puts you in the midst of the action, while centering and focusing your attention to the screen. This circuit is available on Sound Field programs “CONCERT VIDEO” and “TV THEATER”. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Additionally licensed under one or more of the following patents: U.S. number 3,950,590; Canadian numbers 1,004,603 and 1,037,877. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. 5  6 Setting Up Your Speaker System Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog, when using Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding. We therefore recommend that you use a seven-speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to the full seven speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still performed, but the main speakers are used for both the main channels and the front effect channels. With digital sound field programs No. 7 through No. 12, by using either the Directional Enhancement circuit or the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, decoded signals will be output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to upgrade the Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended to use the center speaker unit. If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is possible to enjoy movie viewing without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Sub Woofer System, which has its own built-in power amp.  Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended 4 Speaker System 5 Speaker System 6 Speaker System 7 Speaker System Simplest system. Good for Audio/Video sources and Dolby Pro Logic Surround. Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources. This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects. You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear. With sound field programs No. 7 through No. 12, which utilize the center speaker effect, more precise center localization can be obtained. With sound field programs No. 1 through No. 6, a sound effect matching that of a 7-speaker system can be obtained. The addition of front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective sound field. With sound field programs No. 1 through No. 6, using both sets of effect speakers (front and rear), reproduces the most effective sound field. With the sound field programs No. 7 through No. 12, the center speaker provides precise center localization. FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON. (See page 13.) Center Mode—Set to PHNTM. (See page 26.)

(See page 26.) 7  Speakers and Speaker Placement NOTE: The Yamaha NS-C90 speaker, available in some countries, is an ideal choice for the center speaker. Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS, and the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a subwoofer. You will probably use your present stereo speakers as the MAIN SPEAKER pair. The front effect, rear effect do not need to be equal with the MAIN SPEAKERS, although the center speaker should be as close as possible. They should have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of the DSP system or the external amps that will drive them. Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position. Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair. Place the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly six feet up from the floor. Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.) If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional. 8 Main speaker Effect speaker Center speaker  VIDEO SUPERIMPOSE OPEN/CLOSE THE CONTROL DOOR If you connect your video cassette recorder, video disc player, video monitor, etc. to this unit, you can take advantage of this unit’s capability to display program titles, parameter data and information about other various settings and adjustments on your video monitor’s screen.

NOTE: If an external power amplifier is connected to the front effect or rear effect output jacks, the corresponding internal amplifier will be turned off and no output will be available at the speaker terminals.  Rear Panel Switch and Control Settings General Instructions for Connections There are several switches and controls on the rear panel that you’ll have to check before operating your system, and it’s a good idea to do it before you connect cables. Locate the MAIN LEVEL control (A) and FRONT MIX slide switch (:) at the bottom of the MAIN terminal group. Make sure the MAIN LEVEL control is set to its max (10) position and that the FRONT MIX switch is set to “OFF” for 7 or 6 speaker driving. Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the other plugs for the “L” jacks. In a 5 or 4 speaker system, set the FRONT MIX switch to “ON”. Next, set the NTSC/PAL switch (9) to the position corresponding to the standard which your video equipments employ. (General Model only) With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color. 13  CONNECTING AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCE EQUIPMENTS TO THIS UNIT Video disc player Turntable AUDIO OUT VIDEO OUT OUTPUT GND AUDIO OUT TV/Satellite tuner VIDEO OUT Video cassette recorder 1 CD player AUDIO OUT VIDEO OUT OUTPUT AUDIO OUT VIDEO OUT Tuner VIDEO OUT OUTPUT AUDIO OUT VIDEO IN Tape deck 1 AUDIO IN LINE OUT LINE IN Video cassette recorder 2 VIDEO OUT AUDIO OUT Tape deck 2 LINE OUT LINE IN VIDEO IN AUDIO IN Video cassette recorder 3 If you wish to connect a second monitor TV (or a projector) to this unit, you can switch the VCR 3 VIDEO OUT jack (and S VIDEO jack also) to a second monitor out jack.

Video cassette recorder 3 Monitor TV 15  CONNECTING THE MAIN SPEAKERS TO THIS UNIT Main speaker Connect the MAIN speakers to the MAIN speaker output terminals of this unit. Make sure that the jumper bars between the MAIN OUT and MAIN IN jacks on the rear panel are in place. It is also possible to use an external power amplifier if more power is desired. In this case, remove the jumper bars and connect the MAIN OUT jacks to the INPUT jacks of a stereo power amplifier with a stereo pin cable—making sure to connect the left and right channels correctly. Connect the MAIN speakers to the speaker output terminals of the power amplifier. NOTE: If an external amplifier is used for the main speakers, it is recommended to use the MAIN speaker terminals of this unit for the rear effect speakers. Connect the REAR EFFECT OUT jacks to the MAIN IN jacks with the pin cord. This combination is highly upgraded and ideal for the division of sound quality, because the rear channel output of the Audio/Video system is equally important as the center channel. Main speaker Power amplifier INPUT MAIN UNIT This unit 16  CONNECTING THE EFFECT SPEAKERS TO THIS UNIT Connect the FRONT effect speakers to the FRONT effect speaker output terminals of this unit. Center speaker Front effect speaker Front effect speaker L R If the FRONT effect speakers are not used, the FRONT MIX switch should be set to “ON”. Connect the REAR effect speakers to the REAR effect speaker output terminals of this unit. Center speaker Connect the CENTER speaker to the CENTER speaker output terminals. If you will be using one CENTER speaker, connect it to either the A or B terminals and set the CENTER speaker impedance switch to “A or B” (bottom position). If using two CENTER speakers, connect them to the A and B terminals, and set the switch to “A + B” (top position). If, however, you will not be using a CENTER speaker, be sure to set the Center Mode to “PHNTM” (phantom). (See page 25.) Center speaker This unit NOTE: The speaker connections above are fine for most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to use an external power amp for any or all of the effect channels, connect the line level output jack(s) for each channel to the INPUT jacks of the external amp and connect the corresponding speaker pair to the speaker terminals of the external amp. NOTE: If the pin plug is inserted in the FRONT/REAR EFFECT out jacks, the speaker output from the built-in amplifier will be cut off. Rear effect speaker L Rear effect speaker R 17  ADDING A SUBWOOFER CONNECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies. Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any other metal part as this could damage this unit and/or speakers. This unit provides line-level subwoofer outputs, which contain only the frequencies under 200 Hz from the main and center channels. If you use one subwoofer, connect the MONO LOW PASS jack to the INPUT jack of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. If you wish to obtain more presence in your listening room, the use of two subwoofers is recommended. To connect two subwoofers to this unit, connect the “left” SPLIT LOW PASS jack to the INPUT jack of the amplifier driving the left subwoofer, and the “right” SPLIT LOW PASS jack to the INPUT jack of the amplifier driving the right subwoofer, and then connect each subwoofer to the corresponding amplifier. With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer are in the same unit.

The TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will illuminate. 39  NOTE: The originally preset function of a key is still available in the USER position if the key does not learn a new function. Erasing All Learned Functions 1. Set the YPC/USER/LEARN switch to the Learn mode. NOTE: If all signals learned are long signals, it is possible that the capacity of the memory could be completely filled before all of the keys learn new functions, and so no further learning is possible. The function learned by any key can be easily changed by repeating the learning process with a different function. It is also possible to erase learned functions so that the keys return to the originally preset functions. Erasing a Learned Function 2. Use the point of a pencil or other similar object to press and hold the CLEAR button. 3. Press and hold any key until the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes on and off seven times. NOTE: All of the memorized functions will be retained while you replace the batteries. However, if no batteries are installed for a few hours, the memory will be erased and will have to be programmed again. 1. Set the YPC/USER/LEARN switch to the User mode. 2. Use the point of a pencil or other similar object to press and hold the CLEAR button. 3. Press and hold the key whose function is to be erased until the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes on and off three times. 40 NOTE: There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation systems employed by the other remote control unit, that this unit will not be able to learn its signals. NOTE: When the remote control freezes, press the RESET button on the rear of the main unit to “reset” the internal microcomputer which controls remote control operations. Pressing the RESET button will not erase learned functions.  CREATING YOUR OWN SOUND FIELDS WHAT IS A SOUND FIELD? In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP system, we need to first understand what a sound field really is. What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting. We can even tell whether it is highly reflective, with steel and glass surfaces, or more absorbent—wood panels, carpeting and curtains. THE ELEMENTS OF A SOUND FIELD In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field: (1) Early Reflections. Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms — 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only—for example, from the ceiling or a wall. These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown in the diagram on page 43 for any particular environment, and provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound. (2) 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. ENGLISH 3-1. SELECTING AND EDITING PROGRAM PARAMETERS Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this information that the DSP system reproduces in order to create sound fields. If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what Yamaha has done with the DSP system. In addition to allowing you to recreate the sound fields of famous listening environments from around the world, the DSP system allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust such parameters as apparent room size, reverberation time, and distance from you to the performer. Even if power is turned off, your custom sound fields will remain in the DSP system’s memory for about two weeks. The following pages detail how to make your own sound fields. 41  In addition to the “TYPE” parameter which selects the subprograms within each sound field program (e.g. “Hall A in Europe” and “Hall B in Europe” for program 1, “CONCERT HALL 1”), each program also has a set of parameters that allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to create precisely the effect you want. These parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for example, affects the length of time between the “early reflections”—that is, the first few widely spaced reflections you hear after the direct sound. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the “room” you hear. In addition to room size, the shape of the room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out quicker, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a longer period of time. The DSP parameters allow you to control these and many other factors that contribute to your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially “redesign” the concert halls and rooms provided to create customtailored listening environments that ideally match your mood and music. Refer to “3-2. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS” on page 43 for a description of what each parameter does, how it effects the sound, and its control range. 1. With the desired program selected, press the Parameter Select (▼ ▼) key on the remote control unit once. This will recall the next parameter after the program type. In the case of the CONCERT HALL 1 program, for example, this would be the EFCT TRIM parameter. You can continue pressing the Parameter Select (▼ ▼) key 42 to select other parameters in sequence. Press the Parameter Select (▲ ▲) key to scroll upward through the parameter list. 2. When the desired parameter has been recalled, use the Parameter + (increment) and – (decrement) keys to change its value to create the effect you want. + increases the value of the selected parameter, and – decreases the value of the selected parameter. In both cases you can hold the key down for continuous incrementing or decrementing. The display will pause for a moment at the initial value of the parameter as a reminder. NOTE: Parameter edits made in this way will remain in effect even with power turned off for up to about two weeks, after which all parameters will return to their initial values.  Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. Refer to the “PROGRAM PARAMETER TABLE” on page 48 for a complete list of the parameters in each program. ● ● ENGLISH 3-2. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS INIT DLY (Initial Delay) How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent distance from the source sound. ROOM SIZE Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound. Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective surface determines the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the sound source within the acoustic environment. What it Does: What it Does: Adjusts the timing between the early reflections. Early reflections are the first group of reflections you hear before the subsequent, dense reverberation begins. Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. How it Affects the Sound: Control Range: Control Range: 1 – 99 milliseconds 0.1 – 2.0 Standard setting is 1.0. For a small living room this parameter would be set for a small value. Large values for a big room. Larger values produce an echo effect. Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all doubled).

DLY Time Level Direct sound Early reflections Large INIT. DLY Time INIT. DLY Time Large space 43  ● LIVENESS ● REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) How it Affects the Sound: How it Affects the Sound: This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall. The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity (decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the early reflections decay slowly is termed “live”, while a room with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay rapidly is termed “dead”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room. What it Does: Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (@ 1 kHz). Control Range: 1.0 – 5.0 seconds. What it Does: The reverb time in a small-to-medium size hall would be between 1 and 2, and in a large hall it is normally between 2 and 3. Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay. Control Range: 0 – 10. Level Level Small Time Dead 44 Level Direct sound Level Large Level 60 dB Time Time Live REV. TIME Reverberations Level Direct sound Early reflections Small Time 60 dB REV.

DELAY (Reverberation Delay) ● This parameter sets the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound will begin. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like the space of the acoustic environment has become larger. REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level) This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.

ENHANCEMENT (Directional Enhancement) This circuit emphasizes the position of sound. If this circuit is activated, the unity constituent of the input left and right channels (those signals which are common to the left and right channels) will be output from the center speaker, and the disparity constituent of the left and right signals (the difference between the left and right channels) will be output from the surround speakers. Because the unity constituent signal determines localization, precise localization is obtained even though a listener is left or right of the ideal center listening position. The primary sound field around the screen is obtained according to processing based on left, center and right speakers as the sound source. Also, with the processing of the surround sound source based on the disparity constituent (which includes most of the indirectional sound constituent), sound diffusion to the rear speakers is obtained. Therefore, directional enhancement is an especially effective processing option for vocal or operas. With monaural sound sources, almost all sounds are output from the center speaker instead of the left and right main speakers. Selectable levels: OFF/MIN/MID/MAX 46 ● DOLBY PRO LOGIC (for MOVIE THEATER 1 and 2 only) By adding the Dolby Pro Logic Decoder to the DSP effect, the full presence of a 70 mm film theater is reproduced without deteriorating the channel separation. With monaural sound sources, almost all sounds are output from the center speaker instead of the left and right main speakers.  EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim) Performs fine adjustment of the level of all the effect sounds. Control Range: ● Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side sound field. The larger the value, the later the surround sound field is generated. –3 dB to 3 dB ● Control Range: P. INIT DLY (Presence Initial Delay) Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. Control Range: 1 – 49 milliseconds (15 – 30 milliseconds for DOLBY PRO LOGIC only) ● Control Range: P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size) Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound source. Control Range: 0.1 – 2.0 S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size) Adjusts the apparent space size of the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. 1 – 49 milliseconds ● S. DELAY (Surround Delay) ENGLISH ● 0.1 – 2.0 ● S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness) Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the surround sound field becomes. Control Range: 0 – 10 47  TABLES & SPECIFICATIONS 4-1.
