PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital
Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the
field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in
this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a totally
new listening environment –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from
Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Please read this owner’s manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll
feel all the sound of a live concert.
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisti-
cated measuring equipment, have even made it
possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of venues
such as an actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow
you to accurately recreate one of several actual live
performance environments, all in your own home.
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
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets
you experience the dramatic realism and impact of
Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own
home. Dolby Pro Logic gets its name from its profes-
sional-grade steering logic circuitry, which provides
greater effective front and rear channel separation for
a much higher degree of realism than the “passive”
Dolby Surround circuits found in less sophisticated
home audio/video equipment. Dolby Pro Logic
Surround provides a true center channel, so that there
are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby
Surround which has in effect only three channels: left,
right, and rear. This center channel allows listeners
seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the
dialog originating from action on the screen while
getting a stereo effect as well.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a
digital signal processing system. This system in-
creases sound stability at each channel and minimizes
crosstalk between channels compared to conventional
analog Dolby signal processing.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic
input balance control. This circuit always presents
you the best surround conditions without performing
manual adjustments.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP
You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic with two modes
of Digital Sound field processing. These combinations
expand the surround effect. One is the “EN-
HANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround which recre-
ates the surround effect of the 35 mm film movie
theater. The other is the sound field program ”70 mm
MOVIE THEATER”. Which recreates the listening
experience of a 70 mm film theater.
Directional Enhancement Circuit + DSP
The newly featured directional enhancement circuit
expands and focuses the digital sound field by
emphasizing position of sound.
This effect puts you in the midst of the action, while
centering and focusing your attention to the screen.
This circuit is available on the sound field program
“TV THEATER” and “SPORTS”.
CINEMA DSP
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates
these programs are created by the combination of
Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.

SPEAKER SETUP FOR THIS UNIT
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a seven speaker configuration. The speakers to be
used with this unit will be main speakers, front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound. These are usually a much larger, high-quality loudspeaker
than you will use for the surround sound effects. The center speaker is used for the center sound (dialog, etc.)
encoded with the Dolby Surround. And the front and rear speakers are used for special effects that enhance the
surround sound. The front, rear, and center speakers do not need to be equal to the main speakers. However, all
the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Seven-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended
one. In this configuration, the front speakers and the center
speaker are necessary along with the rear speakers. If the
digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY
PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER, TV
THEATER, or SPORTS is selected, conversations will be
output from the center speaker and the ambience will be
excellent.
• The FRONT MIX switch on the rear panel should be set to
the “7 ch” setting. (For details, refer to page 17.)
• Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or
“WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 17.)
Five-Speaker Configuration
When you only have five speakers, this configuration can be
very effective. In this configuration, the center speaker is
used for dialog when you select the digital sound field
program DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY PRO LOGIC EN-
HANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER, TV THEATER, or
SPORTS. The front speakers are not used. The main speakers
handle the front channel effects.
• The FRONT MIX switch should be set to the “5 ch”
setting. (For details, refer to page 17.)
• Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or
“WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 17.)
Four-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY
PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, the center sound
along with the front effects are output from the left and the
right main speakers. However, the sound effect of other
programs can be the same as that of the other configurations.
• Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHAN-
TOM” position. (For details, refer to page 17.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommended speaker configuration, the seven-speaker configuration, will require three speaker pairs: main
speakers, front speakers, and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the
following:
Main: In normal position. (The position of a standard
stereo speaker setup)
Front: Placed much further apart than the Main speakers,
facing slightly inwards. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8
m) up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker.) When two center speakers are
used, place these to the right and left of your TV
set or video monitor.
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly
inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.

ON SCREEN DISPLAY
If you connect a video cassette recorder, video disc player, monitor, etc., to this unit, you can display DSP
program names and information about the other settings and adjustments on the video monitor screen which is
connected to MONITOR OUT terminal (cannot display on ROOM 2 moinitor). This information is superimposed
over the video image.
If there is no program material on the monitor, the information will be displayed over a monochromatic back-
ground.
Notes:
• If you use a video monitor that is connected to both the S␣ VIDEO and composite terminals, the screen display informa-
tion is only output from the S␣ VIDEO terminals.
• When no video signal is input to any of the S␣ VIDEO or composite video input terminals, the screen display information
is output from the S␣ VIDEO and composite MONITOR OUT terminals with a monochromatic background.

CONNECTING TO ROOM 2 EQUIPMENT
With the Room 2 Remote transmitter you can select a different sound and video source for a second room.
To use the multi-room functions of this unit you need the following additional,optional products:
• An infrared signal receiver for the second room. (WCX-10)
• Master Zone Controller (MCX-10)
• An infrared emitter in the main room. (IRX-10/20)
This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the Room 2 Remote transmitter in the second room to the other
components in the main rooms (for example, the remote for your laserdisc player).
• An amplifier and speakers for the second room.
• A video monitor for the second room.
Note
Since there are so many ways to connect and use your RX-V2090 in a multi-room installation, we recommend that
you consult with a custom installation specialist for the Room 2 connections which will best meet your require-
ments.

Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the RX-V2090 via the REMOTE OUT terminals. If you own
these products, the use of an infrared emitter may not be necessary.
CAUTION
In some cases, adjustments made using the Room 2 Remote transmitter may not be evident on this unit.
For example, if both the main room and second room are set to the tuner, it is possible for the person in the
second room to change the station. This may be a problem, especially when you are taping a source without
directly monitoring it.
Using the Remote Transmitters
If you use the Room 2 Remote transmitter (the transmitter for the second room) in the main room, the input
selector keys of this remote affect the settings in the second room, not the main room. The other keys on the
transmitter work the same in both the main room and the second room.
If you use the Main Remote transmitter (the transmitter for the main room) in the second room, the keys that also
appear on the Room 2 Remote transmitter work except the input selector keys.
The indicator information:
1 Lights up momentarily when the Room 2 Remote transmitter is used in
the main room.
2 Lights up momentarily when the Room 2 Remote transmitter is used in
the second room.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
• Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram.
• Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide
sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an
indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference,
connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground.
A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into
moist earth.
Notes:
• When connecting the indoor FM
antenna, insert its connector into the
FM ANT terminal firmly.
• If you need an outdoor FM antenna to
improve FM reception quality, either
300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be
used. In locations troubled by electrical
interference, coaxial cable is preferable.
Orient so that the best
reception is obtained.

ADJUSTMENT BEFORE OPERATION
SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, front, center, and rear speakers
using the built-in test tone generator. With this adjustment, 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 adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control
transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

CENTER
MODE
Turn up the volume using the remote control transmitter.
You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from the left
main speaker, then the center speaker, then the right
main speaker, and then the rear speakers, for about two
seconds each. The display changes as shown below.
There are two types of tests: Dolby test and DSP test.
• DSP test:
NORMAL
WIDE
PHANTOM
TEST
• Dolby test:
Note:
When the FRONT MIX switch is set to “5ch” (5 channel
mode) the DSP test mode is not available.
* The test tone from the left rear speaker and the right rear
speaker will be heard at the same time.
To adjust the BALANCE, CENTER LEVEL and the
REAR LEVEL, go to steps 10~12.
Press the TEST button to run
the Dolby test.
9
Press the TEST button again to run the DSP test.
*
The test tone from the left main speaker and the right
main speaker, the left front and the right front speaker
will be heard at the same time.
To adjust the FRONT LEVEL, go to step 13.
• If your video monitor is on, the state of the test tone
output is also shown by an image of an audio
listening room on the screen.
In step 7, when you select the center mode, note the
following.
Seven and five speaker configuration
NORMAL: Select this mode when you use a
center speaker that is smaller than the
main speakers. In this mode, the bass
tone will be output from the front
main speakers.
WIDE: Select this mode when your center
speakers are approximately the same
size as the main speakers.
Note:
For seven speaker configurations, the FRONT MIX switch
on the rear panel should be set to the “7 ch” setting. For
five speaker configurations, the FRONT MIX switch
should be set to the “5 ch” setting.
Six and Four speaker configuration
PHANTOM: Select this mode when you do not
have a center speaker. The center
channel sound will be output from
the left and right main speakers.
18
Notes:
• Once you have completed these adjustments, you can
adjust whole sound level on your audio system by using
the VOLUME control (or the MASTER VOLUME keys
on the remote control transmitter).
• If you use external power amplifiers, their volume
controls may also need to be adjusted to achieve the
proper balance.
If there is insufficient sound output from the center
and rear speakers, you may decrease the main
speaker output level by setting the MAIN LEVEL
switch on the rear panel to “–10 dB”.
Notes:
• If the center channel mode is in the “PHANTOM”
position, the sound output level of the center speaker
cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the
center sound is automatically output from the left and
right front speakers.
• When the FRONT MIX switch is set to 5ch, front level
adjustment cannot be executed from the front panel or
from the REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER.
• You cannot adjust the front level when the LD/TV
switch is set to 5CH DISCRT mode.
• If you press the LEVEL +/– switch without previously
pressing the FRONT, CENTER, or REAR switch, the
last channel selected will be changed.
