 PROFILE OF THIS UNIT
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field
Processor (DSP) built into this unit 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 Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated
sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture

SPEAKER SETUP
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with
this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker
Configuration” shown below.)
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 etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main
speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to
accept the maximum output of this unit.

How to Connect:
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. 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.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage
this unit and/or speakers.

If you use two center speakers, the impedance of
each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.

Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance

of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.
<Except Canada model>
If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance
of each speaker must be 16Ω or higher.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram.
● Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal
strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience
poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround
decoder.

 USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-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.

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 a corresponding DSP
program including a combined operation of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround.

Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field 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.
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.

PROGRAM FEATURE

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC 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
PRO LOGIC
systems of a 35 mm movie theater. This effect creates a wide surround sound field, and expands the
ENHANCED
sound stage with an improved presence image. This program is used for musical based movies, as well as
drama and comedy based movies.

This program is effective for music videos and gives excellent depth and clarity for vocals. For opera, the
CONCERT VIDEO
orchestra and stage are ideally recreated, letting you feel as if you were in an actual concert hall.

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
MONO MOVIE
immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono movies, news
broadcasts and dialog.

This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily
STADIUM
spacious feel of a large stadium.

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. The
DISCO
sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.

ROCK CONCERT This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively sound field.

In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an expansive large
CONCERT HALL
hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.
