OUTLINE OF THIS SYSTEM
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this system takes 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 wide range of
listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from sources
encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.
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 own 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 venues such as an
actual concert hall and theater to allow you to accurately
recreate one of several actual live performance
environments, all in your own 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 minimizes
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.

Licensing Corporation. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + 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, and other factors
of your listening room are 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.
The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP
is used on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC
ENHANCED”.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these
programs are created by the combination of Dolby Pro
Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.

Speaker configuration
This system employs a 6-speaker configuration: 2 front
speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for
the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker
is for the center sounds (such as dialog.). The
subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies of the main
source sound and the center sound.

Placing speakers
Front speakers: On both sides of the TV and at
almost the same height as the TV.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position,
facing slightly inward. Nearly six
feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front
speakers.
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not
so critical because low bass tones
are not highly directional.
Note
Although FRONT, REAR, and CENTER speakers are
magnetically shielded, there may be some
influence on the TV picture depending on the type
of TV or the placement of the speakers. In such a
case, place the speakers far enough from the TV so
that there is no influence on the TV picture.
Before you make connections, place all units in this system in their proper positions. Above all, the positioning of the
speakers is important because it controls the whole sound quality of this system.
Position the speakers on the basis of your listening position by following the instructions in this section.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
When installing the center speaker on the TV, be sure to
secure the center speaker to the TV using the velcro strips
provided so that it does not fall.
Notes
• Do not place the center speaker on top of a TV
whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the
center speaker, as the center speaker may drop and
cause personal injury.
• Although this center speaker is a magnetically
shielded type, there may be some influence on the
TV picture depending on the type of TV or the
placement of the center speaker. In such a case,
place the center speaker apart from the TV so that
there is no influence on the TV picture.
• Be sure to remove all dust, debris, oil, and other
substances adhering to the section where the velcro
strip is affixed. If this section is dirty, the velcro strip
will not affix properly, and the center speaker may
move or fall.
• When peeling off the backing paper of the velcro
strips, be careful not to touch the adhesive surface.
Doing so harms the adhesion strength.
• If there is a gap between the center speaker and TV,
turn and extend the adjuster on the bottom rear
section of the center speaker so that the center
speaker is stable.

CONNECTIONS
Connect the provided speakers to the SPEAKERS
terminals on the rear of the SW-AVS7.
All of the speakers are identical.
The speakers connected to the FRONT R and L
terminals should be used as the right and left front
speakers.
The speakers connected to the REAR R and L
terminals should be used as the right and left rear
speakers.
Notes
● Do not connect speakers to the SW-AVS7 other than
the provided ones.
● Use the provided speaker cords for the connections.
Normally, use the short cords to connect to the front
speakers, and use the long ones to connect to the
rear speakers. The four cords are marked FRONT L,
FRONT R, REAR L and REAR R for your reference.
How to Connect:
Connect the provided speaker cords between the
SPEAKERS terminals on the power
amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AVS7) and the speaker
terminals on each speaker as shown below. If the
connections are incorrect, no sound will be heard from
the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the
speaker wires is correct with reference to the + and –
markings. If these wires are reversed, the sound will
be unnatural and lack bass.
To avoid mistakes, connect the wire with a line to the +
terminals on both the power amplifier/subwoofer (SW-
AVS7) and speaker, and connect the wire with no line
to the – terminals on both of them.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other
as this could damage the SW-AVS7 and/or the
speakers.
On the SW-AVS7:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
➀
Lift up the tab.
➁
Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx.
5mm (1/4”)
insulation from the
speaker wires.]
➂
Press down the tab
and secure the
wire.
On the FRONT and REAR speakers (NX-AV1):
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
➀
Press the tab.
➁
Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx.
5mm (1/4”)
insulation from the
speaker wires.]
➂
Release the tab and
secure the wire.
