Getting Started
Checking the Package Contents
Check your package to make sure it has the following items.
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Insert the batteries in the correct direction by aligning the + and – marks on the batteries with the polarity illustrations (+ and –) inside the
battery compartment.
Change the batteries periodically. Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these different
types of batteries may have the same shape and color.
About changing batteries
As the batteries wear out, the operating range of the remote control decreases and
the TRANSMIT indicator does not flash or its light becomes dim. When you
notice any of these conditions, change all of the batteries.
Notes:
If the remote control is without batteries for more than 20 minutes, or if worn out
batteries remain in the unit, the contents of the memory may be cleared.
If the memory is cleared, insert new batteries and reprogram any functions that may have
been cleared.
After you insert new batteries, be sure to push RESET in the battery compartment using
a ball point pen or similar object before using the remote control. (This does not clear the
contents of the memory.)
Using the Remote Control
The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the main
unit to operate. When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the remote control and the main unit, the sensor cannot receive
signals. The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a
fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of the light or reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.
About handling the remote control
Handle the remote control with care.
Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.
Do not drop the remote control.
Do not leave or store the remote control in the following types of conditions:
high humidity or temperature such as near a heater, stove or bath; or
dusty places; or
in places subject to extremely low temperatures.

Speaker System Configurations
The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right Main speakers, a Center speaker, the left and right Rear
speakers, the left and right Front Effect speakers, and a Rear Center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for
speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A Subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to
produce a fuller sound.
Eight or Seven Speaker Configuration
–Full Cinema DSP–
When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the
powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack audio. The dialogue is
positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is
positioned slightly behind the screen, and the soundtrack music is positioned even
further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation.
This configuration makes the most of this unit’s capability.
The Rear Center speaker is useful for playback of 6-channel Digital Surround.
Six Speaker Configuration –Hi Fi DSP–
This configuration is used the most for audio playback with HiFi DSP. It does not
position the dialogue sound as well as a seven or eight speaker configuration.
However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field
which adds depth to the sound.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to
“NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE”.
Five Speaker Configuration –Standard 5.1 Channel–
This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the
seven or eight speaker configuration. However, it positions the dialogue sound as
coming directly from the screen.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to
“NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE”.
Four Speaker Configuration
–Minimum Requirement–
In this configuration, the Center speaker signals and Front Effect speaker signals
are directed to the left and right Main speakers.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to
“NONE,” item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to “NONE,” and item 1D. REAR CT SP to
“NONE”.

Hookups
Connecting Audio Components
Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including this unit and
determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output.
When you connect other YAMAHA audio component (such as a CD player or changer, MD deck, or tape deck), connect to terminals with
the same number labels. Yamaha applies this labelling system to all its products.
In the hookup illustrations on the following pages:
Connecting to 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, DTS, and Dolby Digital bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks (for CD and
CABLE) priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96 kHz/24 bit digital
signals.
About the 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.
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.
Connecting a turntable
These jacks are for connecting 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 jacks.
The GND terminal does not electrically ground the turntable. It simply reduces
noise in the signal. In some cases, you may hear less noise if you do not connect to
the GND terminal.
Connecting a CD player
The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a CD player
which has coaxial or optical digital outputs.
When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD
jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL CD jack.
Connecting an MD or DAT deck
When you connect a recorder to this unit, keep the deck’s power on while using
this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other
component.
When you record from source component connected to this unit while this unit’s
power is off, the recorded sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn
on this unit.
When you connect a CD recorder to both the analog and digital input and output
jacks, priority is given to the digital signals.

Hookups
Connecting Video Components
Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including this unit and
determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output. After you finish all hookups, check them again to make
sure they are correct.
About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite video signals. Video
signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals achieve high
quality color reproduction.
Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P
B/CB, PR/CR) video
signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal. The labels of the component video jacks may be different depending on the
component (e.g. Y, C
B, CR / Y, PB, PR / Y, B-Y, R-Y/ etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction.
If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can
connect it to this unit. Connect the S-video signal output jack on your video
component to the S-VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jacks on
your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
Notes:
Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite video,
S-video, and component jacks are output through the corresponding composite video, S-
video, and component jacks respectively.
Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jacks, and
commercially available video cables when connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks.
When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s
manual that came with the component being connected.

Connecting Speakers
This section explains how to connect speakers to this unit. After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to change the
signal output settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration.
Before connecting any speaker cords, identify which terminals are for the right and left channels and also the + and polarities. If you
connect speakers with the wrong polarity (+ to ), this unit will not reproduce clear sound.
Using speaker cords
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of
the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove, or ridge.
To make sure you always connect speakers with the correct polarity, determine the
difference between the cables of your speaker cord, make a note of which cable
you plan to use for which polarity (+ and –), and always connect the speaker cords
consistently.
1
1
Strip off 9 mm (3/8 in.) of an inch of insulation from the ends of the cables.
2
2
Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.
3
3
Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclockwise.
4
4
Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the slot in the side of the
terminal, and tighten the terminal knob.
Note:
If your speaker cords have banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob and insert the
plug into the end of the terminal. (Except for Europe and U.K. models)
Caution:
Connect the speaker cords with care to avoid creating a short circuit. If you turn on
the power and there is a short circuit, this unit may be damaged even though the
protection circuit automatically shuts off the power.
About the q RF (AC-3) signal input jack <For China and General models only.>
If your LD player has an q RF (AC-3) signal output jack, connect it to the q RF (AC-3) input jack on this unit. For this connection,
change SET MENU item 7D. COAXIAL IN (10) to “LD-RF”. If q RF (AC-3) and analog signals are input at the same time, priority is
given to the RF signals. When you want to reproduce q RF (AC-3) signals, set the input mode to “D.D. RF” using INPUT MODE.
Note:
q RF (AC-3) signals cannot be output using the REC OUT selector. When you record
sound or images from an LD player, be sure to connect the player to either the DIGITAL
OPTICAL or analog AUDIO jacks.
Caution:
Even if you connect an LD player with an q RF (AC-3) output jack to this unit, you
cannot reproduce Dolby Digital sound from all LD discs. You must playback an LD disc
encoded with Dolby Digital signals in order to take advantage of the Dolby Digital
sound.
