This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound
field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand
and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and
video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening
room. This unit has a total of 12 digital sound field processor (DSP)
modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a
suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be
listening to), and adding desired adjustments.
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder and Dolby Surround AC-3 decoder for multi-channel sound
reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The
operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Surround AC-3
decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP
program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and the
Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Surround AC-3 decoder.
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 halls, jazz clubs, theaters, etc. from around the world, to
allow you to accurately recreate any one of these live performance
environments, all in your own home.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround
This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to
professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By
using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the
dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound
in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four channel five
speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input
signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center
channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels
(used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient
noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-
than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on
the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging. Dolby Surround
is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser
discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source
encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-
sound effects.
This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal
processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at
each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of
sounds around the room is more accurate compared with
conventional analog signal processing systems.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you the best performance without
manual adjustment.
Dolby Surround AC-3
The built-in Dolby Surround AC-3 Decoder leads you into a
totally new sound experiences.
Dolby Surround AC-3 is a new generation of multi-channel
digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing
format developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind
of low bit-rate audio coding.
Dolby Surround AC-3 is a digital surround sound system that
provides completely independent multi-channel audio to
consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Surround AC-3 provides
five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2”
configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus two
surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also
provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass
effects that are independent of other channels. This channel is
counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.
Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system
(left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby
Surround AC-3 features two surround channels, called stereo or
split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the
three front channels.
Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range
channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been
experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete
digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie
possesses.

English
Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from
Dolby AC-3. In the near future, Dolby AC-3 will also be applied to
DBS, CATV, DVD and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo
Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate
source of AC-3 encoded video software.

The following original functions make the surround-sound effect
of Dolby Surround AC-3 become the most suitable for your audio
system and the listening conditions.
• Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so
that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.
• Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to
either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER
terminals to maximize system performance.
• Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN
SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to
maximize system performance.
Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)
Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large
movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be
reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is
difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie
theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of
inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is
much different from those of a movie theater.
Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with
nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in
your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and
dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields
combined with Dolby Surround sound field.
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs are
created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA DSP
technology.

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
A digital sound field is created on the presence side and the rear
surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-processed sound
field individually. They create a wide acoustic environment and
emphasize surround-effect in the room, letting you feel much
presence as if you are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo
theater.
This combination is used on sound field programs No. 7
through No. 11, and “PROLOGIC/Enhanced” of No. 12.
Dolby Surround AC-3 + 3 Digital Sound Fields
A digital sound field is created on the presence side and the
independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Surround AC-
3-processed sound field individually. They create a wide acoustic
environment and much surround effect in the room without losing
high channel separation. With wide dynamic range of AC-3 sound,
this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a
movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater. This will be the
most ideal home theater sound at the present time.
This combination is available on the sound field programs No. 7
through No. 11 and “AC-3/Enhanced” of No. 12 when playing a
source with the Dolby Surround AC-3 decoded.
Video superimpose
If you connect your video cassette recorder, LD player, video
monitor, etc. to this unit, you can take advantage of this unit’s
capability to display program titles, parameter data and information
for various setting changes and adjustments on your video monitor’s
screen. This information will be superimposed over the video image.
If there is no video source connected or it is turned off, the
information will be displayed over a blue colored background.
NOTE: The program titles, parameter data and other information are
also displayed on the display panel of this unit.

Setting Up Your Speaker System
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field
quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using two extra pairs
of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center
speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a seven-
speaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of effect
speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive ambience
and effects, however, and may be a good way to begin with this unit.
You can always upgrade to the full seven speaker system later. In the
4 or 5 speaker system, the Digital Sound Field Processing is still
performed, but the main speakers are used for both the main
channels and the front effect channels.
Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended
When playing back a source with the “CINEMA DSP” programs
No. 7 through No. 12, or when the Dolby Surround AC-3 is decoded
with any DSP program used, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the
center channel. Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance
of your Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended that
you use a center channel speaker.
If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is
possible to enjoy movie viewing without it. Best results, however, are
obtained with the full system.
Use of a Subwoofer Expands Your Sound Field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition
of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer is effective not
only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but
also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency effect) sound with high
fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby Surround AC-3
decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha
Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-
in power amp.
SPEAKER SETUP
11
English
4 Speaker System
Simplest system.
You can enjoy widely diffused sound by
only adding two additional speaker units
at the rear.
FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.
(See page 21.)
CENTER SP—Set to PHNTM.
(See page 30.)
5 Speaker System
Good for Audio/Video sources.
By the use of center speaker, center
sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are
precisely localized.
FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.
(See page 21.)
CENTER SP—Set to NRML or WD.
(See page 30.)
6 Speaker System
Good for sound fields from 2-channel
stereo sources.
When a normal stereo source is played
back with the sound field programs No.
1 through No. 6, a sound effect
matching that of a 7-speaker system
can be obtained. The addition of front
left and right effect speakers produces a
more effective sound field.
FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.
(See page 21.)
CENTER SP—Set to PHNTM.
(See page 30.)
7 Speaker System
This is the recommended speaker
system, providing the best sound
effects.
When a normal stereo source is played
back with the sound field programs No.
1 through No. 6, using both sets of
effect speakers (front and rear),
reproduces the most effective sound
field. When using the the sound field
programs No. 7 through No. 12 or when
decoding the Dolby Surround AC-3 with
any program used, the center speaker
provides precise center localization.
FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.
(See page 21.)
CENTER SP—Set to NRML or WD.
(See page 30.)
Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended
12
Speakers and Speaker Placement
Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs:
the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT
EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS, plus the
CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a subwoofer.
The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models and
have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum
output of your audio system.
Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN
SPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to
use high performance models that can reproduce sounds in full
range for the CENTER SPEAKER and the FRONT and REAR
EFFECT SPEAKERS.
Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.
Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the
MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and above
the MAIN SPEAKER pair.
Place the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS behind your listening
position. They should be nearly six feet up from the floor.
Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN
SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or
below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.)
If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo
Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical
because low bass tones are not highly directional.

at the main left and right channels while maintaining overall
tonal balance. If you do not have a subwoofer, the use of this
switch will be effective to reinforce the bass frequencies.
*
The use of this switch will not be so effective if you set the
function “1. SPEAKER SET” in the SET MENU mode to
output low bass signals at the main channels from the
subwoofer only. (See pages 30–32 for details.)
D INPUT TRIM Control
Adjusts the input level of each source respectively. Moreover,
performs setting changes and adjustments for functions
selected in the SET MENU mode.
E SET MENU Switch
Whenever pressed, selects functions in the SET MENU mode.

English
F BASS and TREBLE Controls
Adjust low and high frequency response respectively for the
left main, right main and center channels only.
*
Increasing low frequency response with the BASS control will
not be so effective if you set the function “1. SPEAKER SET”
in the SET MENU mode to output low bass signals at the
main channels and/or the center channel from the subwoofer.
(See pages 30–32 for details.)
G PROGRAM Selector
Sequentially selects the digital sound field processing
programs in the + or – direction.
H BALANCE Control
Adjusts the left and right output volume to the Main Speakers
to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker
positions or listening room conditions.
I EFFECT Switch
Normally ON, this switch can be turned OFF to disable output
from the center and effect speakers so that the sound
becomes normal 2-channel stereo.
*
Even if this switch is off, when the Dolby Surround AC-3 is
decoded, signals at all channels are distributed to the main
channels and output from the main speakers.
J RET OUT Selector
Selects the source to be recorded to a tape deck 1 or
VCR 1 independently of the setting of the INPUT SELECTOR.
However, when set to the SOURCE position, the setting of the
INPUT SELECTOR decides the source to be recorded to a
tape deck or VCR.
K INPUT MODE Switch
Switches the mode of selecting input signals between “AUTO”
and “ANALOG” modes for sources that input two or more types
of signals to this unit. (See page 46 for details.)
* For LD source, this switches among “AUTO”, “AC-3 RF”,
“DIGITAL” and “ANALOG” modes.
L INPUT SELECTOR
Selects the input source that you want to listen to (and watch).
M Master VOLUME Control
Simultaneously controls volume level at all outputs: front effect,
main, rear effect, center, and subwoofer. (This does not affect
TAPE REC OUT level.)
* When the volume is decreased by pressing the MUTING key
on the remote control unit, the indicator on the master
VOLUME control flashes on and off.
