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) V V
White analog audio signals for the left channel L L
Red analog audio signals for the right channel R R
coaxial digital signals C C
After completing all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This 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. You can create outstanding audio sound by selecting a suitable DSP program (this
will, of course, depend on what you are listening to).
When you select a CINEMA DSP program, one of the built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) is turned
on according to which type of signals the source being played contains.
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 re-creations of actual acoustic environments.
• The input source given in the following table for programs 4 through 8 indicates that input source which each program
is best suited for.

■ Dolby Pro Logic + 2 digital sound fields
Digital sound fields are created in both the presence and
rear surround zones of the Dolby Pro Logic-decoded sound
field. They create a wide acoustic environment and
emphasize the surround effect in the room, letting you feel
as much presence as if you were watching a movie in a
popular Dolby Stereo theater.
■ Dolby Digital or DTS + 3 digital sound fields

Digital sound fields are created in the presence zone and
independently on the left and right surround zones of the
Dolby Digital-decoded or DTS-decoded sound field. They
create a wide acoustic environment and strong surround
effect in the room without losing high channel separation.
With the wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS
sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you
were watching a movie in the newest Dolby Digital theater
or DTS-installed theater. This is the most ideal home theater
sound at the present time.

BASIC OPERATION
Notes
• It is necessary to use a DTS decoder to play back a source encoded with DTS, so the player which plays back the source must be connected
to a digital audio input terminal of this unit in the way described in this manual. If this connection is not made or only a D-to-A converter is
being used without using a DTS decoder, only a loud hissing noise will be heard when you play back the source.
• The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a
source encoded with DTS. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from DTS-decoding mode to
PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.
