Connecting the speakers

Speakers

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 6-speaker system, using main left and right speakers, rear left and right speakers, a center speaker, and a rear 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 manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The rear center speaker supplements the rear (left and right) speakers and provides for more realistic front-to-back transitions.

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 the models of equivalent performance with the main 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 Dolby Digital or DTS signals. 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 speakers

Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance between each speaker and each side of the video monitor should also be the same.

Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video 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.

Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.

Rear center speaker

Place the rear center speaker in the center between the rear left and right speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. However, it is better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

Note

- If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear, center and/or rear center), change the settings of “SOUND 1 SPEAKER SET” items at the set menu to direct signals to other terminals you have connected speakers to.

CAUTION

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers still create interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

■Connections

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “−” (black) in accordance with the markers on this unit, the speakers, and the speaker cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.

Red: positive (+) Black: negative (−)

(With the exception of U.K. and Europe models)

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.
3 Unscrew the knob.
4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side of each terminal.
5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

(With the exception of U.K. and Europe models)

- You can also use banana plug connectors. First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

■IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch

WARNING

	Center, Rear Center, Rear	The impedance of each speaker must be 6 Ω or higher.
Right	Main*	If you use one/two set(s) of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8 Ω/16 Ω or higher.
	Center, Rear Center, Rear	The impedance of each speaker must be 8 Ω or higher.

* [Canada model only] When the switch is set to right, you cannot use "A+B".

MAIN SPEAKERS terminals

You can connect up to two speaker systems to these terminals. When using only one speaker system, connect it to either of the MAIN A or the MAIN B terminals.

REAR SPEAKERS terminals

A rear speaker system can be connected to these terminals.

CENTER SPEAKER terminals

A center speaker can be connected to these terminals.

REAR CENTER SPEAKER terminals

A rear center speaker can be connected to these terminals.

The diagram shows the speaker layout in the listening room.

SUBWOOFER jack

When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, connect the input jack of the subwoofer system to this jack. This unit will direct low bass signals distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections. The LFE (low-frequency effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also directed to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections.

Notes

• The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.
- If you do not use a subwoofer, allocate the signals to the main left and right speakers by changing the setting of "SOUND 1 SPEAKER SET" item "1E BASS" on the set menu to MAIN.

AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is selected automatically as follows:

1) Digital signal
2) Analog signal

DTS: In this mode, only digital input signals encoded with DTS are selected, even if the unit is receiving another signal simultaneously.

ANALOG: In this mode, only analog input signals are selected, even the unit is receiving digital signals at the same time.

Notes

• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the type of signal. If it detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting.
• When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on some LD or DVD players, there is a delay in sound output for a moment when playback resumes after a search, because the unit must select the digital signal again.
• When playing a LD source that has not been digitally recorded, the unit may not output any sound for some LD players. In this case, set the input mode to ANALOG.

■Notes on digital signals

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96 kHz sampling digital signals. Note the following when a digital signal with a sampling frequency greater than 48 kHz is input to this unit:

• You cannot use any DSP programs.
• The unit will output sound as 2-channel stereo from the main left and right speakers only. Therefore, you cannot adjust the level of the effect speakers while listening to such a source.

■Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs

• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any way, the unit may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if there is 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, the unit may reproduce the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case, connect the source to a digital input jack on this unit 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, the unit does not output any sound.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode set to AUTO;

- The unit automatically switches to the DTS-decoding mode (The “dts” indicator lights up) after detecting the DTS signal. When playback of the DTS source is completed, the “dts” indicator may flash. While this indicator is flashing, the unit can only reproduce DTS source. If you want to play a normal PCM source immediately, change the input mode back to AUTO.

- When the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed during playback of a DTS source, the “dts” indicator may flash. If this state continues for longer than 30 seconds, the unit will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “dts” indicator will turn off.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)

Understanding sound fields

Interior view of a modern auditorium with tiered seating and central stage (no visible text or symbols)

A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a particular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.

YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit.

■Recreating a sound field

Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. YAMAHA's DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources and fully encompass the listener.

Hi-Fi DSP programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments.

No.	Program	Features
1	CONCERT HALL	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.
2	JAZZ CLUB	This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz club, that seats up to 300 people. Its wide left to right seating arrangement offers 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 high-energy, “immediate” sound.
	ENTERTAINMENT/ 6ch Stereo	Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field suitable for background music at parties, etc.

CINEMA-DSP

Sound design of CINEMA-DSP

Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen.

CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide a surround sound field. It recreates comprehensive movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA's exclusive DSP processing is added to the Main left and right, and Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.

When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound field program for that signal.

In addition to the DSP, this unit is equipped with a variety of precise decoders; Dolby Pro Logic decoder for Dolby Surround sources, Dolby Pro Logic II decoder for Dolby Surround and 2-channel sources, Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel sources and Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES decoder for adding a rear center channel. You can select CINEMA-DSP programs to optimize these decoders and the DSP sound patterns depending on the input source.

CINEMA-DSP Programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.

■For audio-video sources: No. 4 to 6

No.	Program	Features
4	ENTERTAINMENT/Game	This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.
5	MUSIC VIDEO	This program lends an enthusiastic atmosphere to the sound, giving you the feeling you are at an actual jazz or rock concert.
6	TV THEATER/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 using only the presence sound field.
	TV THEATER/Variety/Sports	Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. This effect enhances the experience of watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs.

■For movie programs

No.	Program		Features
7	MOVIE THEATER 1	Spectacle	This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. 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).
		Sci-Fi	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.
8	MOVIE THEATER 2	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	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.
9	Straight Decode		The built-in decoder reproduces source sounds and sound-effects precisely. No DSP effect is applied in this program.
	Enhanced Mode		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.

Straight Decode

This unit is equipped with various precise decoders;

• Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound

• Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES decoder for an additional rear center channel

• Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic II/DTS Neo:6 decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources

Select any of the Straight Decode modes in Program 9 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced”) to use any of these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied and the DSP indicator turns off.

Note

- When playing a monaural source with a CINEMA DSP program, the source signal is directed to the center channel, and the main and rear speakers output effect sounds.

Sound field effects

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 programs provide the same quality of sound and sound localization that 6-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With this unit's MOVIE THEATER programs, you can use Dolby Digital or DTS technology to recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being in a public theater.

■Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect

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.

■Dolby Digital EX/DTS-ES + DSP sound field effect

These programs provide you with the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects by adding an extra rear center DSP sound field created from the rear center channel.

■Dolby Pro Logic + DSP sound field effect

Most movie material 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.

■Dolby Pro Logic II/DTS Neo:6

This unit comes with Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 decoders which decode 2-channel Dolby Surround data into five or six full range channels. Both decoders have two modes, MOVIE/CINEMA for movies, and MUSIC for 2-channel sources.

SOUND 2 SP DISTANCE (speaker distance)

Use this feature to adjust the delay applied to center and rear center channel sounds. This feature works when there is sound output from the center speakers with a source such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Ideally, the center speaker and the rear speakers should be the same distance from the main listening position as the left and right main speakers. However, in most home situations, the center speaker or the rear center speaker is placed in line with the main speakers or the rear speakers. By delaying the sound from the center speaker and the rear speakers, you can adjust the apparent distance from the center speaker and the rear speakers to the main listening position to make it seem the same as the distance between the listening position and main left and right speakers.

GLOSSARY

■Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 main left and right 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 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 rear 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 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 5 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.

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 Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 main left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear left and right channels (instead of only 1 rear channel for conventional Pro Logic technology). A music mode is also available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie mode.

■DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a 6-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 produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, 2 rear channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1 channels).

The unit incorporates DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1-channel reproduction by adding the rear center channel to existing 5.1-channel format.

■Neo:6

Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6 channel playback by a specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range of channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources and “Cinema mode” for movies.

■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

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 using headphones.

GLOSSARY

■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 using a minimal 2-speaker system that does not include a center speaker.

■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.

■S-video signal

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.

■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 P_R 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 use the component signal for output.
