The excitement of a concert hall and the powerful sense of being inside a movie - we all want to enjoy these experiences in our own living room. Yamaha has pursued the fulfillment

of these desires for more than 20 years, and this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers.

What is a sound field?

We perceive sound from a voice or an instrument not only as the sounds that are heard

directly but also as the “reflected” or “reverberant” sound that has been reflected by the

walls or ceiling of the building. The character of the reflected and reverberant sound is

affected by the shape, size, and material of the building, and all of these sounds taken

together are what give us the auditory sensation of being in that specific place.

This unique acoustical character of a specific space is what we call the “sound field”.

Conceptual diagram of a concert hall’s sound field

Conceptual diagram of a sound field created by the unit

CINEMA DSP/CINEMA DSP 3D

Yamaha has accumulated a massive amount of acoustical data by analyzing the actual

sound fields of concert halls and performance spaces around the world. “CINEMA

DSP” allows this data to be applied to create sound fields. This unit contains a wide

variety of sound programs using CINEMA DSP.

By selecting a sound program that is appropriate to the content of the playback source

such as movies, music, or games, you can maximize the acoustical effectiveness of

that specific content. (For example, a sound program designed for movies can give you

the sensation of actually being in that scene.)

In addition, the “CINEMA DSP 3D” function uses 3-dimensional sound field data that

includes the axis of height, generating an even more realistic sound field with a spatial

sense.

CINEMA DSP HD

“CINEMA DSP HD

” is Yamaha’s flagship 3D sound field playback technology that

takes full advantage of the massive amount of acoustic reflection data included in the

sound field data. With support for rear presence speaker output, it delivers more than

twice as much capability for generating acoustic reflections as conventional CINEMA

DSP 3D, in addition to high-frequency playback capability, delivering an utterly natural

and powerful spatial sound field.

YPAO is Yamaha original automatic calibration system to optimizing your sound and

surround environment by using microphone measurement. It can be create ideal

listening environment for maximizing high sound quality contents playback by adjusting

various speakers setting and the sound field automatically.

YPAO-R.S.C.

In typical home, the sound

has problems such as a

blurred low-frequency range

or a smearing of the

acoustical sound image

caused by undesirable

sound reflection from the

walls or ceiling.

“YPAO-R.S.C.” is technology that reduces only the unwanted reflections and produces

the acoustic perfection for your listening environment.

YPAO Volume

YPAO Volume automatically adjusts the high

and low frequency levels at any volume level so

that you hear natural sounds even at low

volume.

YPAO 3D measurement

The direction (angle) of front, surround and presence speakers,

and the height of presence speakers as seen from the listening

position is measured, and compensation is applied to maximize

the 3D sound field effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP.

High-resolution music enhancer

Hi-bit high-sampling extension up to 96 kHz / 24-bit can be applied to lossless 44.1/48

kHz content such as from a CD (2-channel PCM) or a FLAC file for further heightening

of the musicality in the original content (p.118).

Before processing

After processing

High-quality video processing

From low-quality digital video to BD (Blu-ray disc) images, any content can be played

back as a high-quality image (p.141).

• Motion adaptive and edge adaptive deinterlacing

• Multi-cadence (including 3-2 pull-down) detection

• Up to 6 presets that can be applied separately to each input source

You can also apply fine touches such as detail enhancement and edge enhancement.

Support for bi-amp connections and external power amp

expansion

To obtain even high audio quality, you can connect front speakers that support power

amp expansion, or expand your system by adding an external power amp (such as a

Hi-Fi amp).

For details, refer to “Advanced speaker configuration” (p.28).

The best expandability in Yamaha

By connecting an external power amp, you can

enjoy the highest peak of CINEMA DSP

- an 11.2-channel 3-dimensional sound field.

(Example)

Multi-zone function

The multi-zone function (

p.103

) allows you to play back different input sources in the room

where the unit is installed (main zone) and in other rooms (such as Zone2).

(The following shows examples of use.)

Enjoying music using speakers in another room

While enjoying multichannel playback in your living room, you can listen to music

through the speakers of a different room.

Enjoying videos using a TV in another room

(HDMI connection)

While enjoying multichannel playback in your living room, you can enjoy videos and

music being input via HDMI on a TV in a different room.

The unit has 9 built-in amplifiers. You can connect 2 to 11 speakers and up to 2 subwoofers to create the favorite acoustic space in your room.

You can also apply bi-amp connections, channel expansion (using an external power amplifier) or multi-zone configurations to enhance your system (p.28).

Functions of each speaker

• Use “Ideal speaker layout” (diagram on the right) as reference. You do not need to exactly adjust the

speaker layout to this diagram since the YPAO function of the unit will automatically optimize the speaker

settings (such as distances) to suit the speaker layout.

• When using only one surround back speaker, place it straight behind the listening position (middle of “SBL”

and “SBR” in the diagram).

• The unit creates front Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and surround speakers to

produce 3-dimensional sound fields even when no front presence speakers are connected. However, we

recommend using front presence speakers in order to experience the full effect of the sound fields (and

rear presence speakers for further spatial sounds).

• (RX-A3050 only)

About external power amplifiers

We recommend using power amplifiers that meet the following conditions.

• With unbalanced inputs

• With volume control bypass (or without volume control circuit)

• Output power: 100 W or more (6 to 8 )

Caution

• To prevent the generation of loud noises or abnormal sounds, make sure the followings before making

connections.

– Remove the power cable of the unit and turn off the external power amplifier before connecting them.

– When using the PRE OUT jacks, do not connect speakers to the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals.

– When using a pre-main amplifier that does not have the volume control bypass, turn up the volume of

the pre-main amplifier enough and fix it. In this case, do not connect other devices (except the unit) to

the pre-main amplifier.

Connect the unit to a router (access point) with a network cable, or prepare the wireless antenna for establishing a wireless network connection.

You can enjoy Internet radio or music files stored on media servers, such as PCs and Network Attached Storage (NAS), on the unit.

Connecting the network cable

Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP network cable (CAT-5

or higher straight cable).

• If you want to use a wired (network cable) connection when a wireless connection has been made, set

“Network Connection” (p.144) in the “Setup” menu to “Wired”.

• If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the unit,

as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to

configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network

parameters manually (p.145).

• You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in

“Network” (p.155) in the “Information” menu.

• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router)

may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the

security software or firewall settings appropriately.

• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.

• To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.

Preparing the wireless antenna

If you want to establish a wireless network connection, stand the wireless antenna up

straight.

For information on how to connect the unit to a network device wirelessly, see

“Connecting to a network device wirelessly” (p.63).

• Do not apply excessive force on the antenna. Doing so may damage it.

supports a system connection or a device with a trigger input jack, you can use the

trigger function by connecting the external device to one of the TRIGGER OUT jacks

with a monaural mini-plug cable.

• You can configure the trigger function settings in “Trigger Output1” and “Trigger Output2” (p.151) in the

“Setup” menu.

After all the connections are complete, connect the supplied power cable to the unit

and then to an AC wall outlet.

Enjoying stereoscopic sound fields

(CINEMA DSP HD

/CINEMA DSP 3D)

* CINEMA DSP HD

: RX-A3050, CINEMA DSP 3D: RX-A2050

The unit is equipped with a variety of sound programs that utilize Yamaha’s original DSP

technology (CINEMA DSP HD

/CINEMA DSP 3D). It allows you to easily create sound

fields like actual movie theaters or concert halls in your room and enjoy natural

stereoscopic sound fields.

• To use the conventional CINEMA DSP, set “CINEMA DSP 3D Mode” (p.140) in the “Setup” menu to “Off”.

• The unit creates front Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and surround speakers to

produce 3-dimensional sound fields even when no front presence speakers are connected. However, we

recommend using front presence speakers in order to experience the full effect of the sound fields (and

rear presence speakers for further spatial sounds).

• If a multichannel source (6.1 channels or more) is input when no surround back speakers are connected,

the unit creates Virtual Surround Back Speaker (VSBS) using the surround speakers to add a sense of

depth to the rear sound field.

• When VPS or VSBS is working, “VIRTUAL” lights up in the front display.

• (RX-A3050 only)

The unit creates rear Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and surround speakers to

produce natural 3-dimensional sound fields when front presence speakers are connected but no rear

presence speakers.

Sound program category

Sound program

Standard

This program creates a sound field that emphasizes the surround feeling

without disturbing the original acoustic positioning of multichannel audio,

such as Dolby Digital and DTS. Its design is based on the concept of the

ideal movie theater, in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful

reverberations from the left, right, and rear.

Spectacle

This program delivers the scale and grandeur of spectacular movie

productions. It delivers an expansive sound space to match the

cinemascope wide-screen, and boasts a broad dynamic range, providing

everything from small delicate sounds to powerful loud booms.

Sci-Fi

This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the

latest Sci-Fi and SFX movies. You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically

created virtual spaces reproduced with clear separation between dialogue,

sound effects, and background music.

Adventure

This program is ideal for reproducing the sound design of action and

adventure movies precisely. The sound field restrains reverberations, but

puts emphasis on reproducing a sensation of expansiveness on both sides,

powerful space expanded widely to the left and right. The restrained depth

creates a clear and powerful space, while also maintaining the articulation of

the sounds and the separation of the channels.

Drama

This program features stable reverberations that match a wide range of

movie genres, from serious dramas to musicals and comedies. The

reverberations are modest, but suitably stereophonic. The sound effects and

background music are reproduced with a gentle echo that does not impinge

on the articulation of the dialogue. You’ll never get tired listening for long

periods.

Mono Movie

This program reproduces monaural video sources, such as classic movies,

in an atmosphere of a good old movie theater. The program creates a

pleasant space with depth, by adding breadth and the appropriate

reverberation to the original audio.

En 77

❑ ENTERTAINMENT

■ Sound programs suitable for music/stereo playback

(MUSIC)

The following sound programs are optimized for listening to music sources.

You can also select stereo playback.

❑ CLASSICAL

Sports

This program allows listeners to enjoy the rich vividness of sport broadcasts

and light entertainment programs. In sports broadcasts, the commentators’

voices are positioned clearly at the center, while the atmosphere inside the

stadium is realistically conveyed by the peripheral delivery of the sounds of

the fans in a suitable space.

Action Game

This program is suitable for action games, such as car racing and fighting

games. The reality of, and emphasis on, various effects makes the player

feel like they are right in the middle of the action, allowing for greater

concentration. Use this program in combination with Compressed Music

Enhancer for a more dynamic and strong sound field.

Roleplaying Game

This program is suitable for role-playing and adventure games. This

program adds depth to the sound field for natural and realistic reproduction

of background music, special effects, and dialogue from a wide variety of

scenes. Use this program in combination with Compressed Music Enhancer

for a clearer and more spatial sound field.

Music Video

This program allows you to enjoy videos of pop, rock, and jazz concerts, as

if you were there yourself. Immerse yourself in the hot concert atmosphere

thanks to the vividness of the singers and solos on stage, a presence sound

field that emphasizes the beat of rhythm instruments, and a surround sound

field that reproduces the space of a big live hall.

Recital/Opera

This program controls the amount of reverberations at an optimum level and

emphasizes the depth and clarity of human voices to offer the reverberations

of an orchestra box in front the listener at the same time as providing the

acoustic positioning and feeling of presence on the stage. The surround

sound field is relatively moderate, but the data for concert hall effects are

used to represent the inherent beauty of music. The listener will not be

fatigued even after long hours of opera entertainment.

Hall in Munich

This program simulates a Munich concert hall with approximately 2,500

seats that uses stylish wood for the interior finishing. Fine, beautiful

reverberations spread richly, creating a calming atmosphere. The listener’s

virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.

Hall in Vienna

This program simulates a 1,700-seat, middle-sized concert hall with a

shoebox shape that is traditional in Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings

create extremely complex reverberations from all around the audience,

producing a very full, rich sound.

Hall in Amsterdam

The large, shoe box shaped hall seats about 2,200 around the circle stage.

Reflections are rich and pleasing while the sound travels freely.

Church in Freiburg

Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church has a

pointed tower at 120 meters in height. Its long and narrow shape and the

high ceiling enable the elongated reverberation time and limited initial

reflection time. Thus, the rich reverberation rather than the sound itself

reproduces the atmosphere of the church.

Church in

Royaumont

This program features the sound field created by the refectory (dining hall)

of a beautiful medieval Gothic monastery located in Royaumont on the

outskirts of Paris.

Chamber

This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling, like an

audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable

for courtly music and chamber music.

En 78

❑ LIVE/CLUB

❑ STEREO

• CINEMA DSP HD

/CINEMA DSP 3D (p.76) and Virtual CINEMA DSP (p.78) do not work when “2ch

Stereo” or “9ch Stereo” is selected.

■ Enjoying sound field effects without surround speakers

(Virtual CINEMA DSP)

If you select one of the sound programs (except 2ch Stereo and 9ch Stereo) when no

surround speakers are connected, the unit utilizes Yamaha’s original virtual surround

technology to reproduce up to 7-channel surround sound and enable you to enjoy the

well-oriented sound field only with the front-side speakers. We recommend using

presence speakers in order to enjoy more effective stereoscopic sound field.

• When Virtual CINEMA DSP is working, “VIRTUAL” lights up in the front display.

■ Enjoying surround sound with 5 speakers placed in front

(Virtual CINEMA FRONT)

If you have surround speakers but there is no space to place them in the rear of your

room, you can place them in the front (p.23) and enjoy multichannel surround sound

using Virtual CINEMA FRONT.

When “Layout (Surround)” (p.136) in the “Setup” menu is set to “Front”, the unit creates

the virtual surround speakers in the rear side to allow you to enjoy multichannel

surround sound with the 5 speakers placed in the front.

• When Virtual CINEMA FRONT is working, “VIRTUAL” lights up in the front display.

■ Enjoying surround sound with headphones

(SILENT CINEMA)

You can enjoy surround or sound field effects, like a multichannel speaker system, with

stereo headphones by connecting the headphones to the PHONES jack and selecting

a sound program or a surround decoder.

Village Vanguard

The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low

ceiling makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in

the center.

Warehouse Loft

The warehouse resembles some lofts in Soho. Sound reflects off the

concrete walls clearly with a lot of energy.

Cellar Club

This program simulates an intimate concert venue with a low ceiling and

homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field delivers powerful sounds that

make you feel as if you are sitting in the front row in front of a small stage.

The Roxy Theatre

This program creates the sound field of a 460-seat rock music concert

venue in Los Angeles. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the

hall.

The Bottom Line

This program creates the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a

famous New York jazz club once. The floor can seat 300 people to the left

and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.

2ch Stereo

Use this program to mix down multichannel sources to 2 channels. When

multichannel signals are input, they are down mixed to 2 channels and

output from the front speakers (this program does not utilize CINEMA DSP).

9ch Stereo

Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you play back

multichannel sources, the unit mixes down the source to 2 channels, and

then outputs the sound from all speakers. This program creates a larger

sound field and is ideal for background music at parties.

En 79

Enjoying unprocessed playback

You can play back input sources without any sound field effect

processing.

■ Playing back in original channels

(straight decode)

When the straight decode mode is enabled, the unit produces

stereo sound from the front speakers for 2-channel sources such as

CDs, and produces unprocessed multichannel sounds for

multichannel sources.

Press STRAIGHT.

Each time you press the key, the straight decode mode is

enabled or disabled.

• To enable 6.1/7.1-channel playback from 5.1-channel sources when surround

back speakers are used, select a surround decoder (p.79).

• If “Layout (Surround)” (p.136) in the “Setup” menu is set to “Front”, Virtual

CINEMA FRONT (p.78) works when multichannel source is played back.

■ Playing back 2-channel sources in

multichannel (surround decoder)

The surround decoder enables unprocessed multichannel

playback from 2-channel or multichannel sources.

• Speakers that produce sounds will change depending on your speaker system

and the selected decode type (p.127).

The multi-zone function allows you to play back different input sources in the room

where the unit is installed (main zone) and in other rooms (Zone2, Zone3 and Zone4).

For example, while you are watching TV in the living room (main zone), another person

can listen to PC music in the study room (Zone2), and another can listen to radio in the

guest room (Zone3) and play DVD in the kitchen (Zone4).

Multi-zone configuration examples

■ Enjoying music in other rooms

You can enjoy music using speakers placed in other rooms.

Connections

Speakers (connecting to the unit directly): p.36

Speakers (using an external amplifier): p.105

Playing back videos/audio in multiple rooms (multi-zone)

• Video/audio signals that can be output to each zone vary depending on how you connect the device in

each zone to the unit’s output jacks. For details, see “Multi-zone output” (p.181).

• Since there are many possible ways to use the unit in a multi-zone configuration, we recommend that

you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the multi-zone

connections that best meet your requirements.

■ Connecting speakers to play back audio

Connect speakers to play back audio in Zone2 or Zone3. The connection method

varies depending on the amplifier being used (the unit or an external amplifier).

❑ Using the unit’s internal amplifier

Connect the speakers placed in Zone2 or Zone3 to the unit with speaker cables. For

details, see “Connecting Zone2/3 speakers” (p.36).

Caution

• Remove the unit’s power cable from the AC wall outlet before connecting speakers or an external

amplifier.

• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the

unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit,

“Check SP Wires” will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.

En 105

❑ Using an external amplifier

Connect the external amplifier placed in Zone2 or Zone3 to the unit with a stereo pin

cable and connect speakers to the external amplifier.

• (RX-A3050 only)

You cannot use an external amplifier for Zone2 when the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks are set to output front

presence channel audio in “Power Amp Assign” (p.133) in the “Setup” menu. Also, you cannot use an

external amplifier for Zone3 when the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks are configured to output rear presence

channel audio.

■ Connecting a video monitor to play back analog videos

Connect a video monitor to watch analog videos at Zone2 or Zone3. Depending on the

video input jacks available on your video monitor, choose one of the video connection

methods.

• The video conversion between the analog video jacks does not work for multi-zone video output. To watch

videos played back on a video device on the zone video monitor, you need to connect the video monitor to

the unit in the same way as the video device. For example, if you want to watch videos input from the DVD

player via a component video cable, connect the video monitor to the MONITOR OUT/ZONE OUT

(COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks with a component video cable.

To assign the MONITOR OUT/ZONE OUT jacks to the video monitor for Zone2 or

Zone3, set “Monitor Out Assign” (p.149) in the “Setup” menu to “Zone2” or “Zone3”.

APPENDIX

The new speaker system does not provide an ideal sound

balance...

If you have changed speakers or have a new speaker system, use “Auto Setup” to

optimize the speaker settings again (p.51). If you want to adjust the speaker settings

manually, use “Manual Setup” in the “Setup” menu (p.133).

Since we have small children, we want to set limitations on the

volume control...

If a small child accidentally operates the controls on the main unit or remote control, the

volume may suddenly increase. This may also cause injury or damage the unit or

speakers. We recommend using “Max Volume” in the “Setup” menu to set the maximum

volume level for the unit in advance (p.139). You can also set the maximum volume for

Zone2 or Zone3 (p.148).

I am occasionally startled by a sudden loud sound when turning

on the unit...

By default, the volume level when the unit last entered standby mode is automatically

applied. If you want to fix the volume, use “Initial Volume” in the “Setup” menu to set the

volume to be applied when the receiver is turned on (p.139). You can also set the initial

volume for Zone2 or Zone3 (p.148).

We are bothered by volume differences when switching

between input sources…

You can correct volume differences between input sources by utilizing “Input Trim” in

the “Option” menu (p.119).

I made HDMI connections but HDMI Control does not work at

all...

To use HDMI Control, you need to perform the HDMI Control link setup (p.182). After

connecting HDMI Control-compatible devices (such as BD/DVD players) to the unit,

enable HDMI Control on each device and perform the HDMI Control link setup. This

setup is required every time you add a new HDMI Control-compatible device to your

system. For information on how HDMI Control works between your TV and playback

devices, refer to the instruction manuals for each device.

I want to turn off the on-screen messages displayed during

operations...

By default, short messages are displayed on the TV screen when the unit is operated

(such as input selection and volume adjustment). If the short messages bother you

when you are watching movies or sports, configure “Short Message” (p.150) in the

“Setup” menu to turn off the short messages.

I want to prevent accidental changes to the settings...

You can protect the settings configured on the unit (such as speaker settings) by

utilizing “Memory Guard” in the “Setup” menu (p.152).

The unit’s remote control is simultaneously controlling another

Yamaha product as well as the unit...

When using multiple Yamaha products, the remote control may work on another

Yamaha product or another remote control may work on the unit. If this happens,

remote control (p.157).

I want to enjoy videos/audio played back on the video device

even when the unit is in standby mode...

If you have connected a video device to the unit with HDMI, you can output

videos/audio played back on the video device to the TV even when the unit is in

standby mode. To use this function, set “Standby Through” (p.144) in the “Setup” menu

to “On” or “Auto”. You can also switch the input source using the remote control of the

unit when this function is enabled.

services on Internet because it allows a high compression rate of data while maintaining better audio quality

than MP3.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded, and transmitted. This

technology is the basis of all other audio format. This technology is used as a lossless audio format called

Linear PCM for audio on a variety of media, including CDs and BD (Blu-ray discs).

Sampling frequency/Quantization bit

Sampling frequency and quantization bits indicate the quantity of information when an analog audio signal

is digitized. These values are noted as in the following example: “48 kHz/24-bit”.

• Sampling frequency

Sampling frequency (the number of times the signal is sampled per second) is called the sampling rate.

When the sampling frequency is higher, the range of frequencies that can be played back are wider.

• Quantization bit

The number of quantization bits indicate the degree of accuracy when converting the sound level into a

numeric value. When the number of quantized bits is higher, the expression of the sound level is more

accurate.

WAV

technologies, this compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of

compressing data quantity by about 1/20 maintaining a certain level of audio quality.

■ Others

Bi-amplification connection (Bi-amp)

A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker. When you use the bi-amplification

connection, the unit drives the tweeter and woofer in a speaker with the discrete amplifiers. As a

consequence, the tweeter and woofer provide clear audio signal without the interference.

LFE (Low Frequency Effects) 0.1 channel

This channel reproduces low-frequency bass signals and has a frequency range from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This

channel is added to the channels for all bands with Dolby Digital or DTS to enhance low frequency audio

effects. This channel is labeled 0.1 because it is limited to only low frequency audio.

Lip sync

Video output sometimes lags behind audio output due to the complexity of signal processing caused by an

increase in video signal capacity. Lip sync is a technique for automatically correcting the timing lag

between audio and video output.

En 177

HDMI and video information

Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for luminance and

the Pb and Pr signals for chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because

each of these signals is independent.

Composite video signal

With the composite video signal system, color, brightness, and synchronization data signals are combined

and transmitted with a single cable.

Deep Color

Deep Color is a technology that HDMI specification supports. Deep Color increases the number of available

colors within the boundaries defined by the RGB or YCbCr color space. Conventional color systems

process the color using 8 bits. Deep Color processes the color with 10, 12, or 16 bits. This technology

allows HDTVs and other displays to increase from millions of colors to billions of colors and eliminate

on-screen color banding for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors.

HDCP

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a digital copy protection form that prevents copying of

digital contents as it travels across connections (such as HDMI).

HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the world-wide standard interface for digital audio/video

signal transmission. This interface transmits both digital audio and digital video signals using a single cable

without any loss. HDMI complies with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and provides a

secure audio/video interface. For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at

“

http://www.hdmi.org/”.

x.v.Color

“x.v.Color” is a technology that the HDMI specification supports. It is a more extensive color space than

sRGB and allows the expression of colors that were not hitherto possible. While remaining compatible with

the color gamut of sRGB standards, “x.v.Color” expands the color space, and thus can produce more vivid,

natural images.

Network information

SSID

SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a particular wireless LAN access point.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the

Internet wirelessly using radio waves. Wi-Fi offers the advantage of eliminating the complexity of making

connections with network cables by using wireless connection. Only products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance

interoperability tests can carry the “Wi-Fi Certified” trademark.

WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which allows easy

establishment of a wireless home network.

CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor)

Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is

best experienced in a theater that has many speakers designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions

(such as room size, wall material, and number of speakers) can differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are

differences in the sound that you hear. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, CINEMA DSP,

Yamaha’s original DSP technology provides the audiovisual experience of a movie theater in your own

home.

CINEMA DSP 3D

The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA

DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of the sound images so that it creates the

accurate and intensive 3D sound fields in a listening room.

CINEMA DSP HD

The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA

DSP HD

feature achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of the sound images so that it creates the

accurate and intensive stereoscopic sound fields in a listening room.

Compressed Music Enhancer

The Compressed Music Enhancer feature compensates for missing harmonics in compression music

formats (such as MP3). As a result, this technology provides improved performance for the overall sound

system.

SILENT CINEMA

Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for

headphones have been set for each sound program, so that accurate representations of all the sound

programs can be enjoyed on headphones.

Virtual CINEMA DSP

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows the system to virtually reproduce the sound field of the surround speakers with

front left and right speakers. Even if the surround speakers are not connected, the unit creates the realistic

sound field in a listening room.

Virtual CINEMA FRONT

Virtual CINEMA FRONT allows the system to virtually reproduce the sound field of the surround speakers

with front surround speakers. Even if the surround speakers placed in the front, the unit creates the realistic

sound field in a listening room.

Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS)

Virtual Presence Speaker allows the system to virtually reproduce the height of the 3D sound field without

presence speakers. Even if the presence speakers are not connected, the unit creates the 3D sound field in

your room.

Virtual Surround Back Speaker (VSBS)

Virtual Surround Back Speaker allows the system to virtually reproduce the sound field of the surround back

speakers. Even if the surround back speakers are not connected, the unit adds a sense of depth to the rear

sound filed of CINEMA DSP.

• We recommend using TV and playback devices from the same manufacturer so that HDMI Control works

more effectively.

• We do not assure the operation of all HDMI Control-compatible devices.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

ARC allows you to input TV audio to the unit with the HDMI cable which transmits video

signal to the TV.

Check the following after the HDMI Control settings.

Select a TV program with the TV remote control.

Check that the input source of the unit will be automatically switched

to “AUDIO 1” and the TV audio will be played back on the unit.

If you cannot hear the TV audio, check the following:

– “ARC” (p.143) in the “Setup” menu is set to “On”.

– The HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-compatible HDMI jack (HDMI jack

marked “ARC”) on the TV.

Some HDMI jack on the TV is not compatible with ARC. For details, refer to

the instruction manual for the TV.

• If the audio is interrupted while using ARC, set “ARC” (p.143) in the “Setup” menu to “Off” and use an audio

cable (digital optical or stereo pin cable) to input TV audio to the unit (p.39).

• When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

• “AUDIO 1” is set as TV audio input at the factory. If you have connected any external device to the AUDIO 1

jacks, use “TV Audio Input” (p.143) in the “Setup” menu to change the TV audio input assignment. To use

the SCENE function (p.74), you also need to change the input assignment for SCENE (TV).

The unit is compatible with the video signals of the following resolutions:

• When CPPM copy-protected DVD-Audio is played back, video/audio signals may not be output, depending

on the type of the DVD player.

• The unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or DVI devices. For details, refer to the instruction

manual for each device.

• To decode audio bitstream signals on the unit, set the input source device appropriately so that the device

outputs the bitstream audio signals directly (does not decode the bitstream signals on the playback device).

For details, refer to the instruction manual for the playback device.
