Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment.
This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV
receiver available. Some of the more advanced features may
not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art
technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater
Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have
probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature
films in theaters around the world.
To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this
unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening
environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound
field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an
outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take
some time now to read more about these features and enjoy
the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
Digital Sound Field Processing
Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30
years have enhanced the listening experience with improved
clarity, precision and power. However, something has still been
missing: The atmosphere and acoustic ambiance of the public
venue. Our Yamaha engineers have extensively researched
the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects
inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters
and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of
those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they
collected is used to recreate these environments in digital
sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields are created
using data measured directly at the original venue; others are
created from combinations of data to form unique
environments for specific purposes.
Of course, that only solves half of the problem. These
engineers have no way of knowing the acoustics of your
listening room, so weve made it possible for you to adjust the
various parameters of this data to tailor each virtual venue to
your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any
source and in combination with any of the following surround
sound technologies. Some are designed especially for music,
and some especially for movies.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Pro Logic Surround has been used in movie theaters
since the mid-seventies. It has also been available in home
entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to
be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four
discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and
dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a
center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound
effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow
frequency range.
Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Pro Logic
Surround encoding as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The
Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder built into this unit employs a
digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel
for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with
standard analog processors.

Dolby Digital is the next level of Dolby Surround sound system
developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing low bit-rate
audio coding.
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides
completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby
Digital provides five full range channels in what is sometimes
referred to as a 3/2 configuration: three front channels (left,
center and right), and 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 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 decoder, you can experience
the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Stereo Digital theater
sound in your home.
Wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five full range
channels and precise sound orientation by the digital sound
processing presents listeners much excitement and realism
that has never been experienced before.
Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as mentioned left, 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 Dolby
Digital in the market.
Laserdisc 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.

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 some laserdiscs, compact
discs and DVDs 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 theaters high quality sound in your home.
Laserdisc, compact disc and DVD 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 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. 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 and
the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby
Digital-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 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 is the
most ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the digital sound field
program No. 8, 9, 10, 11 or DOLBY DIGITAL (or DTS
DIGITAL SUR.)/Enhanced of No. 12 is selected, and the
input 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 full
ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are
originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater
that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound
environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is
difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the
number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening
room is very different from a movie theater.
However, Yamaha DSP technology allows you to create nearly
the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in
your home by compensating for the lack of presence and
dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround
sounds.
The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP logo indicates those programs
that 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 Dolby Pro Logic decoded, or
playing back a source which contains center-channel signals
with Dolby Digital or 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 the movie 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 Dolby Digital or 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 ordinary position.
Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the
MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and 0.51m behind and
above 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 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
Processing Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is
not so critical because low bass tones are not highly
directional.

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. 7, 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.
1A. CENTER SPSet to NONE. (See page 29.)
5 Speaker System
Good for Audio/Video sources.
By the use of a center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals
etc.) are precisely localized.

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 units COAXIAL or OPTICAL, or both terminals.
Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog
audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are
necessary, especially for an LD player, a DVD player or a CD
player to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to
this unit.
To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an
external unit, remove the cover from each optical 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 38 for details.)
* However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this
units OPTICAL TAPE/MD IN and OUT terminals, it can
record input sources connected to this units OPTICAL
digital signal input terminals.

If your DVD/LD/CD combi-player has a DOLBY DIGITAL RF
signal output terminal, it can be connected to this unit by using
an RF demodulator (separate purchase).
First, connect the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal of
the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the DOLBY DIGITAL RF
signal input terminal of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the
coaxial digital signal output terminal of the RF demodulator to
the COAXIAL digital signal input terminal of this unit.
This connection is necessary for sending audio signals of an
LD source encoded with Dolby Digital to this unit.
It is also necessary to connect the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to
this units analog audio signal input terminals regardless of the
DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal connection. This is for playing back
a source with Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal
stereo (or monaural).
You must also connect the optical digital signal output terminal
of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the OPTICAL DVD/LD
digital signal input terminal of this unit.
This connection is necessary for playing back a DVD source
with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, and playing back an LD
source with DTS decoded.
When these connections are completed, set the input mode of
the DVD/LD source to AUTO, and you will hear sounds
decoded with Dolby Digital even if signals are input to both
COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital signal input terminals of this
unit. This is because signals input to the COAXIAL terminal
take priority over signals input to the OPTICAL terminal.
Refer to page 38 for details about switching the input mode.
Notes
G
If, for example, you play a CD on the DVD/LD/CD combi-
player, there is no input to the COAXIAL terminal, so the
signals input to the OPTICAL terminal take priority. In this
case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound
without interference. However, if your RF demodulator is the
Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.
G
When you want to play an LD source encoded with Dolby
Digital without decoding Dolby Digital, you must switch off
the power of the RF demodulator.

Note on main speaker connections:
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If
you use only one speaker system, connect it to either the
SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
Note on a subwoofer connection:
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce low frequencies
or to output low bass sound from the subwoofer channel when
reproducing discrete signals.
When using a subwoofer, connect the SUBWOOFER terminal
of this unit to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier,
and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier
to the subwoofer.
With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo
Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer
are in the same unit. Such a subwoofer needs only the
connection between the SUBWOOFER terminal of this unit
and the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer.
(Refer to page 24 for details about the SUBWOOFER
terminal.)
PREPARATION
24
The speaker connections described on page 22 are fine for
most applications. If for some reason, however, you wish to
drive main, center, front effect and/or rear speakers with your
existing amplifier, etc., the following terminals are available for
connecting external amplifier(s) to this unit.
1 MAIN PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
The PRE OUT terminals are for main channel line output,
and the MAIN IN terminals are for line input to the built-in
main channel amplifier. The PRE OUT and MAIN IN
terminals must be connected with jumper bars when the
built-in amplifier is used.
However, if you drive main speakers with an external
stereo power amplifier, first remove the jumper bars, and
then 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 to
the MAIN IN terminals.
* Output signals from the PRE OUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE
controls and BASS EXTENSION button and the TONE
BYPASS button.
2 SUBWOOFER terminal
When using a subwoofer, connect its amplifier input to
this 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.) Signals
of LFE (low frequency effect) generated when Dolby
Digital or DTS is decoded are also output if they are
assigned to this terminal.
3 CENTER terminal
This terminal is for center channel line output.
If you drive a center speaker with an external power
amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external
amplifier to this terminal.
There is no connection to this terminal when you use the
built-in amplifier.
4 FRONT terminals
These terminals are for front effect channel line output.
If you drive front effect speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the
external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an
amplifier or a receiver) to these terminals.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
5 REAR (SURROUND) terminals
These terminals are for rear channel line output.
If you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power
amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of an amplifier or a
receiver) to these terminals.
There is no connection to these terminals when you use
the built-in amplifier.
Notes
Output level of signals from all of these terminals are
adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel
or MASTER VOLUME keys on the remote controller.
If an external power amplifier is connected to the
CENTER, FRONT or REAR output terminals, do not use
the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals (CENTER,
FRONT or REAR).

Antennas
G
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, as shown in the following figure.
G
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 only with the indoor antennas, the use of an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Connecting the indoor FM antenna
Connect the included indoor antenna to the 75 UNBAL. FM
ANT terminal.
Note
Do not use an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM
antenna at the same time.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect
the GND terminal to a good ground. A good ground is a
metal stake driven into moist earth.
Optional outdoor FM antenna
Consult your dealer or authorized service center about the best
method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of the flat ribbon cable is also important. Flat ribbon
cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat
easier to handle when routing it through windows and around
rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better
job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of
weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a
signal conductor as flat ribbon cable. Coaxial cable is
somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable
enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the
antenna is designed to be used with this type of cable.
* Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a
75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.

Notes for FM antenna installation
G
To minimize the influence of automobile ignition noise,
locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.
G
Keep the flat ribbon cable or coaxial cable as short as
possible. Do not bundle or roll up an excess of the cable.

11 For the front effect speaker level adjustment, press
the TEST key on the remote controller again so that
TEST DSP appears on the display.
A calibration signal should be heard from the main
speakers and the front effect speakers in turn.
12 Adjust the front effect speaker level by pressing the
+ or key so that it becomes almost the same as
the main speakers.
* While adjusting, the test tone is fixed on the front
effect speaker.
* Pressing the or key makes the test tone fix
on the left front effect speaker and the right front
effect speaker respectively. This is helpful for you
to check that each speaker is correctly connected
to this unit.
13 When the adjustment is finished, press the TEST
key once again to cancel the test tone.
Notes
G
Once you have completed these adjustments, you can
adjust the sound level on your audio system by using the
VOLUME control (or the MASTER VOLUME keys on the
remote controller) only.
G
If you use external power amplifiers, you may also use
their volume controls to obtain proper balance.
G
If the function 1A. CENTER SP in the SET MENU mode
is set in the NONE position, in step 10, 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 main speakers.
G
If there is insufficient sound output from the center and
rear speakers, you may decrease the main speaker
output level by setting the function 1F. MAIN LEVEL in
the SET MENU mode in the 10dB position.

Notes on recording
G
The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls, the
BASS EXTENSION button and the settings of DSP have
no effect on the material being recorded.
G
Composite video and S video signals pass independently
through this units video circuits. Therefore, when recording or
dubbing video signals, if your video source unit is connected
to provide only a S video (or only a composite video) signal,
you can record only a S video (or only a composite video)
signal on your VCR.
G
A source that is connected to this unit between optical
digital terminals only cannot be recorded by a tape deck or
VCR other than the tape deck (or MD recorder etc.)
connected to the OPTICAL TAPE/MD OUT terminal of this
unit.
G
A source of signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER
INPUT terminals of this unit cannot be recorded.
G
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record
from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of
copyright material may infringe on copyright laws.
G
<For Australia, China, Singapore and General models
only>
Dolby Digital RF audio input signal cannot be recorded by a
tape deck 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.
If you play back a video source that uses scramble or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, there may
be a case that display information superimposed on the
picture and/or the picture itself is disturbed due to those
signals.
BASIC OPERATION
Adjusting the BALANCE control
Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right
speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by
speaker location or listening room conditions.
Note
This control is effective only for the sound from the main
speakers.
Using the BASS EXTENSION
button
Press this button inward (ON) to boost the bass frequency
response at the main left and right channels while maintaining
overall tonal balance. This function is effective for reinforcing
the bass frequencies when a subwoofer is not used.
Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE
controls
BASS : Turn this knob clockwise to increase (or counter-
clockwise to decrease) the low frequency
response.
TREBLE : Turn this knob clockwise to increase (or counter
clockwise to decrease) the high frequency response.
Note
These controls are effective only for the sound from the main
speakers.
Using the TONE BYPASS button
Press this button inward (ON) to bypass the tone (BASS and
TREBLE) control circuitry. This function is used for outputting
pure sound and checking the tone control settings. The tone
control circuitry can be used when this button is released

Notes
A new setting can be programmed in place of the former
one.
For presets, the setting of the reception mode (stereo or
monaural) is stored along with the station frequency.
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data
from being lost even if this unit is set to the standby mode or
the power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet or the
power is cut due to a temporary power failure. If, however, the
power is cut for about two weeks, the memory may be
deleted. If so, it can be re-programmed by simply following
the Preset tuning steps.
Manual preset tuning
This unit can store station frequencies selected by the tuning operation. With this function, you can recall any desired station only by
selecting the preset station number. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 groups) can be stored.

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. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend
on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Digital decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound
reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, and a DTS decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded
with DTS. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including a combined
operation of YAMAHA DSP and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround or DTS.
This unit has 12 programs for digital sound field processing; 7 from actual acoustic environments from around the world, and 5
programs for Audio/Video sources. In addition, each program has two subprograms. All programs contain various parameters that
can be adjusted to the listeners taste.
For details about digital sound field programs, refer to pages 53 to 57.

To enjoy a video source encoded
with Dolby Pro Logic Surround,
Dolby Digital or DTS
When you select the program No. 10, 11 or 12, and the input
signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic
Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the
input signal of the source is encoded with Dolby Digital, Dolby
Digital is automatically decoded.
When some program is selected and the input signal of the
source is encoded with DTS, DTS is automatically decoded.
The following indicators on the display panel show you what
sound processing is being made.
1Lights up when a DVD source encoded with DTS is played
back and DTS is decoded.
2Lights up when an LD source or a CD source encoded with
DTS is played back and DTS is decoded.
3Lights up when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the
signals of selected source encoded with Dolby Digital is
not in 2-channels.
4Lights up when Dolby Pro Logic Surround is being
decoded.
5Lights up when Digital Sound Field Processor is turned
on.
The display panel or the monitor screen will show the selected
subprogram according to the type of the decoding.
Notes
G
Dolby Digital will not be decoded if the source that is not
encoded with Dolby Digital.
DTS will not be decoded if the source that is not encoded
with DTS.
G
If the input signals of source encoded with Dolby Digital
are in 2-channels only, the sound processing for them is
similar to that for analog or PCM audio signals.
G
<For Australia, China, Singapore and General models
only>
The indicator 3 will also light up when the input mode is set
to D.D.RF even if no signal encoded with Dolby Digital is
input to this unit.
Note
If you change the LD (or CD) being played back with DTS
decoded to another disc not encoded with DTS when the red
dts indicator is illuminated, playing back the newly selected
disc will output no sound. In this state, the red dts indicator
flashes to show that this unit is locked in the DTS-decoding
mode.
To play back the disc normally, change the current DTS-
decoding mode to another mode by pressing an input selector
key on the remote controller or the INPUT MODE button on
the front panel so that the red dts indicator turns off.
To cancel the effect sound
The EFFECT button on the front panel or the EFFECT ON/OFF
key on the remote controller make it simple to compare the
normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound.
To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound,
press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button. Press
the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button a second time
to restore the effect sound.
Notes
G
If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with
Dolby Digital or DTS are input to this unit, signals of all
channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers.
G
If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed
to turn effect sounds off when Dolby Digital or DTS is
decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not
output normally depending on a source. In that case, press the
EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key to turn effect
sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with Dolby
Digital or DTS.
G
If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is
pressed to turn effect sounds off, some information is shown
on the display panel depending on the type of the current
digital input signals. When Dolby Digital is decoded, for
example, the sampling frequency and channel formation of
the decoded signal is shown on the display panel.

FEATURE
This is a large fan-shaped concert hall in Munich which has approximately
2500 seats. Almost the whole interior is made of wood. There is relatively
little reflection from the right and left walls, and sounds spread finely and
beautifully.
A classic shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 1700 seats. Pillars
and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections. Those
reflections and the reflections from all directions of the hall produce a very
full, rich sound.
This is a large 2600-seat concert hall in the United States which features a
fairly traditional European design. The interior is relatively simple,
suggesting an American taste. Sound of the middle and high frequencies
are richly and beautifully reproduced.
A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections
from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. You will experience
the sound field with a great deal of presence sitting at about the center
position near the stage.
This sound field is also effective for karaoke. This is because you feel as if
you are standing on a real stage.
Recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high pointed dome
and columns along the sides. This interior produces very long reverberations.
This program features a sound field created by the refectory (dining hall) of
the monastery, a beautiful medieval Gothic structure located in Royaumont on
the outskirts of Paris. The dome-like spaces in the ceiling formed by the
supporting pillars cause reverberations to echo and create a beautiful,
lingering tone.

This is the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a famous New
York Jazz club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a
sound field offering real and vibrant sound.
A jazz club in New York. It is in a basement and has a relatively spacious
floor area. The reflection pattern is similar to that of a small hall.
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program
was recorded at LAs hottest rock club.
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect
sounds, and extraordinarily spacious feel of a large arena theater.
Recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very
lively city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also
characterized by a high-energy, immediate sound.
This is a sound field suitable for background music at parties where you
can hear the sound directly from the rear as well, thus realizing music
enjoyment over a wide area.
This program gives you the long delays and extraordinarily spacious feel
of an outdoor stadium in Los Angeles that is no less than 300 meters (990
feet) in diameter.
An outdoor stadium with the typical bowl-shaped seating arrangement.

Provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining
excessive reverberation.
For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you
feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is
relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of
the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an
opera.
Produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that you are in the
midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert.
The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound
field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the
image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded.
This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.).
Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front
presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The
use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a
pleasant mix of conversations and picture.
Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the
rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall.
With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as
the news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo
broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center
position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the
surround side, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly
restrained.

FEATURE
Creates the extremely wide sound field of a movie
theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in
detail, giving both the video and the sound field
incredible reality. Any kind of video sources encoded
with Dolby Surround or DTS (especially large-scale
movie productions) are ideal for use with this program.
Clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest
sound design of science fiction films, thus creating a
broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence.
You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space
sound field that includes Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital
and DTS-encoded software employing the most
advanced techniques.
Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the
newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be
similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the
reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as
much as possible. The data of the sound field of an
opera house are used for the front presence side, so the
three dimensional feeling of the sound field is
emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the
screen. By using the data of the sound field of a concert
hall on the rear surround side, powerful reverberations
are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure
movies, etc. with much presence.
This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track
film, and characterized by a soft and extensive sound
field. The front presence side of the sound field is
relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and
toward the screen, restraining echo effect of
conversations without losing clarity. For the surround
side, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully
in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

FEATURE
The built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, the Dolby
Digital decoder or the DTS decoder precisely reproduces
sounds and sound effects of a source encoded with Dolby
Surround or DTS. The realization of a highly efficient
decoding process improves crosstalk and channel
separation and makes sound positioning smoother and
more precise.
Ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of
the newest film theater. The digital sound field processing
and the Dolby Surround decoding or the DTS decoding
are precisely performed without altering the originally
designed sound orientation. The surround effects
produced by this sound field fold the viewer naturally from
the rear to the left and right and toward the screen.

G
This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is
decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded
with Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.
Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect)
channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other
channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio
of LFE signals to other signals can be adjusted. (Refer to page 5

ADVANCED FEATURES
G
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
G
This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is
decoded.
Dynamic range is the difference between the maximum level
and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie
originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide
dynamic range.
Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into
a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged.
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not
always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of
your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase
the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in
a level suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts of
source sound cannot be heard well because they will be lost
among noises in your environment.
Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an
original sound tracks dynamic range for a home audio format
by compressing the data of sound.
MAX: In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital
is reproduced in the original sound tracks wide
dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds
like a movie theater.
Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can
listen to a source in a high output level in a room
specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital
is reproduced in the compressed dynamic range of
the source suitable for low level listening.
MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than
in the STD position. Selecting this position will be
effective when you must listen to a source in an
extremely low level.
* In this position, it may happen that sound is output
faintly or not output normally depending on a
source. In that case, select the MAX or STD
position.

Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main
channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel).
The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated.
In your audio system, the distance from the center speaker to
your listening position may be shorter than the distance from
the left or right main speaker to your listening position. In that
case, sounds from the left main, center and right main
speakers can reach your listening position at the same time by
delaying the sound from the center speaker.

What is a sound field?
In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, we
need to first understand what a sound field really is.
What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are
the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition
to making the sound live, these reflections enable us to tell
where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the
room in which we are sitting. We can even tell whether it is
highly reflective with steel and glass surfaces, or more
absorbent with wood panels, carpeting and curtains.
The elements of a sound field
In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears from the players instrument, there are two
distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the
sound field:
(1) Early Reflections.
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly
(50 ms 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting
from one surface onlyfor example, from the ceiling or a
wall. These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown
in the diagram on page 64 for any particular environment,
and provide vital information to our ears. Early reflections
actually add clarity to the direct sound.
(2) Reverberations.
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surfacewalls, ceiling, the back of the roomso
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic afterglow. They are non-directional, and lessen the
clarity of the direct sound.
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberation
taken together help us to determine the subjective size and
shape of the room, and it is this information that the DSP
reproduces in order to create sound fields.
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would
be able to create your own listening environment. The
acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert
hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at all. This ability
to create sound fields at will is exactly what Yamaha has done
with the DSP.
DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine
apparent room size, reverberation time, distance from you to
the performer, etc. In each program, these parameters are
preset with values precisely calculated by Yamaha to create
the sound field unique for the program. It is recommended to
use DSP programs without changing values of parameters,
however, this unit also allows you to create your own sound
fields. Starting with one of the built-in programs, you can adjust
those parameters. Even if the power cord of this unit is
disconnected from the AC outlet, your custom sound fields will
remain in the DSPs memory for about two weeks. The
following page details how to make your own sound fields.
In addition to the TYPE parameter which selects the
subprograms within each DSP program (for example, Europe
Hall A, and Europe Hall B for the program 1, CONCERT
HALL 1), each program also has a set of parameters that
allow you to change the characteristics of the acoustic
environment to precisely create the effect you want. These
parameters correspond to the many natural acoustic factors
that create the sound field you experience in an actual concert
hall or other listening environment. The size of the room, for
example, affects the length of time between the early
reflectionsthat is, the first few widely spaced reflections you
hear after the direct sound. The ROOM SIZE parameter
provided in many of the DSP programs alters the timing
between these reflections, thus changing the shape of the
room you hear. In addition to room size, the shape of the
room and the characteristics of its surfaces have a significant
effect on the final sound. Surfaces that absorb sound, for
example, cause the reflections and reverberations to die out
quicker, while highly reflective surfaces allow the reflections to
carry on for a longer period of time. The DSP parameters allow
you to control these and many other factors that contribute to
your personal sound field, allowing you to essentially
redesign the concert halls, theaters, etc. provided to create
custom-tailored listening environments that ideally match your
mood and music.
Refer to Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters on
pages 64 to 66 for a description of what each parameter does,
how it effects the sound, and its control range.

Descriptions of the digital sound field parameters
Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.
G
ROOM SIZE
How it Affects the Sound:
Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger
the value, the larger the simulated room will sound.
What it Does:
Adjusts the timing between the early reflections. Early
reflections are the first group of reflections you hear before
the subsequent, dense reverberation begins.
Control Range:
0.1 2.0
Standard setting is 1.0.
Changing this parameter from 1 to 2 increases the apparent
volume of the room eight times (length, width, and height all
doubled).
P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size)
Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound
field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between
reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound
source.
S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)
Adjusts the apparent space size of the rear surround sound field.
The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field
becomes.
G
INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)
Changes the apparent distance from the source sound.
Since the distance between a sound source and a reflective
surface determines the delay between the direct sound and
the first reflection, this parameter changes the location of the
sound source within the acoustic environment.
What it Does:
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first
reflection heard by the listener.
Control Range:
1 99 milliseconds
For a small living room this parameter would be set for a small
value. Large values for a big room. Larger values produce an
echo effect.
P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)
Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection
on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the
later the first reflection begins.
Control Range:
1 99 milliseconds
S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)
on the rear surround side of the sound field. The larger the value,
the later the first reflection begins.

LIVENESS
This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls
in the hall.
The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity
(decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent
wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective
surfaces. A room with highly reflective surfaces in which the
early reflections decay slowly is termed live, while a room
with absorbent characteristics in which the reflections decay
rapidly is termed dead. The LIVENESS parameter lets you
adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the liveness
of the room.
What it Does:
Changes the rate at which the early reflections decay.
Control Range:
0 10.
LIVENESS (Presence Liveness)
Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence
sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front
presence sound field becomes.
S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)
Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the rear surround
sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the rear
surround sound field becomes.
G
REV. TIME (Reverberation Time)
The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily
on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This
parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the
acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.
What it Does:
Adjusts the amount of time it takes for the level of the dense,
subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (1 kHz).
Control Range:
1.0 5.0 seconds.
The reverb time in a small-to-medium size hall would be
between 1 and 2, and in a large hall it is normally between 2
and 3.

REMOTE CONTROLLER
This is a learning remote controller. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to learn control
functions from other remote controllers. This unit can be used in place of other remote controllers by learning their functions. It will
be much convenient for you to operate various audio and video components.
Some of the learning-capable keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and
other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired.
* See page 76 for the learning method.
* See page 78 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions).
Note
If the memory capacity of the remote controller becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are
not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store Yamaha codes only into this remote controller, up to about 50 functions
can be stored. Therefore, we recommend that only required functions be stored.
Keys which can have three functions (1, 2, 3, 4)
In the Learning-capable keys, the keys numbered 14in the
illustration on the left can have three functions. This is because they
have three memory areas (A, B and C). (One function per area.)
You can store new functions into the area B and C, and use three
functions on a key by switching the memory areas with the A/B/C
switch. (Area A cannot learn a new function.)
To use these keys:
1. Before using a key, select area A, B or C of the key on which the
function you want to use is stored by using the A/B/C switch.
2. Press the key.
The default settings of these keys are as follows.

Notes
Area A cannot learn a new function. To store a new function,
store it onto area B or C.
If a key which has a preset function learns a new function,
the preset function will not work but is not deleted. When the
learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored.
(For information on clearing a learned function, refer to page
78.)
Empty keys (1, 2)
These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from
another remote controller.
For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of
your TVs power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your
VCRs power switch.
About the marks on the remote controller
An input selector key and other control keys which have the
same mark will work for the same input source.
These marks are also helpful for storing new functions.
Examples)
Area B of keys 1is suitable for storing functions to control
your VCR.
Area B of keys 3is suitable for storing functions to control
your TV/BS tuner.
About the lighting of keys
When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3
seconds.
When an input selector key in the group of selected memory
area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of a key group (13)
which is the same as the mark of the selected input selector
key lights up for about 3 seconds.
Example)
Conversely, when a key of the group 13is pressed, its
mark and the input selector key with the same mark in the
group of the selected memory area light up for about 3
seconds.
This feature may be helpful for you if you store functions for
controlling an input source to a group of keys whose mark
lights up when the corresponding input selector key is pressed.

Notes
If an OPERATION CONTROL key is substituted for a key
which has no function (empty), then a command will not be
carried out.
Depending on your plan, store functions from other remote
controllers into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to page
76 for the learning method.)
While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate
another unit by using the remote controller (for example, if
you want to rewind a videotape while listening to a CD), you
should open the cover of the remote controller and use the
A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys.
(If you press an input selector key with the cover closed to
change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to
the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently
playing CD source is canceled.)
About the lighting of keys
When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and
only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which
substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or
learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you will
know what keys are available at a glance.
Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed,
all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the
currently selected input selector key light up.

Macro operations (Cover is closed)
The Macro feature makes it possible to operate a series of
functions by pressing just one key. For example, when you want
to play a CD, normally you would turn on the equipment, select
the CD input, and press the play key to start playback. Using the
Macro feature you can operate all those functions by simply
pressing the CD macro key. The preset macro keys (the input
selector keys and SYSTEM POWER ON/STANDBY keys with an
orange mark next to them) are preset with macro programs.
If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a
macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You
can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to
page 77 for making a new macro.)
Macros can be used only when the cover is closed and the
MACRO switch is set to SLOW or QUICK. (If OFF is
selected, no macro will function even if the cover is closed.)
Setting the MACRO switch
OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the
cover of the remote controller is closed.
QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each
command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals.
SLOW: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each
command is transmitted at 3 second intervals.

Function of the key carried out when a macro key is pressed

The Macro feature allows you to operate several remote control functions in a programmed order by pressing one macro key.
(Also, refer to the table on page 70.)
Notes
A key in which no function is stored will carry out no
command.
If it occurs that this unit will not receive the second command
because the internal operation of the first command takes a
long time, set the MACRO switch to the SLOW position.
Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the
command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit
finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take
notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the
SLOW position.
Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote
controller directed at the main units remote control sensor
until the remote controller finishes transmitting all command
signals of the macro key.
You can also use the OPERATION CONTROL keys while
using the macro functions.

TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode
prior to step 4 is restored. Restart from step 4.
* If memory capacity is full, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator
flashes rapidly to show you that learning is impossible, and
then the mode before you began learning operations is
restored.
6 Repeat steps 35 to store more functions.
7 When you finish the learning operation, press the
LEARN button.
Notes
G
Newly learned functions will replace previously learned
functions.
G
If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to
be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash
rapidly. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied
with functions from other remote controllers, no further
learning is possible.
G
If you close the cover while learning, and then about 5
seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes
rapidly and the mode before beginning learning operations
is restored. Restart from step 2. However, if you open the
cover within 5 seconds, the mode before closing the cover is
restored.
G
There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the
signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote
controller, this remote controller will not be able to learn its
signals.
G
When you press the LEARN, MACRO or CLEAR button, or
the RESET button inside of the battery compartment by
using a sharp-pointed thing, be careful not to damage the
button. If you will use a mechanical pencil, make sure that

Methods of learning and clearing functions
Making a new macro
A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of the factory preset functions. (See page 74 to know what
keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of
other keys.
Note
If you store a continuous function such as lowering the volume level, it may not work well when carried out as a part of macro.

* If a key other than a preset macro key is pressed, the
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the
current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.
3 Press a key whose function you want to store as the first
function of the new macro.
* If a key whose function cannot be stored as a command of
macro is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes
rapidly and the current mode is canceled. Repeat this step.
* If about 30 seconds pass before a key is pressed, the

from step 1.
4 Repeat step 3 to store the second, the third and more
functions. You can store up to seven key functions in
series as a macro.
* If the seventh key function has been learned, the
before you began learning operations is restored. (This
shows that the key has completed learning a series of
functions as a macro.) You do not have to follow the next
step.
5 When you finish learning, press the MACRO button.
Notes
If, for example, you store a function whose operation takes a
long time as the first command, add a command which has
no function between the first command and the second
command, or repeat the second command again.
If you program the power on/off switching function of TV,
VCR, etc. as a part of a macro sequence, note that it
switches the current mode to the other (on to off, or off
to on).
For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of
TV, VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off even
though you may not want it to do so.

CUSTOM INSTALLATION GUIDE
You can make up a dual-room audio/video system with this unit. In this system, you can make this unit send audio and video
signals to the main rooms equipment (speakers and TV monitor) and the second rooms equipment (amplifier and TV monitor)
respectively. For example, you can enjoy listening to a CD source in the main room while another person is enjoying watching an
LD source in the second room.
By using the ZONE 2 remote controller in the second room, you can enjoy a source which is different from the one being selected in
the main room.
Connections
The following optional products are required to use the dual-
room function.
1An infrared emitter in the main room
This emitter emits the infrared signals transmitted by the
ZONE 2 remote controller in the second room to the other
components in the main room (for example, CD player or
LD player).
2An amplifier, TV monitor and speakers for the second room
3An infrared signal receiver for the second room
(*1): Some Yamaha models can be connected to this units
REMOTE CONTROL OUT terminals. If you connect these
units in series, the use of an infrared emitter may not be
necessary.
Note
Since there are so many ways to connect and use this unit in a
dual-room system, we recommend that you consult with a
custom installation specialist for connections which will best
meet your requirements.

Problem
A loud hissing noise is heard when you
play back a source encoded with DTS.
A percussive noise is heard when you
begin playing back a source encoded with
DTS.
No sound is heard when you play back a
source encoded with DTS, even though the
AUTO or DTS input mode is selected
on this unit.
No sound is heard when you play back an
MD onto which you have recorded a

source (CD etc.) even though the currently
selected input mode is AUTO.
Problem
FM stereo reception is noisy.
There is distortion and clear reception
cannot be obtained even with a good
FM antenna.
A desired station cannot be tuned in
with the automatic tuning method.
Previously preset stations can no
longer be tuned in.
A desired station cannot be tuned in
with the automatic tuning method.
There are continuous crackling and
hissing noises.
There are buzzing and whining noises
(especially in the evening).
Cause
The player which plays back the source is
not connected to a digital audio signal input
terminal of this unit.
The ANALOG input mode is selected on
this unit.
If the AUTO input mode is selected,
depending on some sources, there may be a
case that a noise is heard while this unit is
identifying the format of input signal.
The DTS decoder built into this unit does not
function because the player has a digital
volume control and it is set at a position
other than maximum, neutral or
ineffective.
A source encoded with DTS cannot be
recorded onto an MD.
Depending on a DAT deck, a source
encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto
a DAT.
In the AUTO mode, DTS-decoding mode
cannot be changed to the normal (PCM)
digital signal input mode automatically.
Cause
Because of the characteristics of FM stereo
broadcasts, this is limited to cases where
the transmitter is too far away or the
antenna input is poor.
There is multipath interference.
The station is too weak.
This unit has been unplugged for a long
period.
Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Noises result from lightning, fluorescent
lamps, motors, thermostats and other
electrical equipment.
A television set is being used nearby.
What to Do
The player must be connected to a digital
audio signal input terminal of this unit besides
analog audio signal terminal connections.
Select a proper input mode on this unit to turn
on the DTS decoder built into this unit.
Set the input mode of the currently selected
input source to DTS.
Set the players digital volume control at the
maximum, neutral or ineffective position.
Press the INPUT MODE button on the front
panel or the input selector button (for the
currently selected source) on the remote
controller so that PCM appears on the
display.
What to Do
Check the antenna connections.
Try using a high quality directional FM
antenna.
Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual
tuning mode.
Adjust antenna placement to eliminate
multipath interference.
Use the manual tuning method.
Use a high quality directional FM antenna.
Repeat the presetting procedure.
Tighten the AM loop antenna connections
and rotate it for best reception.
Use the manual tuning method.
Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire.
This will help somewhat but it is difficult to
eliminate all the noises.
Relocate this unit away from the TV.

Tuner
Notes
It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back a source must be
connected to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a
D-to-A converter is used without using a DTS decoder, when you play back a source, only a loud hiss noise will be heard.
If you make a search (or skip etc.) operation while playing back a source encoded with DTS, the dts indicator goes out from the
display. This is because this unit automatically changes the DTS-decoding mode to the standard (PCM) digital signal input mode
to prevent a noise from being output.
A source encoded with DTS cannot be recorded onto analog audio and video tapes, and also, an analog tape recorded with a
source encoded with DTS cannot be played back.
The same result is obtained for MDs and DATs (depending on a DAT deck used for recording and/or playback).

Although you make the operation for
recalling a preset station, the station
cannot be tuned in, or a station other than
the preset one is tuned in.
Some memory of the preset stations was

after storing stations.
Repeat storing stations by following the
preset tuning procedure.
