Connections

The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and

multi-channel audio sources.

Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the

ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel 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.

Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.

Surround back left and right speakers (SBL and SBR)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.

Subwoofer (SW)

The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is

effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity sound reproduction

of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. 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.

PREPARATION

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,

this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.

Connecting speakers

Caution

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the AC power plug is disconnected from the AC wall outlet.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage

this unit and/or the speakers. If the speaker wires are short-circuited, “CHECK SP WIRES” appears in the front

panel display when you turn on this unit.

• Use the magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the

speakers away from the monitor.

Connections

■Before connecting to the SPEAKERS

terminal

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables

running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped

differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.

Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red)

terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain

cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation

from the end of each speaker cable and then

twist the bare wires of the cable together to

prevent short circuits.

■Connecting to the FRONT A terminals

1Loosen the knob.

2Insert the bare end of the speaker wire into

the hole on the terminal.

3Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

■Using bi-amplification connections

This unit allows you to make bi-amplification connections

to one speaker system. Check if your speakers support

bi-amplification.

To make the bi-amplification connections, use the FRONT

and SURROUND BACK terminals as shown below. To

activate the bi-amplification connections, set “BI-AMP”

to “ON” in “Advanced setup” (see page 66).

• When you make the conventional connection, make sure that

the shorting bars are put into the terminals appropriately. Refer

to the instruction manuals of the speakers for details.

• When you use bi-amplification connections, you can not use

surround back speakers.

10 mm (3/8”)

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

Caution

Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the

LPF (low pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter)

crossovers.

PREPARATION

Connect the audio components as follows.

■Connecting a CD player, a CD

recorder/MD recorder, and a tuner

• When you connect your CD player via analog and digital

connection, priority is given to the signal input at the DIGITAL

INPUT jack.

• To make a digital connection to a component other than the

default component assigned to each DIGITAL INPUT jack,

select the corresponding setting in “I/O ASSIGNMENT” (see

■Connecting a multi-format player or an external decoder

This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and right FRONT, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and

SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a multi-format player, external decoder, sound processor or

pre-amplifier.

If you set “INPUT CH” to “8ch” in “MULTI CH SET” (see page 59), you can use the input jacks assigned as “FRONT”

in “MULTI CH SET” (see page 59) together with the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to input 8-channel signals.

Connect the output jacks on your multi-format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to

match the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.

• When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 34), this unit automatically

turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.

• This unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We recommend that

you connect at least a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.

*1 The analog audio input jacks assigned as “FRONT” in “MULTI CH SET” (see page 59).

Optimizing the speaker setting for your listening room

24 En

This unit employs the YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) technology which lets you avoid

troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments automatically. The supplied

optimizer microphone collects and this unit analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening

environment.

• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output

during the “AUTO SETUP” procedure.

• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as quiet as

possible while the “AUTO SETUP” procedure is in progress. If

there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be

satisfactory.

You can run “AUTO SETUP” using the system menu that appears

in the OSD or in the front panel display. This manual uses the

OSD illustrations to explain the “AUTO SETUP” procedure.

1Make sure of the following check points.

Before starting the automatic setup, check the following

check points.

❏Speakers are connected appropriately.

❏Headphones are disconnected from this unit.

❏This unit and the video monitor are turned on.

❏This unit is selected as the video input source of

the video monitor.

❏The connected subwoofer is turned on and the

volume level is set to about half way (or slightly

less).

❏The crossover frequency controls of the

connected subwoofer is set to the maximum.

❏FRONT A speakers are selected as the front

speaker system (see page 33).

❏The room is sufficiently quiet.

2Connect the supplied optimizer microphone

to the OPTIMIZER MIC jack on the front

panel.

The following display appears in the OSD.

3Place the optimizer microphone at your

normal listening position on a flat level

surface with the microphone heading

upward.

It is recommended that you use a tripod (etc.) to affix the

optimizer microphone at the same height as your ears would be

when you are seated in your listening position. You can use the

attached screw of a tripod (etc.) to fix the optimizer microphone

to the tripod (etc.).

encoded in DTS on a DTS-incompatible CD player,

you will only hear some unwanted noise that may

damage your speakers. Check whether your CD player

supports CDs encoded in DTS. Also, check the sound

output level of your CD player before you play back a

CD encoded in DTS.

Sound field program descriptions

Category Program Features

MUSIC

Pop/Rock CINEMA DSP processing. This program presents an image of pop, rock, or jazz live

concert. The sound field reproduces the spaciousness of a massive pavilion with an emphasis

on the vividness of vocals on the stage and solo instruments and the beats of rhythm

instruments.

Hall CINEMA DSP processing. This sound field is suitable for classic and orchestral music. The

program uses data collected in a large concert hall in Munich. You can enjoy delicate and

beautiful reverberation and a majestic atmosphere.

Jazz CINEMA DSP processing. The sound field is suitable for jazz and fusion music. It uses data

collected in a famous jazz club in New York. You can enjoy clear reverberation.

ENTERTAINMENT

Game CINEMA DSP processing. You can enjoy dynamic and thrilling sound effects as you play

games. The program lets you feel the depth and three-dimensional surrounding sounds of the

field where you are playing, and offers cinema-like surrounding sound effects for the scenes

of movies.

TV Sports CINEMA DSP processing. You can enjoy sports relays broadcast in stereo and variety shows

with a live sound environment. For sports relays, the voices of commentators and

USING BLUETOOTH™ COMPONENTS

47 En

English

BASIC

OPERATION

You can connect a Yamaha Bluetooth adapter (such as YBA-10, sold separately) to the DOCK terminal of this unit and

enjoy the music contents stored in your Bluetooth component (such as a portable music player) without wiring between

this unit and the Bluetooth component. You need to perform “pairing” the connected Bluetooth adapter and your

Bluetooth component in advance.

Pairing must be performed when using a Bluetooth

component with the Bluetooth adapter connected to this

unit for the first time or if the pairing data has been

deleted. “Pairing” refers to the operation of registering a

Bluetooth component for Bluetooth communications.

• You only need the pairing operation for the first time that you

use the Bluetooth component with the Bluetooth adapter.

• Pairing requires operations on this unit and on the other

component with which Bluetooth communications are to be

established. If necessary, refer to the other component’s

operating instructions.

There are two pairing methods: pairing by using “START

PAIRING” in “SET MENU” and quick pairing.

■Pairing by using “SET MENU”

Use this feature to perform pairing with the video monitor.

Select “START PAIRING” in “INPUT MENU”. See

page 61 for details.

■Quick pairing

1Press 3V-AUX/DOCK to select “V-AUX” as

the input source.

2Turn on the Bluetooth component you want

to pair with.

3Press and hold 6BAND for 3 seconds to

start pairing.

Once the Bluetooth adapter starts pairing,

“Searching...” appears for a moment. While the

Bluetooth adapter is in the pairing mode, DOCK

indicator flashes in the front panel display.

To cancel the pairing, press or 6BAND again.

If the Bluetooth adapter is not connected to the DOCK

terminal of this unit, “No BT adapter” appears in the front

panel display.

4Check that the Bluetooth component detects

the Bluetooth adapter.

If the Bluetooth component detects the Bluetooth

adapter, “YBA-10 YAMAHA” (example) appears in

the Bluetooth device list.

5Select the Bluetooth adapter in the Bluetooth

device list and then enter the pass key

“0000” on the Bluetooth component.

When the pairing procedure is successful,

“Completed” appears in the front panel display.

The Yamaha Bluetooth adapter can be paired with up to eight

Bluetooth components. When pairing is conducted successfully

with a ninth component and the pairing data is registered, the

pairing data for the least recently used other component is

cleared.

1Press JINPUT l / h repeatedly (or press

3V-AUX/DOCK) to select “V-AUX” as the

input source.

2Start playback of your Bluetooth component.

When the connected Bluetooth adapter detects the

Bluetooth component, “BT connected” and the

DOCK indicator appears in the front panel display.

• When you press 7ENTER, the connected Bluetooth adapter

searches and connect to the last connected Bluetooth

component. If the Bluetooth adapter cannot find the Bluetooth

component, “Not found” appears in the front panel display.

• To disconnect the Bluetooth adapter from the Bluetooth

component, press 8RETURN.

Using Bluetooth™ components

Pairing the Bluetooth™ adapter

and your Bluetooth™ component

To ensure security, a time limit of 8 minutes is set for the

pairing operation. You are recommended to read and fully

understand all the instructions before starting.

RECORDING

48 En

Recording adjustments and other operations are performed from the recording components. Refer to the operating

instructions for those components.

• When this unit is set to the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.

• TONE CONTROL (see page 41) and VOLUME settings, speaker levels (see page 41) and the sound field programs (see page 38) do

not affect recorded material.

• The source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.

• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording. Therefore, if

your source component is connected to provide only digital signals, you cannot record the source.

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently through the video circuits of this unit. Therefore, when recording or dubbing

video signals input from a video source component that provides only an S-video or a composite video signal, you can record only an

S-video or a composite video signal on your DVD recorder.

• A given input source is not output on the same OUT (REC) channel.

• The analog audio signals input at the DOCK terminal can be output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording.

• Once you have connected a recording component to this unit, keep the component turned on while using this unit. If the component is

turned off, this unit may distort the sound from other components.

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright

laws.

Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

1Turn on all the connected components.

2Press JINPUT l / h repeatedly (or press

one of the input selector buttons (3)) to

select the source component you want to

record from.

3Start playback on the selected source

component or select a broadcast station.

4Start recording on the recording component.

■Bi-amplification connection

A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a

speaker. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section

of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the

combined mid and tweeter section. With this arrangement

each amplifier operates over a restricted frequency range.

This restricted range presents each amplifier with a much

simpler job and each amplifier is less likely to influence

the sound in some way. The internal crossover of the

speaker consists of a LPF (low pass filter) and a HPF (high

pass filter). As its name implies, the LPF passes

frequencies below a cutoff and rejects frequencies above

the cutoff frequency. Likewise, the HPF passes

frequencies above its cutoff.

■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 designed for

acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room

size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can

differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in

the sound heard. 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 audiovisual

experience of a movie theater in the listening room of your

own home.

■Component video signal

With the component video signal system, the video signal

is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the PB

and PR signals for the chrominance. Color can be

reproduced more faithfully with this system because each

of these signals is independent. The component signal is

also called the “color difference signal” because the

luminance signal is subtracted from the color signal. A

monitor with component input jacks is required in order to

output component signals.

■Composite video signal

With the composite video signal system, the video signal

is composed of three basic elements of a video picture:

color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite

video jack on a video component transmits these three

elements combined.

■Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives

you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3

front channels (front L/R and center), and 2 surround

stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio

channels. With an additional channel especially for bass

effects, called LFE (Low Frequency Effect), the system

has a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1

channel). By using 2-channel stereo for the surround

speakers, more accurate moving sound effects and

surround sound environment are possible than with Dolby

Surround. The wide dynamic range from maximum to

minimum volume reproduced by the 5 full-range channels

and the precise sound orientation generated using digital

sound processing provide listeners with unprecedented

excitement and realism. With this unit, any sound

environment from monaural up to a 5.1-channel

configuration can be freely selected for your enjoyment.

■Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX creates 6 full-bandwidth output

channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a

matrix decoder that derives 3 surround channels from the

2 in the original recording. For the best results, Dolby

Digital EX should be used with movie sound tracks

recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this

additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and

realistic moving sound especially with scenes with

“fly-over” and “fly-around” effects.

■Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to

decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround sources.

This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel

playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center

channel, and 2 surround left and right channels instead of

only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic

technology. There are three modes available: “Music

mode” for music sources, “Movie mode” for movie

sources and “Game mode” for game sources.

■Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete

multi-channel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel

sources. There are three modes available: “Music mode”

for music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources (for

2-channel sources only) and “Game mode” for game

sources.

ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION

■Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4-channel analog recording system

to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front

left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog

(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound

effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces

sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround is

widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs,

and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well. The Dolby

Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital

signal processing system that automatically stabilizes the

volume on each channel to enhance moving sound effects

and directionality.

■DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality

for multi-channel sound on DVD video, and is fully

backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers

to a 96 kHz sampling rate compared to the typical 48 kHz

sampling rate. “24” refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/

24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24

master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-

motion video for music programs and motion picture

soundtracks on DVD video.

■DTS Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog

soundtracks of movies with a 6.1-channel digital sound

track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie

theaters around the world. DTS, Inc. has developed a

home theater system so that you can enjoy the depth of

sound and natural spatial representation of DTS digital

surround in your home. This system produces practically

distortion-free 6.1-channel sound (technically, front left

and right, center, surround left and right, and LFE 0.1

(subwoofer) channels for a total of 5.1 channels). This unit

incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that enables 6.1-channel

reproduction by adding the surround back channel to the

existing 5.1-channel format.

■HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first

industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video

interface. Providing an interface between any source (such

as a set-top box or AV receiver) and an audio/video

monitor (such as a digital television), HDMI supports

standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as

multi-channel digital audio using a single cable. HDMI

transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-

channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to

accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth

Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure

audio/video interface that meets the security requirements

of content providers and system operators. For further

information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at

“http://www.hdmi.org/”.

■LFE 0.1 channel

This channel reproduces low-frequency signals. The

frequency range of this channel is from 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 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.

■MP3

One of the audio compression methods used by MPEG. It

employs the irreversible compression method, which

achieves a high compression rate by thinning out the data

of hardly audible part to the human ears. It is said to be

capable of compressing the data quantity by about 1/11

(128 kbps) while maintaining a similar audio quality to

music CD.

■Neo:6

Neo:6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6-

channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables

playback with the full-range channels with higher

separation just like digital discrete signal playback. There

are two modes available: “Music mode” for music sources

and “Cinema mode” for movie sources.

■PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog

audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without

using any compression. This is used as a method of

recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a

technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per

very small unit of time. Standing for “Pulse Code

Modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and

then modulated for recording.

■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. The range of rates that can

be played back is determined based on the sampling rate,

while the dynamic range representing the sound level

difference is determined by the number of quantized bits.

In principle, the higher the sampling frequency, the wider

the range of frequencies that can be played back, and the

higher the number of quantized bits, the more finely the

sound level can be reproduced.

■SILENT CINEMA

Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic sound effect

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 on headphones.

■S-video signal

With the S-video signal system, the video signal normally

transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted

as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the

chrominance through the S-video cable. Using the S

VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and

allows recording and playback of even more beautiful

images.

■Virtual CINEMA DSP

Yamaha has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm

that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field surround effects

even without any surround speakers by using virtual

surround speakers. It is even possible to enjoy Virtual

CINEMA DSP using a minimal two-speaker system that

does not include a center speaker.

■WAV

Windows standard audio file format, which defines the

method of recording the digital data obtained by

converting audio signals. It does not specify the

compression (coding) method so a desired compression

method can be used with it. By default, it is compatible

with the PCM method (no compression) and some

compression methods including the ADPCM method.

■WMA

An audio compression method developed by Microsoft

Corporation. It employs the irreversible compression

method, which achieves a high compression rate by

thinning out the data of hardly audible part to the human

ears. It is said to be capable of compressing the data

quantity by about 1/22 (64 kbps) while maintaining a

similar audio quality to music CD.
