PREPARATION STEPS In order to enjoy sound and video images with this sound system, follow the procedures as described below. See each page for details. Installing batteries in the remote control (P.3) Speaker setup (P.11) • Speaker placement (P.11) • Installing the speakers (P.12) Connections (P.14 – 19) • Connecting TV and audio/video components (P.14) • Connecting the antennas (P.16) • Connecting the speakers (P.17) • Connecting the AC power cord (P.19) • Turning on the power (P.
SPEAKER SETUP Speaker placement Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers. The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). Center speaker PREPARATION This unit has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with a 5-speaker system, using front left and right speakers, rear left and right speakers and a center speaker.
SPEAKER SETUP ■ Mounting the front and rear speakers Installing the speakers ■ Placing the center speaker Place the speaker on TV whose top is flat or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided fasteners at four points on the bottom of the speaker and the top of the TV. When mounting the front and rear speakers on a wall, use the holes on the speakers’ back panels.
SPEAKER SETUP 3 Hang the holes on the protruding screws. 60 mm ■ If you want to mount a speaker on a commercially available speaker stand (for the front/rear speakers) 60 mm • Make sure that the screws are securely caught by the narrow parts of the holes. • You can use the lower holes on the rear of the front/rear speakers. 60 mm PREPARATION The screw holes (at an interval of 60 mm) on the bottom and the rear of the speaker can be used to mount the speaker on a speaker stand.

CONNECTIONS Connecting the antennas Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals. ■ Connecting the AM loop antenna 1 Set up the AM loop antenna, then connect it. 2 Press and hold the tab to insert the AM loop antenna lead wires into the AM ANT and GND terminals. ■ Connecting indoor FM antenna Connect the included indoor FM antenna to the FM ANT terminal.
CONNECTIONS Connecting the speakers Connect the included speakers to the DVD AUDIO/VIDEO receiver (DVR-S100) using the included speaker cables and system connector cables as shown below. DVD Audio/Video receiver (DVR-S100) IN IN VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 OUT VIDEO IN OUT IN IN IN As this terminal is used for testing at the factory, do not connect any equipment to this terminal.
CONNECTIONS (RED) ■ Using commercially available speakers and speaker cables The back of the Subwoofer (RED) Connector Color tube (RED) (BLUE) Connector Color tube (BLUE) (BLUE) You can use commercially available speaker cables and speakers except for a subwoofer. If you use them, note the following. • Use the speaker whose impedance is 6Ω or higher. When using the speaker whose impedance is lower than 6Ω, the protection circuit may start working or this unit may be damaged.
CONNECTIONS Connecting to an external amplifier Note • When you have connected this unit to an external amplifier, select PRE in “9 SP/PRE OUT” on the SET MENU. (See page 63.) 1 FRONT jacks Front channel line output jacks. 2 REAR jacks Rear channel line output jacks. 3 CENTER jack Center channel line output jack. 4 SUBWOOFER jack Low bass signals distributed from the front, center and/or rear channels are directed to this jack if they are assigned to this jack.
ADJUSTING SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS This section explains how to adjust speaker output levels using the test tone generator. When this adjustment is complete, the output level heard at the listening position should be the same from each speaker. This is important for best performance of the digital sound field processor, and the various decoders (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS).

GLOSSARY Bitstream Dolby Pro Logic II This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (eg., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels. Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software. This new technology enables a discrete 5channel playback with 2 front channels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels (instead of only 1 rear channel for conventional Pro Logic technology).
GLOSSARY Interlace and progressive output Matrix 6.1 NTSC, the video signal standard, has 525 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 525p. The 525i video signals output from this unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, PB / CB, PR/CR) allow you to enjoy higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the video output terminal or S VIDEO OUT terminal.
GLOSSARY SILENT CINEMA YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed using headphones.
