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.
English 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.
CONNECTIONS Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed. CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER COMPONENTS When making connections between this unit and other components, be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each component to be connected to this unit. * If you have YAMAHA components numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc.

REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER The remote control transmitter provided with this unit is designed to control all the most commonly used functions of this unit. If the CD player, tuner and tape deck connected to this unit are YAMAHA components designed for remote control compatibility, then this remote control transmitter will also control various functions of each component.

Select the item which you want to adjust by pressing the DELAY/CENTER/REAR/SWFR key and adjust its time or level by pressing the TIME/LEVEL +/– key.
SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center, and rear speakers 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 and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder.

The settings of DSP and the VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls and the BASS EXTENSION switch have no effect on the material being recorded. ● In step 1, do not make an input source selection so that “6ch” appears on the display. Signals input to this unit’s 6CH DISCRETE INPUT DVD/LD TV/DBS terminals cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder or VCR.
Selecting the SPEAKER system Because one or two speaker systems (as main speakers) can be connected to this unit, the SPEAKERS switches allow you to select speaker system A or B, or both at once.
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.

English Adjustment of the CENTER LEVEL If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the center speaker even if the output level is already set in “SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on page 22. 1 Notes ● This adjustment can be made only when the digital sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, or the “6CH” input source mode is selected. Press once or more so that “CENTER” appears on the display.
Adjustment of DELAY TIME You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the effect sound from the rear speakers. The larger the value, the later the effect sound is generated. This adjustment can be made to all programs individually.
English SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER If you use the SLEEP timer of this unit, you can make this unit turn off automatically. When you are going to sleep while enjoying a broadcast or other desired input source, this timer function is helpful. Notes ● The SLEEP timer can be controlled only with the remote control transmitter. ● The components on which the SLEEP timer is effective are the sources connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) on the rear panel of this unit.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. SYMPTOM Firmly plug in the power cord. The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is not set to the upper or the lower end exactly.
