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. This unit has a total of 10 digital sound field

processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound

field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend

on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround

decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel sound

reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The

operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3)

decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP

program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and

the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.

Digital Sound Field Processing

What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced

sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the

sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice

something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert

hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic

reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it

possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in

your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live

concert. What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated

measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the

acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters,

etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate any

one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.

FEATURES

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar

to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie

theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can

experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround

movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a

four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system

divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main

channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear

surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background

noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows

listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog

originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good

stereo imaging. Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of

pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable

broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround

on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the

signal and distributes the surround-sound effects.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital

signal processing system. This system improves the stability of

sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that

positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared

with conventional analog signal processing systems.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance

control. This always assures you the best performance without

manual adjustment.

Dolby Digital (AC-3)

The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a

totally new sound experiences.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of multi-channel digital

audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format

developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of low

bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that

provides completely independent multi-channel audio to

consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides

five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2”

configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus 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 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 (AC-3) features two surround channels, called stereo or

split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the

three front channels.

Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range

channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been

experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete

digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie

possesses.

English

Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from

Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-3) will

also be applied to DBS, CATV, DVD and HDTV. The ongoing

release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will

provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded

video software.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing

Corporation. “Dolby”, “AC-3”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol

are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect

of Dolby Digital (AC-3) become the most suitable for your audio

system and the listening conditions.

● Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so

that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.

● Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to

either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER

terminals to maximize system performance.

● Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN

SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to

maximize system performance.

Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large

movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be

reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is

difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie

theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of

inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is

much different from those of a movie theater.

Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with

nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater

in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and

dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields

combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs

are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA

DSP technology.

CINEMA DSP

7ch

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 are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo

theater.

This combination is available when the sound field program No.

2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is

analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2-

channels.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) + 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 (AC-

3)-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

(AC-3) sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you

are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater.

This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the sound field program No.

2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is

encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (except in 2-channels).

English

Video superimpose

If you connect your video cassette recorder, LD player, video

monitor, etc. to this unit, you can take advantage of this unit’s

capability to display program titles and information for various

setting changes and adjustments on your video monitor’s screen.

This information will be superimposed over the video image.

If there is no video source connected or it is turned off, the

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 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 the DSP programs No. 1

through No. 4, or when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded with

any DSP program used, if the source contains center-channel

signals, 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 movie viewing 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 the LFE (low frequency effect)

sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby

Digital (AC-3) 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

English

4 Speaker System

Simplest system.

You can enjoy widely diffused sound

by only adding two additional speaker

units at the rear.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM.

(See page 30.)

5 Speaker System

Good for Audio/Video sources.

By the use of center speaker, center

sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are

precisely localized.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML

or WIDE. (See page 30.)

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. 5 through No. 10, 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.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM.

(See page 30.)

7 Speaker System

This is the recommended speaker

system, providing the best sound

effects.

When a normal stereo source is

played back with the sound field

programs No. 5 through No. 10, using

both sets of effect speakers (front and

rear), reproduces the most effective

sound field. When using the sound

field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or

when using any program with the

Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the

center speaker provides precise center

localization.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML

or WIDE. (See page 30.)

Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended

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 and the FRONT EFFECT and

REAR SPEAKERS.

Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.

Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the

MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and

above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.

Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.

They should be nearly six feet up from 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

Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical

because low bass tones are not highly directional.

Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels

correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit

must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise

with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the

red plug for the “R” jacks and the white plug for the “L” jacks.

For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA

type pin plug cables with the exception described later.

With speaker connections you must also be sure that the

polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect

the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the

speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the

minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a

speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or

a different color.

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (OPTICAL AND COAXIAL)

JACKS

If your LD (DVD) player, TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped

with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output jacks, they can be

connected to this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal

input jacks.

To make a connection between optical digital audio signal

jacks, remove the cover from each jack, 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) jack of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with

the same named analog audio signal jacks of this unit, because

digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR

connected to this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals

between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 39 for details.)

NOTE: When connecting an audio/video unit to both of the digital

and analog jacks of this unit, make sure to connect to both jacks of

the same name.

NOTE: Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL jacks are

not being used, in order to protect the jacks from dust.

NOTE: All digital audio signal input jacks are applicable to the

sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

Notes on connecting with an LD player equipped

with an AC-3 RF output

If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital

signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC-

3 RF signal output jack to this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital

signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase).

First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to

the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next,

connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF

demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack

of this unit.

This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded

with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit.

It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s

analog audio signal input jacks regardless of the AC-3 RF signal

connection, for playing back an LD source with the Dolby Pro Logic

Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).

If desired, you can also connect the digital signal output jack

(for 2-channel audio signals) of the LD player to this unit. If you will

do so, connect it to the COAXIAL digital signal input jack of this

unit, and connect the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL digital

signal input jack of this unit.

By this connection, if the input mode of the DVD/LD source is in

“AUTO”, you can enjoy listening to sounds decoded with the Dolby

Digital (AC-3) when you play a disc encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) though signals are input to both OPTICAL and COAXIAL

digital signal input jacks of this unit simultaneously (because

signals input to the OPTICAL jack take priority of signals input to

the COAXIAL jack).

See page 39 for details about switching the input mode.

NOTES

●

If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play

a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the

signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case,

switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely.

However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1,

you do not have to switch it off.

●

When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must

switch off the power to the RF demodulator.

are equipped with “S” (high-resolution) video terminals, connect

them to this unit’s S VIDEO jacks, and connect this unit’s

S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the “S” video input of your

monitor. Otherwise, connect the composite video jacks from your

video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. to the VIDEO jacks of this

unit, and connect this unit’s VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the

composite video input of your monitor.

NOTE: If video signals are sent to both S VIDEO input and VIDEO

input jacks, the signals will be sent to their respective output jacks

independently.

NOTE: If your unit is the General Model, be sure the NTSC/PAL

switch has been correctly set to the standard that your video

equipment employs. Other models have no switch and use the PAL

standard.

Notes about the Video superimpose

● If you watch a video source that is connected to both S VIDEO

and VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display

information are output from only the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT

jack.

● When no video signal is input to either S VIDEO or VIDEO input

jacks of this unit, signals of screen display information are

output from both S VIDEO MONITOR OUT and VIDEO

MONITOR OUT jacks with a color background.

* For the General Model, if the NTSC/PAL switch on the rear

panel is set to “PAL”, nothing will be output from either S

of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections

are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure

that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and –

markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will

be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires

touch each other or any other metal part as this could damage this

unit and/or speakers.

NOTE: Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the

rear of this unit.

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

➀ Unscrew the knob.

➁ Insert the bare wire.

[Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”)

insulation from the speaker

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FUNCTIONS

1. 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 the Dolby Digital (AC-3)

is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the

Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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.

This is for making sounds from the left main, center and right

main speakers reach your listening position at the same time by

delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the

center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the

distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening

position.

2. DYNAMIC RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range)

Choices: MAX/STD/MIN

Preset position: MAX

* This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3)

is decoded.

MAX: “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 (AC-3) technology can bring the original

sound track into a home audio format with this wide

dynamic range unchanged.

In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) 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):

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 possible

to increase the sound output level as high as a movie

theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your

room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard

as well because they will be lost among noises in your

environment.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to

reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home

audio format by “compressing” the data.

In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) 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 extremely low level.

English

3. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE

(low frequency effect) channel)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step)

Preset value: 0 dB

* This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is

decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the

Dolby Digital (AC-3) contain LFE signals.

Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect)

channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at other

channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE

signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted. (See page 6

for details about the LFE channel.)

4. CENTER SPEAKER 6. MAIN SPEAKER

5. REAR SPEAKER 7. LFE/BASS OUT

See pages 30 to 31 for details. (Once you have selected proper

modes, you do not have to make a setting change until any

alteration is made in your speaker system.)

8. INPUT MODE (Selecting the initial input mode of the

sources connected to the TV/DBS input jacks)

For the sources connected to the TV/DBS input jacks of this

unit only, you can designate the input mode that is automatically

selected when the power of this unit is switched on.

AUTO: In this position, the AUTO input mode is always selected

when the power of this unit is switched on.

LAST: In this position, the input mode you have selected last time

is memorized and will not be changed even if the power of

this unit is switched on.

See page 39 for details about switching the input mode.

PLAYING A SOURCE

NOTE: If you will use the remote control unit, be sure to use it with

the lid open.

1. Set the master VOLUME control to minimum.

2. Turn the power on.

3. Select an input source.

This switch must be used only when the lid of the remote control

unit is open. (This switch will not function when the lid is closed.)

Normally, set this switch to the “A” position. When controlling a

Yamaha LD player by using the CD/LD player keys (

2), set this

switch to the “C” position.

H TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator

Lights up when the remote control unit is transmitting infrared

signals (when a command key is pressed).

I LIGHT key

If this key is pressed, some of the keys on the remote control unit

light up for about 5 seconds. If this key is pressed while those keys

are lighting up, they stop lighting.

NOTE

When using the keys to control Yamaha components, identify

them with your component’s keys. If these keys are identical,

their functions will be the same. For each key function, refer to

the corresponding instruction in your component’s manual.

LEARNING NEW CONTROL FUNCTIONS

(When the lid is open)

This is a learning remote control unit. The shaded keys in

the illustration shown right can be programmed to “learn” control

functions from other remote control units. By learning key-

functions from other remote control unit, this unit can then be used

in place of one or more other remote control units, thus making

operation of your various audio and video components more

convenient.

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 pages 61 to 62 for the learning method.

* See pages 64 to 65 for clearing a learned function (or all

learned functions).

NOTE

If the memory capacity of the remote control unit becomes full, no

further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are

not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store only

Yamaha codes into this remote control unit, up to about 50

functions can be stored. Store new functions to the learnable-

capable keys which are useful for you.

English

These buttons are used for learning a new function or clearing a learned

function (or all learned functions). See pages 61 to 65 for details.

Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4)

In the “Learning-capable” keys, the keys of groups numbered

1–4 in the illustration at 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 the 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 original factory settings of these keys are as follows.

NOTE

The area A of any key cannot learn a new function. To store a new

function to a key, store it into the area B or C.

Empty keys (1, 2)

These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from

another remote control unit.

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.

NOTE

If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the

preset function will not be deleted, but disabled. When the learned

function is cleared, the preset function is restored. (For information

on clearing a learned function, refer to pages 64 to 65.)

About the marks shown on the remote control unit

The marks on the remote control unit signify functions of keys,

input sources, etc.

Examples)

(tape): Shows tape deck, VCR, etc.

(disc): Shows CD player, LD player, etc.

(radio wave): Shows tuner, TV/BS tuner, etc.

These marks are helpful for storing new functions.

Examples)

• The area B of keys

1 is suitable for storing functions to control

your VCR.

• The 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 key group (

1–3) 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 group

1–3 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.

keys substitute for the keys of group numbered

1, 2 or

3 and the (+10) key on the left illustration. To use

these keys, you do not have to switch the A/B/C switch. The

functions which the OPERATION CONTROL keys carry out

are determined by which input selector key was pressed

before you use the OPERATION CONTROL keys.

NOTE

When the lid is closed, the EFFECT, MASTER VOLUME,

NOTES

• If the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for keys which

has no function (empty), no command is carried out.

According to your plan, store functions from other remote

control units into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to pages

61 to 62 for the learning method.)

• While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate

another unit by using the remote control unit (for example, if

you want to rewind a tape on your VCR while listening to a CD),

you should open the lid of the remote control unit and use the

A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys.

(If you press an input selector key with the lid 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 can 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 OPERATIONS (When the lid is

closed)

“Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several

operations.

The keys shown in the right illustrations (as “preset macro

keys”) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual

functions.

Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will

carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control

unit sequentially. (To know what key functions are sequentially

carried out by pressing each preset macro key, see the next

page.)

Macros can be used only when the lid is closed and the

MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is

selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.)

Preset macro keys are originally preset with macros. 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. (See page 63 for the learning

method.)

Setting the MACRO switch

OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of

remote control unit 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.

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, or

add no function or repeat the same command between the first

command and the next command.

• If you will program the power on/off switching function of TV,

VCR, etc. as 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.

• 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 control

unit directed at the main unit’s remote control sensor until the

remote control unit finishes transmitting all command signals of

the macro key.

• You can use the OPERATION CONTROL keys also while using

the macro functions.

RESET button 3 Notes about the Remote Control Unit ● ● When you notice that remote control operation has become erratic, or the distance from which the remote control will function has decreased, it’s time to replace the batteries. Always replace all batteries at the same time. This remote control uses an advanced, highly directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the main unit when operating. Open/close the control door When it is not necessary to operate controls inside the control door, close the door. To open the door Remote control transmitter operation range Remote control sensor To close the door Within approximately 6 m (19.7 feet) 30° 30 ° Notes ● There should be no large obstacles between the remote control unit and the main unit. ● If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control unit to work incorrectly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. 4 FEATURES In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder. Digital Sound Field Processing What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert. What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home. English 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. This unit has a total of 10 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments. 5 6 Dolby Pro Logic Surround Dolby Digital (AC-3) This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging. Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects. The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a totally new sound experiences. This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems. 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 (AC-3) features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment. Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie possesses. Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of low bit-rate audio coding. Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus 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 channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect of Dolby Digital (AC-3) become the most suitable for your audio system and the listening conditions. Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP) Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is much different from those of a movie theater. English Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-3) will also be applied to DBS, CATV, DVD and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded video software. Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field. CINEMA DSP 7ch ● ● ● Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so that it will be suitable for the listening conditions. Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to maximize system performance. Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to maximize system performance. The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA DSP technology. 7 Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields Dolby Digital (AC-3) + 3 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 are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater. Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital (AC3)-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 (AC-3) sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time. This combination is available when the sound field program No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2channels. 8 This combination is available when the sound field program No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (except in 2-channels). If you connect your video cassette recorder, LD player, video monitor, etc. to this unit, you can take advantage of this unit’s capability to display program titles and information for various setting changes and adjustments on your video monitor’s screen. This information will be superimposed over the video image. English Video superimpose If there is no video source connected or it is turned off, the information will be displayed over a blue colored background. TEST DSP EFFECT LEVEL / FRONT 0dB NOTE: The program titles and other information are also displayed on the display panel of this unit. SPEAKERS A DSP 9 SPEAKER SETUP Setting Up Your Speaker System Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a sevenspeaker 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. When playing back a source with the DSP programs No. 1 through No. 4, or when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded with any DSP program used, if the source contains center-channel signals, 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 movie viewing 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 the LFE (low frequency effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier. 10 4 Speaker System 5 Speaker System 6 Speaker System 7 Speaker System Simplest system. Good for Audio/Video sources. Good for sound fields from 2channel stereo sources. This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects. You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear. By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized. When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, a sound effect matching that of a 7speaker system can be obtained. The addition of front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective sound field. When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, using both sets of effect speakers (front and rear), reproduces the most effective sound field. When using the sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or when using any program with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the center speaker provides precise center localization.

English Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended 11 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 and the FRONT EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS. Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position. Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair. Main speaker Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly six feet up from the floor. Subwoofer 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 Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional. 12 Front effect speaker Rear speaker Center speaker CONTROLS & THEIR FUNCTIONS English FRONT PANEL 1 2 3 4 5 6 (Europe Model) NATURAL SOUND AV AMPLIFIER CINEMA DSP 7ch DSP–A1092 VOLUME l6 VCR 2 VCR 1 20 DVD/LD l2 28 8 POWER VIDEO AUX TAPE (MD) TV/DBS TUNER PHONO CD 4 40 2 60 0 –dB l ON OFF 0 l 2 3 4 A PHONES 7 * SPEAKERS 8 BASS TONE EXTENSION BYPASS 9 0 0 l 2 3 4 5 l 2 3 4 5 B l 2 3 DVD/LD l 2 5R TUNER VCR 1 PROGRAM CD VCR 2 4 L5 5 TAPE (MD) TV/DBS 3 4 4 5 SOURCE 0 2 3 VIDEO AUX SET MENU BASS TREBLE A BALANCE B EFFECT PHONO S VIDEO DELAY/C/R /F/SWFR C DE F VIDEO L AUDIO R VIDEO AUX REC OUT G H I J For control keys on the remote control unit, see pages 50 to 52. 13 1 POWER Switch Turns this unit on and off. * When you press this switch to turn the power on, you will hear a click and a sound of the built-in fan rotating for a moment. 2 Standby Indicator While the power of this unit is on, pressing the (SYSTEM POWER) OFF key on the remote control unit switches this unit to the standby mode.

Locate the MAIN LEVEL slide switch (C) and FRONT MIX slide switch (B). Make sure the MAIN LEVEL switch is set to “0 dB” and the FRONT MIX switch is set to “OFF” for 7 or 6 speaker driving. Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the white plug for the “L” jacks. In a 5 or 4 speaker system, set the FRONT MIX switch to “ON”. For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA type pin plug cables with the exception described later. Next, set the NTSC/PAL switch (A) to the position corresponding to the standard which your video equipment employs. (General Model only) For the setting of IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch (J), see page 29. For the setting of the center speaker switch (6), see page 27. 20 With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color. English CONNECTING AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCE EQUIPMENT TO THIS UNIT BASIC CONNECTIONS * If you have YAMAHA audio/video unit numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc. on the rear panel, connections can be made easily by making sure to connect the output (or input) terminals of each unit to the same-numbered terminals of this unit.

LD (DVD) player ANALOG OUT OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) jack of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with the same named analog audio signal jacks of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 39 for details.) AUDIO SIGNAL PCM/ DIGITAL IN COAXIAL To make a connection between optical digital audio signal jacks, remove the cover from each jack, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.

NOTE: Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL jacks are not being used, in order to protect the jacks from dust. 22 NOTE: All digital audio signal input jacks are applicable to the sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC3 RF signal output jack to this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase). First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack of this unit. This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit. It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s analog audio signal input jacks regardless of the AC-3 RF signal connection, for playing back an LD source with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural). If desired, you can also connect the digital signal output jack (for 2-channel audio signals) of the LD player to this unit. If you will do so, connect it to the COAXIAL digital signal input jack of this unit, and connect the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL digital signal input jack of this unit. By this connection, if the input mode of the DVD/LD source is in “AUTO”, you can enjoy listening to sounds decoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) when you play a disc encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) though signals are input to both OPTICAL and COAXIAL digital signal input jacks of this unit simultaneously (because signals input to the OPTICAL jack take priority of signals input to the COAXIAL jack). See page 39 for details about switching the input mode. NOTES ● If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely. However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off. ● When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must switch off the power to the RF demodulator.

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 the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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. This is for making sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position. 2. DYNAMIC RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range) Choices: MAX/STD/MIN Preset position: MAX * 36 This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded. MAX: “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 (AC-3) technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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): 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 possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard as well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 extremely low level.

NOTE: 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. NOTE: A source that is connected to this unit between digital jacks only cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to this unit. NOTE: Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material may infringe copyright laws. If you watch a video software 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. 41 SELECTING SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS This unit has 10 programs for digital sound field processing, 6 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 4 programs for Audio/Video sources including sources encoded with Dolby Pro Logic surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3). When operating on the front panel: 1. If no program name is illuminated on the display panel, press the EFFECT switch to turn on the digital sound field processor so that a name of sound field program lights up on the display panel and the monitor screen. To enjoy a video source with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded When you select the program No. 1, 2 or 3, 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 the Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital (AC-3) is automatically decoded. * The following indicators on the display panel show you what sound processing is being made. Front panel EFFECT DIGITAL PCM AC–3 Lights up when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is being decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is not in 2-channels. DSP 2.

The EFFECT switch on the front panel and the EFFECT ON/OFF key on the remote control unit make it simple to compare the normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound. English CANCELING THE EFFECT SOUND To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound, press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT switch. Press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT switch a second time to restore normal operation. Front panel Remote control EFFECT EFFECT or ON/OFF NOTES • If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) are input to this unit, signals of all channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers. • If the EFFECT switch or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed to turn effect sounds OFF when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, press the EFFECT switch or the EFFECT ON/OFF key to turn effect sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3). 43 DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS The following list gives brief descriptions of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. * The channel level balance between the left rear speaker and the right rear speaker may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments. 1. DOLBY PRO LOGIC When the input signal is analog or PCM audio ( Speaker output: main, center, rear DOLBY DIGITAL When the input signal is Dolby Digital ( Speaker output: main, center, rear DIGITAL PRO LOGIC ) ) Reproduces video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are Dolby Surround encoded and bear the “DOLBY SURROUND” logo. The built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects of a source encoded with Dolby Surround. The realization of a highly efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound positioning smoother and more precise. 2. DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED When the input signal is analog or PCM audio PRO LOGIC ) ( DSP Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED When the input signal is Dolby Digital ( DIGITAL Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect DSP ) Reproduces video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are Dolby Surround encoded and bear the “DOLBY SURROUND” logo. This program ideally simulates the multisurround speaker systems of the 35 mm film theater. The Dolby Surround decoding and the digital sound field processing is precisely performed without altering the originally designed sound orientation. The surround effects produced by this sound field folds the viewer naturally from the rear to the left and right and toward the screen. NOTE: If the main channel sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE controls, the relationship with the rear channels may produce an unnatural effect. 44 DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER When the input signal is Dolby Digital ( DIGITAL Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect 5. STADIUM When the input signal is analog or PCM audio ( DSP ) Speaker output: main, rear, front effect When the input signal is Dolby Digital ( DIGITAL DSP ) Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect DSP English 3.

Ideal for reproducing video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are Dolby Surround encoded and bear the “DOLBY SURROUND” logo. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70 mm/Dolby Digital 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 three dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. You can enjoy watching SciFi, adventure movies, etc. with much presence. 4. TV SPORTS 6. DISCO When the input signal is analog or PCM audio ( DSP ) Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect When the input signal is Dolby Digital ( DIGITAL DSP ) Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect This program is furnished with a tight sound field in which the sound will not spread excessively on the front side, but the rear surround side produces a dynamic sound expansion. This program is the most suitable for sports programs. When the input signal is analog or PCM audio ( DSP ) Speaker output: main, rear, front effect When the input signal is Dolby Digital ( DIGITAL DSP ) Speaker output: main, center, rear, front effect This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city.

According to your plan, store functions from other remote control units into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to pages 61 to 62 for the learning method.) While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote control unit (for example, if you want to rewind a tape on your VCR while listening to a CD), you should open the lid of the remote control unit and use the A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys. (If you press an input selector key with the lid 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 can 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. 57 MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed) Preset macro keys TRANSMIT /LEARN CLEAR TRANSMIT “Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several operations.

(Set the MACRO switch to “QUICK” or “SLOW”.) 58 A/B TAPE The keys shown in the right illustrations (as “preset macro keys”) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual functions. Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control unit sequentially. (To know what key functions are sequentially carried out by pressing each preset macro key, see the next page.) Macros can be used only when the lid is closed and the MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.) Setting the MACRO switch OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of remote control unit 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. MACRO English Preset macro keys and the key functions which they carry out sequentially are as follows. (Also, refer to the table on page 53.)

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. • 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 control unit directed at the main unit’s remote control sensor until the remote control unit finishes transmitting all command signals of the macro key. • You can use the OPERATION CONTROL keys also while using the macro functions. 60 1.

In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control units, no further learning is possible. • If the lid is closed while learning and about 5 seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 2. However, if the lid is opened within 5 seconds, the mode before the lid was closed is restored. • There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control unit, this remote control unit will not be able to “learn” its signals. A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 58 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.

The unit turns off suddenly soon after the power is turned on. Hum. No sound. No sound from the effect speakers. No sound from the front effect speakers. No sound from the center speaker. Poor bass reproduction. The sound suddenly goes off. The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted. The sound field cannot be recorded. This unit will not operate properly. 66 POSSIBLE CAUSE AC cord not properly plugged in. The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is not set to the upper or the lower end exactly. Bad cable connection. Bad or incorrect input connection. Incorrect input source selection. Digital signals other than PCM audio or the Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded signals which this unit cannot reproduce are input to this unit by playing a CD-ROM etc. The EFFECT switch is set off. A Dolby Surround decoding program is being used with material not encoded with Dolby Surround. The FRONT MIX switch is set to “ON”. The sound field program No. 1 “DOLBY PRO LOGIC (DOLBY DIGITAL)” is selected. The CENTER SPEAKERS mode is in “PHNTM”. One of the sound field programs No. 5 to No. 10 is selected when the input signal of source is 2channel stereo (analog/PCM). The input signals of source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) do not have center channel signals. The LFE/BASS OUT mode is in the SWFR or BOTH position, though your system does not include a subwoofer. Output mode selection for each channel (MAIN, CENTER or REAR) is improper. The protection circuit has activated because of short circuit etc. The power to the component connected to the REC OUT jacks of this unit is off. It is not possible to record the sound field on a tape deck connected to this unit’s TAPE REC OUT jacks. The internal microcomputer has been frozen by an external electric shock (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or power supply with low voltage.
