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.  
12. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC  
power cord 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.  
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.  
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.  
3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the  
unit, contact your dealer.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Special Instructions for U.K. Model  
IMPORTANT  
THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN  
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:  
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.  
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:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth  
terminal of the three pin plug.  
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.

PREPARATION  
SPEAKER SETUP  
Speakers to Be Used  
Speaker Placement  
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.  
Refer to the following diagram when you place the  
speakers.  
Main speaker (R)  
Rear speaker (R)  
Subwoofer  
Main  
speaker (L)  
1.8 m  
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.  
Center speaker  
Rear speaker (L)  
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.  
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.  
Rear speakers  
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing  
slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the  
floor.  
Use of a subwoofer expands your  
sound field  
Center speaker  
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.  
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 center channel sound will be  
heard from the right and left main speakers. In that case,  
“CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position.  
(Refer to page 26 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:  
V

• If digital signals are input from both the OPTICAL and  
COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIAL  
terminal is selected.  
• If the input mode is set to AUTO for the source, this unit  
automatically determines which type of signal the source  
contains. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the  
decoder automatically switches to the appropriate setting and  
reproduces 5.1 channel sound.  
• The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD  
players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO.  
A search is performed while playing the disc encoded with Dolby  
Digital or DTS, and then disc playing is restored. The sound  
output is interrupted for a moment because the digital signal was  
selected again.  
• The input mode cannot be changed for the CD, TUNER, TAPE/

the input mode as necessary.  
encoded with DTS  
• If “DATA ERROR” appears on the display while playing an LD  
source encoded with DTS, stop playback and turn the player off  
and then on again.  
• If the LD player is transmitting signals by a non-normal method,  
this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this  
case, the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.  
• If the LD source does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect  
the LD player to the analog terminals and set the input mode to  
AUTO or ANALOG.  
• While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded  
with Dolby Digital, if you switch from the pause or chapter  
forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM  
or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital sound is  
played.  
• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any  
way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you  
make a digital connection between this unit and the player.  
• If you play an LD source encoded with DTS and set the input  
mode to ANALOG, there will be the noise of an unprocessed  
DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to  
connect the source to the digital input terminal and set the input  
mode to AUTO or DTS.  
• If you play a source encoded with DTS and set the input mode to  
AUTO, there will be a short noise at first while the unit  
recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is  
not a malfunction, and can be avoided by setting the input mode  
to DTS beforehand. In addition, if you continue to play a source  
encoded with DTS with the input mode setting left to AUTO, this  
unit automatically switches to the “DTS-decoding” mode to  
prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation.  
(The “t” indicator lights up on the display.) The “t”  
indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source  
encoded with DTS has finished. Only a source encoded with DTS  
can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to  
play a normal PCM source soon, set the input mode back to  
AUTO.  
Notes on the digital signal  
The digital input terminal of this unit can also handle  
96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals. (To utilize this, use a  
source that supports 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals  
and set the player for digital output. Refer to the instructions  
for the player.) Note the following when a 96-kHz sampling  
24-bit digital signal is input to this unit.

Normal or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED, no sound will be heard  
from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be  
heard from the center speaker. However, if “CENTER SP” on the  
SET MENU is set to the NONE position, the center channel  
sound is output from the main speakers.  
You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a  
DSP program. Refer to pages 22 to 24 for details about each  
program.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM  
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This 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 outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this  
will, of course, depend on what you are listening to).  
When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) is turned  
on according to which type of signals the source being played contains.  
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 re-creations of actual acoustic environments.  
• The input source given in the following table for programs 4 through 8 indicates that input source which each program  
is best suited for.  
• Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.

Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the  
newest multi-track 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. The  
data for the sound field of an opera house are  
used for the front presence, so the three-  
dimensional feeling of the sound field is  
emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on  
the screen. By using the data for the sound field  
of a concert hall on the surround sound field,  
powerful reverberations are generated. You can

SMALL  
Note  
Select this position if your rear speakers do not have high  
ability for bass reproduction. In this position, low bass  
signals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are distributed to  
the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or to the right and  
left main speakers if “BASS OUT” is set to the MAIN

–10 dB  
• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being  
decoded.  
Select this position if the sound output from the main  
speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound  
output from the center and rear speakers. In this position,  
the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.  
“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum  
level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie  
originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide  
dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the  
original sound track into a home audio format with this  
wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of  
extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for  
home use. Depending on the condition of your listening  
environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound  
output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However,  
at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the  
low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well  
because they will be lost among noise in your environment.  
Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to  
reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home  
audio format by “compressing” the sound data.  
Notes  
• The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and  
“BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the 6CH  
INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.  
• Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REAR  
SP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do not  
have to change any settings unless your speaker system is  
modified.

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps)  
Preset value: 0 dB  
MAX  
In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is  
reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic  
range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in  
a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if  
you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room  
specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.  
Note  
• This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being  
decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital  
contains LFE signals.  
STD (Standard)  
This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE  
signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they  
are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal  
level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.  
In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is  
reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the  
source that is suitable for low-level listening.  
MIN  
In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in  
the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective  
when you must listen to a source at a low level.  
Note  
• It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally  
depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD  
position.

The input mode for a source connected to the D-TV input  
terminals of this unit can be automatically set when the  
power of this unit is turned on. Refer to page 18 for details  
about the input mode.  
This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main  
channels) and dialog, etc. (on the center channel). The larger  
the value, the later the dialog, etc. is generated.  
AUTO  
In this position, the input mode is always set to AUTO.  
This makes sounds from the left main, center and right main  
speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This  
is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if  
the distance from the center speaker to your listening  
position is shorter than the distance from the right and left  
main speaker to your listening position.  
LAST  
In this position, the input mode is automatically set to that  
selected the last time when the power of this unit was turned  
on.

DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS  
When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby  
Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder,  
you can adjust the delay time between the main sound and  
sound effect, and each speaker’s output level as you wish.  
Sound Output Level of the Center,  
Right Rear and Left Rear Speakers,  
and Subwoofer  
If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of each  
speaker even if it has already been adjusted in  
“ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE” on pages 14  
and 15.  
Note  
• When high-rate 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals are input  
to this unit, the delay time and speaker output levels cannot be  
adjusted.  
Notes  
Delay Time  
• The sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted  
when the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded with  
Dolby Digital in 2-channel.  
• If “CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position,  
the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted.  
This is because the center channel sound is automatically output  
from the right and left main speakers.  
You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of  
the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the  
sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value,  
the later the sound effect is generated. The delay time can be  
individually adjusted to all DSP programs.  
• Once the sound output level has been adjusted, the level will be  
the same for all DSP programs.  
Notes  
• Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some  
sources.  
• The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay  
time.

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data  
from being lost when this unit is set in the standby mode.  
If, however, the power cord is disconnected from the AC  
power outlet or the power is cut for more than one week,  
the latest values for the delay time and the center/rear/  
subwoofer output levels that were set will automatically  
return to the preset values. If so, adjust the delay time  
and output levels again.  
Adjustments should be performed with the remote control

Notes  
• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back the source must be connected  
to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter is  
being used without using a DTS decoder, only a loud hissing noise will be heard when you play back the source.  
• The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a  
source encoded with DTS. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from DTS-decoding mode to  
PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.
