The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference. English PROFILE OF THIS UNIT 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 venues such as an actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately recreate one of several actual live performance environments, all in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic Surround The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its professional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides greater effective front and rear channel separation for a much higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround circuits found in less sophisticated home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so that there are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby Surround which has in effect only three channels: left, right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well. This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system increases sound stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between channels compared to conventional analog Dolby signal processing. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This circuit always presents you the best surround conditions without performing manual adjustments. Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP You can also enjoy a combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP in the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC ENHANCED”. It recreates the surround effect of a movie theater, effectively duplicating its multiple surround loudspeaker system, completely surrounding the listener with the sounds of the action taking place on the screen. 5  SPEAKER SETUP FOR THIS UNIT SPEAKERS TO BE USED This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker. Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the main source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be the speakers of your present stereo speaker system. The rear speakers are used for the effect sound. And the center speaker is used for the center sound (dialog etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal in power to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit. SPEAKER CONFIGURATION 5-Speaker Configuration 4-Speaker Configuration This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent. ● Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 14.) The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration. ● Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 14.) Front L Center Front R Front L Dialogue Dialogue Surround sound Surround sound Rear L Rear R Rear L Front R Rear R SPEAKER PLACEMENT The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers (your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following. Front: In normal position. (The position of your present stereo speaker system.) Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor. Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on. The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) is 120 watts. These terminals are for front channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive front speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals. REAR OUTPUT terminals Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected. These terminals are for rear channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals. LOW PASS terminal CENTER OUTPUT terminal This terminal is for output to a monaural amplifier driving a subwoofer. Only frequencies below 200 Hz from the front and center channels are output. This terminal is for center channel line output. There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal. GND terminal (For turntable use) ADDING A SUBWOOFER You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies. Connect the LOW PASS terminal to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer are in the same unit.

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. 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. 12 Notes ● When connecting the indoor FM antenna, insert its connector into the FM ANT terminal firmly. ● If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.  This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. With this adjustment, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory. 1 5 4 REC PAUSE DIR A PLAY TEST PRO LOGIC CENTER LEVEL TAPE MON LD/TV ENHANCED CNCT VIDEO 5 VCR 1 SUR.

MEMORY AUTO TUNING Press and hold for about 3 seconds. 3 DOWN Flashes. TUNING UP To tune to higher frequencies, press right side once. To tune to lower frequencies, press left side once. * If the TUNING button is not pressed, in a while, the automatic preset tuning begins automatically toward higher frequencies. The automatic preset tuning begins from the frequency currently displayed. Received stations are programmed to A1, A2 ... A8 sequentially. * If more than 8 stations are received, they are also programmed to the preset station numbers on other pages (B, C, D and E) in that order. Notes ● You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM station manually by simply following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on page 20. ● The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all RDS network frequencies until stations are stored up to E8. If the number of received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, the search is finished automatically after searching through all frequencies. ● With this function, only RDS stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural manually and program it by following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on page 20. * There may be a case that this function cannot receive a station which could be received by the automatic tuning method. This is because this function receives a large volume of PI (Program Identification) data along with the station. If you want to store the first station received by the automatic preset tuning to a desired preset station number. If, for example, you want to store the first received station to C5, select “C5” by using the A/B/C/D/E button and the preset station buttons after pressing the MEMORY button in step 2. Then press the TUNING button. The first received station is stored to C5, and next stations to C6, C7 ... sequentially. If stations are stored up to E8, the automatic preset tuning is finished automatically. 21  EXCHANGING PRESET STATIONS You can exchange the places of two preset stations with each other as shown below. 2, 4 Example) If you want to shift the preset station on E1 to A5, and vice versa. 1 2 Recall the preset station on E1 (by following the method of “To recall a preset station” on page 20). 4 EDIT EDIT MEMORY Flashes 3 Next, recall the preset station on A5 by following the same method with step 1.

Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information, such as AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc. RDS function is carried out among the network stations. * This unit utilizes PI, PS and PTY to receive RDS broadcast stations. English RECEIVING RDS STATIONS Displaying RDS data This unit can be turned into the following two modes to display RDS data. PS (Program Service station name) mode: Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency. BBC R3 PTY (Program Type name) mode: Displays the program type of the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations as follows. NEWS News: Short accounts of facts, events and publicly expressed views, reportage and actuality. AFFAIRS INFO VARIED Current affairs: Topical program expanding or enlarging upon the news, generally in different presentation style or concept, including documentary debate, or analysis Varied: Used for mainly speech-based programs usually of light-entertainment nature, not covered by above categories. Examples are: quizzes, panel games, personality interviews, comedy and satire. POP M Information: Program whose purpose is to impart advice in the widest sense, including meteorological reports and forecasts, consumer affairs, medical help, etc. Pop: Commercial music, which would generally be considered to be of current popular appeal, often featuring in current or recent record sales charts. ROCK M Rock: Contemporary modern music, usually written and performed by young musicians. MOR M M.O.R.: (Middle of the Road Music). Common term to describe music considered to be “easylistening”, as opposed to Pop, Rock or Classical. Music in this category is often but not always, vocal, and usually of short duration (<5 min.) LIGHT M Light classics: Classical Musical for general, rather than specialist appreciation. Examples of music in this category are instrumental music, and vocal or choral works. SPORT Sport: Program concerned with any aspect of sport. EDUCATE Education: Program intended primarily to educate, of which the formal element is fundamental. DRAMA Drama: All radio plays and serials.

Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. Note The channel level balance between the left rear effect speaker and the right rear effect speaker may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments. PROGRAM PRO LOGIC PRO LOGIC ENHANCED FEATURE This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, compared to the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated. This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of a 35 mm film theater, thus widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence. CONCERT VIDEO This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, the orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall. MONO MOVIE This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono movies, news broadcasts and dialog. STADIUM DISCO This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily spacious feel of a large stadium. This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound. ROCK CONCERT This program is suitable for rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically. CONCERT HALL In this program, the center seems deep behind the front speaker pair, creating an expansive, large hall ambience. Description of Dolby Pro Logic Surround DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND: This unit employs the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. This system is similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in movie theaters. By employing a four-channel system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signals into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize dialog), and the rear surround-sound channels (to characterize sound effects, background noise and other ambient noise). Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home video system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system in this unit decodes the signal and feeds the surround-sound effects. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby Surround. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR CONCERT VIDEO PRO LOGIC ENHANCED DISCO ROCK CONCERT CONCERT HALL MONO MOVIE STADIUM EFFECT Notes ● If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT switch. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect. ● When CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, STADIUM, DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL is selected, no sound is heard from the center speaker. ● When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, no sound is heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, if the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the front speakers output the sound of the center channel. ● When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is used, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE controls, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect. PRO LOGIC The selected program name is shown on the display. * The following adjustments can be done on the remote control transmitter as well as on the front panel. Adjustment of the CENTER LEVEL If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the center speaker even if the output level is already set in “SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on page 15. By continuously pressing “+” or “–” on the CENTER LEVEL control, the level value changes continuously. However, the value stops changing momentarily at the preset point (80). ● If the digital sound field program CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, STADIUM, DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL is selected, the CENTER LEVEL control cannot function. ● Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED programs. ● If a digital sound field program is not used, the CENTER LEVEL control will not function.
