FEATURES OF THE SOUND EFFECTS
Introduction
Welcome to the exciting world of digital home entertainment. This unit is one of the most complete and advanced AV receivers available. Some of the more advanced features may not be familiar to you, but they are easy to use. State-of-the-art technologies such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Systems (DTS) may be new to your home, but you have probably experienced the amazing realism they bring to feature films in theaters around the world. To make the listening experience even more enjoyable, this unit includes a number of exclusive, digitally created listening environments known as digital sound fields. Choosing a sound field program is like transporting yourself to such venues as an outdoor arena, a European church, or a cozy jazz club. Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this unit brings to your home theater.
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 the chances are that 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 to your 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 actual concert halls, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately re-create any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround has been used in movie theaters since the midseventies. It has also been available in home entertainment systems since the late eighties and continues to be a popular format for home theater systems. It uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for even more accurate sound positioning than is available with standard analog processors.
7
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the next level of the Dolby Surround sound system that was developed for 35 mm-film movies by employing low bit-rate audio coding. Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a "3/2" configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), and two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. (This is called the "LFE channel".) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total. Compared to Dolby Surround, which is referred to a "3/1" system (left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby Digital features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full-range fidelity as the three front channels. By using the built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Digital theater sound in your home. The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five fullrange channels and precise sound orientation by digital sound processing provides listeners with excitement and realism that have never been experienced before. Dolby Digital forms 5.1 channels as already mentioned, but it can also form fewer channels, for example 2-channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2-channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with Dolby Digital in the market. Laser disc and DVD are home audio/video program sources that could benefit from Dolby Digital. In the near future, Dolby Digital will also be applied to DBS, CATV and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital encoded video software.

DTS Digital Surround
DTS (Digital Theater Systems) was developed to replace analog soundtracks of movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks, and it is now installed in many theaters around the world. The DTS digital playback system changed the way we experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels of superb digital audio. DTS technology, through intense research and development has made it possible to deliver similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an encode/decode system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it is 5.1 channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel (as "0.1"). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker configurations that are currently available for home theater systems. The DTS Digital Surround algorithm is designed to encode the six channels of 20-bit audio on to some laser discs, compact discs and DVDs with considerably less data compression. By using the DTS decoder built into this unit, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of the DTSinstalled theater's high quality sound in your home. Laser disc, compact disc and DVD are home audio formats by which DTS can present its high-quality multi-channel audio. (In addition to movies on laser discs, many exciting new multichannel music recordings will also become available in the form of DTS-encoded compact discs.)

CINEMA DSP: Dolby Surround + DSP / DTS + DSP
The Dolby Surround sound and DTS systems show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater that uses a multitude of speakers. Trying to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your home is difficult because of the room size, material inside the walls, the number of speakers, and so on. In other words, your listening room is very different from a movie theater. However, YAMAHA DSP technology allows you to create nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your home by compensating for the lack of presence and dynamics in the listening room with original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Surround sounds.
CINEMA DSP
The YAMAHA "CINEMA DSP" logo indicates those programs that are created by the combination of YAMAHA DSP technology and Dolby Surround or DTS.
Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic-decoded sound field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize the surround effect in the room, letting you feel as much presence as if you were watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater. Refer to pages 36 to 37 for the DSP program.
Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 Digital Sound Fields
Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digitaldecoded or DTS-decoded sound field, respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and strong surround effect in the room without losing high-channel separation. With the wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Digital theater or DTS-installed theater. This is the most ideal home theater sound at the present time. Refer to pages 36 to 37 for the DSP program.

SPEAKER SETUP
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. 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. 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. Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field 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) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source that is Dolby Digital or DTS-decoded. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Main:
The position of your present stereo speaker system. Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) up from the floor. Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)
Rear:
Main speaker (R)
Center:
Subwoofer Center speaker Main speaker (L) Rear speaker (R)
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not as critical, because low bass tones are not highly directional.
Rear speaker (L)
Note: If the center speaker (principally, it reproduces dialog, vocals, etc.) is not used, the sound will be output from the left and right main speakers. In that case, be sure to select the NONE position for "CNTR" in the SET MENU mode. (See page 21 for details.)
13
CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (COAXIAL AND/OR OPTICAL) TERMINALS
If your DVD (LD) player, TV/DBS tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to this unit's COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals. Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are necessary, especially for an LD player or a DVD player, to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to this unit. To make a connection between optical digital audio signal terminals, remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards.

When speaker connections have all been completed, select the proper setting for each function to make the best use of your speaker system. (See "ADJUSTMENTS IN THE `SET MENU' MODE" on page 41.)
1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) 2. REAR (REAR SPEAKERS) 4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT) 5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL) DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL/NONE Preset position: LARGE LARGE: Select this position when your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers. SMALL: Select this position when you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are output from the main speakers (or the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SMALL position is selected for "MAIN" and the SW position is selected for "BASS"). NONE: Select this position when you do not have a center speaker (four speaker system). The center channel sound will be output from the left and right main speakers.
3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)
BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH Preset position: SW Select this position if your system does not include a subwoofer. In this position, full-range signals present on the main channels, signals from the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are distributed from other channels are output from the main speakers. SW/BOTH: Select either the SW or BOTH position if your system includes a subwoofer. In either position, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are distributed from other channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. When the LARGE position is selected for "MAIN", in the SW position, no signal is distributed from the main channels to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal; however, in the BOTH position, low bass signals from the main channels are output to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal. MAIN:
REAR (REAR SPEAKERS)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE LARGE: Select this position if your rear speakers have high ability for bass reproduction, or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel to the rear speaker. In this position, full-range signals are output from the rear speakers. SMALL: 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 output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or the main speakers if the MAIN position is selected for "BASS").
M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
Choices: NRML (NORMAL)/10 dB Preset position: NRML (NORMAL) NRML (NORMAL): Normally select this position. 10 dB: 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. Note The settings of "CNTR", "REAR", "MAIN" and "BASS" have no effect on the signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.
MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL Preset position: LARGE LARGE: Select this position if your main speakers have high ability for bass reproduction. In this position, full-range signals present on the main channels are output from the main speakers. SMALL: Select this position if your main speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SW or BOTH position is selected for "BASS".

SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center and rear speakers by using the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor, the Dolby Digital decoder, the Dolby Pro Logic decoder and the DTS decoder. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control. After completing the adjustment of the output level for each speaker, use VOLUME ( ) on the remote control at your listening position to check if the adjustments are satisfactory.

Notes on using INPUT
· The audio source selected by INPUT will not be played if the "TAPE/MD MON" indicator lights up or if "EXT. DECDR" is displayed. · If you select a video source by INPUT without canceling the selection of TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER on the front panel (or TAPE/MD or EXT. DEC. on the remote control), the play back result will be a video image from the video source and the sound from the audio source selected by TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER on the front panel (or TAPE/MD or EXT. DEC. on the remote control). · If an audio source is selected by INPUT while watching a video source, the selected audio source will be played, but the video image will not be interrupted. · When you select an input source by INPUT, the DSP program (or no DSP program) that was being used when the same input source was selected the last time will be automatically recalled. · If "DATA ERR" appears on the display while playing a CD or LD encoded with DTS, stop playback and turn the player off and then on again.
Notes on input mode selection · The input mode for a TV/DBS source is selected with the function "INPUT" in the SET MENU mode. (See page 42 for details.) · Set the input mode to AUTO to play a DVD/LD source encoded with Dolby Digital. · Set the input mode to ANALOG to play a normal 2-channel source with a Dolby Surround program. · The sound output may be interrupted in some LD and DVD players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is made 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 input signal was selected again. · The input mode cannot be changed for the PHONO, TUNER, TAPE/MD, CD, VCR and VIDEO AUX sources because only analog signals are used. · The present input mode appears on the display when the input source is changed to DVD/LD or TV/DBS, or the input mode is changed. Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS If you play a CD or LD encoded with DTS while the AUTO mode is selected, there will be a short noise at first while the unit identifies the DTS signal and activates 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 CD or LD encoded with DTS with the input mode setting left at AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the "DTS-decoding" mode to prevent noise from being generated during future operation. (The red "dts" indicator lights up on the display.) No sound will be heard if a normal PCM CD or LD is played in this mode. (The red "dts" indicator will flash.) To play a normal disk, return the input mode from DTS to AUTO.
Switching the input mode (for DVD/LD and TV/DBS)
This unit allows you to switch the input mode for sources that send two or more types of signal to this unit. The following three input modes are provided. AUTO This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power of this unit. In this mode, the input signal is automatically selected in the following order of priority: 1. 2. Digital signal encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, or normal digital input signal (PCM) Analog input signal (ANALOG)
* For a DVD/LD source, if digital signals are input from both the OPTICAL and COAXIAL terminals, the digital signal from the COAXIAL terminal is selected. DTS In this mode, only a digital input signal encoded with DTS is selected, even though other signals are input at the same time. ANALOG In this mode, only an analog input signal is selected, even though digital signals are input at the same time. Select this mode when you want to use an analog input signal instead of digital input signals.
