PROFILE OF THIS UNITYou are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound FieldProcessor (DSP) built into this unit takes advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing tobring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system,and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on.In addition, you get incredible realism from sources encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic SurroundDecoder.Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.

Digital Sound Field Processing

What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advancedsound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close tothe sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll stillnotice something missing: the acoustic environment of the liveconcert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of thesonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall hasmade it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this samesound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound ofa live concert.

Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticatedmeasuring equipment, have even made it possible to capturethe acoustics of a variety of venues such as an actual concerthall, theater, etc. to allow you to accurately recreate one ofseveral actual live performance environments, all in your ownhome.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similarto professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movietheaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, youcan experience the dramatic realism and impact of DolbySurround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby ProLogic employs a four channel five speaker system. The ProLogic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels:the left and right main channels, the center channel (used fordialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for soundeffects, background noise, and other ambient noises). Thecenter channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-idealpositions to hear the dialog originating from the action on thescreen while experiencing good stereo imaging. Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recordedvideo tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. Whenyou play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit,the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal anddistributes the surround-sound effects.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digitalsignal processing system. This system improves the stability ofsound at each channel and minimizes crosstalk betweenchannels, so that positioning of sounds around the room ismore accurate compared with conventional analog signalprocessing systems.In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balancecontrol. This always assures you the best performance withoutmanual adjustment.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories LicensingCorporation. “Dolby”, the double-D symbol and “Pro Logic” aretrademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround + DSP

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a largemovie theater, because movie sounds are originally designedto be reproduced in a large movie theater using manyspeakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar tothat of a movie theater in your listening room, because theroom size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers,etc. of your listening room is much different from those of amovie theater.Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you withnearly the same sound experience as that of a large movietheater in your listening room by compensating for lack ofpresence and dynamics in your listening room with its originaldigital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP is usedon the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC ENHANCED”.

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these programs arecreated by the combination of Dolby Pro Logic and YAMAHADSP technology.

SPEAKER SETUPSPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use withthis unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-SpeakerConfiguration” shown below.)The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from yourpresent stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the centersounds (dialog etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the mainspeakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling toaccept the maximum output of this unit.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well asthe rear speakers. If the program DOLBY PRO LOGIC orDOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, conversationswill be output from the center speaker and the ambience will beexcellent.• Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE”

position. (For details, refer to page 21.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If theprogram DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGICENHANCED is selected, the center sound is output from theleft and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect ofother programs can be the same as that of the 5-speakerconfiguration.• Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM”

position. (For details, refer to page 21.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: main speakers (your normalstereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.

Main: In normal position. (The position of your presentstereo speaker system.)

Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.

Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoidinterference with TV sets, use a magnetically shieldedspeaker.)

● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram.● 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 experiencepoor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Connecting the AM loop antenna

* 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.

GND terminalFor maximum safety and minimum interference, connect theGND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground isa metal stake driven into moist earth.

Notes● When connecting the indoor

FM antenna, insert itsconnector into the FM ANTterminal firmly.

● If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locationstroubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable ispreferable.

To recall a preset stationSimply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a presetstation” on page 27.* A recalled station is shown by the frequency or station name

on the display.

Notes● You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM

station manually by simply following the procedure of thesection “To store stations” on page 27.

● The automatic preset tuning search will be performedthrough all RDS network frequencies until stations arestored up to E8. If the number of received stations is notenough to be stored up to E8, the search is finishedautomatically after searching all frequencies.

● With this function, only RDS stations with sufficient signalstrength are stored automatically. If the station you want toprogram is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monauralmanually and program it by following the procedure of thesection “To store stations” on page 27.* There may be a case that this function cannot receive a

station which could be received by the automatic tuningmethod. This is because this function receives a largevolume of PI (Program Identification) data along with thestation.

AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNINGYou can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function for RDS stations only. By this function, this unit performs automatictuning and stores RDS stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as inthe manual preset tuning method on page 27.* Refer to page 30–34 for details on RDS stations.

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stationsusing this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.RDS data contains various information, such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT(Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), etc.RDS function is carried out among the network stations.* This unit utilizes PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT and EON to receive RDS broadcast stations.

Displaying RDS data

In areas where RDS broadcasts cannot be received, the RDS broadcast functions do not operate. (The procedures from page 30 topage 34 are not necessary.)

This unit can be turned into the following four modes to displayRDS data.

PS (Program Service name) mode:Displays the name of the RDS station now being receivedinstead of the frequency.

PTY (Program Type) mode:Displays the type of the program on the RDS station now beingreceived. There are 15 program types to classify RDSstations. Refer to the next page for details.

RT (Radio Text) mode:Displays information about the program (such as title of thesong, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station now beingreceived.

CT (Clock Time) mode:Displays current time. This signal comes from the RDS stationnow being received.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks)mode:Automatically receives a program of the designated programtype when its broadcast starts, in place of the program nowbeing received. When the broadcast of the called programends, the previously received program (or another program onthe same station) is recalled.

Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field Programs

The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most ofthese are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields was recorded at actuallocations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.NoteThe channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you arelistening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

PROGRAM FEATURE

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.PRO LOGIC The application of a sophisticated digital signal processing system reduces crosstalk and directs or steers

the sound source more smoothly and precisely, as compared to conventional types.

This program is also used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.

PRO LOGICEnhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker

ENHANCEDsystems of a 35 mm movie theater. This effect creates a wide surround sound field, and expands thesound stage with an improved presence image. This program is used for musical based movies, as well asdrama and comedy based movies.

CONCERT VIDEOThis program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, theorchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall.

MONO MOVIE

This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly monosetting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending animmediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono movies, newsbroadcasts and dialog.

STADIUM This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily spacious feel of a large stadium.

DISCO This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. Thesound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.

ROCK CONCERT This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively sound field.

CONCERT HALLIn this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an expansive largehall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expandand change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in yourlistening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, dependon what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded withDolby Surround. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSPprogram including a combined operation of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround.

36

1 Follow steps 1 – 6 shown in “BASIC OPERATIONS” onpage 23.

2 Select the desired program that is suitable for thesource.

a)

Turn the DSP on so that aprogram name lights up onthe display.

b)

Select a desired programconfirming it on the display.

The selected program name is shown on the display.

3 If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level ofeach speaker. (For details, refer to the correspondingdescriptions on page 37 and 38.)

Notes● Program selection can be made to individual input sources.

Once you select a program, it is linked with the input sourceselected at that time. So, when you select the input sourcenext time, the same program is automatically called.

● If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT button.The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo withoutsurround sound effect.

● When CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, DISCO,STADIUM, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL isselected, no sound is heard from the center speaker.

● When a monaural sound source is played with DOLBY PROLOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED, no sound isheard from the main speakers and the rear speakers.Sound is heard only from the center speaker. However, ifthe center channel mode is in PHANTOM, the mainspeakers output the sound of the center channel.

● When this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder is used,if the main-source sound is considerably altered byoveradjustment of the BASS or TREBLE control, therelationship between the center and rear channels mayproduce an unnatural effect.

● To select a DSP program on the remote control transmitter,first turn the DSP on so that a program name lights up onthe display by pressing the EFFECT key. Next, select adesired DSP program by pressing the or side ofPROGRAM key.

* Pressing the PROLOGIC or ENHANCED key turnsthe DSP on and selects the corresponding programdirectly.
