IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
i
• Explanation of Graphical Symbols
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an 
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the 
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within 
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient 
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle 
is intended to alert you to the presence of important 
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in 
the literature accompanying the appliance.
1Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions 
should be read before the product is operated.
2Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions 
should be retained for future reference.
3Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the 
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions 
should be followed.
5Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before 
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by 
the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – 
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or 
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; 
and the like.
8Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, 
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, 
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious 
damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, 
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold 
with the product. Any mounting of the product should 
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a 
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9A product and cart combination should be moved with care. 
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may 
cause the product and cart combination to 
overturn.
10 Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided 
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the 
product and to protect it from overheating, and these 
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings 
should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, 
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not 
be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack 
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s 
instructions have been adhered to.
11 Power Sources – This product should be operated only from 
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If 
you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, 
consult your product dealer or local power company. For 
products intended to operate from battery power, or other 
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12 Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped 
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having 
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the 
power 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.
13 Power-Cord Protection – 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, paying particular 
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the 
point where they exit from the product.
14 Lightning – For added protection for this product during a 
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for 
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and 
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent 
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line 
surges.
15 Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be 
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other 
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such 
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna 
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching 
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be 
fatal.
16 Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension 
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result 
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17 Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind 
into this product through openings as they may touch 
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result 
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on 
the product.

as opening or removing covers may expose you to 
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to 
qualified service personnel.
19 Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the 
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel 
under the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R* 
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and 
multi-channel audio sources.
*ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU 
(International Telecommunication Union).
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. Place the 
center speaker centrally between the front speakers and as 
close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or 
under it.
Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround 
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening 
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above 
the floor.
Surround back speaker (SB)
The surround back speaker supplements the surround 
speakers and provides more realistic front-to-back 
transitions. Place this speaker directly behind the listening 
position and at the same height as the surround speakers.
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 hi-fi 
stereo 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, 
no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be 
unnatural and lack bass.
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is set to the standby mode (see page 27).
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this 
unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the 
monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.
• If you are to use 4 or 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set “SP IMP.” to “6ΩMIN” before using this unit 
(see page 26).
• 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 ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the 
plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
• The low-frequency signals of other speakers set to “SML” (or “SMALL”) or to “NONE” in “SPEAKER SET” (see pages 78 and 79) 
are directed to the speakers selected in “LFE/BASS OUT” (see page 79).

CONNECTIONS
You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL 
and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the signals input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are compatible with 96-kHz 
sampling digital signals.
■Audio jacks
This unit has four types of audio jacks. Connection 
depends on the availability of audio jacks on your other 
components.
AUDIO jacks
For conventional analog audio signals transmitted via left 
and right analog audio cables. Connect red plugs to the 
right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.
DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL jacks
For digital audio signals transmitted via coaxial digital 
audio cables.
DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL jacks
For digital audio signals transmitted via optical digital 
audio cables.
Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber 
optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the 
optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects 
the jack from dust.
PORTABLE jack

audio mini cables.
■Video jacks
This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection 
depends on the availability of input jacks on your video 
monitor. When “VIDEO CONV.” is set to “ON” (see 
page 85), the video signals input at the VIDEO and S 
VIDEO jacks are converted and output at the VIDEO, S 
VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks 
interchangeably.
VIDEO jacks
For conventional composite video signals transmitted via 
composite video cables.
S VIDEO jacks
For S-video signals, separated into the luminance (Y) and 
chrominance (C) video signals transmitted on separate 
wires of S-video cables.

Compression artifacts (such as the MP3 format) are 
created by a lossy compression scheme where the audio is 
resampled to lower the bitrate and to remove sounds that 
are indistinguishable to typical human hearing. The 
Compressed Music Enhancer feature of this unit enhances 
your listening experience by regenerating the missing 
harmonics in a compression artifact. As a result, flattened 
complexity due to the loss of high-frequency fidelity as 
well as lack of bass due to the loss of low-frequency bass 
is compensated, providing the improved performance of 
the overall sound system.
• The Compressed Music Enhancer mode is compatible with the 
PCM signals (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz) and the analog 2-
channel input sources.
• The Compressed Music Enhancer mode is not effective with 
any of the sound field programs.
• When the Compressed Music Enhancer mode is turned on while 
an incompatible input source is being played back, “Not 
Available” appears in the front panel display and in the OSD.
• When the input source is changed to an incompatible input 
source while the Compressed Music Enhancer mode is turned 
on, the Compressed Music Enhancer mode is automatically 
turned off and the incompatible input source is played back in 
2-channel or 6-channel stereo.

RECORDING
44
Recording adjustments and other operations are performed from the recording components. Refer to the operating 
instructions for those components.
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in 
noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources encoded in DTS, the 
following considerations and adjustments need to be made. To play DTS-encoded DVDs and CDs 
(when using a digital audio connection) on your DTS-compatible player, follow its operating 
instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player.
• When this unit is set to the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.
• The settings of TONE CONTROL (see page 32), VOLUME, the speaker level (see page 80) and the sound field programs (see 
page 64) do not affect the recorded material.
• The source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.
• 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 VCR.
• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording. Likewise, 
analog signals input at the AUDIO IN or PORTABLE jacks are not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your source 
component is connected to provide only digital or analog signals, you can only record digital or analog signals.
• A given input source is not output on the same OUT (REC) channel.
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright 
laws.
• The XM Satellite Radio (U.S.A. model only) signals cannot be output at the AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks.
• The analog audio signals input at the DOCK terminal can be output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

SOUND FIELD 
PROGRAMS
What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In 
addition to making the sound live, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated as well as the size and 
shape of the room in which we are sitting.
■Elements of a sound field
There are two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to make up the sound field in addition to the direct sound 
coming straight to our ears from the player’s instrument.
Early reflections
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms to 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one 
surface only (for example, from a wall or the ceiling). Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.
Reverberations
These are caused by reflections from more than one surface (for example, from the walls, and the ceiling) so numerous 
that they merge together to form a continuous sonic afterglow. They are non-directional and lessen the clarity of the direct 
sound.
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent reverberations taken together help us to determine the subjective size and 
shape of the room, and it is this information that the digital sound field processor reproduces in order to create sound 
fields.
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you would be 
able to create your own listening environment. The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall, a 
dance floor, or a room with virtually any size at all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what YAMAHA 
has done with the digital sound field processor.
• Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program.
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with the corresponding input source.
• Sound field programs cannot be selected when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input 
source (see page 37).
• Sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz (except for DTS 96/24 signals) are sampled down to 48 kHz and then sound field programs 
are applied.
■Front panel operations
Press PROGRAM l / h on the front panel 
repeatedly.
The name of the selected sound field program appears in 
the front panel display and in the OSD.
■Remote control operations
Set the component selector switch to AMP and 
then press one of the sound field program 
selector buttons on the remote control 
repeatedly.
The name of the selected sound field program appears in 
the front panel display and in the OSD.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS
This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from 
almost any stereo or multi-channel sound source. This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field 
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.
y
The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set “INPUT MODE” 
to “AUTO” (see page 34) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.
• The DSP sound field programs of this unit are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken 
in the actual concert hall, music venue, movie theater, etc. Thus, you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming 
from the front, back, left and right.
• Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program itself.
■For movie/video sources
You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI” 
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel 
stereo sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.
y
Press PROGRAM l / h on the front panel repeatedly (or set the component selector switch to AMP and then press one of the sound 
field program selector buttons on the remote control) to select the desired sound field program (see page 63).

■Sound field parameter descriptions
You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so that the sound fields are recreated accurately in your 
listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.
y
To change sound field parameter settings to suit your listening environment, see page 66 for details.
Sound field parameter Features
DSP LEVEL DSP level. Adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range. Depending on 
the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect level 
relative to the level of the direct sound.
Control range: –6 dB to +3 dB
INIT.DLY
P.INIT.DLY
S.INIT.DLY
SB INI.DLY
Initial delay. Presence, surround, and surround back initial delay. Changes the apparent distance 
from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection 
heard by the listener. The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The 
larger the value, the farther it seems. For a small room, set to a small value. For a large room, set 
to a large value.
Control range: 1 to 99 ms (INIT.DLY and P.INIT.DLY)

ROOM SIZE
P.ROOM SIZE
S.ROOM SIZE
SB ROOM SIZE
Room size. Presence, surround, and surround back room size. Adjusts the apparent size of the 
surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound field becomes. As the 
sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between 
the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the 
reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter 
from one to two doubles the apparent length of the room.
Control range: 0.1 to 2.0
LIVENESS
S.LIVENESS
SB LIVENESS
Liveness. Surround and surround back liveness. Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the 
hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound 
source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which 
has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as 
“dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. This parameter lets 
you adjust the early reflection decay rate and thus the “liveness” of the room.
Control range: 0 to 10

REV.TIME Reverberation time. Adjusts the amount of time taken for the dense, subsequent reverberation 
sound to decay by 60 dB at 1 kHz. This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment 
over an extremely wide range. Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening 
room environments, and a shorter time for “live” sources and listening room environments.
Control range: 1.0 to 5.0 s
REV.DELAY Reverberation delay. Adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and 
the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound 
begins. A later reverberation sound makes you feel as if you are in a larger acoustic environment.

DIRECT
2-channel stereo direct. Bypasses the decoders and DSP processors of this unit for pure hi-fi 
stereo sound when playing 2-channel analog sources.
Choices: AUTO, OFF
y
• The “AUTO” setting bypasses the decoders and DSP processors only when “BASS” and 
“TREBLE” are set to 0 dB (see page 32).
• When multi-channel signals (Dolby Digital and DTS) are input, they are downmixed to 2 
channels and output from the front left and right speakers.
• The low-frequency signals input from the front left and right speakers are redirected to the 
subwoofer in the following cases:
– “LFE/BASS OUT” is set to “BOTH” (see page 79).
– “FRONT SP” is set to “SMALL” (see page 78) and “LFE/BASS OUT” is set to “SWFR” 
(see page 79).

SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS
Sound output from each speaker depends on the type of audio signals being input. Refer to the diagrams in the table 
below to understand the speaker layout for each sound field program.
Be advised that there may be no or not enough sound output from speakers depending on the type of input source being played back. 
Furthermore, there may be some channels that can only be used partially when they are adjusted to specific aspects of movies, such as 
special sound effects, etc.

ADDITIONAL 
INFORMATION
■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.
■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 Theater Systems)
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. Digital Theater Systems 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.
■ITU-R
ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU 
(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R 
recommends a standard speaker placement which is used 
in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering 
purposes.
GLOSSARY

104
GLOSSARY
■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.
■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.
■Neural Surround
Neural Surround™ represents the latest advancement in 
surround technology and has been adopted by XM 
Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of surround 
recordings and live events in surround sound. Neural 
Surround™ employs psychoacoustic frequency domain 
processing which allows delivery of a more detailed sound 
stage with superior channel separation and localization of 
audio elements. System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 
7.1 multi-channel surround playback.
■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.
■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.
■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.

INFORMATION
■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 movie theater in the listening room of your 
own home.
■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.
■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.
