CAUTION

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

1. To assure the finest performance, please read this

manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future

reference.

2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away

from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive

vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of

humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or

electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or

water.

3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the

unit, contact your dealer.

4. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection

wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the

power cord and then the wires connected to other

component. Never pull the wires themselves.

5. The openings on the cover assure proper ventilation

of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the

temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly.

Therefore, avoid placing objects against these

openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated area

to prevent fire and damage.

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind,

20 cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel

of the unit to prevent fire and damage.

6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified

on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than

specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other

accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for

any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a

voltage other than that specified.

7. Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere

with other component such as tuners, receivers and

TVs. Move this unit farther away from such

component if interference is observed.

8. Always set VOLUME to the “m” position before

starting the audio source play. Increase the volume

gradually to an appropriate level after playback has

been started.

9. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical

solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean,

dry cloth.

10. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section

regarding common operating errors before

concluding that the unit is faulty.

11. When not planning to use this unit for a long period

of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power

cord from the wall outlet.

12. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC

power cord and disconnect the antenna cable when

there is an electrical storm.

13. Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be

taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit

is not defeated.

14. AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the

AC outlet on the rear panel if that component

requires more power than the outlet is rated to

provide.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source

as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this

unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby

mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a

very small quantity of power.

■ For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug

supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an

appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the

instructions described below.

Note

• The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a

plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live

socket outlet.

■ Special Instructions for U.K. Model

IMPORTANT

THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this

apparatus may not correspond with the coloured

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed

as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to

the terminal which is marked with the letter N or

coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN

must be connected to the terminal which is marked with

the letter L or coloured RED.

Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth

terminal of the three pin plug.

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker Placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the

speakers.

Speakers to Be Used

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality

with a 5-speaker system, using main speakers, rear speakers

and a center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers

(with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a

moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift

smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the

same manufacture or speakers with the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus

the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from

your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for

the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for

the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it

is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without

it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

The main speakers should be high-performance models and

have enough power-handling capacity to accept the

maximum output of your audio system. The other speakers

do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise

sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-

performance models that can reproduce sounds over the full

range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.

■ Use of a subwoofer expands your

sound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the

addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective

not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all

channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency

effect) channel with high fidelity when playing back a

source encoded with Dolby Digital. The YAMAHA Active

Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and

lively bass reproduction.

Main speaker (R)

Subwoofer

Rear speaker (R)

1.8 m

■ Main speakers

Place the right and left main speakers an equal distance

from the ideal listening position. The distance of each

speaker from each side of the TV monitor should be the

same.

■ Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing

slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) above the

floor.

■ Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face

of your TV monitor. Place the speaker as close to the

monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the

monitor and centrally between the main speakers.

Note

• If the center speaker is not used, the sound will be heard from the

right and left main speakers. In that case, “CENTER SP” in the

SET MENU is set to the NONE position. (Refer to page 32 for

details.)

■ Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low

bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to

place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly

toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

CAUTION

Some types of speakers interfere with a TV monitor. If

this problem occurs, move the speakers away from the

monitor. If you cannot avoid installing the center speaker

or subwoofer near the TV monitor, use magnetically

shielded speakers.

CONNECTIONS

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been

completed.

Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some

components require different connection methods and have different terminal names. Refer to the instructions for each

component to be connected to this unit.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or changer), connect

it to the terminals with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling system to all its products.

Use RCA-type pin plug cables for connecting audio/video components with the exception described later.

The input and output terminals for pin plugs can be distinguished as follows:

Yellow video signals (composite)

White analog audio signals for the left channel

Red analog audio signals for the right channel

coaxial digital signals

After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

Connecting the Antennas

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal

strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor

reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality.

Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.

■ Indoor FM antenna (included)

Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The

indoor FM antenna is only a simple antenna. For reception

with better sound quality, installing the outdoor FM antenna

(commercially available) is recommended.

Note

• Do not connect an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM

antenna at the same time.

■ Outdoor FM antenna

You may be unable to obtain good FM radio reception

depending on your local conditions (distance from the

broadcasting station, interposing buildings and

mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or authorized service

center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local

conditions.

Install the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) in

a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid

being affected by automobile ignition noise.

■ Connecting a coaxial cable to the included 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna

adapter (U.K. model only)

1 Open the cover of the included 75-ohm/

300-ohm antenna adapter.

2 Cut the external sleeve of the 75-ohm coaxial

cable and prepare it for connection.

■ Audio signal terminals

Be sure to connect the right channel (R), left channel (L),

input (IN) and output (OUT) properly.

■ Video signal terminals

Be sure to connect the input (IN) and output (OUT)

properly.

■ Digital audio signal terminals

If your DVD/LD player, TV/digital TV or satellite

tuner, etc. has coaxial or optical digital signal output

terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL

and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals. To make a

connection between the optical digital signal terminals,

remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect

them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable

that conforms to EIA standards. Other cables might not

function correctly.

When making connections between the digital signal

terminals, you should connect the components to the same-

named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because a

digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD

recorder or VCR connected to this unit.

PREPARATION

Using the Test Tone

The adjustment of each speaker sound output level should

be performed at your listening position with the remote

control. After completing the adjustments, use VOLUME

(u/d) at your listening position to check if the adjustments

are satisfactory.

1 Press AMP(TUNER) on the

component selector.

2 Press TEST.

“TEST LEFT” appears on the display.

3 Turn up the volume.

You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from each

speaker for about two seconds in following order: left

main speaker, center speaker, right main speaker, right

rear speaker and left rear speaker. The display changes

as shown below.

Notes

• If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set the unit

in the standby mode and check the speaker connections.

• If the test tone cannot be heard from the center speaker, check the

setting of “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU.

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level

balance between the main, center and rear speakers by using

the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is

performed, 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 Dolby Pro Logic decoder and Dolby Digital

decoder.

Before You Start Adjusting

1 Set VOLUME to the “m”

position.

2 Turn the power on.

3 Press SPEAKERS A or B

to select the main

speakers to be used.

If you use two main speaker

systems, press both A and B.

4 Set BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE to the “0”

position.

4 Adjust BALANCE on the

front panel so that the

sound output level of the

right main speaker and the

left main speaker is the

same.

5 Press TIME/LEVEL

repeatedly to select the

speaker to be adjusted.

“CENTER”, “R SUR.” or

“L SUR.” appears on the

display.

6 Press + to raise and – to

lower the level. Adjust the

sound output levels of the

center speaker and the

rear speakers so that they

become almost the same

as that of the main

speakers.

While adjusting, the test tone is

heard from the selected speaker.

Note

• You cannot adjust the delay time while the test tone is being heard

even if “DELAY” appears on the display.

7 When the adjustment is complete, press TEST.

“TEST OFF” appears on the display and the test tone

stops.

Note

• If “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position,

the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted in

step 6. The center channel sound is automatically output from the

right and left main speakers.

y

• Once you have completed the adjustments, you can only adjust

the overall volume level of your audio system by using VOLUME

(or VOLUME (u/d)).

• If there is insufficient sound output from the center and rear

speakers, you may decrease the main speaker output level by

setting “MAIN LVL” in the SET MENU to “–10 dB”. (Refer to

page 33 for details.)
