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 majority of the sound output as well as effect sounds.
CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER COMPONENTS Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed. 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, 3, 4, etc.
English Connecting an external decoder for Dolby Digital, DTS and other future formats or a DVD player, etc. If you have a separate Dolby Digital, DTS or other format decoder, or if you have a DVD player or other component which incorporates a Dolby Digital, DTS, or other format decoder, its 6 channel discrete outputs can be connected to the 6CH DISCRETE INPUT terminals of this unit.

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut 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 the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. English How to Connect: Caution Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT SUB WOOFER This terminal is for connecting to the input terminal of an amplifier driving a subwoofer. This terminal outputs low frequencies from the main and center channels. (The cut-off frequency of signals output from this terminal is 150 Hz.) When 6 channel discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.
● ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. 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.
