You are the proud owner of a Yamaha stereo amplifier –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 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 TO S VIDEO TERMINALS If you have a video cassette recorder and a monitor equipped with “S” (high-resolution) video terminals, those terminals can be connected to this unit’s S VIDEO terminals. Connect the video cassette recorder’s “S” video input and output terminals to this unit’s S VIDEO VCR 2 IN and OUT terminals respectively, and connect the monitor’s “S” video input terminal to this unit’s S VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal.

How to Connect: 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, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.
English ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS AC OUTLET(S) (SWITCHED) FRONT OUTPUT terminals (Europe and General models) .......... 2 SWITCHED OUTLETS (U.K. and Australia models) ................ 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.
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. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control transmitter.

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; 6 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.

If desired, adjust the delay time and the output level of each speaker. (For details, refer to the corresponding descriptions on this page and the next page.
English Adjustment of the REAR LEVEL If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the rear speakers even if the output level is already set in “SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on page 14. Lights up. By continuously pressing “+” or “–” on the REAR LEVEL control, the level value changes continuously. However, the value stops changing momentarily at the preset point (80). ● 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 make this unit turn 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 the SWITCHED AC OUTLET(S) 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, tuner and tape deck connected to this unit are YAMAHA components, then this remote control transmitter will also control various functions of each component.
