requirements for the grounding electrode.
We Want You Listening for a Lifetime
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Associa-
tion’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get
the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level. One that lets the sound come through
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distor-
tion – and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.
Since hearing damage from loud
sounds is often undetectable until it is
too late, YAMAHA and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group recommend you to
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
volume levels.
Note for CATV system installers:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV sys-
tem installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper ground-
ing and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding sys-
tem of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.

Introduction
Using Yamaha’s unique DSP technology, the RP-U100 can bring excitement and realism
to any audio source by simulating the acoustic environments of concert halls, movie the-
aters, and so on with only two speakers. With its stylish, vertical design, the RP-U100
allows you to use various audio sources, including your PC, CD player, MD or tape
recorder, and the built-in AM/FM tuner, as shown below.
Although the RP-U100 can be used as part of a typical hi-fi system, connecting it to your
PC via the USB port, and running the supplied RP-U100 Application Software, allows
you to remotely control the RP-U100 from your PC and edit the sound field programs.

Virtual 3D
Surround sound typically requires
several speakers situated in front of
and behind the listening position,
which requires a substantial amount
of space that may not always be
available. The RP-U100 uses
Yamaha’s unique “Virtual 3D” tech-
nology to simulate a typical
surround sound system using only
two speakers. Virtual 3D, which is used by the RP-U100’s sound field programs, simulates
the surround effect provided by rear and center speakers, creating “virtual” surround
speakers, as shown, so even with only two front speakers, you can still enjoy surround
sound.
Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)
When you listen to a performance in a concert hall, jazz club, or other live music venue,
you not only hear the direct sound coming from the musical instruments and singers, but
also the “early reflections” and natural reverberation. Early reflections are the initial
sound waves that bounce off the floor, ceiling, and walls. Natural reverberation is made
up of sound waves that gradually attenuate as they bounce repeatedly off multiple
surfaces.
Since the way you hear early reflections and reverberation depends on the shape and size
of the building as well as the material and construction of the walls and ceiling, each venue
has its own unique “sound,” called its “sound field.” At Yamaha, we have measured all the
elements that make up a typical sound field—direction and level of the reflections, band-
width characteristics, and delay times—at famous concert halls and opera houses around
the world. The information gained in this process has been converted into programs that
can be reproduced using Yamaha’s DSP technology. Using its on-board DSP, the RP-U100
can process any audio source and recreate the atmosphere of the original venue.

Recommended Speaker
Placement
For best performance, place the left and
right speakers either side of your com-
puter monitor, as shown below, and posi-
tion them so that their fronts are flush. To
get the best from the sound field programs
and surround effects, the left and right
speakers and the listener should be posi-
tioned so as to form a triangle with a 3:4
ratio, so if, for example, the speakers are
60 cm (23.5") apart, the listener should be
80 cm (31.5") away from each speaker.
Bass performance can be extended by con-
necting a subwoofer, such as the Yamaha
YST-SW45, to the SUB WOOFER OUT.

Recording
The input source selected on the RP-U100 is output by the ANALOG AUX 2 OUT, DIG-
ITAL OPT OUT, USB port, and speakers, as shown in the following table. “O” means that
a signal is output, “X” means no signal is output.
By connecting a cassette tape recorder or MD recorder to the ANALOG AUX 2 OUT or
DIGITAL OPT OUT, you can record from an external audio source (e.g., PC or CD
player) or the tuner. When the input source is the ANALOG AUX 1 IN, ANALOG AUX 2
IN, or tuner, the input signal can be fed to your PC via the USB connection. Since sound
field effects are not output by these connectors, they cannot be recorded.
1. Connect a tape recorder to the ANA-
LOG AUX 2 OUT, or an MD recorder
to the DIGITAL OPT OUT, as
explained on page 6.
2. Turn on the recorder and the
RP-U100.
3. Use the input selector keys to select
an input source, as explained on
page 10.
See page 11 for more information
about using the tuner.
4. Start recording on your tape or MD
recorder.
5. Start the input source.
