The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a totally new listening environment. 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. Digital Sound Field Processing What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing: the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert. Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of actual music venues to allow you to accurately recreate live performance environments in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic Surround The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you experience the dramatic realism and impact of a 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 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. Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP 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. RX-V490 only 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 SPEAKERS TO BE USED This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with this unit are front speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.) within the Dolby Surround encoded programs. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the front speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit. SPEAKER 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 a Dolby Surround program 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 12.) The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If a Dolby Surround program 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 12.) ● RX-V390 only The program DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. Front L Center Front R Front L Dialogue Dialogue Surround sound * Surround sound Rear L Rear R Rear L Front R Rear R RX-V390 only As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers. However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there are more than one listener in the listening room. When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position. 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.)

Keep in mind that some of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for them was recorded at actual places 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 some of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments. RX-V390 only RX-V490 only PROGRAM FEATURE PRO LOGIC This program is effective for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. Compared to the conventional 3-channel surround-sound system, the true center channel is added, thus even further expanding the width of the surround-sound effect. PRO LOGIC ENHANCED 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. 3 STEREO This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear speakers. 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.

The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect. ● ● EFFECT 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 RX-V490 3 Select the desired program that is suitable for the source. ● When CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, 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. PROGRAM TEST RX-V390 The selected program name is shown on the display. 4 If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on 24 and 25.) ● When ROCK or HALL is selected, no sound is heard from the center speaker. ● When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO, no sound is heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only from the center speaker. For DOLBY PRO LOGIC only, however, if the center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the front speakers output the sound of the center channel. 23  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 13. CENTER LEVEL 0 ● If no program is used, this adjustment is useless. RX-V490 ● If the digital sound field program CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL is selected, this adjustment is useless. ● Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED programs.
