PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha AV processor/amplifier –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound
Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing
to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system,
and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on.
In addition, you get incredible realism from sources encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Decoder.
Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
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 venues such as an actual concert
hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately recreate one of
several actual 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
Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro
Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro
Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels:
the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for
dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound
effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The
center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal
positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the
screen while experiencing good stereo imaging.
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded
video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When
you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit,
the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and
distributes the surround-sound effects.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital
signal processing system. This system improves the stability of
sound at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between
channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is
more accurate compared with conventional analog signal
processing systems.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you the best performance without
manual adjustment.

Corporation. “Dolby”, “AC-3”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
Dolby Surround sound system shows its 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 is 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 field.
The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP is used
on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC ENHANCED”.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these programs are
created by the combination of Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA
DSP technology.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.
In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as
the rear speakers. If the program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or
DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, conversations
will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be
excellent.
• Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE”
position. (For details, refer to page 18.)
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED is selected, the center sound is output from the
left and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
• Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM”
position. (For details, refer to page 18.)
SPEAKER SETUP
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with
this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker
Configuration” shown below.)
The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present
stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds
(dialog etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main speakers,
although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the
maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: main speakers (your normal
stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
Main: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.
Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded
speaker.)

How to Connect to the REAR and CENTER SPEAKERS terminals
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and –
markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage
this unit and/or speakers.
Note
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

On main speaker connection
This unit is not equipped with amplifiers for driving main
speakers, so connect an external amplifier (power amplifier,
integrated amplifier, receiver, etc.) for driving main speakers to
this unit.
Connect the MAIN OUTPUT terminals of this unit to the MAIN
IN (or equivalent) terminals of the external amplifier, and
connect the main speakers to the speaker terminals of the
external amplifier.
Notes
●
If the external amplifier does not have the MAIN IN (or
equivalent) terminals, this unit can be connected to the AUX
(or TAPE PB) input terminals of the amplifier. If you did so,
make sure to select the “AUX” (or “TAPE”) input source
position and do not change to another input source
selection.
●
To obtain the best performance of this unit, set the volume
control on the external amplifier to about the halfway
position between the min. and max.
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. For connecting two center speakers, follow the
method shown below.
On subwoofer connection
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass
frequencies.
If you use one subwoofer, connect either of the SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT terminals 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 OUTPUT
terminal to the INPUT terminal of the amplifier driving a
subwoofer, and the other SUBWOOFER OUTPUT 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.

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 was 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 FEATURE
This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC The application of a sophisticated digital signal processing system reduces crosstalk and directs or steers
the sound source more smoothly and precisely, as compared to conventional types.
This program is also used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker
ENHANCED
systems of a 35 mm movie theater. This effect creates a wide surround sound field, and expands the
sound stage with an improved presence image. This program is used for musical based movies, as well as
drama and comedy based movies.
CONCERT VIDEO
This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, the
orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall.
MONO MOVIE
This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly mono
setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending an
immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono movies, news
broadcasts and dialog.
STADIUM
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily
spacious feel of a large stadium.
DISCO
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. The
sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.
ROCK CONCERT This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively sound field.
CONCERT HALL
In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an expansive large
hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.
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 Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with
Dolby Surround. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP
program including a combined operation of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround.

1 Follow steps 1 – 5 shown in “BASIC OPERATIONS” on
page 20.
2 Select the desired program that is suitable for the
source.
The selected program name is shown on the display.
3 If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of
each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding
descriptions on page 25 and 26.)
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 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 CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, STADIUM,
DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL is selected,
no sound is heard from the center speaker.
●
When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY PRO
LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, no sound is
heard from the main speakers and the rear speakers.
Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if
the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the main
speakers output the sound of the center channel.
●
To select a DSP program on the remote control transmitter,
first turn the DSP on so that a program name lights up on
the display by pressing the EFFECT key. Next, select a
desired DSP program by pressing the or side of
PROGRAM key.
* Pressing the PROLOGIC or ENHANCED key turns
the DSP on and selects the corresponding program
directly.

Adjustment of DELAY TIME
You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of
the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the
effect sound from the rear speakers.
The larger the value, the later the effect sound is generated.
This adjustment can be made to all programs individually.
