Front speaker (R) E-3 OUTLINE OF THIS UNIT Dolby Digital and DTS This unit features a built-in Dolby Digital decoder and a DTS decoder for reproducing surround sounds of sources encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. With such state-of-the-art technologies, this unit can bring the same audio experience to your home as they have brought to feature films in quality theaters around the world. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this system brings to your home theater.  Dolby Surround Dolby Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a surround channel for special sound effects. The surround channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.  Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total. The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before. E-4  DTS (Digital Theater System) Digital Surround DTS was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and it is now installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio. DTS technology, through intense research and development, has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it offers 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as “0.1”). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems. OUTLINE OF THIS UNIT Virtual 3D FL C FR Virtual 3D, which is used by this unit’s sound field programs, simulates the surround effect provided by surround and center speakers, creating “virtual” surround speakers, as shown, so even with only two front speakers, you can still enjoy surround sound. FL C OUTLINE OF THIS UNIT Surround sound typically requires several speakers situated in front of and behind the listening position, which requires a substantial amount of space that may not always be available. In addition to ordinary surround sound reproduction using several speakers, this unit enables you to enjoy surround sound effects with only two speakers by using Yamaha’s unique “Virtual 3D” (three-dimensional) technology. FR Virtual speakers RL RR RL Typical surround system RR Virtual 3D Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP) When you listen to a performance in a concert hall, jazz club, or other live music venue, you not only hear the direct sound coming from the musical instruments and singers, but also the “early reflections” and natural reverberation. Early reflections are the initial sound waves that bounce off the floor, ceiling, and walls. Natural reverberation is made up of sound waves that gradually attenuate as they bounce repeatedly off multiple surfaces. Since the way you hear early reflections and reverberation depends on the shape and size of the building as well as the material and construction of the walls and ceiling, each venue has its own unique “sound,” called its “sound field.” At Yamaha, we have measured all the elements that make up a typical sound field—direction and level of the reflections, band-width characteristics, and delay times—at famous concert halls and opera houses around the world. The information gained in this process has been converted into programs that can be reproduced using Yamaha’s DSP technology. Using its on-board DSP, this unit can process any audio source and recreate the atmosphere of the original venue.

Weak antenna signal. Install an antenna suitable for the electric field strength of your area. Not tuned correctly. Retune. There is distortion or clear reception cannot be obtained even when using a good quality FM antenna. There is multipath interference. Change the position of the antenna. Preset stations cannot be selected. The preset memory has been erased. Store the stations again. Stereo broadcasts are noisy and the ST indicator flashes. Tune in to the station manually. Depending on some computer hardware or operating systems, all functions of this unit cannot be used.You can refer to the following Yamaha website for details and related information. http://www.yamaha.co.jp/audio/ Memory back-up The memory back-up circuit prevents the setting of the input selector, the sound field program, the preset memory of the tuner from being lost even if the AC power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to a temporary power failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than one week, the memory may be erased. In that case, you must make the necessary settings, and store the FM stations in memory again.
