The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Make sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

FEATURES ON SOUND EFFECT

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The 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. This unit has a total of 8 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

Digital Sound Field Processing

What is it that makes live music so good? Today's advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you'll still notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for YAMAHA engineers to bring you this same sound in your listening room, so you'll feel all the sound of a live concert.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging.

Dolby Digital

The built-in Dolby Digital decoder leads you into a totally new sound experiences.

Dolby Digital is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35mm film-movies by employing a new kind of low bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a "3/2" configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and Dolby Digital decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of the YAMAHA DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital decoder.

Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately re-create any one of these live performance environments, all in your home.

Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a "3/1" system (left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels.

Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie possesses.

LD and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect of Dolby Digital become the most suitable for your audio system and the listening conditions.

• Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.
• Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminal to maximize system performance.
  Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminal to maximize system performance.

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is much different from those of a movie theater.

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the room, letting you feel much presence as if you are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

This combination is available when the sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPORTS is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channel.

YAMAHA DSP technology made it possible to present you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

CINEMADSP

The YAMAHA "CINEMA DSP" logo indicates those programs are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA DSP technology.

Dolby Digital + 3 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and much surround effect in the room without losing high channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER or TV SPORTS is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (except in 2-channel).

SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

The main speakers should be high performance models and have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system.

Other speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high performance models that can reproduce sounds in the full range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.

Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. 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) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby Digital decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. When playing back a source using the DSP program, DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program with the Dolby Digital decoded, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

Note: Set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the "LARGE" or "SMALL" position. (For details, see page 19.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. When playing back a source using the DSP program, DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/ DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/ DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program with the Dolby Digital decoded, the center sound is output from the left and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs will be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

Note: Be sure to set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the "NONE" position. (For details, see page 19.)

Main L Center Main R
Rear L Rear R

Main L Main R

OUTPUT TERMINALS (FOR DRIVING SPEAKERS WITH EXTERNAL AMPLIFIERS)

(MAIN, CENTER and REAR OUTPUT terminals are provided for U.K. and Europe models only.)

MAIN OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the main channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive the main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

• Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, and BALANCE.

CENTER OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the center channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal.

If you are placing two center speakers on each side of the TV, use two amplifiers and connect each amplifier to one of the two CENTER OUTPUT terminals. Then connect the center speakers to the amplifiers.

REAR (SURROUND) OUTPUT terminals

These terminals are for the rear channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive the rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal

This terminal is for connecting to the input terminal of an amplifier for driving a subwoofer.

When the input signals to this unit are in normal 2-channel stereo, this terminal outputs only frequencies below 90Hz from the main and center channels. When discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor, the Dolby Digital decoder and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder.

The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control transmitter. After completing the adjustment of the output level for each speaker, use VOLUME ( ) on the remote control transmitter at your listening position to check if the adjustments are satisfactory.

Set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN or DSP position on the remote control transmitter.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR(DSP)

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The 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 an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to), and adding any desired adjustments.

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. The data for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

Note

The channel level balance between the left and right rear speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field are re-creation of actual acoustic environments.

Note

The values of the delay time, center/rear/subwoofer output level you set the last time will remain memorized even when this unit is in the standby mode. However, if the power cord is kept disconnected for more than one week, these values will automatically change back to the original factory settings.

ADJUSTMENTS IN THE “SET MENU” MODE

The following ten types of functions maximize the performance of your system and expand your enjoyment for audio listening and video watching.

1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER)
3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)
4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)

For details on "1. CNTR", "2. REAR", "3. MAIN", "4. BASS" and "5. M.LVL", see page 19. (Once you have selected the appropriate modes, you do not have to change settings unless any alteration is made in your speaker system.)

6. LFE [Adjusting the output level of the LFE (low frequency effect) channel]

Control range: -20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step) Preset value: 0 dB

• This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.

Adjusts the output level of the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted. (See page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)

1. LFE (LFE LEVEL)
2. D.RNG (DYNAMIC RANGE)
3. C DELAY (CENTER DELAY)
4. GUARD (MEMORY GUARD)
5. INPUT (INPUT MODE)

7. D.RNG (Adjusting dynamic range)

Choices: MAX/STD/MIN Preset position: MAX

• This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is decoded.

MAX: "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 very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track's wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds just like in a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard):

Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening to in your room, the low level parts of source sound often cannot be heard so well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track's dynamic range for a home audio format by "compressing" the data of sound. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital is reproduced in the "compressed" dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening.

MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source at lower level.

8. C DELAY [Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.)]

Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step) Preset value: 0 ms

• This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital contain center-channel signals.

Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel).

The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated.

This is for making 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 left or right main speaker to your listening position.

9. GUARD

Choices: ON/OFF Preset position: OFF

If you wish to prevent accidental alteration to SET MENU and other adjustments on this unit, select ON. The following functions on this unit can be locked by this operation.

• Functions in the SET MENU mode
