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. Voltage Selector (China and General Models only) The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110/120/220/240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 12 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) forms 5.1 channels as mentioned on the previous page, and moreover, it can also form fewer channels, for example 2 channel stereo and monaural. You may be able to find some 2 channel stereo and/or monaural sources encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in a market. If a 2 channel stereo source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is played back as the input source and the DSP program No.
Dolby Surround sound system and DTS system show their full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room are much different from those of a movie theater.
SPEAKER SETUP Setting Up Your Speaker System This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using a pair of main speakers to output main source sounds, two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a seven-speaker setup.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS The following list gives you a brief description 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 these sound fields were recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. Note The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to.
3 4 5 6 PROGRAM CHURCH JAZZ CLUB ROCK CONCERT ENTERTAINMENT SUBPROGRAM (TYPE) FEATURE Tokyo The acoustic environment of an ordinary church with moderate reverberations. This is ideal for reproducing church music played by a pipe organ etc. Freiburg This program recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high pointed dome and columns along the sides. This interior produces very long reverberations.
Program No. 7 to 12: CINEMA-DSP programs (for Audio/Video sources) ● These programs use the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, the Dolby Digital decoder or the DTS decoder. ● Speaker output for each program is as follows. No. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11: main, center, rear, front effect No. 12 (Normal): main, center, rear No. 12 (Enhanced): main, center, rear, front effect ● For program No. 7, 8 and 9 only, indicators light up as follows.

If you connect your video cassette recorder, LD player, video monitor, etc. to this unit, you can take advantage of this unit’s capability to display program titles, parameter data and information for various setting changes and adjustments on your video monitor’s screen. This information will be superimposed over the video image. If there is no video source connected or it is turned off, the information will be displayed over a blue colored background.
CREATING YOUR OWN SOUND FIELDS WHAT IS A SOUND FIELD? In order to explain the impressive functions of the DSP, 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.
English SELECTING AND EDITING PROGRAM PARAMETERS This adjustment can be made only by using the remote control transmitter watching the monitor screen or the display panel. Note It is recommended to watch the monitor screen for making adjustments more easily than to watch the display panel. 1 Set the PARAMETER/SET MENU switch to the PARAMETER position. Note: Be sure to use the remote control transmitter with the lid open. 4 Select a desired subprogram.
DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ● ROOM SIZE P. ROOM SIZE (Presence Room Size) How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound. Adjusts the apparent space size of the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the longer the interval between reflections becomes, which increases the depth of the sound source.
P. LIVENESS (Presence Liveness) How it Affects the Sound: This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall. English ● LIVENESS Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the walls on the front presence sound field. The larger the value, the more reflective the front presence sound field becomes. The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity (decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective surfaces.
● REV. DELAY (Reverberation Delay) ● EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim) 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. Performs fine adjustment of the level of all the effect sounds. Control Range: –3 dB to 3 dB ● S.
English SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER If you use the SLEEP timer of this unit, you can make this unit turn into the standby mode. 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.
REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER BASIC OPERATIONS (When the lid is open) The remote control transmitter provided with this unit is designed to control all the most commonly used functions of this unit. If the CD player, tape deck, tuner, LD player, etc. connected to this unit are YAMAHA components designed for remote control compatibility, then this remote control transmitter will also control various functions of each component. * For basic operations, use the remote control transmitter with the lid open.
