1 2 3 4 5 6 a Installation This unit reflects sound beams off of walls and a ceiling to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to the listening position, walls, and a ceiling is important to achieving the desired surround sound effects. Refer to pages 12 to 16 when installing the unit. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier to connect external devices to this unit first.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Parallel installation Install this unit as close to the exact center of the wall as possible. Example for installing the unit This unit outputs sound beam as shown in the illustrations below. Install this unit where there are no obstacles such as furniture obstructing the path of sound beams. Otherwise, the desired surround sound effects may not be achieved. If the unit is installed so that it is parallel to a wall, install it as close to the exact center of the wall as possible.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Installing in a non-square room Install this unit so that the sound beams can be reflected off the walls. Irregularly shaped rooms that are open to a hallway on one side Irregularly shaped rooms with solid walls on all sides • If this unit cannot be repositioned, or the listening position cannot be changed, the optional YRB-100 sound reflection board may be installed for a better surround sound experience (p. 100).
1 2 3 4 5 6 Example for installing the unit in living room • The legs on a table are not considered obstacles as sound beams normally pass through them. A cupboard installed facing the wall reflects sounds. • As the heavy curtains absorb sounds, the sound features of the listening room is different from the case with the curtain opened and the case with the curtain closed. Using saving settings function enables to save the best settings for each case of listening room (p. 45).
1 2 3 4 5 6 Adjusting sound beams to achieve optimal surround sound effects This unit’s AUTO SETUP (p. 30) can be used to automatically adjust sound beams to achieve the optimal surround playback environment according to the listening room setup.

Beam When “AUTO SETUP” in the “IntelliBeam” menu (p. 31) is used, recommended beam settings are automatically applied by this unit. However, “Horizontal Angle”, “Vertical Angle”, “Beam Travel Length”, “Focal Length” (except “Center”), and “Image Location” settings can later be fine-tuned. The output method for each channel can also be specified in “Beam” menu. • When manually adjusting sound beams for the front channels, set “Front” for “Channel Out” to “Beam”.
Beam Travel Length Setup Menu ➜ Beam Focal Length ➜ Beam Travel Length Specify the distance that sound beams travel for each channel. The distance starts at this unit, ends at the listening position, and includes refraction off a wall and ceiling. The audio delay is adjusted and sound from each channel arrives at the listening position simultaneously. Setup Menu ➜ ➜ Beam Focal Length Expand the optimal listening area (sweet spot).
We recommend using the default setting (-0.5 m or -1.5 ft) for “Center”. Example Left front channel With positive focal lengths Center channel With negative focal lengths Image Location ➜ Setup Menu − ↑ 0 ↓ ＋ Beam ➜ Image Location If sound from the left and right channels is unnatural, first adjust the volume of each channel (p. 43, 75). If this does not resolve the problem, adjust left- and right-channel image location.

Basic Knowledge of Surround Sound What is a Digital Sound Projector? A typical surround sound playback system uses 5 to 7 speakers. To configure a surround sound playback system that enables audio playback in the vertical direction, 2 or more additional speakers should also be installed above the listening position.
What is Object Based Audio? Yamaha’s Audio Technologies With traditional audio technologies, which channels (speakers) should output what types of sounds when creating audio sources was pre-defined. This is called “channel-based audio”. In contrast, new audio systems such as Dolby Atmos use a new technology called object-based audio. This technology processes each sound (e.g.
Glossary Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth Dolby Digital Plus These are values that represent the amount of information used to convert analog signals to digital signals. They may be expressed as 48kHz/24bit, for example. This is a compressed audio format for 7.1 channels developed by Dolby Laboratories. It is fully compatible with Dolby Digital and is available for playback on Dolby Digital-enabled audio systems. It is widely used with Blu-ray Discs.
DTS:X DTS:X is the next generation object-based, multi-dimensional audio technology from DTS. Unbound from channels, DTS:X conveys the fluid movement of sound to create an incredibly rich, realistic and immersive soundscape - in front of, behind, beside and above the audience - more accurately than ever before.
