Installing Batteries in the Remote
Control
1 Open the battery compartment cover.
2 Insert three supplied batteries (LR6) in the
correct direction by aligning the + and –
marks on the batteries with the polarity
markings (+ and –) on the inside of the
battery compartment.
3 After new batteries are correctly inserted,
press the RESET button in the battery
compartment using a ball point pen or
similar object. (This does not clear the
contents of the memory.)
4 Replace the cover as pressing until it snaps
into place.
Notes on batteries
Change all of the batteries if you notice the condition
like; the operating range of the remote control
decreases, the indicator does not flash or its light
becomes dim.
Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline
and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging
carefully as these different types of batteries may have
the same shape and color.
If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them
immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or
letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean
the battery compartment thoroughly before installing
new batteries.
If the remote control is without batteries for more than
3 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the
remote control, the contents of the memory may be
cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert new
batteries, set up the manufacturer code and program
any acquired functions that may have been cleared.

SPEAKER SETUP
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound-
field quality with an 8-speaker system, using left and right
main speakers, left and right rear speakers, left and right
front effect speakers and a center and rear center
speakers. If you use different brands of speakers (with
different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a
moving human voice and other types of sound may not
shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers
from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same
tonal quality.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers
from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are
used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center
speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The
front effect speakers are used for the effect sound. If for
some reason it is not practical to use one of speakers (for
example, a center speaker), you can do without it. Best
results, however, are obtained with the full system.
The main speakers should be high-performance models
and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system. The other
speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For
precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use the
models of equivalent performance with the main
speakers.
PREPARATION
Use of a subwoofer expands your
sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from
any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE
(low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when
the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back.
The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.
CAUTION
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with a monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.

SPEAKER SETUP
Rear center speaker
Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left
and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor
as the rear speakers.
Front effect speakers
Place the front effect speakers about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 feet)
outside the main speakers and in front of the room, facing
slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because
low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better
to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it
slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall
reflections.
Main speakers
Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the
same.
Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front
face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to
the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the
monitor and centrally between the main speakers.
Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the
floor.
Speaker Placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Main speaker (L)
1.8 m (6 feet)

Connecting the Speakers
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), + (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
CAUTION
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers
in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.
Speaker cables
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One of the cables is colored or
shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.
1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8) of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals
1 Unscrew the knob.
2 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
3 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
y
(For General and China models)
Banana plug connections are also possible. First, tighten the
knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of
the corresponding terminal.

About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks.
VIDEO jacks transmit composite
signals.
S VIDEO jacks transmit S-video
signals.
S-video signals are separated into
luminance (Y) and color (C) video
signals to achieve high-quality
color reproduction.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
transmit component signals.
Component signals are separated
into luminance (Y) and color
difference (P
B , PR) to provide the
best quality in picture
reproduction.
The signal input through these jacks are output through
the MONITOR OUT jacks of the same type.
Make sure to connect the correct jacks of the same type
on your video component and the video monitor.

About the dust protection cap
Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect
the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you
are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back
in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.
Notes
DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are
independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL
OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.
The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard.
If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this
standard, this unit may not function properly.
Connecting a turntable
PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM
or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with
a low-output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting
transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to
these jacks.
y
Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in
the signal. However you may hear less noise without the
connection to the GND terminal for some record players.

CONNECTIONS
Connecting to an External
Amplifier
If you want to increase the power output to the speakers,
or want to use another amplifier, connect an external
amplifier to the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks as follows.
Notes
When RCA pin plugs are connected to the PRE OUT/MAIN
IN jacks for output to an external amplifier, it is not necessary
to use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals. Set the volume
of the amplifier connected to this unit to the maximum.
No signals will be output from any other PRE OUT jacks than
the MAIN jacks when SPEAKER A is turned off with ZONE B
selected for 1H SP B SET on the SET MENU.
1 FRONT EFFECT jacks
Front effect channel line output jacks.
2 REAR (SURROUND) jacks
Rear channel line output jacks.
3 SUBWOOFER jacks
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including
the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System, connect the input jack of the subwoofer system
to this jack. Low bass signals distributed from the main,
center and/or rear channels are directed to this jack if they
are assigned to this jack. (The cut-off frequency of this
jack is 90 Hz.) The LFE (low-frequency effect) signals
generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also
directed if they are assigned to this jack.
Notes
Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on
the subwoofer. It is also possible to adjust the volume level by
using the remote control of this unit (see ADJUSTING THE
LEVEL OF THE EFFECT SPEAKERS on page 67).
Depending on the settings of 1 SPEAKER SET and 10 LFE
LEVEL on the SET MENU, some signals may not be output
from the SUBWOOFER jack.
Connecting to the 6CH INPUT
Jacks
This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left
and right MAIN, CENTER, left and right SURROUND
and SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from
an external decoder, sound processor or pre-amplifier.
Connect the output jacks on your external decoder to the
6CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right
outputs to the left and right input jacks for the main and
surround channels.
Notes
When 6CH INPUT is selected, the signals input to the 6CH
INPUT jacks have priority over any other input source.
When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, this unit
automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and
you cannot listen to DSP programs.
When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, settings of
1 SPEAKER SET (1A to 1E) on the SET MENU do not
apply.
When headphones are used, only main L/R channels are
output. The setting for 6CH INPUT SET on the SET MENU
will not be applied.
Setting for 15 6CH INPUT SET on the SET MENU will be
applied when 6CH INPUT is selected.

Input Modes and Indications
This unit comes with various input jacks. You can set the
priority of the input signal among different types of input
signals.
Press (INPUT) MODE (the input selector
button that you have pressed to select the
input source on the remote control)
repeatedly until the desired input mode is
shown on the front panel display and on the
video monitor.
AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is
automatically selected in the following
order:
1) Digital signal
2) Analog signal
DTS: In this mode, only the digital input signal
encoded with DTS is selected even if
another signal is input at the same time.
ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal is
selected even if a digital signal is input at
the same time.
Notes
If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and
OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack
has precedence over the OPTICAL jack.
In playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on
some LD or DVD players, the sound output delays for a
moment when playback resumes after a search because the
digital signal is selected again.
When playing the LD source that has not been digitally
recorded, the sound may not be output for some LD players. In
this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.
y
When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the
type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS
signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate
setting.
When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set
according to 8 INPUT MODE on the SET MENU (see page
63 for details).

Notes on the digital signal
The digital input jacks of this unit can handle up to a
96 kHz sampling digital signal. However when inputting
a higher digital signal than 48 kHz, be aware of the
following points.
Sound effect will be added to the signals after converting the
sampling frequency to 48 kHz or below.
When the sound effect is turned off by pressing STEREO/
EFFECT, this unit reproduces sound in 2-channel stereo at the
sampling frequency of the input signal.
Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs
If the digital output data of the player has been
processed in any way, you may not be able to perform
DTS decoding even if you make a digital connection
between this unit and the player.
If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and
set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces
the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you
want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the
source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to
AUTO or DTS.
If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while
playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit
reproduces no sound.
If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with
the input mode set to AUTO;
This unit automatically switches to the DTS-
decoding mode (The t indicator lights up.)
after having detected the DTS signal. When playback
of the DTS source is completed, the t indicator
may flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTS
source can be played. If you want to play a normal
PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.
The t indicator may flash when a search or
skip operation is performed while the DTS source is
playing back with the input mode set to AUTO. If
this status continues for longer than 30 seconds, this
unit will automatically switch from DTS-decoding
mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The t
indicator will turn off.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
Understanding Sound Fields
A sound field is defined as the characteristic sound reflections of a
particular space. In concert halls and other music venues, we hear
early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound
produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and
other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives
each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.
YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to
measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music
venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the
direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then
we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this
unit.
Hi-Fi DSP Programs
Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your
listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound
field. YAMAHAs DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.
The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the
virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.
CINEMA-DSP
Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread
even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with
the images on the screen.
CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP
integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field
programs to provide the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In
CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHAs exclusive DSP processing is added to the right and left Main and
Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources,
and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.
When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the
most suitable sound field program for that signal.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
Sound Field Effect
The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without
using matrix processing. This units MOVIE THEATER programs provide the same quality of sound and sound
localization that 6-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality
sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With this units MOVIE THEATER programs, you can recreate a
dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your listening room by using Dolby Digital or
DTS technology.
Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect
These programs use YAMAHAs tri-field DSP processing
on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front,
left surround and right surround channels. This processing
enables this unit to reproduce the immense sound field
and surround expression of a Dolby Digital- or DTS-
equipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear
separation of all channels.
Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES + DSP sound field effect
These programs provide you with the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects since an extra rear center
DSP sound field created from the rear center channel is added.
Dolby Pro Logic + DSP sound field effect
Most movie software has 4-channel (left, center, right and
surround) sound information encoded by Dolby Surround
matrix processing and stored on the left and right tracks.
These signals are processed by the Dolby Pro Logic
decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs for 2-channel
sources are designed to recreate the spaciousness and
delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the
encoding and decoding processes.
Dolby Pro Logic /DTS Neo: 6
Dolby Pro Logic and DTS Neo: 6 equipped on this unit decode the 2-channel Dolby Surround software into five or
six full range channels. They also provide two modes; MOVIE/CINEMA for movies and MUSIC for 2-channel sources.

Features
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the
sound design of the newest 70-mm and multichannel
soundtrack 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.
This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm
and multichannel soundtrack films, and is
characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The
presence sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially
spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining
the echo effect of conversations without losing
clarity.
This program ideally simulates the multi-surround
speaker systems of the 35-mm film theaters. Dolby
Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS
decoding and digital sound field processing create
precise effects without altering the original sound
orientation.
The surround effects produced by this sound field
wrap around the viewer naturally from the back to the
left and right, and toward the screen.
The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and
sound effects from sources. The highly efficient
decoding process improves crosstalk and channel
separation and makes sound positioning smoother
and more precise.
In this program, no DSP effect is applied.
To reproduce 2 channel sources decoding into
multichannels in each decoding mode.

BASIC RECORDING
REC OUT allows you to record one source while
watching and/or listening to another source.
Recording adjustments and other operations are
performed from the recording components. Refer to the
operation instructions for these components.
1 Turn on the power to this unit and all
connected components.
2 Select the source component you want to
record from by using REC OUT.
To record the current input source that you are
watching or listening to, set REC OUT to
SOURCE.
To record a source other than the one that you are
watching or listening to, set REC OUT to the
source you want to record.
Note
At this setting, you can change the source to listen to or watch
during recording by rotating INPUT (one of the input selector
buttons on the remote control).
3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)
on the source component.
4 Start recording on the recording component.
y
Setting REC OUT to SOURCE and using the BGV function
(see page 29) allows the recording of audio and video from a
different source.
Notes
Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.
When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record
between other components connected to this unit.
The setting of BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION,
VOLUME, 3 L/R BALANCE on the SET MENU and DSP
programs does not affect the recorded material.
A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit
cannot be recorded.
S-video and composite video signals pass independently
through this units video circuits. Therefore, when recording or
dubbing video signals, if your video source component is
connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite
video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a
composite video) signal by your VCR.
A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT
channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not
output on VCR 1 OUT.)
Check the copyright laws in your country to record from
records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material
may infringe copyright laws.
If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the
picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.
Special considerations when
recording DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to
digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise
being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to
record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,
the following considerations and adjustments need to be
made.
For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your
player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its
operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog
signal will be output from the player.
Timer playback/recording
This unit can perform playback or recording with an
external timer (not supplied). Refer to the operation
instruction for the component and the timer to be used.
Notes
The stored data such as input source will be reflected in the
playback or recording with the timer.
If you do not want any sound output during the recording with
a timer, turn the volume down.
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data
(input source, volume level, set menu settings and so
on) from being lost even if this unit is in the standby
mode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However if
the timer is turned off for more than one week, the
stored data will be lost.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES
The remote control can operate other A/V components of YAMAHA and other manufacturers as well as this unit. To
control those components, you must set up remote control with the manufacturer codes.
This remote control also has two sophisticated features: Learn and Macro. The Learn feature allows it to acquire
functions from the remote controls of other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with
an infrared remote control receiver. The Macro feature allows you to program a series of operations in sequence for
operation by a single button, or to use the factory-set macros to operate other YAMAHA components. These features
make it possible for you to reduce the number of remote control in your entertainment room.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES
Using the Macro Feature
The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations by pressing just one button. For example, when
you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button to
start playback. The Macro feature lets you perform all those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The
macro buttons (the input selector buttons, Å and ı buttons, SYSTEM POWER and STANDBY) are factory set with
macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see page 46).
*1 In order to turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit, connect those
components to the AC OUTLET(S) on the rear panel. (Power control may not be synchronized with this unit
depending on the component. For details, please refer to the operation instruction for the connected component.)
*2 If the macro you select includes power control functions, the component may be turned off if it is already on when
you press the macro button. For example, if your TV is on and you press the SYSTEM POWER macro button, the
TV is turned off.
*3 By factory setting, playback can be started with any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorders, CD
players, CD recorders, DVD players, and LD players. When using macros to operate other components, it is either
necessary to program the PLAY button on the control area of that component (see pages 43 and 44) or to set up a
manufacturer code (see page 42).
*4 When TUNER is selected as the input source, YAMAHA tuners receive the last station when this unit is set in the
standby mode.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES
2 Press a macro button for which you want to
program the macro operation.
The button you chose for programming the macro
operation and the selected component name appear
alternately in the display window.
Note
•“AGAIN appears in the display window when a button other
than the macro buttons is pressed.
3 Press the buttons of the functions that you
want to include in the macro operation
sequence in order.
y
You can set up to 10 steps (10 functions). After you have set 10
steps, FULL appears and the remote control automatically
exits from the macro mode.
Notes
•“NG appears in the display window when programming has
not been done correctly. In this case, start over from step 2.
If you want to change the source component, use SOURCE
SELECT k / n. When you use the input selector buttons,
selecting the input is programmed as a macro step, whereas
SOURCE SELECT k / n only changes the component.
Operating the macro
1 Set MACRO ON/OFF to ON.
2 Press a macro button.
Notes
When you have finished using the Macro feature, set MACRO
ON/OFF to OFF.
While this unit is carrying out a macro program, this unit does
not receive any other buttons function until the macro
operation has been completed (the TRANSMIT indicator stops
flashing).
Continue to aim the remote control at the component the macro
is operating until the macro operation has been completed.
Programming a macro
You can program your own macros and use the Macro
feature to transmit many remote control commands by
pressing a single button.
Notes
The factory-set macro is not cleared when a new macro is
programmed for a button. The factory-set macro can be used
again when the programmed macro is cleared.
It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the
factory-set macro. Programming a macro changes all macro
contents.
A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or
YAMAHA preset) button signals of this remote control to a
macro button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or
program a function with the remote control for your
component.
This remote control handles button signals that operate
continuously, such as volume control, as short time interval
codes. Macro programming that include these types of macro
steps are therefore not recommended.
1 Press MACRO by using a ballpoint pen or
similar object.
MCR ? appears in the display window.

About the test tone
The test tone is produced by the tone generator.
The tone generator produces a narrow-band noise
centered on a specified frequency by the band pass filter
beside a wide-band noise.
You can change this center frequency from 35 Hz through
250 Hz in one-sixth octave steps.
You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the
subwoofer level, but also for checking the low-frequency
characteristics of your listening room. Low-frequency
sounds are especially affected by the listeners position,
speaker placement, subwoofer polarity and other
conditions.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING
What Is a Sound Field?
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.
Elements of a sound field
In any environment, in addition to the direct sound
coming straight to our ears from the players instrument,
there are two distinct types of sound reflections that
combine to make up the sound field:
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. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct
sound.
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 digital sound field processor
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 digital sound field
processor.
Sound Field Program Parameters
DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine
the apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from
you to the performer, etc. In each program, these
parameters are set with values precisely calculated by
YAMAHA to create a sound field unique to the program.
It is recommended to use DSP programs without
changing the 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.
Each DSP program 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. 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 are listening. 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 more quickly, while highly
reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a
longer period of time. The digital sound field 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.

DESCRIPTIONS on pages 71 to 74.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING
4 Press k / n to select the
parameter.
5 Press /+ to change the
parameter value.
When you set the parameter to
a value other than the factory-
set value, an asterisk mark (*)
appears by the parameter name
on the video monitor.
6 Repeat steps 3 to 5 above as necessary to
change other program parameters.
Notes
The available parameters may be displayed on more than one
OSD page for some of the programs. To scroll through pages,
press k / n.
You cannot change parameter values when 14 MEMORY
GUARD on the SET MENU is set to ON. If you want to
change the parameter values, set 14 MEMORY GUARD to
OFF (see page 66).
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data
from being lost even if this unit is set in the standby
mode, the power cord is disconnected from the AC
outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to
power failure. However, if the power is cut for more
than one week, the parameter value you edited will
return to the factory setting. If so, edit the parameter
value again.
Resetting a Parameter to the
Factory-set Value
To reset some of the parameters
to the factory-set values
Select the parameter you want to reset. Then press and
hold /+ until the value temporarily stops at the factory-
set value. The asterisk mark (*) by the parameter name
disappears on the video monitor.
To reset all of the parameters to
the factory-set values
Use 9 PARAM. INI on the SET MENU to reset all of
the parameter values of all DSP programs within the
selected group to the factory-set values (see page 63).
This operation resets all of the parameter values of all
DSP programs within that group to the factory-set values.
Changing Parameter Settings
You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory-set
parameters. Although you do not have to change the
initial settings, you can change some of the parameters to
better suit the input source or your listening room.

GLOSSARY
Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording
system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects:
two left and right main channels (stereo), a center channel
for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special
sound effects (monaural). The rear channel reproduces
sound within a narrow frequency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as
well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that
gives you completely independent multi-channel audio.
With three front channels (left, center and right), and two
rear stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides five full-
range audio channels. With an additional channel
especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency
effect), the system has a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is
counted as 0.1 channel).
Using two-channel stereo for the rear speakers, more
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The
wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum
volume) reproduced by the five full-range channels and
the precise sound orientation generated using digital
sound processing provide listeners with previously
unheard of excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up
to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for
your enjoyment.
Dolby Digital Surround EX
This unit is equipped with the Dolby Digital decoder that
can reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center
channel. (The sound to be output from a rear center
speaker is created by mixing the content of rear L/R
channels.) This decoder is the most suitable to reproduce
the soundtrack for the movies recorded by Dolby Digital
Surround EX. You can enjoy dynamic and realistic sounds
by adding another channel.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is the improved technique to decode
vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This
new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback
with two left and right main channels, a center channel,
and two left and right rear channels compared with one
limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic
technology. Also the music mode is available for 2-
channel sources in addition to the movie mode.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a six-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can
enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial
representation of DTS digital surround in your home.
This system is practically distortion-free, clear 6-channel
sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, two
rear channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer,
for a total of 5.1 channels).
DTS ES (Extended Surround)
This unit is equipped with the DTS ES decoder that can
reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center
channel. The DTS ES decoder on this unit is compatible
with the two types of format: Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1.
The DTS ES Discrete decoder enables the 6.1-channel
playback by adding a rear center channel recorded
independently from the 5.1 channels. The DTS ES Matrix
decoder enables the 6.1-channel playback by adding a
rear center created from the rear L/R channels. This
decoder is the most suitable to reproduce the music or the
soundtrack of the movies recorded by DTS ES.
Neo: 6
Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6
channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables
playback with the full-range channels with higher
separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two
modes are available; Music mode for playing music
sources and Cinema mode for movies.
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1
channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz / 24 bit by
using the data for extension of a DTS signal, that is
recorded on the DTS 96/24 software.

GLOSSARY
LFE 0.1 channel
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a
low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1 channel systems.
CINEMA DSP
DIGITAL
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and
designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions,
such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and
so on, can differ so widely, its inevitable that there are
differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth
of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses
YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to
provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater
in the listening room of your own home.
SILENT CINEMA
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect
DSP algorithm for headphones.
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations of all the sound field
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.
Virtual CINEMA DSP
YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field
surround effects even without any rear speakers by using
virtual rear speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP in a
minimum two-speaker system that does not include a
center speaker.
S VIDEO signal
With S VIDEO signal system, the video signal normally
transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted
as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the
chrominance through the S VIDEO cable. Using the S
VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and
allows recording and playback of even more beautiful
images.
Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal
is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the
P
B
/C
B
and P
R
/C
R
signals for the chrominance. Color can
be reproduced more faithfully with this system because
each of these signals is independent. The component
signal is also called the color difference signal because
the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.
A monitor with component input jacks is required in
order to use the component signal for output.
PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for pulse code
modulation, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
Sampling frequency and number
of quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of
times the signal is sampled per second is called the
sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when
converting the sound level into a numeric value is called
the number of quantized bits.
The range of rates that can be played back is determined
based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range
representing the sound level difference is determined by
the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the
sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies
that can be played back, and the higher the number of
quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.
I/O assignment (SET MENU)
Although component is normally connected according to
jack names shown on the rear panel, this unit includes a
function that assigns jacks according to the component
being connected. If the component being used differs
from the component name shown for this units
component video input jacks or digital input/output jacks,
it is possible to assign jacks according to the component
being connected. This makes it possible to change the
jack assignment and effectively connect more component.

If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality. The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The front effect speakers are used for the effect sound. If for some reason it is not practical to use one of speakers (for example, a center speaker), you can do 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. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction. CAUTION Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor. The main speakers should be high-performance models and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use the models of equivalent performance with the main speakers. 10 0103DSPAZ2_10-22_EN(GB) 10 02.8.22, 0:15 PM SPEAKER SETUP Speaker Placement Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers. INTRODUCTION Front effect speaker (R) Center speaker Rear speaker (R) Front effect speaker (L) Main speaker (R) PREPARATION 1.8 m (6 feet) BASIC OPERATION Subwoofer Rear center speaker Main speaker (L) Rear speaker (L) ■ Rear center speaker Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same. Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers. ■ Center speaker ■ Rear speakers Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor. Place the front effect speakers about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 feet) outside the main speakers and in front of the room, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor. ■ Subwoofer The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections. APPENDIX Note • If you do not use any effect speakers (rear, front effect, center and/or rear center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items in the SET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor and centrally between the main speakers. ■ Front effect speakers ADVANCED OPERATION ■ Main speakers English 11 0103DSPAZ2_10-22_EN(GB) 11 02.8.22, 0:15 PM SPEAKER SETUP Connecting the Speakers Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. CAUTION • Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit. • Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers. If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers. ■ Speaker cables A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. 10 mm (3/8”) 1 2 1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from each of the speaker cables. 2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits. ■ Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals 3 Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–) 2 1 Banana plug 1 2 Unscrew the knob. 3 Tighten the knob to secure the wire. Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side of each terminal. y (For General and China models) • Banana plug connections are also possible.

The variations in the early reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special and recognizable sound quality. YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit. Hi-Fi DSP Programs Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener. CINEMA-DSP Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen. CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the right and left Main and Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen. When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound field program for that signal. L SURROUND SOUND FIELD PRESENCE SOUND FIELD DIALOG EFFECT MUSIC R SURROUND SOUND FIELD 34 0106DSPAZ2_34-39_EN(GB) 34 02.8.22, 0:16 PM DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Straight Decode This unit is equipped with various precise decoders; Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES decoder for an additional rear center channel DTS 96/24 decoder for the high quality playback of the DTS 96/24 signal at the sampling frequency 96 kHz. Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic /DTS Neo:6 decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources Select any of the STRAIGHT DECODE modes in Program 11 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced.”) to use any of these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied and the DSP indicator turns off. The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that 6-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With this unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs, you can recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your listening room by using Dolby Digital or DTS technology. These programs use YAMAHA’s tri-field DSP processing on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front, left surround and right surround channels. This processing enables this unit to reproduce the immense sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital- or DTSequipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear separation of all channels. Presence DSP sound field Right surround DSP sound field ■ Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES + DSP sound field effect These programs provide you with the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects since an extra rear center DSP sound field created from the rear center channel is added. Most movie software has 4-channel (left, center, right and surround) sound information encoded by Dolby Surround matrix processing and stored on the left and right tracks. These signals are processed by the Dolby Pro Logic decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs for 2-channel sources are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes. Presence DSP sound field Surround DSP sound field /DTS Neo: 6 Dolby Pro Logic and DTS Neo: 6 equipped on this unit decode the 2-channel Dolby Surround software into five or six full range channels. They also provide two modes; MOVIE/CINEMA for movies and MUSIC for 2-channel sources.

Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source component is connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal by your VCR. • A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on VCR 1 OUT.) • Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws. If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals. ■ Special considerations when recording DTS software The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player. ■ Timer playback/recording This unit can perform playback or recording with an external timer (not supplied). Refer to the operation instruction for the component and the timer to be used. Notes • The stored data such as input source will be reflected in the playback or recording with the timer. • If you do not want any sound output during the recording with a timer, turn the volume down. Memory back-up The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data (input source, volume level, set menu settings and so on) from being lost even if this unit is in the standby mode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However if the timer is turned off for more than one week, the stored data will be lost. 40 0107DSPAZ2_40-40_EN(GB) 40 02.8.22, 0:16 PM REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES This remote control also has two sophisticated features: Learn and Macro. The Learn feature allows it to acquire functions from the remote controls of other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with an infrared remote control receiver. The Macro feature allows you to program a series of operations in sequence for operation by a single button, or to use the factory-set macros to operate other YAMAHA components.

For example, when you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button to start playback. The Macro feature lets you perform all those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The macro buttons (the input selector buttons, Å and ı buttons, SYSTEM POWER and STANDBY) are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see page 46).

(Power control may not be synchronized with this unit depending on the component. For details, please refer to the operation instruction for the connected component.) *2 If the macro you select includes power control functions, the component may be turned off if it is already on when you press the macro button. For example, if your TV is on and you press the SYSTEM POWER macro button, the TV is turned off. *3 By factory setting, playback can be started with any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorders, CD players, CD recorders, DVD players, and LD players. When using macros to operate other components, it is either necessary to program the PLAY button on the control area of that component (see pages 43 and 44) or to set up a manufacturer code (see page 42). *4 When TUNER is selected as the input source, YAMAHA tuners receive the last station when this unit is set in the standby mode.

After you have set 10 steps, “FULL” appears and the remote control automatically exits from the macro mode. SYSTEM Notes • The factory-set macro is not cleared when a new macro is programmed for a button. The factory-set macro can be used again when the programmed macro is cleared. • It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the factory-set macro. Programming a macro changes all macro contents. • A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or YAMAHA preset) button signals of this remote control to a macro button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or program a function with the remote control for your component. • This remote control handles button signals that operate continuously, such as volume control, as short time interval codes. Macro programming that include these types of macro steps are therefore not recommended. 1 PHONO STANDBY A B V-AUX TUNER MD/TAPE CD-R CD D-TV/LD CBL/SAT VCR 1 VCR2/DVR DVD 6CH INPUT ENTER SOURCE DISPLAY SELECT POWER SEARCH REC SOUND MENU STOP – CHAPTER PAUSE + PLAY 1 2 MCR 1 : DVD a MCR 2 : DVD p indicate the number of macro steps you entered appear alternately so that you can set up the next step Notes Note • Complete each of the following steps in 30 seconds.

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. 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: 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 digital sound field processor reproduces in order to create sound fields. See “DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS” on pages 71 to 74. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 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 digital sound field processor. ADVANCED OPERATION 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. Each DSP program 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. 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 are listening. 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 more quickly, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a longer period of time. The digital sound field 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. BASIC OPERATION 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. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound. DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine the apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are set with values precisely calculated by YAMAHA to create a sound field unique to the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing the 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. PREPARATION ■ Elements of a sound field Sound Field Program Parameters INTRODUCTION What Is a Sound Field?

This operation resets all of the parameter values of all DSP programs within that group to the factory-set values. 70 0110DSPAZ2_69-74_EN(GB) 70 02.8.22, 0:17 PM DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ DSP LEVEL Function: Description: Control Range –6 dB – +3 dB This parameter adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range. Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect level relative to the direct sound. Function: Description: Control Range 1 – 99 msec This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the apparent distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, and for a large room, it would be set to a large value. PREPARATION ■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay) [P. INT. DLY for the presence sound field] INTRODUCTION You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. Source Sound BASIC OPERATION Level Level Level Early Reflections Time Time INIT.DLY Time INIT.DLY INIT.DLY Sound Source ADVANCED OPERATION Reflection Face Small value = 1 ms Large value = 99 ms ■ ROOM SIZE [P. ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field] Description: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Function: Control Range 0.1 – 2.0 Time Level Level Time Early Reflections APPENDIX Level Source Sound Time Sound Source English Small value = 0.1 Large value = 2.0 71 0110DSPAZ2_69-74_EN(GB) 71 02.8.22, 0:17 PM DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ LIVENESS Function: Description: Control Range 0 – 10 This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room. Source Sound Level Dead Level Level Live Time Time Time Sound Source Small Reflected Sound Large Reflected Sound Small value = 0 ■ S. DELAY (Surround Delay) Function: Large value = 10 Control Range 0 – 49 msec (The range depends on the signal format.) This parameter adjusts the delay for surround signals and surround sound field. ■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay) Function: This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the sound field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two rear channels are used. ■ S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size) Function: Control Range 1 – 49 msec Control Range 0.1 – 2.0 This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. ■ S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness) Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field. ■ RC INIT. DLY (Rear Center Initial Delay) Function: Control Range 0.1 – 2.0 This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the rear center sound field. ■ RC LIVENESS (Rear Center Liveness) Function: Control Range 1 – 49 msec This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the rear center sound field. ■ RC ROOM SIZE (Rear Center Room Size) Function: Control Range 0 –10 Control Range 0 – 10 This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the rear center sound field. 72 0110DSPAZ2_69-74_EN(GB) 72 02.8.22, 0:17 PM DIGITAL SOUND SOUND FIELD FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS EDITING ■ REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time for “live” sources and listening room environments. Reverberation Source Sound Reverberation Early Reflections 60 dB 60 dB 60 dB REV. TIME REV. TIME Long Reverberation Short Reverberation Large value = 5.0 s ■ REV. DELAY (Reverberation Delay) This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.

The remote control will function within a maximum range of 6 m (20 feet) and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel (see page 7). Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit. Reposition this unit. The batteries are weak. Replace the batteries. The manufacturer code has not been correctly set. Set the manufacturer code correctly (see page 42). Try to set the other codes of the same maufacturer (see page 42). The remote control does not “learn” new functions. Even if the maufacturer code is correctly set, there are some models that do not respond to the remote control. Program the necessary functions independently into the programmable buttons on this unit’s remote control using the Learn feature. The batteries of this remote control and/ or the other remote control are too weak. Replace the batteries (see page 3). The distance between the two remote controls is too much or too little. Place the remote controls at the proper distance (see page 43). The signal coding or modulation of the other remote control is not compatible with this remote control. Learning is not possible. Memory capacity is full. Further learning is not possible without deleting unnecessary functions (see page 48). 78 0111DSPAZ2_75-78_EN(GB) 78 02.8.22, 0:17 PM GLOSSARY Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two left and right main channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound effects (monaural). The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to enhance moving sound effects and directionality. Dolby Pro Logic is the improved technique to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with two left and right main channels, a center channel, and two left and right rear channels compared with one limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic technology. Also the music mode is available for 2channel sources in addition to the movie mode. ■ Dolby Digital This unit is equipped with the DTS ES decoder that can reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center channel. The DTS ES decoder on this unit is compatible with the two types of format: Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1. The DTS ES Discrete decoder enables the 6.1-channel playback by adding a rear center channel recorded independently from the 5.1 channels. The DTS ES Matrix decoder enables the 6.1-channel playback by adding a rear center created from the rear L/R channels. This decoder is the most suitable to reproduce the music or the soundtrack of the movies recorded by DTS ES. ■ Neo: 6 ■ DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1 channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz / 24 bit by using the data for extension of a DTS signal, that is recorded on the DTS 96/24 software. APPENDIX Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6 channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources and “Cinema mode” for movies. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This unit is equipped with the Dolby Digital decoder that can reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center channel. (The sound to be output from a rear center speaker is created by mixing the content of rear L/R channels.) This decoder is the most suitable to reproduce the soundtrack for the movies recorded by Dolby Digital Surround EX. You can enjoy dynamic and realistic sounds by adding another channel. ■ DTS ES (Extended Surround) ADVANCED OPERATION ■ Dolby Digital Surround EX DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a six-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc. has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital surround in your home. This system is practically distortion-free, clear 6-channel sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, two rear channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1 channels). BASIC OPERAIONT Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With three front channels (left, center and right), and two rear stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides five fullrange audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). Using two-channel stereo for the rear speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum volume) reproduced by the five full-range channels and the precise sound orientation generated using digital sound processing provide listeners with previously unheard of excitement and realism. With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for your enjoyment. ■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital Surround PREPARATION ■ Dolby Pro Logic INTRODUCTION ■ Dolby Surround English 79 0112DSPAZ2_79-81_EN(GB) 79 02.8.22, 0:17 PM GLOSSARY ■ LFE 0.1 channel ■ Component video signal This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel systems. With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB/CB and PR/CR signals for the chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is independent. The component signal is also called the “color difference signal” because the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to use the component signal for output. ■ CINEMA DSP D I G I T A L Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater in the listening room of your own home. ■ SILENT CINEMA YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed on headphones. ■ Virtual CINEMA DSP YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects even without any rear speakers by using virtual rear speakers. It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP in a minimum two-speaker system that does not include a center speaker. ■ S VIDEO signal With S VIDEO signal system, the video signal normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the chrominance through the S VIDEO cable. Using the S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images. ■ PCM (Linear PCM) Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without using any compression. This is used as a method of recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and then modulated for recording. ■ Sampling frequency and number of quantized bits When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric value is called the number of quantized bits. The range of rates that can be played back is determined based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range representing the sound level difference is determined by the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies that can be played back, and the higher the number of quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be reproduced. ■ I/O assignment (SET MENU) Although component is normally connected according to jack names shown on the rear panel, this unit includes a function that assigns jacks according to the component being connected. If the component being used differs from the component name shown for this unit’s component video input jacks or digital input/output jacks, it is possible to assign jacks according to the component being connected. This makes it possible to change the jack assignment and effectively connect more component. 80 0112DSPAZ2_79-81_EN(GB) 80 02.8.22, 0:17 PM SPECIFICATIONS VIDEO SECTION • Minimum RMS Output Power Main, Center, Rear, R.
