What's DSP?

Introduction

Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV amplifier available. Some of the more advanced features may not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in theaters around the world.

To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.

Digital Sound Field Processing

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created using data measured directly at the original venue; others are created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes.

Of course, that only solves half of the problem. These engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your listening room, so we've made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following surround sound technologies. Some are designed especially for music, and some especially for movies.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Dolby Pro Logic Surround has been used in movie theaters since the mid-seventies. It has also been available in home entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.

Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Pro Logic Surround encoding as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound system developed for 35mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. 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), and 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 is called the "subwoofer channel" or "LFE channel".) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

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.

By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo Digital theater sound in your home.

Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full range channels and precise sound orientation by the digital sound processing presents listeners much excitement and realism that has never been experienced before.

Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, and moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2 channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2 channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby Digital in the market.

Laserdisc 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.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed to replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and now, it is installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio.

The DTS technology, through intense research and development, made it possible to deliver a similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment.

The DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as "0.1"). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems

The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the six channels of 20-bit audio onto some laserdiscs, compact discs and DVDs with considerably less data-compression.

By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTS installed theater's high quality sound in your home.

Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD are home audio format within which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting new multi-channel music recordings will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP

The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater.

However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround sounds.

CINEMA DSP

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

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 were watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or "PRO LOGIC/Enhanced" of No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of the source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital in 2-channels.

Dolby Digital or DTS + 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 or the DTS-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 or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This is the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the digital sound field program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or "DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced" of No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS.

Speaker setup

Setting up your speaker system

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a seven-speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to the full seven-speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still performed, but the main speakers are used for both the main channels and the front effect channels.

Use of the center dialog speaker is recommended

When playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or playing back a source which contains center-channel signals with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance of your Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended that you use a center channel speaker.

If, for some reason, it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is possible to enjoy the movie without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

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 signals at the subwoofer channel with high fidelity during playing back a source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

■ Speakers and speaker placement

Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a SUBWOOFER.

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 full range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONT EFFECT and REAR SPEAKERS.

Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the ordinary position.
Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.5 - 1m behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.
Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position. They should be nearly 1.8m above the floor.
Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.)
If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

Recommended speaker system configurations

4 Speaker System

Basic system.

You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding a pair of rear speakers to a basic stereo speaker system.

1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 5ch. (See page 27.)

1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (See page 26.)

5 Speaker System

Good for Audio/Video sources.

By the use of a center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized.

1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 5ch. (See page 27.)

1A. CENTER SP—Set to LRG or SML. (See page 26.)

6 Speaker System

Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources.

When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 1 through No. 7, a sound effect matching that of a 7-speaker system can be obtained. The addition of front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective sound field.

7 Speaker System

This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects.

The rear speakers and the front effect speakers produces a 360-degree sound field, and the center speaker provides precise center localization.

You can experience the amazing YAMAHA "CINEMA DSP" sound fields completely with the 7 speaker system.

Basic connections of video units

VIDEO AUX terminals (on the front panel)

These terminals are used to connect a video input source such as a camcorder.

: S-video cable (Refer to page 19 for details about the SVIDEO terminal.)

For connecting with a TV monitor that uses a 21 pin connector for input (Europe and U.K. models only)

Make a connection as figured below with a commercially available scart-plug connector cable.

PAL/NTSC switch (China and General models only)

This unit is designed for use with the NTSC and PAL television formats. Set this switch to the position for the format your TV monitor employs.

PAL: Set to this position if your TV monitor employs the PAL format.

• Outputs signals in the PAL format no matter which format (PAL or NTSC) of video signal is sent from an external video unit to this unit.

NTSC: Set to this position if your TV monitor employs the NTSC format.

• Outputs signals in the NTSC format no matter which format (PAL or NTSC) of video signal is sent from an external video unit to this unit.

Note

Be sure to input a video signal which employs the same format that your TV monitor employs, otherwise a picture will not be played back normally.

Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals

If your CD player, MD recorder, LD player, DVD player, TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to this unit's COAXIAL or OPTICAL, or both terminals.

Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are necessary, especially for an LD player, a DVD player or a CD player to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to this unit.

To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an external unit, remove the cover from each optical terminal, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.

Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to only analog audio signal terminals of this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals between "digital" and "analog" easily. (See page 35 for details.)

• However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this unit's OPTICAL TAPE/MD IN and OUT terminals, it can record input sources connected to this unit's OPTICAL digital signal input terminals.

Notes

• When you connect an audio/video unit to both of the digital and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to both terminals of the same name.
• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from dust.
  In order to make this unit perform successful DTS-decoding, the DTS bitstream must not be altered, manipulated or corrupted in the process of sending the DTS bitstream from the DIGITAL OUT terminal of an external unit to a digital signal input terminal of this unit.
• All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the sampling frequency of 32kHz , 44.1kHz and 48kHz .

Connecting to DOLBY DIGITAL RF output of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player

If your DVD/LD/CD combi-player has a DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal, connect it to this unit's DIGITAL RF SIGNAL input terminal. Audio signals of an LD source encoded with the Dolby Digital are input to this unit by this connection. * To play back an LD source with the Dolby Digital decoded, set the input mode of DVD/LD to "AUTO" or "D.D.RF". (Refer to page 35 for details.)

It is also necessary to connect the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to this unit's analog audio signal input terminals regardless of the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal connection. This is for playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).

You must also connect the optical digital signal output terminal of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the OPTICAL DVD/LD digital signal input terminal of this unit. This connection is necessary for playing back a DVD source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, and playing back an LD source with DTS decoded.

Note

DOLBY DIGITAL RF audio input signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder or VCR. To record a source played back on the DVD/LD/CD combi-player, it must be connected to the OPTICAL digital audio signal input terminal and analog audio signal input terminals of this unit.

Connecting to SVIDEO terminals

If your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. and your monitor are equipped with "S" video terminals, connect them to this unit's SVIDEO terminals, and connect this unit's SVIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal to the "S" video input of your monitor. With this connection, you can play back and record high quality pictures. Otherwise, connect the "composite" video terminals from your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. to theVIDEO terminals of this unit, and connect this unit'sVIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal to the "composite" video input of your monitor.

Note

If video signals are sent to both SVIDEO input andVIDEO input terminals, the signals will be sent to their respective output terminals.

Notes about the Video superimpose

• If you watch a video source that is connected to both SVIDEO and VIDEO input terminals of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from only the SVIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal.
• When no video signal is input to either SVIDEO or VIDEO input terminals of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from both SVIDEO MONITOR OUT and VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminals with a color background.
• For China and General models, if the PAL/NTSC switch on the rear panel is set to "PAL", nothing will be output from either SVIDEO MONITOR OUT orVIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal in this case.

SVIDEO terminals

This unit provides you with SVIDEO terminals in addition to standard typeVIDEO terminals.

SVIDEO terminals transmit video signals separated into luminance (Y) signals and color (C) signals. In comparison with SVIDEO terminals, standard typeVIDEO terminals transmit "composite" video signals.

- Connecting an external decoder of a future format to this unit

This unit is equipped with additional 6-channel audio signal input terminals (for left main, right main, center, left rear surround, right rear surround and subwoofer channels) for inputting signals from an external decoder of a future format to this unit.

To listen to a sound by reproducing signals input to these terminals, press the EXT. DECODER button on the front panel so that "EXT. DECODER IN" appears on the display. By doing so, the signals input to these terminals are sent to the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals and OUTPUT terminals of this unit.

• When signals input to these terminals are selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.
• The settings of "1A" to "1E" in the SET MENU mode have no effect on the signals input to these terminals. The setting of "1F. MAIN LEVEL" is effective. (Refer to pages 26 to 27 for details.)
• The adjustments of the output level of the center speaker, rear speakers and subwoofer are effective when the signals input to these terminals are selected as the input source. (Refer to pages 43 to 44 for details.)

Speakers

Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

How to Connect:

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with the wire of the proper gauge (keep as short as possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct. That is the + and - markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

Caution

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit or the speakers, or both.

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (-)

① Loosen the knob.
② Insert the bare wire. [Remove approx. 5mm (1/4") insulation from the speaker wires.]
③ Tighten the knob and secure the wire.

Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

Note on main speaker connections:

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

Note on a subwoofer connection:

You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel when reproducing discrete signals.

When using a subwoofer, connect the SUBWOOFER terminal of this unit to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer.

With some subwoofoers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer are in the same unit. Such a subwoofer needs only the connection between the SUBWOOFER terminal of this unit and the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer.

(Refer to page 23 for details about the SUBWOOFER terminal.)

To drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with external amplifiers

The speaker connections described on page 21 are fine for most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with your existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.

1 MAIN PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals

The PRE OUT terminals are for main channel line output, and the MAIN IN terminals are for line input to the built-in main channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals must be connected with jumper bars when the built-in amplifier is used.

However, if you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars, and then connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to the PRE OUT terminals. No connection is needed to the MAIN IN terminals.

• Output signals from the PRE OUT terminals are affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls and BASS EXTENSION button and the TONE BYPASS button.

SUBWOOFER terminal

When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to this terminal. Low frequencies distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels are output from this terminal. (The cut-off frequency of this terminal is 90Hz .) Signals of LFE (low frequency effect) generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also output if they are assigned to this terminal.

3 CENTER terminal

This terminal is for center channel line output.

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

There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier.

4 FRONT terminals

These terminals are for front effect channel line output. If you drive front effect speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.

There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

REAR (SURROUND) terminals

These terminals are for rear channel line output.

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

There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

Notes

Output level of signals from all of these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote controller.
If an external power amplifier is connected to the CENTER, FRONT or REAR output terminals, do not use the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals (CENTER, FRONT or REAR).

• You can create your own sound field taste. (For details, refer to pages 54 to 58.)

Notes

• Program selection can be made to individual input sources. Once you select a program, it is linked with the input source selected at this time. So, when you select the same input source the next time, the same program will be automatically recalled.
  If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT button. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect.
• When a monaural sound source is played with the program PRO LOGIC (Normal/Enhanced), a proper effect will not be obtained. Moreover, sound may become unnatural depending on the settings of the speaker output modes (1A to 1D) in the SET MENU mode.
• When this unit's Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used, if the main-source sound is considerably altered by overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE control, the relationship between the center and rear channels may produce an unnatural effect.
• When a source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit is selected, the DSP cannot be used and the EFFECT button also will not function.

To enjoy a video source encoded with Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS

When you select the program No. 10, 11 or 12, and the input signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital is automatically decoded.

When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with DTS, DTS is automatically decoded.

The following indicators on the display panel show you what sound processing is being made.

① Lights up when a DVD source encoded with DTS is played back and DTS is decoded.
② Lights up when an LD source or a CD source encoded with DTS is played back and DTS is decoded.
③ Lights up when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with Dolby Digital is not in 2-channels.
④ Lights up when Dolby Pro Logic Surround is being decoded.
⑤ Lights up when Digital Sound Field Processor is turned on.

The display panel or the monitor screen will show the selected subprogram according to the type of the decoding.

Notes

• Dolby Digital will not be decoded if the source that is not encoded with Dolby Digital.
  DTS will not be decoded if the source that is not encoded with DTS.
• If the input signals of source encoded with Dolby Digital are in 2-channels only, the sound processing for them is similar to that for analog or PCM audio signals.
  The indicator ③ will also light up when the input mode is set to "D.D.RF" even if no signal encoded with Dolby Digital is input to this unit.

Note

If you change the LD (or CD) being played back with DTS decoded to another disc not encoded with DTS when the red "dts" indicator is illuminated, playing back the newly selected disc will output no sound. In this state, the red "dts" indicator flashes to show that this unit is locked in the DTS-decoding mode.

To play back the disc normally, change the current DTS-decoding mode to another mode by pressing an input selector key on the remote controller or the INPUT MODE button on the front panel so that the red "dts" indicator turns off.

To cancel the effect sound

The EFFECT button on the front panel or the EFFECT ON/OFF key on the remote controller make it simple to compare the normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound.

To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound, press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button. Press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button a second time to restore the effect sound.

Notes

• If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS are input to this unit, signals of all channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers.
• If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed to turn effect sounds off when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, press the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key to turn effect sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS.
• If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed to turn effect sounds off, some information is shown on the display panel depending on the type of the current digital input signals. When Dolby Digital is decoded, for example, the sampling frequency and channel formation of the decoded signal is shown on the display panel.

ex.)
Sampling frequency is 48kHz
Three channels at the front Two channels at the rear

• If the input source is a Dolby Digital KARAOKE source, "K" is shown at the head of channel formation.

• When (is not luminated on the display, the front effect speaker output level cannot be adjusted.

Brief overview of digital sound field 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. The data for these sound fields were recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

Note

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

8	CONCERT Classical Video	Opera	Provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining excessive reverberation. For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an opera.
		Pop/Rock	Produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that you are in the midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert. The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded.
9	TV THEATER Mono	Movie	This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.). Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a pleasant mix of conversations and picture.
		Variety/Sports	Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as the news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the surround side, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly restrained.

Function description

1. SPEAKER SET (Selecting the output modes suitable for your speaker system)

Refer to pages 26 to 27 for details. (Once you have selected proper modes, you do not have to make a setting change, unless your speaker system is modified.)

2. DLBY DGTL (DOLBY DIGITAL) SET

Adjusting method

After selecting the title "2. DLBY DGTL SET" in step 1 on page 50, press the + or - key to display the title "2A. LFE LEVEL". To select the title "2B. D-RANGE", press the key. (To select the title "2A. LFE LEVEL" again, press the key.) Then make a setting change or adjustment with the + or - key.

2A. LFE LEVEL [Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel]

Control range: -20 dB to 0 dB Preset value: 0 dB
This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.

Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signals to other signals can be adjusted. (Refer to page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)

2B. D-RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range)

• Choices: MAX/STD/MIN Preset position: MAX
  This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is 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 very wide dynamic range.

Dolby Digital technology can bring 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 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 in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard 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.

MAX: In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track's wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater.

Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in 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 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 in an extremely low level.

• In this position, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position.

3. DTS SET

Adjusting method

After selecting the title "3. DTS SET" in step 1 on page 50, press the + or - key to display the title "3A. LFE LEVEL". Then adjust its level with the + or - key.

3A. LFE LEVEL [Adjusting the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel]

Control range: -10 dB to 10 dB Preset value: 0 dB
- This adjustment is effective only when DTS is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with DTS contain LFE signals.

Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signals to other signals can be adjusted. (Refer to page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)

4. CENTER 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 Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS 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. In your audio system, the distance from the center speaker to your listening position may be shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position. In that case, sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers can reach your listening position at the same time by delaying the sound from the center speaker.

5. PARAMETER INI (Initializing parameters on a DSP program)

You can initialize all parameter settings on a DSP program. Note that a DSP program has two or three subprograms; all parameters on both subprograms are initialized by this operation.

Initializing method

After selecting this function (title) in step 1 on page 50, press the + or - key to display the DSP program numbers (1-12). A program number whose parameters has been changed is marked with . Press a DSP program selector key corresponding to the program number whose parameters you want to initialize. When initialized, the mark will disappear.

• Refer to page 35 for details about switching the input mode.

8. DIMMER (Changing brightness of the display panel)

You can adjust the brightness of the display panel in five degree increments.

Creating your own sound fields

What is a sound field?

In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, we need to first understand what a sound field really is.

What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound "live", these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting. We can even tell whether it is highly reflective with steel and glass surfaces, or more absorbent with wood panels, carpeting and curtains.

The elements of a sound field

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming straight to our ears from the player's instrument, there are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field:

(1) Early Reflections.

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms - 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one surface only—for example, from the ceiling or a wall. These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown in the diagram on page 56 for any particular environment, and provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

(2) Reverberations.

These are caused by reflections from more than one surface—walls, ceiling, the back of the room—so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic "afterglow". They are non-directional, and lessen the clarity of the direct sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this information that the DSP reproduces in order to create sound fields.

If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what Yamaha has done with the DSP.

DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to use DSP programs without changing values of parameters, however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust those parameters. Even if the power cord of this unit is disconnected from the AC outlet, your custom sound fields will remain in the DSP's memory for about two weeks. The following page details how to make your own sound fields.

In addition to the "TYPE" parameter which selects the subprograms within each DSP program (for example, "Europe Hall A", and "Europe Hall B" for the program 1, "CONCERT HALL 1"), each program also has a set of parameters that allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic environment to precisely create the effect you want. These parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for example, affects the length of time between the "early reflections"-that is, the first few widely spaced reflections you hear after the direct sound. The "ROOM SIZE" parameter provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the "room" you hear. In addition to room size, the shape of the room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out quicker, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to carry on for a longer period of time. The DSP parameters allow you to control these and many other factors that contribute to your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially "redesign" the concert halls, theaters, etc. provided to create custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your mood and music.

Refer to "Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters" on pages 56 to 58 for a description of what each parameter does, how it effects the sound, and its control range.

The display will pause for a moment at the initial set value of the parameter as a reminder. (On the monitor screen, the mark at the head of the parameter name will disappear upon reaching the initial set value of the parameter.)

Notes

For details about parameters, refer to pages 56 to 58.
- Parameter edits made in this way will remain in effect even if power is lost due to a power failure or the power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet for about two weeks, after which all parameters, as well as other adjustments or setting changes on this unit, will return to their initial values or conditions.

Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters

Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.

- ROOM SIZE

How it Affects the Sound:

Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound.

What it Does:

Adjusts the timing between the early reflections. Early reflections are the first group of reflections you hear before the subsequent, dense reverberation begins.

Control Range:

0.1-2.0

Standard setting is 1.0.

Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all doubled).

P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size)

Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound source.

S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)

Adjusts the apparent space size of the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes.

- INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)

How it Affects the Sound:

Changes the apparent distance from the source sound.

Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective surface determines the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the sound source within the acoustic environment.

What it Does:

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.

Control Range:

1-99 milliseconds

For a small living room this parameter would be set for a small value. Large values for a big room. Larger values produce an echo effect.

P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.

Control Range:

1-99 milliseconds

S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.

Control Range:

1-49 milliseconds

LIVENESS

How it Affects the Sound:

This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall.

The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity (decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the early reflections decay slowly is termed "live", while a room with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay rapidly is termed "dead". The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the "liveness" of the room.

LIVENESS (Presence Liveness)

Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front presence sound field becomes.

S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)

Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the rear surround sound field becomes.

What it Does:

Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay.

Control Range:

0-10.

REV. TIME (Reverberation Time)

How it Affects the Sound:

The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.

What it Does:

Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (1 kHz).

Control Range:

1.0 - 5.0 seconds.

The reverb time in a small-to-medium size hall would be between 1 and 2, and in a large hall it is normally between 2 and 3.

REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level)

This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.

Control Range:

0-100%

S. DELAY (Surround Delay)

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side sound field. The larger the value, the later the surround sound field is generated.

Control Range:

When Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded:

15-30 milliseconds

When Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded:

0-15 milliseconds

When a program without Dolby Surround or DTS

encoded is used:

15-49 milliseconds

Setting the SLEEP timer

Use the built-in SLEEP timer to automatically turn this unit into the standby mode after the time you set elapses. The SLEEP timer is useful when you plan to fall asleep while this unit is playing back or recording a source. The SLEEP timer also automatically turns off external units connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) on the rear of this unit. The SLEEP timer can only be set using the remote controller.

To set the SLEEP time

1 Select the source using the INPUT SELECTOR and start playback (or select a broadcast station) on the source unit.

Note

The SLEEP timer setting can also be canceled by setting this unit into the standby mode with the STANDBY/ON switch on the front panel (or the STANDBY key on the remote controller) or disconnecting the power plug of this unit from the AC outlet.

REMOTE CONTROLLER

The remote controller can operate the main unit as well as other Yamaha audio and video components. The Macro feature allows you to program a series of functions in sequence onto a single key, or you can use one of the preset macros to operate other Yamaha components in your home theater. This remote controller also has a sophisticated Learn feature that allows it to acquire functions from other remote controllers you use with other components in your system (or other household appliances) equipped with infrared remote control receivers. This feature makes it possible for you to reduce the number of remote controllers in your listening room.

Basic operation (Cover is open)

The remote controller is designed to control the most commonly used functions. If the CD player, tape deck, LD player, etc. is a YAMAHA component with remote control compatibility, this remote controller will also control various functions.

Using the "learning-capable" keys (Cover is open)

This is a learning remote controller. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to "learn" control functions from other remote controllers. This unit can be used in place of other remote controllers by learning their functions. It will be much convenient for you to operate various audio and video components.

Some of the "learning-capable" keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired.

• See page 68 for the learning method.
• See page 70 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions).

Note

If the memory capacity of the remote controller becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote controller, up to about 50 functions can be stored. Therefore, we recommend that only required functions be stored.

(^*1) : These buttons are used for learning a new function or clearing a learned function (or all learned functions). For details, refer to pages 68 to 70.

Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4)

In the "Learning-capable" keys, the keys numbered 1-4 in the illustration on the left can have three functions. This is because they have three memory areas (A, B and C). (One function per area.) You can store new functions into the area B and C, and use three functions on a key by switching the memory areas with the A/B/C switch. (Area A cannot learn a new function.)

To use these keys:

1. Before using a key, select area A, B or C of the key on which the function you want to use is stored by using the A/B/C switch.
2. Press the key.

The default settings of these keys are as follows.

	The position of A/B/C switch
	TAPE/MDCDWATUNER	QCDVR 1CDVD/LDTV/DBS	QCDVR 2CDWATUNER
1Qo	Preset with functions for controlling a Yamaha tape deck.	Empty	Preset with functions for controlling a Yamaha MD recorder (except the model MDX-9). (A/B, DIR A and B are empty.)
2Qo	Preset with functions for controlling a Yamaha CD player.(STOP is empty.)	Preset with functions for controlling a Yamaha DVD player(except the models DVD-1000 and DVD-S700).	Preset with functions for controlling a Yamaha LD player.(DISC is empty.)
3WM	Preset with functions for controlling a Yamaha tuner.	Empty	Empty
4	Preset as the DSP program selector keys.	Preset as the DSP program selector keys.	Preset as the DSP program selector keys.

Notes

• Area A cannot learn a new function. To store a new function, store it onto area B or C.
• If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the preset function will not work but is not deleted. When the learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored. (For information on clearing a learned function, refer to page 70.)

Empty keys (1, 2)

These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from another remote controller.

For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of your TV's power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your VCR's power switch.

About the marks on the remote controller

Mark	Meaning
0.0	Tape (Tape deck, VCR, etc.)
©	Disc (CD player, LD player, etc.)
WM	Radio wave (Tuner, TV/BS tuner, etc.)

An input selector key and other control keys which have the same mark will work for the same input source. These marks are also helpful for storing new functions.

Examples)

• Area B of keys ① is suitable for storing functions to control your VCR.
• Area B of keys 3 is suitable for storing functions to control your TV/BS tuner.

About the lighting of keys

When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3 seconds.

When an input selector key in the group of selected memory area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of a key group (1-3) which is the same as the mark of the selected input selector key lights up for about 3 seconds.

Example:

Conversely, when a key of the group 1-3 is pressed, its mark and the input selector key with the same mark in the group of the selected memory area light up for about 3 seconds.

This feature may be helpful for you if you store functions for controlling an input source to a group of keys whose mark lights up when the corresponding input selector key is pressed.

To record new functions

It is recommended that you write down stored key functions on the provided user function stickers and paste them on the reverse side of the remote controller or the reverse side of the remote controller's cover.

Memory back-up

All of the learned functions will be retained while you replace the batteries. However, if no batteries are installed for a few hours, the learned functions will be erased and will have to be learned again.

Using OPERATION CONTROL keys (Cover is closed)

When the cover of the remote controller is closed, you can easily operate Yamaha components including learned functions by using the OPERATION CONTROL keys.

When the cover is closed, the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for the keys numbered 1, 2 or 3 on the above illustration. To use these keys, you do not have to switch the A/B/C switch. The functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys are determined by the input selector key pressed before using the OPERATION CONTROL keys.

Note

Whether the cover is opened or closed, the EFFECT, MASTER VOLUME, MUTE, TV and VCR keys will not change their functions.

• If the MACRO switch on the side of the remote controller is set to "OFF", the SYSTEM POWER ON and STANDBY keys will not also change their functions whether the cover is opened or closed.

(^*1) : This key is originally empty. If this key has a learned function, pressing this key executes the learned function.

Examples of operations controlled by using the OPERATION CONTROL keys

To operate a Yamaha CD player

1. Press the "CD" input selector key.
2. Use the OPERATION CONTROL keys. (They carry out the functions in area A of keys ②.)

To operate your VCR

1. Press the "VCR" input selector key.
2. Use the OPERATION CONTROL keys. (They carry out the functions in area B of keys 1. This area is originally preset with no function. You must store the functions related to controlling the VCR in area B of keys 1 beforehand.)

See the table below for a combination of an input selector key and key functions which the OPERATION CONTROL keys carry out. (Also, refer to the table on page 62.)

Selected input selector key	Key functions which the OPERATION CONTROL keys carry out
TAPE/MD	Functions in area A of keys ① (except REC/PAUSE, A/B, DIR A and B)
CO	Functions in area A of keys ② (except STOP, DISC, < and >)
TUNER	Functions in area A of keys ③
VCR 1	Functions in area B of keys ① (except REC/PAUSE, A/B, DIR A and B)
DVD/LD	Functions in area B of keys ② (except STOP, DISC, < and >)
TV/DBS	Functions in area B of keys ③
VCR 2	Functions in area C of keys ① (except REC/PAUSE, A/B, DIR A and B)
SAux	Functions in area C of keys ② (except STOP, DISC, < and >)

Pressing the "PHONO" or "EXT. DEC." input selector key has no effect on the OPERATION CONTROL keys.

Notes

• If an OPERATION CONTROL key is substituted for a key which has no function (empty), then a command will not be carried out.

Depending on your plan, store functions from other remote controllers into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page 68 for the learning method.)

• While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote controller (for example, if you want to rewind a videotape while listening to a CD), you should open the cover of the remote controller and use the A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys.

(If you press an input selector key with the cover closed to change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently playing CD source is canceled.)

About the lighting of keys

When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you will know what keys are available at a glance.

Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed, all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the currently selected input selector key light up.

Macro operations (Cover is closed)

The Macro feature makes it possible to operate a series of functions by pressing just one key. For example, when you want to play a CD, normally you would turn on the equipment, select the CD input, and press the play key to start playback. Using the Macro feature you can operate all those functions by simply pressing the CD macro key. The preset macro keys (the input selector keys and SYSTEM POWER ON/STANDBY keys with an orange mark next to them) are preset with macro programs. If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to page 69 for making a new macro.)

Macros can be used only when the cover is closed and the MACRO switch is set to "SLOW" or "QUICK". (If "OFF" is selected, no macro will function even if the cover is closed.)

Setting the MACRO switch

OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the cover of the remote controller is closed.

QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals.

SLOW: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 3 second intervals.

The Macro feature allows you to operate several remote control functions in a programmed order by pressing one macro key. (Also, refer to the table on page 62.)

Macro key	Function of the key (and area) carried out when a macro key is pressed
	1st(Turns on this unit.)	2nd(Selects an input source.)	3rd(Starts playback of a source.)
I TAPE/MD	SYSTEM POWER ON	TAPE/MD	“▷” on area A of ke1

	SYSTEM POWER ON	TV	VCR
STANDBY	Sets this unit to the standby mode.	-	-
	STANDBY

Notes

• A key in which no function is stored will carry out no command.
• If it occurs that this unit will not receive the second command because the internal operation of the first command takes a long time, set the MACRO switch to the "SLOW" position.

• Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the "SLOW" position.

• Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote controller directed at the main unit's remote control sensor until the remote controller finishes transmitting all command signals of the macro key.

• You can also use the OPERATION CONTROL keys while using the macro functions.

Methods of learning and clearing functions

Learning a new function

• If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the LEARN button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.

4 Press the key on this remote controller in which you will store a new function.

• If a key which cannot learn another function is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.
• If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after a key is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. Restart from step 2.

5 Press and hold the key (on the other remote controller) which has the function you want to store.

When learning is finished, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator stops lighting. You can release the key. Then the indicator begins flashing slowly.

• If a signal is not successfully received, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode prior to step 4 is restored. Restart from step 4.
• If memory capacity is full, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly to show you that learning is impossible, and then the mode before you began learning operations is restored.

6 Repeat steps 3-5 to store more functions.
7 When you finish the learning operation, press the LEARN button.

Notes

• Newly learned functions will replace previously learned functions.
  If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash rapidly. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote controllers, no further learning is possible.
  If you close the cover while learning, and then about 5 seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before beginning learning operations is restored. Restart from step 2. However, if you open the cover within 5 seconds, the mode before closing the cover is restored.
• There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote controller, this remote controller will not be able to "learn" its signals.
• When you press the LEARN, MACRO or CLEAR button, or the RESET button inside of the battery compartment by using a sharp-pointed thing, be careful not to damage the button. If you will use a mechanical pencil, make sure that the lead is retracted.

Making a new macro

A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of the factory preset functions. (See page 66 to know what keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other keys.

Note

If you store a continuous function such as lowering the volume level, it may not work well when carried out as a part of macro.

1
Flashes slowly.

• If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the MACRO button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you pressed the MACRO button is restored. Press the MACRO button again.

2

Press a preset macro key on which you want to make a new macro.

Lights up.

• If a key other than a preset macro key is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.

Press a key whose function you want to store as the first function of the new macro.

3

Goes off. (When learning is finished, this indicator lights up again.)

• If a key whose function cannot be stored as a command of macro is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.
• If about 30 seconds pass before a key is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. Restart from step 1.

4

Repeat step 3 to store the second, the third and more functions. You can store up to seven key functions in series as a macro.

• If the seventh key function has been learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. (This shows that the key has completed learning a series of functions as a macro.) You do not have to follow the next step.

When you finish learning, press the MACRO button.

5

Notes

• If, for example, you store a function whose operation takes a long time as the first command, add a command which has no function between the first command and the second command, or repeat the second command again.
• If you program the power on/off switching function of TV, VCR, etc. as a part of a macro sequence, note that it switches the current mode to the other ("on" to "off", or "off" to "on").

For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of TV, VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off even though you may not want it to do so.

Clearing learned functions

To Clear a Learned Function To Clear All Learned Functions

1 To clear a learned key function, press the LEARN button using a ball-point pen or similar object. To clear a macro you made, press the MACRO button.

2 Press and hold the CLEAR button using a ball-point pen or similar object.

3 Holding the CLEAR button pressed, press and hold the key whose function you want to clear until the indicator flashes 3 times.

To clear two or more functions sequentially, do not release the CLEAR button, and repeat this step.

Note

If you clear a learned function of a key, the key is restored by the originally preset function. (except the keys which are originally preset with no function.)

1 Select the kind of key functions all of which you want to clear by using the MACRO switch on the side panel of the remote controller.

When playing back a source encoded with DTS:

Problem	Cause	What to Do
A loud hissing noise is heard when you play back a source encoded with DTS.	The player which plays back the source is not connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit.	The player must be connected to a digital audio signal input terminal of this unit besides analog audio signal terminal connections.
	The “ANALOG” input mode is selected on this unit.	Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn on the DTS decoder built into this unit.
A percussive noise is heard when you begin playing back a source encoded with DTS.	If the “AUTO” input mode is selected, depending on some sources, there may be a case that a noise is heard while this unit is identifying the format of input signal.	Set the input mode of the currently selected input source to “DTS”.
No sound is heard when you play back a source encoded with DTS, even though the “AUTO” or “DTS” input mode is selected on this unit.	The DTS decoder built into this unit does not function because the player has a digital volume control and it is set at a position other than “maximum”, “neutral” or “ineffective”.	Set the player's digital volume control at the maximum, neutral or ineffective position.
No sound is heard when you play back an MD onto which you have recorded a source encoded with DTS.	A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto an MD.
No sound is heard when you play back a DAT onto which you have recorded a source encoded with DTS.	Depending on a DAT deck, a source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto a DAT.
No sound is heard when you play back a source (CD etc.) even though the currently selected input mode is “AUTO”.	In the “AUTO” mode, DTS-decoding mode cannot be changed to the normal (PCM) digital signal input mode automatically.	Press the INPUT MODE button on the front panel or the input selector button (for the currently selected source) on the remote controller so that “PCM” appears on the display.

Notes

• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back a 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 used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard.
• If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with DTS, the "dts" indicator goes out from the display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the standard (PCM) digital signal input mode to prevent a noise from being output.
• A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a source encoded with DTS cannot be played back.

The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback).
