Preparation

Preparing the Remote Control

Put the batteries in the Remote Control.

Preparing the Speakers

The Front Speakers, Surround Speakers, Center Speaker and Subwoofer have special roles based on the type of sound each produces.

• The Front Speakers produce front channel sound (stereo) and sound effects.

• The Surround Speakers produce surround sound and sound effects.

• The Center Speaker produces sound oriented toward the center of the screen such as dialog or vocals.

• The Subwoofer produces bass sounds and the LFE signal contained in Dolby Digital and DTS.

• You can secure the Center Speaker, Surround Speakers or

Subwoofer in place using fasteners or non-skid pads. You can

hang the Front and Surround Speakers from the wall or attach

them to optional speaker stands.

See page 53, “Placing the Speakers (NX-P120)”.

Placing the Speakers

Place the speakers as shown in the diagram below.

• If the television (monitor) image is distorted, place the

speakers away from the television.

Front Speakers (L, R)

Place the Front Left and Right 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

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of

your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as

possible (such as directly over or under the monitor) and

centrally between the front speakers.

Surround Speakers (L, R)

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing

slightly inwards, approximately 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.

Subwoofer

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.

Press the h mark and slide off the back

cover.

Insert the two supplied batteries (AA, R06,

UM-3) into the battery compartment.

Close the back cover.

Remote Control Features

As shown on the left, CinemaStation is composed of three

main parts. Remote Control button operations change

depending on the mode, so it is possible to control all

Amplifier, DVD/CD and Tuner functions with a single

remote unit.

For example, in Amp mode the “3” button is used to select

Matrix 6.1, but in DVD/CD mode, it functions as a

numerical button that specifies time, track and other

numbers.

The Remote Control can also operate a television or VCR

connected to CinemaStation. However, it is first necessary

to enter the manufacturer code for the equipment in the

Remote Control’s memory. See page 83, “Storing

Manufacturer Codes in the Remote Control”.

To switch modes, follow the steps below.

• Amp mode: Press AMP.

• DVD/CD mode: Press DVD/CD. See page 23, “DVD/CD

Mode Button Names and Functions”.

• Tuner mode: Press TUNER.

For details on Tuner operations, see page 39, “Listening

to the Radio”.

Some reminders when using the Remote Control

• Do not spill water or tea, or drop anything on the unit.

• Do not leave the unit in the following places.

Near a stove, bath or hot and humid place.

In a dusty place.

In an extremely cold place.

When the batteries run down, replace them

When the batteries grow old, the effective operation distance

decreases considerably. When that happens, replace the batteries

with two new ones. Once you take the old batteries out, replace

them within two minutes to preserve the memory in the Remote

Control.

Use the Remote Control

within 6 m (20 feet) of the

CinemaStation and point it

toward the Remote Control

Sensor.

Using the Remote Control

• Replace worn out batteries as soon as possible.

• Do not use a new battery with one that has been used before.

• Do not use different types of batteries (for example, alkaline with manganese) together. Each type of battery has its own

characteristics.

• If a battery starts leaking, dispose of it immediately. Be careful not to let leaking battery acid come into contact with you or your

clothing. Before inserting new batteries wipe the compartment clean.

• Install the supplied indoor FM Antenna and AM Loop Antenna away from this system.

• Even if you connect an outdoor AM antenna, be sure to still use the AM Loop Antenna.

Attach the Antenna to its stand.

Open the AM ANT and GND jack levers to

the right. Insert the AM Loop Antenna’s

cord cores into the AM ANT and GND

jacks.

Close the lever to fasten the cord.

Pull the cord lightly to make sure it is properly

Connecting the FM Antenna

Connect the supplied indoor FM Antenna to the FM

When connecting an outdoor FM

antenna

Use the antenna’s coaxial cable and a commercially

available F-type connector to connect the antenna to the FM

ANT jack. For details, ask the shop where you bought the

outdoor antenna.

Earth (GND jack)

The GND jack does not provide secure grounding. However when there

is a lot of noise, connecting it may improve reception. To ground

CinemaStation, connect one end of a vinyl coated wire to the GND jack

and the other end to a commercially available grounding rod or copper

sheet, and bury the rod or sheet in damp earth.

• When an RDS station is broadcasting, do not press FREQ/RDS until

one or more mode indicators light up in the CinemaStation Display. If

you press FREQ/RDS before the mode indicators light up,

CinemaStation may not be able to change modes.

• RDS information not provided by a station cannot be selected.

Creating the Best Listening Space

Placing the Speakers (NX-P120)

Make sure the top of the television is level. If the top of the

television is not level, place the Center Speaker inside the

TV rack or directly on the floor. In any case, make sure it is

placed on a level surface.

When placing on top of the television, use the supplied

fastener (two pieces) as shown in the picture on the left,

between the bottom of the Center Speaker and top of the

television to fasten.

• Do not place on a television with top narrower than the bottom of the

speaker. You may get injured if the speaker falls over.

• Do not place if the top of the television is slanting. You may get

injured if the speaker falls over.

• After peeling off the fastener seal, do not touch the bonding surface. If

you do, the bonding surface weakens, which later may cause the

speaker to fall over.

• Before attaching the fastener to the television, wipe the TV top clean.

If the surface is dirty or wet tape will lose bonding strength, which

later may cause the speaker to fall over.

Placing the Center Speaker

Placing the Subwoofer

Place the Subwoofer on a level hard floor.

When placing, use non-skid pads on the bottom of the

Subwoofer in the four corners as shown in the picture. This

will prevent the Subwoofer from sliding when it vibrates.

Also, increasing stability prevents degradation of sound.

To get the most out of the sound field effects you need to place the speakers

in the best positions. To guard against poor acoustics like sound blur make

sure the speakers are stable. Also read page 7, Preparing the Speakers.

Creating the Best Listening Space

• One speaker weighs about 1.1 kg (2.43 lb). Make sure you fasten screws only into a solid wall or pillar. Do not attach to a wall

that is made of plaster, decorative veneer sheeting or other material that peels easily. If the screws come off and a speaker falls,

somebody may get injured.

• Do not attach the speakers using nails or two-sided tape. Vibration during use may cause the nails to loosen, tape to peel off and

speakers to fall, resulting in injury.

• CinemaStation may fall over if your feet or hands get caught in the speaker cable. Make sure the cables are fixed in place.

• After attaching everything, check the overall safety of your installation.

YAMAHA will bear no responsibility for accidents caused by improperly placed equipment or faulty installation methods.

Placing the Front and Surround Speakers

Attach to the wall using the two holes on the back of the Front and

Surround Speakers.

Attach 2 screws (3.5 to 4 mm (

⬙ to

⬙) dia.,

commercially available) to each place you want

to hang a Front or Surround Speaker.

Hang the speakers on the screws using the

holes in the back of each speaker.

• Make sure that the tapping screw enters the narrow part of the hole

and the speaker is fixed securely in place.

As shown in the picture, attach the non-skid pads on the bottoms

of the Front and Surround Speakers in the four corners. This

stabilizes the speakers to prevent sliding.

* Place on a stable, flat surface.

You can place the Front Speakers and Surround Speakers

on the floor or a rack, or attach them to a wall. You can also

mount them on commercially available speaker stands.

Using Commercially Available Speakers or Cables

• Use speakers of the same manufacturer and quality, if possible. If the

quality of each speaker differs, the voice of a moving person may

become unnatural.

Advice

You can use commercially available speakers instead of

the supplied Center Speaker, Front Speakers, Surround

Speakers, or Subwoofer. You can also use commercially

available speaker cables instead of the supplied cables.

• Use a speaker with 6-ohm impedance or more. If a speaker

with less than 6-ohm impedance is used, the protective circuit

may trip or the speaker may malfunction.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers still

create interference with the monitor, place the speakers away

from the monitor.

• Make sure the speaker cable you use is the same thickness as

the supplied cable.

* SPS-80 stands may not be available in certain regions.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume Level

The default settings of the Speakers are suitable for most conditions.

However, depending on room conditions or listening position, you may

need to adjust the Speaker volume level, especially when changing

speaker or furniture position.

This adjustment is important because it brings out the maximum effect of

the DSP Program, and faithfully reproduces the acoustic personalities of

Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS.

Even after performing the test tone, you may still like to adjust the

speaker volume level for some sources. In this case see page 60,

“Adjusting the Speaker Volume Level During Playback”.

• You cannot adjust the volume level while connected to headphones. To adjust, disconnect

your headphones.

Adjust the volume so that it is the same for each speaker

from your listening position.

• To adjust the sound, use the Remote Control from your listening

position.

Press AMP.

Press TEST.

Creating the Best Listening Space

• If you raise the volume level of the Center and Surround L/R Speakers to + 10 dB and this is still less than the Front Speakers,

set the “* F. Level” in the SET MENU to -10 dB and lower the volume level of the Front Speakers by about 1/3. If you change

the volume level of the Front Speakers, adjust the volume level of the Center and Surround L/R Speakers once again.

Adjust the overall sound using the VOLUME +/-

so that you can hear the test tone.

The picture on the left shows the test tone order: LEFT

(Front L Speaker) → CENTER (Center Speaker) →

RIGHT (Front R Speaker) → R SUR. (Surround R

Speaker) → L SUR. (Surround L Speaker) →

SUBWOOFER (Subwoofer). Each speaker outputs sound

for about 2 seconds. The speaker currently outputting a

test tone appears in the CinemaStation Display.

While a test tone is outputting from the speaker

you want to adjust, press q or w and tune it to

the same volume level as the Front Speakers.

Only the speaker currently being adjusted produces a test

tone.

• While in test tone mode you cannot adjust the volume level of the

Front Speakers which serve as the standard. If you need to adjust the

volume level of the Front Speakers, press VOLUME +/-.

When adjustment is finished, press TEST.

The test tone stops.

Note

• If “* CENTER” in the SET MENU is set to “NON”, the Center Speaker signal is distributed to the Front L/R Speakers at the

same volume level and output. In this case, you cannot adjust the audio output level of the Center Speaker.

• If “* SUR”. in the SET MENU is set to “NON”, you cannot adjust the volume level of the Surround L/R Speakers. The test tone

skips the Surround L/R Speakers and continues its cycle.

• If “* BASS” in the SET MENU is set to “FRONT”, the test tone skips the Subwoofer and continues its cycle.

• The test tone for Subwoofer is different from the others, but this is not a defect.

• The volume level adjustment range is +10 dB to -10 dB.

• You cannot adjust the Left and Right Surround Speakers individually. The same adjustment level will be applied to both.

If the level adjusted during the sound test was different for Left and Right and one speaker was then tuned to a maximum of +10

dB or a minimum of -10 dB, the value cannot be adjusted any further up or down.

• We recommend that you first adjust the speaker balance with a test tone. See page 58, “Adjusting the Speaker Balance

• You can also adjust the Delay Time of Matrix 6.1 DSP Program.

• Depending on the source it is possible to over or under adjust the Delay Time and create an unnatural sound effect.

• While adjusting the Delay Time, you hear no sound temporarily.

Each DSP Program is designed to draw out the maximum

effect from the source audio. CinemaStation provides the

DSP Programs with optimum value of parameters including

reflected sound, reverberant sound and Delay Time.

Among these parameters, you can change the Delay Time

to match to your Speaker positions.

Delay Time is the time gap in playback between front

speaker audio and surround speaker audio. The bigger the

value becomes the later the surround audio plays back,

and the bigger the sound space feels.

Delay Time is preset at an optimum value for each DSP

Program. In most cases, the default value will work well for

your listening enjoyment. But depending on the audio

source or listening environment, you can adjust each DSP

Program the way you like.

• It is possible to switch Input mode even if you press INPUT on CinemaStation for more than one second.

• When Input mode is set to AUTO and a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the most suitable decoder is automatically

selected.

• The following happens when set to Input mode and DTS is played:

— CinemaStation detects the DTS signal and automatically switch to DTS mode (t indicator lights up). Once DTS audio

finishes playback, the t indicator may blink, and while it blinks only DTS audio can be played back. Immediately after

DTS audio finishes playback, if you want to play normal PCM audio, reset the Input mode to AUTO.

— If the DTS signal is interrupted when you perform Search or Skip, the t indicator may blink. If this condition continues

for over 30 seconds, the Input mode automatically changes from DTS to normal digital (PCM) and the t goes out.

• Using “* Input Mode” in the SET MENU you can set whether to use the Input mode specified previously when CinemaStation

was turned on or return to AUTO.

• It is not possible to select ANLG with the DVD/CD Input Selection button.

• You cannot switch input modes when the input jack you select with the Input Selection button can only input an analog input

signal.

• To play back DTS, set the Input mode to AUTO or DTS. Do not set it to ANLG. If you do, audio may not output or you may

hear noise.

You can playback most sources without a problem with

the AUTO setting (factory default setting). Then depending

on your needs, you can select the priority level for digital

and analog input signals, and specify formats such as

DTS.

Press the Input Selection button for current input

source until the desired input mode appears in the

CinemaStation Display.

AUTO: Input signal can be selected in the order below.

1) Digital signal

2) Analog signal

DTS: Only DTS can be played.

ANLG: Only analog signal can be played.

Learning about input modes, jacks and Input Selection

buttons

CinemaStation can receive signals from the VIDEO (analog),

VCR (analog) and OPTICAL (digital) jacks of equipment that

is connected to it. You can assign a VIDEO or VCR input name

to the OPTICAL IN jack. This will allow you to use the VIDEO

button or VCR button to input a device connected to the

OPTICAL IN jack (VIDEO is assigned in the default setting.)

Normally, an analog signal is input to the VIDEO or VCR IN

jack, and a digital signal is input to the OPTICAL IN jack.

However, by setting the input mode to AUTO the input will be

automatically detected and you can then playback audio from

the device you want by simply pressing an Input Selection

• If you play video with a 4:3 aspect ratio on a 16:9 wide television screen, Progressive Scan may fill the screen top to bottom.

In this case, use the On Screen Menu to change to the screen display that matches your television. See pages 94 and 95, “On

Screen Menu Guide”.

If you cannot adjust the size, turn off Progressive Scan. (Changes to interlace output.)

• When Progressive Scan is on, a video signal will only output from the COMPONENT VIDEO. You can use the

COMPONENT VIDEO jack and Progressive Scan only for DVD playback, so it is not possible to enjoy progressive playback

from other sources.

Protecting Your Children from Undesirable Scene

Using Parental Control

You can cut a scene that you do not feel it is suitable for your children, or lock a

disc from being played.

CinemaStation allows you to set the level of Parental Control. It then checks the

level of a disc whose level has been set in advance and automatically decides if

the content is suitable for viewing by your children before playing.

Try again from step 1 and keep the following points in

mind.

• Make sure you select the Remote Control’s TV or VCR

button correctly when setting the manufacturer code.

• If there are multiple manufacturer codes enter them in

maximum limit.

STD: Dynamic range recommended by software

manufacturers for home use.

suitable for evening listening.

Set the Delay Time of the Center Speaker (*

SP Delay)

You can set the Delay Time of the Center Speaker. This

is effective when the Center Speaker outputs sound

during Dolby Digital or DTS playback.

Normally the Center Speaker and Front L/R Speakers

are placed in line with each other. However, they should

be placed at an equal distance from the listener so that

the sound each one outputs enters the listener’s ear at the

same time. With Delay Time, the Center Speaker can be

moved to an ideal position further away to match the

distance of each speaker to the listener. Center Delay is

effective in adding depth to the sound field and presence

Glossary

Bit Stream

A signal that is compressed and changed into digital

format. Then depending on the decoder it can be

processed as 5.1 multi-channel audio.

Channel (ch)

A channel is an audio type that has been divided based

on range and other characteristics.

Ex. 5.1 channel

• Front Speakers, Left (1ch), Right (1ch)

• Center Speaker (1 ch)

• Surround Speakers, Left (1ch), Right (1ch)

• Subwoofer (1 ch x 0.1* = 0.1 ch)

* In contrast to a full 1-channel band, a component designed

to enhance low frequency sound for added effect.

Cinema DSP (Digital Sound Field

Processor)

Dolby Surround and DTS were originally designed for

the movie theater, so playing the same program at home

would produce disparate listening experiences

depending on variables like the room size, walling and

number of speakers.

Yamaha Cinema DSP applies original sound field

technology based on a wealth of real-world data

measurements to reproduce Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby

Digital and DTS sound, combining them with acoustic

scale, depth and tone so that you can experience the

presence of a movie theater at home.

Component Video Signal

A component video signal is separated into one

luminance Y-signal and two chrominance P

B/CB and PR/

R signals. Since each signal is sent independently, color

can be reproduced more faithfully. The component

signal is also called a color-difference signal by the way

it subtracts the luminance signal from the color signals.

Decoder

A device that converts encoded data on DVD and other

media back to its original audio or video signal.

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.

By using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers,

more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound

environment can be reproduced, like the rustling of trees

or sound of waves.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system that takes a 4-channel signal and

records it as a 2-channel signal, then by way of some

arithmetic processing converts back to an independent 4-

channel signal for playback.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Takes any 2-channel source and reproduces dynamic

5.1-channel surround with excellent separation using

special signal processing. You can experience Dolby Pro

Logic II in MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode for stereo.

You can even enjoy old movies that were only recorded

in 2-channel audio (excluding monaural) in powerful

5.1-channel surround.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

The 5.1-channel surround system adopted by most

movie theaters. With an abundance of audio data, it is

able to provide authentic sounding effects.

Dynamic Range

The difference between the smallest sound that can be

heard above the equipment noise and the biggest sound

that can be heard without distortion is the dynamic

range.

Film and Video Data

In general, DVD media can be classified into the 2 types

below.

• Film Data

Video recorded at 24 frames/second. (The film used

for shooting movies is recorded at 24 frames/second.)

Recently 30 frames/second progressive video has

made its debut.

• Video Data

Video recorded at 30 frames/second.

CinemaStation will automatically recognize whether the

source recorded on DVD is film or video, then select the

best method to convert it into progressive output.

Interlace and Progressive Outputs

Up to now the standard video signal has been NTSC

with 525i (i: interlaced) scan lines. In contrast, 525p (p:

progressive) is a high-density signal with double the

number of scan lines.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect) 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.

It is added to the full-range 5 channels in Dolby Digital

and DTS to enhance low frequency sound for added

effect. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only

enforces a low frequency range.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

A signal that is changed to digital format without

compression. A CD is recorded with 16-bit sound at

44.1kHz, while DVD recording is anywhere between 16

bits at 48 kHz to 24 bits at 192 kHz, which makes it a

higher quality sound than CD. This signal also has a type

called Packed PCM (P.PCM) that can be compressed

without any loss of data.

Matrix 6.1

CinemaStation incorporates a Matrix 6.1 decoder for

Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel software that

enables 6.1-channel reproduction by adding the surround

back channel to existing 5.1-channel format. (The

surround back channel is created from surround left and

right channels, and output from a virtual surround back

speaker.) With this additional channel, you can

experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound

especially scenes with "fly-over" and "fly-around"

effects.

NTSC

NTSC is a video signal system (525 lines, 30 frames per

second) used in North America, Central America, a

number of South American countries, and some Asian

countries, including Japan.

Pan & Scan and Letter Box

In general, DVD Video is produced for viewing on a

wide television screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This

means you can now view most material with the

intended aspect ratio on a wide-screen television.

This ratio will not fit on a standard television that has an

aspect ratio of 4:3. Two picture styles, Pan & Scan and

Letterbox, deal with this problem.

• Pan & Scan cuts off the left and right portions of the

picture to fill the screen.

• Letterbox inserts black bands at the top and bottom of

the picture to reproduce an aspect ratio of 16:9.

PAL

PAL is a video signal system (625 lines, 25 frames per

second) used in the United Kingdom, much of the rest of

western Europe, several South American countries, some

Middle East and Asian countries, several African

countries, Australia, New Zealand, and other Pacific

island countries.

Sampling Frequency and Quantized

Bit Rate

When converting an analog signal to digital, 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 quantized bit rate.

The frequency band that can be played back is

determined by the sampling rate while the dynamic

range expressing the difference in sound level is

determined by the quantized bit rate. In principle, the

higher the sampling rate, the wider the frequency range

that can be played back. And the higher the quantized bit

rate the finer the sound that can be reproduced.

SILENT CINEMA

SILENT CINEMA is an original Yamaha system that

reproduces in a pair of headphones the acoustic

personality of sound field programs based on multi-

speakers. Headphone parameters have been set for each

sound field so that natural stereoscopic sound can be

expressed and enjoyed through headphones.

S-Video Signal

With S-video the video signal that was normally

transmitted using a pin cable is separated and

transmitted as a luminance Y-signal and chrominance C-

signal through an S video cable. Connecting with an S

VIDEO jack you can enjoy recording and playback with

more beautiful images.

Title, Chapter (DVD Video)

DVD video lets you divide a disc in a big way by titles

or a small way by chapters. Each division is either called

a title number or a chapter number.

Track (CD/Video CD)

A CD or Video CD can be divided into a number of

segments (tracks). Each division is called a title number.

Virtual Cinema DSP (Digital Sound

Field Processor)

Reproduces a surround speaker sound field to let you

enjoy virtual Center and Surround L/R Speakers with

only two Front L/R Speakers.

If you use speakers other than NX-P120, make sure to set the speaker size and volume level in advance. →Page 62, “Setting the Speaker Size” →Page 58, “Adjusting the Speaker Volume Level” About this Manual ● Advice explains additional operating tips that you may find useful. ● Please... indicates an operation that you should definitely perform. ● In this manual, operations that can be performed on either the DVD Receiver or Remote Control are explained using the Remote Control. ● In this manual, Remote Control descriptions and illustrations are based on models other than those in the U.K. or Europe. Any exceptions are clearly stated. ● This Owner’s Manual was printed before final product development. After printing, some product specifications may change due to operational upgrades and other reasons. In this case, the specifications of the product itself will take precedence over the specifications in this manual. ● In some cases, graphics or terms used may differ slightly from the actual product or packaging to facilitate explanation. Supplied Accessories Make sure all of the following accessories are in the box.

Check +/polarity B asic Press the h mark and slide off the back cover. Insert the two supplied batteries (AA, R06, UM-3) into the battery compartment. Close the back cover. Press h Preparation Preparing the Speakers The Front Speakers, Surround Speakers, Center Speaker and Subwoofer have special roles based on the type of sound each produces. • The Front Speakers produce front channel sound (stereo) and sound effects. • The Surround Speakers produce surround sound and sound effects. • The Center Speaker produces sound oriented toward the center of the screen such as dialog or vocals. • The Subwoofer produces bass sounds and the LFE signal contained in Dolby Digital and DTS. Placing the Speakers Front Speakers (L, R) Place the speakers as shown in the diagram below. Place the Front Left and Right 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 Front Speaker (R) Front Speaker (L) Surround Speaker (R) Center Speaker Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the monitor) and centrally between the front speakers. Surround Speakers (L, R) 1.8 m (6 feet) Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, approximately 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor. Subwoofer Surround Speaker (L) Subwoofer English Advice 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. Note • You can secure the Center Speaker, Surround Speakers or Subwoofer in place using fasteners or non-skid pads. You can hang the Front and Surround Speakers from the wall or attach them to optional speaker stands. See page 53, “Placing the Speakers (NX-P120)”. • If the television (monitor) image is distorted, place the speakers away from the television. 7 002DVX-S120-en 7 03.8.5, 1:39 PM Preparation Connecting the Speakers and TV Please ...

To guard against poor acoustics like sound blur make sure the speakers are stable. Also read page 7, Preparing the Speakers. Placing the Center Speaker Make sure the top of the television is level. If the top of the television is not level, place the Center Speaker inside the TV rack or directly on the floor. In any case, make sure it is placed on a level surface. When placing on top of the television, use the supplied fastener (two pieces) as shown in the picture on the left, between the bottom of the Center Speaker and top of the television to fasten. Fastener Note Peel off the seal Placing the Subwoofer Creating the Best Listening Space • Do not place on a television with top narrower than the bottom of the speaker. You may get injured if the speaker falls over. • Do not place if the top of the television is slanting. You may get injured if the speaker falls over. • After peeling off the fastener seal, do not touch the bonding surface. If you do, the bonding surface weakens, which later may cause the speaker to fall over. • Before attaching the fastener to the television, wipe the TV top clean. If the surface is dirty or wet tape will lose bonding strength, which later may cause the speaker to fall over. Place the Subwoofer on a level hard floor. When placing, use non-skid pads on the bottom of the Subwoofer in the four corners as shown in the picture. This will prevent the Subwoofer from sliding when it vibrates. Also, increasing stability prevents degradation of sound. English 53 012DVX-S120-en 53 03.8.5, 1:47 PM Creating the Best Listening Space Placing the Front and Surround Speakers You can place the Front Speakers and Surround Speakers on the floor or a rack, or attach them to a wall. You can also mount them on commercially available speaker stands. When placing on the floor or a rack As shown in the picture, attach the non-skid pads on the bottoms of the Front and Surround Speakers in the four corners. This stabilizes the speakers to prevent sliding. * Place on a stable, flat surface. Non-skid pad When attaching to a wall Screws (3.5 to 4 mm (1/8⬙ to 5/32⬙) dia., commercially available) 70 mm (23/4⬙) 70 mm (23/4⬙) 10 mm (13/32⬙) 20 mm (25/32⬙) or more Attach to the wall using the two holes on the back of the Front and Surround Speakers. Attach 2 screws (3.5 to 4 mm (1/8⬙ to 5/32⬙) dia., commercially available) to each place you want to hang a Front or Surround Speaker. Hang the speakers on the screws using the holes in the back of each speaker. Note • Make sure that the tapping screw enters the narrow part of the hole and the speaker is fixed securely in place. Note • One speaker weighs about 1.1 kg (2.43 lb). Make sure you fasten screws only into a solid wall or pillar. Do not attach to a wall that is made of plaster, decorative veneer sheeting or other material that peels easily. If the screws come off and a speaker falls, somebody may get injured. • Do not attach the speakers using nails or two-sided tape. Vibration during use may cause the nails to loosen, tape to peel off and speakers to fall, resulting in injury. • CinemaStation may fall over if your feet or hands get caught in the speaker cable. Make sure the cables are fixed in place. • After attaching everything, check the overall safety of your installation. YAMAHA will bear no responsibility for accidents caused by improperly placed equipment or faulty installation methods. 54 012DVX-S120-en 54 03.8.5, 1:47 PM Creating the Best Listening Space When attaching to a speaker stand and bracket Mounting bracket (supplied) Use the supplied screw to attach the mounting bracket to the bottom of the speaker. The jutting part of the bracket enters the groove at the speaker base. Screw (supplied) Use the bracket holes (60 mm (23/8⬙) spacing) to fasten the mounting bracket to the speaker stand. Use the screws (4 mm (5/32⬙) dia.), spring washers and washers. Advice • When attaching to a speaker stand and bracket, be sure to read their respective owner’s manuals. • When attaching to the optional SPS-80 Speaker Stands, you do not need to attach the supplied mounting brackets.

Using Commercially Available Speakers or Cables You can use commercially available speakers instead of the supplied Center Speaker, Front Speakers, Surround Speakers, or Subwoofer. You can also use commercially available speaker cables instead of the supplied cables. Note • Use a speaker with 6-ohm impedance or more. If a speaker with less than 6-ohm impedance is used, the protective circuit may trip or the speaker may malfunction. • Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers still create interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor. • Make sure the speaker cable you use is the same thickness as the supplied cable. Advice • Use speakers of the same manufacturer and quality, if possible. If the quality of each speaker differs, the voice of a moving person may become unnatural. 56 012DVX-S120-en 56 03.8.5, 1:47 PM Creating the Best Listening Space Changing the speaker cables Push up the release button and pull out the supplied speaker cable from the connector.

You can assign a VIDEO or VCR input name to the OPTICAL IN jack. This will allow you to use the VIDEO button or VCR button to input a device connected to the OPTICAL IN jack (VIDEO is assigned in the default setting.) Normally, an analog signal is input to the VIDEO or VCR IN jack, and a digital signal is input to the OPTICAL IN jack. However, by setting the input mode to AUTO the input will be automatically detected and you can then playback audio from the device you want by simply pressing an Input Selection button. Advice • It is possible to switch Input mode even if you press INPUT on CinemaStation for more than one second. • When Input mode is set to AUTO and a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the most suitable decoder is automatically selected. • The following happens when set to Input mode and DTS is played: — CinemaStation detects the DTS signal and automatically switch to DTS mode (t indicator lights up). Once DTS audio finishes playback, the t indicator may blink, and while it blinks only DTS audio can be played back. Immediately after DTS audio finishes playback, if you want to play normal PCM audio, reset the Input mode to AUTO. — If the DTS signal is interrupted when you perform Search or Skip, the t indicator may blink. If this condition continues for over 30 seconds, the Input mode automatically changes from DTS to normal digital (PCM) and the t goes out. • Using “* Input Mode” in the SET MENU you can set whether to use the Input mode specified previously when CinemaStation was turned on or return to AUTO. English Note • It is not possible to select ANLG with the DVD/CD Input Selection button. • You cannot switch input modes when the input jack you select with the Input Selection button can only input an analog input signal. • To play back DTS, set the Input mode to AUTO or DTS. Do not set it to ANLG.

Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System with a built-in power amplifier This subwoofer system (NX-SW120) employs Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA has developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. This super-bass sound adds a more realistic, theater-in-the-home effect to your stereo system.

MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson multimedia. 104 019DVX-S120-en 104 03.8.5, 1:52 PM Appendix Glossary Bit Stream A signal that is compressed and changed into digital format. Then depending on the decoder it can be processed as 5.1 multi-channel audio. By using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment can be reproduced, like the rustling of trees or sound of waves. Channel (ch) Dolby Pro Logic A channel is an audio type that has been divided based on range and other characteristics. Ex. 5.1 channel • Front Speakers, Left (1ch), Right (1ch) • Center Speaker (1 ch) • Surround Speakers, Left (1ch), Right (1ch) • Subwoofer (1 ch x 0.1* = 0.1 ch) A surround system that takes a 4-channel signal and records it as a 2-channel signal, then by way of some arithmetic processing converts back to an independent 4channel signal for playback. * In contrast to a full 1-channel band, a component designed to enhance low frequency sound for added effect. Cinema DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) Dolby Surround and DTS were originally designed for the movie theater, so playing the same program at home would produce disparate listening experiences depending on variables like the room size, walling and number of speakers. Yamaha Cinema DSP applies original sound field technology based on a wealth of real-world data measurements to reproduce Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS sound, combining them with acoustic scale, depth and tone so that you can experience the presence of a movie theater at home. Dolby Pro Logic II Takes any 2-channel source and reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround with excellent separation using special signal processing. You can experience Dolby Pro Logic II in MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode for stereo. You can even enjoy old movies that were only recorded in 2-channel audio (excluding monaural) in powerful 5.1-channel surround. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) The 5.1-channel surround system adopted by most movie theaters. With an abundance of audio data, it is able to provide authentic sounding effects. Dynamic Range The difference between the smallest sound that can be heard above the equipment noise and the biggest sound that can be heard without distortion is the dynamic range. Component Video Signal Decoder A device that converts encoded data on DVD and other media back to its original audio or video signal. Dolby Digital In general, DVD media can be classified into the 2 types below. • Film Data Video recorded at 24 frames/second. (The film used for shooting movies is recorded at 24 frames/second.) Recently 30 frames/second progressive video has made its debut. • Video Data Video recorded at 30 frames/second. CinemaStation will automatically recognize whether the source recorded on DVD is film or video, then select the best method to convert it into progressive output. Interlace and Progressive Outputs Up to now the standard video signal has been NTSC with 525i (i: interlaced) scan lines. In contrast, 525p (p: progressive) is a high-density signal with double the number of scan lines. English 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 fullrange audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1 channels. Film and Video Data Appendix A component video signal is separated into one luminance Y-signal and two chrominance PB/CB and PR/ CR signals. Since each signal is sent independently, color can be reproduced more faithfully. The component signal is also called a color-difference signal by the way it subtracts the luminance signal from the color signals. 105 019DVX-S120-en 105 03.8.5, 1:52 PM Appendix LFE (Low Frequency Effect) 0.1 Channel Sampling Frequency and Quantized Bit Rate This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. It is added to the full-range 5 channels in Dolby Digital and DTS to enhance low frequency sound for added effect. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low frequency range. When converting an analog signal to digital, 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 quantized bit rate. The frequency band that can be played back is determined by the sampling rate while the dynamic range expressing the difference in sound level is determined by the quantized bit rate. In principle, the higher the sampling rate, the wider the frequency range that can be played back. And the higher the quantized bit rate the finer the sound that can be reproduced. Linear PCM (LPCM) A signal that is changed to digital format without compression. A CD is recorded with 16-bit sound at 44.1kHz, while DVD recording is anywhere between 16 bits at 48 kHz to 24 bits at 192 kHz, which makes it a higher quality sound than CD. This signal also has a type called Packed PCM (P.PCM) that can be compressed without any loss of data. Matrix 6.1 CinemaStation incorporates a Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel software that enables 6.1-channel reproduction by adding the surround back channel to existing 5.1-channel format. (The surround back channel is created from surround left and right channels, and output from a virtual surround back speaker.) With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially scenes with "fly-over" and "fly-around" effects. NTSC SILENT CINEMA SILENT CINEMA is an original Yamaha system that reproduces in a pair of headphones the acoustic personality of sound field programs based on multispeakers. Headphone parameters have been set for each sound field so that natural stereoscopic sound can be expressed and enjoyed through headphones. S-Video Signal With S-video the video signal that was normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted as a luminance Y-signal and chrominance Csignal through an S video cable. Connecting with an S VIDEO jack you can enjoy recording and playback with more beautiful images. NTSC is a video signal system (525 lines, 30 frames per second) used in North America, Central America, a number of South American countries, and some Asian countries, including Japan. Title, Chapter (DVD Video) Pan & Scan and Letter Box Track (CD/Video CD) In general, DVD Video is produced for viewing on a wide television screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can now view most material with the intended aspect ratio on a wide-screen television. This ratio will not fit on a standard television that has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Two picture styles, Pan & Scan and Letterbox, deal with this problem. • Pan & Scan cuts off the left and right portions of the picture to fill the screen. • Letterbox inserts black bands at the top and bottom of the picture to reproduce an aspect ratio of 16:9. A CD or Video CD can be divided into a number of segments (tracks). Each division is called a title number. DVD video lets you divide a disc in a big way by titles or a small way by chapters. Each division is either called a title number or a chapter number. Virtual Cinema DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) Reproduces a surround speaker sound field to let you enjoy virtual Center and Surround L/R Speakers with only two Front L/R Speakers. PAL PAL is a video signal system (625 lines, 25 frames per second) used in the United Kingdom, much of the rest of western Europe, several South American countries, some Middle East and Asian countries, several African countries, Australia, New Zealand, and other Pacific island countries. 106 019DVX-S120-en 106 03.8.5, 1:52 PM Appendix Index 5ch Stereo ...................................................................... 17 A A-B Repeat .................................................................... 35 Action ............................................................................ 17 I, J Input Assign ................................................................... 91 Input Mode .................................................................... 91 Input Modes ................................................................... 77 Jazz Club ....................................................................... 17 L C Changing the Order of Preset Stations .......................... 43 CinemaStation Display brightness ................................ 91 Classic Hall .................................................................... 17 Connecting a CD or MD recorder ................................. 50 Connecting a Game Console ......................................... 46 Connecting a VCR ......................................................... 46 Connecting the Antennas ............................................... 38 Connecting the Speakers ................................................. 8 Connecting the TV .......................................................... 8 Connect a TV to an audio input ................................. 47 Connecting with S-video ................................................. 9 D L/R Balance ................................................................... 90 LEF Level ...................................................................... 90 Live Sports .................................................................... 17 M, N Matrix 6.1 ...................................................................... 64 MP3 ............................................................................... 37 Music Video ................................................................... 17 Night Listening .............................................................. 70 No Disc ........................................................................ 100 Non-skid pad ........................................................... 53, 54 O, P F Fastener ......................................................................... 53 Finding the Best DSP Effect .......................................... 16 Frame Advance .............................................................. 29 G, H On Screen Menu ............................................................ 24 On Screen Menu Guide ............................................. 94 Using the On Screen Menu ........................................ 92 Original Dolby and DTS Sound .................................... 73 Parental Control ............................................................. 80 Placing the Speakers ........................................................ 7 Playback Control (PBC) ................................................ 36 PRO LOGIC II Movie ................................................... 66 PRO LOGIC II Music ................................................... 66 Pro Logic II Music setting ......................................... 67 Program Play ................................................................. 31 Progressive Scan ............................................................ 79 R Reassign input jacks ...................................................... 91 Recording Audio from CinemaStation .......................... 52 Remote Control ............................................................. 21 Amp Mode ................................................................. 22 DVD/CD Mode .......................................................... 23 Tuner Mode ................................................................ 21 Using the Remote Control ......................................... 21 Repeat Play .................................................................... 34 Rock Concert ................................................................. 17 Appendix D.
