Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment.This
unit is one of the most complete and advanced AVamplifier
available. Some of the more advanced features maynot be familiar to
you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-arttechnologies such as
Dolby Digital and Digital TheaterSystems (DTS) may be new to your
home, but you haveprobably experienced the amazing realism they
bring to featurefilms in theaters around the world.
To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, thisunit
includes a number of exclusive, digitally created
listeningenvironments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a
soundfield program is like transporting yourself to such venues as
anoutdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Takesome
time now to read more about these features and enjoythe new
experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
Digital Sound Field ProcessingTechnological advances in sound
reproduction over the last 30years have enhanced the listening
experience with improvedclarity, precision and power. However,
something has still beenmissing: The atmosphere and acoustic
ambiance of the publicvenue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively
researchedthe nature of sound acoustics and the way sound
reflectsinside a room. We sent these engineers to famous
theatersand concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics
ofthose venues with sophisticated microphones. The data
theycollected is used to recreate these environments in
digitalsound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are
createdusing data measured directly at the original venue; others
arecreated from combinations of data to form uniqueenvironments for
specific purposes.
Of course, that only solves half of the problem. Theseengineers
have no way of knowing the acoustics of yourlistening room, so
we’ve made it possible for you to adjust thevarious parameters of
this data to tailor each virtual venue toyour taste. You can use
these sound fields to enhance anysource and in combination with any
of the following surroundsound technologies. Some are designed
especially for music,and some especially for movies.
Dolby Pro Logic SurroundDolby Pro Logic Surround has been used
in movie theaterssince the mid-seventies. It has also been
available in homeentertainment systems since the late eighties and
continues tobe a popular format for home theater systems. It uses
fourdiscrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic
anddynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right),
acenter channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special
soundeffects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a
narrowfrequency range.
Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Pro LogicSurround
encoding as do many TV and cable broadcasts. TheDolby Pro Logic
Surround decoder built into this unit employs adigital signal
processing system that stabilizes each channelfor even more
accurate sound positioning than is available withstandard analog
processors.

Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound
systemdeveloped for 35 mm film-movies by employing low
bit-rateaudio coding.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that
providescompletely independent multi-channel audio to you.
DolbyDigital provides five full range channels in what is
sometimesreferred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels
(left,center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth
bass-onlyeffect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low
frequencyeffect), or low bass effects that are independent of
otherchannels. (This is called the “subwoofer channel” or
“LFEchannel”.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise
tothe 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 orsplit surrounds, each offering the same full range
fidelity as thethree front channels.
By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can
experiencethe dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo Digital
theatersound in your home.Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by
the five full rangechannels and precise sound orientation by the
digital soundprocessing presents listeners much excitement and
realismthat has never been experienced before.
Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, andmoreover,
it can also form fewer channels, for example 2channel stereo and
monaural. You may be able to find some 2channel stereo and/or
monaural sources encoded with DolbyDigital in the market.
Laserdisc and DVD are home audio formats that could benefitfrom
Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also
beapplied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release ofDolby Stereo
Digital theatrical films now underway will providean immediate
source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) system was developed toreplace
analog soundtracks of movies with six discretechannels of digital
soundtracks, and now, it is installed in manytheaters around the
world. The DTS digital playback systemchanged the way we
experienced movies in theaters with sixdiscrete channels of superb
digital audio.
The DTS technology, through intense research anddevelopment,
made it possible to deliver a similarencode/decode discrete
technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment.The DTS
Digital Surround is an encode/decode system whichdelivers six
channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically5.1 channels,
which means 5 full-range (left, center, right andtwo surround)
channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as“0.1”). It is
compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations thatare currently
available for home theater systems
The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode thesix
channels of 20-bit audio onto some laserdiscs, compactdiscs and
DVDs with considerably less data-compression.
By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you canexperience
the dramatic realism and impact of the DTSinstalled theater’s high
quality sound in your home.
Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD are home audio formatwithin
which DTS can represent its high quality multi-channelaudio. (In
addition to movies on laserdiscs, many exciting newmulti-channel
music recordings will also become available inthe form of
DTS-encoded compact discs.)

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side andthe
rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-decoded sound
field respectively. They create a wideacoustic environment and
emphasize surround-effect in theroom, letting you feel much
presence as if you werewatching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo
theater.
This combination is available when the digital sound
fieldprogram 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 andthe
independent left and right surround sides of the
DolbyDigital-decoded or the DTS-decoded sound fieldrespectively.
They create a wide acoustic environment andmuch surround effect in
the room without losing highchannel separation. With wide dynamic
range of DolbyDigital or DTS sound, this sound field combination
lets youfeel as if you were watching a movie in the newest
DolbyStereo Digital theater or DTS installed theater. This is
themost ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the digital sound
fieldprogram No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or “DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTSDIGITAL
SUR.)/Enhanced” of No. 12 is selected, and theinput signal of the
source is encoded with the Dolby Digital(except in 2-channels) or
encoded with the DTS.
CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their fullability
in a large movie theater, because movie sounds areoriginally
designed to be reproduced in a large movie theaterthat uses a
multitude of speakers. Trying to create a soundenvironment similar
to that of a movie theater in your home isdifficult because of the
room size, material inside the walls, thenumber of speakers, and so
on. In other words, your listeningroom is very different from a
movie theater.
However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearlythe
same sound experience as that of a large movie theater inyour home
by compensating for the lack of presence anddynamics in the
listening room with original digital sound fieldscombined with
Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surroundsounds.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programsthat are
created by the combination of YAMAHA DSPtechnology and Dolby
Surround or DTS.

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound
fieldquality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair
ofmain speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairsof
effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one centerspeaker
for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use aseven-speaker
setup. A four-speaker system using only onepair of effect speakers
for the sound field will still provideimpressive ambience and
effects, however, and may be agood way to begin with this unit. You
can always upgrade tothe full seven-speaker system later. In the 4
or 5 speakersystem, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still
performed,but the main speakers are used for both the main
channelsand the front effect channels.
Use of the center dialog speaker isrecommendedWhen playing back
a source with Dolby Pro Logic decoded, orplaying back a source
which contains center-channel signalswith Dolby Digital or DTS
decoded, dialog, vocals etc. areoutput from the center channel.
Therefore, if you want tomaximize the performance of your
Audio/Video home theatersystem, it is recommended that you use a
center channelspeaker.
If, for some reason, it is not practical to use a center
speaker, itis possible to enjoy the movie without it. Best results,
however,are obtained with the full system.
Use of a subwoofer expands your soundfieldIt is also possible to
further expand your system with theaddition of a subwoofer and
amplifier. The use of a subwooferis effective not only for
reinforcing bass frequencies from anyor all channels, but also for
reproducing signals at thesubwoofer channel with high fidelity
during playing back asource with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded. You
may wish tochoose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo
ProcessingSubwoofer System, which has its own built-in power
amplifier.
Speaker setup
m Speakers and speaker placement
Your full seven-speaker system will require three speakerpairs:
the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers),the FRONT EFFECT
SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS,plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may
also be using aSUBWOOFER.
The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance modelsand have
enough power handling capacity to accept themaximum output of your
audio system.Other speakers do not have to be equal to the
MAINSPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it isideal
to use high performance models that can reproducesounds in full
range for the CENTER SPEAKER, the FRONTEFFECT and REAR
SPEAKERS.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the ordinary position.Place the FRONT
EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than theMAIN SPEAKERS, on either side
of and 0.5–1m behind andabove 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
twoMAIN SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speakerabove or
below the television monitor, or use a magneticallyshielded
speaker.)If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active
ServoProcessing Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker isnot
so critical because low bass tones are not highlydirectional.

Basic system.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding a pair ofrear
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.)
6 Speaker System
Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources.
When a normal stereo source is played back with the soundfield
programs No. 1 through No. 7, a sound effect matchingthat of a
7-speaker system can be obtained. The addition offront left and
right effect speakers produces a more effectivesound field.
1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 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 a center speaker, center sounds (dialog,
vocalsetc.) are precisely localized.
1E. SYS. SETUP—Set to 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 thebest sound
effects.
The rear speakers and the front effect speakers produces
a360-degree sound field, and the center speaker providesprecise
center localization.You can experience the amazing YAMAHA “CINEMA
DSP”sound fields completely with the 7 speaker system.

The speaker connections described on page 21 are fine formost
applications. If for some reason, however, you wish todrive main,
center, front effect and/or rear speakers with yourexisting
amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available
forconnecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.
1 MAIN PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminalsThe PRE OUT terminals are for
main channel line output,and the MAIN IN terminals are for line
input to the built-inmain channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN
INterminals must be connected with jumper bars when thebuilt-in
amplifier is used.However, if you drive main speakers with an
externalstereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars,
andthen 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 tothe MAIN IN terminals.* Output
signals from the PRE OUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCEcontrols and BASS
EXTENSION button and the TONEBYPASS button.
2 SUBWOOFER terminalWhen using a subwoofer, connect its
amplifier input tothis 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 90 Hz.)
Signalsof LFE (low frequency effect) generated when DolbyDigital or
DTS is decoded are also output if they areassigned to this
terminal.
3 CENTER terminalThis terminal is for center channel line
output.If you drive a center speaker with an external
poweramplifier, connect the input terminal of the externalamplifier
to this terminal.There is no connection to this terminal when you
use thebuilt-in amplifier.
4 FRONT terminalsThese terminals are for front effect channel
line output. If you drive front effect speakers with an external
stereopower amplifier, connect the input terminals of theexternal
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of anamplifier or a receiver)
to these terminals.There is no connection to these terminals when
you usethe built-in amplifier.
5 REAR (SURROUND) terminalsThese terminals are for rear channel
line output. If you drive rear speakers with an external stereo
poweramplifier, connect the input terminals of the
externalamplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or
areceiver) to these terminals.There is no connection to these
terminals when you usethe built-in amplifier.
