OUTLINE OF THIS SYSTEM  
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)  
The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this system takes advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in  
the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in  
this manual carefully when setting up your system, and this unit will sonically transform your room into a wide range of  
listening environments –movie theater, concert hall, and so on. In addition, you get incredible realism from sources  
encoded with Dolby Surround using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder.  
Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference.  
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.  
Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated  
measuring equipment, have even made it possible to  
capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an  
actual concert hall, theater, etc. to allow you to  
accurately recreate one of several actual 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.  
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 minimizes  
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 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  
Dolby Pro Logic Surround + 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.

The combination of Dolby Pro Logic Surround and DSP  
is used on the sound field program “ PRO LOGIC  
ENHANCED”.  
CINEMA DSP  
The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates these  
programs are created by the combination of Dolby Pro  
Logic and YAMAHA DSP technology.  
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

CONNECTIONS  
Connect the provided speakers (NX-AV1) to the  
SPEAKERS terminals on the rear of SW-AV1.  
How to Connect:  
Connect the provided speaker cords between the  
SPEAKERS terminals on the power  
amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AV1) and the speaker  
terminals on each speaker (NX-AV1) properly as  
shown below. If the connections are faulty, no sound  
will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the  
polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and  
– markings are observed. If these wires are reversed,  
the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.  
All of the speakers (NX-AV1) are identical.  
The speakers connected to the FRONT R and L  
terminals should be used as the right and left front  
speakers.  
The speaker connected to the CENTER terminal  
should be used as the center speaker.  
The speakers connected to the REAR R and L  
terminals should be used as the right and left rear  
speakers.  
As a sure method, connect the wire with a silver line to  
the + terminals on both the power amplifier/subwoofer  
(SW-AV1) and speaker, and connect the wire with no  
line to the – terminals on both of them.  
Notes  
Do not connect speakers other than the provided  
ones to SW-AV1.  
Use the provided speaker cords for the connections.  
Normally, use the short cords to connect with the  
front and center speakers, and use the long ones to  
connect with the rear speakers.  
Caution  
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other  
as this could damage SW-AV1 and/or speakers.  
On SW-AV1:  
The provided tag sheet for speaker cords is useful  
for preventing wrong connections between speakers  
and SW-AV1.

at the listening position will be the same from each  
speaker. This is important for the best performance of  
the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.  
The adjustment of each speaker output level  
should be done at your listening position with the  
remote control transmitter. Otherwise, the result  
may not be satisfactory.

Playing back some compact discs at high volume  
can cause mistracking. In this case, listen at lower  
volume.  
Do not pull open the disc tray forcibly with your hands.  
Do not push the disc tray while it is moving.  
If the power fails while the tray is open, wait until the  
power supply returns or gently push the tray  
manually to close it.

<For U.K. and Europe models only>  
This tuner is originally set so that only RDS stations  
are searched instead of all FM stations by this  
operation. (FM stations that employ no RDS network  
service cannot be programmed.)  
However, you can change the setting so that the unit  
can program not only RDS stations but also other  
FM stations. (Refer to page 43 for details.)

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many  
countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.  
RDS data contains various information, such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY  
(Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), etc.  
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.  
* This unit utilizes PS, PTY, RT and CT to receive RDS broadcast stations.  
Displaying RDS data  
AUTO ST  
This unit can be turned into the following four modes to display RDS data.  
PS (Program Service name) mode:  
Displays the name of the RDS station  
now being received instead of the  
frequency.  
RT (Radio Text) mode:  
Displays information about the program (such as title of  
the song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station  
now being received.  
CT (Clock Time) mode:  
PTY (Program Type) mode:  
Displays current time. This signal comes from the RDS  
station now being received. Time of the built-in clock  
can be automatically corrected on the basis of this  
signal.  
Displays the type of the program on the RDS station  
now being received. There are 15 program types to  
classify RDS stations as shown on the next page.

Notes  
RT (Radio Text) mode  
RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the  
received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the  
RT (Radio Text mode) needs much data to be  
received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be  
displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.)  
are displayed.  
There may be a case that RDS data reception is not  
possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press  
the AUTO/MAN’L button so that “AUTO” goes off  
from the display. Though the reception mode is  
changed to monaural by this operation, when you  
change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may  
be displayed.  
Information about the program on the station  
being received is displayed. Information is  
displayed by a maximum of 64 Roman Alphabets  
including umlaut sign.  
* If other characters are used on the RT data,  
they are displayed with underbars.  
“RT WAIT” may flash while the unit is  
receiving the data.  
* If the RDS station does not employ the RT  
data service, “NO RT” lights up on the display  
for about 2 seconds and then returns to  
frequency display mode.  
* If the station has PS data, after that, it turns  
into the PS mode.  
If the signal strength gets weakened by external  
interference during receiving an RDS station, the  
RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and turn  
into the frequency display mode.  
CT (Clock Time) mode  
Current time is displayed in the following form.  
The CT data from the station being received  
changes every minute.  
Hour

This unit corrects time of the built-in clock by  
synchronizing it with the CT data. (This function  
can also be canceled, if so desired. Refer to  
page 43 for details.)  
* “CT WAIT” may flash while the unit is  
receiving the data. If the data is accidentally  
cut off, “CT WAIT” may flash and then turn into  
“NO CT”.  
* If the RDS station does not employ the CT  
data service, “NO CT” lights up on the display  
for about 2 seconds and then returns to  
frequency display mode.  
* If the station has PS data, after that, it turns

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)  
USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)  
This system incorporates a sophisticated, multi-  
Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field  
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. You can create an excellent audio  
sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program  
(this will, of course, depend on what you will be  
listening to), and adding desired adjustments.  
Programs  
The following list gives you a brief description of the  
sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs.  
Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital  
recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data  
for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations  
using sophisticated sound field measurement  
equipment.  
In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic  
Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction  
of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.  
The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder  
can be controlled by selecting the DSP program,  
Note  
The channel level balance between the left and  
right rear effect speakers may vary depending on  
the sound field you are listening to. This is due to  
the fact that most of these sound field recreations  
are actual acoustic environments.  
PRO LOGIC or  
PRO LOGIC ENHANCED.  
PROGRAM  
PRO LOGIC  
FEATURE  
This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.  
The application of a sophisticated digital signal processing system reduces crosstalk and  
directs or steers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, as compared to conventional  
types.  
This program is also used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.  
Enhancing the “Normal” Dolby Pro Logic, the DSP technology simulates the multi-surround  
speaker systems of a 35 mm movie theater. This effect creates a wide surround sound field,  
and expands the sound stage with an improved presence image. This program is used for  
musical based movies, as well as drama and comedy based movies.  
PRO LOGIC  
ENHANCED  
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and  
extraordinarily spacious feel of a large stadium.  
STADIUM  
DISCO  
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively  
city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy,  
“immediate” sound.  
In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an  
expansive large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.  
CONCERT HALL  
ROCK CONCERT  
This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively  
sound field.  
This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a  
strictly mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the  
speaker pair, lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used  
with old mono movies, news broadcasts and dialog.  
MONO MOVIE  
This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals.  
For opera, the orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an  
actual concert hall.
