lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it
might cause the remote control unit to work incorrectly. In this
case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.
FEATURES
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. The
operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3)
decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP
program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and
the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.
Digital Sound Field Processing

What is it that makes live music so good? Todays advanced
sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the
sound of a live performance, but chances are youll 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 youll feel all the sound of a live
concert. Whats more, 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.
English
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 10 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.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar

to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie
theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can
experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround
movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a
four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system
divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main
channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear
surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background
noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows
listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog
originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good
stereo imaging. Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of
pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround
on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the
signal and distributes the surround-sound effects.
The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a

totally new sound experiences.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital

signal processing system. This system improves the stability of
sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that
positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared
with conventional analog signal processing systems.
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.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance

control. This always assures you the best performance without
manual adjustment.
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.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of multi-channel digital

audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format
developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of 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 channel is
counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect
of Dolby Digital (AC-3) become the most suitable for your audio
system and the listening conditions.
Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large
movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be
reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is
difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie
theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of
inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is
much different from those of a movie theater.
English
Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from

Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-3) will
also be applied to DBS, CATV, DVD 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.
Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with

nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater
in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and
dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround sound field.
CINEMA DSP 7ch
Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so

that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.
Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to
either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER
terminals to maximize system performance.
Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN
SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to
maximize system performance.
The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP logo indicates those programs

are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA
DSP technology.
Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Dolby Digital (AC-3) + 3 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 are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo
theater.
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the
independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital (AC3)-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) sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you
are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater.
This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available when the sound field program No.

2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is
analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2channels.
This combination is available when the sound field program No.

SPEAKER SETUP
Setting Up Your Speaker System
Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field
quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using two extra
pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center
speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a sevenspeaker 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.
When playing back a source with the DSP programs No. 1

through No. 4, or when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded with
any DSP program used, if the source contains center-channel
signals, 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 the LFE (low frequency effect)
sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience
of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which
has its own built-in power amplifier.

6 Speaker System
7 Speaker System
Simplest system.
Good for Audio/Video sources.
Good for sound fields from 2channel stereo sources.
This is the recommended speaker

system, providing the best sound
effects.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound

by only adding two additional speaker
units at the rear.
By the use of center speaker, center

sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are
precisely localized.
When a normal stereo source is

played back with the sound field
programs No. 5 through No. 10, a
sound effect matching that of a 7speaker system can be obtained. The
addition of front left and right effect
speakers produces a more effective
sound field.
When a normal stereo source is

played back with the sound field
programs No. 5 through No. 10, using
both sets of effect speakers (front and
rear), reproduces the most effective
sound field. When using the sound
field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or
when using any program with the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the
center speaker provides precise center
localization.

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 and 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 a few feet behind and
above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.
Main speaker
Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.

They should be nearly six feet up from the floor.
Subwoofer
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.

REAR PANEL SWITCH AND CONTROL

SETTINGS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CONNECTIONS
There are several switches and controls on the rear panel that
youll have to check before operating your system, and its a good
idea to do it before you connect cables. Locate the MAIN LEVEL
slide switch (G) and FRONT MIX slide switch (F). Make sure the
MAIN LEVEL switch is set to 0 dB and the FRONT MIX switch is
set to OFF for 7 or 6 speaker driving.
Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels
correctly connected. That means that jacks marked L on this unit
must be connected to jacks marked L on other units. Likewise
with the R jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the
red plug for the R jacks and the white plug for the L jacks.
In a 5 or 4 speaker system, set the FRONT MIX switch to ON.
For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA

type pin plug cables with the exception described later.
For General model only, set the NTSC/PAL switch (E) to the
position corresponding to the standard which your video
equipment employs and set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (2) to
the position suitable for the frequency spacing in your area.
For the setting of IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch (N), see
page 34.
For the setting of the center speaker switch (7), see page 32.
22
With speaker connections you must also be sure that the

polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect
the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the
speaker, and connect the minus () terminal of the amplifier to the
minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a
speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or
a different color.

To make a connection between optical digital audio signal

jacks, remove the cover from each jack, 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) jack of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with
the same named analog audio signal jacks of this unit, because
digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected
to this unit, and digital signal also will not be output from the

NOTE: All digital audio signal input jacks are applicable to the
sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital

signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC3 RF signal output jack to this units OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital
signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase).
First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to
the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next,
connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF
demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack
of this unit.
This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded
with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit.
NOTES
If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play
a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the
signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case,
switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely.
However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1,
you do not have to switch it off.
When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must
switch off the power to the RF demodulator.

NOTES
The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main
unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an
outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the

best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbonshaped twin-lead 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 feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial
cables. 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 that
type of cable.
300-ohm feeder cable
Notes for FM antenna installation

To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far
from heavy traffic as possible.
Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do
not bundle or roll up excess cable.
The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from
reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.
English
Optional outdoor FM antenna
Optional outdoor AM antenna

In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it
may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a
metal stake driven into moist earth.
Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a

75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.

CONNECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS

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, + and
markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will
be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires
touch each other or any other metal part as this could damage this
unit and/or speakers.
NOTE: Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative ()

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FUNCTIONS

1. CENTER DELAY (Adjusting the delay of center
sounds (dialog etc.))
Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step)
Preset value: 0 ms
*
This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3)

is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) contain center-channel signals.
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.
This is for making sounds from the left main, center and right
main speakers reach your listening position at the same time by
delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the
center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the
distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening
position.
2. DYNAMIC RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range)

Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
*
44
This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3)

is decoded.
MAX: 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 (AC-3) technology can bring the original
sound track into a home audio format with this wide
dynamic range unchanged.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) 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):
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 possible
to increase the sound output level as high as a movie
theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your
room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard
as well because they will be lost among noises in your
environment.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to
reduce an original sound tracks dynamic range for a home
audio format by compressing the data.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) 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 extremely low level.
Control range: 20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step)

Preset value: 0 dB
*
This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is

decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) contain LFE signals.
Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect)

channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at other
channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE
signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted. (See page 6
for details about the LFE channel.)

To play back a source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, set
the input mode to AUTO.
When you want to enjoy a source which has normal 2-channel

signals with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program, select the
ANALOG mode.
In the AUTO mode, there may be a case depending on some LD

players or DVD players that when you make a search on a source
encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) during the play and then
the play is restored, sound output is interrupted for a moment
because the digital input signal is selected again.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

The following list gives brief descriptions of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these
are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for them was recorded at the locations described using
sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.
* The channel level balance between the left rear speaker and the right rear speaker may vary depending on the sound field you are
listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

If the memory capacity of the remote control unit becomes full, no
further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are
not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store only
Yamaha codes into this remote control unit, up to about 50
functions can be stored. Store new functions to the learnablecapable keys which are useful for you.

About the lighting of keys
These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from
another remote control unit.
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.
When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3

seconds.
NOTE
If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the
preset function will not be deleted, but disabled. When the learned
function is cleared, the preset function is restored. (For information
on clearing a learned function, refer to pages 76 to 77.)
When an input selector key in the group of selected memory

area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of key group (13) which
is the same as the mark of the selected input selector key lights up
for about 3 seconds.

functions.
Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will
carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control
unit sequentially. (To know what key functions are sequentially
carried out by pressing each preset macro key, see the next
page.)
Macros can be used only when the lid is closed and the
MACRO switch is set to SLOW or QUICK. (If OFF is
selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.)

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, or
add no function or repeat the same command between the first
command and the next command.
If you will program the power on/off switching function of TV,
VCR, etc. as 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.
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 control
unit directed at the main units remote control sensor until the
remote control unit finishes transmitting all command signals of
the macro key.
You can use the OPERATION CONTROL keys also while using
the macro functions.
