102.E800_01-06(Eng) 5/18/0, 1:36 PM6E-7 EnglishBASIC OPERATIONADVANCED OPERATION APPENDIXINTRODUCTIONPREPARATIONPREPARATION SPEAKER SETUP Speaker Placement Refer to the following diagram when you place thespeakers. ■ Main speakers Place the right and left main speakers an equal distancefrom the ideal listening position. The distance of eachspeaker from each side of the TV monitor should be thesame. ■ Rear speakers Place these speakers behind your listening position, facingslightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above thefloor. ■ Center speaker Align the front face of the center speaker with the front faceof your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to themonitor as possible, such as directly over or under themonitor and centrally between the main speakers. Note

If the center speaker is not used, the center channel sound will beheard from the right and left main speakers. In that case,“CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position.(Refer to page 26 for details.) ■ Subwoofer The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because lowbass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better toplace the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightlytoward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections. CAUTION Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. Ifthis problem occurs, move the speakers away from themonitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speakeror subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magneticallyshielded speakers. Speakers to Be Used This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field qualitywith a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakersand a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of amoving human voice and other types of sound may not shiftsmoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from thesame manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.The main speakers are used for the main source sound plusthe effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers fromyour present stereo system. The rear speakers are used forthe effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is forthe center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason itis not practical to use a center speaker, you can do withoutit. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.The main speakers should be high-performance models andhave enough power-handling capacity to accept themaximum output of your audio system. The other speakersdo not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precisesound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-performance models that can reproduce sounds over the fullrange 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 theaddition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effectivenot only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or allchannels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequencyeffect) channel with high fidelity when playing back asource encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHAActive Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal fornatural and lively bass reproduction.Subwoofer Main speaker (L)Center speakerRear speaker (L)1.8 mRear speaker (R)Main speaker (R) 103.E800_07-15(Eng) 5/18/0, 1:36 PM7E-8 6CH INPUTEXTERNALDECODERMAIN IN

Set the input mode to AUTO to play a DVD/LD source encodedwith Dolby Digital.• If the input mode is set to AUTO for the source, this unitautomatically determines which type of signal the sourcecontains. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, thedecoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting andreproduces 5.1 channel sound.• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVDplayers in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO.A search is performed while playing the disc encoded with DolbyDigital or DTS, and then disc playing is restored. The soundoutput is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal wasselected again.• The input mode cannot be changed for the CD, TUNER, TAPE/MD and VCR sources because only analog signals are used forthese.• The current input mode appears on the display when the DVD/LD, D-TV or CBL/SAT source is selected or the input mode ischanged.INPUT MODEFront panelCD TUNER TAPE

SAT Remote control DVD/LD D–TV VCR TUNER CBL/SAT Input Mode (for the DVD/LD, D-TV and CBL/SAT sources) This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources that send both digital and analog signals to this unit. The AUTO, DTS and ANALOG input modes are provided. When you turn on the power of this unit, the input mode for the DVD/LD source is always set to AUTO and for D-TV or CBL/SAT source is set according to “TV INPUT” and “CBL INPUT” on the SET MENU. (Refer to page 28 for details.) ■ AUTO In this mode, the input signal is selected in the following order of priority:

1. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS

If digital signals are input from both the OPTICAL andCOAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIALterminal is selected. ■ DTS In this mode, only a digital signal encoded with DTS is selected, even if other signals are being input at the same time. ■ ANALOG In this mode, only an analog signal is selected, even if a digital signal is being input at the same time. Select this mode when you want to use an analog signal instead of a digital signal.

■ Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS

If “DATA ERROR” appears on the display while playing an LD source encoded with DTS, stop playback and turn the player off and then on again.

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 an LD source encoded with DTS and set the input mode to ANALOG, there will be the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to the digital input terminal and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.

If you play a source encoded with DTS and set the input mode to AUTO, there will be a short noise at first while the unit recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction, and can be avoided by setting the input mode to DTS beforehand. In addition, if you continue to play a source encoded with DTS with the input mode setting left to AUTO, 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 will flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with DTS has finished. Only a source encoded with DTS can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

■ Notes on playing an LD source

Some audio/video component, such as LD player, output different audio signals through their analog and digital terminals. Change the input mode as necessary.

If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog terminals and set the input mode to AUTO or ANALOG.

While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital, if you switch from the pause or chapter forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital sound is played. ■ Notes on the digital signal The digital input terminal of this unit can also handle 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals. (To utilize this, use a source that supports 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals and set the player for digital output. Refer to the instructions for the player.) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signal is input to this unit.

1. The following indicator will appear on the display.

2. DSP programs cannot be selected. Sound will be output

as normal 2-channel stereo sound using only the right and left main speakers.

3. Delay time and speaker output level cannot be adjusted.

Selecting a DSP Program You can enhance your listening experience by selecting aDSP program. Refer to pages 22 to 24 for details about eachprogram. 1 Make sure that the effect speakers (center and rear) and subwoofer are turned on. 2 Press PROGRAM l or h repeatedly (or one of the PROGRAM selector buttons) to select thedesired program.The name of the selected program appears on thedisplay.

STANDBY/ON INPUT MODE INPUT SELECTOR VOLUME

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater- like experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to). When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) is turned on according to which type of signals the source being played contains. The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital re-creations of actual acoustic environments.

The input source given in the following table for programs 4 through 8 indicates that input source which each program is best suited for.

Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below. ■ For movie or audio/video sources (Program No. 1 to No. 5: CINEMA DSP programs) [1] PRO LOGIC/Normal ( o )

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. 2 MOVIE THEATER 1 3 MOVIE THEATER 2 Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The data for the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence, so the three- dimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data for the sound field of a concert hall on the surround sound field, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with strong presence. This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track film, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The front presence of the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

Choices: LRG (Large)/SML (Small)/NONE Preset position: LRG (Large) LRG (Large) Select this position if your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers. In this position, full- range signals on the center channel are directed to the center speaker. SML (Small) Select this position if you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position). NONE Select this position if you do not have a center speaker (4-speaker system). In this position, full-range signals on the center channel are directed to the right and left main speakers.

Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE LARGE Select this position if your rear speakers have high ability for bass reproduction, or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel to the rear speaker. In this position, full-range signals on the rear channels are directed to the rear speakers. SMALL Select this position if your rear speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN position).

Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE LARGE Select this position if your main speakers have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, full-range signals on the main channels are directed to the right and left main speakers. SMALL Select this position if your main speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are distributed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “BASS OUT” is set to the SW position.

Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH Preset position: BOTH SW/BOTH Select either the SW or BOTH position if your system includes a subwoofer. In either position, signals on the LFE channel and low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center and rear channels are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “CENTER SP” is set to the SML or NONE position and “REAR SP” is set to the SMALL position. In the SW position, low bass signals on the main channels are directed to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if “MAIN SP” is set to the SMALL position. In the BOTH position, low bass signals on the main channels are directed to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. Note

When playing a 2-channel source (tape, MD, CD, videocassette etc.), select the BOTH position to direct low bass signals(below 90 Hz) to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. MAIN Select this position if your system does not include a subwoofer. In this position, besides full-range signals on the main channels, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals (below 90 Hz) that are distributed from other channels are directed to the right and left main speakers. 107.E800_25-31(Eng) 5/18/0, 1:37 PM26E-27 EnglishBASIC OPERATION ADVANCED OPERA

Choices: NORM (Normal)/–10 dB Preset position: NORM (Normal) NORM (Normal) Normally select this position. –10 dB Select this position if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated. Notes

The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and “BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the 6CH INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.

Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do not have to change any settings unless your speaker system is modified.

6. D.D. LFE (Adjusting the output

level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital) Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps) Preset value: 0 dB Note

This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contains LFE signals. This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

7. D-RANGE (Adjusting the dynamic

range) Choices: MAX/STD (Standard)/MIN Preset position: MAX Note

This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded. “Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending on the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However, at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noise in your environment. Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the sound data. MAX In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment. STD (Standard) In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source that is suitable for low-level listening. MIN In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source at a low level. Note

It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position. 107.E800_25-31(Eng) 5/18/0, 1:37 PM27E-28 SET MENU

8. DTS LFE (Adjusting the output

level of the LFE channel for DTS) Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (in 1 dB steps) Preset value: 0 dB Note

This adjustment is effective only when DTS is being decoded and the selected source encoded with DTS contains LFE signals. This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

9. CNTR DELAY (Adjusting the delay

of the sound from the center sound) Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms steps) Preset value: 0 ms This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main channels) and dialog, etc. (on the center channel). The larger the value, the later the dialog, etc. is generated. This makes sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the right and left main speaker to your listening position. 10.MEM. GUARD (Locking the settings) Choices: ON/OFF Preset position: OFF If you wish to prevent accidental alterations to the settings of the SET MENU and other adjustments on this unit, select the ON position.

TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM No sound from the main speakers. No sound from the center speaker. No sound from the rear speakers. No sound from the subwoofer. A “humming” sound can be heard. The volume level cannot be increased, or the sound is distorted. The sound effect cannot be recorded. The DVD/LD, D-TV or CBL/SAT source cannot be recorded by tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit. Adjusting this unit by using SET MENU, TIME/ LEVEL or TEST cannot be performed. CAUSE Incorrect output connection to the external amplifier. The external amplifier connected to this unit is turned off. The sound output level of the center speaker is set to minimum. “CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position. Incorrect DSP program is selected. The source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS does not have a center channel signal. The output level of the rear speakers is set to minimum. A monaural source is being played with the PRO LOGIC/Normal or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED program. “BASS OUT” on the SET MENU is set to the SW or MAIN position when playing a 2-channel source. The source does not contain low bass signals (below 90 Hz). Incorrect cable connections. The component connected to the TAPE/MD OUT (REC) terminals of this unit is in the standby mode. It is not possible to record the sound effect by a tape deck or MD recorder connected to the TAPE/MD OUT (REC) terminals of this unit. The DVD/LD player, TV/digital TV or cable TV/satellite tuner is connected to the unit only through the digital terminals. “MEM. GUARD” on the SET MENU is set to the ON position. REMEDY Connect the external amplifier correctly. Turn on the power to the external amplifier. Raise the level of the center speaker. Select the LRG or SML position. Select the appropriate program. Raise the output level of the rear speakers. Select another DSP program suitable for the monaural source. Select the BOTH position. Firmly connect the audio plugs.

108.E800_32-37(Eng) 5/18/0, 1:38 PM33E-34 ■ When playing back a source encoded with DTS SYMPTOM A loud hissing noise is heard when playing back a source encoded with DTS. A percussive noise is heard when playing back a source encoded with DTS. No sound is heard when playing back a source encoded with DTS, even if the input mode is set to AUTO on this unit. No sound is heard when playing back an MD or DAT on which has been recorded a source encoded with DTS. No sound is heard when playing back a source (CD, etc.) even if the currently selected input mode is AUTO. CAUSE The player which plays back the source is not connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit. The input mode is set to ANALOG on this unit. If the input mode is set to AUTO, depending on some sources, there may be a noise heard while this unit is identifying the format of the input signal. The built-in DTS decoder does not function because the player has a digital volume control and it is set at a position other than “maximum,” “neutral” or “ineffective.” A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded on an MD or DAT. In the AUTO mode, the DTS-decoding mode cannot be automatically changed to the normal (PCM) digital signal input mode. REMEDY The player must be connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit besides the analog audio signal terminal connections. Set a proper input mode to turn on the built-in DTS decoder. Set the input mode of the currently selected input source to DTS. Set the player’s digital volume control at the maximum, neutral or ineffective position. Set the input mode to AUTO again. Refer to page

It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back the source must be connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter is being used without using a DTS decoder, only a loud hissing noise will be heard when you play back the source.

The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a source encoded with DTS. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from DTS-decoding mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out. ■ Remote control SYMPTOM The remote control does not work. CAUSE Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit. The batteries are weak. REMEDY Reposition the unit. Replace all batteries with new ones. Refer to page

■ Others Refer to page

REMEDY Turn on the power of the unit. Move the unit further away from such equipment. CAUSE This unit is in the standby mode. The unit is too close to the digital or high- frequency equipment. SYMPTOM The sound is degraded when listening with headphones to a tape deck or CD player connected to this unit. There is noise interference from digital or high-frequency equipment, or the unit.
