The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, thcing slightly inw,'ards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.

Front speakers (FR and FL)
Tile front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround
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 cm (12 in)
apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width
as the front speakers.
Subwoofer
The use of a subv,,oofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low-
frequency 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 sound from the front
speakers with extra anabient effects produced by CINEMA
DSP (see page 45). These effects include sounds that
filmmakers 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 It) outside the front speakers, facing slightly
inwards, and about 1.8 in (6 ft) above the floor.
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, yon can do "a,ithont it. Best results,
however, are obtained w,ith the full system. Align the front
face 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.

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.

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
euvironnlent.
Connect the supplied optimizer microphone
to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front
panel.
(U.S.A. model)
• 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,
lk)llowthe troubleshooting on page 30.
YPAO performs the following checks and makes
appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible
sound from your system.
WlRING/LEVEL:
Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of
each speaker. Also checks and adjusts the sound level
(volume) of each speaker so that the sound level of each
speaker is the same when heard from the listening
position.
DISTANCE/PHASE:
Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening
position and adjusts the delay of each channel so that the
sound from each speaker reaches the listening position at
the same time. Also checks the phase of each speaker.
SIZE:
Checks the speakers frequency response and sets the
crossover/high cut frequency for the subwoofer to improve
the sound relationship between the speakers and the
sl.lbwoofer.
• After you have completed the auto setup procedure, be sure to
disconnect the optimizer microphone.
• The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.
Keep it away trom direct sunlight.
Do not place it on top of this unit.
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 optinfizer
mic at the same height as your ears would be when
you are seated in your listening position.

• Digilal signals inpul to Ihe DIGITAL INPUT jacks are nol
output to Ihe analog AUDIO OUT (L/R)jacks for recording.
Likewise, analog signals input to lhe AUDIO IN (L/R)jacks are
not output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore. if your
source component is connected Io provide only digital (or

picture itself may he 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
made.
For DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player
is compatible with the DTS t_rmat, follow its operating
instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will
be output from the player.

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. You can control this unit from the second room using the
supplied remote control.
Only analog signals are sent to the second room. Any source you want to listen to in the second room must be
connected using the analog (AUDIO L/R) input jacks on this unit.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room fimctions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second room.
• An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second
room to the main room (to a CD player, for example).
• An anaplifier and speakers t_r the second room.
• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult with the
nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for the Zone 2 counectkms which will best meet your requirements.
• Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE CONTROL OUT ,_ck of this unit. If you own these products,
you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to 6 YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.

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.
Yon can enjoy good quality sound with the factory preset
parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial
settings, you can change some of the parameters to better
suit the input source or your listening room.
• Elements of a sound field
In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears from 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), alter reflecting from one 1
surface only for example, from the ceiling or a wall.
Early reflections actually 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 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 digital sound field processor
reproduces in order to create sound fields.
3
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you
woukt 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 fiekt
processor.

This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the dehty between the
direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.
The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. 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/R ROOM SIZE (Room size)
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround 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 paraineter from
one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

Function: This parameter adjusts tile reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing tile rate at "a,hich tile
early reflections decay.
Description: The early reflections of a sound source 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 referred to as "live". The
LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the "liveness" of the
room.

• Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives
you completely independent nmlti-channel audio. With 3
front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround
stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio
channels. With an additional channel especially for bass
effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has
a total of 5.1 -channels (LFE is counted as 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 (from maximum to mininmm
volmne) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the
precise sound orientation generated using digital sound
processing provide listeners with previously unheard of
excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up
to a 5.l-channel configuration can be freely selected for
your enjoyment.
• Dolby Digital Surround EX
Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-band'a, idth output
channels from 5.l-channel sources. This is clone using a
matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the
2 in the original recording. For the 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 with
"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 discrete 5-channel
playback with 2 front 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 discrete
multi-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel
sources. There is a Music mode for music, a Movie mode
t_r movies and a Game mode t_r games.
• Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses :t 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynanfic 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 frequency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in ninny 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 volmne on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.
• DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality
for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is filly
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 961
24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96124
master, and 96124 5.1-channel sound with full-quality fidl-
motion video for nmsic programs and motion picture
sonndtracks on DVD-video.
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
sonndtracks 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-free 6-channel sound (technically, a
left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus
an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, t_r a total of 5.1 -
channels). The unit incorporates DTS-ES decoder that
enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround
back channel to existing 5. l-channel format.
• Neo:6
Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6
channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables
playback with the full-range channels with higher
separation just like digital discrete signal playback. T'a,o
modes are available; "Music mode" for playing music
sources and "Cinema mode" for movies.

• CINEMA DSP
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems w,ere
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, number of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it's inevitable that there are differences in
the sound heard as well. 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 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 sonnd field
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.
• Virtual CINEMA DSP
YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP
algorithm that allow, s yon to enjoy DSP sound field
surround effects even without any snrronnd 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.

• ITU-R
ITU-R is the radio conmmnication sector of the ITU
(International Telecomnmnicafion Union). ITU-R
recommends a standard speaker placement which is used
in many critical listening rooms, especially f_r mastering
pnrposes.
• LFE 0.1 channel
This channel is for the reproduction of lo'a, bass signals.
The frequency range fbr 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 516 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.116. l-channel systems.
• 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 for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for "pulse code
modnlafion", the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
• Sampling frequency and number of
quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio siglml, 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 qnantized 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
qnantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.

• Component video signal
With the component video signal system, the video signal
is separated into the Y signal t_r the lmninance and the P_3
and Pit signals for the chrominance. Color can be
reproduced more faithfidly 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 nse 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 hnninance and the C signal for the
chrominance through the S-Video cable. Using the S
VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and
allov,,s recording and playback of even more beautiful
images.
