OUTLINE OF THIS UNIT
Dolby Digital and DTS
This unit features a built-in Dolby Digital decoder and a DTS decoder for reproducing surround sounds of sources encoded
with Dolby Digital or DTS. With such state-of-the-art technologies, this unit can bring the same audio experience to your
home as they have brought to feature films in quality theaters around the world.
Take some time now to read more about these features and enjoy the new experiences this system brings to your home
theater.
DTS (Digital Theater System)
Digital Surround
DTS was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of
movies with six discrete channels of digital soundtracks,
and it is now installed in many theaters around the world.
The DTS digital playback system changed the way we
experienced movies in theaters with six discrete channels
of superb digital audio. DTS technology, through intense
research and development, has made it possible to deliver
similar encode/decode discrete technology to home audio
surround-sound entertainment. DTS Digital Surround is an
encode/decode system which delivers six channels of
master-quality, 20-bit audio; technically, it offers 5.1
channels, which means 5 full-range (left, center, right and
two surround) channels, plus a subwoofer (LFE) channel
(as 0.1). It is compatible with the 5.1 speaker
configurations that are currently available for home theater
systems.
Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses four discrete channels and five
speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects:
two main channels (left and right), a center channel for
dialog, and a surround channel for special sound effects.
The surround channel reproduces sound within a narrow
frequency range.
Most video tapes and laser discs include Dolby Surround
encoding, as do many TV and cable broadcasts. The Dolby
Pro Logic decoder built into this unit employs a digital
signal processing system that stabilizes each channel for
even more accurate sound positioning than is available
with standard analog processors.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that
provides completely independent multi-channel audio to
you. Dolby Digital provides five full-range channels in what
is sometimes referred to as a 3/2 configuration: three front
channels (left, center and right), and two surround
channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided
for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects
that are independent of other channels. (This is called the
LFE channel.) This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving
rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.
The wide dynamic range of sound reproduced by the five
full-range channels and precise sound orientation by digital
sound processing provides listeners with excitement and
realism that have never been experienced before.

Direct sound
Surround sound typically requires several speakers
situated in front of and behind the listening position, which
requires a substantial amount of space that may not always
be available.
In addition to ordinary surround sound reproduction using
several speakers, this unit enables you to enjoy surround
sound effects with only two speakers by using Yamahas
unique Virtual 3D (three-dimensional) technology.
Virtual 3D, which is used by this units sound field
programs, simulates the surround effect provided by
surround and center speakers, creating virtual surround
speakers, as shown, so even with only two front speakers,
you can still enjoy surround sound.
Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)
When you listen to a performance in a concert hall, jazz
club, or other live music venue, you not only hear the direct
sound coming from the musical instruments and singers,
but also the early reflections and natural reverberation.
Early reflections are the initial sound waves that bounce off
the floor, ceiling, and walls. Natural reverberation is made
up of sound waves that gradually attenuate as they bounce
repeatedly off multiple surfaces.
Since the way you hear early reflections and reverberation
depends on the shape and size of the building as well as
the material and construction of the walls and ceiling, each
venue has its own unique sound, called its sound field.
At Yamaha, we have measured all the elements that make
up a typical sound fielddirection and level of the
reflections, band-width characteristics, and delay timesat
famous concert halls and opera houses around the world.
The information gained in this process has been converted
into programs that can be reproduced using Yamahas DSP
technology. Using its on-board DSP, this unit can process
any audio source and recreate the atmosphere of the
original venue.

unit, connect the optical digital input of an MD recorder or a
DAT deck to this units DIGITAL OPT OUT.
Notes
When playing an ordinary CD on this unit following
playback of a CD or an LD encoded with DTS, some
operations, such as resetting the input selector keys, may be
required.
If some data processing (e.g. volume level changes) is applied
to DTS-encoded signals on the CD, DVD or LD player, this
unit will not recognize the signals as DTS-encoded signals.
Because of this, this unit cannot reproduce a DTS-encoded
source played on such a player even if it is connected to this
unit with a digital connection.
When an error occurs in the player’s digital output data
during playback of an LD or CD encoded with DTS,
playback may be disrupted. If this occurs, stop playback and
repower the player.
When digital sound signals from the computer are played,
errors in WAV signals, etc. may occur resulting in noise or a
playback failure.
Notes
Connecting a turntable
A turntable cannot be connected to this unit directly. Use a
commercially available phono preamp to connect a turntable to
this unit, or connect a turntable incorporated with a phono
equalizer amplifier.
The REC OUT and DIGITAL OPT OUT can be used at the
same time since they output signals independently.

Connecting speakers
To reproduce multi-channel surround sounds with this unit,
connect five speakers (Yamaha NS-U40P, etc.) to this unit
as follows: a pair of front speakers to the FRONT L and R
terminals, a center speaker to the CENTER terminal, and a
pair of surround speakers to the REAR L and R terminals.
When using only one pair of speakers, connect one
speaker to the FRONT L terminal, and the other to the
FRONT R terminal.
* When the supplied Application Software is installed on
the computer connected to this unit, the Application
enables you to make Speaker Settings. In the settings,
you can select the speakers to use and not to use, and
also set the sizes of the speakers to use. Refer to page
27 of the separate OPERATION MANUAL for details.

Use speakers which do not have a built-in amplifier.
Use speakers whose impedance is 4 or more.
Connect the left speaker to the left speaker connector on
this unit and the right speaker to the right speaker
connector.
Make sure that the + and – polarity markings of the
speaker cables are observed and set correctly. If these
cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack
bass.

CONNECTIONS
Surround speaker (left)
Front speakers:
On both sides of and at approximately the same height as
your computer monitor.
The distances from each speaker to the listening position
must be the same.
Surround speakers:
Behind your listening position or on both sides of the
listening room. According as the condition of your listening
room, place the surround speakers on the floor or the shelf,
or mount them on the wall.
Center speaker:
Precisely between the front speakers.
* The center speaker can be mounted on the monitor if it
is a magnetically shielded type.
Subwoofer:
On the floor. Place the subwoofer on the position where
you can get the optimum bass performance from the
listening position.
Note
Use magnetically-shielded speakers and subwoofer. If the
monitor picture is disturbed even by using the magnetically-
shielded speakers, set the speakers apart from the monitor.
Setting up the speakers
The role of the respective speakers
In a 5.1-channel surround system, the front speakers are
used for reproducing main channel sound (normal stereo
sound) and effect sound. The surround speakers are used
for surround and effect sounds, and the center speaker is
for center channel sound (dialog, etc.). (The center speaker
can be omitted if you prefer, however, the best result is
obtained with a full five speaker system.)
The subwoofer is used for reproducing low frequency
sounds from the front, center and surround channels. The
subwoofer also reproduces sounds of the subwoofer
channel when a DTS or Dolby Digital encoded source is
played.
Recommended speaker placement
Before making connections, place all speakers in their
respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is
important because it controls the overall sound quality of
this system.
Place the speakers depending on your listening position by
following the instructions below.

Connecting an FM antenna
Connect an FM antenna to the FM ANT terminal of this unit by following the figure and procedures below.
(U.S.A. model)
Plugging in this unit
It is recommended to use an outdoor FM antenna for good
reception.
Depending the area, good reception may not be obtained
because it is far from FM radio stations or obstructed by tall
buildings, mountains, and so on. Select a type of antenna
suitable for your area.
Also, to minimize the effects of automobile ignition noise,
locate the antenna as far away from heavy traffic as
possible.
Use the supplied indoor FM antenna only in areas with
exceptionally good reception.
Insert the antenna connector securely.
* Set the indoor FM antenna as far away from the
computer and the monitor as possible, and set it to a
position where the best reception is obtained.
For connecting an outdoor FM antenna
Use a 75 coaxial cable for connecting the antenna.
If the antenna is located far from this unit, the use of
5C2V cable is recommended to handle the weak radio
signal.
* If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do
not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.
After completing all connections, plug the AC power
cord into a household AC outlet.
Note
Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if this unit is
not to be used for a long period of time.
