SPEAKER SETUP 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 to ensure even 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. Speaker Placement Refer to the following diagram when you place thespeakers.Main speaker (R)Center speaker Main speaker (L)SubwooferRear speaker (L)Rear speaker (R)1.8 m ■ 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 sound will be heard from theright and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in theSET MENU is set to the NON position. ■ 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 Please use magnetically shielded speakers.Sometimes a video monitor may be adversely affectedeven when magnetically shielded speakers are used.Separate the speakers from the monitor if this happens.PREPARATION

English BASIC OPERATION ADVANCED OPERA TION APPENDIX INTRODUCTION PREPARATION ■ 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 SOURCEFront panel Remote controlInput mode AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is automatically selected in the following order:

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 andOPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack isselected.• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines thetype of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal,the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting andreproduces 5.1 channel source.• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD players andDVD players in the following situation:When the input mode has been set to AUTO and a search isperformed while playing the source encoded with a Dolby Digitalor DTS signal, the sound may delay for a moment when playbackis resumed.• Depending on the LD player, playback may not be made whenplaying an LD that is not digitally recorded with the input modeset to AUTO.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS

Radio Data System (RDS) is a data transmission system byFM stations in many countries. Stations using this systemtransmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to thenormal radio signal.RDS data contains various information such as PI (ProgramIdentification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (ProgramType), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (EnhancedOther Networks), etc. The RDS function is carried outamong the network stations. Description of RDS Data This unit can receive PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT, and EON datawhen receiving RDS broadcasting stations. ■ PS (Program Service name) mode: The name of the RDS station being received is displayed. ■ PTY (Program Type) mode: The program type on the RDS station being received isdisplayed. There are 15 program types to classify RDSstations. You can make this unit search for a station which isbroadcasting a program of the desired type. Refer to “PTYSEEK Function” for details. ■ RT (Radio Text) mode: Information about the program (such as the title of the song,name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being receivedis displayed by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters,including the umlaut symbol. If other characters are used forRT data, they are displayed with under-bars. ■ CT (Clock Time) mode: The current time is displayed and updated every minute. If the data are accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may appear. ■ EON (Enhanced Other Networks): Refer to “EON Function” on page 33. Changing the RDS Mode The four modes are available in this unit for displaying RDSdata. When an RDS station is being received, PS, PTY, RTand/or CT that correspond to the RDS data services offeredby the station light up on the display. Press RDS MODE/FREQ repeatedly to change the display mode among theRDS data offered by the transmitting station in the ordershown below. Illumination of the red indicator next to theRDS mode indicator shows that the corresponding RDSmode is now selected. Notes

• When an RDS station is being received, do not press RDSMODE/FREQ until one or more RDS mode indicators light up onthe display. If you press the button before the indicators light upon the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because theunit has not yet received all of the RDS data on the station.• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.• The RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if thereceived signal is not strong enough. In particular, the RT moderequires a large amount of data to be received, so it is possiblethat the RT mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes(PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.• RDS data cannot sometimes be received under poor reception conditions. If so, press TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO” indicator goes off from the display. Although the reception modeis changed to monaural by this operation, when you change thedisplay to RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference duringthe reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the display.

PTY SEEK Function If you select the desired program type, the unit automatically searches all preset RDS stations that are broadcasting a program of the required type. 1 Press PTY SEEK MODE to set the unit in the PTY SEEK mode.

Refer to the instructions for these components. 1 Set the volume at the minimum level. 2 Select the source you want to record. 3 Begin recording by the recording component connected to this unit. 4 Play the source and then turn up the volume to confirm the input source. Notes

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

• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.

• The DSP program and the setting of VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE have no effect on the material being recorded.

• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.

• 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 an S video (or only a composite video) signal by your VCR.

• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on VCR 1 OUT.)

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws. If you 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.

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 somesources.• The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delaytime.Program Preset value (ms)1. CONCERT HALL 452.

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.

Presence DSP sound field Surround DSP 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 SPECTACLE 70 mm SCI-FI 70 mm ADVENTURE 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.

■ Tuner Problem FM stereo reception is noisy. 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. There is distortion, and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. There is multipath interference. Adjust the antenna position to eliminate multipath interference. The desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. The station is too weak. Use the manual tuning method. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. The unit has been disconnected for a long period. Re-store the stations. The desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. The signal is weak or the antenna connections are loose. Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and orient it for best reception. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening). Cause Remedy Refer to page Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat, but it is difficult to eliminate all noise. Noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. A TV set is being used nearby. Move this unit away from the TV. Problem Cause Remedy Refer to page The remote control does not work nor function properly. Wrong distance or angle. The remote control will function within a maximum range of 6 m (20 feet) and no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit. Reposition the unit. The batteries are weak. Replace all batteries with new ones. The unit or other component cannot be controlled. The component to be controlled has not been selected. Press one of the component selector buttons, corresponding to the component to be controlled. The remote control cannot control system components. The manufacturer code has not been set up properly. Enter the code again. Try setting another code for the same manufacturer. Depending on the manufacturer or the model, some components cannot be controlled with this unit’s remote control even though the code has been set up properly. Use the original remote control supplied with your component.

Use the manual tuning method. 27 Use a high-quality directional FM antenna.

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.

English BASIC OPERATION ADVANCED OPERA TION APPENDIX 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 input/ output jacks, it is possible to assign jacks according to the component being connected. This makes it possible to change the jack assignment and effectively connect more component. GLOSSARY
