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 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 SETTING UP 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.
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. English CONNECTIONS 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 SPEAKERS Rear speakers Right Front speakers A Left Right Left SPEAKERS REAR L CENTER R SPEAKERS REAR R TAPE REC OUT IN VCR L A A B B OUT Right Left Center speaker Front speakers B 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.
● ● 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. 5 CENTER MODE 4 ENHANCED CNCT VIDEO PRO LOGIC SUR.

COPY * To dub from tape to tape, refer to the “Notes” shown at right. * When you select LD/TV, TUNER, CD or PHONO, make sure that neither TAPE nor VCR is also selected.
Because one or two speaker systems (as front speakers) can be connected to this unit, the SPEAKERS switches allow you to select speaker system A or B, or both at once. Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls BASS TREBLE 0 0 English Selecting the SPEAKER system SPEAKERS A B ON ON OFF OFF — Adjusting the BALANCE control Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker location or listening room conditions.
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). 1 2 3 AUTOMATIC TUNING 1 MANUAL TUNING 1 Select the reception band (FM or AM) while watching the display. FM/AM FM/AM or FM 2 Select the reception band (FM or AM) while watching the display. AM 2 TUNING MODE “AUTO TUNING” goes off.
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 pages) can be stored. 3, 1 2, 5 4, 2 To store stations 1 To recall a preset station Tune to a desired station. (Refer to the previous page for tuning procedures.) 1 Select the page where the preset station is 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 17. 1 2 To store stations 1 When the automatic preset tuning is finished FM/AM FM The display shows the frequency of the last preset station.
English EXCHANGING PRESET STATIONS You can exchange the places of two preset stations each other by easy operations. 2, 4 Example) If you want to shift the preset station on E1 to A5, and vice versa. 1 2 Recall the preset station on E1 (by following the method of “To recall a preset station” on page 17). 4 EDIT EDIT Flashes 3 Next, recall the preset station on A5 by following the same method with step 1. Shows the exchange of stations is completed.
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 6 programs; 4 programs for digital sound field processing and 2 programs for the Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound system (DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED).
English Description of Each Sound Field Program The following list gives brief descriptions 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 them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.
To play a source with the digital sound field processor 2 3 1 2 Follow steps 1 – 6 shown in “OPERATIONS” on page 13. Turn the DSP on, so that a DSP program name appears on the display. Notes ● If you prefer to cancel the DSP, press the EFFECT switch again. The sound will be the normal 2-channel stereo without surround sound effect. ● In the CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK CONCERT and CONCERT HALL modes, no sound is heard from the center speaker.
English Adjustment of the CENTER level If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the center speaker with this control even if the output level is already set in “Speaker balance adjustment” on page 12. ● If the digital sound field program is in the CONCERT VIDEO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL mode, this adjustment is unnecessary. ● Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED modes.
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.
The remote control transmitter provided with this unit is designed to control all the most commonly used functions of the unit. If the CD player, turntable and tape deck connected to this unit are YAMAHA components, then this remote control transmitter will also control various functions of each component. English REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER KEY FUNCTIONS For Control of This Unit * Refer to “SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER” on the previous page. POWER SLEEP PLAY PHONO PAUSE/STOP CD Turns the power on/off.
STANDBY mode (Europe model only) While the power is on, pressing the POWER key on the remote control transmitter switches the unit to the STANDBY mode. (In this mode, the indicator is half illuminated.
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 CAUSE Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely inserted. Firmly plug in the power cord. No sound or no picture. Incorrect output cord connections.
