IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
i
Explanation of Graphical Symbols
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
1 Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the product is operated.
2 Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3 Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4 Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5 Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6 Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by
the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7 Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water –
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool;
and the like.
8 Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9 A product and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the product and cart combination to
overturn.
10 Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating, and these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not
be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
11 Power Sources – This product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power company. For
products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12 Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13 Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
14 Lightning – For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
15 Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
16 Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17 Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind
into this product through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the product.
18 Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
19 Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R
*
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,
multi-channel audio sources and THX.
*
ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Telecommunication Union).
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. 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.). If for some reason it is not practical
to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,
however, are obtained with the full system. 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 65). 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.
Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound
simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers
using the PR/SB Priority parameter in Manual Setup (see
page 86).

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 will 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 will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s speaker
impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 31). If you
will use 8 ohm speakers, use this unit’s initial setting for
speaker impedance.
Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is
disconnected from the power source.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let
them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this
unit and/or 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.
Connecting to the speaker terminals
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 pairs of speaker systems
simultaneously.
CENTER terminals
Connect a center speaker to these terminals.
SURROUND ZONE 2(3) terminals
Connect surround speakers to these terminals.
SUBWOOFER jack
Connect a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the
YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System,
to this jack.
SURROUND BACK terminals
Connect surround back speakers to these terminals.
If you only connect one surround back speaker, connect it
to the left (L) terminals.

CONNECTIONS
PREPARATION
Some of the speakers commercially available these days
have speaker wire connections that allow bi-wiring or bi-
amplification to enhance the performance of the speaker
system. This unit allows you to make bi-wire and bi-AMP
connections to one speaker system. Check if your speakers
support bi-wiring or bi-amplification. As these speakers
are shipped to you, you will note gold-plated shorting bars
or bridges, one connecting the two red input terminals and
the other connecting the two black input terminals.
Remove these shorting bars or bridges only if you plan to
bi-wire or bi-AMP your speakers.
Conventional connection
If you want to connect your speakers as traditional
loudspeakers using the conventional connection method,
connect your speakers using the regular left and right
speaker wire connections and ignore the second set of
terminals.
Bi-wire connection
The bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the
combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire
compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These
two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two
independent sections. This split connects the mid and high
frequency drivers to one set of terminals and the low
frequency driver to the other pair.
Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low
pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.
To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A on the
front panel so that SP A lights up in the front panel display.
Bi-AMP connection
The bi-AMP connection uses two amplifiers for both
speakers. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section
of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the
combined mid and tweeter section. With this arrangement
each amplifier operates over a restricted frequency range.
This restricted range presents each amplifier with a much
simpler job and each amplifier is less likely to influence
the sound in some way. The internal crossover of the
speaker consists of a LPF (low pass filter) and a HPF (high
pass filter). As its name implies, the LPF passes
frequencies below a cutoff and rejects frequencies above
the cutoff frequency. Likewise, the HPF passes
frequencies above its cutoff.
Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low
pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.
To activate the bi-AMP connections, set BI-AMP to ON in
ADVANCED SETUP (see page 102).
To make the bi-AMP connections, use the FRONT and
SURROUND BACK terminals as shown below.

Cable indications
Analog jacks
You can input analog signals from audio components by
connecting audio pin cables to the analog jacks on this
unit. 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
signals input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks
are compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus
audio signals input at the analog jacks are only output at the
analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise, audio signals input at the
digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output at the
DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

AUTO SETUP
32
This receiver 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 the AUTO SETUP procedure stops and error messages
appear on the screen, follow the troubleshooting on page 126.
YPAO performs the following checks and makes
appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible
sound from your system.
Wiring
Checks which speakers are connected and 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
seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly
precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.
Level
Checks and adjusts the volume level 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.
The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.
Keep it away from direct sunlight.
Do not place it on top of this unit.
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
mic at the same height as your ears would be when
you are seated in your listening position.

Notes on Dialogue Normalization
(Dial Norm)
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby
Digital and DTS, which is used to keep the programs at
the same average listening level so the user does not have
to change the volume control between Dolby Digital and
DTS programs. When playing back software which has
been encoded in Dolby Digital and DTS, sometimes you
may see a brief message in the front panel display which
will read “Dial Norm X dB” (X being a numeric value).
The display is showing how the program level relates with
THX calibration level. If you want to play the program at
calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to adjust the
volume.
For example, if you see the following message:
“Dial Norm + 4 dB” in the front panel display, to keep the
overall output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn
down the volume control by 4dB. However, unlike a
movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you
can choose your preferred volume setting for best
enjoyment.

virtual speakers to reproduce a natural sound field.
If you set Surround to None (see page 91), Virtual
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.
Virtual CINEMA DSP is ineffective even if Surround is set to
None (see page 91) in the following cases:
If MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.
If headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
Playing video sources in the

panel or on the remote control.
Selecting audio input modes
This unit comes with a variety of input jacks. You can
select the type of input signal you want to use.
Press AUDIO SELECT on the front panel or
AUDIO SEL on the remote control to select an
input mode.
AUTO
Automatically selects input signals in the following
order:
1) HDMI
2) Digital signals
3) Analog signals
HDMI
Selects only HDMI signals. If no HDMI signals are
input, no sound is output.
COAX/OPT
Selects digital signals input at the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL jacks. Use if HDMI signals are also being
input.
ANALOG
Selects only analog signals. If no analog signals are
input, no sound is output.
y
We recommend using AUTO in most cases.
You can designate the default input mode to be selected when
the power of this unit is turned on (see page 30).
This feature is not available if no digital input jacks (OPTICAL,
COAXIAL and HDMI) are assigned. In addition, HDMI is not
available as an input mode if HDMI IN 1 and HDMI IN 2 jacks
are not assigned. Use I/O Assignment in Input Select to reassign
the respective input jacks (see page 81).
If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any
way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you
make a digital connection between this unit and the player.
If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder
automatically switches to the appropriate sound field program.
The input jacks not assigned are not available as input modes.
The parameter setting for Decoder Mode (see page 82) takes
priority over the audio input mode selected using AUDIO
SELECT on the front panel or AUDIO SEL on the remote

RECORDING
46
Recording adjustments and other operations are
performed from the recording components. Refer to the
operation instructions for those components.
1 Turn on the power of this unit and all
connected components.
See page 30 for details.
2 Rotate the INPUT selector on the front panel
(or set AMP/SOURCE/TV to SOURCE and
then press one of the input selector buttons)
to select the input source you want to record
from.
3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)
on the source component.
4 Start recording on the recording component.
y
Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.
The source you record and the source sent to Zone 2 can be
selected separately.
When this unit is in the standby mode, you cannot record from
other components connected to this unit.
The settings for Tone Control (see page 39), VOLUME,
Speaker Level (see page 93) and programs do not affect
recorded material.
A source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit
cannot be recorded.
S-video and composite video signals pass independently
through the video circuits of this unit. Therefore, when
recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source
component is connected to provide only an S-video or only a
composite video signal, you can record only an S-video or only
a composite video signal to your VCR.
Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not
output at the analog AUDIO OUT L/R jacks for recording.
Likewise, analog signals input at the AUDIO IN L/R jacks are
not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your
source component is connected to provide only digital or analog
signals, you can only record digital or analog signals.
A given input source is not output on the same OUT (REC)
channel. For example, the signal input at VCR 1 IN is not
output at VCR 1 OUT.
Check the copyright laws in your country to record from
records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may
infringe copyright laws.
Some HDMI audio signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN
2 jack of this unit may not be output at the DIGITAL AUDIO
(OPTICAL) jacks depending on the type of those HDMI audio
signals.
Notes on the 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 DVDs and CDs encoded in DTS, when your player is
compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation
instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will
be output from the player.

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS

SOUND FIELD
PROGRAMS
A significant factor that 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 help 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.
You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset
parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial
settings, you can change some of the parameters to better
suit the input source or your listening room. The following
parameters are not always found in every program.

SOUND FIELD
PROGRAMS
This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from
almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.
Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous
concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.
y
The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to
AUTO (see page 44) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.
This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in
actual halls, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.
Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.
You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked MULTI
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked 2-CH can be used with 2-channel
(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.
Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to
select sound field programs, see “Basic operations” on page 37.

SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
68
You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your
listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.
DSP Level (DSP level)
Function: Adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range.
Description: Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP
effect level relative to the level of the direct sound.
Control Range: –6 dB to +3 dB
Init. Delay (Initial delay)
Function: Changes the apparent distance the sound source is from the reflection face by adjusting the delay
between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.
Description: The smaller the value, the closer the reflection face seems to the sound source. 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
to 99 ms
Room Size (Room size)
Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround
sound field becomes.
Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between
the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the
reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from
one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.
Control range: 0.1 to 2.0

PROGRAMS
Liveness (Liveness)
Function: Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections
decay.
Description: The early reflections of a source sound 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 to 10
Sur. Init. Delay (Surround initial delay)
Function: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the sound
field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two surround channels
are used.
Control range: 1 to 49 ms
Sur. Room Size (Surround room size)
Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field.
Control range: 0.1 to 2.0
Sur. Liveness (Surround liveness)
Function: Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.
Control range: 0 to 10
SB. Init. Delay (Surround back initial delay)
Function: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround back sound field.
Control range: 1 to 49 ms
SB. Room Size (Surround back room size)
Function: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround back sound field.
Control range: 0.1 to 2.0

Rev. Time (Reverberation time)
Function: 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.
Description: The longer the reverberation time, the more live the listening room environment seems. The shorter the
reverberation time, the more dead the listening room environment seems.
Control range: 1.0 to 5.0 s
Rev. Delay (Reverberation delay)
Function: Adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the
reverberation sound.
Description: The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you
feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.
Control range: 0 to 250 ms
Rev. Level (Reverberation level)
Function: Adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.
Description: The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.

Audio Delay (Audio delay)
Use to delay the sound output and synchronize it with the
video image. This may be necessary when using certain
LCD monitors or projectors.
Control range: 0 to 240 (ms)
Max Volume (Maximum volume)
Use to set the maximum volume level so that the sound
output level will not increase beyond the limited volume
level. For example, the original volume range is –30.0 dB
to –80 dB. However, if Max Volume is set to –5 dB, the
volume range becomes –5 dB to –90 dB.
Control range: –30.0dB to –80dB
Control step: 5 dB
When a test tone is output, the Max Volume setting is
automatically deactivated because the volume level is
automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current Max Volume
setting.
The Max Volume setting takes priority over the Initial Volume
setting (see below). For example, if Initial Volume is set to 5 dB
and then Max Volume is set to 3 dB, the volume level is
automatically set to 3 dB when you turn on the power of this
unit next time. However, the Initial Volume setting is kept as
5 dB.
Initial Volume (Initial volume)
Use to set the volume level of the main room when the
power of this unit is turned on.
Choices: Off, –80dB to +16.5dB
Control step: 0.5 dB
The Max Volume setting (see above) takes priority over the Initial
Volume setting. Therefore, Initial Volume cannot be set beyond
the existing Max Volume setting.
PR/SB Priority (Presence/surround back speaker
priority)
Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound
simultaneously. You can select to prioritize either speaker
set when playing sources that contain surround back
channel signals using CINEMA DSP sound field
programs.
Choices: Presence, Surround Back
Select “Presence” to use presence speakers even when
surround back channel signals are input. The signals
for the surround back channel will be output from
surround speakers.
Select “Surround Back” to use surround back speakers
when a surround back channel signal is detected in a

jacks. When recording, you must make the same type of video
connections (composite or S-video) between each component.
When converting composite video or S-video signals from a
VCR to component video signals, the picture quality may suffer
depending on your VCR.
The GUI display becomes grayed out under the following
circumstances:
If Conversion is set to Off.
If the selected HDMI Up-Scaling setting is not supported by
the HDMI component connected to the HDMI OUT jack on
the rear panel of this unit.
If the resolution of the analog video signals being input is
either 1080i or 720p.
If the selected HDMI Up-Scaling setting is lower than the
resolution of the analog video signals being input.
Unconventional signals (such as those output from a game
console, etc.) input at the composite video, S-video or
component video jacks cannot be converted even if Conversion
is set to On.
If unconventional signals are being input at the composite
video, S-video or component video jacks, the video output may
be abnormal as a result. In such cases, set Conversion to Off.
Even if Conversion is set to Off, each video signal is converted
to display the GUI display menu and is output at the MONITOR
OUT jacks.
Component I/P (Component interlace/
progressive)
Use this feature to activate or deactivate the analog I/P up-
conversion of the analog video signals input at the
composite, S-video and component video jacks so that the
analog video signals deinterlaced from 480i to 480p
(NTSC) or 576i to 576p (PAL) are output at the
MONITOR OUT jacks.
Choices: Off, On
Select “Off” to deactivate the analog I/P up-conversion
of the analog video signals.
Select “On” to activate the analog I/P up-conversion of
the analog video signals.
This menu item is not available and hence not visible in the GUI
menu if Conversion is set to Off.
If your video monitor does not support the analog video signals
with 480p of resolution, the system options menu items may not
be displayed on your video monitor when Component I/P is set
to On.
HDMI Up-Scaling (HDMI up-scaling)
Use this feature to activate or deactivate the HDMI up-
conversion of the analog video signals input at the
composite video, S-video and component video jacks so
that the up-scaled analog video signals (480i (NTSC) or
576i (PAL) 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL) /1080i/720p
and 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL) 1080i/720p) are
output at the HDMI OUT jack.
Choices: Through, 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL), 1080i,
720p
Select “Through” not to up-scale any analog video
signals.
Select “480p” (NTSC) or “576p” (PAL), “1080i” or
“720p” to up-scale analog video signals to 480p
(NTSC) or 576p (PAL), 1080i or 720p of resolution.
This menu item is not available and hence not visible in the GUI

(see page 111).
*1
You can turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit by connecting them to the AC
OUTLETS 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 operating instructions for the connected component.)
*2
When the remote control code for your TV is set up for either DTV or PHONO (see page 105), you can turn on the power of your TV
without selecting an input source. The remote control code set up for DTV takes priority over the one for PHONO.
*3
When TUNER is selected as the input source, this unit plays the last station received before the unit was set in the standby mode.
*4
Playback can be started for any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorder, CD player, CD recorder, DVD player, or DVD
recorder. When using macros to operate other components, you will need to program the play button on the control area of that
component (see page 107) or set a remote control code (see page 105).

OPERATION
This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 features enable you to set this unit
to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3). You can control
this unit from the second or third room using the supplied remote control.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:
An infrared signal receiver in the second and/or third room.
An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second
and/or third room to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).
An amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room.
A video monitor for the second room.
y
You do not need an extra amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room if you want to use the internal amplifiers of this unit.
Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room configuration, we recommend that you consult with
your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for the Zone 2 and Zone 3 connections that best meet your requirements.
Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the CONTROL OUT jack on this unit. If you own these products, you may not
need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.
Using the external amplifiers
To use an external amplifier in Zone 2, select EXT in Zone2 Amplifier (see page 96).
When not using the main room, turn down the volume of this unit in the main room. Adjust the Zone 2/Zone 3 volume by using the

ADVANCED
OPERATION
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first
industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital A/V (audio/
video) interface.
Providing an interface between any A/V source (such as a
set-top box or A/V receiver) and an audio/video monitor
(such as a digital television – DTV), HDMI supports
standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as
multi-channel digital audio using a single cable.
HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports
8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to
accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure
audio/video interface that meets the security requirements
of content providers and system operators.
For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website
at “http://www.hdmi.org/”.
Analog audio signals input at the audio input jacks other than
the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output at the
HDMI OUT jack. However, analog video signals input at the
composite video, S-video and component video jacks can be
up-converted to HDMI so that the digitally up-converted video
signals can be output at the HDMI OUT jack (see page 88).
Connect the HDMI OUT jack of other components (such as a
DVD player) to the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack of this unit.
Connect the HDMI OUT jack of this unit to the HDMI IN 1 or
HDMI IN 2 jack of other components (such as a projector).
You need a commercially available HDMI cable to connect this
unit to other HDMI components. Use an HDMI cable shorter
than 5 m (15 ft) to ensure stable operations and to prevent losses
of video quality.
This unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or
DVI components.
Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack
DVI-D jack) to connect
this unit to other DVI components.
Digital video signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2
jack cannot be output from analog video output jacks.
Audio signals input at input jacks other than the HDMI IN 1 or
HDMI IN 2 of this unit cannot be digitally output at the
HDMI OUT jack.
This unit is not compatible with multi-stereo area audio signals
of Super Audio CDs. You can connect devices (such as a DVD
player) to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks.
When connected to a DVD player, audio signals may not be
output depending on the type of the DVD player. In case the
DVD player connected to this unit does not output DVD multi-
channel audio signals at the HDMI OUT jack, connect the DVD
player to the analog multi-channel audio input jacks.
When CPPM copy-protected DVD audio plays back, video and
audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the
DVD player.
Video and audio signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2
jack cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack when this unit is
set to the standby mode or the power is turned off.
When connecting other HDMI components to this unit, refer to
the instruction manuals for those components.
When HDMI audio signals are output from components like a
DVD player, the audio signal format (such as sampling
frequencies) may be restricted depending on the HDMI video
signal format.
Do not disconnect or connect the HDMI cable from this unit or
turn off the power of the HDMI/DVI components connected to
the HDMI OUT jack of this unit while data is being transferred.
Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.
Some video monitors connected to this unit via a DVI
connection fail to recognize the HDMI audio signals being
input if they are in the standby mode. In this case, the HDMI
indicator flashes irregularly and HDCP ERROR appears in the
front panel display as if the DVI monitors do not support the
HDCP copy protection standards.

Assigning HDMI components
You can assign an HDMI component to the HDMI IN 1 or
HDMI IN 2 jack on the rear panel of this unit so that the
audio and video signals input via HDMI connection can
be simultaneously played back.
Use the I/O Assignment parameter in Input Select to
assign HDMI components (see page 81).
Converting analog video signals to
HDMI
This unit is equipped with the HDMI up-conversion
feature where the analog video signals input at the
composite video, S-video and component video jacks on
the rear panel of this unit are digitally processed and up-
converted so that they can be output at the HDMI OUT
jack on the rear panel of this unit with all-digital
resolution quality.
Use the HDMI Up-Scaling parameter in the Option menu
to convert analog component video signals to HDMI
(see page 88).
When the analog video signals with 1080i or 720p of resolution
are up-converted to HDMI and output at the HDMI OUT jack, the
picture quality may worsen.
Setting the HDMI support audio
You can choose to play back HDMI audio signals on this
unit or on another HDMI component connected to the
HDMI OUT jack on the rear panel of this unit.
Use the HDMI Set parameter in the Option menu to set the
HDMI support audio (see page 99).

ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes
the sound fed to 2 side and 2 back surround 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 will provide the
largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to
place the Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to
go THX Audio Set-up screen and choose the setting that
most closely corresponds to the speaker spacing, which
will re-optimized the surround sound-field.
ASA is used in three new modes: THX Select2 Cinema,
THX Music Mode and THX Games Mode.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives
you completely independent multi-channel audio. It
provides 5 full-range audio channels; 3 front channels
(left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels.
An additional channel especially for bass effects, called
LFE (low frequency effect) is also provided giving the
system a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as a 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 (maximum to
minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range
channels and the precise sound orientation generated
using digital sound processing provide listeners with a
previously unheard of excitement and realism.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output
channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done by using
a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the
2 in the original recording. For 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 that have flyover and fly-
around effects.
Dolby Pro Logic x
Dolby Pro Logic x is a new technology enabling 6.1 or
7.1 multi-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.
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.
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.
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). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that
enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding a surround
back channel to the existing 5.1-channel format.
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, such as mastering
studios.

INFORMATION
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 Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.
Neo:6
Neo:6 decodes conventional 2-channel sources for
6 channel playback by. It enables playback with the full-
range channels with higher separation comparable to
digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available;
Music mode for playing music sources and Cinema mode
for movies.
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.
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 theaters and in your home
theater, as faithful as possible to what the director
intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters
called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back
in movie theaters 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 theater environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to
accurately translate the sound from the movie theater
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).
Adaptive decorrelation
In a movie theater, a large number of surround speakers
help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but
in a home theater 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 theater.
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 theaters 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 sound
depending on the direction from which it is coming. In a
movie theater, there is an array of surround speakers so
that the surround information is all around you. In a home
theater, 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.

THX Games Mode
For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the
THX Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX
ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all
5.1 and 2.0 encoded game sources such as analog, PCM,
DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game
audio surround information, providing a full 360 degree
playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it
gives you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the
surround field.
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, Dolby Digital and
DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.
THX Select2
Before any home theater component can be THX Select2
certified, it must incorporate all the features described in
THX Cinema processing and also pass a rigorous series of
quality and performance tests. Only then can a product
feature the THX Select2 logo, which is your guarantee
that the Home Theater products you purchase will give
you superb performance for many years to come.
THX Select2 requirements cover every aspect of the
product including power amplifier and pre-amplifier
performance and operation, and hundreds of other
parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
THX Select2 Cinema mode
THX Select2 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.
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital
Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be automatically
detected in THX Select2 Cinema mode 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 Select2 Cinema
mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum
replay.
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 cases the
information delivered to the Surround Back channel will
be program dependent and may or may not be pleasing
depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of
the individual listener.

INFORMATION
Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal
is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the
P
B and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be
reproduced more faithfully with this system because each
of these signals is independent. A monitor with
component input jacks is required in order to use the
component signal for output.
Composite video signal
With the composite video signal system, the video signal
is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;
color, luminance 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.
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. 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 a movie theater in the listening room
of your own home.
SILENT CINEMA
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 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.

GLOSSARY
This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic
Optimizer (YPAO) technology, together with the
Parametric EQ settings (see page 84), to optimize the
frequency characteristics of its parametric equalizer to
match your listening environment. YPAO uses a
combination of the following three parameters
(Frequency, Gain 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.
Gain
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, Gain and Q factor) for each
equalizer band in this unit’s parametric equalizer. This unit
has 7 equalizer bands for each channel.
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 openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product, c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water, IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS d) 20 21 22 23 If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The unit should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX. * ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). PL PR C FR FL 30˚ SL SR 60˚ SL 80˚ SBL SR SBR More than 30 cm (12 in) 1.8 m (6 ft) 1.8 m (6 ft) 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 (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 65). 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. Note Front speakers (FR and FL) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. 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.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. 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. 14 Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the PR/SB Priority parameter in Manual Setup (see page 86). CONNECTIONS ■ 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 FR Connecting speakers Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. CAUTION SR SBL SBR : Di-pole speaker : Direction of the di-pole speaker phase Note 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. ■ Connecting to the speaker terminals 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. Note The Canada model cannot output to two pairs of speaker systems simultaneously. CENTER terminals Connect a center speaker to these terminals. SURROUND ZONE 2(3) terminals Connect surround speakers to these terminals. SUBWOOFER jack Connect a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, to this jack. SURROUND BACK terminals Connect surround back speakers to these terminals. If you only connect one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) terminals. 15 PREPARATION SL • If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 31). If you will use 8 ohm speakers, use this unit’s initial setting for speaker impedance. • Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is disconnected from the power source. • Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers. • Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

They do not output sound when other sound fields are selected. 18 CONNECTIONS Using bi-wire and bi-AMP connections ■ Conventional connection If you want to connect your speakers as traditional loudspeakers using the conventional connection method, connect your speakers using the regular left and right speaker wire connections and ignore the second set of terminals. + – A – + FRONT + – B – + R Shorting bars or bridges L Shorting bars or bridges This unit + – A – + FRONT + – B – + R L This unit ■ Bi-AMP connection The bi-AMP connection uses two amplifiers for both speakers. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the combined mid and tweeter section. With this arrangement each amplifier operates over a restricted frequency range. This restricted range presents each amplifier with a much simpler job and each amplifier is less likely to influence the sound in some way. The internal crossover of the speaker consists of a LPF (low pass filter) and a HPF (high pass filter). As its name implies, the LPF passes frequencies below a cutoff and rejects frequencies above the cutoff frequency. Likewise, the HPF passes frequencies above its cutoff. Notes • Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers. • To activate the bi-AMP connections, set BI-AMP to ON in ADVANCED SETUP (see page 102). • To make the bi-AMP connections, use the FRONT and SURROUND BACK terminals as shown below. ■ Bi-wire connection The bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two independent sections. This split connects the mid and high frequency drivers to one set of terminals and the low frequency driver to the other pair. Notes R – + – A – + L – + L FRONT R • Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers. • To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A on the front panel so that SP A lights up in the front panel display. + SINGLE SURROUND BACK This unit 19 PREPARATION Some of the speakers commercially available these days have speaker wire connections that allow bi-wiring or biamplification to enhance the performance of the speaker system. This unit allows you to make bi-wire and bi-AMP connections to one speaker system. Check if your speakers support bi-wiring or bi-amplification. As these speakers are shipped to you, you will note gold-plated shorting bars or bridges, one connecting the two red input terminals and the other connecting the two black input terminals. Remove these shorting bars or bridges only if you plan to bi-wire or bi-AMP your speakers.

AUTO SETUP AUTO SETUP Introduction This receiver 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. Optimizer microphone setup 1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front panel.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system. Wiring Checks which speakers are connected and 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 seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics. Level Checks and adjusts the volume level of each speaker. 32 OPTIMIZER MIC PHONES VIDEO/AUX Notes • After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone. • The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat. – Keep it away from direct sunlight. – Do not place it on top of this unit. 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 mic at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position. Optimizer microphone position AUTO SETUP Using AUTO SETUP For best results, make sure the room is as quiet as possible during the AUTO SETUP procedure (YPAO). If there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be satisfactory. 1 Switch on this unit and video monitor. 2 Set AMP/SOURCE/TV to AMP and then press GUI TOP on the remote control. The top display appears. y AMP • You can run AUTO SETUP using the system menu that appears in the GUI or in the front panel display.

Notes • The source you record and the source sent to Zone 2 can be selected separately. • When this unit is in the standby mode, you cannot record from other components connected to this unit. • The settings for Tone Control (see page 39), VOLUME, Speaker Level (see page 93) and programs do not affect recorded material. • A source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded. • S-video and composite video signals pass independently through the video circuits of this unit. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source component is connected to provide only an S-video or only a composite video signal, you can record only an S-video or only a composite video signal to your VCR. • Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT L/R jacks for recording. Likewise, analog signals input at the AUDIO IN L/R jacks are not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your source component is connected to provide only digital or analog signals, you can only record digital or analog signals. • A given input source is not output on the same OUT (REC) channel. For example, the signal input at VCR 1 IN is not output at VCR 1 OUT. • Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws. • Some HDMI audio signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack of this unit may not be output at the DIGITAL AUDIO (OPTICAL) jacks depending on the type of those HDMI audio signals. If you play back a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals. SOURCE TV Remote control 3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station) on the source component. 4 Start recording on the recording component. 46 ■ Notes on the 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 DVDs and CDs encoded in DTS, when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player. 01EN_RX-V2600_U.book Page 47 Thursday, October 27, 2005 10:56 AM FM/AM TUNING FM/AM TUNING Automatic tuning 3 Automatic tuning is effective when station signals are strong and there is no interference.

A significant factor that 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. Changing parameter settings You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial settings, you can change some of the parameters to better suit the input source or your listening room. The following parameters are not always found in every program. ■ Elements of a sound field POWER AV A XM AUDIO SEL SLEEP PHONO TUNER CD MULTI CH IN V-AUX CBL/SAT MD/TAPE CD-R POWER 1 2-4 PRESET/CH GUI TOP EXIT TITLE MENU BAND SRCH MODE PURE DIRECT NIGHT AUDIO ENTER STRAIGHT RETURN DTV VCR 1 DVR/VCR2 DISPLAY AMP + + + CH VOLUME SOURCE – – EFFECT STEREO MUSIC ENTERTAIN 1 2 3 4 THX STANDARD SELECT EXTD.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS 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. STANDBY TV POWER 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: AMP 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 PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from almost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience. Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters. y The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to AUTO (see page 44) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal. Notes • This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in actual halls, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right. • Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself. For movie/video sources You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked MULTI can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked 2-CH can be used with 2-channel (stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc. Program selection methods vary depending on sound field program types. For details on how to select sound field programs, see “Basic operations” on page 37.

Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ■ DSP Level (DSP level) Function: Description: Adjusts the level of all the 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 the direct sound. Control Range: –6 dB to +3 dB ■ Init. Delay (Initial delay) Function: Description: Control range: Changes the apparent distance the sound source is from the reflection face by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the closer the reflection face seems to the sound source. 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. 1 to 99 ms Source sound Time INIT. DLY Level Level Level Early reflections INIT. DLY Time INIT. DLY Time Sound source Reflection face Small value = 1 ms Large value = 99 ms ■ Room Size (Room size) Function: Description: Control range: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room. 0.1 to 2.0 Time Early reflections Time Level Level Level Source sound Time Sound source Small value = 0.1 68 Large value = 2.0 SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ Liveness (Liveness) Function: Description: Control range: 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 source sound 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. 0 to 10 Source sound Time Level Level Dead Level Live Time Small reflected sound Small value = 0 Time Large reflected sound Large value = 10 ■ Sur. Init. Delay (Surround initial delay) Function: ■ Sur. Room Size (Surround room size) Function: Control range: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. 0.1 to 2.0 ■ Sur. Liveness (Surround liveness) Function: Control range: Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field. 0 to 10 ■ SB. Init. Delay (Surround back initial delay) Function: Control range: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround back sound field. 1 to 49 ms ■ SB. Room Size (Surround back room size) Function: Control range: Adjusts the apparent size of the surround back sound field. 0.1 to 2.0 ■ SB. Liveness (Surround back liveness) Function: Control range: Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the surround back sound field. 0 to 10 69 SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS Control range: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the sound field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two surround channels are used. 1 to 49 ms SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ Rev. Time (Reverberation time) Function: Description: Control range: 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. The longer the reverberation time, the more live the listening room environment seems. The shorter the reverberation time, the more dead the listening room environment seems. 1.0 to 5.0 s Source sound Reverberation Reverberation Early reflections 60 dB 60 dB REV.TIME Sound source REV.TIME Short reverberation 60 dB REV.TIME Long reverberation Small value = 1.0 s Large value = 5.0 s ■ Rev. Delay (Reverberation delay) Function: Description: Level Control range: 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. 0 to 250 ms Source sound (dB) 60 dB Reverberation Time REV.DELAY REV.TIME ■ Rev. Level (Reverberation level) Adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes. 0 to 100% Level Function: Description: Control range: Source sound REV.

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 will provide the largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to place the Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to go THX Audio Set-up screen and choose the setting that most closely corresponds to the speaker spacing, which will re-optimized the surround sound-field. ASA is used in three new modes: THX Select2 Cinema, THX Music Mode and THX Games Mode. ■ Dolby Pro Logic x Dolby Pro Logic x is a new technology enabling 6.1 or 7.1 multi-channel playback from 2-channel or multichannel sources. There is a Music mode for music, a Movie mode for movies and a Game mode for games. ■ 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 ■ DTS 96/24 Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. It provides 5 full-range audio channels; 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels. An additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect) is also provided giving the system a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as a 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 (maximum to minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the precise sound orientation generated using digital sound processing provide listeners with a previously unheard of excitement and realism. 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. ■ Dolby Digital EX Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done by using a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the 2 in the original recording. For 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 that have flyover and flyaround effects. ■ 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 5.1channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding a surround back channel to the existing 5.1-channel format. ■ 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, such as mastering studios. 128 GLOSSARY ■ LFE 0.1 channel ■ THX Cinema processing 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 Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems. 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 theaters and in your home theater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters 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 theater environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater 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). ■ Neo:6 Neo:6 decodes conventional 2-channel sources for 6 channel playback by. It enables playback with the fullrange channels with higher separation comparable to digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; Music mode for playing music sources and Cinema mode for movies. ■ 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. Adaptive decorrelation In a movie theater, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theater 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 theater. 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 theaters using very different professional equipment. Re-equalization restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a small home environment. 129 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Timbre matching The human ear changes our perception of sound depending on the direction from which it is coming. In a movie theater, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theater, 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. GLOSSARY ■ THX Games Mode ■ THX Surround EX For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the THX Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0 encoded game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game audio surround information, providing a full 360 degree playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it gives you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the surround field. 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 cases the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener. ■ 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, Dolby Digital and DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable rear soundstage. ■ THX Select2 Before any home theater component can be THX Select2 certified, it must incorporate all the features described in THX Cinema processing and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Select2 logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theater products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX Select2 requirements cover every aspect of the product including power amplifier and pre-amplifier performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain. ■ THX Select2 Cinema mode THX Select2 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. DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected in THX Select2 Cinema mode 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 Select2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay. 130 GLOSSARY Video information Sound field program information ■ Component video signal ■ CINEMA DSP 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. A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to use the component signal for output. 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. 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 a movie theater in the listening room of your own home. ■ Composite video signal With the composite video signal system, the video signal is composed of three basic elements of a video picture; color, luminance 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. ■ SILENT CINEMA 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 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. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 131 GLOSSARY Parametric equalizer information This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology, together with the Parametric EQ settings (see page 84), to optimize the frequency characteristics of its parametric equalizer to match your listening environment. YPAO uses a combination of the following three parameters (Frequency, Gain 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. YPAO adjusts frequency characteristics to suit your listening requirements using a combination of the above three parameters (Frequency, Gain and Q factor) for each equalizer band in this unit’s parametric equalizer. This unit has 7 equalizer bands for each channel. 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). Figure 1 ■ Gain This parameter is adjustable in increments of 0.5 dB between –20 and +6 dB.
