PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital
sound field processor. The processor allows you to
electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound
field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like
experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 12
digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an
excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field
(this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to),
and adding desired adjustments.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel
sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources,
and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of DTS-
encoded audio and video sources. The operation of the Dolby
Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder can be
controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including
combined operations of DSP and Dolby Pro Logic Surround, DSP
and Dolby Digital (AC-3), or DSP and DTS.
This unit also features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you the best performance without
manual adjustment.
Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced
sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to
the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still
notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live
concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the
sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has
made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same
sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of
a live concert.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture
the acoustics of a variety of 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
This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar
to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie
theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you
can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby
Stereo theater sound in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic employs a four-channel-five-speaker system.
The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into
four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel
(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channel (used
for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient
noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even
less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the
action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging.
Dolby Surround is encoded on a lot of sound tracks of pre-
recorded video tapes, laserdiscs, and some TV/cable
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby
Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects.
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of Dolby Surround
sound system which is a spatial sound processing format
developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate
audio coding.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that
provides completely independent multi-channel audio to
consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3)
provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred
to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and
right), plus two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect
channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency
effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other
channels. (This is called the “subwoofer channel” or “LFE
channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to
the term 5.1 channels in total.
Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system
(left front, center, right front and just one surround channel),
Dolby Digital (AC-3) features two surround channels, called
stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range
fidelity as the three front channels.
By using the built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo
Digital theater sound in your own home.
Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range
channels presents listeners much excitement that has never
been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the
discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the
original movie possesses.
The DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to
replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete
channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is installed in many
theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system
changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six
discrete channels of superb digital audio.
The DTS technology, through intense research and
development, made it possible to deliver a similar
encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-
sound entertainment.
The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which
delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically
5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and
two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as
“0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that
are currently available for home theater systems
The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the
six channels of 20-bit audio onto any laserdisc or compact disc
(or DVD in the near future) with considerably less data-
compression.
By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS
installed theater’s high quality sound in your own home.
Laserdisc and compact disc (and DVD in the near future) are
home audio format within which DTS can represent its high
quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on
laserdiscs, many exciting new multi-channel music recordings
will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded
compact discs.)

Dolby Digital (AC-3) forms 5.1 channels as mentioned on the
previous page, and moreover, it can also form fewer channels,
for example 2 channel stereo and monaural. You may be able
to find some 2 channel stereo and/or monaural sources
encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in a market.
If a 2 channel stereo source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) is played back as the input source and the DSP
program No. 10, 11 or 12 is used at the same time, the source
is first decoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder into 2
channels, and then decoded with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder.
In such a case, only the decoding of Dolby Pro Logic is shown
on the display panel of this unit.
Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit
from Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-
3) will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing
release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway
will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital (AC-3)
encoded video software.

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and
the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-
decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide
acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the
room, letting you feel much presence as if you were
watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of
No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog,
PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2-
channels.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS + 3 Digital Sound
Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and
the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby
Digital (AC-3)-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound field
respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and
much surround effect in the room without losing high
channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby
Digital (AC-3) or DTS sound, this sound field combination
lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest
Dolby Stereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This
will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present
time.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS
DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the
input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-
3) (except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS.
CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
Dolby Surround sound system and DTS system show their full
ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater
using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound
environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening
room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the
number of speakers, etc. of your listening room are much
different from those of a movie theater.
Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with
nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie
theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of
presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original
digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound or
DTS Digital Surround sound.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology
and Dolby Surround or DTS.

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field
quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of
main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs
of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center
speaker for dialog. 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.
Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is
Recommended
When playing back a source with the Dolby Pro Logic
decoded, or playing back a source which contains center-
channel signals with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS
decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the center
channel. Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance
of your Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended
that you use a center channel speaker.
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.
Use of a Subwoofer Expands Your Sound
Field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer
is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any
or all channels, but also for reproducing signals at the
subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a
source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS decoded. You
may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-
in power amplifier.
SPEAKER SETUP
Speakers and Speaker Placement
Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker
pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers),
the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS,
plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a
SUBWOOFER.
The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models
and have enough power handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system.
Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN
SPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it is
ideal to use high performance models that can reproduce
sounds in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONT
EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.
Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the
MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.5–1m behind and
above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.
Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.
They should be nearly 1.8m 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.

4 Speaker System
Simplest system.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two
additional speaker units at the rear.
1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.)
6 Speaker System
Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources.
When a normal stereo source is played back with the 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.
1E. FRONT MIX—Set to OFF-7ch. (See page 27.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.)
5 Speaker System
Good for Audio/Video sources.
By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals
etc.) are precisely localized.
1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 26.)
7 Speaker System
This is the recommended speaker system, providing the
best sound effects.
The rear speakers and the front effect speakers produces a
360-degree sound field, and the center speaker provides
precise center localization.
You can experience the amazing YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP”
sound fields completely with the 7 speaker system.
1E. FRONT MIX—Set to OFF-7ch. (See page 27.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 26.)

m Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals
If your CD player, MD recorder, LD player, DVD player,
TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical
digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to
this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal input
terminals.
To make a connection between optical digital audio signal
terminals, remove the cover from each terminal, and then
connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber
cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not
function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or
COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit
connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals
of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape
deck or VCR connected to only analog audio signal terminals
of this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals
between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 41 for details.)
* However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this
unit’s OPTICAL MD/TAPE 1 PLAY and REC terminals, it
can record input sources connected to this unit’s OPTICAL
digital signal input terminals.
Notes
When you connect an audio/video unit to both of the digital
and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to
both terminals of the same name.
Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from
dust.
All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the
sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
In order to make this unit perform a successful DTS-
decoding, the DTS bitstream must not be altered,
manipulated or corrupted in the process that it is sent from
the DIGITAL OUT terminal of a unit playing back a source
encoded with the DTS to a digital signal input terminal of
this unit.

English
Note on center speaker connection:
One or two center speakers can be connected to this unit. If
you cannot place the center speaker on or under the TV, it is
recommended to use two center speakers and place them on
both sides of the TV to orient the center sound at the center
position. When using one center speaker, connect it to either
the A or B terminals and set the CENTER SPEAKERS switch
to “A OR B” (bottom position). When 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 use a center speaker, be sure to set
the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode in the
“NONE” position. (See page 26.)
Note on a subwoofer connection:
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies
or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel when
reproducing discrete signals.
When using one subwoofer, connect the SUBWOOFER
MONO terminal of this unit to the INPUT terminal 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 one SUBWOOFER SPLIT
terminal to the INPUT terminal of the amplifier driving a
subwoofer, and the other SUBWOOFER SPLIT terminal to the
INPUT terminal of the amplifier driving the other 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 speaker connections described on page 18 are fine for
most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to
drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with your
existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for
connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.
1 MAIN CH PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
The PRE OUT terminals are for main channel line output,
and the MAIN IN terminals are for line input to the built-in
main channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN IN
terminals must be connected with jumper bars when the
built-in amplifier is used.
However, if you drive main speakers with an external
stereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars, and
then connect the input terminals of the external amplifier
(MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver)
to the PRE OUT terminals. No connection is needed to
the MAIN IN terminals.
* Output signals from the PRE OUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE
controls and BASS EXTENSION switch.
2 CENTER OUT/IN terminals
The CENTER OUT terminals are for center channel line
output, and the CENTER IN terminal is for line input to the
built-in center channel amplifier.
The lower side of CENTER OUT terminals and the
CENTER IN terminal must be connected with a jumper
bar when the built-in amplifier is used.
However, if you drive one or two center speakers with an
external power amplifier (for each), first remove the
jumper bar, and then connect the input terminal(s) of the
external amplifier(s) to either or both CENTER OUT
terminals. No connection is needed to the CENTER IN
terminal.
3 SUBWOOFER terminals
SUBWOOFER MONO terminal
When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to
this terminal. Frequencies below 90 Hz distributed from
the main, center and/or rear channels are output from this
terminal. Signals of LFE (low frequency effect) generated
when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS is decoded are
also output if they are assigned to this terminal.
SUBWOOFER SPLIT terminals
When using two subwoofers, connect their amplifier
inputs to these terminals. Low bass signals that are
output from the SUBWOOFER MONO terminal are also
output from these terminals. However, signals from the
left main and left rear channels are output to the SPLIT L
terminal, and signals from the right main and right rear
channels are to the SPLIT R terminal separately.
4 FRONT terminals
These terminals are for front effect channel line output.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
However, if you drive front effect speakers with an
external stereo power amplifier, connect the input
terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX
terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.
5 REAR (SURROUND) terminals
These terminals are for rear channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-
in amplifier.
However, if you drive rear speakers with an external
stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the
external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an
amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.
Notes
Output level of signals from all of these terminals are
adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel
or MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote control
transmitter.
If an external power amplifier is connected to the FRONT
or REAR output terminals, the corresponding internal
amplifier will be turned off and no output will be available
at the SPEAKERS terminals.

10 For the front effect speaker level adjustment, press
the TEST key on the remote control transmitter
again so that “TEST DSP” appears on the display.
A calibration signal should be heard from the main
speakers and the front effect speakers in turn.
11 Adjust the front effect speaker level by pressing the
+ or – key so that it becomes almost as same as
that of the main speakers.
* While adjusting, the test tone is fixed on the front
effect speaker.
* Pressing the or key makes the test tone fix
on the left front effect speaker and the right front
effect speaker respectively. This is helpful for you
to check that each speaker is correctly connected
to this unit.
12 When the adjustment is finished, press the TEST
key once again to cancel the test tone.
Notes
Once you have completed these adjustments, you can
adjust whole sound level on your audio system by using
the VOLUME control (or the MASTER VOLUME keys on
the remote control transmitter) only.
If you use external power amplifiers, you may also use
their volume controls to achieve proper balance.
If the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode
is set in the “NONE” position, in step 9, the sound output
level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is
because in this mode, the center sound is automatically
output from the left and right main speakers.
If there is insufficient sound output from the center and
rear speakers, you may decrease the main speaker
output level by setting the function “1F. MAIN LEVEL” in
the SET MENU mode in the “–10dB” position.

The internal low frequency test tone generator is useful for
adjusting subwoofer level to make the subwoofer sound match
the sound of other speakers in your audio system.
Operating procedure
1. After selecting this function (title) in step 1 on page 32,
press the + or – key to display the mode for adjustment.
2. Press the key so that the arrow points to
“TEST TONE
. . . .
OFF”. Next press the + or – key to
switch to the “ON” position.
The test tone is heard from the selected speaker(s).
3. Press the key so that the arrow points to
“OUTPUT
. . . .
”. Next press the + or – key to select the
speaker whose sound you want to compare with the
subwoofer sound. The test tone is output from the selected
speaker.
* Adjust the MASTER VOLUME keys so that the test tone
can be heard at your desired listening level.
* If “SUBWOOFER” is selected, the test tone below 90 Hz
is output from the subwoofer.
* The test tone will not be necessarily output from only the
selected speaker(s). The output mode of the test tone
depends on the settings on “1. SPEAKER SET” in the
SET MENU mode.
* Even if a source is being played back, the test tone is
output instead of the source sounds.
4. Press the key so that the arrow points to
“FREQ.
. . . . . . .
88 Hz”. To confirm that the subwoofer
sound matches the sound of other speakers, change the
frequency of test tone one by one by pressing the + or –
key. (Frequency can be changed from 35 Hz to 250 Hz,
and last, all range (35–250 Hz) of frequencies are output.)
Adjust subwoofer level with the control on the
subwoofer so that the subwoofer sound matches the
sound of other speakers in any range of low frequencies.
Note
This low frequency test tone can also be applied to check the
bass response in your room. For the best bass condition, bass
sound must be heard definitely at any position in your room. If
not, change the setting of subwoofer or furniture in your room.
3. DLBY DGTL (DOLBY DIGITAL) SET
Adjusting method
After selecting the title “3. DLBY DGTL SET” in step 1 on page 32, press the + or – key to display the title “3A. LFE LEVEL”. To
select the title “3B. D-RANGE”, press the
key. (To select the title
“3A. LFE LEVEL” again, press the key.) Then make a
setting change or adjustment with the + or – key.
3A. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel)
Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB
Preset value: 0 dB
This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) is decoded and the signals of selected source
encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) contain LFE signals.
Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect)
channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at other
channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of
LFE signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted. (Refer
to page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)
34
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) is decoded.
MAX: “Dynamic range” is the difference between the
maximum level and the minimum level of sounds.
Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie
theaters feature very wide dynamic range.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology can bring the original
sound track into a home audio format with this wide
dynamic range unchanged.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) is reproduced in the original sound
track’s wide dynamic range providing you with
powerful sounds like a movie theater.
Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can
listen to a source in a high output level in a room
specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range
are not always suitable for home use. Depending
upon the condition of your listening environment, it
may not be possible to increase the sound output
level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level
suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts
of source sound cannot be heard well because they
will be lost among noises in your environment.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also made it
possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic
range for a home audio format by “compressing” the
data of sound.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) is reproduced in the “compressed”
dynamic range of the source suitable for low level
listening.
If you desire, you can adjust the dynamic range
manually only when the STD position is selected.
m H-LEVEL CUT (High Level Cut Scale)
Control range: 0.0 to 1.0
Preset value: 1.0
Adjusts the dynamic range of high level signals of
source. The larger the value, the more the range is
reduced. The smaller the value, the range is more
widened.
m L-LEVEL BST (Low Level Boost Scale)
Control range: 0.0 to 1.0
Preset value: 1.0
Adjusts the dynamic range of low level signals of
source. The larger the value, the more the range is
widened. The smaller the value, the range is more
reduced.
Adjusting method
Select the title H-LEVEL CUT or L-LEVEL BST by
pressing the or key and adjust its value by
pressing the + or – key.
MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than
in the STD position. Selecting this position will be
effective when you must listen to a source in
extremely low level.
* In this position, it may happen that sound is output
faintly or not output normally depending on a
source. In that case, select the MAX or STD
position.
3B. D-RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range)
4. DTS SET
Adjusting method
After selecting the title “4. DTS SET” in step 1 on page 32, press the + or – key to display the title “4A. LFE LEVEL”. Then adjust its
level with the + or – key.
4A. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel)
Control range: –10 dB to 10 dB
Preset value: 0 dB
This adjustment is effective only when the DTS is decoded
and the signals of selected source encoded with the DTS
contain LFE signals.
Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect)
channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at other
channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of
LFE signal level to the level of other signals is adjusted. (Refer to
page 6 for details about the LFE channel.)
35
English
5. CENTER DELAY (Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.))
Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step)
Preset value: 0 ms
This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) or the DTS is decoded and the signals of selected
source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS
contain center channel signals.
Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main
channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel).
The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated.
In your audio system, the distance from the center speaker to
your listening position may be shorter than the distance from
the left or right main speaker to your listening position. In that
case, sounds from the left main, center and right main
speakers can reach your listening position at the same time by
delaying the sound from the center speaker.
6. CENTER GEQ (Adjusting the Center Channel Graphic Equalizer)
The built-in five band graphic equalizer is used to tailor, over a
±6 dB range, the overall output frequency response of the
center channel. The five bands cover the complete audible
sound spectrum and are centered on 100 Hz, 300 Hz, 1 kHz,
3 kHz and 10 kHz frequencies. Adjustment should be done to
each frequency individually.
Adjusting method
After selecting the function (title) in step 1 on page 32, press
the + or – key to display the condition of the equalizer. Then
select a frequency with the or key and adjust its level
with the + or – key.
* Adjustment can be made by monitoring sounds using the
test tone. To use the test tone, press the TEST key so that
“TEST DOLBY SUR.” appears on the display before making
adjustment. The test tone is output from the center
speaker(s).
It is difficult to balance tonal quality of the main, center, front
effect and rear effect speakers, because they may be different
in type and size, and their setting positions and heights are
also different. The built-in CINEMA Equalizer enables you to
balance tonal quality of the speakers easily by adjusting tonal
quality of the main/center, front effect and rear effect channels
individually.
This is also useful to compensate for loss of tonal response of
the main and center speakers when these speakers are placed
behind the projection screen (if you use a projector in place of
a TV).
The CINEMA Equalizer consists of the High-shelving equalizer
(HIGH) and the Parametric equalizer (PEQ). The High-shelving
equalizer changes high frequency characteristics smoothly,
and the Parametric equalizer boosts or cuts any selected
frequency smoothly.
Adjusting method
1. After selecting this function (title) in step 1 on page 32,
press the + or – key.
2. Select the channels on which you will make adjustments by
pressing the or key so that the arrow points the
corresponding title.
L, C, R ............... Left main, center and right main channels
FRNT EFCT ....................................... Front effect channels
REAR EFCT ................................................ Rear channels
3. Press the + or – key to turn the equalizer for the selected
channels to “ON”.
4. Press the key repeatedly until the title of adjusting
mode (7A. L,C,R EQ/7B. FRNT EFCT EQ/7C. REAR
EFCT EQ) for the channels on which you will make
adjustments is displayed.
* The adjusting mode will not be displayed for the channels
that are set to “OFF” in step 2.
5. Make adjustments for the selected channels.
Select the item with the or key and change the
value with the + or – key.
HIGH: FRQ..................... Selects a turnover frequency of
the High-shelving equalizer.
GAIN ............................. Adjusts the maximum equalizing
level.
PEQ: FRQ...................... Selects a frequency you will
boost or cut.
GAIN .............................. Adjusts the equalizing level on
the selected frequency.
* Adjustment can be made by monitoring sounds using the
test tone. To use the test tone, press the TEST key so that
“TEST DOLBY SUR.” or “TEST DSP” appears on the
display. The test tone is fixed on the channels on which you
make an adjustment and output from the corresponding
speakers.
It is recommended to make these adjustments together with
the tonal quality adjustment of the center speaker on the
function “6. CENTER GEQ”.
Note
Excessive increase of the GAIN level may cause an overload.
It is recommended to adjust the GAIN level so that it becomes
lower than the preset value.

Switching the input mode
This unit allows you to switch the input mode only for sources
that input two or more types of signals to this unit.
m For CD, MD/TAPE 1, TV/DBS and
DVD/VCR 3 sources:
The following two input modes are provided.
AUTO:
This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the
power of this unit.
In this mode, input signal is automatically selected by the
following order of priority.
1. Digital signal encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the
DTS, or Normal digital input signal (PCM)
2. Analog input signal (ANALOG)
* For CD, TV/DBS and DVD/VCR 3 sources, if digital signals
are input from both of the OPTICAL and COAXIAL
terminals, the digital signal from the OPTICAL terminal is
selected.
DTS:
In this mode, only digital input signal encoded with the DTS is
selected even though other signals are input at the same time.
ANALOG
In this mode, only analog input signal is selected even though
digital signal is input at the same time.
Select this mode when you want to use the analog input signal
instead of the digital input signal.
m For LD sources:
The following five input modes are provided.
AUTO:
This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the
power to this unit.
In this mode, input signal is automatically selected by the
following order of priority.
1. Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF signal (DOLBY DIGITAL)
2. Digital signal encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the
DTS, or Normal digital input signal (PCM)
3. Analog input signal (ANALOG)
AC-3 RF:
In this mode, only Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF signal is selected.
DTS:
In this mode, only digital input signal encoded with the DTS is
selected even though other signals are input at the same time.
DIGITAL:
In this mode, only digital input signal is selected even though
other types of signals are input at the same time.
ANALOG
In this mode, only analog input signal is selected even though
other types of signals are input at the same time.
Notes on input mode selection
For the TV/DBS and DVD/VCR 3 sources, the input mode
selected on the function “11. INPUT MODE” in the SET
MENU mode is selected when you turn on the power of this
unit.
To play back an LD source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3)
decoded, set the input mode to “AUTO” or “AC-3 RF”.
When you want to enjoy a source which has normal 2-
channel signals with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program,
select the ANALOG mode.
In the AUTO mode, there may be a case depending on
some LD players or DVD players that when you make a
search on a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or
the DTS during playback and then playback is restored,
sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital
input signal is selected again.
For sources PHONO, TUNER, TAPE 2, VCR 1, VCR 2 and
V-AUX, the input mode cannot be changed because they
input analog signals only to this unit.
When the input source is changed to LD, CD, MD/TAPE 1,
TV/DBS or DVD/VCR 3, or the input mode is changed, the
currently selected input mode is shown on the display panel
and the monitor screen.
If changed to the AUTO mode, the type of selected input
signal is also shown as figured below.
* However, if those operations are made when the test tone is
output from this unit, the type of selected input signal will
not be shown. (Only “AUTO” will be displayed.)
Notes on playing back a source encoded with the DTS
When you play back an LD or CD source with the DTS
decoded (with the red “dts” indicator illuminated on the
display) in the AUTO mode, a noise may be heard just
after playback begins. To prevent such a noise, select
the DTS mode.
Be careful not to play back these sources in the
ANALOG mode. If they are played back in the ANALOG
mode, only a noise will be output from the speakers.
If you play back a CD or LD source encoded with the
DTS in the AUTO mode, this unit is locked in the DTS-
decoding mode automatically to prevent the generation
of noise possible in subsequent operations. In this state,
the red “dts” indicator flashes.
In this state, if you play back a CD or LD with normal
(PCM) digital signals, no sound will be heard. To play
back these sources normally, press the INPUT MODE
button on the front panel or the input selector key for the
currently selected source on the remote control
transmitter so that “PCM” appears on the display.

To record a source to tape (or MD) while listening to (or watching) another
source
Regardless of the setting of the INPUT SELECTOR, when you set the REC OUT selector to CD, the audio signal from your CD
player can be recorded by your first tape deck (or MD recorder) which is connected to this unit’s MD/TAPE 1 REC terminals.
Likewise, when the REC OUT selector is set to LD, TV/DBS, VCR 2, DVD/VCR 3 or VIDEO AUX, both the audio and video signals
of the selected source can be recorded by your first VCR which is connected to this unit’s VCR 1 OUT terminals.
1 Select the source you want to record.
2 Play the source.
3 Confirm the source by selecting it with the INPUT
SELECTOR and turning up the VOLUME control.
4 Begin recording on the first tape deck (or MD recorder
etc.) or the first VCR connected to this unit.
5 To monitor the sound (and picture) to be recorded (or
being recorded), select the tape deck (or VCR) being
used for recording with the INPUT SELECTOR.
6 If you want to enjoy another source while recording,
select it with the INPUT SELECTOR.
Notes
While recording, you can use any other VCR or tape deck
not selected by the REC OUT selector to record an audio
and video source selected by the INPUT SELECTOR.
The audio and video signals from VCR 2 (or DVD/VCR 3)
are sent to VCR 1 when the REC OUT selector is set to
VCR 2 (or DVD/VCR 3).
If the REC OUT selector is set to VCR 2 (or DVD/VCR 3),
you cannot dub from your first VCR to the second VCR (or
the third VCR), even if VCR 1 is selected by the INPUT
SELECTOR.
To dub the audio signal from your second tape deck to the
first one, press the TAPE 2 MON/EXT. DECODER button
so that the “TAPE 2 MON” indicator lights up on the display
(and set the INPUT SELECTOR to any source other than
MD/TAPE 1 before beginning to record).
Note: If you use the remote control transmitter, be sure to use it with the lid open.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand
and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your
listening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend
on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound
reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded
with the DTS. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined
operation of the YAMAHA DSP and the Dolby Digital (AC-3), the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or the DTS.
This unit has 12 programs for digital sound field processing; 6 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 6
programs for Audio/Video sources. In addition, each program has two or three subprograms. All programs contain various
parameters that can be adjusted to the listener’s taste.
For details about digital sound field programs, refer to pages 50 to 54.
1 Follow steps 1 to 7 shown in “BASIC OPERATIONS” on page 39.
2 When operating on the front panel:
If no program name is illuminated on the display panel,
press the EFFECT button to turn on the digital sound
field processor so that a name of DSP program
lights up on the display panel and the monitor screen.

If desired, adjust the output level of each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on pages 48 and 49.)
If desired, you can create your own sound field taste. (For details, refer to pages 56 to 60.)
Notes
Program selection can be made to individual input sources. Once you select a program, it is linked with the input source selected
at that time. So, when you select the same input source next time, the same program is automatically called.
If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT button. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround
sound effect.
When a monaural sound source is played with the program DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, no sound is heard from the main
speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the
SET MENU mode is set in the “NONE” position, the main speakers output the sound of the center channel.
When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used, if the main-source sound is
considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE control, the relationship between the center and rear channels
may produce an unnatural effect.
When a source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit is selected, the DSP cannot be used
and the EFFECT button also will not function.

To enjoy a video source encoded with
the Dolby Pro Logic Surround, the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS
When you select the program No. 10, 11 or 12, and the input
signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic
Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the
input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-
3), Dolby Digital (AC-3) is automatically decoded.
When some program is selected and the input signal of the
source is encoded with the DTS, DTS is automatically decoded.
The following indicators on the display panel show you what
sound processing is being made.
1 Lights up when a DVD source encoded with the DTS is
played back and the DTS is decoded.
2 Lights up when an LD source or a CD source encoded with
the DTS is played back and the DTS is decoded.
3 Lights up when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is being decoded
and the signals of selected source encoded with the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is not in 2-channels.
This indicator also lights up when the input mode is set to
“AC-3 RF” even if no signal encoded with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) is input to this unit.
4 Lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic Surround is being
decoded
5 Lights up when the Digital Sound Field Processor is
turned on.
In addition, for the program No. 10, 11 and 12, the name of the
selected subprogram on the display panel or the monitor screen
will change according to the type of decoding. (For details, refer
to pages 53 to 54.)
Notes
The Dolby Digital (AC-3) will not be decoded to the source
that is not encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3).
The DTS will not be decoded to the source that is not
encoded with the DTS.
If the input signals of source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) are in 2-channels only, the sound processing for them
is similar to that for analog or PCM audio signals.
Note
If you change the LD (or CD) being played back with the DTS
decoded to another disc not encoded with the DTS when the
red “dts” indicator is illuminated, playing back the newly
selected disc will output no sound. In this state, the red “dts”
indicator flashes to show that this unit is locked in the DTS-
decoding mode.
To play back the disc normally, change the current DTS-
decoding mode to another mode by pressing an input selector
key on the remote control transmitter or the INPUT MODE
button on the front panel so that the red “dts” indicator turns
off.
To cancel the effect sound
The EFFECT button on the front panel or the EFFECT ON/OFF
key on the remote control transmitter make it simple to compare
the normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound.
To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound,
press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button. Press
the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button a second time
to restore the effect sound.
Notes
If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS are input to this unit, signals of
all channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers.
If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed
to turn effect sounds OFF when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the
DTS is decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or
not output normally depending on a source. In that case, press
the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key to turn effect
sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) or the DTS.
If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is
pressed to turn effect sounds OFF when the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) is decoded, the sampling frequency and channel
formation of the decoded signal is shown on the display
panel.

Notes
In this way, the output level of left rear and right rear
speakers are adjusted at the same time, keeping the
difference of level between them unchanged.
To adjust each level of them respectively, follow the method
of “SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on pages 29 to
31.
If the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode is
set in the “NONE” position, the sound output level of the
center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because in this
mode, the center sound is automatically output from the left
and right main speakers.
Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the
same in all the digital sound field programs.
The value of each speaker output level you set the last time
will remain memorized even when this unit is in the standby
mode.
However, if the power cord is kept disconnected for more
than one week, these values will be automatically changed
back to the original factory settings.

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of
these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields were recorded at actual
locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.
Note
The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are
listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

little reflection from the right and left walls, and sounds spread finely and
beautifully.
This is a large shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 2500 seats.
Almost the whole interior except the ceiling is made of wood, including
mahogany reflective panels. Special reflective paneling above the stage
produces strong frontal reflections which tend to reinforce the direct sound
from the stage. This hall has a very solid, powerful sound.
A classic shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 1700 seats. Pillars
and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections. Those
reflections and the reflections from all directions of the hall produce a very
full, rich sound.
This is a large 2600-seat concert hall in the United States which features a
fairly traditional European design. The interior is relatively simple,
suggesting an American taste. Sound of the middle and high frequencies
are richly and beautifully reproduced.
A classic large shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 2200 seats. It

FEATURE
The acoustic environment of an ordinary church with moderate
reverberations. This is ideal for reproducing church music played by a pipe
organ etc.
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high
pointed dome and columns along the sides. This interior produces very long
reverberations.
This program features a sound field created by the refectory (dining hall) of
the monastery, a beautiful medieval Gothic structure located in Royaumont
on the outskirts of Paris. The dome-like spaces in the ceiling formed by the
supporting pillars cause reverberations to echo and create a beautiful,
lingering tone.
A jazz club in New York. It is in a basement and has a relatively spacious
floor area. The reflection pattern is similar to that of a small hall.
A traditional New York jazz club located on 7th Avenue. This room has a
low ceiling, and the “stage” is located in a corner. This program does not
produce nearly as many reflections as the concert hall or church
programs, but creates an intimate “close-to-the-music” feel.
This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line,” a famous New
York jazz club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a
sound field offering real and vibrant sound.
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program
was recorded at LA’s “hottest” rock club.
This program simulates a space enclosed by concrete. An energetic sound
field is created with relatively clear reflections by the wall.
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect
sounds, and extraordinarily spacious feel of a large arena theater.
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the
heart of a very lively city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is

This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that
you are in the midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock
concert.
The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound
field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the
image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded.
With this program, the voice of a disc jockey sounds more clearly, and
music entertains you with a rich sound field feeling.
This program provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity,
restraining excessive reverberation.
For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you
feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is
relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of
the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an
opera.
This program reproduces vocals clearly, letting you feel the spaciousness of
a pavilion. Reverberation, which is somewhat delayed, reproduces the live
sound field unique to a pavilion, and helps to make a concert scene more
exciting.
This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.).
Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front
presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The
use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a
pleasant mix of conversations and picture.
Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the
rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall.
With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as
the news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo
broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center
position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the
surround side, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly
restrained.

This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a
movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound
in detail, giving both the video and the sound field
incredible reality. Any kind of video sources encoded
with the Dolby Surround or DTS (especially large-scale
movie productions) are ideal for use with this program.
This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound
effects in the latest sound design of science fiction films,
thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space
amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a
virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Pro Logic,
Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS-encoded software
employing the most advanced techniques.
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound
design of the newest multi-track 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. The data of the sound
field of an opera house are used for the front presence
side, so the three dimensional feeling of the sound field
is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the
screen. By using the data of the sound field of a concert
hall on the rear surround side, powerfull reverberations
are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure
movies, etc. with much presence.
This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track
film, and characterized by a soft and extensive sound
field. The front presence side of the sound field is
relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and
toward the screen, restraining echo effect of
conversations without losing clarity. For the surround
side, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully
in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

CREATING YOUR OWN SOUND FIELDS
WHAT IS A SOUND FIELD?
In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, 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 with 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 58 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.
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
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.
DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine
apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to
the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are
preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create
the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to
use DSP programs without changing values of parameters,
however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound
fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust
those parameters. Even if this unit is in the standby mode, your
custom sound fields will remain in the DSP’s memory for about
two weeks. The following page details how to make your own
sound fields.
In addition to the “TYPE” parameter which selects the
subprograms within each DSP program (e.g. “Hall A in
Europe”, “Hall B in Europe” and “Hall C in Europe” for program
1, “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
custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your
mood and music.
Refer to “DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD
PARAMETERS” on pages 58 to 60 for a description of what
each parameter does, how it effects the sound, and its control
range.

SELECTING AND EDITING PROGRAM PARAMETERS
This adjustment can be made only by using the remote control transmitter watching the monitor screen or the display panel.
Note
It is recommended to watch the monitor screen for making adjustments more easily than to watch the display panel.
1 Set the PARAMETER/SET MENU switch to the
PARAMETER position.
Note: Be sure to use the remote control transmitter
with the lid open.
2 Turn your monitor on. If the currently selected type of
display is not the full display, press the ON SCREEN
display key to call the full display.
3 If no DSP program is selected, select a desired
program.
The selected program name and its parameters will be
displayed on the monitor screen. The arrow-shaped
cursor points to the subprogram name.
4 Select a desired subprogram.
Press the button for
the currently selected
program once or more.
5 Select the parameter which you want to edit.
6 Change the value on the selected parameter 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. (On the monitor screen,
*
mark at
the head of parameter name disappears at the initial value of
the parameter.)
Notes
For details about parameters, refer to pages 58 to 60.
Parameter edits made in this way will remain in effect even
with power cut due to power failure or the power plug
disconnected from the AC outlet for up to about two weeks,
after which all parameters, as well as other adjustments or
setting changes on this unit, will return to their initial values
or conditions.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS
Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.
ROOM SIZE
How it Affects the Sound:
Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger
the value, the larger the simulated room will sound.
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.
Control Range:
0.1 – 2.0
Standard setting is 1.0.
Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent
volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all
doubled).
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.
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.
INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)
How it Affects the Sound:
Changes the apparent distance from the source 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:
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first
reflection heard by the listener.
Control Range:
1 – 99 milliseconds
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.
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 – 99 milliseconds
S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection
on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value,
the later the first reflection begins.
Control Range:
1 – 49 milliseconds

LIVENESS
How it Affects the Sound:
This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls
in the hall.
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:
Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay.
Control Range:
0 – 10.
P. LIVENESS (Presence Liveness)
Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence
sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front
presence sound field becomes.
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 rear
surround sound field becomes.
REV. TIME (Reverberation Time)
How it Affects the Sound:
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.
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.
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.

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.
Control Range:
0 – 250 milliseconds
REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level)
This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.
The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.
Control Range:
0 – 100%
EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim)
Performs fine adjustment of the level of all the effect sounds.
Control Range:
–3 dB to 3 dB
S. DELAY (Surround Delay)
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.
Control Range:
When the Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded:
15 – 30 milliseconds
When the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS is decoded:
0 – 15 milliseconds
When a program without the Dolby Surround or the DTS
encoded is used:

This switch must be used only when the lid of the remote
control transmitter is open. (This switch will not function when
the lid is closed.)
Normally, set this switch to the “A” position. When controlling a
Yamaha LD player by using the CD/LD player keys (
2
), set
this switch to the “B” position.
H Input selector keys
Select input source. The TAPE 2 MON key differs from other
input selector keys in function. It is identical with the TAPE 2
MON/EXT. DECODER button on the front panel. Refer to page
23 for details.
I TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
Lights up when the remote control transmitter is transmitting
infrared signals (when a command key is pressed).
J LIGHT key
If this key is pressed, some of the keys on the remote control
unit light up for about 5 seconds. If this key is pressed while
those keys are lighting up, they stop lighting.
Note
When using the keys to control Yamaha components,
identify them with your component’s keys. If these keys
are identical, their functions will be the same. For each key
function, refer to the corresponding instruction in your
component’s manual.

LEARNING NEW CONTROL FUNCTIONS (When the lid is open)
This is a learning remote control transmitter. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to “learn”
control functions from other remote control transmitters. By learning key-functions from other remote control transmitter, this unit can
then be used in place of one or more other remote control transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video
components more convenient.
Some of the “learning-capable” keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and
other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired.
* See page 70 for the learning method.
* See page 72 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions).
Note
If the memory capacity of the remote control transmitter becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable
keys are not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote control transmitter, up to
about 50 functions can be stored. Store new functions to the learnable-capable keys which are useful for you.
Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4)
In the “Learning-capable” keys, the keys numbered 14 in the
illustration at left can have three functions. This is because they
have three memory areas (A, B and C). (One function per area.)
You can store new functions into the area B and C, and use three
functions on a key by switching the memory areas with the A/B/C
switch. (Area A cannot learn a new function.)
To use these keys:
1. Before using a key, select the area A, B or C of the key on which
the function you want to use is stored by using the A/B/C switch.
2. Press the key.
The original factory settings of these keys are as follows.

These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from another
remote control transmitter.
For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of your
TV’s power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your VCR’s
power switch.

About the marks shown on the remote control
transmitter
The marks on the remote control transmitter signify functions of
keys, input sources, etc.
Examples)
(tape): Tape deck, VCR, etc.
(disc): CD player, LD player, etc.
(radio wave): Tuner, TV/BS tuner, etc.
These marks are helpful for storing new functions.
Examples)
The area B of keys 1 is suitable for storing functions to
control your VCR.
The area B of keys 3 is suitable for storing functions to
control your TV/BS tuner.
About the lighting of keys
When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3
seconds.
When an input selector key in the group of selected memory
area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of key group (
13)
which is the same as the mark of the selected input selector
key lights up for about 3 seconds.
Example)
Conversely, when a key of group
13 is pressed, its mark
and the input selector key with the same mark in the group of
the selected memory area light up for about 3 seconds.
This feature may be helpful for you if you store functions for
controlling an input source to a group of keys whose mark
lights up when the corresponding input selector key is pressed.

OPERATION CONTROL keys
Lid is closed.
When the lid is closed, the OPERATION CONTROL keys
substitute for the keys numbered 1, 2 and 3 on the above
illustration. To use these keys, you do not have to switch the
A/B/C switch. The functions which the OPERATION
CONTROL keys carry out are determined by which input
selector key was pressed before using the OPERATION
CONTROL keys.
Note
When the lid is closed, the EFFECT, MASTER VOLUME,
MUTE, TV and VCR keys will function in the same way as
when the lid is open.
* If the MACRO switch on the side of the remote control
transmitter is set to “OFF”, when the lid is closed, the
SYSTEM POWER ON and STANDBY keys also will
function in the same way as when the lid is open.
Notes
If the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for keys
which have no function (empty), no command is carried out.
According to your plan, store functions from other remote
control transmitters into an empty area of those keys. (Refer
to page 70 for the learning method.)
While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate
another unit by using the remote control transmitter (for
example, if you want to rewind a tape on your VCR while
listening to a CD), you should open the lid of the remote
control transmitter and use the A/B/C switch and the
corresponding keys.
(If you press an input selector key with the lid closed to
change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to
the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently
playing CD source is canceled.)
About the lighting of keys
When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and
only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which
substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or
learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you will
know what keys are available at a glance.
Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed,
all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the
currently selected input selector key light up.

MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed)
“Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several
operations.
The keys shown in the illustrations below (as preset macro
keys) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual
functions.
Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will
carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control
transmitter sequentially. (To know what key functions are
sequentially carried out by pressing each preset macro key,
see the next page.)
Macros can be used only when the lid is closed and the
MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is
selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.)
Preset macro keys are originally preset with macros. If you
prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key
by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up
to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to page 71 for the
learning method.)
Setting the MACRO switch
OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of
remote control transmitter is closed.
QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each
command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals.
SLOW: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each
command is transmitted at 3 second intervals.

Function of the key which operates when a macro key is pressed
Preset macro keys and the key functions which they carry out sequentially are as follows. (Also, refer to the table on page 64.)
Notes
A key in which no function is stored will carry out no
command.
If it occurs that this unit will not receive the second command
because the internal operation of the first command takes a
long time, set the MACRO switch to the “SLOW” position, or
add no function or repeat the same command between the
first command and the next command.
If you program the power on/off switching function of TV,
VCR, etc. as part of a macro sequence, note that it switches
the current mode to the other (“on” to “off”, or “off” to “on”).
For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of
TV, VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off
even though you may not want it to do so.
Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the
command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit
finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take
notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the
“SLOW” position.
Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote
control transmitter directed at the main unit’s remote control
sensor until the remote control transmitter finishes
transmitting all command signals of the macro key.
You can also use the OPERATION CONTROL keys while
using the macro functions.

LEARNING A NEW FUNCTION
1 Place this remote control transmitter and the other
remote control transmitter so that they face each other.
2
* If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the
LEARN button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. If this
occurs, repeat this step.
3 If necessary, select the memory area by using the A/B/C
switch on the side panel of the remote control
transmitter.
4 Press the key on this remote control transmitter in which
you will store a new function.
* If a key which cannot learn another function is pressed, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current
mode is canceled. If this occurs, repeat this step.
* If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after a key is
pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly
and the mode before you began learning operations is
restored. If this occurs, restart from step 2.
5 Press and hold the key (on the other remote control
transmitter) which has the function you want to store.
When learning is finished, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
stops lighting. You can release the key. Then the indicator
begins flashing slowly.
* If a signal is not successfully received, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode
prior to step 4 is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 4.
* If memory capacity is full, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
flashes rapidly to show you that learning is impossible, and
then the mode before you began learning operations is
restored.
6 Repeat step 3–5 to store more functions.
7 When you finish the learning operation, press the
LEARN button.
Notes
Newly learned functions will replace previously learned
functions.
If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to
be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash
rapidly. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied
with functions from other remote control transmitters, no
further learning is possible.
If you close the lid while learning, and then about 5 seconds
pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and
the mode before beginning learning operations is restored. If
this occurs, restart from step 2. However, if you open the lid
within 5 seconds, the mode before closing the lid is
restored.
There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the
signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote
control transmitter, this remote control transmitter will not be
able to “learn” its signals.
When you press the LEARN, MACRO or CLEAR button, or
the RESET button inside of the battery compartment by
using a sharp-pointed thing, be careful not to damage the
button. If you will use a mechanical pencil, make sure that
the lead is not coming out.

3 Press a key whose function you want to store as the first
function of the new macro.
* If a key whose function cannot be stored as a command of
macro is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes
rapidly and the current mode is canceled. If this occurs,
repeat this step.
* If about 30 seconds pass before a key is pressed, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode
before you began learning operations is restored. If this
occurs, restart from step 1.
4 Repeat step 3 to store the second, the third and more
functions. You can store up to seven key functions in
series as a macro.
* If the seventh key function has been learned, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode
before you began learning operations is restored. (This
shows that the key has completed learning a series of
functions as a macro.) If this occurs, you do not have to
follow the next step.
5 When you finish learning, press the MACRO button.
MAKING A NEW MACRO
A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 68 to know what keys are
preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other
keys.
Note
If you store a continuous command such as lowering of volume level, it will become a short command when it is carried out as a part
of macro.
LEARNCLEAR MACRO
It is recommended to write down new key functions you
stored on the provided user function stickers and paste
them on the reverse side of the remote control transmitter
or the reverse side of the remote control transmitter’s lid.
Memory back-up
All of the learned functions will be retained while you
replace the batteries. However, if no batteries are
installed for a few hours, the learned functions will be
erased and will have to be learned again.

SYMPTOM
A loud hissing noise is heard when you
play back a source encoded with the DTS.
A percussive noise is heard when you
begin playing back a source encoded with
the DTS.
No sound is heard when you play back a
source encoded with the DTS, even though
the “AUTO” or “DTS” input mode is
selected on this unit.
No sound is heard when you play back an
MD onto which you have recorded a
source encoded with the DTS.
No sound is heard when you play back a
DAT onto which you have recorded a
source encoded with the DTS.
No sound is heard when you play back a
source (CD etc.) even though the currently
selected input mode is “AUTO”.
CAUSE
The player which plays back the source is
not connected to a digital audio signal input
terminal of this unit.
The “ANALOG” input mode is selected on
this unit.
If the “AUTO” input mode is selected,
depending on some sources, there may be a
case that a noise is heard while this unit is
identifying the format of input signal.
The DTS decoder built into this unit does not
function because the player has a digital
volume control and it is set at a position
other than “maximum”, “neutral” or
“ineffective”.
A source encoded with the DTS cannot be
recorded onto an MD.
Depending on a DAT deck, a source
encoded with the DTS cannot be recorded
onto a DAT.
In the “AUTO” mode, the DTS-decoding
mode cannot be changed to the normal
(PCM) digital signal input mode
automatically.
REMEDY
The player must be connected to a digital
audio signal input terminal of this unit besides
analog audio signal terminal connections.
Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn
on the DTS decoder built into this unit.
Set the input mode of the currently selected
input source to “DTS”.
Set the player’s digital volume control at the
maximum, neutral or ineffective position.
Press the INPUT MODE button on the front
panel or the input selector button (for the
currently selected source) on the remote
control transmitter so that “PCM” appears on
the display.
When playing back a source encoded with the DTS:
Notes
It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with the DTS, so the player which plays back a source must
be connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only
a D/A converter is used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard.
If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with the DTS, the “PCM” indicator lights up on
the display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the normal (PCM) digital signal input
mode to prevent a noise from being output.
A source encoded with the DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a
source encoded with the DTS cannot be played back.
The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback).

(General model) NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER Battery installation Remote control transmitter operation range 2 1 Remote control sensor 3 Within approximately 6 m (19.7 feet) Battery replacement 4 If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones. Notes ● Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement. ● Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) ● Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time. ● If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. ● After you change batteries, make sure to press the RESET button inside the battery compartment. 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 not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 12 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments. In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of DTSencoded audio and video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of DSP and Dolby Pro Logic Surround, DSP and Dolby Digital (AC-3), or DSP and DTS. English PROFILE OF THIS UNIT This unit also features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment. Digital Sound Field Processing What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert. Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of 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 This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo theater sound in your own home. Dolby Surround is encoded on a lot of sound tracks of prerecorded video tapes, laserdiscs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four-channel-five-speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channel (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging. Dolby Digital (AC-3) Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of Dolby Surround sound system which is a spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate audio coding. Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the “subwoofer channel” or “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total. Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system (left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby Digital (AC-3) features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels. By using the built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo Digital theater sound in your own home. Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie possesses. 5 Dolby Digital (AC-3) forms 5.1 channels as mentioned on the previous page, and moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2 channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2 channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in a market. If a 2 channel stereo source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is played back as the input source and the DSP program No. 10, 11 or 12 is used at the same time, the source is first decoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder into 2 channels, and then decoded with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder. In such a case, only the decoding of Dolby Pro Logic is shown on the display panel of this unit. Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit from Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC3) will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded video software.

DTS Digital Surround The DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio. The DTS technology, through intense research and development, made it possible to deliver a similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surroundsound entertainment. The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as “0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the six channels of 20-bit audio onto any laserdisc or compact disc (or DVD in the near future) with considerably less datacompression. 6 By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS installed theater’s high quality sound in your own home. Laserdisc and compact disc (and DVD in the near future) are home audio format within which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting new multi-channel music recordings will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

Dolby Surround sound system and DTS system show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room are much different from those of a movie theater. English CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound or DTS Digital Surround sound. CINEMA DSP The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround or DTS. Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surrounddecoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the room, letting you feel much presence as if you were watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater. This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2channels. Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS + 3 Digital Sound Fields Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital (AC-3)-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and much surround effect in the room without losing high channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time. This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC3) (except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS. 7 SPEAKER SETUP Setting Up Your Speaker System This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. 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. Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended 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. Use of a Subwoofer Expands Your Sound Field It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing signals at the subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own builtin power amplifier. When playing back a source with the Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or playing back a source which contains centerchannel signals with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance of your Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended that you use a center channel speaker. Speakers and Speaker Placement Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a SUBWOOFER. The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models and have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN SPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high performance models that can reproduce sounds in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONT EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS. Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position. Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.5–1m behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair. Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly 1.8m 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 Subwoofer Front effect speaker Rear speaker Center speaker 4 Speaker System 5 Speaker System Simplest system. Good for Audio/Video sources. You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear. By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized. 1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.) 1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.) 1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.) 1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 26.) 6 Speaker System Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources. When a normal stereo source is played back with the 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. 1E. FRONT MIX—Set to OFF-7ch. (See page 27.) 1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.) English Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended 7 Speaker System This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects. The rear speakers and the front effect speakers produces a 360-degree sound field, and the center speaker provides precise center localization. You can experience the amazing YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” sound fields completely with the 7 speaker system. 1E. FRONT MIX—Set to OFF-7ch. (See page 27.) 1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 26.) 9 CONNECTIONS Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed.

If for some reason, however, you wish to drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with your existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit. 3 CENTER OUT SUBWOOFER MONO OUT 1 1 FRONT REAR (SURROUND) SPLIT 3 4 5 MAIN CH PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals The PRE OUT terminals are for main channel line output, and the MAIN IN terminals are for line input to the built-in main channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals must be connected with jumper bars when the built-in amplifier is used. However, if you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars, and then connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to the PRE OUT terminals. No connection is needed to the MAIN IN terminals. * Output signals from the PRE OUT terminals are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls and BASS EXTENSION switch. 2 SUBWOOFER SPLIT terminals When using two subwoofers, connect their amplifier inputs to these terminals. Low bass signals that are output from the SUBWOOFER MONO terminal are also output from these terminals. However, signals from the left main and left rear channels are output to the SPLIT L terminal, and signals from the right main and right rear channels are to the SPLIT R terminal separately. IN 2 CENTER OUT/IN terminals The CENTER OUT terminals are for center channel line output, and the CENTER IN terminal is for line input to the built-in center channel amplifier. The lower side of CENTER OUT terminals and the CENTER IN terminal must be connected with a jumper bar when the built-in amplifier is used. However, if you drive one or two center speakers with an external power amplifier (for each), first remove the jumper bar, and then connect the input terminal(s) of the external amplifier(s) to either or both CENTER OUT terminals. No connection is needed to the CENTER IN terminal. SUBWOOFER terminals SUBWOOFER MONO terminal When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to this terminal. Frequencies below 90 Hz distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels are output from this terminal. Signals of LFE (low frequency effect) generated when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS is decoded are also output if they are assigned to this terminal. COUPLER MAIN CH PRE MAIN OUT IN English m To drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with external amplifiers 4 FRONT terminals These terminals are for front effect channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive front effect speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals. 5 REAR (SURROUND) terminals These terminals are for rear channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the builtin amplifier. However, if you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals. Notes • Output level of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote control transmitter. • If an external power amplifier is connected to the FRONT or REAR output terminals, the corresponding internal amplifier will be turned off and no output will be available at the SPEAKERS terminals. 21 PLUGGING IN THIS UNIT • After completing all connections, plug the AC power cord into a convenient AC outlet. • Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if this unit is not to be used for a long period of time.

LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel) ● Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB Preset value: 0 dB ● This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) contain LFE signals. Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at other channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted. (Refer to page 5 for details about the LFE channel.) 33 3B. D-RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range) ● Choices: MAX/STD/MIN Preset position: MAX ● This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded. MAX: In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening. If you desire, you can adjust the dynamic range manually only when the STD position is selected. “Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater. Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment. m H-LEVEL CUT (High Level Cut Scale) Control range: 0.0 to 1.0 Preset value: 1.0 Adjusts the dynamic range of high level signals of source. The larger the value, the more the range is reduced. The smaller the value, the range is more widened. m L-LEVEL BST (Low Level Boost Scale) Control range: 0.0 to 1.0 Preset value: 1.0 STD (Standard): Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data of sound. Adjusts the dynamic range of low level signals of source. The larger the value, the more the range is widened. The smaller the value, the range is more reduced. Adjusting method Select the title H-LEVEL CUT or L-LEVEL BST by pressing the or key and adjust its value by pressing the + or – key. MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source in extremely low level. * In this position, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position. 4. DTS SET Adjusting method After selecting the title “4. DTS SET” in step 1 on page 32, press the + or – key to display the title “4A. LFE LEVEL”. Then adjust its level with the + or – key. 4A. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel) ● Control range: –10 dB to 10 dB Preset value: 0 dB ● This adjustment is effective only when the DTS is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the DTS contain LFE signals. 34 Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at other channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signal level to the level of other signals is adjusted. (Refer to page 6 for details about the LFE channel.) English 5. CENTER DELAY (Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.)) ● Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step) Preset value: 0 ms ● This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS contain center channel signals. Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel). The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated. In your audio system, the distance from the center speaker to your listening position may be shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position. In that case, sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers can reach your listening position at the same time by delaying the sound from the center speaker. 6. CENTER GEQ (Adjusting the Center Channel Graphic Equalizer) The built-in five band graphic equalizer is used to tailor, over a ±6 dB range, the overall output frequency response of the center channel. The five bands cover the complete audible sound spectrum and are centered on 100 Hz, 300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz and 10 kHz frequencies. Adjustment should be done to each frequency individually. Adjusting method After selecting the function (title) in step 1 on page 32, press the + or – key to display the condition of the equalizer. Then select a frequency with the or key and adjust its level with the + or – key. * Adjustment can be made by monitoring sounds using the test tone. To use the test tone, press the TEST key so that “TEST DOLBY SUR.” appears on the display before making adjustment. The test tone is output from the center speaker(s). 7. CINEMA EQ (Adjusting the tonal balance of speakers) It is difficult to balance tonal quality of the main, center, front effect and rear effect speakers, because they may be different in type and size, and their setting positions and heights are also different. The built-in CINEMA Equalizer enables you to balance tonal quality of the speakers easily by adjusting tonal quality of the main/center, front effect and rear effect channels individually. This is also useful to compensate for loss of tonal response of the main and center speakers when these speakers are placed behind the projection screen (if you use a projector in place of a TV). The CINEMA Equalizer consists of the High-shelving equalizer (HIGH) and the Parametric equalizer (PEQ). The High-shelving equalizer changes high frequency characteristics smoothly, and the Parametric equalizer boosts or cuts any selected frequency smoothly. Adjusting method 1. After selecting this function (title) in step 1 on page 32, press the + or – key. 2. Select the channels on which you will make adjustments by pressing the or key so that the arrow points the corresponding title. L, C, R ...............

REAR EFCT EQ) for the channels on which you will make adjustments is displayed. * The adjusting mode will not be displayed for the channels that are set to “OFF” in step 2. 5. Make adjustments for the selected channels. Select the item with the or key and change the value with the + or – key. HIGH: FRQ..................... Selects a turnover frequency of the High-shelving equalizer. GAIN ............................. Adjusts the maximum equalizing level. PEQ: FRQ ...................... Selects a frequency you will boost or cut. GAIN .............................. Adjusts the equalizing level on the selected frequency. * Adjustment can be made by monitoring sounds using the test tone. To use the test tone, press the TEST key so that “TEST DOLBY SUR.” or “TEST DSP” appears on the display. The test tone is fixed on the channels on which you make an adjustment and output from the corresponding speakers. It is recommended to make these adjustments together with the tonal quality adjustment of the center speaker on the function “6. CENTER GEQ”. Note Excessive increase of the GAIN level may cause an overload.

DECODER button. ● If a different audio source is selected with the input selector keys on the remote control transmitter while enjoying a video source, the sound from the newly selected audio source is heard, but the picture from the video source can still be seen. ● When you select an input source, the DSP program (or the state of no DSP program is used) which was used when the same input source was selected the last time will be automatically recalled. ● If a nonstandardized source is played back, or the unit playing back a source is misoperating, “INPUT DATA ERROR” appears on the display. This unit allows you to switch the input mode only for sources that input two or more types of signals to this unit. m For CD, MD/TAPE 1, TV/DBS and DVD/VCR 3 sources: The following two input modes are provided. AUTO: This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power of this unit. In this mode, input signal is automatically selected by the following order of priority. 1. Digital signal encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS, or Normal digital input signal (PCM) 2. Analog input signal (ANALOG) * For CD, TV/DBS and DVD/VCR 3 sources, if digital signals are input from both of the OPTICAL and COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the OPTICAL terminal is selected. DTS: In this mode, only digital input signal encoded with the DTS is selected even though other signals are input at the same time. Notes on input mode selection ● For the TV/DBS and DVD/VCR 3 sources, the input mode selected on the function “11. INPUT MODE” in the SET MENU mode is selected when you turn on the power of this unit. ● To play back an LD source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, set the input mode to “AUTO” or “AC-3 RF”. ● When you want to enjoy a source which has normal 2channel signals with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program, select the ANALOG mode. ● In the AUTO mode, there may be a case depending on some LD players or DVD players that when you make a search on a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS during playback and then playback is restored, sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital input signal is selected again. ● For sources PHONO, TUNER, TAPE 2, VCR 1, VCR 2 and V-AUX, the input mode cannot be changed because they input analog signals only to this unit. ● When the input source is changed to LD, CD, MD/TAPE 1, TV/DBS or DVD/VCR 3, or the input mode is changed, the currently selected input mode is shown on the display panel and the monitor screen. If changed to the AUTO mode, the type of selected input signal is also shown as figured below. TV/DBS VCR 1 VCR 2 DVD/VCR 3 V-AUX English Switching the input mode LD MD/TAPE 1 TUNER CD PHONO ANALOG In this mode, only analog input signal is selected even though digital signal is input at the same time. Select this mode when you want to use the analog input signal instead of the digital input signal. m For LD sources: The following five input modes are provided. AUTO: This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power to this unit. In this mode, input signal is automatically selected by the following order of priority. 1. Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF signal (DOLBY DIGITAL) 2. Digital signal encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS, or Normal digital input signal (PCM) 3. Analog input signal (ANALOG) AC-3 RF: In this mode, only Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF signal is selected. DTS: In this mode, only digital input signal encoded with the DTS is selected even though other signals are input at the same time. * However, if those operations are made when the test tone is output from this unit, the type of selected input signal will not be shown. (Only “AUTO” will be displayed.) Notes on playing back a source encoded with the DTS ● When you play back an LD or CD source with the DTS decoded (with the red “dts” indicator illuminated on the display) in the AUTO mode, a noise may be heard just after playback begins. To prevent such a noise, select the DTS mode. Be careful not to play back these sources in the ANALOG mode. If they are played back in the ANALOG mode, only a noise will be output from the speakers. ● If you play back a CD or LD source encoded with the DTS in the AUTO mode, this unit is locked in the DTSdecoding mode automatically to prevent the generation of noise possible in subsequent operations. In this state, the red “dts” indicator flashes. In this state, if you play back a CD or LD with normal (PCM) digital signals, no sound will be heard. To play back these sources normally, press the INPUT MODE button on the front panel or the input selector key for the currently selected source on the remote control transmitter so that “PCM” appears on the display. DIGITAL: In this mode, only digital input signal is selected even though other types of signals are input at the same time.

You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments. English USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP) In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with the DTS. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined operation of the YAMAHA DSP and the Dolby Digital (AC-3), the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or the DTS. This unit has 12 programs for digital sound field processing; 6 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 6 programs for Audio/Video sources. In addition, each program has two or three subprograms. All programs contain various parameters that can be adjusted to the listener’s taste. For details about digital sound field programs, refer to pages 50 to 54.

So, when you select the same input source next time, the same program is automatically called. ● If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT button. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect. ● When a monaural sound source is played with the program DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, no sound is heard from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode is set in the “NONE” position, the main speakers output the sound of the center channel. ● When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE control, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect. ● When a source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit is selected, the DSP cannot be used and the EFFECT button also will not function. 46 English To enjoy a video source encoded with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround, the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS Note If you change the LD (or CD) being played back with the DTS decoded to another disc not encoded with the DTS when the red “dts” indicator is illuminated, playing back the newly selected disc will output no sound. In this state, the red “dts” indicator flashes to show that this unit is locked in the DTSdecoding mode. To play back the disc normally, change the current DTSdecoding mode to another mode by pressing an input selector key on the remote control transmitter or the INPUT MODE button on the front panel so that the red “dts” indicator turns off. When you select the program No. 10, 11 or 12, and the input signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC3), Dolby Digital (AC-3) is automatically decoded. When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with the DTS, DTS is automatically decoded. The following indicators on the display panel show you what sound processing is being made. 1 2 To cancel the effect sound The EFFECT button on the front panel or the EFFECT ON/OFF key on the remote control transmitter make it simple to compare the normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound. 3 DIGITAL 4 5 PRO LOGIC DSP DIGITAL SOURCE AC 3 DTS PCM 1 Lights up when a DVD source encoded with the DTS is played back and the DTS is decoded. 2 Lights up when an LD source or a CD source encoded with the DTS is played back and the DTS is decoded. 3 Lights up when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is being decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is not in 2-channels. This indicator also lights up when the input mode is set to “AC-3 RF” even if no signal encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is input to this unit. 4 Lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic Surround is being decoded 5 Lights up when the Digital Sound Field Processor is turned on. To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound, press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button. Press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button a second time to restore the effect sound. Front panel EFFECT EFFECT Notes The Dolby Digital (AC-3) will not be decoded to the source that is not encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3). The DTS will not be decoded to the source that is not encoded with the DTS. ● If the input signals of source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) are in 2-channels only, the sound processing for them is similar to that for analog or PCM audio signals. ON/OFF or Notes If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS are input to this unit, signals of all channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers. ● ● If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed to turn effect sounds OFF when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS is decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, press the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key to turn effect sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS. ● If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed to turn effect sounds OFF when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded, the sampling frequency and channel formation of the decoded signal is shown on the display panel. In addition, for the program No. 10, 11 and 12, the name of the selected subprogram on the display panel or the monitor screen will change according to the type of decoding. (For details, refer to pages 53 to 54.) ● Remote control ex.) EFFECT OFF fs=48k in : 3/2 Sampling frequency is 48 kHz.

To adjust each level of them respectively, follow the method of “SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on pages 29 to 31. ● If the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode is set in the “NONE” position, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the center sound is automatically output from the left and right main speakers. ● Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in all the digital sound field programs. ● English Speakers The value of each speaker output level you set the last time will remain memorized even when this unit is in the standby mode. However, if the power cord is kept disconnected for more than one week, these values will be automatically changed back to the original factory settings. 49 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields were recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. Note The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments. Program No. 1 to 6: Hi-Fi DSP programs (for audio sources) ● ● ● DSP When the input signal is analog or PCM audio: ( ) Speaker output: main, rear, front effect When the input signal is encoded with the Dolby Digital (not in 2 channels): ( Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect DSP When the input signal is encoded with the DTS: ( ) Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect No. 1 2 50 PROGRAM CONCERT HALL 1 CONCERT HALL 2 SUBPROGRAM (TYPE) DIGITAL DSP ) FEATURE Hall A in Europe This is a large fan-shaped concert hall in Munich which has approximately 2500 seats. Almost the whole interior is made of wood. There is relatively little reflection from the right and left walls, and sounds spread finely and beautifully. Hall B in Europe This is a large shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 2500 seats. Almost the whole interior except the ceiling is made of wood, including mahogany reflective panels. Special reflective paneling above the stage produces strong frontal reflections which tend to reinforce the direct sound from the stage. This hall has a very solid, powerful sound. Hall C in Europe A classic shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 1700 seats. Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections. Those reflections and the reflections from all directions of the hall produce a very full, rich sound. Hall D in U.S.A. This is a large 2600-seat concert hall in the United States which features a fairly traditional European design. The interior is relatively simple, suggesting an American taste. Sound of the middle and high frequencies are richly and beautifully reproduced. Hall E in Europe A classic large shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 2200 seats. It has a circular stage and seats located behind the stage. Live Concert A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. You will experience the sound field with a great deal of presence sitting at about the center position near the stage. This sound field is also effective for karaoke. This is because you feel as if you are standing on a real stage. 3 4 5 6 PROGRAM CHURCH JAZZ CLUB ROCK CONCERT ENTERTAINMENT SUBPROGRAM (TYPE) FEATURE Tokyo The acoustic environment of an ordinary church with moderate reverberations. This is ideal for reproducing church music played by a pipe organ etc. Freiburg This program recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high pointed dome and columns along the sides. This interior produces very long reverberations. Royaumont This program features a sound field created by the refectory (dining hall) of the monastery, a beautiful medieval Gothic structure located in Royaumont on the outskirts of Paris. The dome-like spaces in the ceiling formed by the supporting pillars cause reverberations to echo and create a beautiful, lingering tone. Village Gate A jazz club in New York. It is in a basement and has a relatively spacious floor area. The reflection pattern is similar to that of a small hall. Village Vanguard A traditional New York jazz club located on 7th Avenue. This room has a low ceiling, and the “stage” is located in a corner. This program does not produce nearly as many reflections as the concert hall or church programs, but creates an intimate “close-to-the-music” feel. The Bottom Line This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line,” a famous New York jazz club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound. The Roxy Theatre The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music.

The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded. DJ With this program, the voice of a disc jockey sounds more clearly, and music entertains you with a rich sound field feeling. Classical/Opera This program provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining excessive reverberation. For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an opera. Pavilion This program reproduces vocals clearly, letting you feel the spaciousness of a pavilion. Reverberation, which is somewhat delayed, reproduces the live sound field unique to a pavilion, and helps to make a concert scene more exciting. Mono Movie This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.). Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a pleasant mix of conversations and picture. Variety/Sports Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as the news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the surround side, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly restrained.

In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, 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 with 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 58 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. 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 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. 56 DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing values of parameters, however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust those parameters. Even if this unit is in the standby mode, your custom sound fields will remain in the DSP’s memory for about two weeks. The following page details how to make your own sound fields. In addition to the “TYPE” parameter which selects the subprograms within each DSP program (e.g. “Hall A in Europe”, “Hall B in Europe” and “Hall C in Europe” for program 1, “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 custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your mood and music. Refer to “DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS” on pages 58 to 60 for a description of what each parameter does, how it effects the sound, and its control range. English SELECTING AND EDITING PROGRAM PARAMETERS This adjustment can be made only by using the remote control transmitter watching the monitor screen or the display panel. Note It is recommended to watch the monitor screen for making adjustments more easily than to watch the display panel. 1 Set the PARAMETER/SET MENU switch to the PARAMETER position.

(On the monitor screen, mark at the head of parameter name disappears at the initial value of the parameter.) * Notes ● For details about parameters, refer to pages 58 to 60. ● Parameter edits made in this way will remain in effect even with power cut due to power failure or the power plug disconnected from the AC outlet for up to about two weeks, after which all parameters, as well as other adjustments or setting changes on this unit, will return to their initial values or conditions. 57 DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ● ROOM SIZE P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size) How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound. 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. 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. 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. Control Range: 0.1 – 2.0 Standard setting is 1.0. Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all doubled). Level Level Direct sound Early reflections Level Direct sound Direct sound Early reflections Small Early reflections Large Time Small space Time Time Large space ● INIT. DLY (Initial Delay) P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay) How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent distance from the source 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. 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 – 99 milliseconds What it Does: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay) Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. Control Range: 1 – 99 milliseconds 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. Level Level Control Range: 1 – 49 milliseconds Direct sound Early reflections Small INIT. DLY 58 Time Level Large INIT. DLY Time INIT. DLY Time P. LIVENESS (Presence Liveness) How it Affects the Sound: This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall. English ● LIVENESS Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front presence sound field becomes. 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. 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 rear surround sound field becomes. What it Does: Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay. Control Range: 0 – 10. Level Level Small Large Time Dead Level Direct sound Time Live Time ● REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) How it Affects the Sound: Control Range: 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. 1.0 – 5.0 seconds. 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. 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). Level Level 60 dB Direct sound Level Early reflections Small 60 dB Time REV. TIME Reverberations Large 60 dB Time REV. TIME Reverberations REV. TIME Time Reverberations 59 ● REV. DELAY (Reverberation Delay) ● EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim) 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. Performs fine adjustment of the level of all the effect sounds. Control Range: –3 dB to 3 dB ● S. DELAY (Surround Delay) 0 – 250 milliseconds 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. Level Direct sound 60 dB Reverberations Time REV.DELAY REV.TIME ● REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level) This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes. Control Range: 0 – 100% Level Direct sound REV. LEVEL Time 60 Control Range: Control Range: When the Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded: 15 – 30 milliseconds When the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS is decoded: 0 – 15 milliseconds When a program without the Dolby Surround or the DTS encoded is used: 0 – 15 milliseconds English SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER If you use the SLEEP timer of this unit, you can make this unit turn into the standby mode. When you are going to sleep while enjoying a broadcast or other desired input source, this timer function is helpful. Notes ● The SLEEP timer can be controlled only with the remote control transmitter. ● The components on which the SLEEP timer is effective are the sources connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) on the rear panel of this unit.

I TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator Lights up when the remote control transmitter is transmitting infrared signals (when a command key is pressed). J LIGHT key If this key is pressed, some of the keys on the remote control unit light up for about 5 seconds. If this key is pressed while those keys are lighting up, they stop lighting. Note When using the keys to control Yamaha components, identify them with your component’s keys. If these keys are identical, their functions will be the same. For each key function, refer to the corresponding instruction in your component’s manual. 63 LEARNING NEW CONTROL FUNCTIONS (When the lid is open) This is a learning remote control transmitter. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to “learn” control functions from other remote control transmitters. By learning key-functions from other remote control transmitter, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient. Some of the “learning-capable” keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired. * See page 70 for the learning method. * See page 72 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions). Note If the memory capacity of the remote control transmitter becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote control transmitter, up to about 50 functions can be stored. Store new functions to the learnable-capable keys which are useful for you. Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4) In the “Learning-capable” keys, the keys numbered 1–4 in the illustration at left can have three functions. This is because they have three memory areas (A, B and C). (One function per area.) You can store new functions into the area B and C, and use three functions on a key by switching the memory areas with the A/B/C switch. (Area A cannot learn a new function.) 1 * TRANSMIT /LEARN CLEAR LEARN MACRO REC/PAUSE A/B MD/TAPE 1 To use these keys: 1.

Empty keys (1) These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from another remote control transmitter. For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of your TV’s power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your VCR’s power switch. About the marks shown on the remote control transmitter The marks on the remote control transmitter signify functions of keys, input sources, etc. Examples) (tape): (disc): (radio wave): About the lighting of keys When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3 seconds. When an input selector key in the group of selected memory area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of key group (1–3) which is the same as the mark of the selected input selector key lights up for about 3 seconds. Example) Tape deck, VCR, etc. CD player, LD player, etc. Tuner, TV/BS tuner, etc. These marks are helpful for storing new functions. Examples) • The area B of keys 1 is suitable for storing functions to control your VCR. • The area B of keys 3 is suitable for storing functions to control your TV/BS tuner. English Note If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the preset function will not be deleted, but disabled. When the learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored.

Notes • If the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for keys which have no function (empty), no command is carried out. According to your plan, store functions from other remote control transmitters into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page 70 for the learning method.) • While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote control transmitter (for example, if you want to rewind a tape on your VCR while listening to a CD), you should open the lid of the remote control transmitter and use the A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys. (If you press an input selector key with the lid closed to change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently playing CD source is canceled.) About the lighting of keys When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you will know what keys are available at a glance. OPERATION CONTROL TUNER Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed, all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the currently selected input selector key light up. 67 MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed) Preset macro keys are originally preset with macros. If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to page 71 for the learning method.) “Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several operations. The keys shown in the illustrations below (as preset macro keys) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual functions. Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control transmitter sequentially. (To know what key functions are sequentially carried out by pressing each preset macro key, see the next page.) Macros can be used only when the lid is closed and the MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.) Setting the MACRO switch OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of remote control transmitter is closed. QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals. SLOW: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 3 second intervals.

For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of TV, VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off even though you may not want it to do so. • – STANDBY • • • Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the “SLOW” position. Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote control transmitter directed at the main unit’s remote control sensor until the remote control transmitter finishes transmitting all command signals of the macro key. You can also use the OPERATION CONTROL keys while using the macro functions. 69 LEARNING A NEW FUNCTION 1 Place this remote control transmitter and the other remote control transmitter so that they face each other. 5 Press and hold the key (on the other remote control transmitter) which has the function you want to store.

In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control transmitters, no further learning is possible. ● If you close the lid while learning, and then about 5 seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before beginning learning operations is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 2. However, if you open the lid within 5 seconds, the mode before closing the lid is restored. ● There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control transmitter, this remote control transmitter will not be able to “learn” its signals. ● When you press the LEARN, MACRO or CLEAR button, or the RESET button inside of the battery compartment by using a sharp-pointed thing, be careful not to damage the button. If you will use a mechanical pencil, make sure that the lead is not coming out. English MAKING A NEW MACRO A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 68 to know what keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other keys. Note If you store a continuous command such as lowering of volume level, it will become a short command when it is carried out as a part of macro. 1 4 TRANSMIT /LEARN CLEAR LEARN MACRO Flashes slowly. * If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the MACRO button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you pressed the MACRO button is restored.

If this occurs, press the CLEAR button again. • MACRO switch is switched to another position. • Another key is pressed. • There is no operation for about 30 seconds. 3 Press and hold the CLEAR button again. While holding the CLEAR button pressed, press and hold the MASTER VOLUME and keys simultaneously until the indicator flashes 7 times. TRANSMIT /LEARN MUTE Flashes. 72 If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. English TROUBLESHOOTING General SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY The unit fails to turn on when the STANDBY/ON switch is pressed, or turns into the standby mode suddenly soon after the power is turned on. Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely inserted. Firmly plug in the power cord. The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is not set to either end closely. Set the switch to either end closely. It happens that this unit does not work normally. There is an influence of strong external noise (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or a misoperation on this unit while using this unit. Turn this unit into the standby mode and disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. After about 30 seconds have passed, connect the power and operate this unit again. No sound or no picture. Incorrect output cord connections. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Appropriate input source is not selected. Select the appropriate input source with the INPUT SELECTOR or the TAPE 2 MON/EXT. DECODER button. Speaker connections are not secure. Secure the connections. Digital signals other than PCM audio and the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (or the DTS) encoded signals which this unit cannot reproduce are input to this unit by playing a CD-ROM etc. Play a source whose signals this unit can reproduce. No picture There is no S video terminal connection between this unit and the TV, though S video signals are input to this unit. Connect this unit’s S VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal to the TV’s S video input terminal. The sound suddenly goes off. The protection circuit has been activated because of short circuit etc. Turn this unit into the standby mode, and then turn on to reset the protection circuit. The SLEEP timer has functioned. Cancel the SLEEP timer function. Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control. Adjust it to the appropriate position. Incorrect cord connections. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. The EFFECT button is set off. Press the EFFECT button to turn it on. A Dolby Surround (or DTS) decoding program is being used with material not encoded with Dolby Surround (or DTS). Use a different sound field program. The function “1E. FRONT MIX” in the SET MENU mode is set to the “ON-5ch” position. Set to the “OFF-7ch” position. PRO LOGIC/Normal, DOLBY DIGITAL/ Normal or DTS DIGITAL SUR./Normal of the DSP program No. 12 is selected. Select another program (or subprogram). The function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode is set to the “NONE” position. Select the appropriate position. One of the DSP programs No. 1 to No. 6 is selected when the input signal of source is 2-channel stereo (analog/PCM). Select another program. The input signals of source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS do not have center channel signals. Refer to the instructions for the source currently played. The function “1D. LFE/BASS OUT” in the SET MENU mode is set in the SWFR or BOTH position, though your system does not include a subwoofer. Select the MAIN position. Output mode selection for each channel (MAIN, CENTER or REAR) is improper. Make output mode selections suitable for your speaker system. Incorrect cord connections. Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. No connection from the turntable to the GND terminal. Make the GND connection between the turntable and this unit. The volume level is low while playing a record. The record is being played on a turntable with an MC cartridge. The player should be connected to the unit through the MC head amplifier. The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted. The component connected to the MD/TAPE 1 REC terminals of this unit is turned off. Turn on the power to the component. Only one side speaker outputs the sound. No sound from the effect speakers. No sound from the front effect speakers. No sound from the center speaker. Poor bass reproduction. Sound “hums”. 73 SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY DSP parameters and some other settings on this unit cannot be changed. The function “9. MEMORY GUARD” in the SET MENU mode is set to the “ON” position. Set to the “OFF” position. “INPUT DATA ERROR” appears on the display and no sound is heard. A nonstandardized source is played back, or the unit playing back a source is misoperating. Check the source, or turn off the unit playing back the source and then turn on again. The sound field cannot be recorded. It is not possible to record the sound field on a tape deck connected to this unit’s MD/TAPE 1 REC terminals. This unit do not operate properly. The internal microcomputer has been frozen by an external electric shock (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or power supply with low voltage. Unplug the AC power cord from the wall AC outlet, and then plug in again after about one minute. A source cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit. The source unit is connected to this unit between digital terminals only. Make additional connection between analog terminals. Noise from nearby TV or tuner. This unit is too close to the affected equipment. Move the unit further away from the affected equipment. The sound is degraded when listening with the headphones connected to the compact disc player or tape deck that are connected with this unit. This unit is in the standby mode. Turn the power to this unit on. Remote control transmitter SYMPTOM The remote control transmitter does not work. The remote control transmitter does not function properly. Learning cannot be made successfully. (The TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator does not light up or flash.) Continuous functions such as volume are learned, but operate only for a moment before stopping. 74 CAUSE REMEDY The batteries of this remote control transmitters are weak. Replace the batteries with new ones and press the RESET button on the remote control transmitter. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Press the RESET button on the remote control transmitter. Wrong distance or angle. The remote control transmitter will function from a maximum range of 6 meters, no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit. Change position of the main unit. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Press the RESET button on the remote control transmitter. The batteries of this remote control transmitter and/or the other remote control transmitter are weak. Replace the batteries (and press the RESET button for this remote control transmitter). The distance between the two remote control transmitters is too long or too short. Place the remote control transmitters with the proper distance. The signal coding or modulation of the other remote control transmitter is not compatible with this remote control transmitter. Learning is not possible. Memory capacity is full. Further learning is not possible without deleting unnecessary commands. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Press the RESET button on the remote control transmitter. Learning process incomplete. Be sure to press and hold the function key on the other remote control transmitter until the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator begins flashing slowly. SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY The player which plays back the source is not connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit. The player must be connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit besides analog audio signal terminal connections. The “ANALOG” input mode is selected on this unit. Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn on the DTS decoder built into this unit. A percussive noise is heard when you begin playing back a source encoded with the DTS. If the “AUTO” input mode is selected, depending on some sources, there may be a case that a noise is heard while this unit is identifying the format of input signal. Set the input mode of the currently selected input source to “DTS”. No sound is heard when you play back a source encoded with the DTS, even though the “AUTO” or “DTS” input mode is selected on this unit. The DTS decoder built into this unit does not function because the player has a digital volume control and it is set at a position other than “maximum”, “neutral” or “ineffective”. Set the player’s digital volume control at the maximum, neutral or ineffective position. No sound is heard when you play back an MD onto which you have recorded a source encoded with the DTS. A source encoded with the DTS cannot be recorded onto an MD. No sound is heard when you play back a DAT onto which you have recorded a source encoded with the DTS. Depending on a DAT deck, a source encoded with the DTS cannot be recorded onto a DAT. No sound is heard when you play back a source (CD etc.) even though the currently selected input mode is “AUTO”. In the “AUTO” mode, the DTS-decoding mode cannot be changed to the normal (PCM) digital signal input mode automatically. A loud hissing noise is heard when you play back a source encoded with the DTS. English When playing back a source encoded with the DTS: Press the INPUT MODE button on the front panel or the input selector button (for the currently selected source) on the remote control transmitter so that “PCM” appears on the display. Notes • It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with the DTS, so the player which plays back a source must be connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D/A converter is used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard. • If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with the DTS, the “PCM” indicator lights up on the display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the normal (PCM) digital signal input mode to prevent a noise from being output. • A source encoded with the DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a source encoded with the DTS cannot be played back. The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback). 75 SPECIFICATIONS Minimum RMS Output Power Per Channel (When both channels are driven) MAIN L/R (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.015% THD, 8Ω) ....................................................................... 110W+110W CENTER (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.015% THD, 8Ω) ........ 110W REAR L/R (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.015% THD, 8Ω) ........................................................................110W+110W FRONT L/R (1 kHz, 0.05% THD, 8Ω).................35W+35W Maximum Power [China and General models only] 1 kHz, 10% THD, 6Ω (When both channels are driven) MAIN L/R ........................................................150W+150W CENTER ....................................................................150W REAR L/R .......................................................150W+150W FRONT L/R.........................................................45W+45W Dynamic Power Per Channel (by IHF Dynamic Headroom Measuring Method) [U.S.A., Canada, China and General models only] MAIN L/R (8Ω/6Ω/4Ω) (When both channels are driven) .......... 150W/180W/240W Dynamic Headroom [U.S.A., Canada, China and General models only] MAIN L/R (8Ω) ............................................................. 1.3 dB DIN Standard Output Power Per Channel [Europe and U.K. models only] MAIN L/R (1 kHz, 0.7% THD, 4Ω) (When both channels are driven)................................ 180W IEC Power [Europe and U.K. models only] MAIN L/R (1 kHz, 0.015% THD, 8Ω) (When both channels are driven)................................ 120W Damping Factor MAIN L/R, CENTER (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 8Ω) ......................................................................
