SPEAKER SETUP

Since CINEMA DSP and THX are different surround

post-processing technologies, we recommend the

following speaker setup in order to enjoy the best surround

sound of each technology.

■ CINEMA DSP speaker layout

The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R speaker

setup. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel

audio sources and THX.

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound.

Place these speakers an equal distance from the ideal

listening position. The distance of each speaker from each

side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds

(dialog, vocals, etc.). Align the front face of the center

speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place

the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as

close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or

under it.

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround

sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above

the floor.

Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround

speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back

transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the

listening position and at the same height as the surround

speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in.)

apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width

as the front speakers.

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active

Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only

for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,

but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low-

frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and

DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so

critical, because low bass sounds are not highly

directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the

front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the

room to reduce wall reflections.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)

Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front

speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA

DSP (see page 38). These effects include sounds that

filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the

screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place

these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m

(1 - 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly

inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

SPEAKER SETUP

PREPARATION

■ Di-pole speaker layout

Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used

for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please

place the surround and surround back speakers according

to the speaker layout below.

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),

“+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are

faulty, no sound can be heard from the speakers, and if the

polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound

will be unnatural and lack bass.

• If you intend to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set this

unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before

using (see page 28).

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this

unit’s power is off.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or

any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit

and/or the speakers.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of

speaker still creates interference with the monitor,

place the speakers away from the monitor.

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables

running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped

differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.

Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red)

terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain

cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together

to prevent short circuits.

3 Unscrew the knob.

The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for screwing

or unscrewing knobs.

4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

Banana plug connections

(With the exception of U.K. and Europe models)

First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug

connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

SPEAKER SETUP

PREPARATION

■ FRONT terminals

Connect one or two speaker systems to these terminals. If

you use only one speaker system, connect it to either of

the FRONT A or B terminals.

The Canada model cannot output to two separate speaker systems

simultaneously.

Bi-wired connection

The unit also allows you to make bi-wired connections to

one speaker system. Use two pairs of speaker cables for

each speaker (one pair for the woofer and one pair for the

tweeter/mid-range). To use the bi-wired connections, press

SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B on the front panel so

that both SP A and B light up on the front panel display.

■ CENTER terminals

Connect a center speaker to these terminals.

■ SURROUND terminals

Connect a surround speaker system to these terminals.

■ SUBWOOFER jacks

Connect one or two subwoofer(s) with built-in amplifier,

such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing

Subwoofer System, to the jack(s).

■ SURROUND BACK terminals

Connect a surround back speaker system to these

terminals. If you only connect one surround back speaker,

connect it to the left (L) terminals.

■ PRESENCE/ZONE 2 terminals

Connect presence speakers to these terminals. You can

also use these terminals for connecting Zone 2 speakers

(see page 94).

The presence speakers output ambient effects created by the DSP

sound fields. They do not output sound when other sound fields

are selected.

Note

CONNECTIONS

Do not connect this unit or other components to the mains

power until all connections between components are

completed.

■ Signal directions and cable indications

■ Analog jacks

You can input analog signals from audio components by

connecting an audio pin cable to each of this unit’s analog

jacks. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs

to the left jacks.

■ Digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital

signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You

can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and

DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both

the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to

the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. COAXIAL

jacks are compatible with digital signals with sampling

frequencies up to 192 kHz, and OPTICAL jacks with

sampling frequencies up to 96 kHz.

This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus,

audio signals input to the analog jacks are only output to the

analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input to the

digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output to the

DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

■ i.LINK jacks

This unit can be connected with i.LINK equipped

components using 4-pin, S400 i.LINK cables. This

connection enables you to send and receive digital audio at

high speed and with high fidelity.

■ Video jacks

This unit has three types of video jacks. The signals input

through any type of VIDEO IN jack can be output through

any of the VIDEO (MONITOR OUT) jacks (automatic

video conversion).

VIDEO jack

For conventional composite video signals.

S VIDEO jack

For S video signals, separated into luminance (Y) and

color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color

reproduction.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

For component signals, separated into luminance (Y)

and color difference (P

B, PR) to provide the best quality

in picture reproduction.

• When signals are input simultaneously through the

COMPONENT VIDEO, S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks, the input

priority is as follows: COMPONENT VIDEO, S VIDEO then

VIDEO.

• Video signal conversion is only possible for signals input

through the COMPONENT VIDEO jack when Resolution is set

to 480i/576i. Signals will not be converted when Resolution is

set to 480p/576p, 720p or 1080i (see page 72).

AUTO SETUP

English

PREPARATION

This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic

Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you avoid

troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves

highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied

optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound

your speakers produce in your actual listening

environment.

• Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be

output during the auto setup procedure.

• If auto setup stops and an error message(s) appear on the GUI

display, follow the troubleshooting on page 35.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes

appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible

sound from your system.

Wiring

Checks the polarity of each speaker.

Distance

Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening

position and adjusts the timing of each channel.

Size

Checks the speaker’s frequency response and sets the

appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel.

Equalizing

Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric

equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and

create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly

important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers

for some channels or have a room with unique sonic

characteristics.

YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three

parameters (Frequency, Level and Q factor) for each of the

10 bands in its parametric equalizer (plus 5 subwoofer

bands) to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of

frequency characteristics.

Level

Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each

speaker.

1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone

to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front

panel.

After you have completed the auto setup procedure, be sure to

disconnect the optimizer microphone. If it is left connected to this

unit, no sound will be output from the speakers.

2 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat

level surface with the omni-directional

microphone head upward, at your normal

listening position.

* If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer

microphone at the same height as your ears would

be when you are seated in your listening position.

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from

records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may

infringe copyright laws.

• Dolby Digital RF signals are not output from the DIGITAL

OUTPUT jacks.

• Signals input through an i.LINK connection are only output to

the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks when REC OUT/ZONE 2 is set

to SOURCE/REMOTE (priority is given to input signals from

the OPTICAL and COAXIAL jacks).

• Audio signals from CD or DVD video discs input through an

i.LINK connection are only output if they come un-encrypted

from the playback device. In other words, copy-protected

signals input through an i.LINK connection will not be output

to the REC OUT jacks.

OPERATION

■ 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 instructions to make a setting so that the analog

signal is output from the player.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

The macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations with the press of a single 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 of these operations simply by pressing the CD macro button.

The buttons listed as macro buttons below are factory set with macro programs. You can also program your own macros

(see page 85).

You can turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit by connecting them to the AC

OUTLET(S) on the rear panel of this unit. (Power control may not be synchronized with this unit depending on the component. For

details, refer to the operation instructions for the connected component.)

Playback can be started for any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorder, CD player, CD recorder, DVD player, or LD

player. When using macros to operate other components, you will need to program the PLAY button on the control area of that

component (see pages 82 and 83) or set a manufacturer code (see page 81).

When TUNER is selected as the input source, YAMAHA tuners will play the last station received before the unit was set to the

standby mode.

OPERATION

■ Macro operations

1 Set MACRO ON/OFF to ON.

2 Press a macro button.

• When you have finished using the macro feature, set MACRO

ON/OFF to OFF.

• While the remote is carrying out a macro program, it will not

accept any other button’s function until the macro operation is

complete (the TRANSMIT indicator stops flashing).

• Continue to aim the remote control at the component the macro

is operating until the macro operation is complete.

■ Programming macro operations

You can program your own macros and use the macro

feature to transmit several remote control commands in

sequence at the press of a button. Be sure to set up

manufacturer codes or perform learning operations before

programming the macro. We do not recommend

programming continuous operations such as volume

control in a macro.

• The default macro is not cleared when a new macro is

programmed for a button. The default macro can be used again

when the programmed macro is cleared.

• It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the default

macro. Programming a macro changes all macro contents.

1 Press MACRO using a ballpoint pen or

similar object.

“MCR ?” appears in the display window.

Complete each of the following steps within 30 seconds.

Otherwise, the learning mode is automatically canceled. In

this case, press MACRO again.

2 Press the macro button you want to use to

operate the macro.

The macro button name and the selected component

name appear alternately in the display window.

• “AGAIN” appears in the display window if you press a button other

than a macro button.

• To change the selected source component, press SOURCE SELECT

k/n. Pressing the input selector buttons will program a macro step,

whereas SOURCE SELECT k/n only changes the selected

component and corresponding component control area.

3 Press the buttons for the functions you want

to include in the macro operation in

sequence.

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.

“NG” appears in the display window if programming was

unsuccessful. In this case, start over from step 2.

ZONE 2

English

ADVANCED

OPERATION

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio-video system. The Zone 2 feature enables you to set this unit to

reproduce separate input sources in the main room and second room (Zone 2) using the supplied remote control from the

second room.

You need the following additional equipment to use this unit’s multi-room functions:

• An amplifier and speakers for the second room.

• A video monitor for the second room.

• Since there are a number of ways you can connect and use this

unit in a multi-room installation, we recommend that you

consult your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service

center for the Zone 2 connections that best meet your

requirements.

• Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to this

unit’s REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack. If you own these types

of products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to

6 YAMAHA components can be connected as shown here.

■ System configuration and connection example

Using external amplifiers

To use an external amplifier in Zone 2, select External in ZONE2 AMP.

• When not using the main room, turn down the volume of this unit in the main room. Adjust the Zone 2 volume using the amplifier in

the second room.

• To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

• Dolby Digital RF signals and signals input through an i.LINK connection are not output from ZONE 2 COAXIAL OUT. Further, the

Zone 2 volume setting does not apply to signals output from ZONE 2 COAXIAL OUT (i.e., input signals are output at the same

volume they are input).

can turn the main unit and Zone 2 to on/standby

simultaneously.

“MAIN” appears for a few seconds when SYSTEM POWER

or STANDBY is pressed.

■ Special considerations for DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to

send the DTS signal to the second room you will only hear

digital noise (that may damage your speakers). Thus, the

following considerations and adjustments need to be made

when playing DTS encoded discs.

For LDs or DVDs encoded with DTS

Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the

second/third room.

• for LDs: Set your LD player’s left and right outputs to

the analog soundtrack.

• for DVDs: Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s

mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to the

PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

For CDs encoded in DTS

To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2

feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

USING I.LINK

This unit is fitted with two i.LINK (AUDIO) connectors.

By connecting components that support i.LINK (AUDIO)

connections, in addition to digital transmission of 2-ch

linear PCM signals and audio signals that have been

compressed in multi-channel format, you can also send

and receive uncompressed multi-channel audio signals,

such as DVD audio and Super Audio CD signals for which

digital transmission was not previously possible.

i.LINK is a high-speed and bi-directional digital interface

in compliance with the IEEE1394 international standard.

• This unit supports i.LINK (AUDIO) for digital

transmission of conventional 2-channel PCM signals

and compressed multi-channel audio signals, as well as

DVD audio (multi-channel PCM) and Super Audio CD

(DSD) multi-channel audio signals using a single

IEEE1394 cable connected from an i-LINK (AUDIO)-

compatible component.

• The i.LINK transmission format supports the A&M

Protocol (Audio and Music Data Transmission

Protocol).

• i.LINK supports transmission speeds up to S400.

• Because i.LINK supports DTCP (Digital Transmission

Content Protection), digital audio signals can be

transmitted without any degradation in signal quality.

You can connect i.LINK-compatible devices to this unit

using either the daisy chain or tree connections.

■ Daisy chain connections

Use to link components together in a single chain. You can

link up to 17 different components (including this unit)

with this method.

■ Tree connections

Use to link components in a branched configuration when

3 or more i.LINK connectors are available. You can link

up to 63 different components (including this unit) with

this method.

• When making connections, use a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable that

supports the S400 transmission speed. We also recommend

using a cable less than 3.0 m (12 ft) in length.

• This unit supports hot plugging, a function that allows you to

disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable while the power is

turned on.

• The system will not work if components are connected in a loop

(where the output signal is returned to the original component).

When connecting multiple i.LINK components, be sure not to

connect them in a loop. If a loop connection is detected, the

message “Loop Connection” is displayed on this unit’s front

panel display. If this happens, disconnect the IEEE1394 cable,

and use a recommended connection method.

• Do not disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable from this unit

or other i.LINK components while data is being transferred.

Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.

• When connecting the IEEE1394 cable to this unit’s i.LINK

connectors, be sure to confirm the orientation of the connector

before connecting the cable. Using excessive force to connect

the cable to the connector in the wrong orientation will damage

the connector.

USING i.LINK

What is i.LINK?

This unit’s i.LINK interface was based on the

following design standards:

• IEEE Std 1394a-2000 (Standard for a High

Performance Serial Bus)

• Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.0

This unit’s i.LINK interface supports the following

AM824 sequence adaptation layers: IEC60958

bitstream, DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD.

USING i.LINK

ADVANCED

OPERATION

When an i.LINK component is connected, this unit

automatically recognizes the connection and registers the

connected component. Registered i.LINK components,

such as CD or DVD players, can be assigned to a specific

input. Assigning an i.LINK component to a specific input

allows you to select the video input signals from that

component together with the audio signals received via the

i.LINK connection for simultaneous playback.

• If you connect an i.LINK component that does not support

i.LINK (AUDIO), or an i.LINK component that does not

support audio signal transmission, the connected component

will be registered with this unit, but cannot be assigned to a

specific input.

• i.LINK components without a vendor or model name, such as

IEEE1394 repeater/hub, are not registered.

1 Turn on the power for this unit and the

connected i.LINK component.

The i.LINK component is automatically recognized.

“Link Check” flashes on the front panel display

during this procedure.

After the i.LINK component is recognized, the name (model

number) and name of the assigned input are displayed.

2 Rotate INPUT SELECTOR to select the input

to which you want to assign the i.LINK

component.

3 After selecting, press PURE DIRECT to

complete the assignment.

If two or more i.LINK components are connected

simultaneously, repeat steps 2 and 3 to assign input

for the other i.LINK components.

• If you do not want to assign a specific input, select

“MULTI CH” in step 2, then press PURE DIRECT. If you do

this, the i.LINK component is assigned to MULTI CH INPUT.

Even after you assign the i.LINK component to a specific input,

you can still use MULTI CH INPUT to select i.LINK (AUDIO)

components using INPUT SELECTOR.

• After recognition in step 1 is complete, the i.LINK component

is automatically assigned to MULTI CH INPUT if no operation

is performed within 10 seconds.

• You can change the input assignment using the i.LINK Select

menu (see page 99).

Perform the following steps to listen to playback from a

registered i.LINK component.

If the i.LINK component has been assigned to a

specific input

1 Rotate INPUT SELECTOR to select the input

assigned to the i.LINK component.

2 Press INPUT MODE repeatedly to set “Auto”

or “i.LINK” as the input mode.

3 Start playback on the connected i.LINK

component.

Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the

component.

SOUND FIELD OPTIONS

101

English

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In

addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape

of the room in which we are sitting.

■ Elements of a sound field

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two

distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field:

Early reflections

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one

surface only — for example, from the ceiling or a wall. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations

These are caused by reflections from more than one surface — walls, ceiling, the back of the room — so numerous that

they merge together to form a continuous sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the clarity of the direct

sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and

shape of the room, and it is this information that the digital sound field processor reproduces in order to create sound

fields.

If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be

able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a

dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what YAMAHA has done

with the digital sound field processor.

SOUND FIELD OPTIONS

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field

parameters so that the sound fields are recreated

accurately in your listening room. The following

parameters are not always found in every program.

1 Press TOP on the GUI remote.

2 Select Stereo/Surround, then press h.

3 Select the desired sound field program, then

press h to access and adjust.

■ DSP Level (DSP level)

This parameter adjusts the level of all DSP effect sounds

within a narrow range. Depending on the acoustics of your

listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the

DSP effect level relative to the level of direct sound.

Control range: –6 dB – +3 dB

■ Init. Delay (Initial delay)

This parameter changes the apparent distance from the

source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct

sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The

smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the

listener. The larger the value, the farther it seems. For a

small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a

large value.

Control range: 1

– 99 msec

■ Room Size (Room size)

This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the sound field.

The larger the value, the larger the sound field becomes.

As sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger

that room 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.

SOUND FIELD OPTIONS

■ Liveness (Liveness)

This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls

in the hall by changing the rate at which the early

reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source

decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent

wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective

surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is

referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective

surfaces is referred to as “live”. The Liveness parameter

lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the

“liveness” of the room.

Control range: 0 – 10

■ Dialogue Lift (Dialog lift)

This parameter adjusts the height of the front and center

channel sounds by assigning some of the front and center

channel elements to the presence speakers. The larger the

parameter, the higher the position of the front and center

channel sound.

Choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

■ Rev. Time (Reverberation time)

This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the

dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB

(at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic

environment over an extremely wide range. Set a longer

reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room

environments, and a shorter time for “live” sources and

listening room environments.

PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER INFORMATION

112

This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic

Optimizer (YPAO) technology to optimize the frequency

characteristics of its parametric equalizer to match your

listening environment. YPAO uses a combination of the

following three parameters (Frequency, Level and Q

factor) to provide highly precise adjustment of the

frequency characteristics.

■ Frequency

This parameter is adjustable in one-third octave

increments between 63 Hz and 16 kHz.

■ Level

This parameter is adjustable in increments of 0.5 dB

between –20 and +6 dB.

■ Q factor

The width of the specified frequency band is referred to as

the Q factor. This parameter is adjustable between the

values 0.5 and 10.

YPAO adjusts frequency characteristics to suit your

listening requirements using a combination of the above

three parameters (Frequency, Level and Q factor) for each

equalizer band in this unit’s parametric equalizer. This unit

has 10 equalizer bands for each channel (plus 5 subwoofer

bands).

The use of multiple equalizer bands enables more precise

adjustments of frequency characteristics (as in Figure 2).

This is not possible using only a single equalizer band (as

in Figure 1).

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system

to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front

left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog

(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound

effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces

sound within a narrow frequency range.

Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes

and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as

well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit

employs a digital signal processing system that

automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to

enhance moving sound effects and directionality.

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives

you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3

front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround

stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio

channels. With an additional channel especially for bass

effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has

a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By

using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more

accurate moving sound effects and surround sound

environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The

wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum

volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the

precise sound orientation generated using digital sound

processing provide listeners with previously unheard of

excitement and realism.

With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up

to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for

your enjoyment.

Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output

channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a

matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the

2 in the original recording. For the best results, Dolby

Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks

recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this

additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and

realistic moving sound especially with scenes with

“flyover” and “fly-around” effects.

■ Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to

decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software.

This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel

playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center

channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of

only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic

technology). The Music and Game modes are also

available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie

mode.

■ Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete

7.1-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel

sources. There is a Music mode for music, a Movie mode

for movies and a Game mode for games.

■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog

soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound

track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie

theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.

has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy

the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of

DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces

practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically,

left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus

an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1

channels). The unit incorporates DTS-ES decoder that

enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround

back channel to existing 5.1-channel format.

■ DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality

for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully

backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers

to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz

sampling rate). “24” refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/

24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24

master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-

motion video for music programs and motion picture

soundtracks on DVD-video.

GLOSSARY

■ 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.

■ LFE 0.1 channel

This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.

The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.

This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a

low frequency range compared to the full-range

reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in a Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1/6.1 channel systems.

■ CINEMA DSP

Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were

originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect

is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed

for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room

size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can

differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in

the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth of actually

measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses

YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine

Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to

provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater

in the listening room of your own home.

■ SILENT CINEMA DSP

YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect

DSP algorithm for headphones.

Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound

field so that accurate representations of all the sound field

programs can be enjoyed on headphones.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP

YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP

algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field

surround effects even without any surround speakers by

using virtual surround speakers.

It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a

minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center

speaker.

■ Composite Video signal

With the composite video signal system, the video signal

is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;

color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite

video jack on a video component transmits these three

elements combined.

■ S VIDEO signal

With the S VIDEO signal system, the video signal

normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and

transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C

signal for the chrominance through the S VIDEO cable.

Using the S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal

transmission loss and allows recording and playback of

even more beautiful images.

■ Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal

is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the P

and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be

reproduced more faithfully with this system because each

of these signals is independent. The component signal is

also called the “color difference signal” because the

luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.

A monitor with component input jacks is required in order

to use the component signal for output.

■ PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog

audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without

using any compression. This is used as a method of

recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a

technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per

very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code

modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and

then modulated for recording.

■ Sampling frequency and number of

quantized bits

When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of

times the signal is sampled per second is called the

sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when

converting the sound level into a numeric value is called

the number of quantized bits.

The range of rates that can be played back is determined

based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range

representing the sound level difference is determined by

the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the

sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies

that can be played back, and the higher the number of

quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be

reproduced.

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

■ THX Cinema processing

THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies

established by the world-renowned film production

company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’

personal desire to make your experience of the film

soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home

theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director

intended.

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres

called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back

in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions.

This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto

Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for

playback in a small home theatre environment.

THX engineers developed patented technologies to

accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre

environment into the home, correcting the tonal and

spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX

indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in

Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).

■ Re-Equalization

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively

bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment

in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be

played back in large movie theatres using very different

professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the

correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a

small home environment.

■ Timbre Matching

The human ear changes our perception of a sound

depending on the direction from which the sound is

coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of surround

speakers so that the surround information is all around

you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located

to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature

filters the information going to the surround speakers so

that they more closely match the tonal characteristics of

the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures

seamless panning between the front and surround

speakers.

■ Adaptive Decorrelation

In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers

help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but

in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This

can make the surround speakers sound like headphones

that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround

sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you

move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive

Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's

time and phase relationship with respect to the other

surround channel. This expands the listening position and

creates – with only two speakers – the same spacious

surround experience as in a movie theatre.

■ A.S.A. (Advanced Speaker Array)

ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes

the sound fed to 2 surround and 2 surround back speakers

to provide the optimal surround sound experience. When

you set up your home theater system using all eight

speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right,

Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left

and Subwoofer), placing the two Surround Back speakers

close together facing the front of the room as shown in the

diagram will provide the largest sweet spot. If for practical

reasons you have to place the Surround Back speakers

apart, you will need to go to the THX Audio Set-up screen

and choose the setting that most closely corresponds to the

speaker distance, which will re-optimize the surround

sound field. ASA is used in two new surround modes;

THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music Mode.

■ THX ULTRA2 CINEMA MODE

THX Ultra2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8

speakers giving you the best possible movie watching

experience. In this mode, ASA processing blends the side

surround speakers and back surround speakers providing

the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround

sounds. This mode permits the playback of a non

Surround EX/ES encoded 5.1 movie to be played back

over a 7.1 system. DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and

Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be

automatically detected, if the appropriate flag has been

encoded. Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks

are missing the digital flag that allows automatic

switching. If you know that the movie that you are

watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually

select the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise

THX Ultra2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to

provide optimum replay.

GLOSSARY

■ THX MUSIC MODE

For the replay of multi-channel music the THX Music

Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA

processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1

encoded music sources such as DTS, and Dolby Digital to

provide a wide stable rear soundstage. This mode is to be

used with multi-channel music sources such as DTS 5.1

music and Dolby Digital 5.1 music.

■ B.G.C. (Boundary Gain Compensation)

If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or

aesthetic reasons) results in most of the listeners being

close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level can be

sufficiently reinforced by the boundary that the overall

sound quality becomes ‘boomy’. THX Ultra2 receivers

contain the BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation) feature

to provide an improved bass balance. BGC can be selected

by choosing ‘On’ from the ‘BGC’ section of the ‘THX

Set’ setup menu.

■ THX Ultra2

Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra2

certified, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and

performance tests. Only then can a product feature the

THX Ultra2 logo, which is your guarantee that the Home

Theatre products you purchase will give you superb

performance for many years to come. The THX Ultra2

specification provides uncompromised eight-channel

playback of any multi-channel program, whether movie

soundtracks or music over the widest possible seating

area. In addition, all Ultra2 controllers and receivers

incorporate video switching capable of handling all wide-

bandwidth sources, including HDTV and progressive scan

DVD, without degrading the picture.

■ THX Surround EX

THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint

development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been

encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are

able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added

during the mixing of the program. This channel, called

Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in

addition to the currently available front left, front center,

front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer

channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity

for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings

more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization

than ever before.

Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital

Surround EX technology, when released into the home

consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the

packaging. A list of movies created using this technology

can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com. A

list of available DVD software titles encoded with this

technology can be found at www.thx.com.

Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX

Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode,

faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.

This product may also engage the THX Surround EX

mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is

not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the

information delivered to the Surround Back channel is

program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing

depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of

the individual listener.

■ ITU-R

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU

(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R

recommends a standard speaker placement which is used

in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering

purposes.

Place these speakers directly behind the listening position and at the same height as the surround speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in.) apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width as the front speakers. Subwoofer more than 30 cm (12 in.) y The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R speaker setup. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX. 1.8 m (6 ft) 1.8 m (6 ft) Front speakers (FR and FL) The front speakers are used for the main source sound. Place these speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same. 12 The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor. Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL) 30˚ SL The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it. The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections. Presence speakers (PR and PL) Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP (see page 38). These effects include sounds that filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor. 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 13 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM SPEAKER SETUP ■ Di-pole speaker layout Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please place the surround and surround back speakers according to the speaker layout below. FL C A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals. FR 10 mm (3/8") 1 SR SBL 1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from each of the speaker cables. 2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits. 3 Unscrew the knob. SBR : Di-pole speaker y : Direction of di-pole speaker The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for screwing or unscrewing knobs. 4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side of each terminal. 5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire. Speaker connections Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no sound can be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. • • • • CAUTION If you intend to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 28). Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit’s power is off. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers. Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor. PREPARATION SL 2 5 4 3 Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–) Speaker terminal wrench Banana plug connections (With the exception of U.K. and Europe models) First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening environment. Optimizer microphone setup TONE CONTROL EFFECT PHONO DVR VIDEO AUX SILENT Notes PHONES VIDEO AUX OPTIMIZER MIC S VIDEO VIDEO L AUDIO R OPTICAL • Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output during the auto setup procedure. • If auto setup stops and an error message(s) appear on the GUI display, follow the troubleshooting on page 35. YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system. Wiring Checks the polarity of each speaker. Distance Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the timing of each channel. Size Checks the speaker’s frequency response and sets the appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel. Note After you have completed the auto setup procedure, be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone. If it is left connected to this unit, no sound will be output from the speakers. 2 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat level surface with the omni-directional microphone head upward, at your normal listening position. * If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position. Equalizing Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel’s parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique sonic characteristics. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (Frequency, Level and Q factor) for each of the 10 bands in its parametric equalizer (plus 5 subwoofer bands) to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics. Optimizer microphone position Level Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each speaker.

English 95 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 96 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM USING I.LINK USING i.LINK This unit is fitted with two i.LINK (AUDIO) connectors. By connecting components that support i.LINK (AUDIO) connections, in addition to digital transmission of 2-ch linear PCM signals and audio signals that have been compressed in multi-channel format, you can also send and receive uncompressed multi-channel audio signals, such as DVD audio and Super Audio CD signals for which digital transmission was not previously possible. What is i.LINK? i.LINK is a high-speed and bi-directional digital interface in compliance with the IEEE1394 international standard. • This unit supports i.LINK (AUDIO) for digital transmission of conventional 2-channel PCM signals and compressed multi-channel audio signals, as well as DVD audio (multi-channel PCM) and Super Audio CD (DSD) multi-channel audio signals using a single IEEE1394 cable connected from an i-LINK (AUDIO)compatible component. • The i.LINK transmission format supports the A&M Protocol (Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol). • i.LINK supports transmission speeds up to S400. • Because i.LINK supports DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection), digital audio signals can be transmitted without any degradation in signal quality. This unit’s i.LINK interface was based on the following design standards: • IEEE Std 1394a-2000 (Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus) • Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.0 This unit’s i.LINK interface supports the following AM824 sequence adaptation layers: IEC60958 bitstream, DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. 96 Connecting i.LINK components You can connect i.LINK-compatible devices to this unit using either the daisy chain or tree connections. ■ Daisy chain connections Use to link components together in a single chain. You can link up to 17 different components (including this unit) with this method. i.LINK component i.LINK component i.LINK component ■ Tree connections Use to link components in a branched configuration when 3 or more i.LINK connectors are available. You can link up to 63 different components (including this unit) with this method. i.LINK component i.LINK component i.LINK component i.LINK component y • When making connections, use a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable that supports the S400 transmission speed. We also recommend using a cable less than 3.0 m (12 ft) in length. • This unit supports hot plugging, a function that allows you to disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable while the power is turned on. Notes • The system will not work if components are connected in a loop (where the output signal is returned to the original component). When connecting multiple i.LINK components, be sure not to connect them in a loop. If a loop connection is detected, the message “Loop Connection” is displayed on this unit’s front panel display. If this happens, disconnect the IEEE1394 cable, and use a recommended connection method. • Do not disconnect or connect the IEEE1394 cable from this unit or other i.LINK components while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise. • When connecting the IEEE1394 cable to this unit’s i.LINK connectors, be sure to confirm the orientation of the connector before connecting the cable. Using excessive force to connect the cable to the connector in the wrong orientation will damage the connector. 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 97 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM USING i.LINK Assigning i.LINK components When an i.LINK component is connected, this unit automatically recognizes the connection and registers the connected component. Registered i.LINK components, such as CD or DVD players, can be assigned to a specific input. Assigning an i.LINK component to a specific input allows you to select the video input signals from that component together with the audio signals received via the i.LINK connection for simultaneous playback. Notes • If you connect an i.LINK component that does not support i.LINK (AUDIO), or an i.LINK component that does not support audio signal transmission, the connected component will be registered with this unit, but cannot be assigned to a specific input. • i.LINK components without a vendor or model name, such as IEEE1394 repeater/hub, are not registered.

If two or more i.LINK components are connected simultaneously, repeat steps 2 and 3 to assign input for the other i.LINK components. y • If you do not want to assign a specific input, select “MULTI CH” in step 2, then press PURE DIRECT. If you do this, the i.LINK component is assigned to MULTI CH INPUT. Even after you assign the i.LINK component to a specific input, you can still use MULTI CH INPUT to select i.LINK (AUDIO) components using INPUT SELECTOR. • After recognition in step 1 is complete, the i.LINK component is automatically assigned to MULTI CH INPUT if no operation is performed within 10 seconds. • You can change the input assignment using the i.LINK Select menu (see page 99).

In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting. ■ Elements of a sound field In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field: Early reflections Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms – 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only — for example, from the ceiling or a wall. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound. Reverberations These are caused by reflections from more than one surface — walls, ceiling, the back of the room — so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen the clarity of the direct sound. Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this information that the digital sound field processor reproduces in order to create sound fields. If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field processor. ■ Sound field parameters (Stereo/Surround) Use to select and adjust sound field parameters.

The following parameters are not always found in every program. 1 Press TOP on the GUI remote. 2 Select Stereo/Surround, then press h. ■ Init. Delay (Initial delay) This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a large value. Control range: 1 – 99 msec Source sound Level Level Early reflections Time Time INIT. DLY INIT. DLY Sound source Reflection face 3 Large value = 99 ms Small value = 1 ms Select the desired sound field program, then press h to access and adjust. ■ Room Size (Room size) This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the sound field. The larger the value, the larger the sound field becomes. As sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger that room 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. Control range: 0.1 – 2.0 DSP Level (DSP level) Source sound Level This parameter adjusts the level of all DSP effect sounds within a narrow range. Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect level relative to the level of direct sound. Control range: –6 dB – +3 dB Level ■ Time ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Time Early reflections Sound source English Small value = 0.1 Large value = 2.0 103 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 104 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM SOUND FIELD OPTIONS ■ Liveness (Liveness) ■ Rev. Time (Reverberation time) This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The Liveness parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room. Control range: 0 – 10 This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time for “live” sources and listening room environments. Control range: 1.0 – 5.0 sec Reverberation Source sound Early reflections Source sound 60 dB 60 dB Dead REV.TIME Time Large reflected sound Small value = 0 Large value = 10 ■ Dialogue Lift (Dialog lift) This parameter adjusts the height of the front and center channel sounds by assigning some of the front and center channel elements to the presence speakers. The larger the parameter, the higher the position of the front and center channel sound. Choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 104 REV.TIME Time Short reverberation Small reflected sound Sound source Level Level Live Small value = 1.0 s Long reverberation Large value = 5.0 s 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 105 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM SOUND FIELD OPTIONS ■ Rev. Delay (Reverberation delay) ■ Sur. Delay (Surround delay) This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.

YPAO uses a combination of the following three parameters (Frequency, Level and Q factor) to provide highly precise adjustment of the frequency characteristics. ■ Q factor The width of the specified frequency band is referred to as the Q factor. This parameter is adjustable between the values 0.5 and 10. ■ Frequency This parameter is adjustable in one-third octave increments between 63 Hz and 16 kHz. ■ Level This parameter is adjustable in increments of 0.5 dB between –20 and +6 dB. YPAO adjusts frequency characteristics to suit your listening requirements using a combination of the above three parameters (Frequency, Level and Q factor) for each equalizer band in this unit’s parametric equalizer. This unit has 10 equalizer bands for each channel (plus 5 subwoofer bands). The use of multiple equalizer bands enables more precise adjustments of frequency characteristics (as in Figure 2). This is not possible using only a single equalizer band (as in Figure 1).

The surround channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to enhance moving sound effects and directionality. Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic technology). The Music and Game modes are also available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie mode. ■ Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the precise sound orientation generated using digital sound processing provide listeners with previously unheard of excitement and realism. With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for your enjoyment. Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the 2 in the original recording. For the best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially with scenes with “flyover” and “fly-around” effects. ■ Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete 7.1-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel sources. There is a Music mode for music, a Movie mode for movies and a Game mode for games. ■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital Surround DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc. has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1 channels). The unit incorporates DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround back channel to existing 5.1-channel format. ■ DTS 96/24 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz sampling rate). “24” refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/ 24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality fullmotion video for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video. English 113 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 114 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM GLOSSARY ■ Neo:6 ■ S VIDEO signal 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. With the S VIDEO signal system, the video signal normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the chrominance through the S VIDEO cable. Using the S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images. ■ LFE 0.1 channel This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1/6.1 channel systems. ■ CINEMA DSP Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater in the listening room of your own home. ■ SILENT CINEMA DSP YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed on headphones. ■ Virtual CINEMA DSP YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects even without any surround speakers by using virtual surround speakers. It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center speaker. ■ Composite Video signal With the composite video signal system, the video signal is composed of three basic elements of a video picture; color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite video jack on a video component transmits these three elements combined. 114 ■ Component video signal With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is independent. The component signal is also called the “color difference signal” because the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to use the component signal for output. ■ PCM (Linear PCM) Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without using any compression. This is used as a method of recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and then modulated for recording. ■ Sampling frequency and number of quantized bits When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric value is called the number of quantized bits. The range of rates that can be played back is determined based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range representing the sound level difference is determined by the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies that can be played back, and the higher the number of quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be reproduced. 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 115 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM GLOSSARY ■ THX Cinema processing ■ Adaptive Decorrelation THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theatre environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX). In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This expands the listening position and creates – with only two speakers – the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre. ■ Re-Equalization The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theatres using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a small home environment. ■ Timbre Matching The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers. ■ A.S.A. (Advanced Speaker Array) ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed to 2 surround and 2 surround back speakers to provide the optimal surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer), placing the two Surround Back speakers close together facing the front of the room as shown in the diagram will provide the largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to place the Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to go to the THX Audio Set-up screen and choose the setting that most closely corresponds to the speaker distance, which will re-optimize the surround sound field. ASA is used in two new surround modes; THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music Mode. ■ THX ULTRA2 CINEMA MODE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THX Ultra2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this mode, ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and back surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sounds. This mode permits the playback of a non Surround EX/ES encoded 5.1 movie to be played back over a 7.1 system. DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected, if the appropriate flag has been encoded. Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital flag that allows automatic switching. If you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise THX Ultra2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay.

In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS, and Dolby Digital to provide a wide stable rear soundstage. This mode is to be used with multi-channel music sources such as DTS 5.1 music and Dolby Digital 5.1 music. THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd. In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before. Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com. A list of available DVD software titles encoded with this technology can be found at www.thx.com. Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home. This product may also engage the THX Surround EX mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround Back channel is program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener. ■ B.G.C. (Boundary Gain Compensation) If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic reasons) results in most of the listeners being close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level can be sufficiently reinforced by the boundary that the overall sound quality becomes ‘boomy’. THX Ultra2 receivers contain the BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation) feature to provide an improved bass balance. BGC can be selected by choosing ‘On’ from the ‘BGC’ section of the ‘THX Set’ setup menu. ■ THX Ultra2 Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra2 certified, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra2 logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. The THX Ultra2 specification provides uncompromised eight-channel playback of any multi-channel program, whether movie soundtracks or music over the widest possible seating area. In addition, all Ultra2 controllers and receivers incorporate video switching capable of handling all widebandwidth sources, including HDTV and progressive scan DVD, without degrading the picture. 116 ■ ITU-R ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R recommends a standard speaker placement which is used in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering purposes. 00EN.00_DSPZ9_GB.book Page 117 Thursday, November 13, 2003 10:55 AM BLOCK DIAGRAMS BLOCK DIAGRAMS ■ Block diagram \ RFDemodulator COAX/RF PCM 2ch DIRECT SOURCE COAX x3 INPUT Selector DIGITAL DIR OPT RX L/R Rec OUT Selector REC OUT COAX ZONE2 OUT L/R or STREAM(Multi) UNBAL/BAL 2ch/ Multi FRONT L/R CS5361 ADC SEL.
