SPEAKER SETUP

English

PREPARATION

The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R speaker

setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel

audio sources and THX.

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus

effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from

the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker

from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds

(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical

to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,

however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front

face of the center speaker with the front face of your video

monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front

speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as

directly over or under it.

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround

sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above

the floor.

Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround

speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back

transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the

listening position and at the same height as the surround

speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in)

apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width

as the front speakers.

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active

Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only

for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,

but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low-

frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and

DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so

critical, because low bass sounds are not highly

directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the

front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the

room to reduce wall reflections.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)

Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front

speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA

DSP (see page 43). These effects include sounds that

filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the

screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place

these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m (1 -

3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards,

and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

■ Di-pole speaker layout

Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used

for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please

place the surround and surround back speakers according

to the speaker layout below.

SPEAKER SETUP

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),

“+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are

faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the

polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound

will be unnatural and lack bass.

• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s

speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see

page 23).

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the

power of this unit is off.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or

do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This

could damage this unit and/or speakers.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of

speakers still creates the interference with the monitor,

place the speakers away from the monitor.

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables

running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped

differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.

Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red)

terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain

cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together

to prevent short circuits.

3 Unscrew the knob.

Supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful to screw or

unscrew knobs.

4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

Connecting to PRESENCE/ZONE 2 or PRESENCE

speaker terminals

1 Open the tab.

2 Insert one bare wire into

the hole of each terminal.

3 Return the tab to secure

the wire.

Banana plug connections

(With the exception of U.K., Europe and Asia models)

First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug

connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

CONNECTIONS

English

PREPARATION

Do not connect this unit or other components to the mains

power until all connections between components are

complete.

■ Signal directions and cable indications

■ Analog jacks

You can input analog signals from audio components by

connecting audio pin cable to the analog jacks on this unit.

Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the

left jacks.

■ Digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital

signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You

can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and

DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both

the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to

the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital

input jacks are compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital

signals.

This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus

audio signals input to the analog jacks are only output to the

analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input to the

digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output to the

DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

Dust protection cap

Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect

the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are

not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in

place. This cap protects the jack from dust.

■ Video jacks

This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection

depends on the availability of input jacks on your monitor.

The signals input through the VIDEO jack on this unit can

be output through the S VIDEO and COMPONENT

VIDEO jacks (see page 58). The signals input through the

S VIDEO jack can be output through the VIDEO jack

when V CONV. is set to ON (see page 58).

VIDEO jack

For conventional composite video signals.

S VIDEO jack

For S-video signals, separated into luminance (Y) and

color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color

reproduction.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

For component signals, separated into luminance (Y) and

color difference (P

B, PR) to provide the best quality in

picture reproduction.

When signals are input through both the S VIDEO and VIDEO

jacks, signals input through the S VIDEO jack have priority.

AUTO SETUP

This receiver employs YAMAHA Parametric Room

Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you

avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and

achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied

optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound

your speakers produce in your actual listening

environment.

The basic setup feature (page 28) is useful if you want to set up

your system quickly and with minimal effort. However, we

recommend that you come back and perform auto setup later to

take advantage of YPAO and enjoy even higher fidelity.

• Loud test tones are output during the auto setup procedure.

Please be ready!

• If auto setup stops and error messages appear on the OSD,

follow the troubleshooting on page 27.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes

appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible

sound from your system.

WIRING

Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of

each speaker.

DISTANCE

Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening

position and adjusts the timing of each channel.

SIZE

Checks the speaker’s frequency response and sets the

appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel.

EQUALIZING

Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric

equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and

create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly

important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers

for some channels or have a room with unique sonic

characteristics.

YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three

parameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the

seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly

precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.

LEVEL

Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each

speaker.

1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone

to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front

panel.

2 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat

level surface with the omni-directional

microphone head upward, at your normal

listening position.

• If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer

mic at the same height as your ears would be when

you are seated in your listening position.

TUNING

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system

used by FM stations in many countries. The RDS function

is carried out among the network stations.

This unit can receive various RDS data such as PS

(Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio

Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other

Networks) when receiving RDS broadcasting stations.

■ PS (Program Service name) mode:

The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.

■ PTY (Program Type) mode:

There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations.

■ RT (Radio Text) mode:

Information about the program (such as the title of the

song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being

received is displayed by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric

characters, including the umlaut symbol. If other

characters are used for RT data, they are displayed with

under-bars.

■ CT (Clock Time) mode:

The current time is displayed and updated every minute.

If the data are accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may

appear.

■ EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

See “EON function” on the following page.

The four modes are available in this unit for displaying

RDS data. The PS, PTY, RT and/or CT mode indicators

that correspond to the RDS data services offered by the

station light up on the front panel display. Press RDS

MODE/FREQ repeatedly to change the display mode

among the RDS data offered by the transmitting station in

the order shown below.

• Do not press RDS MODE/FREQ until one or more RDS mode

indicators light up on the front panel display. You cannot

change the mode if you press the button prior to this. This is

because this unit has not finished receiving all of the RDS data

from the station.

• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.

• This unit cannot utilize the RDS data source if the signal

received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode

requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the RT

mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY,

etc.) are displayed.

• RDS data may not be received under poor reception conditions.

In such cases, press TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO”

indicator disappears from the front panel display. Although this

will change the reception mode to manual, RDS data may be

displayed when you change the display to RDS mode.

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference

during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service

may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the front

panel display.

front panel display.

If the “EON” indicator is not lit up, tune in to another

RDS station so that the “EON” indicator lights up.

2 Press EON repeatedly to select the desired

program type (NEWS, INFO, AFFAIRS or

SPORT).

The selected program type name appears on the front

panel display.

• If a preset RDS station type starts broadcasting the

selected type of program, the unit automatically

switches from the program being received to that

program. (EON indicator flashes.)

• When broadcasting of the selected program ends,

the unit returns to the previous station (or another

program on the same station).

■ To cancel this function

Press EON repeatedly until no program type name is

shown on the front panel display.

RECORDING

You can use the REC OUT/ZONE 2 or REC OUT control

to record one source while watching and/or listening to

another source.

Recording adjustments and other operations are

performed from the recording components. Refer to the

operation instructions for those components.

1 Turn on the power of this unit and all

connected components.

2 Select the source component you want to

record from by using REC OUT/ZONE 2 or

REC OUT.

• To record the current input source that you are

watching or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 or

REC OUT to SOURCE/REMOTE.

• To record a source other than the one that you are

watching or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 or

REC OUT to the source you want to record.

After this setting, you can change the source you

are listening to and/or watching without effecting

the recording by rotating INPUT (or pressing one

of the input selector buttons on the remote control).

The source you record and the source sent to Zone 2 (U.S.A.,

Canada and Australia models only) are always the same.

3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)

on the source component.

4 Start recording on the recording component.

To record audio and video from different sources, set REC OUT/

ZONE 2 or REC OUT to SOURCE/REMOTE, select a video

source first then select an audio source (see page 31).

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

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

between other components connected to this unit.

• The setting of TONE CONTROL, VOLUME, “Speaker level”

(page 52) and programs does not affect the recorded material.

• A source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit

cannot be recorded.

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently

through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or

dubbing video signals, if your video source component is

connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite

video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a

composite video) signal to your VCR.

• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT

channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not

output on VCR 1 OUT.)

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from

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

infringe copyright laws.

■ Special considerations when recording

DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bit stream. Attempting to

digitally record the DTS bit stream will result in noise

being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to

record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,

the following considerations and adjustments need to be

made.

For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your

player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its

operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog

signal will be output from the player.

SOUND FIELD

PROGRAMS

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multichannel playback from

almost any sound source (stereo or multichannel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field

processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.

Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous

concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.

The Yamaha CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set INPUT MODE to

AUTO (see page 34) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI”

can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “

2-CH” can be used with 2-channel

(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

■ Speaker distance SP DISTANCE

Use this feature to manually input the distance of each

speaker and adjust the delay applied to respective channel.

Ideally, each speaker should be the same distance from the

main listening position. However, this is not possible in

most home situations. Thus, a certain amount of delay

must be applied to the sound from each speaker so that all

sound will arrive at the listening position at the same time.

To access these parameters, select:

OPERATION

5 Press LEARN again to exit from the setup

mode.

• The supplied remote control does not contain all possible

manufacturer codes for commercially available AV components

(including YAMAHA AV components). If operation is not

possible with any of the manufacturer codes, program the new

remote control function with the Learn feature (see below) or

use the remote control supplied with the component.

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

button, the function by learning programming takes priority

over the setup manufacturer code’s function.

• “ERROR” appears in the display window when press any

buttons other than indicated in each step, or when you press

more than one button at once.

If you want to program functions not included in the basic

operations covered by the manufacturer code, or an

appropriate manufacturer code is not available, do the

following. You can program any of the buttons available in

the component control area (see page 61). The buttons can

be programmed independently for each component.

This remote control transmits infrared rays. If the other remote

control also uses infrared rays, this remote control can learn most

of its functions. However, you may not be able to program some

special signals or extremely long transmissions. (Refer to the

operation instructions for the other remote control.)

1 Set 10KEY/DSP to 10KEY.

It is also possible to program in this unit’s control area with

10KEY/DSP set to DSP. However, if you do this, you will

not be able to control this unit and select sound field

programs.

2 Press an input selector button to select a

source component.

3 Place this remote control about 5 to 10 cm

apart from the other remote control on a flat

surface so that their infrared transmitters are

aimed at each other.

4 Press LEARN using a ballpoint pen or similar

object.

Do not press and hold LEARN. If you hold it down

for more than three seconds, the remote enters the

manufacturer code setting mode.

Complete each of the following steps in 30 seconds.

Otherwise, the learning mode will be automatically

canceled. In this case, press LEARN again.

5 Press the button at which you want to

program the new function.

“LEARN” is displayed.

program on the other remote control until

“OK” appears in the display window.

• “NG” appears in the display window if programming was

unsuccessful. In this case, start over from step 5.

• This remote control can learn approximately 120 functions.

However depending on the signals learned, “FULL” may

appear in the display before you program 120 functions. In this

case, clear unnecessary programmed functions to make room

for further learning.

7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to program additional

functions.

8 Press LEARN again to exit from the learning

mode.

• Learning may not be possible in the following cases:

– When the batteries in the remote control for this unit or other

components are weak.

great or too small.

– When the remote control infrared windows are not facing at

the appropriate angle.

– When the remote control is exposed to direct sunlight.

– When the function to be programmed is continuous or

uncommon.

• “ERROR” appears in the display window if you press more than

one button at the same time.

You can change the name that appears in the display

window on the remote control if you want to use the

different name than the factory preset. This is useful when

you have set the input selector to control a different

component.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

ADVANCED

OPERATION

The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations by pressing just one button. For example, when you

want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button to start

playback. The Macro feature lets you perform all those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The buttons

listed as macro buttons below are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see

page 66).

You can turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit by connecting them to the AC

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

please refer to the operation instruction for the connected component.)

Playback can be started with any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorder, CD player, CD recorder, DVD player, or LD

player. When using macros to operate other components, you will need to program the PLAY button on the control area of that

component (see pages 63 and 64) or to set up a manufacturer code (see page 62).

When TUNER is selected as the input source, this unit receives the last station received before the unit was set to the standby mode.

OPERATION

Once you set the appropriate manufacturer codes, you can use this remote to control your other components. Note that

some buttons may not correctly operate the selected component. Use the input selector buttons to select the component

you want to operate. The remote control automatically switches to the appropriate control mode for that component.

• To control a component without changing the receiver’s input mode, use SOURCE SELECT k/n to select the component.

• TV POWER, TV VOL +/–, TV INPUT, and TV MUTE will operate your TV without switching the input if the manufacturer code for

your TV is set up in the DTV areas. If a component other than TV is set up in the DTV area, you can control your TV by setting up

your TV in the PHONO area. If your TV is set up in both the DTV and PHONO areas, priority is given to the signal in the DTV area.

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS

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.

■ 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:

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.

Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations

These are caused by reflections from more than one

surface — walls, ceiling, the back of the room — so

numerous that they merge together to form a continuous

sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen

the clarity of the direct sound.

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 digital sound field processor

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 digital sound field

processor.

You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory-set

parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial

settings, you can change some of the parameters to better

suit the input source or your listening room.

1 Set PARAMETER/SET MENU

2 Turn on the video monitor

and press ON SCREEN

repeatedly to select the full

Notes

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data

from being lost even if this unit is set in the standby

mode, the power cord is disconnected from the AC

outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to

power failure. However, if the power is cut for more

than one week, the parameter values will return to the

factory settings. If this happens, edit the parameter

value again.

SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your

listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.

■ DSP LEVEL

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

Description: Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect

level relative to the level of the direct sound.

Control range: –6 dB – +3 dB

■ INIT. DLY/P. INT. DLY (Initial delay)

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

direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.

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

it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a large value.

Control range: 1

– 99 msec

■ ROOM SIZE/P. ROOM SIZE (Room size)

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

surround sound field becomes.

Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between

the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the

reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from

one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

Control range: 0.1 – 2.0

SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

■ LIVENESS

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

early reflections decay.

Description: The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall

surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces

is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The

LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the

room.

Control range: 0 – 10

■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround initial delay)

Function: This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of

the sound field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two surround

channels are used.

Control Range: 1 – 49 msec

■ S. ROOM SIZE (Surround room size)

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

Control Range: 0.1 – 2.0

■ S. LIVENESS (Surround liveness)

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

Control Range: 0 – 10

■ SB INIT. DLY (Surround back initial delay)

Function: This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround back

sound field.

Control Range: 1 – 49 msec

■ SB ROOM SIZE (Surround back room size)

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

Control Range: 0.1 – 2.0

■ SB LIVENESS (Surround back liveness)

Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the surround back sound field.

SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

■ REV.TIME (Reverberation time)

Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to

decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an

extremely wide range.

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

for “live” sources and listening room environments.

Control Range: 1.0 – 5.0 sec

■ REV.DELAY (Reverberation delay)

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

of the reverberation sound.

Description: The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you

feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.

Control Range: 0 – 250 msec

■ REV. LEVEL (Reverberation level)

Function: This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.

Description: The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system

to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front

left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog

(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound

effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces

sound within a narrow frequency range.

Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes

and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as

well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit

employs a digital signal processing system that

automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to

enhance moving sound effects and directionality.

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives

you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3

front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround

stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio

channels. With an additional channel especially for bass

effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has

a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By

using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more

accurate moving sound effects and surround sound

environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The

wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum

volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the

precise sound orientation generated using digital sound

processing provide listeners with previously unheard of

excitement and realism.

With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up

to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for

your enjoyment.

Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output

channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a

matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the

2 in the original recording. For the best results, Dolby

Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks

recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this

additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and

realistic moving sound especially with scenes with

"flyover" and "fly-around" effects.

■ Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to

decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software.

This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel

playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center

channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of

only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic

technology). The Music and Game modes are also

available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie

mode.

■ Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete

7.1-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel

sources. There is a Music mode for music, a Movie mode

for movies and a Game mode for games.

■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog

soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound

track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie

theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.

has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy

the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of

DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces

practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, a

left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus

an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1

channels).

The unit incorporates DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1-

channel reproduction by adding the surround back channel

to existing 5.1-channel format.

■ Neo:6

Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6

channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables

playback with the full-range channels with higher

separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two

modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music

sources and “Cinema mode” for movies.

■ LFE 0.1 channel

This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.

The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.

This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a

low frequency range compared to the full-range

reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in a Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1/6.1 channel systems.

■ CINEMA DSP

Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were

originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect

is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed

for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room

size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can

differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in

the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth of actually

measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses

YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine

Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to

provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater

in the listening room of your own home.

GLOSSARY

01EN00_RX-V2400RDS_EN.book Page 85 Thursday, November 6, 2003 11:49 AM

GLOSSARY

■ SILENT CINEMA

YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect

DSP algorithm for headphones.

Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound

field so that accurate representations of all the sound field

programs can be enjoyed on headphones.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP

YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP

algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field

surround effects even without any surround speakers by

using virtual surround speakers.

It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a

minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center

speaker.

■ Composite Video signal

With the composite video signal system, the video signal

is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;

color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite

video jack on a video component transmits these three

elements combined.

■ S VIDEO signal

With the S VIDEO signal system, the video signal

normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and

transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C

signal for the chrominance through the S VIDEO cable.

Using the S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal

transmission loss and allows recording and playback of

even more beautiful images.

■ Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal

is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB

and P

R signals for the chrominance. Color can be

reproduced more faithfully with this system because each

of these signals is independent. The component signal is

also called the “color difference signal” because the

luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.

A monitor with component input jacks is required in order

to use the component signal for output.

■ PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog

audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without

using any compression. This is used as a method of

recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a

technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per

very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code

modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and

then modulated for recording.

■ Sampling frequency and number of

quantized bits

When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of

times the signal is sampled per second is called the

sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when

converting the sound level into a numeric value is called

the number of quantized bits.

The range of rates that can be played back is determined

based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range

representing the sound level difference is determined by

the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the

sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies

that can be played back, and the higher the number of

quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be

reproduced.

■ THX Cinema processing

THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies

established by the world-renowned film production

company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’

personal desire to make your experience of the film

soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home

theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director

intended.

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres

called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back

in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions.

This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto

Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for

playback in a small home theatre environment.

THX engineers developed patented technologies to

accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre

environment into the home, correcting the tonal and

spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX

indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in

Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).

■ Re-Equalization

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively

bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment

in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be

played back in large movie theatres using very different

professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the

correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a

small home environment.

GLOSSARY

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

■ Timbre Matching

The human ear changes our perception of a sound

depending on the direction from which the sound is

coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of surround

speakers so that the surround information is all around

you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located

to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature

filters the information going to the surround speakers so

that they more closely match the tonal characteristics of

the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures

seamless panning between the front and surround

speakers.

■ Adaptive Decorrelation

In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers

help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but

in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This

can make the surround speakers sound like headphones

that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround

sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you

move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive

Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's

time and phase relationship with respect to the other

surround channel. This expands the listening position and

creates–with only two speakers–the same spacious

surround experience as in a movie theatre.

■ THX Select

Before any home theatre component can be THX Select

certified, it must incorporate all the features above and

also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance

tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Select

logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre

products you purchase will give you superb performance

for many years to come. THX Select requirements cover

every aspect of the product including pre-amplifier

performance and operation, and hundreds of other

parameters in both the digital and analog domain.

■ THX Surround EX

THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint

development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been

encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are

able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added

during the mixing of the program. This channel, called

Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in

addition to the currently available front left, front center,

front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer

channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity

for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings

more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization

than ever before.

Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital

Surround EX technology, when released into the home

consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the

packaging. A list of movies created using this technology

can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com. A

list of available DVD software titles encoded with this

technology can be found at www.thx.com.

Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX

Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode,

faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.

This product may also engage the THX Surround EX

mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is

not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the

information delivered to the Surround Back channel will

be program dependent and may or may not be very

pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the

tastes of the individual listener.

■ ITU-R

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU

(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R

recommends a standard speaker placement which is used

in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering

purposes.
