PROFILE OF THIS UNIT You are the proud owner of this Yamaha stereo receiver –an extremely sophisticated audio component. The Digital Sound Field Processor (DSP) built into this unit takes full advantage of Yamaha’s undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences.
SPEAKER SETUP FOR THIS UNIT SPEAKERS TO BE USED This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker. Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the output of the main source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be the speakers of your present stereo speaker system.
CONNECTIONS Before attempting to make any connections to or from this unit, be sure to first switch OFF the power to this unit and to any other components to which connections are being made. 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.
CONNECTING S VIDEO TERMINALS If your video cassette recorder, video disc player, etc. and your monitor are equipped with “S” (high-resolution) video terminals, connect them to this unit’s S VIDEO terminals, and connect this unit’s S VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal to the “S” video input of your monitor. Otherwise, connect the composite video terminals from your video cassette recorder, video disc player, etc.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut to be as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.
ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS AC OUTLETS FRONT OUT terminals (U.S.A., Canada and General models) ......... 2 SWITCHED OUTLETS and 1 UNSWITCHED OUTLET (Australia model) ...................................1 SWITCHED OUTLET Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit. The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on.
● ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
ADJUSTMENT BEFORE OPERATION Speaker balance adjustment This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. With this adjustment, 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.

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP) This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor, which allows you to expand and shape the audio sound field from both the audio and video sources, for a theater-like experience in the listening/viewing room. This digital sound field processor has 8 programs; 4 programs for audio sources and 4 programs for Audio/Video sources.
Description of Each Sound Field Program PROGRAM PRO LOGIC ENHANCED FEATURE This program reproduces sources encoded with the Dolby Surround. The employment of the digital signal processing system improves crosstalk and transfers the sound source more smoothly and precisely, compared to the conventional type. A stable movie sound field is recreated. This program reproduces sources encoded with the Dolby Surround.

(For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on page 22–23.
Adjustment of DELAY TIME You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the source sound and the beginning of the effect sound with the DELAY TIME control. The DELAY TIME control is effective with all programs. By applying more or less delay, sound effects, background noise, and ambient noise coming at you from the rear speakers can be enhanced or subdued for extra effect. ● By continuously pressing “+” or “–” on the DELAY TIME control, the value changes continuously.
If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the rear speakers with this control even if the output level is already set in “Speaker balance adjustment” on page 12. ● By continuously pressing “+” or “–” on the REAR LEVEL control, the level value changes continuously. However, the value stops changing momentarily at the point which was once set in the “test” mode. ● Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in all the digital sound field programs.
SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER If you use the SLEEP timer of this unit, you can set this unit to be turned 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 a SWITCHED OUTLET on the rear panel of this unit.
