The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend.
• 7.1-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback of the high definition digital audio sources (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) with sound field programs.
• We recommend that you add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program.

Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
The center speaker is for the center channel 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.
Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
For 5.1-channel speaker layout, place these speakers
farther back compared with the placement in the 7.1-
channel speaker layout.
Surround back left and right speakers (SBL and
SBR)/Surround back speaker (SB)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround
speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back
For 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
right channel signals are mixed down and output at the
single surround back speaker by configuring the “SUR.B L/R SP” setting (page 76).
For 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
right channel signals are output at the surround left and
right speakers by configuring the “SUR.B L/R SP” setting
The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as
the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System,
is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from
any or all channels, but also for reproducing the high
fidelity sound of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel
included in bitstreams and multi-channel PCM sources.
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 front speakers. Turn it
slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall
■ Presence left and right speakers (PL and
The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front
speakers with extra ambient effects produced by the sound
field programs (page 39). We recommend that you use the
presence speakers especially for the CINEMA DSP sound
field programs. To use the presence speakers, connect the
speakers to SP1 speaker terminals and then set
“PRESENCE SP” to “YES” (page 76).
For other speaker combinations
You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field
programs by using a speaker combination other than
the 7.1/6.1/5.1-channel speaker combinations.
Use the automatic setup feature (page 30) or set the
“SPEAKER MENU” parameters (page 75) to output
the surround sounds at the connected speakers.

CLASSICAL Descriptions of the characteristics of the sound field programs
Following indexes indicates the characteristics and trends of each sound field program.
Size of sound field space (Size)
Indicates the size of the sound field to be generated. If the
value for this item is small, the sound is that of a small
space, while if the value is large, the sound is that of a vast
Vertical/horizontal balance (V/H balance)
Indicates the balance of the vertical (height) and horizontal
directions for the sound field to be generated. If this item is
more in the horizontal direction, the sound is that of a
space with strong reflections from the walls, while if it is
more in the vertical direction, the sound is that of a space
with strong reflections from the ceiling.
Front/rear balance (F/R balance)
A CINEMA DSP sound field processing expressing
whether the effect is stronger towards the front or rear.
When the effect is stronger towards the front, the listener
senses a feeling of openness and depth towards the screen,
while when the effect is stronger towards the rear, the
listener gets a sense of envelopment and movement. Suits
basically all types of contents for programs with a good
front/rear balance, and is effective when selected
appropriately for programs in which the balance is more
towards either the front or rear.
Sound field atmosphere (Atmosphere)
The sound field to be generated is evaluated according to
whether it is nearer to one or the other of the following;
Simple: Sounds that fade straight-forwardly, with a light,
gentle impression, depending on the program. This suits
almost all contents relatively well, but provides little
brilliance or powerfulness.
Complex: Sounds transform in complex ways as they fade
out, with a rich, brilliant impression, depending on the
This is extremely effective for the right contents, but is
suited for a smaller range of contents.
The sound field to be generated is evaluated according to
whether it is nearer to one or the other of the following;
Calm: An overall composed, moderate effect, stressing the
overall quality of the atmosphere without aiming at any
extreme effects. This suits almost all contents relatively
well, but provides little showiness or powerfulness.
Powerful: Designed with specific contents in mind
(expressing vast spaces, feverish excitement, etc.). This is
extremely effective for the right contents, but is suited for a
smaller range of contents.
This sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2500
seats in Munich, using stylish wood for the interior finishing as
normal standards for European concert halls. Fine, beautiful
reverberations spread richly, creating a calming atmosphere. The
listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.
This is an approximately 1700-seated, middle-sized concert hall
with a shoebox shape that is traditional in Vienna. Pillars and
ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections from all
around the audience, producing a very full, rich sound.
The characteristics of the sound field programs may differ depending on the settings of the listening room, etc.

stage. Reflections are rich and pleasing while the sound travels
Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church
has a pointed tower at 120 meters in height. Its long and narrow
shape and the high ceiling enable the elongated reverberation time
and limited initial reflection time. Thus, the rich reverberation

This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling
like an audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations
that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.
The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with
the low ceiling makes the powerful reflections converge toward the
stage located in the corner.
The warehouse resembles some lofts in Soho. Sound reflects off
the concrete walls clearly with a lot of energy.
This program simulates a live house with a low ceiling and homey
atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field features powerful sound
as if the listener is in a row in front of a small stage.
This is the sound field of a rock music live house in Los Angeles,
with approximately 460 seats. The listener’s virtual seat is at the

■ For visual sources of music
This program allows the listeners to enjoy stereo sport broadcasts
and studio variety programs with enriched live feeling. In sports
broadcasts, the voices of the commentator and sportscaster are
positioned clearly on the center while the atmosphere of the
stadium expands in an optimum space to offer the listeners with a
feeling of presence in the stadium.
This sound field is suitable for action games such as car racing and
FPS games. It uses the reflection data that limits the effects range
per channel in order to offer a powerful playing environment with
a being-there feeling by enhancing various effects tones while
maintaining a clear sense of directions.
This sound field is suitable for role-playing and adventure games.
It combines the sound field effects for movies and the sound field
design used with “Action Game” to represent the depth and spatial
feeling of the field during play, while offering movie-like surround
effects in the movie scenes in the game.
This sound field offers an image of a concert hall for live
performance of pop, rock and jazz music. The listener can indulge
oneself in a hot live space thanks to the presence sound field that
emphasizes the vividness of vocals and solo play and the beat of
rhythm instruments, and to the surround sound field that
reproduces the space of a big live hall.
This program controls the amount of reverberations at an optimum
level and emphasizes the depth and clarity of human voices.
“Recital/Opera” offers the reverberations of an orchestra box in
front of the listener at the same time as providing the acoustic
positioning and feeling of presence on the stage. The surround
sound field is relatively moderate, but the data for concert hall
effects are used to represent the inherent beauty of music. The
listener will not be fatigued even after long hours of opera
entertainment. ENTERTAIN 3
You can select the desired decoder (page 66) used with following sound field program (except “Mono Movie”).
This program create a sound field emphasizing the surrounding
feeling without disturbing the original acoustic positioning of
multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. It has been
designed with the concept of “an ideal movie theater”, in which
the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the
left, right and rear.
This program represents the spectacular feeling of large-scale
movie productions. It reproduces a broad theater sound field
matching the cinemascope and wider-screen movies with an
excellent dynamic range from very small to extremely large sound.
This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound
design of the latest science fiction and special effects-featuring
movies. You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created
virtual spaces reproduced with clear separation between dialog,
sound effects and background music.
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design
of action and adventure movies. The sound field restrains
reverberations but puts emphasis on reproducing a powerful space
expanded widely to the left and right. The reproduced depth is also
restrained relatively to ensure the separation between audio
channels and the clarity of the sound.
This sound field features stable reverberations that match a wide
range of movie genres from serious dramas to musicals and
comedies. The reverberations are modest but offer an optimum
spatial feeling, reproducing effects tones and background music
softly but cubically around clear words and center positioning in a
way that does not fatigue the listener even after long hours of
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources

BASIC OPERATION English
You can connect a Yamaha Bluetooth receiver (such as YBA-10, sold separately) to the DOCK terminal of this unit and
enjoy the music contents stored in your Bluetooth component (such as a portable music player) without wiring between
this unit and the Bluetooth component. You need to perform “pairing” the connected Bluetooth wireless audio receiver
and your Bluetooth component in advance.
Pairing must be performed when using a Bluetooth
component with the Bluetooth receiver connected to this
unit for the first time or if the pairing data has been
deleted. “Pairing” refers to the operation of registering a
Bluetooth component for Bluetooth communications.
y • You need the pairing operation only for the first time when you use the Bluetooth component with the Bluetooth receiver. • Pairing requires operations on this unit and on the other component with which Bluetooth communications are to be established. If necessary, refer to the other component’s operating instructions.
There are two pairing methods: pairing by using “START PAIRING” in “SET MENU” and quick pairing.

field programs (DSP LEVEL)
Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect
sounds) to the original source sound to create sound field
in the listening room. Use the “DSP LEVEL” parameter to
adjust the level of the effect sounds.
Adjust “DSP LEVEL” as follows:
Increase the value of “DSP LEVEL” when
• the effect sound of the selected sound field
program is too weak.
• you cannot recognize any difference between the
sound field programs.
Decrease the value of “DSP LEVEL” when
• the sound is vague.

Advanced sound configurations
LIVENESS S.LIVENESS SB LIVENESS Liveness. Surround and surround back liveness. 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”. This parameter lets
you adjust the early reflection decay rate and thus the “liveness” of the room.
Control range: 0 to 10
REV.TIME Reverberation time. Adjusts the amount of time taken for the dense, subsequent reverberation
sound to decay by 60 dB at 1 kHz. This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment

ADVANCED OPERATION English
This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The multi-zone configuration feature enables you to set this
unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main zone, second zone (Zone 2) and third zone (Zone 3). You can control
this unit from the second or third zone using the supplied remote control.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-zone functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second zone and/or third zone.
• An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control via the
infrared signal receiver in the second zone and/or third zone to a CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone.
• An amplifier and speakers in the second zone and/or third zone.
• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-zone configuration, we recommend that you consult with
your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the Zone 2 and Zone 3 connections that best meet your requirements.
• Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE jacks of this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to
use an infrared signal emitter. Up to 6 Yamaha components can be connected as shown below.
■ Using external amplifiers
To use an external amplifier in the second zone and/or third zone, connect the external amplifier to ZONE OUT jacks and
set “AMP” to “EXT” (page 85). • To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT use the Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS. • Adjust the the second zone and/or third zone volume by using the amplifier in each zone when “VOLUME” are set to “FIX” (page 85).
Using multi-zone configuration
Only analog signals are sent to the second and third zones. Any source you want to listen to in the second zone and
third zone must be connected to the analog AUDIO IN jacks of this unit.

Lip sync, an abbreviation for lip synchronization, is a technical
term that involves both a problem and a capability of maintaining
audio and video signals synchronized during post-production and
transmission. Whereas the audio and video latency requires
complex end-user adjustments, HDMI version 1.3 incorporates an
automatic audio and video syncing capability that allows devices
to perform this synchronization automatically and accurately
without user interaction.
■ Bi-amplification connection
A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker.
One amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker
while the other is connected to the combined mid and tweeter
section. With this arrangement each amplifier operates over a
restricted frequency range. This restricted range presents each
amplifier with a much simpler job and each amplifier is less likely
to influence the sound in some way. The internal crossover of the
speaker consists of a LPF (low pass filter) and a HPF (high pass
filter). As its name implies, the LPF passes frequencies below a
cutoff and rejects frequencies above the cutoff frequency.
Likewise, the HPF passes frequencies above its cutoff.
■ Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal is
separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the P B and PR 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 output component signals.
■ Composite video signal
With the composite video signal system, the video signal is
composed of three basic elements of a video picture: color,
brightness and synchronization data. A composite video jack on a
video component transmits these three elements combined.
Deep Color refers to the use of various color depths in displays,
up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI
specification. This extra bit depth allows HDTVs and other
displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors and
eliminate on-screen color banding for smooth tonal transitions
and subtle gradations between colors. The increased contrast ratio
can represent many times more shades of gray between black and
white. Also Deep Color increases the number of available colors
within the boundaries defined by the RGB or YCbCr color space.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you
completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front
channels (front L/R and center), and 2 surround stereo channels,
Dolby Digital provides 5 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). By using 2-channel stereo for the
surround 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 5 full-range channels and the precise
sound orientation generated using digital sound processing
provide listeners with unprecedented 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 EX Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output channels from
5.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that
derives 3 surround channels from the 2 in the original recording.
For the best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie
sound tracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this
additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and
realistic moving sound especially with scenes with “fly-over” and
“fly-around” effects.
■ Dolby Digital Plus

existing multichannel audio systems that incorporate Dolby
■ Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast
numbers of existing Dolby Surround sources. This new
technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front left
and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right
channels instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro
Logic technology. There are three modes available: “Music
mode” for music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources and
“Game mode” for game sources.
■ Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete multi-
channel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel sources. There
are three modes available: “Music mode” for music sources,
“Movie mode” for movie sources (for 2-channel sources only)
and “Game mode” for game sources.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION English
Dolby Surround uses a 4-channel analog recording system to
reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front left and
right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural),
and a surround channel for special sound effects (monaural). The
surround 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
■ Dolby TrueHD Dolby TrueHD is an advanced lossless audio technology

audio systems and retains the metadata capability of Dolby
Digital, allowing dialog normalization and dynamic range
■ DSD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology stores audio signals on
digital storage media, such as Super Audio CDs. Using DSD,
signals are stored as single bit values at a high-frequency
sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz, while noise shaping and
oversampling are used to reduce distortion, a common occurrence
with very high quantization of audio signals. Due to the high
sampling rate, better audio quality can be achieved than that
offered by the PCM format used for normal audio CDs.
DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality for
multi-channel sound on DVD video, and is fully backward-
compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers to a 96 kHz
sampling rate compared to the typical 48 kHz sampling rate. “24”
refers to 24-bit word length.
DTS 96/24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-motion
video for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on
■ DTS Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a 6.1-channel digital sound track, and
is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie theaters around the

■ HDMI HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first
industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
interface. Providing an interface between any source (such as a
set-top box or AV receiver) and an audio/video monitor (such as a
digital television), HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-
definition video as well as multi-channel digital audio using a
single cable. HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to
accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video
interface that meets the security requirements of content
providers and system operators. For further information on
HDMI, visit the HDMI website at

This channel reproduces low-frequency signals. The frequency
range of this channel is from 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 5/6 channels
in Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.
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. There are two modes available: “Music

■ Neural-THX Surround
“Neural-THX” Surround is taking surround sound to the next
level. This revolutionary new technology delivers the rich
envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound in a
format that is fully compatible with stereo. Neural-THX Surround
reduces the bandwidth needed for broadcasters to deliver true,
multi-channel surround presentations, and enables 7.1-channel
support for gaming and movies. By unmasking the audio details,
typically lost by other playback systems, audiences will
experience the deep ambience and subtle details of movies, music
and games. And with this technology being used by sound
designers during content creation, as well as embedded into
playback devices, Neural-THX Surround promises a listening
experience that is true to the original mix. Neural-THX Surround
has been chosen as the official surround sound broadcast format
for XM Satellite Radio’s “XM HD Surround”, as well as other
leading FM/HD radio stations worldwide. For additional
information, please visit http://www.neuralsurround.com/.
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
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
■ SRS CS II (SRS Circle Surround II™)
SRS CS II (SRS Circle Surround II) is a high-performance
6.1 channel matrix surround sound decoding system. It is the
next-generation of the original SRS Circle Surround technology,
incorporating powerful industry-first features including the dialog
clarity enhancement technology and added cinema-like bass to
the front channels and subwoofer.
With the 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.
A color space standard supported by HDMI version 1.3. It is a
more extensive color space than sRGB, and allows the expression
of colors that could not be expressed before. While remaining
compatible with the color gamut of sRGB standards, “x.v.Color”
expands the color space and can thus produce more vivid, natural
images. It is particularly effective for still pictures and computer
graphics.SOUND FIELD PROGRAM INFORMATION 119 En
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION English
■ Elements of 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 as well as the size
and shape of the room in which we are sitting.
There are two distinct types of sound reflections that
combine to make up the sound field in addition to the
direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player’s
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms
to 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one
surface only (for example, from a wall or the ceiling).
Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface (for example, from the walls, and/or the ceiling) 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
reverberations 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 a room with virtually any
size at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is
exactly what Yamaha has done with the digital sound field
■ CINEMA DSP 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 designed for
acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room
size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in
the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured
data, Yamaha CINEMA DSP provides the audiovisual
experience of a movie theater in the listening room of your
own home by using the Yamaha original sound field
technology combined with various digital audio systems.
■ CINEMA DSP 3D The actually measured sound field data contain the
information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA DSP 3D feature achieves the reproduction of the accurate
height of the sound images so that it creates the accurate
and intensive stereoscopic sound fields in a listening
■ 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 surround speakers by using virtual
surround speakers. It is even possible to enjoy Virtual
CINEMA DSP using a minimal two-speaker system that
does not include a center speaker.
■ Compressed Music Enhancer
The Compressed Music Enhancer feature of this unit
enhances your listening experience by regenerating the
missing harmonics in a compression artifact. As a result,
flattened complexity due to the loss of high-frequency
fidelity as well as lack of bass due to the loss of low-
frequency bass is compensated, providing improved
performance of the overall sound system.

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. Since hearing damage from loud sounds is
often undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.SET MENU TREE
