PREPARATION

■ Speaker placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the

speakers.

Main speakers

Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance

from the ideal listening position. The distance between

each speaker and each side of the video monitor should

also be the same.

Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front

face of your video 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.

Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position,

facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 feet) above the

floor.

Rear center speaker

Place the rear center speaker in the center between the

rear left and right speakers at the same height from the

floor as the rear speakers.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because

low bass sounds are not highly directional. However, it is

better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers.

Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce

wall reflections.

Note

• If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear, center and/or

rear center), change the settings of “SOUND 1 SPEAKER

SET” items at the set menu to direct signals to other terminals

you have connected speakers to.

CAUTION

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers

still create interference with the monitor, place the

speakers away from the monitor.

Connecting the speakers

■ Speakers

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound-

field quality with a 6-speaker system, using main left and

right speakers, rear left and right speakers, a center

speaker, and a rear 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 manufacturer or speakers

with the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound

plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers

from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are

used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is

for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The rear center

speaker supplements the rear (left and right) speakers and

provides for more realistic front-to-back transitions.

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 the

models of equivalent performance with the main

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 Dolby Digital or DTS signals. The

YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is

ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

Input modes and indications

This unit is equipped with a variety of input jacks. You

can select the type of input signals you wish to use.

Each time you turn on the unit power, the input mode is

set to the “INPUT 2 INPUT MODE” setting defined in

the set menu.

Press INPUT MODE repeatedly until the

desired input mode is shown on the front

panel display.

AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is selected

automatically as follows:

1) Digital signal

2) Analog signal

DTS: In this mode, only digital input signals

encoded with DTS are selected, even if the

unit is receiving another signal

simultaneously.

ANALOG: In this mode, only analog input signals are

selected, even the unit is receiving digital

signals at the same time.

Notes

• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines

the type of signal. If it detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal,

the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting.

• When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on

some LD or DVD players, there is a delay in sound output for

a moment when playback resumes after a search, because the

unit must select the digital signal again.

• When playing a LD source that has not been digitally

recorded, the unit may not output any sound for some LD

players. In this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.

INPUT MODE

Front panel

Input mode

■ Notes on digital signals

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96 kHz

sampling digital signals. Note the following when a

digital signal with a sampling frequency greater than 48

kHz is input to this unit:

• You cannot use any DSP programs.

• The unit will output sound as 2-channel stereo from the

main left and right speakers only. Therefore, you

cannot adjust the level of the effect speakers while

listening to such a source.

■ Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs

• If the digital output data of the player has been

processed in any way, the unit may not be able to

perform DTS decoding even if there is a digital

connection between this unit and the player.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set

the input mode to ANALOG, the unit may reproduce

the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case,

connect the source to a digital input jack on this unit

and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.

• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while

playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, the unit

does not output any sound.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with

the input mode set to AUTO;

– The unit automatically switches to the DTS-

decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up)

after detecting the DTS signal. When playback of

the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator

may flash. While this indicator is flashing, the unit

can only reproduce DTS source. If you want to play

a normal PCM source immediately, change the input

mode back to AUTO.

– When the input mode is set to AUTO and a search

or skip operation is performed during playback of a

DTS source, the “t” indicator may flash. If this

state continues for longer than 30 seconds, the unit

will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding”

mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t”

indicator will turn off.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)

Understanding sound fields

A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a

particular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hear

early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound

produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and

other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives

each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.

YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to

measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music

venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the

direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then

we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this

unit.

■ Recreating a sound field

Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your

listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound

field. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.

The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the

virtual sound sources and fully encompass the listener.

Hi-Fi DSP programs

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 recreations of actual acoustic environments.

A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from all directions

emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great deal of presence, and your virtual

seat is near the center, close to the stage.

This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz club, that

seats up to 300 people. Its wide left to right seating arrangement offers a real and vibrant sound.

The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was recorded at LA’s

“hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left of the hall.

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city. The

sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate”

sound.

Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field suitable for

background music at parties, etc.

CINEMA-DSP

Sound design of CINEMA-DSP

Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread

even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with

the images on the screen.

CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP

integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field

programs to provide a surround sound field. It recreates comprehensive movie sound design in your audio room. In

CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the Main left and right, and

Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources,

and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.

When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the

most suitable sound field program for that signal.

This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The

program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth using only the presence sound

field.

Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field employs the sound

environment of a large concert hall. This effect enhances the experience of watching various TV

programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs.

Features

This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It

precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field

incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround,

Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).

This program 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.

This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and

multichannel soundtrack 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.

This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films,

and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is

relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the

echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.

The built-in decoder reproduces source sounds and sound-effects precisely.

No DSP effect is applied in this program.

This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film

theaters. Dolby Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and digital

sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound orienta-

tion.

The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from

the back to the left and right, and toward the screen.

Sound field effects

The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without

using matrix processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs provide the same quality of sound and sound

localization that 6-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality

sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With this unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs, you can use Dolby

Digital or DTS technology to recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being in a public theater.

■ Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect

These programs use YAMAHA’s tri-field DSP processing

on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front,

left surround, and right surround channels. This

processing enables this unit to reproduce the immense

sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital-

or DTS-equipped movie theater without sacrificing the

clear separation of all channels.

■ Dolby Digital EX/DTS-ES + DSP sound field effect

These programs provide you with the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects by adding an extra rear

center DSP sound field created from the rear center channel.

■ Dolby Pro Logic + DSP sound field effect

Most movie material has 4-channel (left, center, right, and

surround) sound information encoded by Dolby Surround

matrix processing and stored on the left and right tracks.

These signals are processed by the Dolby Pro Logic

decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs are designed

to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of

sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding

processes.

■ Dolby Pro Logic II/DTS Neo:6

This unit comes with Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 decoders which decode 2-channel Dolby Surround data into

five or six full range channels. Both decoders have two modes, MOVIE/CINEMA for movies, and MUSIC for 2-

channel sources.

Notes

• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

• When this unit is set in standby mode, you cannot record

between the components connected to it.

• DSP programs and volume, bass, and treble settings do not

affect the recorded material.

• You cannot record from a source connected to the 6CH

INPUT jacks on this unit.

• Input sources are not output to the same OUT (REC) channel.

(For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output to

VCR 1 OUT.)

• This unit’s DIGITAL OUTPUT jack and analog OUT(REC)

jacks are independent. To record a source using a digital

recording component connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT

jack, connect the source component to one of the DIGITAL

INPUT jacks.

• Check the copyright laws in your country if you wish to

record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of

copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

If you playback 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.

■ Special considerations when recording

DTS material

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to

digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise

being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to

record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,

the following considerations and adjustments need to be

made.

For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, follow the

operating instructions of your player to set it to output an

SOUND 2 SP DISTANCE

(speaker distance)

Use this feature to adjust the delay applied to center and

rear center channel sounds. This feature works when there

is sound output from the center speakers with a source

such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Ideally, the center speaker

and the rear speakers should be the same distance from

the main listening position as the left and right main

speakers. However, in most home situations, the center

speaker or the rear center speaker is placed in line with

the main speakers or the rear speakers. By delaying the

sound from the center speaker and the rear speakers, you

can adjust the apparent distance from the center speaker

and the rear speakers to the main listening position to

make it seem the same as the distance between the

listening position and main left and right speakers.

1 Press u / d to select “UNIT”.

2 Press j / i to select the unit “meters” or

“feet” to be used in setting.

3 Press u / d to select the speaker for which

you want to adjust the delay.
