PROFILE OF THIS UNIT

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital

sound field processor. The processor allows you to

electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound

field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like

experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 12

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 (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel

sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources,

and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of DTS-

encoded audio and video sources. The operation of the Dolby

Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder can be

controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including

combined operations of DSP and Dolby Pro Logic Surround, DSP

and Dolby Digital (AC-3), or DSP and DTS.

This unit also features a built-in automatic input balance

control. This always assures you the best performance without

manual adjustment.

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 actual concert halls, jazz clubs,

theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately

recreate any one of these 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

Stereo 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 channel (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 a lot of sound tracks of pre-

recorded video tapes, laserdiscs, 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.

Dolby Digital (AC-3)

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of Dolby Surround

sound system which is a spatial sound processing format

developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate

audio coding.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that

provides completely independent multi-channel audio to

consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3)

provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred

to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and

right), plus two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect

channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency

effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other

channels. (This 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 (AC-3) 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 (AC-3) decoder, you can

experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo

Digital theater sound in your own home.

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.

The 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 any laserdisc or compact disc

(or DVD in the near future) 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 own home.

Laserdisc and compact disc (and DVD in the near future) 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.)

Dolby Digital (AC-3) forms 5.1 channels as mentioned on the

previous page, 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 the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in a market.

If a 2 channel stereo source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) is played back as the input source and the DSP

program No. 10, 11 or 12 is used at the same time, the source

is first decoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder into 2

channels, and then decoded with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder.

In such a case, only the decoding of Dolby Pro Logic is shown

on the display panel of this unit.

Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefit

from Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-

3) 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 (AC-3)

encoded video software.

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. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “PRO LOGIC/Enhanced” of

No. 12 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog,

PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2-

channels.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 (AC-3)-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 (AC-3) 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

will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present

time.

This combination is available when the digital sound field

program No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS

DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and the

input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-

3) (except in 2-channels) or encoded with the DTS.

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP

Dolby Surround sound system and DTS system show their 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 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 or

DTS Digital Surround sound.

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs

are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology

and Dolby Surround or DTS.

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 the Dolby Pro Logic

decoded, or playing back a source which contains center-

channel signals with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the 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 movie viewing 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 the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the 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.

SPEAKER SETUP

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 normal 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 up from 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

Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical

because low bass tones are not highly directional.

4 Speaker System

Simplest system.

You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two

additional speaker units at the rear.

1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.)

1A. CENTER SP—Set to NONE. (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. 6, 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.

1E. FRONT MIX—Set to OFF-7ch. (See page 27.)

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

5 Speaker System

Good for Audio/Video sources.

By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals

etc.) are precisely localized.

1E. FRONT MIX—Set to ON-5ch. (See page 27.)

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

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.

1E. FRONT MIX—Set to OFF-7ch. (See page 27.)

m 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 and/or OPTICAL digital signal input

terminals.

To make a connection between optical digital audio signal

terminals, remove the cover from each 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 41 for details.)

* However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this

unit’s OPTICAL MD/TAPE 1 PLAY and REC 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.

●

All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the

sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

●

In order to make this unit perform a successful DTS-

decoding, the DTS bitstream must not be altered,

manipulated or corrupted in the process that it is sent from

the DIGITAL OUT terminal of a unit playing back a source

encoded with the DTS to a digital signal input terminal of

this unit.

If your LD player has a DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) RF signal

output terminal, connect it to this unit’s DIGITAL (AC-3) RF

SIGNAL input terminal. Audio signals encoded with the Dolby

Digital (AC-3) are input to this unit by this connection.

* To play back an LD source with the Dolby Digital decoded,

set the input mode of LD to “AUTO” or “AC-3 RF”. (Refer to

page 41 for details.)

It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s

OPTICAL digital audio signal input terminal and/or analog

audio signal input terminals regardless of the DOLBY DIGITAL

(AC-3) RF signal connection, for playing back an LD source

with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or the DTS decoded, or in

normal stereo (or monaural).

Note

DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) RF audio input signal cannot be

recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder or VCR. To record an

LD source, the LD player must be connected to the OPTICAL

digital audio signal input terminal and/or analog audio signal

input terminals of this unit.

Notes about the Video superimpose

●

If you watch a video source that is connected to both S

VIDEO and VIDEO input terminals of this unit, signals of

screen display information are output from only the S

VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal.

●

When no video signal is input to either S VIDEO or VIDEO

input terminals of this unit, signals of screen display

information are output from both S VIDEO 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 S VIDEO MONITOR OUT or VIDEO

MONITOR OUT terminal in this case.

How to Connect:

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut 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 and/or

speakers.
