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.).
English SPEAKER PLACEMENT When you place speakers, refer to the following. Main: In normal position. (The position of your present stereo speaker system.) Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) up from the floor. Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.) Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.
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 “–”.

MAIN SPEAKER (MAIN) 7. LFE/BASS OUT (BASS) DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION 4.
English METHOD OF CHANGING SELECTIONS Operations should be made watching information on this unit’s display panel or the monitor screen.
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, the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder.
10 Turn up the volume. Remote control a) MUTE Adjust the sound output levels of the center speaker and the rear speakers so that they become almost as same as that of the main speakers. English 8 Press or once or more so that “CENTER”, “R SUR.” or “L SUR.” appears on the display. * Select “CENTER” to adjust the output level of the center speaker, select “R SUR.” to adjust the output level of the right rear speaker, and select “L SUR.” to adjust the output level of the left rear speaker.
ADJUSTMENTS IN THE “SET MENU” MODE The following eight types of functions maximize the performance of your system and expand your enjoyment for audio listening and video watching. 1. CENTER DELAY (C. DELAY) 2. DYNAMIC RANGE (D. RNG) 3. LFE LEVEL (LFE) 4. CENTER SPEAKER (CNTR) 5. REAR SPEAKER (REAR) 6. MAIN SPEAKER (MAIN) 7. LFE/BASS OUT (BASS) 8.
English DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FUNCTIONS 1. CENTER DELAY (Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.)) Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data of sound. In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening. In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position.

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. English Selecting the SPEAKER system Using the BASS EXTENSION switch You can boost bass frequency response by setting this switch to the “ON” position. This switch is effective only on the sound from the main speakers.
TUNING OPERATIONS Normally, if station signals are strong and there is no interference, quick automatic-search tuning (AUTOMATIC TUNING) is possible. However, if signals of the station you want to select are weak, you must tune to it manually (MANUAL TUNING).
English PRESET TUNING MANUAL PRESET TUNING This unit can store station frequencies selected by tuning operation. With this function, you can recall any desired station by only selecting the preset station number where it is stored. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 groups) can be stored.
AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNING You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function for FM stations only. By this function, this unit performs automatic tuning and stores FM stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on page 33.
English EXCHANGING PRESET STATIONS You can exchange the places of two preset stations with each other as shown below.
USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP) 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.
When you select the program No. 1, 2 or 3, and the input signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC3), Dolby Digital (AC-3) is automatically decoded.
ADJUSTING DELAY TIME AND EACH SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVEL In using the digital sound field processor including the Dolby Pro Logic Decoder or the Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder, you can adjust delay time between the main sound and effect sound, and each speaker output level as you prefer. DELAY CENTER Note: These adjustments can be made only when the effect DIGITAL and sound is on.
English Adjusting 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 or front effect speakers. The larger the value, the later the effect sound is generated. This adjustment can be made to all programs individually. Notes ● Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some sources. ● When the –/+ button is pressed, sound is momentarily interrupted.
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. Note The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to.

(The A/B/C switch (F) should be set to the “A” position.) * DIR A, B and A/B are applicable only to double cassette tape deck. * For a single cassette deck with automatic reverse function, pressing DIR A will reverse the direction of tape running. When pressed, this key mutes the volume level. To resume the original volume level, press this key again. While muting, the indicator on the VOLUME control flashes continuously.
English LEARNING NEW CONTROL FUNCTIONS (When the lid is open) This is a learning remote control transmitter. The shaded keys in the illustration shown below can be programmed to “learn” control functions from other remote control transmitters. By learning key-functions from other remote control transmitter, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient.
Note If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the preset function will not be deleted, but disabled. When the learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored. (For information on clearing a learned function, refer to page 52.) About the marks shown on the remote control transmitter The marks on the remote control transmitter signify functions of keys, input sources, etc. Examples) (tape): (disc): (radio wave): Tape deck, VCR, etc. CD player, LD player, etc.
Note When the lid is closed, the EFFECT, MASTER VOLUME, MUTE, TV and VCR keys will function in the same way as when the lid is open. * If the MACRO switch on the side of the remote control transmitter is set to “OFF”, when the lid is closed, the SYSTEM POWER ON and STANDBY keys also will function in the same way as when the lid is open.
MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed) Preset macro keys are originally preset with macros. If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (Refer to page 51 for the learning method.) “Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several operations. The keys shown in the illustrations below (as preset macro keys) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual functions.
English Preset macro keys and the key functions which they carry out sequentially are as follows. (Also, refer to the table on page 45.
LEARNING A NEW FUNCTION 1 Place this remote control transmitter and the other remote control transmitter so that they face each other. 5 Press and hold the key (on the other remote control transmitter) which has the function you want to store.
English MAKING A NEW MACRO A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 48 to know what keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other keys. Note If you store a continuous command such as lowering of volume level, it will become a short command when it is carried out as a part of macro. 1 4 TRANSMIT /LEARN CLEAR LEARN MACRO Flashes slowly.

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. Amplifier SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY The unit fails to turn on when the STANDBY/ON switch is pressed, or turns into the standby mode suddenly soon after the power is turned on.
CAUSE REMEDY FM stereo reception is noisy. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual tuning mode. There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. There is multipath interference.
