SPEAKER SETUP
8
You can enjoy this unit with the following speaker setup to
obtain the best surround sound.
y
The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R* speaker
setting. ITU-R recommends that the front left and right speakers
be placed at 30° from the central listening position, and that the
surround left and right speakers be placed at between 60° and 80°
from the central listening position.
*
ITU-R: for more information (see page 54).
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The 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.
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
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.
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, 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.

SPEAKER SETUP
PREPARATION
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),
“+” (colored) 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.
• 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 and/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 “+”
(colored) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect
the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together
to prevent short circuits.
3 Press and hold the tab to insert the speaker
wire.
4 Return the tab to secure the wire.
■ Cable tags
5 pairs of different colored cable tags are provided with
this product. The colors of the cable tags and their
respective speaker cables are as follows:
• Red: Front right speaker cable
• White: Front left speaker cable
• Green: Center speaker cable
• Gray: Surround right speaker cable
• Blue: Surround left speaker cable
To make it easier to distinguish the various speaker cables,
attach the colored tags to the appropriate speaker cables as
shown below.

y
You can easily distinguish between the cable pairs by attaching a
supplied cable tag to each end of the respective speaker cable (see
page 9).
• If you are not using a subwoofer, allocate the signals to the front
left and right speakers by changing the setting item “LFE/Bass
Out” to FRONT on the SOUND menu (see page 39).

PREPARATION
Do not connect this unit or other components to the mains
power until all connections between components are
complete.
• Make sure that all connections are made correctly - that
is to say, L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and
“–” to “–”. Some components require different
connection methods and have different jack names.
Refer to the operating instructions for each component
you wish to connect to this unit.
• After you have completed all connections, check them
again to make sure they are correct.
• The jack names correspond to the names on the input
selector.
■ Signal directions and cable indications
■ Analog jacks
You can input analog signals from audio components by
connecting audio pin cable to the analog jacks on this unit.
Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the
left jacks.
■ Digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital
signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You
can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and
DTS bitstreams. All digital input jacks are compatible
with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
• This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus
audio signals input to the digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)
jacks are not output to the analog VCR OUT (REC) jacks.
• The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard.
If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this
standard, this unit may not function properly.
Dust protection cap
Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect
the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are
not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in
place. This cap protects the jack from dust.
