SPEAKER SETUP

SpeakersThis unit has been designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 6-speaker system, using main left andright speakers, rear left and right speakers, a centerspeaker, and a rear center speaker. If you use differentbrands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in yoursystem, the tone of a moving human voice and other typesof sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that youuse speakers from the same manufacturer or speakerswith the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source soundplus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakersfrom your present stereo system. The rear speakers areused for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker isfor the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The rear centerspeaker supplements the rear (left and right) speakers andprovides for more realistic front-to-back transitions.

The main speakers should be high-performance modelsand have enough power-handling capacity to accept themaximum output of your audio system. The otherspeakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. Forprecise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use themodels of equivalent performance with the mainspeakers.

� Use of a subwoofer expands yoursound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with theaddition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer iseffective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies fromany or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE(low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity whenplaying back Dolby Digital or DTS signals. TheYAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System isideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

PREPARATION

Speaker placementRefer to the following diagram when you place thespeakers.

� Main speakersPlace the main left and right speakers an equal distancefrom the ideal listening position. The distance betweeneach speaker and each side of the video monitor shouldalso be the same.

� Center speakerAlign the front face of the center speaker with the frontface of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close tothe monitor as possible (such as directly over or under themonitor) and centrally between the main speakers.

� Rear speakersPlace these speakers behind your listening position,facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above thefloor.

� Rear center speakerPlace the rear center speaker in the center between therear left and right speakers at the same height from thefloor as the rear speakers.

� SubwooferThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical, becauselow bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is betterto place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn itslightly toward the center of the room to reduce wallreflections.

Note• If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear, center and/or rear

center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at theSET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals youconnect speakers to.

CAUTION

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type ofspeakers still creates the interference with the monitor,place the speakers away from the monitor.

5 When adjustment iscomplete, press TEST tostop the test tone.

Notes• If “1A CENTER” on the SET MENU is set to NON, the center

channel sound is automatically output from the main left andright speakers.

• If “1C REAR LR” on the SET MENU is set to NON, theoutput level of the rear left, right and center speakers cannot beadjusted in step 4. The test tone will be circulated skipping therear left and right speakers and the rear center speaker.

• If “1D REAR CT” on the SET MENU is set to NON, theoutput level of the rear center speaker cannot be adjusted instep 4. The test tone will be circulated skipping the rear centerspeaker.

• If “1E BASS” on the SET MENU is set to MAIN, the test tonewill be circulated skipping the subwoofer.

y• It is not necessary to readjust the speaker levels once they are

set (as long as you do not change the speakers). You can enjoylistening to or watching the input source at the desired volumesimply by adjusting the VOLUME knob (or VOLUME +/– onthe remote control).

• If the output level of the effect speakers (center, rear left, rearright, and rear center) cannot be increased enough to match thelevel of the main speakers, set “1F MAIN Lv” on SET MENUto –10 dB (see page 45). This setting decreases the mainspeaker output level to about one-third of the normal level.After you have set “1F MAIN Lv” on the SET MENU to–10 dB, adjust the levels for the center and rear speakers again.

* Subwoofer test tone is output after the rear leftspeaker (LEFT SURROUND).

The front panel display shows which speaker isoutputting the test tone.

Note• If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set this

Input modes and indicationsThis unit comes with a variety input jacks. You can selectthe type of input signals you desire.

Each time you turn on the power of this unit, the inputmode is set according to “8 INPUT MODE” setting onthe SET MENU (see page 47 for details).

1 Press INPUT MODE (the input selectorbutton that you have pressed to select theinput source on the remote control)repeatedly until the desired input mode isshown on the front panel display.

AUTO: In this mode, the input signal is selectedautomatically as follows:1) Digital signal2) Analog signal

DTS: In this mode, only the digital input signalencoded with DTS is selected, even ifanother signal is input at the same time.

ANALOG: In this mode, only the analog input signal isselected, even if a digital signal is input atthe same time.

Notes• When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the

type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTSsignal, the decoder automatically switches to the appropriatesetting.

• When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS onsome LD or DVD players, the sound output delays for amoment when playback resumes after a search because thedigital signal is selected again.

• When playing a LD source that has not been digitally recorded,the sound may not be output for some LD players. In this case,set the input mode to ANALOG.

� Notes on 96-kHz sampling digitalsignals

The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96-kHzsampling digital signals. Note the following when 96-kHzsampling digital signal is input to this unit:– DSP programs cannot be selected.– Sound will be output as 2-channel stereo from only the

main left and right speakers. (There may be soundoutput from the subwoofer depending on theSPEAKER MODE settings on the SET MENU.)Therefore, the level of the effect speakers cannot beadjusted while listening to such a source.

� Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs• If the digital output data of the player has been

processed in any way, you may not be able to performDTS decoding even if you make a digital connectionbetween this unit and the player.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal andset the input mode to ANALOG, this unit mayreproduce the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. Inthis case, connect the source to a digital input jack andset the input mode to AUTO or DTS.

• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG whileplaying a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unitreproduces no sound.

• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal withthe input mode set to AUTO;– This unit automatically switches to the DTS-

decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up) afterhaving detected the DTS signal. When playback ofthe DTS source is completed, the “t” indicatormay flash. While this indicator is flashing, only DTSsource can be played. If you want to play a normalPCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

– When the input mode is set to AUTO and a search orskip operation is performed during playback of aDTS source, the “t” indicator may flash. If thisstatus continues for longer than 30 seconds, this unitwill automatically switch from “DTS-decoding”mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t”indicator will turn off.

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)

Understanding sound fieldsA sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of aparticular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hearearly reflections and reverberations as well as the direct soundproduced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections andother reverberations among the different music venues is what giveseach venue its special and recognizable sound quality.YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world tomeasure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and musicvenues, and collect detailed sound field information such as thedirection, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Thenwe stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of thisunit.

� Recreating a sound fieldRecreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in yourlistening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic soundfield. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize thevirtual sound sources and fully encompass the listener.

Hi-Fi DSP programsThe following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep inmind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments.
