CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
1. To assure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away
from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive
vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of
humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or
electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or
water.
3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the
unit, contact your dealer.
4. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection
wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the
power cord and then the wires connected to other
component. Never pull the wires themselves.
5. The openings on the cover assure proper ventilation
of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the
temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly.
Therefore, avoid placing objects against these
openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated area
to prevent fire and damage.
Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind,
20 cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel
of the unit to prevent fire and damage.
6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other
accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a
voltage other than that specified.
7. Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere
with other component such as tuners, receivers and
TVs. Move this unit farther away from such
component if interference is observed.
8. Always set VOLUME to the “m” position before
starting the audio source play. Increase the volume
gradually to an appropriate level after playback has
been started.
9. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical
solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.
10. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before
concluding that the unit is faulty.
11. When not planning to use this unit for a long period
of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power
cord from the wall outlet.
12. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC
power cord and disconnect the antenna cable when
there is an electrical storm.
13. Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be
taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit
is not defeated.
14. AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the
AC outlet on the rear panel if that component
requires more power than the outlet is rated to
provide.
This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this
unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby
mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a
very small quantity of power.
■ For U.K. customers
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug
supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an
appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the
instructions described below.
Note
• The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a
plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live
socket outlet.
■ Special Instructions for U.K. Model
IMPORTANT
THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter L or coloured RED.
Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth
terminal of the three pin plug.

SPEAKER SETUP
Speaker Placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the
speakers.
Speakers to Be Used
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality
with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers
and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers
(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a
moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift
smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the
same manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus
the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from
your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for
the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for
the center 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.
The main speakers should be high-performance models and
have enough power-handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system. The 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 over the full
range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.
■ Use of a subwoofer expands your
sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. 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) channel with high fidelity when playing back a
source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS. The YAMAHA
Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for
natural and lively bass reproduction.

Main speaker (R)
Subwoofer

Rear speaker (R)
1.8 m
■ Main speakers
Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the
same.
■ Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing
slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the
floor.
■ Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face
of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the
monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the
monitor and centrally between the main speakers.
Note
• If the center speaker is not used, the sound will be heard from the
right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the
SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 37 for
details.)
■ Subwoofer
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 main speakers. Turn it slightly
toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
CAUTION
Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If
this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the
monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker
or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically
shielded speakers.

CONNECTIONS
Before Connecting Components
CAUTION
Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been
completed.
Be sure 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 terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each
component to be connected to this unit.
When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect
it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products.
Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.
The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:
Yellow video signals (composite)
White analog audio signals for the left channel
Red analog audio signals for the right channel
coaxial digital signals
After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

Connecting the Antennas
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal
strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor
reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality.
Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.
■ Indoor FM antenna (included)
Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The
indoor FM antenna is only a simple antenna. For reception
with better sound quality, installing the outdoor FM antenna
(commercially available) is recommended.
Note
• Do not connect an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM
antenna at the same time.
■ Outdoor FM antenna
You may be unable to obtain good FM radio reception
depending on your local conditions (distance from the
broadcasting station, interposing buildings and
mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or authorized service
center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local
conditions.
Install the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) in
a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid
being affected by automobile ignition noise.
■ Connecting a coaxial cable to the included 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna
adapter (U.K. model only)
1 Open the cover of the included 75-ohm/
300-ohm antenna adapter.
2 Cut the external sleeve of the 75-ohm coaxial
cable and prepare it for connection.
3 Cut the lead wire and remove it.
4 Insert the cable wire into the slot, and clamp it
with pliers.
5 Snap the cover into place.

Connecting an Audio Component
■ PHONO terminals
These terminals are used to connect a turntable with an MM
or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a
low-output MC cartridge, use an inline boosting transformer
or MC head amplifier when connecting to these terminals.
y

terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL
and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals. To make a
connection between the optical digital signal terminals,
remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect
them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable
that conforms to EIA standards. Other cables might not
function correctly.
When making connections between the digital signal
terminals, you should connect the components to the same-
named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because a
digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD
recorder or VCR connected to this unit.
■ TV monitor with a 21-pin connector
Make a connection as shown above with a commercially
available SCART-plug connector cable.
Notes
• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not
being used in order to protect them from dust.
• If your LD player has a Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal,
be sure to use the RF demodulator (separately purchased).
• No sound will be heard when connecting your LD player’s Dolby
Digital RF signal output terminal directly to this unit’s COAXIAL
DVD/LD digital signal input terminal.
y
• The input signal from the DVD/LD input terminals is selected in
the following order of priority with the input mode set to AUTO:
COAXIAL terminal → OPTICAL terminal → Analog terminal.

Using the Test Tone
The adjustment of each speaker sound output level should
be performed at your listening position with the remote
control. After completing the adjustments, use VOLUME
(u/d) at your listening position to check if the adjustments
are satisfactory.
1 Press AMP(TUNER) on the
component selector.
2 Press TEST.
“TEST LEFT” appears on the display.
3 Turn up the volume.
You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from each
speaker for about two seconds in following order: left
main speaker, center speaker, right main speaker, right
rear speaker and left rear speaker. The display changes
as shown below.
Notes
• If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set the unit
in the standby mode and check the speaker connections.
• If the test tone cannot be heard from the center speaker, check the
setting of “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU.
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level
balance between the main, center and rear speakers by using
the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is
performed, the sound output level heard at the listening
position will be the same from each speaker. This is
important for the best performance of the digital sound field
processor, the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital
decoder and DTS decoder.
Before You Start Adjusting
1 Set VOLUME to the “m”
position.
2 Turn the power on.
3 Press SPEAKERS A or B
to select the main
speakers to be used.
If you use two main speaker
systems, press both A and B.
4 Set BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE to the “0”
position.
