SPEAKER SETUP Setting Up Your Speaker System Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a sevenspeaker setup.
4 Speaker System 5 Speaker System 6 Speaker System 7 Speaker System Simplest system. Good for Audio/Video sources. Good for sound fields from 2-channel stereo sources. This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects. You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear. By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized. When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No.
Speakers and Speaker Placement Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR EFFECT SPEAKERS, plus the CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a subwoofer. The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models and have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system. Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN SPEAKERS.

If you use one subwoofer, connect the MONO SUBWOOFER jack to the INPUT jack of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. MONO If you wish to obtain more presence in your listening room, the use of two subwoofers is recommended.
SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES SUITABLE FOR YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM This unit provides you the following four functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for your audio system. When speaker connections are all completed, select a proper position on each function to make the best use of your speaker system. 1. SPEAKER SET 1A. CENTER SPEAKER(S) 1B. REAR SPEAKERS * 1C. MAIN SPEAKERS * 1D.
1D. LFE/BASS OUT Choices: SMALL/LARGE Preset position: LARGE Choices: MAIN/SW/BOTH Preset position: SW SMALL: Select this position if your main speakers do not have a high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position. In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) at the main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER jacks (if the SW or BOTH position is selected on “1D. LFE/BASS OUT”).
METHOD OF CHANGING SELECTIONS The use of the remote control unit is recommended for simple operation. Operations should be made watching information on this unit’s display panel or the monitor screen. 5. Press ▼ (or ▲) once or more until the title of function on which you will change the selection appears on the display. Remote control 1. Turn the power of this unit on. (If you want to display information on the monitor, turn the power of the monitor on.) Front panel Remote control POWER POWER or 6.
ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE OPERATION This operation uses an internal test-tone generator for balancing the levels of the main, center and effect speakers. 1. Depress the TEST switch on the remote control so that “TEST DOLBY SUR.” appears on the display panel to enter test mode. A hiss-like calibration signal should be heard from the left main speaker, center speaker(s), right main speaker, right rear effect speaker and left rear effect speaker in turn (see diagram).
3. For the front effect speaker level adjustment, depress the TEST switch on the remote control again so that “TEST DSP” appears on the display panel. A calibration signal should be heard from the main speakers and the front effect speakers in turn (see diagram).
This adjustment is important for obtaining the best performance from the internal circuits of this unit. The optimum input level of this unit is pre-adjusted on the basis of the CD source level. This adjustment should be performed on all input sources in your system respectively, so that their levels match the CD source level as closely as possible. 4. Select any other source in your system (VCR, tuner, etc.) and play that source.
ADJUSTMENTS IN THE “SET MENU” MODE The following thirteen types of functions maximize the performance of your system and expand your enjoyment for audio listening and video watching. 1.

Front panel REC OUT VCR 1 SOURCE TAPE 1 LD CD TV/DBS VCR 2 VCR 3/DVD VIDEO AUX Regardless of the setting of the INPUT SELECTOR, when you set the REC OUT selector to CD, the audio signal from your CD player can be recorded by your first tape deck.
NOTE: Composite video and S video signals pass independently through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals between two video cassette recorders, if your source VCR is connected to provide only S video (or only composite video) signals, you can record only a S video (or only a composite video) signal on your second VCR.
3. All sound field programs have two “sub-programs” (see “DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS”). The sub-programs are selected using the PROGRAM Selector on the front panel or the Parameter +/– keys on the remote control unit. The CONCERT HALL 1 program, for example, contains the subprograms “Hall A in Europe” and “Hall B in Europe”. When the CONCERT HALL 1 program is first selected, the “Hall A in Europe” sub-program will be selected and displayed on the front panel.
The EFFECT switch on the front panel and the EFFECT ON/OFF key on the remote control unit make it simple to compare the normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound. To mute the effect sound and monitor only the main sound, press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT switch. Press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT switch a second time to restore normal operation.
DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS 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. * The channel level balance between the left rear effect speaker and the right rear effect speaker may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to.
5. ROCK CONCERT Hall E in Europe: A classic large shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 2200 seats. It has a circular stage and seats located behind the stage. Live Concert: A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. You will experience the sound field with a great deal of presence sitting at about the center position near the stage. This sound field is also effective for karaoke.
7. CONCERT VIDEO 1 Classical/Opera: Recital: 54 8. CONCERT VIDEO 2 This program provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining excessive reverberation. For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an opera.
Mono Movie: 10. MOVIE THEATER 1 This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.). Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a pleasant mix of conversations and picture. Ideal for reproducing video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are Dolby Surround encoded and bear the “DOLBY SURROUND” logo. English 9.
11. MOVIE THEATER 2 Ideal for reproducing video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are Dolby Surround encoded and bear the “DOLBY SURROUND” logo. 70 mm Adventure (When the Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded): 70 mm General (When the Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded): AC-3 Adventure (When the Dolby Surround AC-3 is decoded): AC-3 General (When the Dolby Surround AC-3 is decoded): This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70 mm/AC-3 multi-track films.
Reproduces video discs, video tapes and similar sources which are Dolby Surround encoded and bear the “DOLBY SURROUND” logo.
CREATING YOUR OWN SOUND FIELDS SELECTING AND EDITING PROGRAM PARAMETERS WHAT IS A SOUND FIELD? In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP system, we need to first understand what a sound field really is. What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.
1. With the desired program selected, press the Parameter Select (▼ ▼) key on the remote control unit once. This will recall the next parameter after the program type. In the case of the CONCERT HALL 1 program, for example, this would be the INIT. DLY parameter. You can continue pressing the Parameter Select (▼ ▼) key to select other parameters in sequence. Press the Parameter Select (▲ ▲) key to scroll upward through the parameter list.
DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ● ROOM SIZE ● How it Affects the Sound: How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound. Changes the apparent distance from the source sound. What it Does: Adjusts the timing between the early reflections.
LIVENESS ● REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) English ● How it Affects the Sound: How it Affects the Sound: This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall. The natural reverberation time of a room depends primarily on its size and the characteristics of its inner surfaces. This parameter, therefore, changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.
● REV. DELAY (Reverberation Delay) ● This parameter sets the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound will begin. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like the space of the acoustic environment has become larger. REV. LEVEL (Reverberation Level) This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.
P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay) Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the presence side of the sound field. The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. Control Range: ● Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the rear surround side sound field. The larger the value, the later the surround sound field is generated. * 1 – 49 milliseconds ● S. DELAY (Surround Delay) P.
REMOTE CONTROL LEARNING FUNCTION The remote control unit, in addition to controlling the most commonly used functions of the main unit and other connected Yamaha audio and video equipment, has a sophisticated “learning” function that allows it to control other equipment in your system or other household appliances equipped with infrared remote control receivers.
Erasing All Learned Functions 1. Set the YPC/USER/LEARN switch to “LEARN”. NOTE: If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash on and off eight times. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control units, no further learning is possible. The function learned by any key can be easily changed by repeating the learning process with a different function.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Power does not come on. Hum. No sound. POSSIBLE CAUSE AC cord not properly plugged in. Bad cable connection. Bad or incorrect input connection. Incorrect input source selection. No sound from the effect speakers. The EFFECT switch is set off. A Dolby Surround decoding program is being used with material not encoded with Dolby Surround. The FRONT MIX switch is set to “ON”. PROLOGIC/Normal (or AC-3/Normal) of the sound field program No. 12 is selected.
The remote control unit cannot learn a new function from another remote control unit. Continuous functions such as volume are learned, but operate only for a moment before stopping. POSSIBLE CAUSE The power to this unit is off. WHAT TO DO Turn the power to this unit on. Dead batteries. Wrong distance or angle. Replace batteries. The remote control unit will function from a maximum range of 6 meters, no more than 30 degrees off-axis from the front panel. Change position of the main unit.
