PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
You are the proud owner of Yamaha DSP-E200 –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field Processor
(DSP) built in this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring 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 Dolby-encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.
Rather than tell you about the wonders of digital sound field processing, however, let’s get right down to the business of setting up
the system and trying out its many capabilities. 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 advanced
sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to
the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll 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 you’ll feel all the sound of
a live concert.
What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture
the acoustics of a variety of actual concert hall, theater, etc. to
allow you to accurately recreate one of several actual live
performance environments, all in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder program lets you
experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround
movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic gets
its name from its professional-grade steering logic circuitry,
which provides greater effective channel separation for a much
higher degree of realism than the “passive” Dolby Surround
circuits found in today’s typical home audio/video equipment.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides a true center channel, so
that there are four independent channels, unlike passive Dolby
Surround which has in effect only three channels: left, right,
and rear. This center channel allows listeners seated in even
less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from
action on the screen while getting a stereo effect as well.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital
signal processing system. This system increases sound
stability at each channel and minimizes crosstalk between
channels, compared to conventional analog Dolby signal
processing.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This circuit always presents you the best surround
conditions without performing manual adjustments.
“ENHANCED” Dolby Pro Logic Surround
This unit has a second mode of Dolby Pro Logic Surround
processing called “Enhanced Dolby Pro Logic Surround”
processing. Enhanced Dolby Pro Logic Surround processing
recreates the surround effect of a movie theater, effectively
duplicating their multiple surround loudspeaker system,
completely surrounding the listener with the sounds of the
action taking place on the screen.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATIONS FOR THIS UNIT
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will
be mainly front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. (You can delete a center speaker. Refer to the “4-Speaker
Configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the output of the main source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be your present
stereo speaker system. The rear speakers are used for the output of the effect sound. And the center speaker is used for the
output of the center sound (dialogue etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal
with the front speakers. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this
unit that will drive them.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended. In
this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as
the rear speakers. If the digital sound field program is in the
DOLBY PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED, conversations will be
output from the center speaker and the ambience will be
excellent.
*
Set the center mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position.
(For details, refer to the page 11.)
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or
ENHANCED, the center sound is output from the left and the
right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other
programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
*
Be sure to set the center mode to the “PHANTOM” position.
(For details, refer to the page 11.)
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommanded speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front speakers (your normal
stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
Front: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.
Nearly six feet up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
interference to TV sets, use a magnetically shielded
speaker. If, however, it is not effective, keep the
speaker away from TV sets.)

Description of Dolby Pro logic Surround
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND: This unit employs
the Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. This system is similar to
professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in movie theaters.
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system, by employing a four-
channel system, divides the input signals into four levels: the
left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize
dialogue), and the rear surround-sound channels (to
characterize sound effects, background noise and other ambient
noise).
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially
available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you
play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home video
system, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on this unit
decodes the signal and feeds the surround-sound effects.
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode may not be always
effective on video sources not encoded with Dolby Surround.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation. Additionally licensed under one or more of the
following patents: U.S. numbers 3,632,886, 3,746,792, and
3,959,590; canadian numbers 1,004,603 and 1,037,877.
“Dolby” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
DESCRIPTION OF EACH SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
PROGRAM
FEATURE
This program is effective on the play of the sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC
The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound
source more smoothly and precisely,comparing with the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated.
This program is effective on the play of the sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.
ENHANCED
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround speaker
systems of the 35 mm film theater, so widening the surrounded-sound field with greater presence.
CONCERT VIDEO
This program is effective on music videos and excellent in depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, the
orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, so 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 mono
setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair, lending an
immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono movies, news
broadcasts and dialogue.
ROCK CONCERT This program will suit to rock music. A big, powerful sound is reproduced lively and dynamically.
CONCERT HALL
In this program, the center seems even more deeply behind the front speaker pair, creating an expansive,
large hall ambience.
OFF switch: When any program is not used with the selected source, press this switch. The sound is output only from the
front speakers.
USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor, which allows you to expand and shape the audio
sound field from both the audio and video sources, for a theater-like experience in the listening/viewing room.
This digital sound field processor has 6 programs; 4 programs for digital sound field processing and 2 programs for the Dolby Pro
Logic Surround sound system (DOLBY PRO LOGIC and ENHANCED). You can create excellent audio sound field by selecting
the suitable program and adding desired adjustments. In addition, when the digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO
LOGIC or ENHANCED, the built-in automatic input balance control functions. This presents you the best surround condition
without adjusting it manually.

Adjustment of DELAY TIME
You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of
the source sound and the beginning of the effect sound with
the DELAY TIME keys.
The DELAY TIME keys are effective with all programs.
By applying more or less delay, sound effects, background
noise, and ambient noise coming at you from the rear speakers
can be enhanced or subdued for extra effect.
1 PRO LOGIC: from 15 to 30 milliseconds
(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)
2 ENHANCED: from 15 to 30 milliseconds
(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)
3 CONCERT VIDEO: from 1 to 100 milliseconds
(Preset value: 25 milliseconds)
4 MONO MOVIE: from 1 to 100 milliseconds
(Preset value: 25 milliseconds)
5 ROCK CONCERT: from 1 to 100 milliseconds
(Preset value: 15 milliseconds)
6 CONCERT HALL: from 1 to 100 milliseconds
(Preset value: 30 milliseconds)
By continuously pressing “+” or “–” of the DELAY TIME keys,
the value changes continuously.
However, the value stops changing momentarily at the preset
point.
Note
Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with
some sources. Experiment with the DELAY TIME keys to
create an effect that you find most suitable.
To obtain the best performance of this unit:
If the connecting way of your components is A or C shown
on pages 6–8, set the volume control on the integrated
amplifier or control amplifier to about the halfway position
between the min. and max.
Notes
●
If you prefer to cancel the selected program, press the OFF
switch. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo
without surround sound effect.
●
In the CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK
CONCERT and CONCERT HALL, no sound is heard from
the center speaker.
●
When the monaural sound source is played in the DOLBY
PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED, no sound is heard from the
front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound is heard only
from the center speaker. However, if the center mode is in
the PHANTOM, the front speakers output the sound of the
center speaker.
●
If the connected external amplifier has a built-in surround
sound or ambience circuitry, be sure that the surround or
ambience circuitry on that amplifier is off while you are using
this unit’s Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding function.
●
When this unit is in the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode, if
the main-source sound is considerably altered by
overadjustment of the BASS or TREBLE controls on the
integrated amplifier etc., the relationship with the center and
rear channels may produce an unnatural effect.

NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
Battery installation
Battery replacement
If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used
closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both
batteries with new ones.
Notes
●
Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.
●
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside
the battery compartment.)
●
Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will
not be used for an extended period of time.
●
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid
touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly
before installing new batteries.
Remote-control transmitter operation range
Notes
●
There should be no large obstacles between the remote
control transmitter and the main unit.
●
If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.),
it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work
correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid
direct lighting.
