Installing Batteries in the Remote

Control

1 Open the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert three supplied batteries (LR6) in the

correct direction by aligning the + and –

marks on the batteries with the polarity

markings (+ and –) on the inside of the

battery compartment.

3 After new batteries are correctly inserted,

press the RESET button in the battery

compartment using a ball point pen or

similar object. (This does not clear the

contents of the memory.)

4 Replace the cover as pressing until it snaps

into place.

■ Notes on batteries

• Change all of the batteries if you notice the condition

like; the operating range of the remote control

decreases, the indicator does not flash or its light

becomes dim.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline

and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging

carefully as these different types of batteries may have

the same shape and color.

• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them

immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or

letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean

the battery compartment thoroughly before installing

new batteries.

If the remote control is without batteries for more than

3 minutes, or if exhausted batteries remain in the

remote control, the contents of the memory may be

cleared. When the memory is cleared, insert new

batteries, set up the manufacturer code and program

any acquired functions that may have been cleared.

SPEAKER SETUP

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound-

field quality with an 8-speaker system, using left and right

main speakers, left and right rear speakers, left and right

front effect speakers and a center and rear center

speakers. 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 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.). The

front effect speakers are used for the effect sound. If for

some reason it is not practical to use one of speakers (for

example, 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 the

models of equivalent performance with the main

speakers.

PREPARATION

■ 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

the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back.

The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer

System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

CAUTION

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of

speakers still creates the interference with a monitor,

place the speakers away from the monitor.

SPEAKER SETUP

■ Rear center speaker

Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left

and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor

as the rear speakers.

■ Front effect speakers

Place the front effect speakers about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 feet)

outside the main speakers and in front of the room, facing

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

■ 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.

■ Main speakers

Place the left and right main 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

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, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the

floor.

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

• If you do not use any effect speakers (rear, front effect, center and/or rear center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items in the

SET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to.

0103DSPAZ2_10-22_EN(GB) 02.8.22, 0:15 PM11

SPEAKER SETUP

Connecting the 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

• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could

damage this unit and/or speakers.

If necessary, use the SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers

in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.

■ Speaker cables

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables

running side by side. One of the cables is colored or

shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable

together to prevent short circuits.

■ Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals

1 Unscrew the knob.

2 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

3 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

(For General and China models)

• Banana plug connections are also possible. First, tighten the

knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of

the corresponding terminal.

1 Press TEST to output the

test tone.

2 Adjust the volume so you can hear the test

tone.

This section explains how to adjust the speaker output

levels by using the test tone generator. The “TEST

DOLBY SUR.” is for balancing the output levels of the

six speakers required for surround sound systems. The

“TEST DSP” is for balancing the front effect speakers

with the main speakers for the DSP sound field programs.

When this adjustment is made, the output level heard at

the listening position will be the same from each speaker.

This is important for the best performance of the digital

sound field processor, and various decoders (Dolby

Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic

, DTS, DTS

ES, and DTS Neo: 6).

The adjustment of each speaker output level should be

made at your listening position with the remote control.

Note

• Since this unit cannot enter the test mode while headphones are

connected to this unit, be sure to unplug the headphones from

the PHONES jack when using the test tone.

Input Modes and Indications

This unit comes with various input jacks. You can set the

priority of the input signal among different types of input

signals.

Press (INPUT) MODE (the input selector

button that you have pressed to select the

input source on the remote control)

repeatedly until the desired input mode is

shown on the front panel display and on the

video monitor.

AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is

automatically selected in the following

order:

1) Digital signal

2) Analog signal

DTS: In this mode, only the digital input signal

encoded with DTS is selected even if

another signal is input at the same time.

ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal is

selected even if a digital signal is input at

the same time.

Notes

• If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and

OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack

has precedence over the OPTICAL jack.

• In playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on

some LD or DVD players, the sound output delays for a

moment when playback resumes after a search because the

digital signal is selected again.

• When playing the LD source that has not been digitally

recorded, the sound may not be output for some LD players. In

this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.

• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the

type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS

signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate

setting.

• When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode is set

according to “8 INPUT MODE” on the SET MENU (see page

63 for details).

■ Notes on the digital signal

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle up to a

96 kHz sampling digital signal. However when inputting

a higher digital signal than 48 kHz, be aware of the

following points.

• Sound effect will be added to the signals after converting the

sampling frequency to 48 kHz or below.

• When the sound effect is turned off by pressing STEREO/

EFFECT, this unit reproduces sound in 2-channel stereo at the

sampling frequency of the input signal.

■ Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs

• 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 a source encoded with a DTS signal and

set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces

the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you

want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the

source to a digital input jack 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, this unit

reproduces no sound.

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

the input mode set to AUTO;

– This unit automatically switches to the DTS-

decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up.)

after having detected the DTS signal. When playback

of the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator

may flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTS

source can be played. If you want to play a normal

PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

– The “t” indicator may flash when a search or

skip operation is performed while the DTS source is

playing back with the input mode set to AUTO. If

this status continues for longer than 30 seconds, this

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.

Hi-Fi DSP Programs

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 in a full circle around the listener.

CINEMA-DSP

Filmmakers intend 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 the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In

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

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)

Sound Field Effect

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 recreate a

dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your listening room by using Dolby Digital or

DTS technology.

■ 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 since an extra rear center

DSP sound field created from the rear center channel is added.

■ Dolby Pro Logic + DSP sound field effect

Most movie software 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 for 2-channel

sources 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 /DTS Neo: 6

Dolby Pro Logic and DTS Neo: 6 equipped on this unit decode the 2-channel Dolby Surround software into five or

six full range channels. They also provide two modes; MOVIE/CINEMA for movies and MUSIC for 2-channel sources.

• Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES decoder for an additional rear center channel

• DTS 96/24 decoder for the high quality playback of the DTS 96/24 signal at the sampling frequency 96 kHz.

• Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic /DTS Neo:6 decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources

Select any of the STRAIGHT DECODE modes in Program 11 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced.”) to use any of

these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied

and the DSP indicator turns off.

BASIC RECORDING

REC OUT allows you to record one source while

watching and/or listening to another source.

Recording adjustments and other operations are

performed from the recording components. Refer to the

operation instructions for these components.

1 Turn on the power to this unit and all

connected components.

2 Select the source component you want to

record from by using REC OUT.

• To record the current input source that you are

watching or listening to, set REC OUT to

SOURCE.

• To record a source other than the one that you are

watching or listening to, set REC OUT to the

source you want to record.

Note

• At this setting, you can change the source to listen to or watch

during recording by rotating INPUT (one of the input selector

buttons on the remote control).

3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)

on the source component.

4 Start recording on the recording component.

• Setting REC OUT to SOURCE and using the BGV function

(see page 29) allows the recording of audio and video from a

different source.

Notes

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

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

between other components connected to this unit.

• The setting of BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION,

VOLUME, “3 L/R BALANCE” on the SET MENU and DSP

programs does not affect the recorded material.

• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit

cannot be recorded.

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently

through this unit’s video circuits. 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 by your VCR.

• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT

channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not

output on 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.

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 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 LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your

player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its

operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog

signal will be output from the player.

■ Timer playback/recording

This unit can perform playback or recording with an

external timer (not supplied). Refer to the operation

instruction for the component and the timer to be used.

Notes

• The stored data such as input source will be reflected in the

playback or recording with the timer.

• If you do not want any sound output during the recording with

a timer, turn the volume down.

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data

(input source, volume level, set menu settings and so

on) from being lost even if this unit is in the standby

mode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However if

the timer is turned off for more than one week, the

stored data will be lost.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

The remote control can operate other A/V components of YAMAHA and other manufacturers as well as this unit. To

control those components, you must set up remote control with the manufacturer codes.

This remote control also has two sophisticated features: Learn and Macro. The Learn feature allows it to acquire

functions from the remote controls of other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with

an infrared remote control receiver. The Macro feature allows you to program a series of operations in sequence for

operation by a single button, or to use the factory-set macros to operate other YAMAHA components. These features

make it possible for you to reduce the number of remote control in your entertainment room.

Notes

• For the operating distance of the remote control and notes about batteries, see pages 3 and 7.

• For the name and function of each part and button, see pages 6 and 7.

Notes

• Supplied remote control does not store all the manufacturer

codes for commercially available AV components (including

Yamaha AV components). Therefore it may not work to operate

your AV component. If operation is not possible with any of the

manufacturer codes, program the new remote control function

with the Learn feature or use the remote control for the

component.

• If you have already programmed a remote control function for a

button, the function by learning programming takes priority

over the setup manufacturer code’s function.

•“ERROR” appears in the display window when pressing

buttons other than indicated in each step, or more than one

button at once.

Learn Feature

If you want to program functions not included in the basic

operations covered by the manufacturer code, or a

manufacturer code is not available, the following

procedure needs to be performed. The possible

programming area is the same as a component control

area, so the buttons are programmable independently for

each source component area.

Note

• This remote control transmits infrared rays. If the other remote

control also uses infrared rays, this remote control can learn

most of the other remote control’s functions. However, you

may not be able to program some special signals or extremely

long transmissions. (Refer to the operation instructions for the

other remote control.)

■ Programming a new remote

control function

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES

Using the Macro Feature

The Macro feature makes it possible to perform a series of operations by pressing just one button. For example, when

you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the components, select the CD input, and press the play button to

start playback. The Macro feature lets you perform all those operations by simply pressing the CD macro button. The

macro buttons (the input selector buttons, Å and ı buttons, SYSTEM POWER and STANDBY) are factory set with

macro programs. You can also program your own macros (see page 46).

*1 In order to turn on some components (including YAMAHA components) connected to this unit, connect those

components to the AC OUTLET(S) on the rear panel. (Power control may not be synchronized with this unit

depending on the component. For details, please refer to the operation instruction for the connected component.)

*2 If the macro you select includes power control functions, the component may be turned off if it is already on when

you press the macro button. For example, if your TV is on and you press the SYSTEM POWER macro button, the

TV is turned off.

*3 By factory setting, playback can be started with any YAMAHA remote control-compatible MD recorders, CD

players, CD recorders, DVD players, and LD players. When using macros to operate other components, it is either

necessary to program the PLAY button on the control area of that component (see pages 43 and 44) or to set up a

manufacturer code (see page 42).

*4 When TUNER is selected as the input source, YAMAHA tuners receive the last station when this unit is set in the

standby mode.

2 Press a macro button for which you want to

program the macro operation.

The button you chose for programming the macro

operation and the selected component name appear

alternately in the display window.

Note

•“AGAIN” appears in the display window when a button other

than the macro buttons is pressed.

3 Press the buttons of the functions that you

want to include in the macro operation

sequence in order.

• You can set up to 10 steps (10 functions). After you have set 10

steps, “FULL” appears and the remote control automatically

exits from the macro mode.

Notes

•“NG” appears in the display window when programming has

not been done correctly. In this case, start over from step 2.

• If you want to change the source component, use SOURCE

SELECT k / n. When you use the input selector buttons,

selecting the input is programmed as a macro step, whereas

SOURCE SELECT k / n only changes the component.

■ Operating the macro

1 Set MACRO ON/OFF to ON.

2 Press a macro button.

Notes

• When you have finished using the Macro feature, set MACRO

ON/OFF to OFF.

• While this unit is carrying out a macro program, this unit does

not receive any other button’s function until the macro

operation has been completed (the TRANSMIT indicator stops

flashing).

• Continue to aim the remote control at the component the macro

is operating until the macro operation has been completed.

■ Programming a macro

You can program your own macros and use the Macro

feature to transmit many remote control commands by

pressing a single button.

Notes

• The factory-set macro is not cleared when a new macro is

programmed for a button. The factory-set macro can be used

again when the programmed macro is cleared.

• It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the

factory-set macro. Programming a macro changes all macro

contents.

• A macro programming is used to transmit learning or setup (or

YAMAHA preset) button signals of this remote control to a

macro button. If necessary, set up the manufacturer code or

program a function with the remote control for your

component.

• This remote control handles button signals that operate

continuously, such as volume control, as short time interval

codes. Macro programming that include these types of macro

steps are therefore not recommended.

1 Press MACRO by using a ballpoint pen or

similar object.

“MCR ?” appears in the display window.

■ About the test tone

The test tone is produced by the tone generator.

The tone generator produces a narrow-band noise

centered on a specified frequency by the band pass filter

beside a wide-band noise.

You can change this center frequency from 35 Hz through

250 Hz in one-sixth octave steps.

You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the

subwoofer level, but also for checking the low-frequency

characteristics of your listening room. Low-frequency

sounds are especially affected by the listener’s position,

speaker placement, subwoofer polarity and other

conditions.

APPENDIX

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING

What Is a Sound Field?

What really 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 actually 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.

Sound Field Program Parameters

DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine

the apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from

you to the performer, etc. In each program, these

parameters are set with values precisely calculated by

YAMAHA to create a sound field unique to the program.

It is recommended to use DSP programs without

changing the values of parameters; however, this unit also

allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with

one of the built-in programs, you can adjust those

parameters.

Each DSP program has a set of parameters that allow you

to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment

to precisely create the effect you want. These parameters

correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create

the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or

other listening environment. The size of the room, for

example, affects the length of time between the early

reflections. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter provided in

many of the DSP programs alters the timing between

these reflections, thus changing the shape of the “room”

you are listening. In addition to room size, the shape of

the room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a

significant effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb

sound, for example, cause the reflections and

reverberations to die out more quickly, while highly

reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a

longer period of time. The digital sound field parameters

allow you to control these and many other factors that

contribute to your personal sound field, allowing you to

essentially “redesign” the concert halls, theaters, etc.

provided to create custom-tailored listening environments

that ideally match your mood and music.

See “DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER

DESCRIPTIONS” on pages 71 to 74.

When you set the parameter to

a value other than the factory-

appears by the parameter name

on the video monitor.

6 Repeat steps 3 to 5 above as necessary to

change other program parameters.

Notes

• The available parameters may be displayed on more than one

OSD page for some of the programs. To scroll through pages,

press k / n.

• You cannot change parameter values when “14 MEMORY

GUARD” on the SET MENU is set to ON. If you want to

change the parameter values, set “14 MEMORY GUARD” to

OFF (see page 66).

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data

from being lost even if this unit is set in the standby

mode, the power cord is disconnected from the AC

outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to

power failure. However, if the power is cut for more

than one week, the parameter value you edited will

return to the factory setting. If so, edit the parameter

value again.

Resetting a Parameter to the

Factory-set Value

■ To reset some of the parameters

to the factory-set values

Select the parameter you want to reset. Then press and

hold –/+ until the value temporarily stops at the factory-

set value. The asterisk mark (*) by the parameter name

disappears on the video monitor.

■ To reset all of the parameters to

the factory-set values

Use “9 PARAM. INI” on the SET MENU to reset all of

the parameter values of all DSP programs within the

selected group to the factory-set values (see page 63).

This operation resets all of the parameter values of all

DSP programs within that group to the factory-set values.

Changing Parameter Settings

You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory-set

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.

Description: Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect

level relative to the direct sound.

■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)

[P. INT. DLY for the presence sound field] Control Range 1 – 99 msec

Function: This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the

direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.

Description: The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther

the apparent distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, and for a

large room, it would be set to a large value.

Function: This parameter adjusts the delay for surround signals and surround sound field.

■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay) Control Range 1 – 49 msec

Function: This parameter 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 rear

channels are used.

■ S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size) Control Range 0.1 – 2.0

Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field.

■ S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness) Control Range 0 –10

Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.

■ RC INIT. DLY (Rear Center Initial Delay) Control Range 1 – 49 msec

Function: This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the rear center

sound field.

■ RC ROOM SIZE (Rear Center Room Size) Control Range 0.1 – 2.0

Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the rear center sound field.

■ RC LIVENESS (Rear Center Liveness) Control Range 0 – 10

Description: The early reflections of a sound source 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.

GLOSSARY

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording

system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects:

two left and right main channels (stereo), a center channel

for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special

sound effects (monaural). The rear 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

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that

gives you completely independent multi-channel audio.

With three front channels (left, center and right), and two

rear stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides five full-

range audio channels. With an additional channel

especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency

effect), the system has a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is

counted as 0.1 channel).

Using two-channel stereo for the rear speakers, more

accurate moving sound effects and surround sound

environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The

wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum

volume) reproduced by the five full-range channels and

the precise sound orientation generated using digital

sound processing provide listeners with previously

unheard of excitement and realism.

With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up

to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for

your enjoyment.

■ Dolby Digital Surround EX

This unit is equipped with the Dolby Digital decoder that

can reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center

channel. (The sound to be output from a rear center

speaker is created by mixing the content of rear L/R

channels.) This decoder is the most suitable to reproduce

the soundtrack for the movies recorded by Dolby Digital

Surround EX. You can enjoy dynamic and realistic sounds

by adding another channel.

■ Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is the improved technique to decode

vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This

new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback

with two left and right main channels, a center channel,

and two left and right rear channels compared with one

limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic

technology. Also the music mode is available for 2-

channel sources in addition to the movie mode.

■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog

soundtracks of movies with a six-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 is practically distortion-free, clear 6-channel

sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, two

rear channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer,

for a total of 5.1 channels).

■ DTS ES (Extended Surround)

This unit is equipped with the DTS ES decoder that can

reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center

channel. The DTS ES decoder on this unit is compatible

with the two types of format: Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1.

The DTS ES Discrete decoder enables the 6.1-channel

playback by adding a rear center channel recorded

independently from the 5.1 channels. The DTS ES Matrix

decoder enables the 6.1-channel playback by adding a

rear center created from the rear L/R channels. This

decoder is the most suitable to reproduce the music or the

soundtrack of the movies recorded by DTS ES.

■ Neo: 6

Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6

channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables

playback with the full-range channels with higher

separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two

modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music

sources and “Cinema mode” for movies.

■ DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1

channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz / 24 bit by

using the data for extension of a DTS signal, that is

recorded on the DTS 96/24 software.

0112DSPAZ2_79-81_EN(GB) 02.8.22, 0:17 PM79

GLOSSARY

■ 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 channels in a Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1 channel systems.

■ CINEMA DSP

DIGITAL

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 as well. 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 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 even without any rear speakers by using

virtual rear speakers.

It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP in a

minimum two-speaker system that does not include a

center speaker.

■ S VIDEO signal

With 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.

■ Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal

is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the

and P

signals for the chrominance. Color can

be reproduced more faithfully with this system because

each of these signals is independent. The component

signal is also called the “color difference signal” because

the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.

A monitor with component input jacks is required in

order to use the component signal for output.

■ 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.

■ I/O assignment (SET MENU)

Although component is normally connected according to

jack names shown on the rear panel, this unit includes a

function that assigns jacks according to the component

being connected. If the component being used differs

from the component name shown for this unit’s

component video input jacks or digital input/output jacks,

it is possible to assign jacks according to the component

being connected. This makes it possible to change the

jack assignment and effectively connect more component.

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 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.). The front effect speakers are used for the effect sound. If for some reason it is not practical to use one of speakers (for example, a center speaker), you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. ■ 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 the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction. CAUTION Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor. 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. 10 0103DSPAZ2_10-22_EN(GB) 10 02.8.22, 0:15 PM SPEAKER SETUP Speaker Placement Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers. INTRODUCTION Front effect speaker (R) Center speaker Rear speaker (R) Front effect speaker (L) Main speaker (R) PREPARATION 1.8 m (6 feet) BASIC OPERATION Subwoofer Rear center speaker Main speaker (L) Rear speaker (L) ■ Rear center speaker Place the left and right main 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. Place the rear center speaker in the center between the left and right rear speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers. ■ Center speaker ■ Rear speakers Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor. Place the front effect speakers about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 feet) outside the main speakers and in front of the room, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor. ■ 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. APPENDIX Note • If you do not use any effect speakers (rear, front effect, center and/or rear center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items in the SET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 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. ■ Front effect speakers ADVANCED OPERATION ■ Main speakers English 11 0103DSPAZ2_10-22_EN(GB) 11 02.8.22, 0:15 PM SPEAKER SETUP Connecting the Speakers Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly.

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. Hi-Fi DSP Programs 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 in a full circle around the listener. CINEMA-DSP Filmmakers intend 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 the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the right and left Main 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. L SURROUND SOUND FIELD PRESENCE SOUND FIELD DIALOG EFFECT MUSIC R SURROUND SOUND FIELD 34 0106DSPAZ2_34-39_EN(GB) 34 02.8.22, 0:16 PM DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP) Straight Decode This unit is equipped with various precise decoders; Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES decoder for an additional rear center channel DTS 96/24 decoder for the high quality playback of the DTS 96/24 signal at the sampling frequency 96 kHz. Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic /DTS Neo:6 decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources Select any of the STRAIGHT DECODE modes in Program 11 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced.”) to use any of these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied and the DSP indicator turns off. 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 recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being at a public theater in your listening room by using Dolby Digital or DTS technology. 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 DTSequipped movie theater without sacrificing the clear separation of all channels. Presence DSP sound field Right surround DSP sound field ■ Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES + DSP sound field effect These programs provide you with the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects since an extra rear center DSP sound field created from the rear center channel is added. Most movie software 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 for 2-channel sources are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes. Presence DSP sound field Surround DSP sound field /DTS Neo: 6 Dolby Pro Logic and DTS Neo: 6 equipped on this unit decode the 2-channel Dolby Surround software into five or six full range channels. They also provide two modes; MOVIE/CINEMA for movies and MUSIC for 2-channel sources.

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 by your VCR. • A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on 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. 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 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 LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player. ■ Timer playback/recording This unit can perform playback or recording with an external timer (not supplied). Refer to the operation instruction for the component and the timer to be used. Notes • The stored data such as input source will be reflected in the playback or recording with the timer. • If you do not want any sound output during the recording with a timer, turn the volume down. Memory back-up The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data (input source, volume level, set menu settings and so on) from being lost even if this unit is in the standby mode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However if the timer is turned off for more than one week, the stored data will be lost. 40 0107DSPAZ2_40-40_EN(GB) 40 02.8.22, 0:16 PM REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES This remote control also has two sophisticated features: Learn and Macro. The Learn feature allows it to acquire functions from the remote controls of other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with an infrared remote control receiver. The Macro feature allows you to program a series of operations in sequence for operation by a single button, or to use the factory-set macros to operate other YAMAHA components. These features make it possible for you to reduce the number of remote control in your entertainment room.

The tone generator produces a narrow-band noise centered on a specified frequency by the band pass filter beside a wide-band noise. You can change this center frequency from 35 Hz through 250 Hz in one-sixth octave steps. You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the subwoofer level, but also for checking the low-frequency characteristics of your listening room. Low-frequency sounds are especially affected by the listener’s position, speaker placement, subwoofer polarity and other conditions. Digital generator (wide band noise produced) Notes • ON cannot be selected when the headphones are being used. • Setting turns to OFF if the headphones are connected during testing. • Do not turn up the volume too high. • If no test tone is heard, turn down the volume, set this unit in the standby mode and make sure all the necessary connections are correct. 2 Press n to go to “OUTPUT” and press –/+ to select the speaker you want to compare with the subwoofer.

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. 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: 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. See “DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS” on pages 71 to 74. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 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. ADVANCED OPERATION 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. Each DSP program has a set of parameters that allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to precisely create the effect you want. These parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for example, affects the length of time between the early reflections. The “ROOM SIZE” parameter provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the “room” you are listening. In addition to room size, the shape of the room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out more quickly, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a longer period of time. The digital sound field parameters allow you to control these and many other factors that contribute to your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially “redesign” the concert halls, theaters, etc. provided to create custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your mood and music. BASIC OPERATION 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 actually add clarity to the direct sound. DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine the apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are set with values precisely calculated by YAMAHA to create a sound field unique to the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing the values of parameters; however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust those parameters. PREPARATION ■ Elements of a sound field Sound Field Program Parameters INTRODUCTION What Is a Sound Field?

Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect level relative to the direct sound. Function: Description: Control Range 1 – 99 msec This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the apparent distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, and for a large room, it would be set to a large value. PREPARATION ■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay) [P. INT.

ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field] Description: This parameter 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. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Function: Control Range 0.1 – 2.0 Time Level Level Time Early Reflections APPENDIX Level Source Sound Time Sound Source English Small value = 0.1 Large value = 2.0 71 0110DSPAZ2_69-74_EN(GB) 71 02.8.22, 0:17 PM DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ LIVENESS Function: Description: Control Range 0 – 10 This parameter 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 sound source 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.

This parameter adjusts the delay for surround signals and surround sound field. ■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay) Function: This parameter 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 rear channels are used. ■ S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size) Function: Control Range 1 – 49 msec Control Range 0.1 – 2.0 This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. ■ S.

Further learning is not possible without deleting unnecessary functions (see page 48). 78 0111DSPAZ2_75-78_EN(GB) 78 02.8.22, 0:17 PM GLOSSARY Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two left and right main channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound effects (monaural). The rear 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 Pro Logic is the improved technique to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with two left and right main channels, a center channel, and two left and right rear channels compared with one limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic technology. Also the music mode is available for 2channel sources in addition to the movie mode. ■ Dolby Digital This unit is equipped with the DTS ES decoder that can reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center channel. The DTS ES decoder on this unit is compatible with the two types of format: Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1. The DTS ES Discrete decoder enables the 6.1-channel playback by adding a rear center channel recorded independently from the 5.1 channels. The DTS ES Matrix decoder enables the 6.1-channel playback by adding a rear center created from the rear L/R channels. This decoder is the most suitable to reproduce the music or the soundtrack of the movies recorded by DTS ES. ■ Neo: 6 ■ DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1 channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz / 24 bit by using the data for extension of a DTS signal, that is recorded on the DTS 96/24 software. APPENDIX Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6 channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources and “Cinema mode” for movies. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This unit is equipped with the Dolby Digital decoder that can reproduce 5.1-channel sources adding a rear center channel. (The sound to be output from a rear center speaker is created by mixing the content of rear L/R channels.) This decoder is the most suitable to reproduce the soundtrack for the movies recorded by Dolby Digital Surround EX. You can enjoy dynamic and realistic sounds by adding another channel. ■ DTS ES (Extended Surround) ADVANCED OPERATION ■ Dolby Digital Surround EX DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a six-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 is practically distortion-free, clear 6-channel sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, two rear channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1 channels). BASIC OPERAIONT Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With three front channels (left, center and right), and two rear stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides five fullrange audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). Using two-channel stereo for the rear speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum volume) reproduced by the five full-range channels and the precise sound orientation generated using digital sound processing provide listeners with previously unheard of excitement and realism. With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for your enjoyment. ■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital Surround PREPARATION ■ Dolby Pro Logic INTRODUCTION ■ Dolby Surround English 79 0112DSPAZ2_79-81_EN(GB) 79 02.8.22, 0:17 PM GLOSSARY ■ LFE 0.1 channel ■ Component video signal 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 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel systems. With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB/CB and PR/CR signals for the chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is independent. The component signal is also called the “color difference signal” because the luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to use the component signal for output. ■ CINEMA DSP D I G I T A L 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 as well. 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 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 even without any rear speakers by using virtual rear speakers. It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP in a minimum two-speaker system that does not include a center speaker. ■ S VIDEO signal With 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. ■ 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. ■ I/O assignment (SET MENU) Although component is normally connected according to jack names shown on the rear panel, this unit includes a function that assigns jacks according to the component being connected. If the component being used differs from the component name shown for this unit’s component video input jacks or digital input/output jacks, it is possible to assign jacks according to the component being connected. This makes it possible to change the jack assignment and effectively connect more component. 80 0112DSPAZ2_79-81_EN(GB) 80 02.8.22, 0:17 PM SPECIFICATIONS VIDEO SECTION • Minimum RMS Output Power Main, Center, Rear, R.
