PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified

on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that

which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or

other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not

be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of

this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

■ The sound level at a given volume setting depends on

speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken

to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which

may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control

setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.

■ Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in

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.

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

control. This always assures you the best performance

without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This unit designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a

center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4-

Speaker Configuration” shown below.)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and

surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Speaker configuration

(1)5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended

one. In this configuration, the center speaker is

necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field

program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO is

selected, conversations will be output from the center

speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

● Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL”

position. (For details, refer to page 12.)

(2)4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the

sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the

center sound is output from the left and the right front

speakers, although the program DOLBY 3 STEREO is

useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect

of other programs can be the same as that of the 5-

speaker configuration.

● Be sure to set the center channel mode to the

“PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 12.)

Note

Be sure to use two rear speakers. If you connect one rear

speaker only, sound will not be output from the rear speaker.

Speaker placement

Front speakers: In normal position.

Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing

slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx.

six feet) up from the floor.

Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers.

Antenna connection

(1) Supplied FM antenna

Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal

and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction where the

strongest signal can be received.

(2) Supplied AM loop antenna

Connect the AM loop antenna wires to the corresponding

terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum

reception. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf etc., or

install it on the rack or wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes

•

When static is still heard even after adjusting the position

of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections

(from the upper terminal to the lower terminal, and vice

versa).

•

Do not place the AM loop antenna on the unit. It will result

in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital

electronics. Place the AM loop antenna away from the

unit.

(3) External FM antenna

Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM

label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do

not mark this surface.

•

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and

excessive moisture.

•

Always hold the discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or

water on the discs can cause noise or mistracking. If a

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance

between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in

test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the

sound output level heard at the listening position will be the

same from each speaker. This is important for the best

performance of the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.

The adjustment of each speaker output level should be

done at your listening position with the remote control

transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

Select this position when you do not use the center

speaker. The center sound will be output from the left

and right front speakers.

1 Press the POWER switch to turn the power on.

2 Turn the VOLUME control fully counterclockwise to

decrease the volume to minimum.

3 Press the PROGRAM button once or more so that “

PRO LOGIC” lights up on the sound field program

indicator.

4 Press the TEST button.

stop after searching all frequencies.

* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may be a

case that 40 preset stations are occupied by FM

stations only.

•

With this function, only stations with sufficient signal

strength are stored automatically. If the station you want

to program is weak in signal strength, tune in to it with the

Manual tuning method (in monaural) and program it by

following the procedure of the section “To store stations”

on the previous page.

•

You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM

station manually by simply following the procedure of the

The Sound Field Processor built into this unit presents you with the ambience of an actual concert hall etc. by adding effects as

sonic reflections or reberverations that create the sound environment of a hall etc. This unit provides preset sound field programs

shown below. You can enjoy an excellent audio sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.

This unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video

sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field

program.

FEATURE

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.

Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the

dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater.

This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for

sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this

program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the

dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output

from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear

speakers.

In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the front speakers, creating an expansive

large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.

This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many

reflections of high frequencies.

These are audio output modes useful for singing Karaoke. (Refer to page 36 for details.)

descriptions on page 33–34.)

Notes

● When HALL or ARENA is selected, no sound is heard

from the center speaker.

● When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY

PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO, no sound is heard

from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is

heard only from the center speaker. For DOLBY PRO

LOGIC only, however, if the center channel mode is in

“PHANTOM”, the front speakers output the sound of the

center channel.

the same in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY 3

STEREO programs.

● If the center channel mode is in the “PHANTOM” position,

the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be

adjusted. This is because in this mode, the center sound

is automatically output from the left and right front

speakers.

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. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment. 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.

You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.). Speaker configuration (1) Front L Center (1) 5-Speaker Configuration Front R This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent. ● Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” position. (For details, refer to page 12.) Dialogue Surround sound Rear R Rear L (2) 4-Speaker Configuration (2) Front L The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers, although the program DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5speaker configuration. ● Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 12.) Front R Dialogue Surround sound Rear L Note Be sure to use two rear speakers. If you connect one rear speaker only, sound will not be output from the rear speaker.

LISTENING WITH HEADPHONES (See figure C on page 8.) • • Be sure that your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8”) diameter plug and are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms impedance. Recommended impedance is 32 ohms. When headphones are connected, the speakers are defeated automatically and you can listen to the sound to be output from the front speakers through headphones. Adjust the VOLUME control for desired volume. CARE OF VIDEO CDS (CDS) Discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your disc collection and player. • Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the nonlabel side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark this surface. • Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and excessive moisture. • Always hold the discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or water on the discs can cause noise or mistracking. If a disc is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius. E-11 English ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAY SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT CENTER MODE TV MODE FREQU 100kHz 50kHz NORMAL AUTO This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.
