OUTLINE OF THIS SYSTEM
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this system takes advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in
the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in
this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of
listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from sources
encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
Digital Sound Field Processing
What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s
advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get
extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but
chances are you’ll still notice something missing: the
acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive
research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections
that create the ambience of a large hall has made it
possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same
sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the
sound of a live concert.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to
capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an
actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to
accurately recreate one of several actual live
performance environments, all in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in
many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic
realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater
sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a
four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic
Surround system divides the input signal into four levels:
the left and right main channels, the center channel
(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels
(used for sound effects, background noise, and other
ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners
seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the
dialog originating from the action on the screen while
experiencing good stereo imaging.
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-
recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby
Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder decodes the signal and distributes the
surround-sound effects.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a
digital signal processing system. This system improves
the stability of sound at each channel and minimizes
crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of
sounds around the room is more accurate compared
with conventional analog signal processing systems.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input
balance control. This always assures you the best
performance without manual adjustment.

Licensing Corporation. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a
large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie
theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a
sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in
your listening room, because the room size, materials of
inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your
listening room is much different from those of a movie
theater.
Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present
you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a
large movie theater in your listening room by
compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your
listening room with its original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround sound field.
The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP
is used on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED”.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these
programs are created by the combination of Dolby Pro
Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.

Speaker configuration
This system employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2 front
speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for
the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker
is for the center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer is
for reinforcing low frequencies of the main source sound
and the center sounds.

Placing speakers
Front speakers: On both sides of the TV and in
almost the same height as the TV.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position,
facing slightly inward. Nearly six
feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front
speakers.
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not
so critical because low bass tones
are not highly directional.
Before you make connections, place all units in this system in their proper positions respectively. Above all, the
positioning of speakers are important, because it controls the whole sound quality of this system.
Position the speakers on the basis of your listening position by following instructions on this section.

Connect the provided speakers (NX-AV1) to the
SPEAKERS terminals on the rear of SW-AV1.
All of the speakers (NX-AV1) are identical.
The speakers connected to the FRONT R and L
terminals should be used as the right and left front
speakers.
The speaker connected to the CENTER terminal
should be used as the center speaker.
The speakers connected to the REAR R and L
terminals should be used as the right and left rear
speakers.
Notes
● Do not connect speakers other than the provided
ones to SW-AV1.
● Use the provided speaker cords for the connections.
Normally, use the short cords to connect with the
front and center speakers, and use the long ones to
connect with the rear speakers.
● The provided tag sheet for speaker cords is useful
for preventing wrong connections between speakers
and SW-AV1.
How to Connect:
Connect the provided speaker cords between the
SPEAKERS terminals on the power
amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AV1) and the speaker
terminals on each speaker (NX-AV1) properly as
shown below. If the connections are faulty, no sound
will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the
polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and
– markings are observed. If these wires are reversed,
the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
As a sure method, connect the wire with a silver line to
the + terminals on both the power amplifier/subwoofer
(SW-AV1) and speaker, and connect the wire with no
line to the – terminals on both of them.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other
as this could damage SW-AV1 and/or speakers.
On SW-AV1:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
➀
Press up the tab.
➁
Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx.
5mm (1/4”)
insulation from the
speaker wires.]

■ Antenna connection
(1) Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding
terminal and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction
where the strongest signal can be received.
(2) Supplied AM (MW/LW) loop antenna
Connect the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna wires to the
corresponding terminals. Position the AM (MW/LW)
loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the AM
(MW/LW) loop antenna on a shelf etc., or install it on
the rack or wall with screws (not provided).
Notes
•
When static is still heard even after adjusting the
position of the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna, try
reversing the wire connections (right to left).
•
Do not place the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna on the
unit. It will result in noise generation, since the unit
is equipped with digital electronics. Place the AM
(MW/LW) loop antenna away from the unit.
(3) External FM antenna
Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM
antenna if you need better reception. Consult your
dealer.
(4) External AM (MW/LW) antenna
Use an external AM (MW/LW) antenna if you need
better reception. Consult your dealer.
Note
When using an external AM (MW/LW) antenna, be
sure to keep the wire of the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna
connected.

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level
balance between the front, center, and rear speakers
using the built-in test tone generator. When this
adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard
at the listening position will be the same from each
speaker. This is important for the best performance of
the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.
The adjustment of each speaker output level
should be done at your listening position with the
remote control transmitter. Otherwise, the result
may not be satisfactory.

Automatic preset tuning
You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning
function. By this function, this tuner performs automatic
tuning and stores stations with strong signals
sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored
automatically in the same way as in the manual preset
tuning method on page 35.
1 Select the built-in tuner as the input source by
pressing the TUNER input selector button.
2 Press and hold the MEMORY button for about 2
seconds.
* “MEMORY” and “AUTO” will flash.
This tuner performs automatic tuning and searches FM
and AM (MW and LW for U.K. and Europe models
only) stations in that order. Received stations are
programmed to the preset station number A1, A2, A3...
A8, B1... sequentially.
When the automatic preset tuning is completed
The display shows the frequencies of the first preset
station (stored to A1).
Check the contents and the number of preset stations
by following the procedure of the section “To recall a
preset station” on the previous page.
To recall a preset station
Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a
preset station” on the previous page.
Notes
•
The automatic preset tuning search will be performed
through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If
the number of received stations is less than 40, the
search will stop after searching all frequencies.
* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may
be a case that 40 preset stations are occupied by
FM stations only.
•
With this function, only stations with sufficient signal
strength are stored automatically. If the station you
want to program is weak in signal strength, tune in
to it with the Manual tuning method (in monaural)
and program it by following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on page 35.
•
You can replace a preset station by another FM or
AM (MW or LW) station manually by simply following
the procedure of the section “To store stations” on
page 35.
•
<For U.K. and Europe models only>
This tuner is originally set so that only RDS stations
are searched instead of all FM stations by this
operation. (FM stations that employ no RDS network
service cannot be programmed.)
However, you can change the setting so that the unit
can program not only RDS stations but also other
FM stations. (Refer to page 43 for details.)

for about 2 seconds and then returns to
frequency display mode.
* If the station has PS data, after that, it turns
into the PS mode.
➄ CT (Clock Time) mode
Current time is displayed in the following form.
The CT data from the station being received
changes every minute.
This unit corrects time of the built-in clock by
synchronizing it with the CT data. (This function
can also be canceled, if so desired. Refer to
page 43 for details.)
* “CT WAIT” may flash while the unit is
receiving the data. If the data is accidentally
cut off, “CT WAIT” may flash and then turn into
“NO CT”.
* If the RDS station does not employ the CT
data service, “NO CT” lights up on the display
for about 2 seconds and then returns to
frequency display mode.
* If the station has PS data, after that, it turns
into the PS mode.
Notes
● RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the
received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the
RT (Radio Text mode) needs much data to be
received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be
displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.)
are displayed.
● There may be a case that RDS data reception is not
possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press
the AUTO/MAN’L button so that “AUTO” goes off
from the display. Though the reception mode is
changed to monaural by this operation, when you
change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may
be displayed.
● If the signal strength gets weakened by external
interference during receiving an RDS station, the
RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and turn
into the frequency display mode.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
This system incorporates a sophisticated, multi-
program digital sound field processor. The processor
allows you to electronically expand and change the
shape of the audio sound field from both audio and
video sources, creating a theater-like experience in
your listening room. You can create an excellent audio
sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program
(this will, of course, depend on what you will be
listening to), and adding desired adjustments.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic
Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction
of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
can be controlled by selecting the DSP program,
PRO LOGIC or PRO LOGIC ENHANCED.
Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field
Programs
The following list gives you a brief description of the
sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs.
Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital
recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data
for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations
using sophisticated sound field measurement
equipment.
Note
The channel level balance between the left and
right rear effect speakers may vary depending on
the sound field you are listening to. This is due to
the fact that most of these sound field recreations
are actual acoustic environments.
FEATURE
This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
The application of a sophisticated digital signal processing system reduces crosstalk and
directs or steers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, as compared to conventional
types.
This program is also used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround
speaker systems of a 35 mm movie theater. This effect creates a wide surround sound field,
and expands the sound stage with an improved presence image. This program is used for
musical based movies, as well as drama and comedy based movies.
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and
extraordinarily spacious feel of a large stadium.
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively
city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy,
“immediate” sound.
In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an
expansive large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.
This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively
sound field.
This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a
strictly mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the
speaker pair, lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used
with old mono movies, news broadcasts and dialog.
This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals.
For opera, the orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an
actual concert hall.
