a Installation
This unit reflects sound beams off of walls to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to the listening position and walls is important to achieving the
desired surround sound effects. Refer to pages 13 to 17 when installing the unit. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier
to connect external devices to this unit first. This will depend upon the installation location. See pages 24 to 27 for information regarding the connection of external devices.
Caution
• Be sure to install the center unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.

Notes
• The subwoofer speaker is not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the subwoofer.
• Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.

Recommended place for installation
• Install the unit in the center of the left and right walls.

Basic knowledge of surround sound
What is Surround Sound?

What is a Digital Sound Projector?

Surround sound offers the sense of being surrounded by sounds, an
experience common in concert halls and movie theaters. This can be
achieved by surrounding the audience with numerous speakers from
which sound is output uniformly in all directions. This “surround
sound” technology immerses the listener in sound with speakers
positioned not only in front of the listener, but also behind and to the
sides of the listener, making him or her feel as if they are actually in
the situation.
For precise directional control and quality of sound reproduction,
sounds must be split into separate audio channels for output to each
speaker. Surround sound systems for regular home use (7.1-channel
speaker systems) produce surround sound using seven speakers
and a subwoofer, as shown below:

A digital sound projector provides optimal control over the delay time
for each of the compact speakers installed in orderly rows, and
drives the amplifier for each of these speakers, synthesizing audio
signals output from each speaker as highly focused sounds (sound
beams).

Surround speakers

A highly realistic sound field can be created with multiple speakers
installed around the listening position as shown in the illustration
above. However, this can be difficult to do in a living room. The unit
utilizes “digital sound projector” technology, enabling it alone to
provide a realistic and engaging surround sound experience.

These focused sounds possess wave-like characteristics. When they
hit a hard wall, they are reflected off the wall. A digital sound
projector outputs sound beams from five channels, including front
(left/right), center, and surround (left/right) channels, by reflecting
these beams off the walls so that sounds reach the listener from the
appropriate direction. It features a technology that enables true
surround sound without requiring the installation of speakers behind
or to the sides of the listener.
By combining sound beams coming from the front (left/right) and
back (left/right), it can also create two new audio channels for
surround sound playback using 7 channels. With this configuration,
the new audio channels output sounds from surround sound
channels, while sound beams coming from behind the listening
position (left/right) output sounds from surround back channels.

Compressed Music Enhancer
This technology enhances and extends bass and treble, which tend
to be weak in digitally compressed formats such as MP3 used with
portable digital audio players and computers. This makes
compressed audio sound more musically dynamic.

CINEMA DSP
This technology enables precise digital recreation of actual acoustic
environments found in well-known concert halls and movie theaters.
This is achieved using Yamaha’s exclusive sound field programs,
which are based on data measured in various sound fields, and with
which the amplitude, depth, and volume of sounds have been
adjusted.

Glossary
Audio/video information
Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth

Dolby TrueHD

These are values that represent the amount of information used to convert analog signals to digital signals.
They may be expressed as 48kHz/24bit, for example.

This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by Dolby Laboratories for high-definition
disc-based media to deliver sounds that are identical, bit for bit, to studio masters for a great home theater
experience. It delivers up to 8 discrete channels of 24-bit/96-kHz (up to 6 discrete channels of 24-bit/192
kHz) audio simultaneously, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs.

• Sampling Frequency
This defines the number of samples per second (sampling a finite set of discrete values in an analog
signal). The higher the sampling rate, the broader the range of frequencies that can be played back.

• Bit Depth
This defines the amplitude value of sounds when quantifying analog signals as finite values. The higher
the bit depth, the deeper sounds are reproduced.

Deep Color
This is a video technology supported by the HDMI standard. It processes RGB or YCbCr signals at bit
depths of 10, 12, or 16 bits per color, whereas conventional formats utilize only 8-bit processing, enabling
reproduction of more colors. Its gamut is comprised of a billion or more colors, while the gamuts of
conventional formats are comprised of only millions of colors or less. This broader gamut results in more
precise reproduction of colors and greater detail in darker portions.

Dolby Digital
This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It was developed by Dolby Laboratories, and is widely
used with DVD discs.

Dolby Digital EX
This technology enables 6.1-channel playback for sources encoded in the Dolby Digital EX format. It takes
the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel setup one step further with an additional back surround channel.

Dolby Digital Plus
This is a compressed audio format for 7.1 channels developed by Dolby Laboratories. It is fully compatible
with Dolby Digital and is available for playback on Dolby Digital-enabled audio systems. It is widely used
with Blu-ray Discs.

Dolby Pro Logic II
This technology converts audio signal recorded in 2 channels to 5-channel signal. There are three modes
available: “Music mode” for stereo music sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources, and “Game mode” for
game sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx
This technology converts not only audio recorded in 2 channels, but also audio signal recorded in multiple
channels to discrete 7-channel sound. There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music sources,
“Movie mode” for movie sources and “Game mode” for game sources.

DTS Digital Surround
This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels developed by DTS. It is widely used with DVD discs.

DTS Express
This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It provides a higher compression ratio than the DTS
Digital Surround audio format, and was developed specifically for network streaming and Blu-ray Disc
secondary audio.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a compressed audio format for 24-bit/96-kHz superior sound quality with 7.1 channels developed by
DTS. It is fully compatible with DTS Digital Surround, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs.

DTS-HD Master Audio
This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by DTS for high-definition disc-based media to
deliver sounds identical, bit for bit, to studio masters for a great home theater experience. It delivers up to 8
discrete channels at 24-bit/96 kHz (up to 6 discrete channels at 24-bit/192 kHz) audio simultaneously, and is
widely used with Blu-ray Discs.

DTS Neo:6
This technology enables discrete 6-channel playback from 2-channel sources. There are two modes
available: “Music mode” for music sources and “Cinema mode” for movie sources. It provides a channel
split effect similar to sources recorded as discrete surround sound.

HDMI
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a digital audio/video interface that has become an industry
standard around the world. It is capable of transmitting both digital video and audio signals intact via a
single cable. It is also compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard. See
http://www.hdmi.org for more information.

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
This technology records analog audio signals in digital form, converts analog audio signals to digital audio
signals, and transmits analog audio signals in digital form. It is the underlying technology for all digital audio
signal systems, and is widely used with CDs, Blu-ray Discs, and many other types of media as a
uncompressed audio format known as Linear PCM.

x.v.Color
This is a color space supported by HDMI. It has become an international standard for video and offers a
broader gamut than does the sRGB standard for expression of colors never before possible. It expands the
color space while ensuring compatibility with the sRGB standard for more natural and vivid images.
