FEATURES ON SOUND EFFECT

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital

sound field processor. The processor allows you to electroni-

cally 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 35 mm 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” configura-

tion: 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.

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.

Corporation. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are

trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

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 + DSP (CINEMA DSP)

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.

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.

CINEMA DSP

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs

are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and

YAMAHA DSP technology.

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.

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-chan-

nel).

SPEAKER SETUP

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.

5-Speaker Configuration

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.)

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

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.

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.)

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.

Banana plug connections are also possible (except for U.K. and

Europe models). Simply insert the banana plug connector into

the corresponding terminal.

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR SWITCH

Select the position whose requirements your speaker system

meets.

(Upper position)

Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance of

each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance

of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

Center: The impedance of the speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

(Lower position)

Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance of

each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance

of each speaker must be 16Ω or higher.

Center: The impedance of the speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

WARNING

Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch setting

while the power of this unit is on, otherwise this unit may be

damaged.

IF THIS UNIT FAILS TO TURN ON WHEN THE STANDBY/

ON SWITCH IS PRESSED, the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR

switch may not be fully set to either end. If so, set the switch

to either end fully.

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR

(Europe model)

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 90 Hz 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.

Note

Output levels of signals from all of these terminals are

adjusted by the use of VOLUME on the front panel or

VOLUME (

) on the remote control transmitter.

ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT

SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES

This unit provides you the following five functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for

your audio system. When speaker connections are all completed, select a proper position on each function to make the best use of

your speaker system. (See “ADJUSTMENTS IN THE ‘SET MENU’ MODE” on page 35)

1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) 2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER) 3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)

4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT) 5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)

DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION

1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL/NONE

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position when your center speaker is

approximately the same size as the main speakers.

SMALL: Select this position when you use a center speaker

that is smaller than the main speakers.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the

center channel are output from the main speakers (or

the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SMALL

position is selected on “3. MAIN” and the SW position

is selected on “4. BASS”).

NONE: Select this position when you do not have a center

speaker. The center channel sound will be output

from the left and right main speakers.

2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position if your rear speakers have a high

ability for bass reproduction, or a subwoofer is

connected to the rear speaker in parallel.

In this position, full range signals are output from the

rear speakers.

SMALL: Select this position if your rear speakers do not have

a high ability for bass reproduction.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the

rear channels are output from the SUBWOOFER

OUTPUT terminal (or the main speakers if the MAIN

position is selected on “4. BASS”).

3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position if your main speakers have a

high ability for bass reproduction.

In this position, full range signals present at the main

channels are output from the main speakers.

SMALL: Select this position if your main speakers do not

have a high ability for bass reproduction. However, if

your system does not include a subwoofer, do not

select this position.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the

main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER

OUTPUT terminal if the SW or BOTH position is

selected on “4. BASS”.

4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)

Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH

Preset position: SW

MAIN: Select this position if your system does not include a

subwoofer.

In this position, full range signals present at the main

channels, signals from the LFE channel and other

low bass signals that are selected on “1. CNTR” to

“3. MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are

output from the main speakers.

SW/BOTH:

Select either the SW or BOTH position if your

system includes a subwoofer.

In either position, signals at LFE channel and other

low bass signals that are selected on “1. CNTR” to

“3. MAIN” to be distributed from other channels are

output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

When the LARGE position is selected on “3. MAIN”,

in the SW position, no signal is distributed from the

main channels to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT

terminal, however in the BOTH position, low bass

signals from the main channels are output to both of

the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT

terminal.

5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)

Choices: NORMAL (NRML)/–10 dB

Preset position: NORMAL (NRML)

NORMAL (NRML):

Normally select this position.

–10 dB: Select this position if the sound output from the main

speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with

the sound output from the center and rear speakers.

In this position, the sound output from the main

speakers is attenuated.
