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 10 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.The
operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3)
decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP
program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and
the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.
Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced
sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the
sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice
something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert
hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic
reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it
possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in
your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live
concert.What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the
acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters,
etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate any
one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.
FEATURES

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 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.
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a
totally new sound experiences.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of multi-channel digital
audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format
developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of 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 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.
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.

English
Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from
Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-3) will
also be applied to DBS, CATV, DVD 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.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect
of Dolby Digital (AC-3) become the most suitable for your audio
system and the listening conditions.
● Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so
that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.
● Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to
either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER
terminals to maximize system performance.
● Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN
SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to
maximize system performance.
Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA 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 YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA
DSP technology.
CINEMA DSP
8
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 are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo
theater.
This combination is available when the sound field program No.
2, No. 3 or No. 4 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) + 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 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) sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you
are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater.
This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the sound field program No.
2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is
encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (except in 2-channels).

Setting Up Your Speaker System
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field
quality with a full five-speaker system setup, using one extra pair of
effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center
speaker for dialog.We therefore recommend that you use a five-
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 five speaker system later.
Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended
When playing back a source with the DSP programs No. 1
through No. 4, or when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded with
any DSP program used, if the source contains center-channel
signals, 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 the LFE (low frequency effect)
sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) decoded.You may wish to choose the convenience
of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which
has its own built-in power amplifier.

5 Speaker System
This is the recommended speaker
system, providing the best sound
effects.
When a normal stereo source is
played back with the sound field
programs No. 5 through No. 10, using
the effect speakers reproduces
effective sound field. When using the
sound field programs No. 1 through
No. 4 or when using any program with
the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the
center speaker provides precise center
localization.
CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML
or WIDE. (See page 35.)
4 Speaker System
Simplest system without center
speaker.
When a normal stereo source is
played back with the sound field
programs No. 5 through No. 10, a
sound effect matching that of a 5-
speaker system can be obtained.
When using the sound field programs
No. 1 through No. 4 or when using any
program with the Dolby Digital (AC-3)
decoded, center sound is output from
the left and right main speakers.
CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM.
(See page 35.)

Speakers and Speaker Placement
Your full five-speaker system will require two speaker pairs:the
MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo 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 and the REAR SPEAKERS.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.
Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.
They should be nearly six feet up from the floor.
Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN
SPEAKERS.(To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or
below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded
speaker.)
If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo
Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical
because low bass tones are not highly directional.

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (OPTICAL AND COAXIAL)
JACKS
If your LD (DVD) player, TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped
with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output jacks, they can be
connected to this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal
input jacks.
To make a connection between optical digital audio signal
jacks, remove the cover from each jack, 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) jack of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with
the same named analog audio signal jacks of this unit, because
digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected
to this unit, and digital signal also will not be output from the
AUDIO SIGNAL ROOM 2 OUT jacks.You can switch the selection
of input signals between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 46
for details.)
NOTE:When connecting an audio/video unit to both of the digital
and analog jacks of this unit, make sure to connect to both jacks of
the same name.
NOTE: Be sure to attach the cover when the OPTICAL jack is not
being used, in order to protect the jack from dust.
NOTE: All digital audio signal input jacks are applicable to the
sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

Notes on connecting with an LD player equipped
with an AC-3 RF output
If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital
signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC-
3 RF signal output jack to this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital
signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase).
First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to
the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next,
connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF
demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack
of this unit.
This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded
with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit.
It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s
analog audio signal input jacks regardless of the AC-3 RF signal
connection, for playing back an LD source with the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).
If desired, you can also connect the digital signal output jack
(for 2-channel audio signals) of the LD player to this unit. If you will
do so, connect it to the COAXIAL digital signal input jack of this
unit, and connect the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL digital
signal input jack of this unit.
By this connection, if the input mode of the DVD/LD source is in
“AUTO”, you can enjoy listening to sounds decoded with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) when you play a disc encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) though signals are input to both OPTICAL and COAXIAL
digital signal input jacks of this unit simultaneously (because
signals input to the OPTICAL jack take priority of signals input to
the COAXIAL jack).
See page 46 for details about switching the input mode.
NOTES
●
If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play
a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the
signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case,
switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely.
However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1,
you do not have to switch it off.
●
When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must
switch off the power to the RF demodulator.

CONNECTING TO S VIDEO JACKS
If your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. and your monitor
are equipped with “S” (high-resolution) video terminals, connect
them to this unit’s S VIDEO jacks, and connect this unit’s
S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the “S” video input of your
monitor. Otherwise, connect the composite video jacks from your
video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. to the VIDEO jacks of this
unit, and connect this unit’s VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the
composite video input of your monitor.
NOTE: If video signals are sent to both S VIDEO input and VIDEO
input jacks, the signals will be sent to their respective output jacks
independently.
NOTE: If your unit is the General Model, be sure the NTSC/PAL
switch has been correctly set to the standard that your video
equipment employs. U.S.A. and Canada models have no switch
and use the NTSC standard, while other models without a switch
use the PAL standard.
Notes about the Video superimpose
● If you watch a video source that is connected to both S VIDEO
and VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display
information are output from only the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jack.
● When no video signal is input to either S VIDEO or VIDEO input
jacks of this unit, signals of screen display information are
output from both S VIDEO MONITOR OUT and VIDEO
MONITOR OUT jacks with a color background.
* For the General Model, if the NTSC/PAL switch on the rear
panel is set to “PAL”, nothing will be output from either S
VIDEO MONITOR OUT or VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack in this
case.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.
● Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength.
Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one.If you experience poor reception
quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Optional outdoor FM antenna
Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the
best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of the feeder cable is also important.Flat ribbon-
shaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper
and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows
and around rooms.Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much
better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of
weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal
conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial
cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the
point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is
selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that
type of cable.
Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a
75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.
Notes for FM antenna installation
● To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far
from heavy traffic as possible.
● Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible.Do
not bundle or roll up excess cable.
● The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from
reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.
Optional outdoor AM antenna
In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it
may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a
metal stake driven into moist earth.

CONNECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible.If the connections
are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure
that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and –
markings are observed.If these wires are reversed, the sound will
be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires
touch each other or any other metal part as this could damage this
unit and/or speakers.
NOTE: Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
Red: positive (+)
Black:negative (–)
➀ Unscrew the knob.
➁ Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”)
insulation from the speaker
wires.]
➂ Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.
NOTE: Banana Plug connections are also possible (except
Singapore model). Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into
the corresponding terminal.

CONNECTING THE MAIN SPEAKERS TO THIS UNIT
One or two sets of MAIN speakers can be connected to this
unit.
If you use two sets of MAIN speakers, connect one set to the
MAIN SPEAKERS A terminals, and connect another set to the B
terminals. If you use only one set of MAIN speakers, connect them
to either the MAIN SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
It is also possible to use an external power amplifier if more
power is desired. In this case, connect the MAIN OUTPUT jacks to
the INPUT jacks of a stereo power amplifier with a stereo pin
cable—making sure to connect the left and right channels
correctly. Connect the MAIN speakers to the speaker output
terminals of the power amplifier.
Set the SPEAKERS switch A or B (or both A and B) on the
front panel corresponding to the main speakers you will use to the
ON position. Set the switch for the main speakers you will not use
to the OFF position. Selected main speakers are shown by the
lighting of “SPEAKERS A” and/or “SPEAKERS B” on the display
panel.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FUNCTIONS
1. 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)
is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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.
This is for making sounds from the left main, center and right
main speakers reach your listening position at the same time by
delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the
center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the
distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening
position.
2. DYNAMIC 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: “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 possible
to increase the sound output level as high as a movie
theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your
room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard
as well because they will be lost among noises in your
environment.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to
reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home
audio format by “compressing” the data.
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.
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.
44
3. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE
(low frequency effect) channel)
Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step)
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. (See page 6
for details about the LFE channel.)
4. CENTER SPEAKER 6. MAIN SPEAKER
5. REAR SPEAKER 7. LFE/BASS OUT
See pages 35 to 37 for details. (Once you have selected proper
modes, you do not have to make a setting change until any
alteration is made in your speaker system.)
8. INPUT MODE (Selecting the initial input mode of the
sources connected to the TV/DBS input jacks)
For the sources connected to the TV/DBS input jacks of this
unit only, you can designate the input mode that is automatically
selected when the power of this unit is switched on.
AUTO: In this position, the AUTO input mode is always selected
when the power of this unit is switched on.

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 pages 72 to 73 for the learning method.
* See pages 75 to 76 for clearing a learned function (or all
learned functions).
NOTE
If the memory capacity of the remote control unit becomes full, no
further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are
not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store only
Yamaha codes into this remote control unit, 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 of groups 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.)
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.
NOTE
The area A of any key cannot learn a new function.To store a new
function to a key, store it into the area B or C.

Empty keys (1, 2)
These are empty keys.Each key can learn a function from
another remote control unit.
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.
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. (For information
on clearing a learned function, refer to pages 75 to 76.)
About the marks shown on the remote control unit
The marks on the remote control unit signify functions of keys,
input sources, etc.
Examples)
(tape): Shows tape deck, VCR, etc.
(disc): Shows CD player, LD player, etc.
(radio wave): Shows 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 (
1–3) 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
1–3 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.

When the lid of the remote control unit is closed, you
can easily operate Yamaha components including learned
functions by using the OPERATION CONTROL keys.
When the lid is closed, the OPERATION CONTROL
keys substitute for the keys of group numbered
1, 2 or
3 and the (+10) key on the left 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 you use 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
unit is set to “OFF”, when the lid is closed, the SYSTEM

NOTES
• If the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for keys which
has no function (empty), no command is carried out.
According to your plan, store functions from other remote
control units into an empty area of those keys.(Refer to pages
72 to 73 for the learning method.)
• While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate
another unit by using the remote control unit (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 unit 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 can 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 right illustrations (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
unit 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. (See page 74 for the learning
method.)
Setting the MACRO switch
OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of
remote control unit 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.

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 will 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
unit directed at the main unit’s remote control sensor until the
remote control unit finishes transmitting all command signals of
the macro key.
• You can use the OPERATION CONTROL keys also while using
the macro functions.

FEATURES 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. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder. Digital Sound Field Processing What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert. What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home. English 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 10 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. 5 6 Dolby Pro Logic Surround Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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. The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a totally new sound experiences. This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems. 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. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment. 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. Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of 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 channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect of Dolby Digital (AC-3) become the most suitable for your audio system and the listening conditions. Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA 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. English Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-3) will also be applied to DBS, CATV, DVD 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. 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. CINEMA DSP ● ● ● Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so that it will be suitable for the listening conditions. Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to maximize system performance. Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to maximize system performance. The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA DSP technology. 7 Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields Dolby Digital (AC-3) + 3 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 are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater. Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital (AC3)-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) sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time. This combination is available when the sound field program No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2channels. 8 This combination is available when the sound field program No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (except in 2-channels). If you connect your video cassette recorder, LD player, video monitor, etc. to this unit, you can take advantage of this unit’s capability to display program titles and information for various setting changes and adjustments on your video monitor’s screen. This information will be superimposed over the video image. English Video superimpose If there is no video source connected or it is turned off, the information will be displayed over a blue colored background. TEST DOLBY SUR.

SPEAKERS A DSP 9 SPEAKER SETUP Setting Up Your Speaker System Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full five-speaker system setup, using one extra pair of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a fivespeaker 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 five speaker system later. When playing back a source with the DSP programs No. 1 through No. 4, or when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded with any DSP program used, if the source contains center-channel signals, 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 the LFE (low frequency effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier. 10 4 Speaker System This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects. Simplest system without center speaker. When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, using the effect speakers reproduces effective sound field. When using the sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or when using any program with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the center speaker provides precise center localization. When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, a sound effect matching that of a 5speaker system can be obtained. When using the sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or when using any program with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, center sound is output from the left and right main speakers. CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML or WIDE. (See page 35.) CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM. (See page 35.) English 5 Speaker System 11 Speakers and Speaker Placement Your full five-speaker system will require two speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo 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 and the REAR SPEAKERS. Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position. Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly six feet up from the floor. Main speaker 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. 12 Rear speaker Center speaker Subwoofer CONTROLS & THEIR FUNCTIONS 1 2 3 NATURAL SOUND 4 AV RECEIVER RX–V992 5 6 7 8 English FRONT PANEL CINEMA DSP DIGITAL/ PRO LOGIC ENHANCED MOVIE THEATER TV SPORTS STADIUM DISCO ROCK CONCERT JAZZ CLUB CHURCH CONCERT HALL EFFECT VOLUME l6 VCR 2 VCR 1 20 DVD/LD l2 28 8 POWER A/B/C/D/E 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 VIDEO AUX TAPE (MD) TV/DBS TUNER PHONO CD 4 40 2 60 8 0 –dB PHONES SPEAKERS A BASS BASS TONE EXTENSION BYPASS l B 0 2 OFF * 0 AB C 0 3 4 5 4 5 D l 2 3 4 BALANCE l 2 3 4 5 9 l 2 3 ON TREBLE l 5 0 2 REC OUT/ ROOM 2 SELECTOR l 2 3 3 4 L 5 E SOURCE DVD/LD TV/DBS 5 R TUNER VCR 1 4 FM/AM DOWN TUNING UP DELAY/CENTER /REAR/SWFR SET MENU VIDEO AUX S VIDEO TAPE (MD) MEMORY EDIT VIDEO L AUDIO R TUNING MODE CD VCR 2 PHONO MAN’L/AUTO FM AUTO/MAN’L MONO VIDEO AUX F G P HI K L N O J M (General Model) For control keys on the remote control unit, see pages 61 to 63. 13 1 POWER Switch Turns this unit on and off. 2 Standby Indicator (Except U.S.A. and Canada models) While the power of this unit is on, pressing the (SYSTEM POWER) OFF key on the remote control unit switches this unit to the standby mode.

Consult your dealer if unsure of the correct setting. 21 REAR PANEL SWITCH AND CONTROL SETTINGS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTIONS There are several switches and controls on the rear panel that you’ll have to check before operating your system, and it’s a good idea to do it before you connect cables. First, locate the MAIN LEVEL slide switch (F). Make sure the MAIN LEVEL switch is set to “0 dB”. Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the white plug for the “L” jacks. For General model only, set the NTSC/PAL switch (E) to the position corresponding to the standard which your video equipment employs and set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (2) to the position suitable for the frequency spacing in your area. For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA type pin plug cables with the exception described later. For the setting of IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch (0), see page 34. For the setting of the center speaker switch (9), see page 32. With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color. 22 English CONNECTING AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCE EQUIPMENT TO THIS UNIT BASIC CONNECTIONS * If you have YAMAHA audio/video unit numbered as 1, 3 or 4 on the rear panel, connections can be made easily by making sure to connect the output (or input) terminals of each unit to the same-numbered terminals of this unit.

If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC3 RF signal output jack to this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase). First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack of this unit. This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit. NOTES If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely. However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off. ● When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must switch off the power to the RF demodulator. ● English Notes on connecting with an LD player equipped with an AC-3 RF output LD player It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s analog audio signal input jacks regardless of the AC-3 RF signal connection, for playing back an LD source with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).

The antenna may be hung on a wall. ● The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit. Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbonshaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of cable. 300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable Notes for FM antenna installation ● To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible. ● Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable. ● The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures. English Optional outdoor FM antenna Optional outdoor AM antenna In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna. GND terminal For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth. Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a 75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections. 300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm antenna adapter 29 CONNECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any other metal part as this could damage this unit and/or speakers. NOTE: Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit. Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–) 2 1 3 30 ➀ Unscrew the knob. ➁ Insert the bare wire.

Select any desired position or edit parameters on the function. Front panel Remote control or In the same way, make a setting change or adjustment on any other function. 42 1. 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) is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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. This is for making sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position. 2. DYNAMIC 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: “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 possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard as well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data. 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. 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. English DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FUNCTIONS 43 3. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel) Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step) 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. (See page 6 for details about the LFE channel.) 4. CENTER SPEAKER 5. REAR SPEAKER 6. MAIN SPEAKER 7. LFE/BASS OUT See pages 35 to 37 for details.

In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control units, no further learning is possible. • If the lid is closed while learning and about 5 seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 2. However, if the lid is opened within 5 seconds, the mode before the lid was closed is restored. • There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control unit, this remote control unit will not be able to “learn” its signals. English 5 Press and hold the key (on the other remote control unit) which has the function you want to store. 6 Repeat step 3–5 to store more functions. 7 When you finish the learning operation, press the LEARN button. CLEAR LEARN MACRO 73 MAKING A NEW MACRO A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 69 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. 3 Press a key whose function you want to store as the first function of the new macro.

The unit turns off suddenly soon after the power is turned on. Hum. No sound. No sound from the effect speakers. No sound from the center speaker. Poor bass reproduction. The sound suddenly goes off. The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted. The sound field cannot be recorded. POSSIBLE CAUSE AC cord not properly plugged in. The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is not set to the upper or the lower end exactly. Bad cable connection. Bad or incorrect input connection. Incorrect input source selection. Digital signals other than PCM audio or the Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded signals which this unit cannot reproduce are input to this unit by playing a CD-ROM etc. The EFFECT switch is set off. A Dolby Surround decoding program is being used with material not encoded with Dolby Surround. The CENTER SPEAKERS mode is in “PHNTM”. One of the sound field programs No. 5 to No. 10 is selected when the input signal of source is 2channel stereo (analog/PCM). The input signals of source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) do not have center channel signals. The LFE/BASS OUT mode is in the SWFR or BOTH position, though your system does not include a subwoofer. Output mode selection for each channel (MAIN, CENTER or REAR) is improper. The protection circuit has activated because of short circuit etc. The power to the component connected to the REC OUT jacks of this unit is off. It is not possible to record the sound field on a tape deck connected to this unit’s TAPE REC OUT jacks. WHAT TO DO Carefully plug AC plug into outlet. Set the switch to the upper or the lower end exactly. English General Firmly plug in all connection cables. Check connections. Select the appropriate input source with the input selector buttons. Play a source whose signals this unit can reproduce. Press the EFFECT switch to turn it on. Use a different sound field program. Select the appropriate mode. Select another program. Refer to the instructions for the source currently played. Select the MAIN position. Make output mode selections suitable for your speaker system. Turning the unit off and then on will reset the protection circuit. Turn the power to the component on. 77 PROBLEM This unit will not operate properly. A source cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit. Noise from nearby TV or tuner. The sound is degraded when listening with the headphones connected to the compact disc player or cassette deck that are connected with this unit. POSSIBLE CAUSE The internal microcomputer has been frozen by an external electric shock (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or power supply with low voltage. The source unit is connected to this unit between digital jacks only. This unit is too close to the affected equipment. The power to this unit is off. WHAT TO DO Unplug the AC power cord from the wall AC outlet, and then plug in again after about one minute. POSSIBLE CAUSE The batteries of this remote control unit are weak. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Wrong distance or angle. WHAT TO DO Replace the batteries with new ones and press the RESET button on the remote control unit. Press the RESET button on the remote control unit. The remote control unit will function from a maximum range of 6 meters, no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Change position of the main unit. Make additional connection between analog jacks. Move the unit further away from the affected equipment. Turn the power to this unit on. Remote control unit PROBLEM The remote control unit does not work. The remote control unit 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. 78 Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remotecontrol sensor of the main unit. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. The batteries of this remote control unit and/or the other remote control unit are weak. The distance between the two remote control units is too long or too short. The signal coding or modulation of the other remote control unit is not compatible with this remote control unit. Memory capacity is full. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Learning process incomplete. Press the RESET button on the remote control unit. Replace the batteries (and press the RESET button for this remote control unit). Place the remote control units with the proper distance. Learning is not possible. Further learning is not possible without deleting unnecessary commands. Press the RESET button on the remote control unit. Be sure to press and hold the function key on the other remote control until the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator begins flashing slowly. PROBLEM FM stereo reception is noisy. There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. A desired FM station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. A desired AM station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening). POSSIBLE CAUSE Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. There is multipath interference. WHAT TO DO Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual tuning mode. The station is too weak. Use the manual tuning method. Use a high quality directional FM antenna. Repeat the presetting procedure. This unit has been unplugged for a long period. Weak signal or loose antenna connections. Noises will result from ligtning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. A television set is being used nearby. English Tuner Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath interference. Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception. Use the manual tuning method. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all noise. Relocate this unit away from the TV. 79 SPECIFICATIONS AUDIO SECTION Minimum RMS Output Power Per Channel Main (20 Hz – 20 kHz 0.04% THD 8Ω) ........................................... 80W+80W Center (20 Hz – 20 kHz 0.07% THD 8Ω) ................................................. 80W Rear (20 Hz – 20 kHz 0.07% THD 8Ω) ........................................... 80W+80W Dynamic Power Per Channel (by IHF Dynamic Headroom Measuring Method) MAIN L/R (8Ω/6Ω/4Ω/2Ω) ............................................. 130W/160W/200W/240W Maximum Output Power (1 kHz 10% THD 8Ω) [General model only] MAIN L/R ..................................................................................... 128W+128W CENTER ................................................................................................. 128W REAR L/R .................................................................................... 128W+128W Dynamic Headroom [U.S.A. and Canada models] MAIN L/R (8Ω) ............................................................................................ 2.11 dB Power Band Width 0.09% THD 40W/8Ω................................................................ 10 Hz to 50 kHz Damping Factor MAIN L/R (20 Hz – 20 kHz 8Ω) .................................................... 160 or more Input Sensitivity/Impedance (100W/8Ω) CD/TAPE/DVDzLD/TVzDBS/VCR/VIDEO AUX .......................... 150 mV/47 kΩ PHONO MM................................................................................ 2.5 mV/47 kΩ Maximum Input Signal CD/TAPE/DVDzLD/TVzDBS/VCR/VIDEO AUX (1 kHz 0.5% THD, EFFECT ON) ............................................... 2.3V or more PHONO MM (1 kHz 0.04% THD) ............................................................... 110 mV or more Output Level/Impedance REC OUT.................................................................................. 150 mV/2.7 kΩ ROOM2 OUT ............................................................................ 150 mV/1.5 kΩ PRE OUT MAIN, CENTER, REAR ............................................................... 2.6V/1.1 kΩ SUBWOOFER (MAIN SPEAKERS: SMALL) .............................. 4.0V/1.2 kΩ 80 Headphone Jack Rated Output/Impedance Output Level (CD Input 150 mV, RL=8Ω).................................................. 0.5V Impedance .............................................................................................. 390Ω Frequency Response (20 Hz – 20 kHz) CD/TAPE/DVDzLD/TVzDBS/VCR/VIDEO AUX to MAIN L/R SP OUT ........................................................................................................... 0±0.5 dB RIAA Equalization Deviation (20 Hz – 20 kHz) PHONO MM ....................................................................................... 0±0.5 dB Total Harmonic Distortion PHONO MM to REC OUT, 20 Hz – 20 kHz, 1V.......................... 0.02% or less CD/TAPE/DVDzLD/TVzDBS/VCR/VIDEO AUX to SP OUT (EFFECT OFF), 20 Hz – 20 kHz, 40W/8Ω................................ 0.025% or less Signal-to-Noise Ratio (IHF-A Network) CD/TAPE/DVDzLD/TVzDBS/VCR/VIDEO AUX (Input Shorted 150 mV) (EFFECT OFF) .......................................................................... 96 dB or more PHONO MM (Input Shorted 5 mV) ............................................ 86 dB or more Residual Noise (IHF-A Network) MAIN L/R SP OUT ..................................................................... 170 µV or less Channel Separation (Vol –30 dB) CD/TAPE/DVDzLD/TVzDBS/VCR/VIDEO AUX Input 5.1 kΩ Shorted (EFFECT OFF) 1 kHz/10 kHz ....................................... 60 dB/45 dB or more PHONO MM Input Shorted (EFFECT OFF) 1 kHz/10 kHz ................................................................. 60 dB/55 dB or more Tone Control Characteristics Bass Boost/Cut ............................................................................... ±10 dB (50 Hz) Turnover frequency ............................................................................ 350 Hz Treble Boost/Cut ............................................................................. ±10 dB (20 kHz) Turnover frequency ........................................................................... 3.5 kHz Audio muting ........................................................................................... – ∞ Gain Tracking Error MAIN L/R (0 to –60 dB) ............................................................. 3 dB or less Filter Characteristics (fc = 90 Hz) MAIN L/R (MAIN SPEAKERS: SMALL H.P.F.) ............................... 12 dB/oct.
