Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment.
This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV
receiver available. Some of the more advanced features may
not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art
technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater
Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have
probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature
films in theaters around the world.
To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this
unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening
environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound
field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an
outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take
some time now to read more about these features and enjoy
the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
Digital Sound Field Processing
Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30
years have enhanced the listening experience with improved
clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been
missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public
venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched
the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects
inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters
and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of
those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they
collected is used to recreate these environments in digital
sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created
using data measured directly at the original venue; others are
created from combinations of data to form unique
environments for specific purposes.
Of course, that only solves half of the problem. These
engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your
listening room, so we’ve made it possible for you to adjust the
various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to
your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any
source and in combination with any of the following surround
sound technologies. Some are designed especially for music,
and some especially for movies.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Surround has been used in movie theaters since the
mid-seventies. It has also been available in home
entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to
be a popular format for home theater systems. It 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 rear channel for special sound
effects. The rear 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 Surround 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.
Introduction
What’s DSP?
INTRODUCTION

English
Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound system
developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate
audio coding.
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.
Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system
(left front, center, right front and just one surround channel),
Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or
split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the
three front channels.
By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience
the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Digital theater sound
in your home.
Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full range
channels and precise sound orientation by the digital sound
processing presents listeners much excitement and realism
that has never been experienced before.
Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, and
moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2
channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2
channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby
Digital in the market.
Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit
from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be
applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of
Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide
an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

“AC-3”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to
replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete
channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is 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.
The DTS technology, through intense research and
development, made it possible to deliver a similar
encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-
sound entertainment.
The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which
delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically
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
The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the
six channels of 20-bit audio onto some laserdiscs, compact
discs and DVDs with considerably less data-compression.
By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS
installed theater’s high quality sound in your home.
Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD are home audio format
within which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channel
audio. (In addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting new
multi-channel music recordings will also become available in
the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and
the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-
decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide
acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the
room, letting you feel much presence as if you were
watching a movie in a popular Dolby Surround theater.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of No.
12 is selected, and the input signal of the source is analog,
PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channels.
Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and
the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby
Digital-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound field
respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and
much surround effect in the room without losing high
channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby
Digital or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you
feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby
Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This is the most
ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS
DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the
input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital
(except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS.
CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full
ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater
that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound
environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is
difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the
number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening
room is very different from a movie theater.
However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearly
the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in
your home by compensating for the lack of presence and
dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround
sounds.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs
that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP
technology and Dolby Surround or DTS.

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field
quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of
main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs
of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center
speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a
seven-speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one
pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide
impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a
good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to
the full seven-speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker
system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still performed,
but the main speakers are used for both the main channels
and the front effect channels.
Use of the center dialog speaker is
recommended
When playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or
playing back a source which contains center-channel signals
with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are
output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to
maximize the performance of your Audio/Video home theater
system, it is recommended that you use a center channel
speaker.
If, for some reason, it is not practical to use a center speaker, it
is possible to enjoy the movie without it. Best results, however,
are obtained with the full system.
Use of a subwoofer expands your sound
field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer
is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any
or all channels, but also for reproducing signals at the
subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a
source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded. You may wish to
choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.
Speaker setup
m Speakers and speaker placement
Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker
pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers),
the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS,
plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a
SUBWOOFER.
The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models
and have enough power handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system.
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 in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONT
EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the ordinary position.
Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the
MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.5–1m behind and
above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.
Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.
They should be nearly 1.8m above the floor.
Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two
MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker
above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically
shielded speaker.)
If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo
Processing Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is
not so critical because low bass tones are not highly
directional.

4 Speaker System
Basic system.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding a pair of
rear speakers to a basic stereo speaker system.
1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 5ch. (See page 29.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 28.)
6 Speaker System
Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources.
When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound
field programs No. 1 through No. 7, a sound effect matching
that of a 7-speaker system can be obtained. The addition of
front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective
sound field.
1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 7ch. (See page 29.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 28.)
5 Speaker System
Good for Audio/Video sources.
By the use of a center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals
etc.) are precisely localized.
1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 5ch. (See page 29.)
1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 28.)
7 Speaker System
This is the recommended speaker system, providing the
best sound effects.
The rear speakers and the front effect speakers produces a
360-degree sound field, and the center speaker provides
precise center localization.
You can experience the amazing YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP”
sound fields completely with the 7 speaker system.

m Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals
If your CD player, MD recorder, LD player, DVD player,
TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical
digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to
this unit’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL, or both terminals.
Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog
audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are
necessary, especially for an LD player, a DVD player or a CD
player to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to
this unit.
To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an
external unit, remove the cover from each optical terminal, and
then connect them by using a commercially available optical
fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables
might not function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or
COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit
connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals
of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape
deck or VCR connected to only analog audio signal terminals
of this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals
between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 37 for details.)
* However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this

The speaker connections described on page 21 are fine for
most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to
drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with your
existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for
connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.
1 MAIN PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
The PRE OUT terminals are for main channel line output,
and the MAIN IN terminals are for line input to the built-in
main channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN IN
terminals must be connected with jumper bars when the
built-in amplifier is used.
However, if you drive main speakers with an external
stereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars, and
then connect the input terminals of the external amplifier
(MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver)
to the PRE OUT terminals. No connection is needed to
the MAIN IN terminals.
* Output signals from the PRE OUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE
controls and BASS EXTENSION button and the TONE
BYPASS button.
2 SUBWOOFER terminal
When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to
this terminal. Low frequencies distributed from the main,
center and/or rear channels are output from this terminal.
(The cut-off frequency of this terminal is 90 Hz.) Signals
of LFE (low frequency effect) generated when Dolby
Digital or DTS is decoded are also output if they are
assigned to this terminal.
3 CENTER terminal
This terminal is for center channel line output.
If you drive a center speaker with an external power
amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external
amplifier to this terminal.
There is no connection to this terminal when you use the
built-in amplifier.
4 FRONT terminals
These terminals are for front effect channel line output.
If you drive front effect speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the
external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an
amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
5 REAR (SURROUND) terminals
These terminals are for rear channel line output.
If you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power
amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a
receiver) to these terminals.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
Notes
Output level of signals from all of these terminals are
adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel
or MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote controller.
If an external power amplifier is connected to the
CENTER, FRONT or REAR output terminals, do not use
the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals (CENTER,
FRONT or REAR).

Connect the included indoor antenna to the 75UNBAL. FM
ANT terminal.
Note
Do not use an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM
antenna at the same time.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect
the GND terminal to a good ground. A good ground is a
metal stake driven into moist earth.
PREPARATION
m Optional outdoor FM antenna
Consult your dealer or authorized service center about the best
method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of the flat ribbon cable is also important. Flat ribbon
cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat
easier to handle when routing it through windows and around
rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better
job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of
weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a
signal conductor as flat ribbon cable. Coaxial cable is
somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable
enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the
antenna is designed to be used with this type of cable.
* Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a
75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.
300-ohm flat ribbon cable 75-ohm coaxial cable
75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter
Notes for FM antenna installation
To minimize the influence of automobile ignition noise,
locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.
Keep the flat ribbon cable or coaxial cable as short as
possible. Do not bundle or roll up an excess of the cable.
The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from
reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from the left main
speaker, then the center speaker, then the right main
speaker, then the right rear speaker, and then the left rear
speaker, for about 2.5 seconds each. The display changes
as shown below.
* The state of the test tone output is also shown on the
monitor screen by an image of the audio listening room.
This is convenient for adjusting each speaker level.
* If the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode
is set in the “NONE” position, you will hear the center
channel test tone from the left and right main speakers.
9 Adjust the BALANCE control so that the effect sound
output level of the left main speaker and the right main
speaker are the same.
10 Adjust the sound output levels of the center speaker
and the rear speakers so that they become almost
the same as the main speakers.
How to adjust:
Pressing the + or – key adjusts the level to the speaker
(except the main speakers) currently outputting the test
tone.
* Pressing the + key raises and the – key lowers the
level.
* While adjusting, the test tone is fixed on the selected
speaker.
If desired, you can select a speaker to output the test
tone by pressing the or key once or more so that
“CENTER”, “RIGHT SURROUND” or “LEFT
SURROUND” appears on the display.
* While holding the or key pressed, the test tone
is fixed on the selected speaker.
* “CENTER” shows the center speaker is selected,
“RIGHT SURROUND” shows the right rear speaker,
and “LEFT SURROUND” shows the left rear speaker.
* The output level of the selected speaker can be
adjusted by the + or – key.

11 For the front effect speaker level adjustment, press
the TEST key on the remote controller again so that
“TEST DSP” appears on the display.
A calibration signal should be heard from the main
speakers and the front effect speakers in turn.
12 Adjust the front effect speaker level by pressing the
+ or – key so that it becomes almost the same as
the main speakers.
* While adjusting, the test tone is fixed on the front
effect speaker.
* Pressing the or key makes the test tone fix
on the left front effect speaker and the right front
effect speaker respectively. This is helpful for you
to check that each speaker is correctly connected
to this unit.
13 When the adjustment is finished, press the TEST
key once again to cancel the test tone.
Notes
Once you have completed these adjustments, you can
adjust the sound level on your audio system by using the
VOLUME control (or the MASTER VOLUME keys on the
remote controller) only.
If you use external power amplifiers, you may also use
their volume controls to obtain proper balance.
If the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode
is set in the “NONE” position, in step 10, the sound output
level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is
because in this mode, the center sound is automatically
output from the left and right main speakers.
If there is insufficient sound output from the center and
rear speakers, you may decrease the main speaker
output level by setting the function “1F. MAIN LEVEL” in
the SET MENU mode in the “–10dB” position.

the COAXIAL terminal is selected.
DTS:
In this mode, only digital input signals encoded with DTS is
selected even though other signals are input at the same time.
ANALOG
In this mode, only analog input signals are selected even
though digital signals are input at the same time.
Select this mode when you want to use analog input signals
instead of digital input signals.
v For DVD/LD source:
The following five input modes are provided.
AUTO:
This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the
power to this unit.
In this mode, the input signal is automatically selected by the
following order of priority.
1. Dolby Digital RF signal (DOLBY DIGITAL)
2. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, or normal
digital input signals (PCM)
3. Analog input signal (ANALOG)

though other types of signals are input at the same time.
BASIC OPERATION
m Switching the input mode
This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources that send two or more types of signals to this unit.
38
Notes on input mode selection
The input mode for a TV/DBS source is selected with
function “7. TV/DBS INPUT” in the SET MENU mode. This
unit will be automatically set to the selected input mode
when the power is turned on.
Set the input mode to the AUTO or D.D.RF mode to play a
DVD/LD source encoded with Dolby Digital.
Select the ANALOG mode to play a normal 2-channel
source with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program.
The sound output may be interrupted in some LD and DVD
players in the following situation:
The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is made while
playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, then
disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for
a moment because the digital input signal was selected
again.
The input mode cannot be changed for PHONO, TUNER,
VCR 1, VCR 2 and VIDEO AUX sources because only
analog signals are used.
The present input mode appears on the front display and
monitor screen when the input source is changed to
DVD/LD, CD, TAPE/MD or TV/DBS, or the input mode is
changed.
The present input signal also appears when the input mode
is changed to AUTO, as shown in the following figure.
* However, the present input signal will not appear when
the input mode is switched during the speaker test mode.
Only AUTO will be displayed.
Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS
Select the DTS mode when playing an LD or CD source
encoded with DTS. (Red “dts” indicator is illuminated on
the display panel.) If the “AUTO” mode is selected, a
noise may be heard just after playback begins.
Do not play these sources in the ANALOG mode
because only background noise will be output from the
speakers.
This unit is automatically locked in the DTS decoding
mode when playing a CD or LD source encoded with
DTS in the AUTO mode to prevent background noise in
future operation. The red “dts” indicator will be flashing.
In the above mode, no sound will be heard if a disc with
normal digital signals (PCM) is played from a CD or LD
source. The INPUT MODE button on the front panel, or,
the input selector key for the current source on the
remote controller must be pressed so that “PCM”
appears on the display panel.

Notes on recording
The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls, the
BASS EXTENSION button and the settings of DSP have
no effect on the material being recorded.
Composite video and S video signals pass independently
through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or
dubbing video signals, if your video source unit is connected
to provide only a S video (or only a composite video) signal,
you can record only a S video (or only a composite video)
signal on your VCR.
A source that is connected to this unit between optical
digital terminals only cannot be recorded by a tape deck or
VCR other than the tape deck (or MD recorder etc.)
connected to the OPTICAL TAPE/MD OUT terminal of this
unit.
Dolby Digital RF audio input signal cannot be recorded by a
tape deck or VCR. To record an LD source, the LD player
must be connected to the OPTICAL digital audio signal
input terminal and/or analog audio signal input terminals of
this unit.
A source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER
INPUT terminals of this unit cannot be recorded.
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record
from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of
copyright material may infringe on copyright laws.
If you play back a video source that uses scramble or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, there may
be a case that display information superimposed on the
picture and/or the picture itself is disturbed due to those
signals.

A recalled station is shown by the frequency (and the station
name if the station employs PS data service) on the display.
Notes
You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM
station manually by simply following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on page 43.
The automatic preset tuning search will be performed
through all RDS network frequencies until stations are
stored up to E-8. If the number of received stations is not
enough to be stored up to E-8, the search is finished
automatically after searching all frequencies.
With this function, only RDS stations with sufficient signal
strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to
program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural
manually and program it by following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on page 43.
* There may be a case that this function cannot receive a
station which could be received by the automatic tuning
method. This is because this function receives a large volume
of PI (Program Identification) data along with the station.

BASIC OPERATION
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced 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.
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.
* This unit utilizes PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT and EON to receive RDS broadcast stations.
Displaying RDS data
In areas where RDS broadcasts cannot be received, the RDS broadcast functions do not operate. (Skip the procedures from pages
47 to 51.)
The following five modes are available in this unit for displaying
RDS data.
PS (Program Service name) mode:
Displays the name of the RDS station now being received.
PTY (Program Type) mode:
Displays the type of the program on the RDS station now being
received. There are 15 program types for classifying RDS
stations. Refer to the next page for details.
RT (Radio Text) mode:
Displays information about the program (such as the title of the
song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station now being
received.
CT (Clock Time) mode:
Displays the current time. This signal comes from the RDS
station now being received.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
mode:
Select a program type with the EON button. The unit will
automatically change to a station that starts to broadcast that
type of program. When the program is finished, the unit will
return to the original program.

BASIC OPERATION
m Changing the RDS modes
When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY”, “RT” and/or “CT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station
light up on the display. By pressing the RDS MODE button once or more, you can change the display mode among the RDS modes
employed by the received station in the order shown below. (The RDS mode not employed by the station cannot be selected.)
Illumination of the indicator on the head of the name of an RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now selected.
* When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE button until one or more names of RDS modes light up on the
display. If the button is pressed before one or more names light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because
the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet.
* If no name of RDS mode lights up on the display, the mode cannot be changed.
PS mode The name of the station being received is displayed.
If the station does not employ the PS data service, this mode
will not be selected.
PTY mode The type of the program currently broadcasted on the station
is displayed. If the station does not employ the PTY data
service, this mode will not be selected.
(You can make this unit search for a station which is
broadcasting a program of your desired program type. For
details, refer to the next page.)
RT mode Information about the program currently broadcasted on the
station is displayed. Information is displayed by a maximum
of 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign. If other
characters are used on the RT data, they are replaced by
under-bars and displayed.
If the station does not employ the RT data service, this mode
will not be selected.
CT mode Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data
from the station being received changes every minute.
If the reception of data is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may
light up. If the station does not employ the CT data service,
this mode will not be selected.
RDS MODE
Notes
RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode)
needs sufficient data to be received, so the RT mode may not display even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
RDS data reception may not be possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the TUNING MODE button so that the
“AUTO” indicator goes off from the display. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you
change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.
If the signal strength becomes weakened by external interference when receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be
cut off suddenly and “
...
WAIT” will light up on the display.

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand
and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your
listening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend
on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Digital decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound
reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded
with DTS. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined
operation of YAMAHA DSP and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround or DTS.
This unit has 12 programs for digital sound field processing; 7 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 5
programs for Audio/Video sources. In addition, each program has two subprograms. All programs contain various parameters that
can be adjusted to the listener’s taste.
For details about digital sound field programs, refer to pages 57 to 61.

You can create your own sound field taste. (For details, refer to pages 66 to 70.)
Notes
Program selection can be made to individual input sources. Once you select a program, it is linked with the input source selected
at this time. So, when you select the same input source the next time, the same program will be automatically recalled.
If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT button. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround
sound effect.
When a monaural sound source is played with the program PRO LOGIC (Normal/Enhanced), a proper effect will not be
obtained. Moreover, sound may become unnatural depending on the settings of the speaker output modes (1A to 1D) in the SET
MENU mode.
When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used, if the main-source sound is
considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE control, the relationship between the center and rear channels
may produce an unnatural effect.
When a source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit is selected, the DSP cannot be used
and the EFFECT button also will not function.

m To enjoy a video source encoded
with Dolby Pro Logic Surround,
Dolby Digital or DTS
When you select the program No. 10, 11 or 12, and the input
signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic
Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the
input signal of the source is encoded with Dolby Digital, Dolby
Digital is automatically decoded.
When some program is selected and the input signal of the
source is encoded with DTS, DTS is automatically decoded.
The following indicators on the display panel show you what
sound processing is being made.
1 Lights up when a DVD source encoded with DTS is played
back and DTS is decoded.
2 Lights up when an LD source or a CD source encoded with
DTS is played back and DTS is decoded.
3 Lights up when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the
signals of selected source encoded with Dolby Digital is
not in 2-channels.
4 Lights up when Dolby Pro Logic Surround is being
decoded.
5 Lights up when Digital Sound Field Processor is turned
on.
The display panel or the monitor screen will show the selected
subprogram according to the type of the decoding.
Notes
Dolby Digital will not be decoded if the source that is not
encoded with Dolby Digital.
DTS will not be decoded if the source that is not encoded
with DTS.
If the input signals of source encoded with Dolby Digital
are in 2-channels only, the sound processing for them is
similar to that for analog or PCM audio signals.
The indicator 3 will also light up when the input mode is set
to “D.D.RF” even if no signal encoded with Dolby Digital is
input to this unit.
Note
If you change the LD (or CD) being played back with DTS
decoded to another disc not encoded with DTS when the red
“dts” indicator is illuminated, playing back the newly selected
disc will output no sound. In this state, the red “dts” indicator
flashes to show that this unit is locked in the DTS-decoding
mode.
To play back the disc normally, change the current DTS-
decoding mode to another mode by pressing an input selector
key on the remote controller or the INPUT MODE button on
the front panel so that the red “dts” indicator turns off.
m To cancel the effect sound
The EFFECT button on the front panel or the EFFECT ON/OFF
key on the remote controller make it simple to compare the
normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound.
To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound,
press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button. Press
the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button a second time
to restore the effect sound.
Notes
If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with
Dolby Digital or DTS are input to this unit, signals of all
channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers.
If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed
to turn effect sounds off when Dolby Digital or DTS is
decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not
output normally depending on a source. In that case, press the
EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key to turn effect
sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with Dolby
Digital or DTS.
If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is
pressed to turn effect sounds off, some information is shown
on the display panel depending on the type of the current
digital input signals. When Dolby Digital is decoded, for
example, the sampling frequency and channel formation of
the decoded signal is shown on the display panel.

Notes
Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the
same in all the digital sound field programs.
The value of each speaker output level you set the last time
will remain memorized even when this unit is in the standby
mode.
However, if the power cord is disconnected for more than
one week, these values will be automatically changed to the
factory default settings.
If the function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode is
set in the “NONE” position, the center speaker output level
cannot be adjusted. This is because, in this mode, the
center sound is automatically output from the left and right
main speakers.
When one of the DSP programs No. 1 to 7 is selected, the
center speaker output level cannot be adjusted.
When is not illuminated on the display, the

This is a large fan-shaped concert hall in Munich which has approximately
2500 seats. Almost the whole interior is made of wood. There is relatively
little reflection from the right and left walls, and sounds spread finely and
beautifully.
A classic shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 1700 seats. Pillars
and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections. Those
reflections and the reflections from all directions of the hall produce a very
full, rich sound.
This is a large 2600-seat concert hall in the United States which features a
fairly traditional European design. The interior is relatively simple,
suggesting an American taste. Sound of the middle and high frequencies
are richly and beautifully reproduced.
A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections
from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. You will experience
the sound field with a great deal of presence sitting at about the center
position near the stage.
This sound field is also effective for karaoke. This is because you feel as if
you are standing on a real stage.
Recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high pointed dome
and columns along the sides. This interior produces very long reverberations.
This program features a sound field created by the refectory (dining hall) of
the monastery, a beautiful medieval Gothic structure located in Royaumont on
the outskirts of Paris. The dome-like spaces in the ceiling formed by the
supporting pillars cause reverberations to echo and create a beautiful,
lingering tone.

FEATURE
Provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining
excessive reverberation.
For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you
feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is
relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of
the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an
opera.
Produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that you are in the
midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert.
The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound
field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the
image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded.
This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.).
Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front
presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The
use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a
pleasant mix of conversations and picture.
Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the
rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall.
With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as
the news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo
broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center
position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the
surround side, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly
restrained.

detail, giving both the video and the sound field
incredible reality. Any kind of video sources encoded
with Dolby Surround or DTS (especially large-scale
movie productions) are ideal for use with this program.
Clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest
sound design of science fiction films, thus creating a
broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence.
You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space
sound field that includes Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital
and DTS-encoded software employing the most
advanced techniques.
Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the
newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be
similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the
reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as
much as possible. The data of the sound field of an
opera house are used for the front presence side, so the
three dimensional feeling of the sound field is
emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the
screen. By using the data of the sound field of a concert
hall on the rear surround side, powerful reverberations
are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure
movies, etc. with much presence.
This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track
film, and characterized by a soft and extensive sound
field. The front presence side of the sound field is
relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and
toward the screen, restraining echo effect of
conversations without losing clarity. For the surround
side, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully
in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

2. DLBY DGTL (DOLBY DIGITAL) SET
Adjusting method
After selecting the title “2. DLBY DGTL SET” in step 2 on page 62, press the + or – key to display the title “2A. LFE LEVEL”. To
select the title “2B. D-RANGE”, press the
key. (To select the title
“2A. LFE LEVEL” again, press the key.) Then make a
setting change or adjustment with the + or – key.
2A. LFE LEVEL [Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel]
Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB
Preset value: 0 dB
This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is
decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded
with Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.
Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect)
channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other
channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio
of LFE signals to other signals can be adjusted. (Refer to page 5
for details about the LFE channel.)
ADVANCED FEATURES
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is
decoded.
“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level
and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie
originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide
dynamic range.
Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into
a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged.
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not
always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of
your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase
the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in
a level suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts of
source sound cannot be heard well because they will be lost
among noises in your environment.
Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an
original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format
by “compressing” the data of sound.
MAX: In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital
is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide
dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds
like a movie theater.
Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can
listen to a source in a high output level in a room
specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital
is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of
the source suitable for low level listening.
MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than
in the STD position. Selecting this position will be
effective when you must listen to a source in an
extremely low level.
* In this position, it may happen that sound is output
faintly or not output normally depending on a
source. In that case, select the MAX or STD
position.

ADVANCED FEATURES
4. CENTER DELAY [Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.)]
Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step)
Preset value: 0 ms
This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital or
DTS is decoded and the signals of the selected source
encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS contain center
channel signals.
Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main
channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel).
The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated.
In your audio system, the distance from the center speaker to
your listening position may be shorter than the distance from
the left or right main speaker to your listening position. In that
case, sounds from the left main, center and right main
speakers can reach your listening position at the same time by
delaying the sound from the center speaker.
5. PARAMETER INI (Initializing parameters on a DSP program)
You can initialize all parameter settings on a DSP program.
Note that a DSP program has two or three subprograms; all
parameters on both subprograms are initialized by this
operation.

What is a sound field?
In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, we
need to first understand what a sound field really is.
What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are
the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition
to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell
where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the
room in which we are sitting. We can even tell whether it is
highly reflective with steel and glass surfaces, or more
absorbent with wood panels, carpeting and curtains.
The elements of a sound field
In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two
distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the
sound field:
(1) Early Reflections.
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly
(50 ms — 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting
from one surface only—for example, from the ceiling or a
wall. These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown
in the diagram on page 68 for any particular environment,
and provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections
actually add clarity to the direct sound.
(2) Reverberations.
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface—walls, ceiling, the back of the room—so
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the
clarity of the direct sound.
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation
taken together help us to determine the subjective size and
shape of the room, and it is this information that the DSP
reproduces in order to create sound fields.
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would
be able to create your own listening environment. The
acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert
hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability
to create sound fields at will is exactly what Yamaha has done
with the DSP.
DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine
apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to
the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are
preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create
the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to
use DSP programs without changing values of parameters,
however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound
fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust
those parameters. Even if the power cord of this unit is
disconnected from the AC outlet, your custom sound fields will
remain in the DSP’s memory for about two weeks. The
following page details how to make your own sound fields.
In addition to the “TYPE” parameter which selects the
subprograms within each DSP program (for example, “Europe
Hall A”, and “Europe Hall B” for the program 1. “CONCERT
HALL 1”), each program also has a set of parameters that
allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic
environment to precisely create the effect you want. These
parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors
that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert
hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for
example, affects the length of time between the “early
reflections”—that is, the first few widely spaced reflections you
hear after the direct sound. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter
provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing
between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the
“room” you hear. In addition to room size, the shape of the
room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant
effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for
example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out
quicker, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to
carry on for a longer period of time. The DSP parameters allow
you to control these and many other factors that contribute to
your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially
“redesign” the concert halls, theaters, etc. provided to create
custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your
mood and music.
Refer to “Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters” on
pages 68 to 70 for a description of what each parameter does,
how it effects the sound, and its control range.

m Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters
Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.
ROOM SIZE
How it Affects the Sound:
Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger
the value, the larger the simulated room will sound.
What it Does:
Adjusts the timing between the early reflections. Early
reflections are the first group of reflections you hear before
the subsequent, dense reverberation begins.
Control Range:
0.1 – 2.0
Standard setting is 1.0.
Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent
volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all
doubled).
P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size)
Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound
field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between
reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound
source.
S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)
Adjusts the apparent space size of the rear surround sound field.
The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field
becomes.
INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)
How it Affects the Sound:
Changes the apparent distance from the source sound.
Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective
surface determines the delay between the direct sound and
the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the
sound source within the acoustic environment.
What it Does:
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first
reflection heard by the listener.
Control Range:
1 – 99 milliseconds
For a small living room this parameter would be set for a small
value. Large values for a big room. Larger values produce an
echo effect.
P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection
on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the
later the first reflection begins.
Control Range:
1 – 99 milliseconds
S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection
on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value,
the later the first reflection begins.

LIVENESS
How it Affects the Sound:
This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls
in the hall.
The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity
(decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent
wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective
surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the
early reflections decay slowly is termed “live”, while a room
with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay
rapidly is termed “dead”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you
adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness”
of the room.
What it Does:
Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay.
Control Range:
0 – 10.
LIVENESS (Presence Liveness)
Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence
sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front
presence sound field becomes.
S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)
Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround
sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the rear
surround sound field becomes.
REV. TIME (Reverberation Time)
How it Affects the Sound:
The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily
on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This
parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the
acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.
What it Does:
Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense,
subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (1 kHz).
Control Range:

REMOTE CONTROLLER
This is a learning remote controller. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to “learn” control
functions from other remote controllers. This unit can be used in place of other remote controllers by learning their functions. It will
be much convenient for you to operate various audio and video components.
Some of the “learning-capable” keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and
other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired.
* See page 80 for the learning method.
* See page 82 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions).
Note
If the memory capacity of the remote controller becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are
not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote controller, up to about 50 functions
can be stored. Therefore, we recommend that only required functions be stored.
Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4)
In the “Learning-capable” keys, the keys numbered 14 in the
illustration on the left can have three functions. This is because they
have three memory areas (A, B and C). (One function per area.)
You can store new functions into the area B and C, and use three
functions on a key by switching the memory areas with the A/B/C
switch. (Area A cannot learn a new function.)
To use these keys:
1. Before using a key, select area A, B or C of the key on which the
function you want to use is stored by using the A/B/C switch.
2. Press the key.
The default settings of these keys are as follows.

If a key which has a preset function learns a new function,
the preset function will not work but is not deleted. When the
learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored.
(For information on clearing a learned function, refer to page
82.)
Empty keys (1, 2)
These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from
another remote controller.
For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of
your TV’s power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your
VCR’s power switch.
About the marks on the remote controller
An input selector key and other control keys which have the
same mark will work for the same input source.
These marks are also helpful for storing new functions.
Examples)
Area B of keys 1 is suitable for storing functions to control
your VCR.
Area B of keys 3 is suitable for storing functions to control
your TV/BS tuner.
About the lighting of keys
When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3
seconds.
When an input selector key in the group of selected memory
area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of a key group (
13)
which is the same as the mark of the selected input selector
key lights up for about 3 seconds.
Example:
Conversely, when a key of the group
13 is pressed, its
mark and the input selector key with the same mark in the
group of the selected memory area light up for about 3
seconds.
This feature may be helpful for you if you store functions for
controlling an input source to a group of keys whose mark
lights up when the corresponding input selector key is pressed.

Depending on your plan, store functions from other remote
controllers into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page
80 for the learning method.)
While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate
another unit by using the remote controller (for example, if
you want to rewind a videotape while listening to a CD), you
should open the cover of the remote controller and use the
A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys.
(If you press an input selector key with the cover closed to
change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to
the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently
playing CD source is canceled.)
About the lighting of keys
When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and
only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which
substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or
learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you will
know what keys are available at a glance.
Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed,
all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the
currently selected input selector key light up.

MACRO switch
The Macro feature makes it possible to operate a series of
functions by pressing just one key. For example, when you want
to play a CD, normally you would turn on the equipment, select
the CD input, and press the play key to start playback. Using the
Macro feature you can operate all those functions by simply
pressing the CD macro key. The preset macro keys (the input
selector keys and SYSTEM POWER ON/STANDBY keys with an
orange mark next to them) are preset with macro programs.
If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a
macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You
can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to
page 81 for making a new macro.)
Macros can be used only when the cover is closed and the
MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is
selected, no macro will function even if the cover is closed.)
Setting the MACRO switch
OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the

Function of the key carried out when a macro key is pressed
The Macro feature allows you to operate several remote control functions in a programmed order by pressing one macro key.
(Also, refer to the table on page 74.)
Notes
A key in which no function is stored will carry out no
command.
If it occurs that this unit will not receive the second command
because the internal operation of the first command takes a
long time, set the MACRO switch to the “SLOW” position.
Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the
command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit
finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take
notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the
“SLOW” position.
Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote
controller directed at the main unit’s remote control sensor
until the remote controller finishes transmitting all command
signals of the macro key.
You can also use the OPERATION CONTROL keys while
using the macro functions.

m Learning a new function
1 Place this remote controller and the other remote
controller so that they face each other.
2
* If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the
LEARN button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. Repeat
this step.
3 If necessary, select the memory area by using the A/B/C
switch on the side panel of the remote controller.
4 Press the key on this remote controller in which you will
store a new function.
* If a key which cannot learn another function is pressed, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current
mode is canceled. Repeat this step.
* If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after a key is
pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly
and the mode before you began learning operations is
restored. Restart from step 2.
5 Press and hold the key (on the other remote controller)
which has the function you want to store.
When learning is finished, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
stops lighting. You can release the key. Then the indicator
begins flashing slowly.
* If a signal is not successfully received, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode
prior to step 4 is restored. Restart from step 4.
* If memory capacity is full, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
flashes rapidly to show you that learning is impossible, and
then the mode before you began learning operations is
restored.
6 Repeat steps 3–5 to store more functions.
7 When you finish the learning operation, press the
LEARN button.
Notes
Newly learned functions will replace previously learned
functions.
If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to
be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash
rapidly. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied
with functions from other remote controllers, no further
learning is possible.
If you close the cover while learning, and then about 5
seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes
rapidly and the mode before beginning learning operations
is restored. Restart from step 2. However, if you open the
cover within 5 seconds, the mode before closing the cover is
restored.
There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the
signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote
controller, this remote controller will not be able to “learn” its
signals.
When you press the LEARN, MACRO or CLEAR button, or
the RESET button inside of the battery compartment by
using a sharp-pointed thing, be careful not to damage the
button. If you will use a mechanical pencil, make sure that
the lead is retracted.

Methods of learning and clearing functions
m Making a new macro
A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of the factory preset functions. (See page 78 to know what
keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of
other keys.
Note
If you store a continuous function such as lowering the volume level, it may not work well when carried out as a part of macro.

REMOTE CONTROLLER
1
* If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the
MACRO button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN
indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you pressed
the MACRO button is restored. Press the MACRO button
again.
2 Press a preset macro key on which you want to make a
new macro.
* If a key other than a preset macro key is pressed, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the
current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.
3 Press a key whose function you want to store as the first
function of the new macro.
* If a key whose function cannot be stored as a command of
macro is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes
rapidly and the current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.
* If about 30 seconds pass before a key is pressed, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode
before you began learning operations is restored. Restart
from step 1.
4 Repeat step 3 to store the second, the third and more
functions. You can store up to seven key functions in
series as a macro.
* If the seventh key function has been learned, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode
before you began learning operations is restored. (This
shows that the key has completed learning a series of
functions as a macro.) You do not have to follow the next
step.
5 When you finish learning, press the MACRO button.
Notes
If, for example, you store a function whose operation takes a
long time as the first command, add a command which has
no function between the first command and the second
command, or repeat the second command again.
If you program the power on/off switching function of TV,
VCR, etc. as a part of a macro sequence, note that it
switches the current mode to the other (“on” to “off”, or “off”
to “on”).
For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of
TV, VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off even
though you may not want it to do so.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
A loud hissing noise is heard when you
play back a source encoded with DTS.
A percussive noise is heard when you
begin playing back a source encoded with
DTS.
No sound is heard when you play back a
source encoded with DTS, even though the
“AUTO” or “DTS” input mode is selected
on this unit.
No sound is heard when you play back an
MD onto which you have recorded a
source encoded with DTS.
No sound is heard when you play back a
DAT onto which you have recorded a
source encoded with DTS.
No sound is heard when you play back a
source (CD etc.) even though the currently
selected input mode is “AUTO”.
Problem
FM stereo reception is noisy.
There is distortion and clear reception
cannot be obtained even with a good
FM antenna.
A desired station cannot be tuned in
with the automatic tuning method.
Previously preset stations can no
longer be tuned in.
A desired station cannot be tuned in
with the automatic tuning method.
There are continuous crackling and
hissing noises.
There are buzzing and whining noises
(especially in the evening).
Cause
The player which plays back the source is
not connected to a digital audio signal input
terminal of this unit.
The “ANALOG” input mode is selected on
this unit.
If the “AUTO” input mode is selected,
depending on some sources, there may be a
case that a noise is heard while this unit is
identifying the format of input signal.
The DTS decoder built into this unit does not
function because the player has a digital
volume control and it is set at a position
other than “maximum”, “neutral” or
“ineffective”.
A source encoded with DTS cannot be
recorded onto an MD.
Depending on a DAT deck, a source
encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto
a DAT.
In the “AUTO” mode, DTS-decoding mode
cannot be changed to the normal (PCM)
digital signal input mode automatically.
Cause
Because of the characteristics of FM stereo
broadcasts, this is limited to cases where
the transmitter is too far away or the
antenna input is poor.
There is multipath interference.
The station is too weak.
This unit has been unplugged for a long
period.
Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Noises result from lightning, fluorescent
lamps, motors, thermostats and other
electrical equipment.
A television set is being used nearby.
What to Do
The player must be connected to a digital
audio signal input terminal of this unit besides
analog audio signal terminal connections.
Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn
on the DTS decoder built into this unit.
Set the input mode of the currently selected
input source to “DTS”.
Set the player’s digital volume control at the
maximum, neutral or ineffective position.
Press the INPUT MODE button on the front
panel or the input selector button (for the
currently selected source) on the remote
controller so that “PCM” appears on the
display.
What to Do
Check the antenna connections.
Try using a high quality directional FM
antenna.
Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual
tuning mode.
Adjust antenna placement to eliminate
multipath interference.
Use the manual tuning method.
Use a high quality directional FM antenna.
Repeat the presetting procedure.
Tighten the AM loop antenna connections
and rotate it for best reception.
Use the manual tuning method.
Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire.
This will help somewhat but it is difficult to
eliminate all the noises.
Relocate this unit away from the TV.
When playing back a source encoded with DTS:
Tuner
Notes
It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back a source must be
connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a
D-to-A converter is used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard.
If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with DTS, the “dts” indicator goes out from the
display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the standard (PCM) digital signal input mode
to prevent a noise from being output.
A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a
source encoded with DTS cannot be played back.
The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback).

Introduction Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV receiver available. Some of the more advanced features may not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in theaters around the world. To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater. Digital Sound Field Processing Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created using data measured directly at the original venue; others are created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Of course, that only solves half of the problem. These engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your listening room, so we’ve made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following surround sound technologies. Some are designed especially for music, and some especially for movies. Dolby Pro Logic Surround Dolby Surround has been used in movie theaters since the mid-seventies. It has also been available in home entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular format for home theater systems. It 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 rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. 4 Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround 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. INTRODUCTION Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound system developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate audio coding. 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. Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system (left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels. Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, and moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2 channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2 channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby Digital in the market. English Dolby Digital Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “AC-3”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Digital theater sound in your home. Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full range channels and precise sound orientation by the digital sound processing presents listeners much excitement and realism that has never been experienced before. DTS Digital Surround DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is 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. The DTS technology, through intense research and development, made it possible to deliver a similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surroundsound entertainment. The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically 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 By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS installed theater’s high quality sound in your home. Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD are home audio format within which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting new multi-channel music recordings will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the six channels of 20-bit audio onto some laserdiscs, compact discs and DVDs with considerably less data-compression. 5 INTRODUCTION CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater. However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround sounds. CINEMA DSP The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround or DTS. Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 Digital Sound Fields Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surrounddecoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the room, letting you feel much presence as if you were watching a movie in a popular Dolby Surround theater. Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and much surround effect in the room without losing high channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This is the most ideal home theater sound at the present time. This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of the source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channels. This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS. 6 Getting started English GETTING STARTED Unpacking Carefully remove this unit and accessories from the box.

English PREPARATION Speaker setup m Setting up your speaker system This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a seven-speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to the full seven-speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still performed, but the main speakers are used for both the main channels and the front effect channels. Use of the center dialog speaker is recommended If, for some reason, it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is possible to enjoy the movie without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing signals at the subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier. When playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or playing back a source which contains center-channel signals with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance of your Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended that you use a center channel speaker. m Speakers and speaker placement Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a SUBWOOFER. The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models and have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. 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 in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONT EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS. Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the ordinary position. Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.5–1m behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair. Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly 1.8m above the floor. Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.) If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

PREPARATION The speaker connections described on page 21 are fine for most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with your existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit. COUPLER MAIN PRE MAIN OUT IN CENTER OUTPUT FRONT 3 1 REAR ( SURROUND ) 4 2 34 MAIN PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals FRONT terminals These terminals are for front effect channel line output. If you drive front effect speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. 5 The PRE OUT terminals are for main channel line output, and the MAIN IN terminals are for line input to the built-in main channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals must be connected with jumper bars when the built-in amplifier is used. However, if you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars, and then connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to the PRE OUT terminals. No connection is needed to the MAIN IN terminals. * Output signals from the PRE OUT terminals are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls and BASS EXTENSION button and the TONE BYPASS button. 2 CENTER terminal This terminal is for center channel line output. If you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal. There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier. SUB WOOFER 1 English m To drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with external amplifiers 5 REAR (SURROUND) terminals These terminals are for rear channel line output. If you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. Notes • Output level of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote controller. • If an external power amplifier is connected to the CENTER, FRONT or REAR output terminals, do not use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals (CENTER, FRONT or REAR). SUBWOOFER terminal When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to this terminal. Low frequencies distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels are output from this terminal. (The cut-off frequency of this terminal is 90 Hz.) Signals of LFE (low frequency effect) generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also output if they are assigned to this terminal. 23 PREPARATION Antennas ● ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, as shown in the following figure. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality only with the indoor antennas, the use of an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

FM ANT terminal. GND terminal For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good ground. A good ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth. English m Connecting the indoor FM antenna Note Do not use an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM antenna at the same time. m Optional outdoor AM antenna If this unit is placed in steel buildings or an area far from broadcasting stations, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna. m Optional outdoor FM antenna Consult your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the flat ribbon cable is also important. Flat ribbon cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as flat ribbon cable. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with this type of cable. * Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a 75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections. 300-ohm flat ribbon cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 75-ohm coaxial cable 300-ohm flat ribbon cable 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm antenna adapter Notes for FM antenna installation ● To minimize the influence of automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible. ● Keep the flat ribbon cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up an excess of the cable. ● The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures. 25 PREPARATION Plugging in this unit • After completing all connections, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet. • Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if this unit is not to be used for a long period of time.

BASIC OPERATION ● ● ● Dolby Digital RF audio input signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR. To record an LD source, the LD player must be connected to the OPTICAL digital audio signal input terminal and/or analog audio signal input terminals of this unit. A source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit cannot be recorded. Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material may infringe on copyright laws. English Notes on recording ● The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls, the BASS EXTENSION button and the settings of DSP have no effect on the material being recorded. ● Composite video and S video signals pass independently through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source unit is connected to provide only a S video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only a S video (or only a composite video) signal on your VCR. ● A source that is connected to this unit between optical digital terminals only cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR other than the tape deck (or MD recorder etc.) connected to the OPTICAL TAPE/MD OUT terminal of this unit. If you play back a video source that uses scramble or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, there may be a case that display information superimposed on the picture and/or the picture itself is disturbed due to those signals.

BASIC OPERATION When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY”, “RT” and/or “CT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light up on the display. By pressing the RDS MODE button once or more, you can change the display mode among the RDS modes employed by the received station in the order shown below. (The RDS mode not employed by the station cannot be selected.) Illumination of the indicator on the head of the name of an RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now selected. * When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE button until one or more names of RDS modes light up on the display. If the button is pressed before one or more names light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet. * If no name of RDS mode lights up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. PS mode The name of the station being received is displayed. If the station does not employ the PS data service, this mode will not be selected. PTY mode The type of the program currently broadcasted on the station is displayed. If the station does not employ the PTY data service, this mode will not be selected. (You can make this unit search for a station which is broadcasting a program of your desired program type. For details, refer to the next page.) RT mode Information about the program currently broadcasted on the station is displayed. Information is displayed by a maximum of 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign. If other characters are used on the RT data, they are replaced by under-bars and displayed. If the station does not employ the RT data service, this mode will not be selected. CT mode Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data from the station being received changes every minute. RDS MODE Hour English m Changing the RDS modes Minute If the reception of data is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may light up. If the station does not employ the CT data service, this mode will not be selected. Notes • RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode) needs sufficient data to be received, so the RT mode may not display even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed. • RDS data reception may not be possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the TUNING MODE button so that the “AUTO” indicator goes off from the display. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed. • If the signal strength becomes weakened by external interference when receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will light up on the display. 49 BASIC OPERATION Selecting your desired program type from among preset RDS stations (PTY SEEK) By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset stations for an RDS station which broadcasts a program of that program type. * There are 15 program types for classifying RDS stations.

When the input signal is analog or PCM audio: ( ) DSP When the input signal is encoded with the Dolby Digital (not in 2 channels): ( When the input signal is encoded with the DTS: ( ) DSP No. 8 9 PROGRAM CONCERT VIDEO TV THEATER SUBPROGRAM (TYPE) DIGITAL DSP ) FEATURE Classical/Opera Provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining excessive reverberation. For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an opera. Pop/Rock Produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that you are in the midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert. The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded. Mono Movie This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.). Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a pleasant mix of conversations and picture. Variety/Sports Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as the news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the surround side, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly restrained. 59 BASIC OPERATION ● Program No. 10 to 11 are suitable for reproducing video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are encoded with Dolby Surround (bearing the “DOLBY SURROUND” or “DOLBY DIGITAL” logo) or encoded with DTS (bearing the “dts” logo). No. 10 PROGRAM MOVIE THEATER 1 SUBPROGRAM (TYPE) 70 mm Spectacle DSP ( PRO LOGIC ) Functions when the input signal is analog or PCM audio or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2 channels.

DTS General DSP ( ) Functions when the input signal is encoded with DTS. 60 Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The data of the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence side, so the three dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data of the sound field of a concert hall on the rear surround side, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with much presence. This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track film, and characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround side, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field. BASIC OPERATION Program No. 12 is for reproducing video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are encoded with Dolby Surround (bearing the “DOLBY SURROUND” or “DOLBY DIGITAL” logo) or encoded with DTS (bearing the “dts” logo). No. 12 PROGRAM /DTS SURROUND SUBPROGRAM (TYPE) FEATURE PRO LOGIC/Normal ( ) Functions when the input signal is analog or PCM audio or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2 channels. The built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, the Dolby Digital decoder or the DTS decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects of a source encoded with Dolby Surround or DTS. The realization of a highly efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound positioning smoother and more precise.

SPEAKER SET (Selecting the output modes suitable for your speaker system) Refer to pages 28 to 30 for details. (Once you have selected proper modes, you do not have to make a setting change, unless your speaker system is modified.) 2. DLBY DGTL (DOLBY DIGITAL) SET Adjusting method After selecting the title “2. DLBY DGTL SET” in step 2 on page 62, press the + or – key to display the title “2A. LFE LEVEL”. To select the title “2B. D-RANGE”, press the key.) Then make a key. (To select the title “2A. LFE LEVEL” again, press the setting change or adjustment with the + or – key. 2A. LFE LEVEL [Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel] ● Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB Preset value: 0 dB ● This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contain LFE signals. Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signals to other signals can be adjusted. (Refer to page 5 for details about the LFE channel.) 2B. D-RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range) ● Choices: MAX/STD/MIN Preset position: MAX ● This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is decoded. “Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data of sound. MAX: In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater. Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment. STD (Standard): In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening. MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source in an extremely low level. * In this position, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position. 63 ADVANCED FEATURES 3. DTS SET Adjusting method After selecting the title “3. DTS SET” in step 2 on page 62, press the + or – key to display the title “3A. LFE LEVEL”. Then adjust its level with the + or – key. 3A. LFE LEVEL [Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel] ● Control range: –10 dB to 10 dB Preset value: 0 dB ● This adjustment is effective only when DTS is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with DTS contain LFE signals. Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signals to other signals can be adjusted. (Refer to page 5 for details about the LFE channel.) 4. CENTER DELAY [Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.)] ● Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step) Preset value: 0 ms ● This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS contain center channel signals. Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel). The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated. In your audio system, the distance from the center speaker to your listening position may be shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position. In that case, sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers can reach your listening position at the same time by delaying the sound from the center speaker. 5. PARAMETER INI (Initializing parameters on a DSP program) You can initialize all parameter settings on a DSP program. Note that a DSP program has two or three subprograms; all parameters on both subprograms are initialized by this operation.

DIMMER (Changing brightness of the display panel) You can adjust the brightness of the display panel in five degree increments. 65 ADVANCED FEATURES Creating your own sound fields What is a sound field? In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, we need to first understand what a sound field really is. What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting. We can even tell whether it is highly reflective with steel and glass surfaces, or more absorbent with wood panels, carpeting and curtains. The elements of a sound field In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field: (1) Early Reflections. Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms — 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only—for example, from the ceiling or a wall. These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown in the diagram on page 68 for any particular environment, and provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound. (2) Reverberations. These are caused by reflections from more than one surface—walls, ceiling, the back of the room—so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the clarity of the direct sound. Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this information that the DSP reproduces in order to create sound fields. If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what Yamaha has done with the DSP. 66 DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing values of parameters, however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust those parameters. Even if the power cord of this unit is disconnected from the AC outlet, your custom sound fields will remain in the DSP’s memory for about two weeks. The following page details how to make your own sound fields. In addition to the “TYPE” parameter which selects the subprograms within each DSP program (for example, “Europe Hall A”, and “Europe Hall B” for the program 1. “CONCERT HALL 1”), each program also has a set of parameters that allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to precisely create the effect you want. These parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for example, affects the length of time between the “early reflections”—that is, the first few widely spaced reflections you hear after the direct sound. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the “room” you hear. In addition to room size, the shape of the room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out quicker, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a longer period of time. The DSP parameters allow you to control these and many other factors that contribute to your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially “redesign” the concert halls, theaters, etc. provided to create custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your mood and music. Refer to “Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters” on pages 68 to 70 for a description of what each parameter does, how it effects the sound, and its control range. ADVANCED FEATURES English m Selecting and editing program parameters This adjustment can be made only by using the remote controller and watching the monitor screen or the display panel.

(On the monitor screen, the mark at the head of the parameter name will disappear upon reaching the initial set value of the parameter.) * Notes ● For details about parameters, refer to pages 68 to 70. ● Parameter edits made in this way will remain in effect even if power is lost due to a power failure or the power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet for about two weeks, after which all parameters, as well as other adjustments or setting changes on this unit, will return to their initial values or conditions. 67 ADVANCED FEATURES m Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ● ROOM SIZE P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size) How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound. Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound source. What it Does: Adjusts the timing between the early reflections. Early reflections are the first group of reflections you hear before the subsequent, dense reverberation begins. S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size) Adjusts the apparent space size of the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. Control Range: 0.1 – 2.0 Standard setting is 1.0. Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all doubled). Level Level Direct sound Level Direct sound Direct sound Early reflections Early reflections Early reflections Large Small Time Time Time Small space Large space ● INIT. DLY (Initial Delay) P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay) How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent distance from the source sound. Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective surface determines the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the sound source within the acoustic environment. Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. Control Range: 1 – 99 milliseconds What it Does: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay) Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. Control Range: 1 – 99 milliseconds For a small living room this parameter would be set for a small value. Large values for a big room. Larger values produce an echo effect. Level Level Control Range: 1 – 49 milliseconds Direct sound Early reflections Small INIT. DLY 68 Time Level Large INIT. DLY Time INIT. DLY Time ADVANCED FEATURES LIVENESS (Presence Liveness) How it Affects the Sound: This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall. English ● LIVENESS Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front presence sound field becomes. The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity (decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the early reflections decay slowly is termed “live”, while a room with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay rapidly is termed “dead”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room. S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness) Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the rear surround sound field becomes. What it Does: Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay. Control Range: 0 – 10. Level Level Small Large Time Dead Level Direct sound Time Live Time ● REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) How it Affects the Sound: Control Range: The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. 1.0 – 5.0 seconds. The reverb time in a small-to-medium size hall would be between 1 and 2, and in a large hall it is normally between 2 and 3. What it Does: Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (1 kHz). Level Level 60 dB Direct sound Level Early reflections Small 60 dB Time REV. TIME Reverberations Large 60 dB Time REV. TIME Reverberations REV. TIME Time Reverberations 69 ADVANCED FEATURES ● REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level) This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes. Control Range: 0 – 100% Level Direct sound REV. LEVEL Time ● S. DELAY (Surround Delay) Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side sound field. The larger the value, the later the surround sound field is generated. Control Range: When Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded: 15 – 30 milliseconds When Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded: 0 – 15 milliseconds When a program without Dolby Surround or DTS encoded is used: 15 – 49 milliseconds 70 ADVANCED FEATURES English Setting the SLEEP timer Use the built-in SLEEP timer to automatically turn this unit into the standby mode after the time you set elapses.

Refer to those components’ instruction manuals for details. 73 REMOTE CONTROLLER Using the “learning-capable” keys (Cover is open) This is a learning remote controller. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to “learn” control functions from other remote controllers. This unit can be used in place of other remote controllers by learning their functions. It will be much convenient for you to operate various audio and video components. Some of the “learning-capable” keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired. * See page 80 for the learning method. * See page 82 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions). Note If the memory capacity of the remote controller becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote controller, up to about 50 functions can be stored. Therefore, we recommend that only required functions be stored. Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4) In the “Learning-capable” keys, the keys numbered 1–4 in the illustration on the left can have three functions. This is because they have three memory areas (A, B and C). (One function per area.) You can store new functions into the area B and C, and use three functions on a key by switching the memory areas with the A/B/C switch. (Area A cannot learn a new function.)

REMOTE CONTROLLER About the lighting of keys When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3 seconds. English Notes • Area A cannot learn a new function. To store a new function, store it onto area B or C. • If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the preset function will not work but is not deleted. When the learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored. (For information on clearing a learned function, refer to page 82.) When an input selector key in the group of selected memory area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of a key group (1–3) which is the same as the mark of the selected input selector key lights up for about 3 seconds. Example: Empty keys (1, 2) These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from another remote controller. For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of your TV’s power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your VCR’s power switch. Lights up.

Notes • If an OPERATION CONTROL key is substituted for a key which has no function (empty), then a command will not be carried out. Depending on your plan, store functions from other remote controllers into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page 80 for the learning method.) • While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote controller (for example, if you want to rewind a videotape while listening to a CD), you should open the cover of the remote controller and use the A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys. (If you press an input selector key with the cover closed to change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently playing CD source is canceled.) About the lighting of keys When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you will know what keys are available at a glance. OPERATION CONTROL TUNER Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed, all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the currently selected input selector key light up. 77 REMOTE CONTROLLER Macro operations (Cover is closed) The Macro feature makes it possible to operate a series of functions by pressing just one key. For example, when you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the equipment, select the CD input, and press the play key to start playback. Using the Macro feature you can operate all those functions by simply pressing the CD macro key. The preset macro keys (the input selector keys and SYSTEM POWER ON/STANDBY keys with an orange mark next to them) are preset with macro programs. If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to page 81 for making a new macro.) Macros can be used only when the cover is closed and the MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is selected, no macro will function even if the cover is closed.) Setting the MACRO switch OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the cover of the remote controller is closed. QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals. SLOW: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 3 second intervals.

Restart from step 2. However, if you open the cover within 5 seconds, the mode before closing the cover is restored. ● There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote controller, this remote controller will not be able to “learn” its signals. ● When you press the LEARN, MACRO or CLEAR button, or the RESET button inside of the battery compartment by using a sharp-pointed thing, be careful not to damage the button. If you will use a mechanical pencil, make sure that the lead is retracted. REMOTE CONTROLLER English m Making a new macro A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of the factory preset functions. (See page 78 to know what keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other keys. Note If you store a continuous function such as lowering the volume level, it may not work well when carried out as a part of macro. 1 4 TRANSMIT /LEARN CLEAR LEARN MACRO Flashes slowly. * If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the MACRO button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you pressed the MACRO button is restored.

English TROUBLESHOOTING General Problem Cause What to Do The unit fails to turn on when the STANDBY/ON switch is pressed, or turns into the standby mode suddenly soon after the power is turned on. Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely inserted. Firmly plug in the power cord. The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is not set to either end. Set the switch to either end when this unit is in the standby mode. This unit does not work normally. There is an influence of strong external noise (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or a misoperation on this unit while using this unit. Turn this unit into the standby mode and disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. After about 30 seconds have passed, connect the power and operate this unit again. No sound or no picture. Incorrect output cord connections. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Appropriate input source is not selected. Select the appropriate input source with the INPUT SELECTOR or the EXT. DECODER button. Speaker connections are not secure. Secure the connections. Digital signals other than PCM audio and Dolby Digital (or DTS) encoded signals which this unit cannot reproduce are input to this unit by playing a CD-ROM etc. Play a source whose signals this unit can reproduce. No picture There is no S video terminal connection between this unit and the TV, though S video signals are input to this unit. Connect this unit’s S VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal to the TV’s S video input terminal. The sound suddenly goes off. The protection circuit has been activated because of short circuit etc. Turn this unit into the standby mode, and then turn on to reset the protection circuit. The SLEEP timer came on. Cancel the SLEEP timer function. Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control. Adjust it to the appropriate position. Incorrect cord connections. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. The EFFECT button is set off. Press the EFFECT button to turn it on. A Dolby Surround (or DTS) decoding program is being used with material not encoded with Dolby Surround (or DTS). Use a different sound field program. The function “1E. SYS. SETUP” in the SET MENU mode is set to the “5ch” position. Set to the “7ch” position. PRO LOGIC/Normal, DOLBY DIGITAL/ Normal or DTS DIGITAL SUR./Normal of the DSP program No. 12 is selected. Select another program (or subprogram). The function “1A. CENTER SP” in the SET MENU mode is set to the “NONE” position. Select the appropriate position. One of the DSP programs No. 1 to No. 7 is selected when the input signal of source is 2-channel stereo (analog/PCM). Select another program. The input signals of source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS do not have center channel signals. Refer to the instructions for the source currently played. The function “1D. LFE/BASS OUT” in the SET MENU mode is set in the SW or BOTH position, though your system does not include a subwoofer. Select the MAIN position. Output mode selection for each channel (MAIN, CENTER or REAR) is improper. Make output mode selections suitable for your speaker system. Incorrect cord connections. Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. No connection from the turntable to the GND terminal. Make the GND connection between the turntable and this unit. The volume level is low while playing a record. The record is being played on a turntable with an MC cartridge. The player should be connected to the unit through the MC head amplifier. The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted. The component connected to the TAPE/MD OUT terminals of this unit is turned off. Turn on the power to the component. Only one side speaker outputs the sound. No sound from the effect speakers. No sound from the front effect speakers. No sound from the center speaker. Poor bass reproduction. Sound “hums”. 83 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause What to Do DSP parameters and some other settings on this unit cannot be changed. The function “6. MEMORY GUARD” in the SET MENU mode is set to the “ON” position. Set to the “OFF” position. “INPUT DATA ERR” appears on the display and no sound is heard. A nonstandardized source is played back, or the unit playing back a source is misoperating. Check the source, or turn off the unit playing back the source and then turn on again. The sound field cannot be recorded. It is not possible to record the sound field on a tape deck connected to this unit’s TAPE/MD OUT terminals. This unit does not operate properly. The internal microcomputer has been frozen by an external electric shock (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or power supply with low voltage. Unplug the AC power cord from the wall AC outlet, and then plug in again after about one minute. A source cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit. The source unit is connected to this unit between digital terminals only. Make additional connection between analog terminals. Noise from nearby TV or tuner. This unit is too close to the affected equipment. Move the unit further away from the affected equipment. The sound is degraded when listening with the headphones connected to the compact disc player or tape deck that is connected with this unit. This unit is in the standby mode. Turn the power to this unit on. Remote controller Problem The remote controller does not work. The remote controller does not function properly. Learning cannot be made successfully. (The TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator does not light up or flash.) Continuous functions such as volume are learned, but operate only for a moment before stopping. 84 Cause What to Do The batteries of this remote controller are weak. Replace the batteries with new ones and press the RESET button on the remote controller. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Press the RESET button on the remote controller. Wrong distance or angle. The remote controller will function from a maximum range of 6 meters, no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit. Change position of the main unit. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Press the RESET button on the remote controller. The batteries of this remote controller and/or the other remote controller are weak. Replace the batteries (and press the RESET button for this remote controller). The distance between the two remote controllers is too far or short. Place the remote controllers at the proper distance. The signal coding or modulation of the other remote controller is not compatible with this remote controller. Learning is not possible. Memory capacity is full. Further learning is not possible without deleting unnecessary commands. The internal microcomputer “freezes”. Press the RESET button on the remote controller. Learning process incomplete. Be sure to press and hold the function key on the other remote controller until the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator begins flashing slowly. TROUBLESHOOTING Cause What to Do FM stereo reception is noisy. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual tuning mode. There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. There is multipath interference. Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath interference. A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. The station is too weak. Use the manual tuning method. Use a high quality directional FM antenna. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. This unit has been unplugged for a long period. Repeat the presetting procedure. A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. Weak signal or loose antenna connections. Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. Noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all the noises. There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening). A television set is being used nearby. Relocate this unit away from the TV. FM Problem English Tuner AM Use the manual tuning method. When playing back a source encoded with DTS: Problem Cause What to Do The player which plays back the source is not connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit. The player must be connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit besides analog audio signal terminal connections. The “ANALOG” input mode is selected on this unit. Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn on the DTS decoder built into this unit. A percussive noise is heard when you begin playing back a source encoded with DTS. If the “AUTO” input mode is selected, depending on some sources, there may be a case that a noise is heard while this unit is identifying the format of input signal. Set the input mode of the currently selected input source to “DTS”. No sound is heard when you play back a source encoded with DTS, even though the “AUTO” or “DTS” input mode is selected on this unit. The DTS decoder built into this unit does not function because the player has a digital volume control and it is set at a position other than “maximum”, “neutral” or “ineffective”. Set the player’s digital volume control at the maximum, neutral or ineffective position. No sound is heard when you play back an MD onto which you have recorded a source encoded with DTS. A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto an MD. No sound is heard when you play back a DAT onto which you have recorded a source encoded with DTS. Depending on a DAT deck, a source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto a DAT. No sound is heard when you play back a source (CD etc.) even though the currently selected input mode is “AUTO”. In the “AUTO” mode, DTS-decoding mode cannot be changed to the normal (PCM) digital signal input mode automatically. A loud hissing noise is heard when you play back a source encoded with DTS. Press the INPUT MODE button on the front panel or the input selector button (for the currently selected source) on the remote controller so that “PCM” appears on the display. Notes • It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back a source must be connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter is used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard. • If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with DTS, the “dts” indicator goes out from the display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the standard (PCM) digital signal input mode to prevent a noise from being output. • A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a source encoded with DTS cannot be played back. The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback). 85 SPECIFICATIONS AUDIO SECTION Minimum RMS Output Power Per Channel (When both channels are driven) MAIN L/R (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.02% THD, 8 ohms) ....................... 100W+100W CENTER (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.02% THD, 8 ohms) ................................... 100W REAR L/R (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.02% THD, 8 ohms) .........................100W+100W FRONT L/R (1 kHz, 0.05% THD, 8 ohms) ....................................................25W+25W Maximum Power [China and General models only] 1 kHz, 10% THD, 8 ohms (When both channels are driven) MAIN L/R ................................135W+135W CENTER.............................................135W REAR L/R ...............................135W+135W FRONT L/R.................................35W+35W Dynamic Power Per Channel (by IHF Dynamic Headroom Measuring Method) [U.S.A., Canada, China and General models only] MAIN L/R (8 ohms/6 ohms/4 ohms/2 ohms) (When both channels are driven) ...............................140W/170W/220W/320W Dynamic Headroom [U.S.A., Canada, China and General models only] MAIN L/R (8 ohms) .......................... 1.46 dB DIN Standard Output Power Per Channel [Europe and Singapore models only] MAIN L/R (1 kHz, 0.7% THD, 4 ohms) (When both channels are driven) ..... 160W IEC Power [Europe and Singapore models only] MAIN L/R (1 kHz, 0.015% THD, 8 ohms) (When both channels are driven)........ 115W Power Band Width (20 Hz to 20 kHz) 8 ohms, 50W, 0.08% THD (When both channels are driven) ...........................................10 Hz to 50 kHz Damping Factor MAIN L/R (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 8 ohms) ..............................................
