FEATURES
■ Built-in 8-channel power amplifier
• Main: 130 W + 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz
• Center: 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz
• Rear: 130 W + 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz
• Front: 45 W + 45 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.05% THD, 1 kHz
• Rear center: 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz
■ Digital Sound Fields (DSP)
Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision,
and power. However, something has been missing: the atmosphere and acoustic ambience of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have
extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters
and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used
to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields have been created using data measured at the
original venue; others have been created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Some have been
designed especially for music, and others especially for movies. Of course, this only solves half of the problem. Because these engineers have
no way of knowing the acoustics of your entertainment room, we have made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data
to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following
surround sound technologies.
■ CINEMA-DSP: Dolby Digital + DSP and DTS + DSP
The Dolby Digital system and DTS system show their full capability in large movie theaters, because feature film soundtracks are designed
to be reproduced in such environments. It is difficult to recreate a sound environment similar to a movie theater in your entertainment room
because of the room size, wall materials, and the number of speakers in your entertainment system. Yamaha DSP technology makes it
possible for you to enjoy nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your entertainment room by compensating for
lack of presence and dynamics in your entertainment room with Yamaha's original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Digital or DTS
soundtracks.
■ Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT CINEMA DSP
Yamaha developed the Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm which allows you to experience the virtual sound fields without surround speakers.
This makes it possible for the DSP-AZ1 to produce a full surround sound catering to the number of speakers you have. The DSP-AZ1 also
has a SILENT CINEMA DSP algorithm which is achieved by the crosstalk processing applying the precise Head Related Transfer Function.
You can therefore enjoy listening to the CINEMA DSP soundfields on headphones.
■ Various decoders to support the newest sound effect technology
This unit is equipped with the following signal format decoders.
• Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX
The Matrix decoder enables 6.1-channel playback of the 5.1-channel sources by extracting the rear center channel signals from the rear L/R
channel signals.
• DOLBY PRO LOGIC
• DOLBY PRO LOGIC
DOLBY PRO LOGIC is the improved technique to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This new technology
enables a discrete 5-channel playback with two left and right main channels, a center channel, and two left and right rear channels compared
with one limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic technology. Also the music mode is available for 2-channel sources in addition
to the movie mode.
• DTS and DTS ES
The DSP-AZ1 is also equipped with a DTS decoder, which uses a 5.1-channel system to create a full surround sound environment. It was
developed as a way to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six channels of digital sound. In comparison with Dolby Digital, DTS
uses less compression to store the sound information. The newly presented DTS ES system reproduces digital sound similar to Dolby Digital
EX. The use of the rear center speaker along with the existing 5.1-channel speakers provides a fully immersive cinematic audio experience.
• DTS Neo: 6
Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6-channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range
channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources
and “Cinema mode” for movies.
• DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1 channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz/24 bit.
E-5
INTRODUCTION
English
■ Various input and output jacks
The DSP-AZ1 has various output jacks for audio and video signals as well as a digital recording output jack. Many input jacks are also
available for connection to multiple audio-video sources. All the video inputs and outputs have S-video jacks in addition to standard
composite video jacks for improved video picture quality. Component video input and output jacks are also available to deliver the excellent
video signals from DVD players and other high quality video sources. The coaxial and optical digital signal jacks (provided for direct
transmission of digital signals) automatically detect Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM signals. A demodulator circuit is built into the Dolby
Digital RF input so you can connect it directly to the Dolby Digital RF signal output on your LD player. Additionally, there are six audio
inputs for discrete multichannel reproduction from an external decoder.
The DSP-AZ1 also comes with a monaural subwoofer jack and split subwoofer jacks which can reproduce delicate but powerful low
frequency effects.
■ Multi-function remote control
The remote control can operate other audio-video components once you program the remote control using the manufacturer code and Learn
feature.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right main speakers, a center speaker, the left and right rear
speakers, the left and right front effect speakers, and a rear center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for
speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to
produce a fuller sound.
■ 8-speaker configuration –full CINEMA-DSP–
When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack
audio. The dialogue is positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is positioned slightly behind the screen,
and the soundtrack music is positioned even further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation. This
configuration makes the most of this unit's capability.
■ 6-speaker configuration –Hi-Fi DSP–
This configuration is used the most for audio playback with Hi-Fi DSP. It does not position the dialogue sound as well as a 7- or 8-speaker
configuration. However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field which adds depth to the sound.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
■ 5-speaker configuration –standard 5.1 channel–
This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the 7- or 8-speaker configuration. However, it positions the
dialogue sound as coming directly from the screen.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.
■ 4-speaker configuration –minimum requirement–
In this configuration, the center speaker signals and front effect speaker signals are directed to the left and right main speakers.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE”, item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE”, and item
“1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.
■ Speaker configurations and speaker mode
Select the appropriate speaker mode depending on the speaker configuration. See “SPEAKER MODE SETTINGS” on page 34 for details.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Caution
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the
monitor.
■ Placing the main speakers
Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position.
If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each
side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.
■ Placing the center speaker
If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the center
speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as
possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the
monitor, the front effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the
action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen
in your system, place the center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker
with the center of the screen.

■ Placing the front effect, rear and rear center speakers
These speakers should be placed about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 feet) outside the main speakers
and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position.
Place the rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position.
The rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the front effect speakers. Place these
speakers at the height of 1.5 m when listening as sitting on the floor or 1.8 m when
listening as sitting on the chair.
Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement until you
obtain a balanced sound from the main speakers and the front effect and rear speakers.
This distance can be farther than the front
effect speakers’.

■ When you use a projection screen
Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.
The main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of
the screen.
Place the center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The center speaker
provides precise dialogue localization.
When you use a projection screen with your system, the front effect speakers provide
better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs (see pages 90 to 94) raise
the sound from the center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding with
the video images.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
■ Placing the subwoofers
Place the front subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
If you use a rear subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The placement of the rear subwoofer is not critical because of the
ultra low frequencies of the sound being reproduced.
By adding a high quality subwoofer to the speaker configurations shown on page 14, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic movie
effects, even if your main speakers are large.
Note
• If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your configuration, the tone of a moving human voice and other
types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal
quality.
You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the SET MENU (see pages 56 and 57).
If you are using small speakers, the addition of a subwoofer will reinforce the sound effects of movies.

1 Composite VIDEO jack
Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional
composite video signals.
2 S VIDEO jack
Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into
luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals
achieve high quality color reproduction. When you are using the S
VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came
with the component being connected.
3 COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are
separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR)
video signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal.
The labels of the component video jacks may be different depend-
ing on the component (e.g. Y, C
B, CR / Y, PB, PR / Y, B-Y, R-Y/ etc.).
Component video signals provide the best quality in picture
reproduction. When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the
component being connected.
Cautions
• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to
the S VIDEO jacks, and commercially available video cables
when connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input
through the composite video, S-video, and component jacks are
output through the corresponding composite video, S-video, and
component jacks respectively.
• If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT
VIDEO jacks of this unit, the OSD is not shown.
Note
• You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A, B
and C jacks according to your component by using “8 I/O
ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see page 58 for details).
E-22
CONNECTIONS
■ Connecting a DVD player
• Connect the left and right analog signal output jacks on your DVD player to the DVD L and R jacks. Connect the composite video signal
output jack on your DVD player to the DVD VIDEO jack.
• If your DVD player has an S-video output or component video output, you can connect it to this unit. Connect the S-video signal output
jack on your DVD player to the DVD S VIDEO jack or connect the component video signal output jacks on your DVD player to the DVD
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
• Connect the optical digital signal output jack on your DVD player to the OPTICAL DVD jack.
• Connect the coaxial digital signal output jack on your DVD player to the COAXIAL DVD jack.

Connecting speakers
• Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+”
(red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no
sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the
speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and
lack bass.
• Connect the speaker cables with care to avoid creating a short
circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this
unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automati-
cally shuts off the power.
After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to
change the signal output settings according to the number and size
of the speakers in your configuration.

ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD)
You can display the operation information for this unit on a video monitor. If you display the SET MENU and DSP sound field program
parameter settings on a screen, it is much easier to see the available options and parameters than it is by reading this information on the front
panel display.
Notes
• If a video source is being reproduced, the OSD is superimposed over the image.
• The OSD signal is not output through the REC OUT selector, and will not be recorded with any video signal.
OSD modes
You can change the amount of information the OSD shows.
Full display: This mode always shows the sound field program parameter settings on the video monitor (see page 95).
Short display: This mode briefly shows the same contents as the front panel display at the bottom of the screen, then disappears.
Display off: This mode briefly shows the “DISPLAY OFF” message at the bottom of the screen, then disappears. Afterwards, no
changes to operations appear on the screen except those of the ON SCREEN.
Notes
• The SET MENU, “TEST DOLBY SUR.” and “TEST DSP” appear regardless of the OSD mode.
• When you choose the Full Display mode, INPUT SELECTOR, VOLUME and some other types of operation information are displayed at
the bottom of the screen in the same format as the front panel display.
Selecting the OSD mode

1
Turn on the video monitor connected to this unit.
2
2
Press ON SCREEN on the remote control repeatedly
to change the display mode.
The OSD mode changes in the following order: full display,
short display, and display off.
Cautions
• If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT
VIDEO terminals of this unit, the OSD is not shown.
• If you choose a video input source that has component connected
to both the S VIDEO IN and composite VIDEO IN jacks, and both
the S VIDEO OUT and composite VIDEO OUT jacks are
connected to a video monitor, the video signal is output to both the
S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT jacks. However, the OSD is
carried only on the S-video signal. If no video signal is input, the
OSD is carried on both the S-video and composite video signals.
• Playing back video software that has an anti-copy signal or video
signals with a lot of noise may produce unstable images.

BASIC PLAYBACK
■ Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs
• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any
way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you
make a digital connection between this unit and the player.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input
mode to “ANALOG”, this unit may reproduce the noise of an
unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, connect the source to a
digital input jack and set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS”.
• If you switch the input mode to “ANALOG” while playing a
source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input
mode set to “AUTO”, this unit automatically switches to the DTS-
decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up.) after having
detected the DTS signal. When playback of the DTS source is
completed, the “t” indicator may flash. While this indicator is
flashing, only DTS source can be played. If you want to play a
normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to “AUTO”.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input
mode set to “AUTO”, the “t” indicator may flash when a
search or skip operation is performed while the DTS source is
playing back with the input mode set to “AUTO”. If this status
continues for longer than 30 seconds, this unit will automatically
switch from “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input
mode. The “t” indicator will turn off.
■ Notes on playing an LD source
• For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack,
connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode
to “AUTO” or “ANALOG”.
• If the LD player is transmitting a signal by a non-standard method,
this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this
case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.
• Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio
signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input
mode as necessary.
• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded
with a Dolby Digital signal, if you switch from the pause or
chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the
PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital signal is
played. In this case, set the input mode to “D.D.RF”.

Selecting a sound field program
You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a DSP program. There are 12 programs with sub-programs available with this unit.
However the selection depends on the input signal format and not all the sub-programs are possible for all input signal formats. For details
about each program, see pages 86 to 94.
1
1
Set 10KEY/DSP to DSP on the remote control.
2
2
Press PROGRAM q/w (one of the DSP program
buttons on the remote control) to select the desired
program.
After selecting the desired program, press the same button
repeatedly to select the desired sub-program if available.
• Example: Each time MOVIE THEATER 1 is pressed the
subprograms (“Spectacle” and “Sci-Fi”) switch.
Cautions
• If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode
is set to “AUTO”, the DSP program automatically switches to
the appropriate decoding program.
• Choose a DSP program based on your listening preference,
and not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your
listening room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound
reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the
program.
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically
selects the last DSP program used with that source.
• When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current
source and DSP program are memorized and are automati-
cally selected when you turn on the power again.
• When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this
unit is selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be
used.
• While the over 96 kHz sampling digital signals are being
input, sound effects cannot be added and only normal stereo
playback is possible.
• Sound effects will be added to 96 kHz sampling digital
signals after converted to 48 kHz.

Cautions
• If you turn off the sound effect, no sound is output from the center
speaker, rear speakers, rear center speaker and front effect
speakers.
• If you turn off the sound effect while a Dolby Digital or DTS
signal is being output, the dynamic range of the signal is automati-
cally compressed and the sounds of the center and rear speaker
channels are mixed and output from the main speakers.
• The volume may be greatly reduced when you turn off the sound
effect or if you set “12 DYNAMIC RANGE” on the SET MENU
to “MIN”. In this case turn on the sound effect.
■ Displaying the information about the input
source
During the stereo reproduction, information about the signal being
played back can be displayed by setting PARAMETER/SET
MENU to PARAMETER and then pressing / . The three types of
information shown below are displayed as switched every time
is
pressed.

Cautions
• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT
channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not
output on VCR 1 OUT.)
• S-video and composite video signals pass independently through
this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing
video signals, if your video source component is connected to
provide only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal, you
can record only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal by
your VCR.
• DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are
independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL
OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.
• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot
be recorded.
• The LD q RF (AC-3) input signal cannot be output using REC
OUT/ZONE 2.
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records,
CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe
copyright laws.
■ Special considerations when recording DTS
software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record
the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if
you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals
recorded on them, the following considerations and adjustments
need to be made. For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS,
when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its
operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will
be output from the player.

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

Initial setting: AUTO
AUTO: Select this to allow this unit to automatically detect the type of input signal and
select the appropriate input mode.
LAST: Select this to set this unit to automatically select the last input mode used for that
source.
Caution
• Even if “LAST” is selected, the setting for EX/ES is not stored in memory.
10 PARAMETER INI (parameter initialization)
Use this feature to initialize the parameters for each DSP program within a DSP program group. When you initialize a DSP program group,
all of the parameter values within that group revert to their initial settings.
Press the corresponding numeric button for the DSP program that you want to initialize.
The asterisk (*) next to the program number means that the parameter values have been
changed.
Cautions
• You cannot initialize the individual DSP programs within a group separately.
• The parameter values of the DSP programs do not change if you initialize a program
group that does not have the asterisk mark (*).
• When “16 MEMORY GUARD” is set to “ON” (see page 62), you cannot initialize any
program groups.
• Once you initialize a DSP program group, you cannot automatically revert to the
previous parameter settings.

Initial setting: MAX (for both speakers and headphones)
Caution
• Some types of the Dolby Digital software do not support “MIN” for the dynamic range.
If “MIN” is selected to play this type of software, the volume may be extremely
lowered. If this problem occurs, select “MAX” or “STD”.
13 SP DELAY
Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center and the rear center channel sounds. This feature works when there is sound output from the
center speakers, with a source like Dolby Digital or DTS, etc.
Ideally, the center speaker and the rear center speaker should be the same distance from
the main listening position as the left and right main speakers. However, in most home
situations, the center speaker or the rear center speaker is placed in line with the main
speakers or the rear speakers. By delaying the sound from the center speaker and the rear
center speaker, the apparent distance from the center speaker and the rear center speaker
to the main listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance
between the left and right main speaker, and the left and right rear speakers to the listening
position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is especially important for giving
depth to the dialogue.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES
Using the Macro feature
The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations by pressing just one button. For example, when you want to play a CD,
normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button to start playback. The Macro feature lets you
perform all those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The macro buttons (the input selector buttons, SYSTEM POWER and
STANDBY) are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see pages 76 and 77).

In order to turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit, connect those components to the AC
OUTLET(S) on the rear panel. (Power control may not be synchronized with this unit depending on the component. For details, please
refer to the operation instruction for the connected component.)
*
2
If the macro you select includes power control functions, the component may be turned off if it is already on when you press the macro
button. For example, if your TV is on and you press the SYSTEM POWER macro button, the TV is turned off.
*
3
Playback can be started with any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorders, CD players, CD recorders and DVD players. When
using macros to operate other components, it is either necessary to program PLAY on the control area of that component (see pages 68
and 69) or to set up a manufacturer code (see page 66).

Press a macro button.
Cautions
• When you have finished using the Macro feature, set MACRO
ON/OFF to OFF.
• While this unit is carrying out a macro program, this unit does not
receive any other button’s function until the macro operation has
been completed (the TRANSMIT indicator stops flashing).
• Continue to aim the remote control at the component the macro is
operating until the macro operation has been completed.

■ Programming a macro
You can program your own macros and use the Macro feature to
transmit many remote control commands by pressing a single
button.
Cautions
• The factory-set macro is not cleared when a new macro is
programmed for a button. The factory-set macro can be used again
when the programmed macro is cleared.
• It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the factory-
set macro. Programming a macro changes all macro contents.
• A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or
YAMAHA preset) button signals of this remote control to a macro
button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or program a
function with the remote control for your component.
• This remote control handles button signals that operate continu-
ously, such as volume control, as short time interval codes. Macro
programming that include these types of macro steps are therefore
not recommended.
1
1
Press MACRO by using a ballpoint pen or similar
object.
“MCR ?” appears in the display window.
Caution
• If you do not press any button within 30 seconds during steps
2 and 3, the macro programming process is canceled. If this
happens, start over from step 1.

2
Press a macro button for which you want to program
the macro operation.
The button you chose for programming the macro operation

Cautions
•“AGAIN” appears in the display window when a button other
than the macro buttons is pressed.
• If you want to change the source component, use SOURCE
SELECT
/ or input selector buttons. When you use the
input selector buttons, selecting the input is programmed as a
macro step, whereas SOURCE SELECT
/ only changes
the component.

Press the buttons of the functions that you want to
include in the macro operation sequence in order.
You can set up to 10 steps (10 functions). After you have set 10
steps, “FULL” appears and the remote control automatically
exits from the macro mode.
Example: Programming a macro for DVD
If the button that you want to program as the first macro step is
pressed, “MCR 1” appears. In a few seconds, “M:DVD” and
“DVD” appear and you can program the next button.
Caution
•“NG” appears in the display window when programming has
not been done correctly. In this case, start over from step 2.

Press MACRO again when the operation sequence
you want to program is complete.

ZONE 2
You can make up a multi-room audio-video system with this unit. With this feature, you can set this unit to reproduce separate input sources
in the main room and second (Zone 2) room using the supplied remote control in the second room.
ONLY ANALOG SIGNALS ARE SENT TO THE SECOND ROOM. FOR ANY SOURCE YOU WISH TO LISTEN TO IN THE
SECOND ROOM, YOU MUST CONNECT THE ANALOG OUTPUT FROM THE SOURCE TO THE CORRESPONDING ANA-
LOG INPUT ON THIS UNIT.
Connections
To use the multi-room functions of this unit, you need the following additional equipment:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second room
• An infrared emitter in the main room
This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second room to the main room (for example, to a CD player or LD
player).
• An amplifier and speakers for the second room
• A video monitor for the second room
Cautions
• Since there are so many ways to connect and use this unit in a
multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult with a
custom installation specialist for the Zone 2 connections which
will best meet your requirements.
• Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the RE-
MOTE 1 OUT jacks of this unit. If you own these products, you
may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six Yamaha
components can be connected as shown.
■ A sample of system configuration and connections
■ Special considerations when using DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to Zone 2, you will only be able to hear the digital
noise that could damage your loudspeakers.
Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.
For DTS encoded LDs or DVDs
Only 2-channel audio signals may be sent to Zone 2. Set your Laser Disc/DVD player’s left and right outputs to the analog sound track.
For DTS encoded compact discs
DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with DTS encoded compact discs.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
Understanding sound fields
A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a particular space”. In
concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations as well
as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and
other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special
and recognizable sound quality.
Yamaha sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound
reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field
information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections.
Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit.
■ Early reflections
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 80 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only — for
example, from the ceiling or a wall. These reflections provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct
sound.
■ Reverberations
These are caused by reflections from more than one surface — walls, ceiling, the back of the room — so numerous that they merge together
to form a continuous sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the clarity of the direct sound.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
Recreating a sound field
Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the
virtual sound sources in your listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only
two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. Yamaha’s DSP requires
four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The
processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect
speakers to localize the virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.
The DSP sound field programs can be classified in two types based on the sound field
processing method: programs that use early reflections only and programs that use both
early reflections and reverberation.
Illustration of the virtual sound sources and echo patterns
The virtual sound sources and echo patterns for the DSP sound field programs are shown below. The illustration of the virtual sound sources
shows early reflection sound only and the illustration of the echo patterns shows both reflected sound and reverberation.

HI-FI DSP-SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
Programs and features
• These programs are the most suitable for the stereo music sources such as CDs.
• Sound field is created using four effect speakers (front L, front R, rear L and rear R) in addition to the main speakers.
• When “8ch Stereo” is selected, input signals are output from the all speakers that have been set on the SET MENU.
• Appropriate decoders automatically turn on depending on the input signals.
Caution
• The sound field programs for this unit are designed based upon the detailed information that Yamaha sound engineers have collected by
measuring the sound effect characteristics at the actual concert halls and music venues all over the world. Therefore you may find some
difference in reverberation and volume of the sounds that are output from each of your speakers.

CINEMA-DSP SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
The sound design of CINEMA-DSP sound field programs
Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and
the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen.
CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP integrates the DTS,
Dolby Digital, and DOLBY PRO LOGIC surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide the surround
sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, Yamaha’s
exclusive DSP processing is added to the front left, center, and right channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound,
smooth transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.
When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound
field program for that signal.
Sound field images of the CINEMA-DSP programs
Each CINEMA-DSP program has its own type of sound field processing block. The sound field data, including the presence and surround
sound fields, are based on actual measured data. The presence and surround sound fields can be expressed in the distribution of virtual sound
sources and echo patterns. However, as these two types of sound fields are processed with complex elements such as energy balance and
mixing signal ratios, they are expressed as a sound field based on auditory perception.

CINEMA-DSP SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
MOVIE THEATER programs
Most movie software has four-channel (left, center, right and surround) sound information encoded using Dolby Surround matrix processing
and stored on the left and right tracks. These signals are processed by the DOLBY PRO LOGIC decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs
are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes.
The six-channel soundtracks found on 70 mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix
processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER 70 mm Programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that six-channel
soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital decoder brings the professional quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With
this unit’s MOVIE THEATER program, you can recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your
living room using the Dolby Digital technology.
■ DOLBY PRO LOGIC + DSP sound field effect
These programs express an immense sound field and a large surround effect. They also
give depth to the sound from the main speakers to recreate the realistic sound of a Dolby
Stereo theater.
• 70mm Spectacle
• 70mm Sci-Fi
• 70mm Adventure
• 70mm General
■ Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect
These programs use Yamaha’s tri-field DSP process on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS
signals for the front, left surround, and right surround channels. This processing enables
this unit to reproduce the immense sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital
or DTS equipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear separation of all channels.

This program is for reproducing sounds from 70 mm and multichan-
nel soundtrack films, and is characterized by a soft and extensive
sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It
spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the
effect of conversations without losing clarity.
DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS SURROUND
■ Normal/EX/DTS-ES/ES Matrix 6.1/ES Dis-
crete 6.1
The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects
from sources. The highly efficient decoding process improves
crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound positioning
smoother and more precise.
In this program, no DSP effect is applied.
■ Enhanced/EX/ES
This program ideally simulates the multiple surround speaker
systems of 35 mm film theaters. The Dolby Surround decoding and
the digital sound field processing create precise effects without
altering the original sound orientation. The surround effects
produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from
the back to the left and right and toward the screen.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all
of the following parameters are found in every program.
■ EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim)
Function This parameter adjusts the level of all the effect sounds within a narrow range.
Control range –3 dB – +3 dB
Description Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the effect level relative to the
direct sound.
■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)
Function This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and
the first reflection heard by the listener.
Control range 1 – 99 ms
Description The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the apparent
distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, for a large room, set it to a large value.
■ ROOM SIZE/P. ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field
Function This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound
field becomes.
Control range 0.1 – 2.0
Description As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original reflected
sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the apparent
size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
■ LIVENESS
Function This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections
decay.
Control range 0 – 10
Description The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one
which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead,” while a room
with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay
rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room.
■ P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)
Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the presence sound field.
Control range 1 – 99 ms
Description The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.
■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)
Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the sound field.
You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two rear channels are used.
Control range 1 – 49 ms
Description The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. You can only adjust this parameter for the Dolby Digital and DTS
signals.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
■ S. DELAY (Surround Delay)
Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround sound field.
Control range 0 – 49 ms (The range depends on the signal format.)
Description When Dolby Digital signals are decoded: the larger the parameter, the later the surround sound source begins.
When a non-Dolby Digital program is decoded: the larger the parameter, the later the surround sound field begins.
No surround sound source is produced.
■ S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)
Function This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field.
Control range 0.1 – 2.0
Description The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes.
■ S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)
Function This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.
Control range 0 – 10
Description The larger the value, the more reflective the surround sound field walls become.
■ RC INI. DLY (Rear Center Initial Delay)
Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the rear center sound field.
Control range 1 – 49 ms
Description The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.
■ RC ROOM SIZE (Rear Center Room Size)
Function This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the rear center sound field.
Control range 0.1 – 2.0
Description The larger the value, the more reflective the presence sound field walls become.
■ RC LIVENESS (Rear Center Liveness)
Function This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the rear center sound field.
Control range 0 – 10
Description The larger the value, the more reflective the surround sound field walls become.

■ REV. TIME (Reverberation Time)
Function This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1
kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.
Control range 1.0 – 5.0 s
Description Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments and a shorter time for “live” sources
and listening room environments.
■ REV. DELAY (Reverberation Delay)
Function This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverbera-
tion sound.
Control range 0 – 250 ms
Description The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like you are in a
larger acoustic environment.
■ REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level)
Function This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.
Control range 0 – 100%
