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. 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. ■ Special Instructions for U.K. Model IMPORTANT THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: Blue: NEUTRAL Brown: LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

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 highperformance 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. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction. Speaker Placement Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers. Main speaker (R) Rear speaker (R) Subwoofer Main speaker (L) 1.8 m Center speaker Rear speaker (L) ■ 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 sound will be heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 35 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. 8 0103V396RDS08-18_EN 8 1/6/0, 7:33 PM  CONNECTIONS INTRODUCTION 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.

In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals. ■ Indoor FM antenna (included) Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The indoor FM antenna is only a simple antenna. For reception with better sound quality, installing the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) is recommended. Indoor FM antenna Note • Do not connect an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM antenna at the same time. ■ Outdoor FM antenna You may be unable to obtain good FM radio reception depending on your local conditions (distance from the broadcasting station, interposing buildings and mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or authorized service center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local conditions. Install the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) in a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid being affected by automobile ignition noise. 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (included for U.K. model) 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (included for U.K. model) 300-ohm feeder ■ Connecting a coaxial cable to the included 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (U.K. model only) 2 1 Cover 11 (7/16) 8 (5/16) 6 (1/14) 3 Unit: mm (inch) 1 Open the cover of the included 75-ohm/ 300-ohm antenna adapter. 2 Cut the external sleeve of the 75-ohm coaxial cable and prepare it for connection. 3 4 Cut the lead wire and remove it. 5 Snap the cover into place.

INTRODUCTION 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 theaterlike 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). 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. No. PROGRAM 1 q SURROUND SUBPROGRAM [1] PRO LOGIC/Normal ( o ) • Input source: [3] PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED (ox) • Input source: This program ideally simulates the multisurround speaker systems of the 35 mm-film movie theater. Dolby Pro Logic decoding or Dolby Digital 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.

It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, giving both the video and the sound field incredible reality. It is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital (especially large-scale movie productions). 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 and Dolby Digitalencoded software employing the most advanced techniques. 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 threedimensional 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. 24 0105V396RDS23-25_EN 24 1/6/0, 7:35 PM  SOUND FIELD PROGRAM No. 4 PROGRAM MONO MOVIE This program is designed specifically to enhance monaural sources.

APPENDIX English 29 0106V396RDS26-29_EN 29 1/18/0, 3:11 PM  RECEIVING RDS STATIONS Radio Data System (RDS) is a data transmission system by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), etc. The RDS function is carried out among the network stations. Description of RDS Data This unit can receive PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT, and EON data when receiving RDS broadcasting stations. ■ PS (Program Service name) mode: The name of the RDS station being received is displayed. ■ PTY (Program Type) mode: The program type on the RDS station being received is displayed. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. You can make this unit search for a station which is broadcasting a program of the desired type. Refer to page 31 for details. ■ RT (Radio Text) mode: Information about the program (such as the title of the song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being received is displayed by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters, including the umlaut symbol. If other characters are used for RT data, they are displayed with under-bars. Changing the RDS Mode The four modes are available in this unit for displaying RDS data. When an RDS station is being received, PS, PTY, RT and/or CT that correspond to the RDS data services offered by the station light up on the display. Press RDS MODE/ FREQ repeatedly to change the display mode among the RDS data offered by the transmitting station in the order shown below. Illumination of the red indicator next to the RDS mode indicator shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now selected. Notes • When an RDS station is being received, do not press RDS MODE/FREQ until one or more RDS mode indicators light up on the display. If you press the button before the indicators light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because the unit has not yet received all of the RDS data on the station. • RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected. • The RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received signal is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode requires a large amount of data to be received, so it is possible that the RT mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed. • RDS data cannot sometimes be receive under poor reception conditions. If so, press TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO” indicator goes off from the display. Although the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the display to RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed. • If the signal strength is weakened by external interference during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the display. PS mode ■ CT (Clock Time) mode: PTY mode The current time is displayed and updated every minute. If the data are accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may appear. ■ EON (Enhanced Other Networks): RT mode Refer to page 32.

MAIN SP Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE SML (Small) Select this position if you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position). 4. BASS OUT Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH Preset position: BOTH Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE Note LARGE Select this position if your rear speakers have high ability for bass reproduction, or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel to the rear speaker. In this position, full-range signals on the rear channels are directed to the rear speakers. MAIN Select this position if your system does not include a subwoofer. In this position, besides full-range signals on the main channels, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals (below 90 Hz) that are distributed from other channels are directed to the right and left main speakers. BOTH Select this position if your system includes a subwoofer. In this position, signals on the LFE channel are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. Low bass signals on the main channels are directed to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. APPENDIX SMALL Select this position if your rear speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position). • When playing a 2-channel source (tape, MD, CD, video cassette etc.), select the BOTH position to direct low bass signals (below 90 Hz) to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminals. ADVANCED OPERATION SW Select this position if your system includes a subwoofer. In this position, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are distributed from other channels are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal when playing a source encoded with Dobly Digital. 2. REAR SP BASIC OPERATION NONE Select this position if you do not have a center speaker (4-speaker system). In this position, full-range signals on the center channel are directed to the right and left main speakers. SMALL Select this position if your main speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “BASS OUT” is set to the SW or BOTH position. PREPARATION LRG (Large) Select this position if your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers. In this position, fullrange signals on the center channel are directed to the center speaker. LARGE Select this position if your main speakers have high ability for bass reproduction.

INTRODUCTION Choices: LRG (Large)/SML (Small)/NONE Preset position: LRG (Large) English 35 0108V396RDS34-40_EN 35 1/6/0, 7:36 PM  SET MENU 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 EXTERNAL DECODER 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. 36 0108V396RDS34-40_EN 36 1/6/0, 7:36 PM  SET MENU 8. CNTR DELAY (Adjusting the delay of the center sound) 9. MEM. GUARD (Locking the settings) Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms steps) Preset value: 0 ms Choices: ON/OFF Preset position: OFF • This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contains center channel signals. 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.SAT INPUT (Selecting the initial input mode for a source connected to the SAT/D-TV input terminals) Choices: AUTO/LAST Preset position: AUTO AUTO In this position, the input mode is always set to AUTO. ADVANCED OPERATION LAST In this position, the input mode is automatically set to that selected the last time when the power of this unit was turned on. BASIC OPERATION The input mode for a source connected to the SAT/D-TV input terminals of this unit can be automatically set when the power of this unit is turned on. Refer to page 21 for details about the input mode. PREPARATION 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. 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 locked: • Settings of other items in the SET MENU • Settings in the TIME/LEVEL mode • Settings when using TEST INTRODUCTION Note APPENDIX English 37 0108V396RDS34-40_EN 37 1/6/0, 7:36 PM  DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder or Dolby Digital decoder, you can adjust the delay time between the main sound and sound effect, and each speaker’s output level as you wish. 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. Preset Control Program value range (ms) 1.

Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater. However, YAMAHA DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital. The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital. ■ Dolby Digital ■ LFE 0.1 Channel This channel is for reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is called the channel 0.1 because it only reproduces a low frequency range compared to the full-range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz that is reproduced by the 5 channels in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel system. BASIC OPERATION Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the “LFE channel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total. The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before. PREPARATION ■ CINEMA DSP CINEMA DSP Dolby Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.
