PREPARATION STEPS  
In order to enjoy sound and video images with this sound  
Before connecting components  
system, follow the procedures as described below. See  
each page for details.  
• Do not connect this system or other components to the  
mains power until all connections between the  
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 jack names. Refer to the  
operation instructions for each component to be  
connected to this system.  
• Insert the plugs properly. The speakers may not output  
any sound or may output noise if they are not inserted  
properly.  
• The name of jack corresponds to input selector.  
• The VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel of AVR-  
S80 and SW-S80 must be set for your local main  
voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply.  
Voltages are 110-120V/220-240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Speaker placement  
Refer to the following diagram when you place the  
speakers.  
field quality with a 5-speaker system, using front left and  
right speakers, rear left and right speakers and a center  
speaker.  
The front speakers are used for the main source sound  
plus effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for effect  
and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center  
sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).  
Center speaker  
Front speaker (R)  
Subwoofer  
Rear speaker (R)  
Notes  
• If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center),  
change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the SET MENU  
(p.36) to designate the signals to other terminals you connect  
speakers to.  
1.8 m (6 feet)  
• If you use speakers (with different tonal qualities) instead of  
the included speakers, 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 manufacturer or speakers  
with the same tonal quality.  
Front speaker (L)  
Rear speaker (L)  
Front speakers  
Place the front left and right speakers an equal distance  
from the ideal listening position. The distance between  
each speaker and each side of the video monitor should  
also be the same.  
Center speaker  
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front  
face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to  
the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the  
monitor) and centrally between the front speakers.  
Rear speakers  
Place these speakers behind your listening position,  
facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the  
floor.  
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 front speakers. Turn it  
slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall  
reflections.  
Note  
• Although the speaker system in this system is magnetically  
shielded, it may still affect the color on the television monitor  
when using this system near the television. Adjust the relative  
positions of this system and the television if this happens.

speakers on a wall  
When mounting the speakers on a wall, use the holes on  
the speakers’ back panels.  
Place the speaker on TV whose top is flat or on the floor  
under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized.  
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the  
speaker from falling down, put the provided fasteners at  
two points on the bottom of the speaker and the top of the  
TV.

• Do not place the speaker on top of the TV with an inclination.  
• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the seal as  
this will weaken its adhesive strength.  
• Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the fastener is to be  
applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the surface  
is dirty, oily or wet and that this may cause the center speaker  
to drop.  
I Placing the front and rear  
Warning  
speakers  
• Each speaker weighs 0.9 kg (11 lbs. 16 oz.). Do not mount  
them on thin plywood or a wall with soft surface material. If  
mounted, the screws may come out of the flimsy surface and  
the speakers may fall. This damages the speakers or causes  
personal injury.  
• Do not install the speakers to a wall with nails, adhesives, or  
any other unstable hardware. Long-term use and vibrations  
may cause them to fall.  
When placing the front and rear speakers on a flat  
surface, attach the included non-skid pads to the corners  
on the bottom of the speakers as shown below. This  
prevents the speakers from sliding around.  
• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker  
cables, fix them to the wall.  
• Select a proper position on the wall to mount the speaker so  
that no one will injure his/her head or face.

MONO MOVIE  
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The  
program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth by using only the presence  
sound field.  
MOVIE THEATER 1/  
Spectacle  
This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It precisely  
reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field incredibly real.  
This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS  
(especially large-scale movie productions).  
MOVIE THEATER 1/  
Sci-Fi  
This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of science  
fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can  
enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby  
Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques.

MOVIE THEATER 2/  
Adventure  
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and  
multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie  
theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible.  
MOVIE THEATER 2/  
General  
This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is  
characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow.  
It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the echo effect of conversations  
without losing clarity.

q/DTS/Enhanced  
This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film theaters.  
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding  
and digital sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound  
orientation.  
The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from the  
back to the left and right, and toward the screen.  
q/DTS/Normal  
The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects from sources. The highly  
efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound  
positioning smoother and more precise.  
In this program, no DSP effect is applied.  
y
• When you set this system in the standby mode, the current source and DSP program are memorized and are automatically selected  
when you turn on the power again.  
• When you select an input source, this system automatically selects the last DSP program used with that source.  
• The “  
” indicator does not light up when selecting program No. 9 except in Enhanced mode.  
• The acoustics of your listening room affect the DSP program. It is recommended to use a room with fewer sound reflections to  
maximize the effect created by the program.  
Notes  
• There are 9 programs with sub-programs available with this system. However, the selection depends on the input signal format and  
not all sub-programs can be used with all input signal formats.  
• When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/Normal or PRO LOGIC/Enhanced, or PRO LOGIC II Movie, sound will  
be hardly heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. (If “1A CENTER”  
on the SET MENU is set to NON, the center channel sound is output from the front speakers.)

• When an RDS station is being received, do not press  
FREQ/RDS until one or more RDS mode indicators light up on  
the front panel display. If you press the button before the  
indicators light up on the front panel display, the mode cannot  
be changed. This is because this system has not yet received all  
of the RDS data on the station.

Press PTY SEEK MODE twice.  
• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.  
• The RDS data service cannot be utilized by this system if the  
received signal is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode  
requires a large amount of data to be received, so it is possible  
that the RT mode may not be displayed even if other RDS  
modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.  
• RDS data cannot sometimes be received under poor reception  
conditions. If so, press AUTO/MAN’L so that the “AUTO”  
indicator goes off from the front panel display. Although the  
reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when  
you change the display to RDS mode, RDS data may be  
displayed.  
• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference  
during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service  
may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the front  
panel display.

3 SP DLY TIME (speaker delay  
time)  
Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center channel  
sounds. This feature works when there is sound output  
from the center speaker, with a source like Dolby Digital  
or DTS, etc. Ideally, the center speaker should be the  
same distance from the main listening position as the left  
and right speakers.  
4 D. RANGE (dynamic range)  
Use this feature to adjust the dynamic range. This setting  
is effective only when this system is decoding Dolby  
Digital signals.  
The dynamic range can be adjusted for speaker listening  
and headphone listening independently.  
Choices: MAX, STD (standard), MIN (minimum)  
MAX  
However, in most home situations, the center speaker is  
placed in line with the front speakers. By delaying the  
sound from the center speaker, the apparent distance from  
the center speaker to the main listening position can be  
adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance  
Select the “MAX” for feature films.  
STD  
Select the “STD” for general use.  
MIN  
between the front left and right speaker to the listening  
position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker  
is especially important for giving depth to the dialogue.  
Select the “MIN” for listening to sources at low volume  
levels.

GLOSSARY  
Bitstream  
LFE 0.1 channel  
This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data  
(eg., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various  
channels.  
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.  
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.  
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a  
low frequency range compared to the full-range  
reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or  
DTS 5.1 channel systems.  
CINEMA DSP  
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were  
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect  
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and  
designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions,  
such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and  
so on, can differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are  
differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth  
of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses  
YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine  
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to  
provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater  
in the listening room of your own home.  
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)  
PCM is the usual digital method used for music CDs.  
DVDs have a greater volume so they use linear PCM,  
which has a higher sampling rate. Compressed PCM  
signals are called packed PCM (PPCM).  
Matrix 6.1  
The system incorporates Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby  
Digital and DTS multi-channel software that enables 6.1-  
channel reproduction by adding the rear center channel to  
existing 5.1-channel format. (The rear center channel is  
created from rear left and right channels, and outputted  
from virtual rear center speaker.) With this additional  
channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic  
moving sound especially with scenes with “fly-over” and  
“fly-around” effects.  
Decoder  
A decoder restores the coded signals on DVDs to normal.  
This is called decoding.  
Dolby Digital  
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by  
Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio,  
these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large  
amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc  
using this method.  
Sampling frequency and number of  
quantized bits  
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of  
times the signal is sampled per second is called the  
sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when  
converting the sound level into a numeric value is called  
the number of quantized bits.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is  
recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels  
for play. The surround channel is monaural and can  
reproduce up to 7 kHz.  
SILENT CINEMA  
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
DSP algorithm for headphones.  
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound  
field so that accurate representations of all the sound field  
programs can be enjoyed using headphones.  
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to  
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround  
software. This new technology enables a discrete 5-  
channel playback with 2 front channels, 1 center channel,  
and 2 rear channels (instead of only 1 rear channel for  
conventional Pro Logic technology). A music mode is  
also available for 2-channel sources in addition to the  
movie mode.  
Virtual CINEMA DSP  
YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP  
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field  
surround effects even without center or rear speakers by  
using virtual rear speakers.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
This surround system is used in many movie theaters  
around the world. There is good separation between the  
channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.  
Dynamic range  
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level  
of sound that can be heard above the noise of the  
equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion  
occurs.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by  
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and  
clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly,  
without affecting your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from  
loud sounds is often undetectable until it is too late,  
The exclamation point within an equilateral  
triangle is intended to alert the user to the  
presence of important operating and main-  
tenance (servicing) instructions in the  
literature accompanying the appliance.  
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you to avoid  
prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.

of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the  
unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,  
consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug  
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the  
AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug  
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete  
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
3. Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be routed so  
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon  
or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet,  
and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.  
4. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as  
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Glossary  
R
Bitstream  
Frame still and field still  
This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)  
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
There are about 30 frames shown each second.  
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields  
one after the other to create frames.  
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up  
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall  
quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information  
of a frame still so picture quality is lower.  
Decoder  
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is  
called decoding.  
Dolby Digital  
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories.  
Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel  
audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc  
using this method.  
I/P/B  
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with  
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.  
I: Intra coded picture (I-picture)  
Dolby Pro Logic  
This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This  
means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when  
adjusting the picture.  
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 chan-  
nels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is  
monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.  
P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.  
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)  
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures  
so it has the lowest volume of information.  
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.  
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects  
are possible.  
Dynamic range  
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)  
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can  
be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound  
before distortion occurs.  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.  
Playback control (PBC)  
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information  
with menus (called menu play in these instructions).
