SPEAKER SETUP
Speakers to Be Used
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality
with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers
and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers
(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a
moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift
smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the
same manufacture to ensure even tonal quality.
The main 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, 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.
The main speakers should be high-performance models and
have enough power-handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers
do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise
sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-
performance models that can reproduce sounds over the full
range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
■ Use of a subwoofer expands your
sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective
not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all
channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency
effect) channel with high fidelity when playing back a
source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHA
Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for
natural and lively bass reproduction.
Speaker Placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the
speakers.
Main speaker (R)
Center speaker
Main
speaker (L)
Subwoofer
Rear speaker (L)
Rear speaker (R)
1.8 m
■ Main speakers
Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the
same.
■ Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing
slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the
floor.
■ Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face
of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the
monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the
monitor and centrally between the main speakers.
Note
• If the center speaker is not used, the sound will be heard from the
right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the
SET MENU is set to the NON position.
■ 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 main speakers. Turn it slightly
toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
CAUTION
Please use magnetically shielded speakers.
Sometimes a video monitor may be adversely affected
even when magnetically shielded speakers are used.
Separate the speakers from the monitor if this happens.

Connecting Audio Components
■ Connecting to 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.
y
• You can designate the input for each digital jack according to
your component by using “3 I/O ASSIGN” in the SET MENU.
Notes
• When making connections between the digital signal jacks, you
should connect the components to the same-named analog audio
signal jacks of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be
recorded by a recording component connected to this unit.
• All digital signal input jacks are applicable to sampling
frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
About the 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.
Note
• The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If
you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard,
this unit may not function properly.

ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE
Using the Test Tone
The adjustment of each speaker sound output level should
be performed at your listening position with the remote
control.
1 Press TEST.
“TEST LEFT” appears on the display.
2 Turn up the volume.
You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from each
speaker for about two seconds in following order: left
main speaker, center speaker, right main speaker, right
rear speaker and left rear speaker. The display changes
as shown below.
Notes
• If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set the unit
in the standby mode and check the speaker connections.
• If the test tone cannot be heard from the center speaker, check the
setting of “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU.
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level
balance between the main, center and rear speakers by using
the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is
performed, 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 Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital
decoder and DTS decoder.
Note
• Since this unit cannot enter the test mode while headphones are
connected to this unit, be sure to unplug the headphones from the
PHONES jack when using the test tone.
Before You Start Adjusting

■ Notes on playing a source
encoded with a DTS signal
• If the digital output data of the player has been processed
in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS
decoding even if you make a digital connection between
this unit and the player.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set
the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces the
noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to
play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to a
digital input jack and set the input mode to AUTO or
DTS.
• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while playing
a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces
no sound.
• The following phenomena may occur if the input mode
is set to AUTO when playing back a source encoded with
DTS:
– If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS
signal, this unit automatically switches to the “DTS-
decoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated
during subsequent operation. (The “t” indicator
lights up on the display.) The “t” indicator may flash
immediately after playback of a source encoded with a
DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a
DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is
flashing. (The indicator will flash for less than a minute.)
If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the
input mode back to AUTO.
– The “t” indicator may flash when a search or skip
operation is performed. If this status continues for a
certain length of time, the unit will automatically switch
from the “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal
input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.
Input Modes and Indications
This unit comes with various input jacks. If your component
is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set
the priority of the input signal.
Press INPUT MODE (or the input selector
button that you have pressed to select the
input source on the remote control) repeatedly
until the desired input mode is shown on the
display.
PLAYING A SOURCE
AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is
automatically selected in the following
order:
1) Dolby Digital or DTS signal
2) Digital (PCM) signal
3) Analog signal
DTS: In this mode, only the digital input
signal encoded with DTS is selected
even if another signal is input at the
same time.
ANALOG (ANLG): In this mode, only the analog input
signal is selected even if a digital
signal is input at the same time.
Notes
• If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and
OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack is
selected.
• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the
type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal,
the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and
reproduces 5.1 channel source.
• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD players and
DVD players in the following situation:
When the input mode has been set to AUTO and a search is
performed while playing the source encoded with a Dolby Digital
or DTS signal, the sound may delay for a moment when playback
is resumed.
• Depending on the LD player, playback may not be made when
playing an LD that is not digitally recorded with the input mode
set to AUTO. If this happens, set the input mode to ANALOG.

PLAYING A SOURCE
Notes
• Choose a DSP program based on your listening preference, and
not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your listening
room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound reflections in
your room to maximize the effect created by the program.
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects
the last DSP program used with that source.
• When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current source
and DSP program are memorized and are automatically selected
when you turn on the power again.
• If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode is
set to AUTO, the DSP program automatically switches to the
appropriate decoding program.
• When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/
NORMAL or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED, no sound will be heard
from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be
heard from the center speaker. However, if “CENTER SP” in the
SET MENU is set to NON, the center channel sound is output
from the main speakers.
• When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit is
selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT
CINEMA
Virtual CINEMA DSP
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the sound field
effects of the DSP program without rear speakers. Using
YAMAHA original technology, natural surround
reproduction is possible through the generation of a virtual
speaker.
The sound field processing is changed to the Virtual
CINEMA DSP mode by setting “REAR LR SP” on the SET
MENU to NON. Virtual CINEMA DSP is performed by
using the main speakers.
Note
• This unit is not set in the Virtual CINEMA DSP mode even if
“REAR LR SP” is set to NON in the following cases:
– when the 5CH STEREO, PRO LOGIC/NORMAL, DOLBY
DIGITAL/NORMAL or DTS/NORMAL program is selected;
– when the sound effect is turned off;
– when 6CH INPUT is selected as the input source;
– when the Dolby Digital KARAOKE source is played;
– when using the test tone; or
– when connecting the headphones (you will hear SILENT
CINEMA).
SILENT CINEMA
SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy the realistic feel of
the DSP program while using headphones. This feature
delivers powerful surround reproduction just as if listening
through the speakers.
You can listen to SILENT CINEMA by connecting your
headphones to the PHONES jack while the effect speakers
are on.

• If you turn off the sound effect when Dolby Digital or DTS is
decoding, it may happen that the sound is output faintly or not
output normally, depending on the source. In that case, turn back
on the sound effect.

TUNING
Automatic Preset Tuning (for RDS
stations only)
You can make use of the automatic preset tuning function
for RDS stations only. This function enables the unit to
automatically tune in with strong signals and to sequentially
store up to 40 RDS stations (5 groups x 8 stations).
1 Press FM/AM to select the FM band.
2 Press TUNING MODE (AUTO/MAN’L MONO) so
that the “AUTO” indicator lights up on the
display.
3 Hold down MEMORY (MAN’L/AUTO FM) for
about 3 seconds.
The preset number, the “MEMORY” and “AUTO”
indicators flash. After about 5 seconds, automatic
preset tuning begins from the frequency currently
displayed toward the higher frequencies.
Received stations are sequentially stored as A1, A2 ...
A8. If more than 8 stations have been tuned, they are
stored as preset station numbers in other groups (B, C,
D and E) in that order.
■ Automatic preset tuning options
You can select the preset number from which the unit will
store RDS stations and/or begin tuning toward lower
frequencies. Before automatic preset tuning begins (after
pressing MEMORY in step 3),
1. Press A/B/C/D/E and PRESET/TUNING l or h to
select the preset number with which the first station will
be stored. The automatic preset tuning will stop when
stations have all been stored up to E8.
2. Press PRESET/TUNING (EDIT) to turn “ z ” off and
then press PRESET/TUNING l to begin tuning toward
lower frequencies.
■ When automatic preset tuning is
completed
The display shows the frequency of the last preset station.
Check the contents and the number of preset stations by
following the procedure in the section “To Recall a Preset
Station” on page 29.
Notes
• A new setting can be stored in place of the former one.
• The reception mode is stored along with the station frequency.
• You can manually replace a preset station with another FM or AM
station by simply using the manual preset tuning method.
• Automatic preset tuning will be performed for all RDS network
stations until all have been stored up to E8. Even if the number of
received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, automatic
preset tuning is automatically ended after searching for all
stations.
• Only RDS stations with sufficient signal strength are stored by
automatic preset tuning. If the station you want to store is weak in
signal strength, tune in to it manually in monaural mode and store
it by using the manual preset tuning method. (There may be a
case that this unit cannot receive a station which could be
received by using the automatic tuning method. This is because
this unit receives a large amount of PI (Program Identification)
data along with the station.)
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data
from being lost when this unit is set in the standby mode.
If, however, the power cord is disconnected from the AC
power outlet or the power is cut for more than one week,
the memory will be erased. If so, store the stations again
by using preset tuning methods.

INTRODUCTION
PREPARATION
RECEIVING RDS STATIONS
Radio Data System (RDS) is a data transmission system by
FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system
transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the
normal radio signal.
RDS data contains various information such as PI (Program
Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program
Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced
Other Networks), etc. The RDS function is carried out
among the network stations.
Description of RDS Data
This unit can receive PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT, and EON data
when receiving RDS broadcasting stations.
■ PS (Program Service name) mode:
The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.
■ PTY (Program Type) mode:
The program type on the RDS station being received is
displayed. There are 15 program types to classify RDS
stations. You can make this unit search for a station which is
broadcasting a program of the desired type. Refer to “PTY
SEEK Function” for details.
■ 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):
Refer to “EON Function” on page 33.
Changing the RDS Mode
The four modes are available in this unit for displaying RDS
data. When an RDS station is being received, PS, PTY, RT
and/or CT that correspond to the RDS data services offered
by the station light up on the 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. Illumination of the red indicator next to the
RDS mode indicator shows that the corresponding RDS
mode is now selected.
Notes
• When an RDS station is being received, do not press RDS
MODE/FREQ until one or more RDS mode indicators light up on
the display. If you press the button before the indicators light up
on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because the
unit has not yet received all of the RDS data on the station.
• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.
• The RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the
received signal is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode
requires a large amount of data to be received, so it is possible
that the RT mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes
(PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
• RDS data cannot sometimes be received under poor reception
conditions. If so, press TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO”
indicator goes off from the display. Although the reception mode
is changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the
display to RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.
• 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 display.

6 DTS SET (DTS LFE level)
This setting is effective only when this unit decodes DTS
signals.
Use this feature to adjust the output level of the LFE (low-

Note
• Adjust the LFE level according to the capacity of your subwoofer.
7 SP DLY TIME (center delay)
Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center channel
sound. This feature works when this unit decodes a Dolby
Digital or DTS signal. Ideally, the center speaker should be
the same distance from the listening position as the left and
right main speakers. However, in most home situations, the
center speaker is placed in line with the main speakers. By
delaying the sound from the center speaker, the apparent
distance from the center speaker to the listening position can
be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance
between the left and right main speakers to the listening
position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is
especially important for giving depth to the dialog.
Control range (ms): 0 to 5
Initial setting: 0 ms

DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS
When using the digital sound field processor with the
Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS
decoder, you can adjust the delay time between the main
sound and sound effect, and each speaker’s output level as
you wish.
Delay Time
You can adjust the time difference between the beginning
of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of
the sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the
value, the later the sound effect is generated. The delay
time can be individually adjusted to all DSP programs.
Notes
• Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some
sources.
• The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay
time.

1 CONCERT HALL —
Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field
suitable for background music at parties.
Note
• Reverberations (sound effects) for realizing the sound field and unprocessed stereo from the left and right main speakers is output. The
sound is not output from the center speaker. (The sound is output when one of these programs is selected while playing a source encoded
with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. If 5CH STEREO is selected, the sound is output from all speakers regardless of the input source.)
This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz
club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering a
real and vibrant sound.
A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from
all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great deal of
presence, and your virtual seat is near the center, close to the stage.
3 ROCK CONCERT —

■ MOVIE THEATER 1 and 2
Most commercially available movie software has 4-channel (left, center, right and surround) sound information encoded by
Dolby Surround matrix processing and stored on the left and right tracks. These signals are processed by the Dolby Pro Logic
decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend
to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes.
The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using
matrix processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER 70 mm programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization
that 6-channel soundtracks do.
When the input source is analog, PCM or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2-channel
These programs express an immense sound field and a large
surround effect. They also give depth to the sound from the
main speakers to recreate the realistic sound of a Dolby Stereo
theater.

When the input source is encoded with Dolby Digital (5.1-channel) or DTS (Tri-Field CINEMA DSP)
These programs use YAMAHA’s tri-field DSP processing on
each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front, left

Problem
FM stereo reception
is noisy.
The characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts
may cause this problem when the transmitter is
too far away or the antenna input is poor.
Check the antenna connections.
Try using a high-quality directional FM
antenna.
There is distortion,
and clear reception
cannot be obtained
even with a good FM
antenna.
There is multipath interference. Adjust the antenna position to eliminate
multipath interference.
The desired station
cannot be tuned in
with the automatic
tuning method.
The station is too weak.
Use the manual tuning method.
Previously preset
stations can no
longer be tuned in.
The unit has been disconnected for a long
period.
Re-store the stations.
The desired station
cannot be tuned in
with the automatic
tuning method.
The signal is weak or the antenna connections
are loose.
Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and
orient it for best reception.

GLOSSARY
■ Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording
system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects:
two left and right main channels (stereo), a center channel
for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The rear 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
three front channels (left, center and right), and two rear
stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides five 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).
Using two-channel stereo for the rear 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 five 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.
■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a six-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 is practically
distortion-free, clear 6-channel sound (technically, a left,
right and center channels, two rear channels, plus an LFE
0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1 channels).
■ 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 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel
systems.
■ CINEMA DSP
DIGITAL
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.
■ 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 rear speakers by using virtual rear
speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP in a
minimum two-speaker system that does not include a center
speaker.

■ 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.
■ I/O ASSIGN (SET MENU)
Although component is normally connected according to
jack names shown on the rear panel, this unit includes a
function that assigns jacks according to the component
being connected. If the component being used differs from
the component name shown for this unit’s digital input
jacks, it is possible to assign jacks according to the
component being connected. This makes it possible to
change the jack assignment and effectively connect more
component.
