We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer

Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by

playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud

and clear without annoying blaring or distortion – and, most

importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

19 For US customers only:

Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is

connected to this unit, be sure the antenna system is grounded

so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to

proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,

size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for

the grounding electrode.

SPEAKER SETUP

Speakers to Be Used

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality

with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers

and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers

(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a

moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift

smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the

same manufacture to ensure even 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 high-

performance 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 or DTS. 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)

Center speaker

Main

speaker (L)

Subwoofer

Rear speaker (L)

Rear speaker (R)

1.8 m

■ 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 NON position.

■ 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

Please use magnetically shielded speakers.

Sometimes a video monitor may be adversely affected

even when magnetically shielded speakers are used.

Separate the speakers from the monitor if this happens.

CONNECTIONS

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.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect

it to the jacks with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc.

Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.

The input and output jacks for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

Yellow video signals (composite)

White analog audio signals for the left channel

Red analog audio signals for the right channel

coaxial digital signals

After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting Audio Components

■ Connecting to digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital

signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can

use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS

bitstreams. When you connect components to both the

COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the

input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input

jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

• You can designate the input for each digital jack according to

your component by using “3 I/O ASSIGN” in the SET MENU.

•

All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital

signals.

•

When making connections between the digital signal jacks, you

should connect the components to the same-named analog audio

signal jacks of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be

recorded by a recording component connected to this unit.

• All digital signal input jacks are applicable to sampling

frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

About the dust protection cap

Pull out the cap from the optical jack before

you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not

discard the cap. When you are not using the

optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in

place. This cap protects the jack from dust.

Note

• The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If

you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard,

this unit may not function properly.

■ Connecting a CD player

• The COAXIAL jack is available for a CD player which has

coaxial digital output jack.

• When you connect a CD player to both the analog and digital

jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the digital jack.

RX-V520 only

RX-V420 only

■ Connecting an MD recorder, CD

recorder or tape deck

•

When you connect your recording component to both the analog

and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given to the

digital signal.

•

Connect the analog input/output jack of your recording

component to the AUDIO jacks.

Notes

• When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its

power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may

distort the sound from other components.

•

Since digital output and analog output (REC OUT) are

independent of each other, the analog signal is output only to the

analog jack, while the digital signal is output only to the digital

jack.

Connecting an External Decoder

This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and

right MAIN, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and

SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from an

external decoder, sound processor or pre-amplifier.

Connect the output jacks on your external decoder to the

6CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right

outputs to the left and right input jacks for the main and

surround channels.

Notes

• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, this unit

automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you

cannot listen to DSP programs.

• When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, changing items

of “1 SPEAKER SET” in the SET MENU is not affected (except

“MAIN LVL”).

ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE

Using the Test Tone

The adjustment of each speaker sound output level should

be performed at your listening position with the remote

control.

1 Press AMP(TUNER) on the

component selector.

2 Press TEST.

“TEST LEFT” appears on the display.

3 Turn up the volume.

You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from each

speaker for about two seconds in following order: left

main speaker, center speaker, right main speaker, right

rear speaker and left rear speaker. The display changes

as shown below.

Notes

• If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set the unit

in the standby mode and check the speaker connections.

• If the test tone cannot be heard from the center speaker, check the

setting of “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU.

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level

balance between the main, center and rear speakers by 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 digital sound field

processor, the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital

decoder and DTS decoder.

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.

Before You Start Adjusting

1 Set the volume at the

minimum level.

2 Turn the power on.

3 Press SPEAKERS A or B

to select the main

speakers to be used.

If you use two main speaker

systems, press both A and B.

■ Notes on playing a source

encoded with a DTS signal

• 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.

• The following phenomena may occur if the input mode

is set to AUTO when playing back a source encoded with

DTS:

– If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS

signal, this unit automatically switches to the “DTS-

decoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated

during subsequent operation. (The “t” indicator

lights up on the display.) The “t” indicator may flash

immediately after playback of a source encoded with a

DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a

DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is

flashing. (The indicator will flash for less than a minute.)

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. If this status continues for a

certain length of time, the unit will automatically switch

from the “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal

input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.

Input Modes and Indications

When using the remote control, press AMP(TUNER) on

the component selector.

This unit comes with various input jacks. If your component

is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set

the priority of the input signal.

Press INPUT MODE (or 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

display.

PLAYING A SOURCE

Front panel

Remote control

Input mode

AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is

automatically selected in the following

order:

1) Dolby Digital or DTS signal

2) Digital (PCM) signal

3) 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 (ANLG): 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 is

selected.

• 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 and

reproduces 5.1 channel source.

• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD players and

DVD players in the following situation:

When the input mode has been set to AUTO and a search is

performed while playing the source encoded with a Dolby Digital

or DTS signal, the sound may delay for a moment when playback

is resumed.

• Depending on the LD player, playback may not be made when

playing an LD that is not digitally recorded with the input mode

set to AUTO. If this happens, set the input mode to ANALOG.

and DSP program are memorized and are automatically selected

when you turn on the power again.

• If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode is

set to AUTO, the DSP program automatically switches to the

appropriate decoding program.

• When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/

NORMAL or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED, no sound will be heard

from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be

heard from the center speaker. However, if “CENTER SP” in the

SET MENU is set to NON, the center channel sound is output

from the main speakers.

• When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jack of this unit is

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT

CINEMA

Virtual CINEMA DSP

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the sound field

effects of the DSP program without rear speakers. Using

YAMAHA original technology, natural surround

reproduction is possible through the generation of a virtual

speaker.

The sound field processing is changed to the Virtual

CINEMA DSP mode by setting “REAR LR SP” on the SET

MENU to NON. Virtual CINEMA DSP is performed by

using the main speakers.

Note

• This unit is not set in the Virtual CINEMA DSP mode even if

“REAR LR SP” is set to NON in the following cases:

– when the 5CH STEREO, PRO LOGIC/NORMAL, DOLBY

DIGITAL/NORMAL or DTS/NORMAL program is selected;

– when the sound effect is turned off;

– when 6CH INPUT is selected as the input source;

– when the Dolby Digital KARAOKE source is played;

– when using the test tone;

– when connecting the headphones (you will hear SILENT

CINEMA); or

–

when 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit.

SILENT CINEMA

SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy the realistic feel of

the DSP program while using headphones. This feature

delivers powerful surround reproduction just as if listening

through the speakers.

You can listen to SILENT CINEMA by connecting your

headphones to the PHONES jack while the effect speakers

are on.

•

Composite video and S 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 and an S video (or only a composite video) signal

by your VCR.

If you play back 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 DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS

Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be recorded.

Set the DVD player (or CD player) as described in the

player’s operation instructions so that the audio signals are

output from the player’s analog outputs.

6 DTS SET (DTS LFE level)

This setting is effective only when this unit decodes DTS

signals.

Use this feature to adjust the output level of the LFE (low-

frequency effect) channel when playing back a DTS signal.

The LFE signal carries the low-frequency special effect

sound which is only added to certain scenes.

Note

• Adjust the LFE level according to the capacity of your subwoofer.

7 SP DLY TIME (center delay)

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center channel

sound. This feature works when this unit decodes a Dolby

Digital or DTS signal. Ideally, the center speaker should be

the same distance from the listening position as the left and

right main speakers. However, in most home situations, the

center speaker is placed in line with the main speakers. By

delaying the sound from the center speaker, the apparent

distance from the center speaker to the listening position can

be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance

between the left and right main speakers to the listening

position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is

especially important for giving depth to the dialog.

Control range (ms): 0 to 5

Initial setting: 0 ms

DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby

Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS 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.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

A digital sound field processor (DSP) based on the latest YAMAHA technology is built into this unit. It is possible to play

back various sound fields for the source you are listening to.

Note

• Regardless of the program name and characteristics listed in the table below, select the sound field program that sounds best to you.

1 CONCERT HALL —

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

suitable for background music at parties.

Note

• Reverberations (sound effects) for realizing the sound field and unprocessed stereo from the left and right main speakers is output. The

sound is not output from the center speaker. (The sound is output when one of these programs is selected while playing a source encoded

with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. If 5CH STEREO is selected, the sound is output from all speakers regardless of the input source.)

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

club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering a

real and vibrant sound.

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

all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great deal of

presence, and your virtual seat is near the center, close to the stage.

3 ROCK CONCERT —

The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was

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

the hall.

4 ENTERTAINMENT DISCO

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

city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-

energy, “immediate” sound.

4 ENTERTAINMENT GAME

This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.

5 TV SPORTS — Although the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field

employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you can

enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs

or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is

oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium

spread on the surround side, while their spread to the rear is properly restrained.

This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old

movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth by

using only the presence sound field.

ADVENTURE

This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the

sound design of the newest 70-mm and

multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is

made to be similar to that of the newest movie

theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field

itself are restrained as much as possible.

GENERAL 70 mm GENERAL This program is for reproducing sounds from

70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is

characterized by a soft and extensive sound field.

The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It

spatially spreads all around and toward the screen,

restraining the echo effect of conversations without

losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the

harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a

wide space at the rear of the sound field.

■ MOVIE THEATER 1 and 2

Most commercially available 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 are designed to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of sound that tend

to be lost in the encoding and decoding processes.

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 70 mm programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization

that 6-channel soundtracks do.

When the input source is analog, PCM or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2-channel

These programs express an immense sound field and a large

surround effect. They also give depth to the sound from the

main speakers to recreate the realistic sound of a Dolby Stereo

theater.

70 mm GENERAL

The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home.

With the 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.

When the input source is encoded with Dolby Digital (5.1-channel) or DTS (Tri-Field CINEMA DSP)

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.

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.

■ 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).

■ 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.

INTRODUCTION

PREPARATION

■ 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 ASSIGN (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 digital 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.

APPENDIX 1 DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks RX-V520 only 2 DIGITAL INPUT jacks 3 6CH INPUT jacks q 9 2/6/1, 2:38 PM PREPARATION SPEAKER SETUP Speakers to Be Used This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacture to ensure even 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 or DTS. 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 NON position. ■ 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 Please use magnetically shielded speakers. Sometimes a video monitor may be adversely affected even when magnetically shielded speakers are used. Separate the speakers from the monitor if this happens. 10 0103V520/V420_10-20_EN 10 2/6/1, 2:38 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. Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later. The input and output jacks for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows: video signals (composite) V V White analog audio signals for the left channel L L Red analog audio signals for the right channel R R coaxial digital signals C C BASIC OPERATION Yellow PREPARATION When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect it to the jacks with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct. ADVANCED OPERATION APPENDIX English 11 0103V520/V420_10-20_EN 11 2/6/1, 2:38 PM CONNECTIONS Connecting Audio Components ■ Connecting to digital jacks This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals. y • You can designate the input for each digital jack according to your component by using “3 I/O ASSIGN” in the SET MENU. • RX-V520 only All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital signals. • RX-V420 only When making connections between the digital signal jacks, you should connect the components to the same-named analog audio signal jacks of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a recording component connected to this unit. • All digital signal input jacks are applicable to sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. About the dust protection cap Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust. Note • The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard, this unit may not function properly. ■ Connecting a CD player y • The COAXIAL jack is available for a CD player which has coaxial digital output jack. • When you connect a CD player to both the analog and digital jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the digital jack. ■ Connecting an MD recorder, CD recorder or tape deck y • RX-V520 only When you connect your recording component to both the analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given to the digital signal. • RX-V420 only Connect the analog input/output jack of your recording component to the AUDIO jacks. Notes • When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other components. • RX-V520 only Since digital output and analog output (REC OUT) are independent of each other, the analog signal is output only to the analog jack, while the digital signal is output only to the digital jack. Connecting an External Decoder This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and right MAIN, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from an external decoder, sound processor or pre-amplifier. Connect the output jacks on your external decoder to the 6CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the main and surround channels. Notes • When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot listen to DSP programs. • When you select 6CH INPUT as the input source, changing items of “1 SPEAKER SET” in the SET MENU is not affected (except “MAIN LVL”). 12 0103V520/V420_10-20_EN 12 2/6/1, 2:38 PM CONNECTIONS SUBWOOFER OUTPUT MAIN OUTPUT OUTPUT External decoder CD player INTRODUCTION COAXIAL OUTPUT L C R L R R L CENTER OUTPUT SURROUND OUTPUT DIGITAL INPUT CD TUNER AM ANT GND 75 PREPARATION COAXIAL FM ANT UNBAL.

INPUT MODE or Front panel Remote control AUTO: ADVANCED OPERATION In this mode, the input signal is automatically selected in the following order: 1) Dolby Digital or DTS signal 2) Digital (PCM) signal 3) 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 (ANLG): In this mode, only the analog input signal is selected even if a digital signal is input at the same time. BASIC OPERATION Input mode PREPARATION Press INPUT MODE (or 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 display. • 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. • The following phenomena may occur if the input mode is set to AUTO when playing back a source encoded with DTS: – If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit automatically switches to the “DTSdecoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation. (The “t” indicator lights up on the display.) The “t” indicator may flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with a DTS signal has finished. Only a source encoded with a DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is flashing. (The indicator will flash for less than a minute.) 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. If this status continues for a certain length of time, the unit will automatically switch from the “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out. INTRODUCTION This unit comes with various input jacks. If your component is connected to more than one type of input jack, you can set the priority of the input signal. ■ Notes on playing a source encoded with a DTS signal Notes APPENDIX • If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack is selected. • 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 and reproduces 5.1 channel source. • The sound output may be interrupted for some LD players and DVD players in the following situation: When the input mode has been set to AUTO and a search is performed while playing the source encoded with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the sound may delay for a moment when playback is resumed. • Depending on the LD player, playback may not be made when playing an LD that is not digitally recorded with the input mode set to AUTO. If this happens, set the input mode to ANALOG.

Note • Adjust the LFE level according to the capacity of your subwoofer. 7 SP DLY TIME (center delay) Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center channel sound. This feature works when this unit decodes a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. Ideally, the center speaker should be the same distance from the listening position as the left and right main speakers. However, in most home situations, the center speaker is placed in line with the main speakers. By delaying the sound from the center speaker, the apparent distance from the center speaker to the listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance between the left and right main speakers to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is especially important for giving depth to the dialog. Choices: ON, OFF Initial setting: OFF Select ON to protect the following features: • All SET MENU items • Center, rear speakers and subwoofer levels • Delay time adjusted by using TIME/LEVEL Notes • When “9 MEM. GUARD” is set to ON, you cannot use the test tone. • When “9 MEM. GUARD” is set to ON, you cannot select any other SET MENU items. Control range (ms): 0 to 5 Initial setting: 0 ms ms Center speaker image C L C R RR RL y • Increasing the delay by 1 ms simulates moving the speaker about 30 cm (one foot) farther away from the actual position of the center speaker. 36 0107V520/V420_32-39_EN 36 2/6/1, 2:40 PM DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS Delay Time Notes • Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some sources. • The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay time. 5. 6. 7. 9.

It is possible to play back various sound fields for the source you are listening to. Note • Regardless of the program name and characteristics listed in the table below, select the sound field program that sounds best to you. Hi-Fi DSP Programs ■ For audio sources: Nos. 1 to 4 No. Program (group) Sub-program Features — 2 JAZZ CLUB — This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering a real and vibrant sound. 3 ROCK CONCERT — The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was recorded at LA’s “hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left of the hall. 4 ENTERTAINMENT DISCO This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a highenergy, “immediate” sound. 5CH STEREO Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field suitable for background music at parties. Note CINEMA DSP Programs ■ For audio-video sources: Nos. 4 to 6 No. Program (group) Sub-program GAME Features 4 ENTERTAINMENT 5 TV SPORTS — Although the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the surround side, while their spread to the rear is properly restrained. 6 MONO MOVIE — This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth by using only the presence sound field. ADVANCED OPERATION • Reverberations (sound effects) for realizing the sound field and unprocessed stereo from the left and right main speakers is output. The sound is not output from the center speaker. (The sound is output when one of these programs is selected while playing a source encoded with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. If 5CH STEREO is selected, the sound is output from all speakers regardless of the input source.) BASIC OPERATION CONCERT HALL PREPARATION 1 A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great deal of presence, and your virtual seat is near the center, close to the stage. This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.

It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions). This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques. This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible.

The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field. The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects from sources. The highly efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation, and makes sound positioning smoother and more precise. In this program, the digital sound field processor is not turned on. This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film theaters. Dolby Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and digital sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound orientation. The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from the back to the left and right, and toward the screen. Notes • The “ x ” indicator does not light up when selecting the sub-program “NORMAL” of the q/DTS SURROUND program. • If “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to NON, no sound is output from the center speaker. • The effect sound is output from the main speakers when a monaural source is played with CINEMA DSP program groups 4 (GAME) and 5 to 8. 48 0109V520/V420_47-49_EN 48 2/6/1, 2:40 PM SOUND FIELD PROGRAM ■ MOVIE THEATER 1 and 2 The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without using matrix processing.

The characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts may cause this problem when the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. Check the antenna connections. Try using a high-quality directional FM antenna. 26 Use the manual tuning method. 27 There is multipath interference. Adjust the antenna position to eliminate multipath interference. 26 The station is too weak. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. 27 26 The unit has been disconnected for a long period. Re-store the stations. 28 The signal is weak or the antenna connections are loose. Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and orient it for best reception. 26 Use the manual tuning method. 27 Noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat, but it is difficult to eliminate all noise. 26 A TV set is being used nearby. Move this unit away from the TV. — There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening). ■ Remote control Problem The unit or other component cannot be controlled.

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. 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. ■ 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. ■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital Surround ■ CINEMA DSP ■ 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. 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). 56 0110V520/V420_50-58_EN 56 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. 2/6/1, 2:40 PM GLOSSARY ■ S VIDEO signal RX-V520 only INTRODUCTION 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) PREPARATION 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 RX-V520 only BASIC OPERATION 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. ADVANCED OPERATION ■ I/O ASSIGN (SET MENU) APPENDIX 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 digital 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.
