PREPARATIONS ➤ Installation En 11

This unit reflects sound beams off of walls to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to both the listening position and walls is important to achieving the

desired surround sound effects. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier to connect external devices to this unit first. This

will depend upon the installation location. See “Connections” (p. 24) for more information.

❑ Wireless connections

The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the

subwoofer and the center unit. Use a wired connection to connect the subwoofer to the center unit if sounds are interrupted due to the installation condition (p. 29).

Installation

Notes

• Be sure to install this unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.

• The subwoofer speakers are not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the subwoofer.

• Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.

Recommended place for installation

Center unit

Subwoofer

* Use the TV Remote Repeater function if the center unit

obstructs the remote control sensor on the TV (p. 15).

If the center unit cannot be installed on a TV stand

because the stand is too high, the height of the center

unit can be adjusted (p. 16).

• To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle the

subwoofer slightly toward the center of the room.

APPENDIX ➤ Basic Knowledge of Surround Sound En 76

APPENDIX

What is Surround Sound?

Surround sound offers the sense of being surrounded by sounds, an

experience common in concert halls and movie theaters. This can be

achieved by surrounding the audience with numerous speakers from

which sound is output uniformly in all directions. This “surround

sound” technology immerses the listener in sound with speakers

positioned not only in front of the listener, but also behind and to the

sides of the listener, making him or her feel as if they are actually in

the situation.

For precise directional control and quality of sound reproduction,

sounds must be split into separate audio channels for output to each

speaker. Surround sound systems for regular home use (7.1-channel

speaker systems) produce surround sound using seven speakers

and a subwoofer, as shown below:

As explained above, sounds can be reproduced for a great sense of

presence by installing multiple speakers. However, this can be

difficult to do in a living room. This unit utilizes “digital sound

projector” technology to provide a realistic and engaging surround

sound experience using only a slim center unit and subwoofer.

What is a Digital Sound Projector?

A digital sound projector separately controls compact speakers

installed in orderly rows, so that optimized audio signals are output

from each speaker and synthesized as highly focused sounds

(sound beams).

When these focused sounds hit a hard wall, they are reflected off of

the wall. A digital sound projector outputs sound beams from five

channels, including front (left/right), center, and surround (left/right)

channels, by reflecting these beams off of walls so that sounds reach

the listener from the appropriate direction. It features a technology

that enables true surround sound without requiring the installation of

speakers in front of, or behind, the listener.

By combining front and surround channel signals, it can also create

two new channels, for a total of seven, so that all channels work

together more closely for a better surround sound experience.

Yamaha’s Audio Technologies

This unit features many more functions based on Yamaha’s superior

audio technologies.

This technology enhances and extends bass and treble, which tend

to be weak in digitally compressed formats such as MP3 used with

portable digital audio players and computers. This makes

compressed audio sound more musically dynamic.

This technology enables precise digital recreation of actual acoustic

environments found in well-known concert halls and movie theaters.

This is achieved using Yamaha’s exclusive sound field programs,

which are based on data measured in various sound fields, and with

which the amplitude, depth, and volume of sounds have been

adjusted.

These headphones are used to virtually reproduce sound fields. They

provide a more natural and full surround sound experience.

APPENDIX ➤ Glossary En 77

Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth

These are values that represent the amount of information used to

convert analog signals to digital signals. They may be expressed as

48kHz/24bit, for example.

• Sampling Frequency

This defines the number of samples per second (sampling a finite

set of discrete values in an analog signal). The higher the

sampling rate, the broader the range of frequencies that can be

played back.

• Bit Depth

This defines the amplitude value of sounds when quantifying

analog signals as finite values. The higher the bit depth, the

deeper sounds are reproduced.

Deep Color

This is a video technology supported by the HDMI standard. It

processes RGB or YCbCr signals at bit depths of 10, 12, or 16 bits

per color, whereas conventional formats utilize only 8-bit processing,

enabling reproduction of more colors. Its gamut is comprised of a

billion or more colors, while the gamuts of conventional formats are

comprised of only millions of colors or less. This broader gamut

results in more precise reproduction of colors and greater detail in

darker portions.

Dolby Digital

This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It was

developed by Dolby Laboratories, and is widely used with DVD

discs.

Dolby Digital EX

This technology enables 6.1-channel playback for sources encoded

in the Dolby Digital EX format. It takes the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel

setup one step further with an additional back surround channel.

Dolby Digital Plus

This is a compressed audio format for 7.1 channels developed by

Dolby Laboratories. It is fully compatible with Dolby Digital and is

available for playback on Dolby Digital-enabled audio systems. It is

widely used with Blu-ray Discs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

This technology converts audio signal recorded in 2 channels to

5-channel signal. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for

stereo music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources, and “Game

mode” for game sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

This technology converts not only audio recorded in 2 channels, but

also audio signal recorded in multiple channels to discrete 7-channel

sound. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music

sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources and “Game mode” for

game sources.

Dolby TrueHD

This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by Dolby

Laboratories for high-definition disc-based media to deliver sounds

that are identical, bit for bit, to studio masters for a great home

theater experience. It delivers up to 8 discrete channels of 24-bit/

96-kHz (up to 6 discrete channels of 24-bit/192 kHz) audio

simultaneously, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs.

DTS Digital Surround

This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels developed by

DTS. It is widely used with DVD discs.

DTS Express

This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It provides a

higher compression ratio than the DTS Digital Surround audio format,

and was developed specifically for network streaming and Blu-ray

Disc secondary audio.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

This is a compressed audio format for 24-bit/96-kHz superior sound

quality with 7.1 channels developed by DTS. It is fully compatible

with DTS Digital Surround, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs.

DTS-HD Master Audio

This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by DTS for

high-definition disc-based media to deliver sounds identical, bit for

bit, to studio masters for a great home theater experience. It delivers

up to 8 discrete channels at 24-bit/96 kHz (up to 6 discrete channels

at 24-bit/192 kHz) audio simultaneously, and is widely used with

Blu-ray Discs.

DTS Neo:6

This technology enables discrete 6-channel playback from 2-channel

sources. There are two modes available: “Music mode” for music

sources and “Cinema mode” for movie sources. It provides a channel

split effect similar to sources recorded as discrete surround sound.

HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a digital audio/video

interface that has become an industry standard around the world. It

is capable of transmitting both digital video and audio signals intact

via a single cable. It is also compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection (HDCP) standard. See http://www.hdmi.org for

more information.

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)

This technology records analog audio signals in digital form,

converts analog audio signals to digital audio signals, and transmits

analog audio signals in digital form. It is the underlying technology

for all digital audio signal systems, and is widely used with CDs,

Blu-ray Discs, and many other types of media as a uncompressed

audio format known as Linear PCM.

x.v.Color

This is a color space supported by HDMI. It has become an

international standard for video and offers a broader gamut than

does the sRGB standard for expression of colors never before

possible. It expands the color space while ensuring compatibility

with the sRGB standard for more natural and vivid images.

TROUBLESHOOTING ➤ Pairing the center unit and the subwoofer En 75 APPENDIX Basic Knowledge of Surround Sound What is Surround Sound? What is a Digital Sound Projector? Yamaha’s Audio Technologies Surround sound offers the sense of being surrounded by sounds, an experience common in concert halls and movie theaters. This can be achieved by surrounding the audience with numerous speakers from which sound is output uniformly in all directions. This “surround sound” technology immerses the listener in sound with speakers positioned not only in front of the listener, but also behind and to the sides of the listener, making him or her feel as if they are actually in the situation. For precise directional control and quality of sound reproduction, sounds must be split into separate audio channels for output to each speaker. Surround sound systems for regular home use (7.1-channel speaker systems) produce surround sound using seven speakers and a subwoofer, as shown below: A digital sound projector separately controls compact speakers installed in orderly rows, so that optimized audio signals are output from each speaker and synthesized as highly focused sounds (sound beams). This unit features many more functions based on Yamaha’s superior audio technologies. Typical 7.1 channel speaker system Digital amplifier Center speaker Surround back speakers Surround speakers This technology enhances and extends bass and treble, which tend to be weak in digitally compressed formats such as MP3 used with portable digital audio players and computers. This makes compressed audio sound more musically dynamic. Speaker CINEMA DSP Sound beams are emitted in the target direction Front speakers Subwoofer Compressed Music Enhancer When these focused sounds hit a hard wall, they are reflected off of the wall. A digital sound projector outputs sound beams from five channels, including front (left/right), center, and surround (left/right) channels, by reflecting these beams off of walls so that sounds reach the listener from the appropriate direction. It features a technology that enables true surround sound without requiring the installation of speakers in front of, or behind, the listener. By combining front and surround channel signals, it can also create two new channels, for a total of seven, so that all channels work together more closely for a better surround sound experience. This technology enables precise digital recreation of actual acoustic environments found in well-known concert halls and movie theaters. This is achieved using Yamaha’s exclusive sound field programs, which are based on data measured in various sound fields, and with which the amplitude, depth, and volume of sounds have been adjusted. Virtual Surround Headphones These headphones are used to virtually reproduce sound fields. They provide a more natural and full surround sound experience. The sound image of the system As explained above, sounds can be reproduced for a great sense of presence by installing multiple speakers. However, this can be difficult to do in a living room. This unit utilizes “digital sound projector” technology to provide a realistic and engaging surround sound experience using only a slim center unit and subwoofer. APPENDIX ➤ Basic Knowledge of Surround Sound En 76 Glossary Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth Dolby Pro Logic IIx HDMI These are values that represent the amount of information used to convert analog signals to digital signals. They may be expressed as 48kHz/24bit, for example. This technology converts not only audio recorded in 2 channels, but also audio signal recorded in multiple channels to discrete 7-channel sound. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources and “Game mode” for game sources. High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a digital audio/video interface that has become an industry standard around the world. It is capable of transmitting both digital video and audio signals intact via a single cable. It is also compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard. See http://www.hdmi.org for more information. • Sampling Frequency This defines the number of samples per second (sampling a finite set of discrete values in an analog signal). The higher the sampling rate, the broader the range of frequencies that can be played back. • Bit Depth This defines the amplitude value of sounds when quantifying analog signals as finite values. The higher the bit depth, the deeper sounds are reproduced. Deep Color This is a video technology supported by the HDMI standard. It processes RGB or YCbCr signals at bit depths of 10, 12, or 16 bits per color, whereas conventional formats utilize only 8-bit processing, enabling reproduction of more colors. Its gamut is comprised of a billion or more colors, while the gamuts of conventional formats are comprised of only millions of colors or less. This broader gamut results in more precise reproduction of colors and greater detail in darker portions. Dolby Digital This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It was developed by Dolby Laboratories, and is widely used with DVD discs. Dolby Digital EX This technology enables 6.1-channel playback for sources encoded in the Dolby Digital EX format. It takes the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel setup one step further with an additional back surround channel. Dolby Digital Plus This is a compressed audio format for 7.1 channels developed by Dolby Laboratories. It is fully compatible with Dolby Digital and is available for playback on Dolby Digital-enabled audio systems. It is widely used with Blu-ray Discs. Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby TrueHD This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by Dolby Laboratories for high-definition disc-based media to deliver sounds that are identical, bit for bit, to studio masters for a great home theater experience. It delivers up to 8 discrete channels of 24-bit/ 96-kHz (up to 6 discrete channels of 24-bit/192 kHz) audio simultaneously, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs. DTS Digital Surround This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels developed by DTS. It is widely used with DVD discs. DTS Express This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It provides a higher compression ratio than the DTS Digital Surround audio format, and was developed specifically for network streaming and Blu-ray Disc secondary audio. Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) This technology records analog audio signals in digital form, converts analog audio signals to digital audio signals, and transmits analog audio signals in digital form. It is the underlying technology for all digital audio signal systems, and is widely used with CDs, Blu-ray Discs, and many other types of media as a uncompressed audio format known as Linear PCM. x.v.Color This is a color space supported by HDMI. It has become an international standard for video and offers a broader gamut than does the sRGB standard for expression of colors never before possible. It expands the color space while ensuring compatibility with the sRGB standard for more natural and vivid images. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio This is a compressed audio format for 24-bit/96-kHz superior sound quality with 7.1 channels developed by DTS. It is fully compatible with DTS Digital Surround, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs. DTS-HD Master Audio This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by DTS for high-definition disc-based media to deliver sounds identical, bit for bit, to studio masters for a great home theater experience. It delivers up to 8 discrete channels at 24-bit/96 kHz (up to 6 discrete channels at 24-bit/192 kHz) audio simultaneously, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs. DTS Neo:6 This technology enables discrete 6-channel playback from 2-channel sources. There are two modes available: “Music mode” for music sources and “Cinema mode” for movie sources. It provides a channel split effect similar to sources recorded as discrete surround sound. This technology converts audio signal recorded in 2 channels to 5-channel signal. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for stereo music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources, and “Game mode” for game sources.
