For best results, place the speakers as illustrated below.

More than 30 Clll (12 in)
The illustrations show the standard speaker setting recommended
by the ITU-R (see page 93). You can use it to el_ioy CINEMA
DSP, umlti-channel audio sources, and THX.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance fi'om
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical
to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,
however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front
fiace of the center speaker with the front face of your video
monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The sun'ound speakers are used for effect and sun'ound
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, _acing slightly inwards, about 1.8 an (6 ft) above
the floor.
Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)
The surronnd back speakers supplement the sun'ound
speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back
transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the
listening position and at the same height as the surround
speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 can (12 in)
apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width
as the front speakers.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer_ such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass l}equencies l}om any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low-
l}equency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because low bass sounds are not highly
directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.
Presence speakers (PR and PL)
Presence speakers supplement the sonnd from the front
speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA
DSP (see page 46). These effects include sounds that
fihmnakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the
screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place
these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m
(1 - 3 ft) outside the front speakers, _acing slightly
inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.
Surround back and presence speakers do not output sound
simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers in
SOUND MENU (see page 60).

• Di-pole speaker layout
Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used
for THX sun'ound. If you choose di-pole speakers, please
place the surround and sun'ound back speakers according
to the speaker layout below.

++l'--_y+,_=,+l,.-b-ilq "I
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),
'%" (red) and .... (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the
polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set
this unit's speaker impedance setting to 6
ohms before using (see page 25).
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the
power of this unit is off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or
do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This
could damage this unit an_or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with the monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the '%" (red)
terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the .... (black) terminals.
1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together
to prevent short circuits.
3 Loosen the knob.

This receiver employs YAMAHA Parametric Room
Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you
avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and
achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied
optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound
your speakers produce in your actual listening
environment.
The basic setup feature (page 31) is useful if you want to set up
your system quickly and with minimal effort. However. we
reconmlend that you come back and perform auto setup later to
take advantage of YPAO and el_ioy even higher fidelity.
• Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be
output during the auto setup procedure.
• If auto setup stops and error messages appear on the screen,
i\_llow the troubleshooting on page 29.
YPAO perfomls the following checks and makes
appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible
sound from your system.
WIRING
Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of
each speaker.
DISTANCE
Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening
position and adjusts the tinting of each channel.
SIZE
Checks the speaker's frequency response and sets the
appropriate low freqnency crossover for each channel.
EQUALIZING
Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel's parametric
equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and
create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly
important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers
for some channels or have a room with unique sonic
characteristics.
YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three
parameters (fi'equency, level and Q factor) for each of the
seven bands in its parametric equalizer to provide highly
precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.
LEVEL
Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each
speaker.
1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone
to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front
panel.
• After you have completed the auto setup proce&tre, be
sure to discolmect the optimizer microphone.
• The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.
Keep it away from direct sunlight.
Do not place it on top of this trait.
Place the optimizer microphone on a flat
level surface with the omni-directional
microphone head upward, at your normal
listening position.
If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer
mic at the same height as your ears would be when
you are seated in your listening position.

• \_len this unit is set in the standby mode, you calmot record
between other components co_mected to this unit.
• The setting of TONE CONTROL VOLUME. SPEAKER
LEVEL (page 57) and progranls does not affect recorded
material.
• A source colmected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit
cannot be recorded.
• S-video and composite video signals pass independently
through this tmit's video circuits. Therefore, when recording or
dubbing video signals, if your video source component is
connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite
video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a
composite video) signal to your VCR.
• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not
ontput to the analog AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks for recording.
Likewise. analog signals input to the AUDIO IN (L/R)j acks are
not output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Thereibre. if your
source component is connected to provide only digital (or
analog) signals, yon can only record digital (or analog) signals.
• A given input source is not output on the same RE(; OUT
channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not
output on VCR 1 OUT.)
• Check the cop xTight laws in your count15 to record from
records. CDs, radio, etc. Recording of cop3Tighted material may
infringe copyright laws.
If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the
picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.
• Special considerations when recording
DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to
digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise
being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to
record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,
the following considerations and adjustments need to be
lllade.
For DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player
is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation
instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will
be output fi'om the player.

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback fi'om
ahnost any sound source (stereo or multi-channel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field progrmns which you can use to enhance your playback experience.
Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous
concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.
g4;--
The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Sttrround sources. Set the inpnt mode to
AUTO (see page 40) to enable this trait to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.
• This unit's DSP somld field pro_ams are recreations of real-world acoustic em ironlnents made from precise measurements taken in
actual halls, etc. Thus yon may notice xariations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.
• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on yoar listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.
You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked "MULTI"
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked "2-CH" can be used with 2-channel
(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 features enable you to set this unit
to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3). You can control
this unit fi'om the second or third room using the supplied remote control.
Only analog signals are sent to the second and third rooms. Any source you want to listen to in the second or third
room must be connected using the analog (AUDIO LR) input jacks on this unit.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second and, or third room.
• An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infi'ared signals from the remote control in the second
and, or third room to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).
• An amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room.
• Since there are many possible ways to colmect and use this unit in a multi-room confi_lration, we reconmlend that you consult with
your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for the Zone 2/Zone 3 connections that best meet your requirements.
• Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the CONTROL OUT jack on this unit. If you own these products, you may not
need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six YAMAHA corn )onents cau be colmected as shown.

• Special considerations for DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to
send the DTS signal to the second/third room you will
only hear digital noise (that may damage your speakers).
Thus, the following considerations and adjustments need
to be made when playing DTS encoded discs.
For DVDs encoded with DTS
Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the
second/third room.
Use the disc menu to set the DVD player's mixed 2-
channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby
Digital soundtrack.
For CDs encoded in DTS
To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2
Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

A significant factor that 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.
• Elements of a sound field
In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears fi'om the player's instrument, there are
two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to
make up the sound field:
Early reflections
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms
100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting fi'om one
surface only for example, from the ceiling or a wall.
Early reflections help add clarity to the direct sound.
Reverberations
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface walls, ceiling, the back of the room so
numerous that they merge together to lbrm 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 digital sound field processor
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 digital sound field
processor.
You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset
parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial
settings, you can chane some of the parameters to better
suit the input source or our listening room.

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your
listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.
• DSP LEVEL
Function: This parameter adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range.
Description: Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect
level relative to the level of the direct sound.
Controlrange: 6 dB +3 dB
• INIT. DLY/P. INIT. DLY (Initial delay)
Function: This parmneter changes the apparent distance the sound source is fi'om the reflection fi_ce by adjusting
the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.
Description: The smaller the value, the closer the reflection l_ace seems to the sound source. The larger the value, the
farther it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set to a large value.

• ROOM SIZE/P. ROOM SIZE (Room size)
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the sun'ound sound field. The larger the value, the larger the
surround sound field becomes.
Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between
the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the
reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter fi'om
one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

• LIVENESS
Function: This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the
early reflections decay.
Description: The early reflections of a source sound decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall
surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces
is referred to as "dead", while a room with highly reflective surfaces is refen'ed to as "live". The
LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the "liveness" of the
room.

• REV.TIME (Reverberation time)
Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to
decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an
extremely wide range.
Description: The longer the reverberation time, the more "live" the listening room environment seems. The shorter
the reverberation time, the more "dead" the listening room environment seems.

• Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives
you completely independent multi-channel audio. It
provides 5 full-range audio channels; 3 front channels
(left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels.
An additional channel especially for bass effects, called
LFE (low fi'equency effect) is also provided giving the
system a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as a 0.1
channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround
speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and
surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby
Surround. The wide dynamic range (maximum to
minimum volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range
channels and the precise sound orientation generated
using digital sound processing provide listeners with a
previously unheard of excitement and realism.
• Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output
channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done by using
a matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from
the 2 in the original recording. For best results, Dolby
Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks
recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this
additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and
realistic moving sound especially with scenes that have
"flyover" and _'fly-around" effects.
• Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround
software. This new technology enables a 5-channel
playback with 2 fi'ont left and right channels, 1 center
channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of
only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology). Music and Game modes are also available
for 2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling 6.1 or
7.1 multi-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-
channel sources. There is a Music mode for music, a
Movie mode for movies and a Game mode for games.
• Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog
(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces
sound within a narrow fi'equency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as
well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.
• DTS 96/24
DTS 9624 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality
for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully
backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. _'96" refers
to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz
sampling rate). "24" refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/
24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-
motion video for music programs and motion picture
soundtraeks on DVD-video.
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can
enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial representation
of DTS digital surround in your home. This system
produces practically distortion-fi'ee 6-channel sound
(technically, left, right and center channels, 2 surround
channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a
total of 5.1-channels). This unit incorporates a DTS-ES
decoder that enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding
a surround back channel to the existing 5.1-channel
format.
• Neo:6
Neo:6 decodes conventional 2-channel sources for 6
channel playback by. It enables playback with the full-
range channels with higher separation comparable to
digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available;
"Music mode" for playing music sources and "Cinema
mode" for movies.
91

• PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique fbr sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for "pulse code
modulation", the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
• CINEMA DSP
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed
for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room
size, wall material, nmnber of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it's inevitable that there are differences in
the sound heard. Based on a wealth of actually measured
data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses YAMAHA original
sound field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic,
Dolby Digital and DTS systems to provide the visual and
audio experience of a movie theater in the listening room
of your own home.
• SILENT CINEMA
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect
DSP algorithm for headphones.
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations of all the sound field
programs can be enjoyed on hea@hones.
• Virtual CINEMA DSP
YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field
surround effects without any surround speakers by using
virtual surround speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a
minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center
speaker.
92

• ITU-R
ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU
(Intemational Telecommunication Union). ITU-R
recommends a standard speaker placement which is used
in many critical listening rooms, such as mastering
studios.
• LFE 0.1 channel
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The fi'equency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a
low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.i-channel systems.
• Sampling frequency and number of
quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of
times the signal is sampled per second is called the
sampling frequency_ while the degree of fineness when
converting the sound level into a numeric value is called
the number of quantized bits.
The range of rates that can be played back is determined
based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range
representing the sound level difference is determined by
the number of qnantized bits. In principle, the higher the
sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies
that can be played back, and the higher the number of
quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.

• THX Cinema processing
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies
established by the world-renowned film production
company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas'
personal desire to make your experience of the film
soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home
theatre, as _aithful as possible to what the director
intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres
called clubbing stages and are designed to be played back
in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions.
This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto
Laserdise, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for
playback in a small home theatre environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to
accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre
environment into the home, correcting the tonal and
spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX
indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in
Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).
Adaptive decorrelation
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers
help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but
in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This
can snake the surround speakers sound like hea@hones
that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround
sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you
move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive
decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time
and phase relationship with respect to the other surround
channel. This expands the listening position and creates
with only two speakers the same spacious surround
experience as in a movie theatre.
Re-equalization
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively
bright and harsh when played back over audio eqnipment
in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be
played back in large movie theatres using very different
professional equipment. Re-equalization restores the
correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a
small home environment.
Timbre matching
The human ear changes our perception of sound
depending on the direction fi'om which it is coming. In a
movie theatre, there is an array of surround speakers so
that the surround information is all around you. In a home
theatre, you use only two speakers located to the side of
your head. The timbre matching feature filters the
information going to the surround speakers so that they
snore closely snatch the tonal characteristics of the sound
coming from the fi'ont speakers. This ensures seamless
panning between the front and surround speakers.
93

• THX Select
Before any home theatre component can be THX Select
certified, it must incorporate pass a rigorous series of
quality and perlbnnance tests. Only then can a product
feature the THX Select logo, which is your guarantee that
the Home Theatre products you purchase will give you
superb performance for many years to come. THX Select
requirements cover every aspect of the product including
power amplifier and pre-amplifier perlbrmance and
operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the
digital and analog domain.
• THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint
development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are
able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added
during the mixing of the program. This channel, called
Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in
addition to the currently available front left, front center,
front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer
channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity
for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings
more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization
than ever before.
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital
Surround EX technology, when released into the home
consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the
packaging. A list of movies created using this technology
can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com. A
list of available DVD software titles encoded with this
technology can be found at www.thx.com.
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX
Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode,
_aithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the THX Surround EX
mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is
not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such cases the
information delivered to the Surround Back channel will
be program dependent and may or may not be pleasing
depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of
the individual listener.
• Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal
is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB
and Pa signals for the chrominance. Color can be
reproduced more faithfully with this system because each
of these signals is independent. The component signal is
also called the "color difference signal" because the
luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal.
A monitor with component input jacks is required in order
to use the component signal for output.
• Composite video signal
With the composite video signal system, the video signal
is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;
color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite
video jack on a video component transmits these three
elements combined.
• S-video signal
With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally
transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted
as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the
chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the S
VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and
allows recording and playback of even more beautiful
images.
