CAUTION

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

1. To assure the finest performance, please read this

manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future

reference.

2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away

from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive

vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of

humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or

electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or

water.

3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the

unit, contact your dealer.

4. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection

wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the

power cord and then the wires connected to other

component. Never pull the wires themselves.

5. The openings on the cover assure proper ventilation

of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the

temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly.

Therefore, avoid placing objects against these

openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated area

to prevent fire and damage.

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind,

20 cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel

of the unit to prevent fire and damage.

6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified

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

specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other

accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for

any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a

voltage other than that specified.

7. Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere

with other component such as tuners, receivers and

TVs. Move this unit farther away from such

component if interference is observed.

8. Always set VOLUME to the “m” position before

starting the audio source play. Increase the volume

gradually to an appropriate level after playback has

been started.

9. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical

solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean,

dry cloth.

10. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section

regarding common operating errors before

concluding that the unit is faulty.

11. When not planning to use this unit for a long period

of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power

cord from the wall outlet.

12. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC

power cord when there is an electrical storm.

13. Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be

taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit

is not defeated.

14. AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the

AC outlet on the rear panel if that component

requires more power than the outlet is rated to

provide.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source

as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this

unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby

mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a

very small quantity of power.

■ For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug

supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an

appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the

instructions described below.

Note

• The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a

plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live

socket outlet.

INTRODUCTION

PREPARATION

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the

speakers.

■ Main speakers

Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance

from the ideal listening position. The distance of each

speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the

same.

■ Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing

slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the

floor.

■ Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face

of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the

monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the

monitor and centrally between the main speakers.

Note

• If the center speaker is not used, the center channel sound will be

heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case,

“CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position.

(Refer to page 26 for details.)

■ Subwoofer

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 main speakers. Turn it slightly

toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

CAUTION

Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If

this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the

monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker

or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically

shielded speakers.

Speakers to Be Used

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality

with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers

and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers

(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a

moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift

smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the

same manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus

the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from

your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for

the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for

the center 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.

The main speakers should be high-performance models and

have enough power-handling capacity to accept the

maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers

do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise

sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-

performance models that can reproduce sounds over the full

range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.

■ Use of a subwoofer expands your

sound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the

addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective

not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all

channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency

effect) channel with high fidelity when playing back a

source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHA

Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for

natural and lively bass reproduction.

CONNECTIONS

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been

completed.

Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some

components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each

component to be connected to this unit.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect

it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, @, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its

products.

Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.

The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

Yellow video signals (composite)

White analog audio signals for the left channel

Red analog audio signals for the right channel

coaxial digital signals

After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

CAUTION

Be sure to move the EXTERNAL DECODER/MAIN IN

switch only when this unit is in the standby mode.

Notes

• When a source connected to these terminals is selected, the digital

sound field processor cannot be used.

• The settings of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and

“BASS OUT” on the SET MENU have no effect on a source

connected to these terminals. The setting of “MAIN LVL” is

effective. (Refer to pages 26 and 27 for details.)

• Adjustment of the output level of the center speaker, rear speakers

and subwoofer is effective when a source connected to these

terminals is selected as the input source. (Refer to page 29 for

details.)

■ Audio signal terminals

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

input (IN) and output (OUT) properly.

Note

• Be sure to make the video connections as well.

■ Digital audio signal terminals

If your DVD/LD player, TV/digital TV or cable TV/satellite

tuner, etc. has coaxial or optical digital signal output

terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL

and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals. To make a

connection between the optical digital signal terminals,

remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect

them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable

that conforms to EIA standards. Other cables might not

function correctly.

When making connections between the digital signal

terminals, you should connect the components to the same-

named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because a

digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD

recorder or VCR connected to this unit.

Notes

• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not

being used in order to protect them from dust.

• If your LD player has a Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal,

be sure to use the RF demodulator (separately purchased).

• No sound will be heard when connecting your LD player’s Dolby

Digital RF signal output terminal directly to this unit’s COAXIAL

DVD/LD digital signal input terminal.

• The input signal from the DVD/LD or CBL/SAT input terminals

is selected in the following order of priority with the input mode

set to AUTO: COAXIAL terminal → OPTICAL terminal →

Analog terminal. Refer to page 18 for details.

• All digital signal input terminals are applicable to sampling

frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz. (Refer to

page 19 about 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals.)

■ Video signal terminals (composite)

If your video components do not have “S” video terminals,

they can be connected to this unit’s VIDEO terminals. Be

sure to connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) properly.

Notes

• Be sure to make the audio connections as well.

• If video signals are input from both the S VIDEO input and

composite input terminals, the signals will be directed to their

respective output terminals.

■ Notes on playing a source

encoded with DTS

• If “DATA ERROR” appears on the display while playing an LD

source encoded with DTS, stop playback and turn the player off

and then on again.

• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any

way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you

make a digital connection between this unit and the player.

• If you play an LD source encoded with DTS and set the input

mode to ANALOG, there will be the noise of an unprocessed

DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to

connect the source to the digital input terminal and set the input

mode to AUTO or DTS.

• If you play a source encoded with DTS and set the input mode to

AUTO, there will be a short noise at first while the unit

recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is

not a malfunction, and can be avoided by setting the input mode

to DTS beforehand. In addition, if you continue to play a source

encoded with DTS with the input mode setting left to AUTO, this

unit automatically switches to the “DTS-decoding” mode to

prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation.

(The “t” indicator lights up on the display.) The “t”

indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source

encoded with DTS has finished. Only a source encoded with DTS

can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to

play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to

AUTO.

PLAYING A SOURCE

■ Notes on playing an LD source

• Some audio/video component, such as LD player, output different

audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. Change

the input mode as necessary.

• If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method,

this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this

case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

• If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect

the LD player to the analog terminals and set the input mode to

AUTO or ANALOG.

• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded

with Dolby Digital, if you switch from the pause or chapter

forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM

or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital sound is

played.

■ Notes on the digital signal

The digital input terminal of this unit can also handle

96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals. (To utilize this, use a

source that supports 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals

and set the player for digital output. Refer to the instructions

for the player.) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling

24-bit digital signal is input to this unit.

1. The following indicator will appear on the display.

2. DSP programs cannot be selected. Sound will be output

as normal 2-channel stereo sound using only the right

and left main speakers.

3. Delay time and speaker output level cannot be adjusted.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you to

electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-

like experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this

will, of course, depend on what you are listening to).

When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) is turned

on according to which type of signals the source being played contains.

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that

most of these are precise digital re-creations of actual acoustic environments.

• The input source given in the following table for programs 4 through 8 indicates that input source which each program

is best suited for.

• Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.

Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and

digital sound field processing are precisely

performed without altering the original sound

orientation.

The surround effect produced by the sound

field folds around the viewer naturally from

the rear to the right and left and toward the

screen.

The built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby

Digital decoder or DTS decoder precisely

reproduces the sound and effect of a source

encoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital

The realization of a highly efficient decoding

process improves cross talk and channel

separation, and makes sound positioning

smoother and more precise.

Clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in

the latest sound form of science fiction films,

thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic

space amid the silence. You can enjoy science

fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that

includes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and

DTS-encoded software employing the most

advanced techniques.

2 MOVIE

THEATER 1

3 MOVIE

THEATER 2

Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the

newest multi-track films. The sound field is

made to be similar to that of the newest movie

theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field

itself are restrained as much as possible. The

data for the sound field of an opera house are

used for the front presence, so the three-

dimensional feeling of the sound field is

emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on

the screen. By using the data for the sound field

of a concert hall on the surround sound field,

powerful reverberations are generated. You can

enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc.

with strong presence.

This program is for reproducing sounds on a

multi-track film, and is characterized by a soft

and extensive sound field. The front presence of

the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially

spreads all around and toward the screen,

restraining echo effect of conversations without

losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the

harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully

in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP/Dolby Digital + DSP/DTS + DSP

■ Dolby Pro Logic + 2 digital sound fields

Digital sound fields are created in both the presence and

rear surround zones of the Dolby Pro Logic-decoded sound

field. They create a wide acoustic environment and

emphasize the surround effect in the room, letting you feel

as much presence as if you were watching a movie in a

popular Dolby Stereo theater.

■ Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 digital sound fields

Digital sound fields are created in the presence zone and

independently on the left and right surround zones of the

Dolby Digital-decoded or DTS-decoded sound field. They

create a wide acoustic environment and strong surround

effect in the room without losing high channel separation.

With the wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS

sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you

were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Digital theater

or DTS-installed theater. This is the most ideal home theater

sound at the present time.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

This program is designed specifically to enhance monaural

sources. Compared to a strictly mono setting, the sound image

is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending an

immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective for

old mono movie, news broadcasts and dialog.

5. MAIN LVL

Choices: NORM (Normal)/–10 dB

Preset position: NORM (Normal)

NORM (Normal)

Normally select this position.

–10 dB

Select this position if the sound output from the main

speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound

output from the center and rear speakers. In this position,

the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.

Notes

• The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and

“BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the 6CH

INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.

• Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REAR

SP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do not

have to change any settings unless your speaker system is

modified.

6. D.D. LFE (Adjusting the output

level of the LFE channel for Dolby

Digital)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps)

Preset value: 0 dB

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital

contains LFE signals.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE

signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they

are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal

level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

7. D-RANGE (Adjusting the dynamic

range)

Choices: MAX/STD (Standard)/MIN

Preset position: MAX

Note

• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being

decoded.

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum

level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie

originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide

dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the

original sound track into a home audio format with this

wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of

extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for

home use. Depending on the condition of your listening

environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound

output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However,

at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the

low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well

because they will be lost among noise in your environment.

Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to

reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home

audio format by “compressing” the sound data.

MAX

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is

reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic

range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in

a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if

you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room

specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard)

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is

reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the

source that is suitable for low-level listening.

MIN

In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in

the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective

when you must listen to a source at a low level.

Note

• It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally

depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD

position.

8. DTS LFE (Adjusting the output

level of the LFE channel for DTS)

Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (in 1 dB steps)

Preset value: 0 dB

Note

• This adjustment is effective only when DTS is being decoded and

the selected source encoded with DTS contains LFE signals.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE

signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they

are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal

level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

9. CNTR DELAY (Adjusting the delay

of the sound from the center

sound)

Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms steps)

Preset value: 0 ms

This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main

channels) and dialog, etc. (on the center channel). The larger

the value, the later the dialog, etc. is generated.

This makes sounds from the left main, center and right main

speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This

is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if

the distance from the center speaker to your listening

position is shorter than the distance from the right and left

main speaker to your listening position.

10.MEM. GUARD (Locking the

settings)

Choices: ON/OFF

Preset position: OFF

If you wish to prevent accidental alterations to the settings

of the SET MENU and other adjustments on this unit, select

the ON position. The following settings on this unit can be

value

When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby

Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder,

you can adjust the delay time between the main sound and

sound effect, and each speaker’s output level as you wish.

Note

• When high-rate 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals are input

to this unit, the delay time and speaker output levels cannot be

adjusted.

Delay Time

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of

the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the

sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value,

the later the sound effect is generated. The delay time can be

individually adjusted to all DSP programs.

Notes

• Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some

sources.

• The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay

time.

Sound Output Level of the Center,

Right Rear and Left Rear Speakers,

and Subwoofer

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of each

speaker even if it has already been adjusted in

“ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE” on pages 14

and 15.

Notes

• The sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted

when the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded with

Dolby Digital in 2-channel.

• If “CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position,

the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted.

This is because the center channel sound is automatically output

from the right and left main speakers.

• Once the sound output level has been adjusted, the level will be

the same for all DSP programs.

■ When playing back a source encoded with DTS

SYMPTOM

A loud hissing noise is

heard when playing back

a source encoded with

DTS.

A percussive noise is

heard when playing back

a source encoded with

DTS.

No sound is heard when

playing back a source

encoded with DTS, even

if the input mode is set

to AUTO on this unit.

No sound is heard when

playing back an MD or

DAT on which has been

recorded a source

encoded with DTS.

No sound is heard when

playing back a source

(CD, etc.) even if the

currently selected input

mode is AUTO.

CAUSE

The player which plays back the source is not

connected to a digital audio signal input terminal

of this unit.

The input mode is set to ANALOG on this unit.

If the input mode is set to AUTO, depending on

some sources, there may be a noise heard while

this unit is identifying the format of the input

signal.

The built-in DTS decoder does not function

because the player has a digital volume control

and it is set at a position other than “maximum,”

“neutral” or “ineffective.”

A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded

on an MD or DAT.

In the AUTO mode, the DTS-decoding mode

cannot be automatically changed to the normal

(PCM) digital signal input mode.

REMEDY

The player must be connected to a digital audio

signal input terminal of this unit besides the

analog audio signal terminal connections.

Set a proper input mode to turn on the built-in

DTS decoder.

Set the input mode of the currently selected

input source to DTS.

Set the player’s digital volume control at the

maximum, neutral or ineffective position.

Set the input mode to AUTO again.

Notes

• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back the source must be connected

to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter is

being used without using a DTS decoder, only a loud hissing noise will be heard when you play back the source.

• The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a

source encoded with DTS. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from DTS-decoding mode to

PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.

■ Remote control

SYMPTOM

The remote control does

not work.

CAUSE

Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type

of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote

control sensor of this unit.

The batteries are weak.

REMEDY

Reposition the unit.

Replace all batteries with new ones.

REMEDY

Turn on the power of the unit.

Move the unit further away from such

equipment.

CAUSE

This unit is in the standby mode.

The unit is too close to the digital or high-

frequency equipment.

SYMPTOM

The sound is degraded

when listening with

headphones to a tape

deck or CD player

connected to this unit.

There is noise

interference from digital

or high-frequency

equipment, or the unit.
