■ SUBWOOFER jack
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System,
connect the input jack of the subwoofer system to this jack. Low bass signals distributed from the main, center and/or
rear channels are directed to this jack if they are assigned to this jack. (The cut-off frequency of this jack is 90 Hz.) The
LFE (low-frequency effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also directed if they are
assigned to this jack.
Notes
• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on the subwoofer. It is also possible to adjust the volume level by using the
remote control of this unit (see ADJUSTING THE LEVEL OF THE EFFECT SPEAKERS on page 63).
• Depending on the settings of “1 SPEAKER SET” and “10 LFE LEVEL” on the SET MENU, some signals may not be output from
the SUBWOOFER jack.

 CONNECTIONS

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 jack names. Refer to the operation 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 them to the jack with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling
system to all its products.
• After you have completed all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

Connecting Video Components

■ About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite video
signals. Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals.
The S-video signals achieve high-quality color reproduction. Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR) video signals. The jacks are also separated
into three for each signal. The description of the component video jacks may be different depending on the component
(e.g. Y, CB, CR/Y, PB, PR/Y, B-Y, R-Y etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction.

If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can connect it to this unit. Connect the
S-video signal output jack on your video component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jacks
on your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
VIDEO COMPONENT VIDEO y
S VIDEO VIDEO P R/ C R P B/ C B Y
• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite

 DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)

Understanding Sound Fields

INTRODUCTION
A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a
particular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hear
early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound
produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and
other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives
each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.
YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to

PREPARATION
measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music
venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the
direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then
we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this
unit.

■ Recreating a sound field

Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your

OPERATION
listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound

BASIC
field. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.
The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the
virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.

Hi-Fi DSP 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.

1 CONCERT HALL A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from all directions
emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great deal of presence, and your virtual
seat is near the center, close to the stage.

INFORMATION
ADDITIONAL
2 CHURCH This program recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high dome and columns
along each side. The reverberation delay is very long while the early reflections are smaller than
with other sound field programs.

3 JAZZ CLUB This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz club. The
floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering a real and vibrant sound.

4 ROCK CONCERT The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was recorded at
LA’s “hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left of the hall.
APPENDIX

5 ENTERTAINMENT/ This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city. The
Disco sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate”
sound.

Sound Design of CINEMA-DSP

Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread
even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with
the images on the screen.
CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP
integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field
programs to provide the surround sound field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In
CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the right and left Main and
Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources,
and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.
When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the
most suitable sound field program for that signal.

■ Special considerations when using DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second room, you will
only be able to hear the digital noise sound that could damage your speakers.

Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.
For LDs or DVDs encoded with DTS
Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be sent to the second room, as follows:
• LDs
Set your LD player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.
• DVDs
Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital
soundtrack.
For CDs encoded with DTS
DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature for CDs encoded with DTS to avoid unexpected noise.

 DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your

INTRODUCTION
listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.

■ INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)

[P. INT. DLY for the presence sound field] Control Range 1 – 99 msec
Function: This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the
direct sound and the first reflection heard by the listener.
Description: The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther
the apparent distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, and for a

large room, it would be set to a large value.

ADVANCED
[P. ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field] Control Range 0.1 – 2.0
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the
surround sound field becomes.
Description: As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between
the original reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the
reflected sounds, you can change the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from
one to two, doubles the apparent length of the room.

■ LIVENESS Control Range 0 – 10

Function: This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the
early reflections decay.
Description: The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall
surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces
is referred to as “dead”, while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The
LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the
room.

■ S. DELAY (Surround Delay) Control Range 0 – 49 msec (The range

depends on the signal format.)
Function: This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the surround sound.
■ S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay) Control Range 1 – 49 msec
Function: This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side
of the sound field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two rear
channels are used.
■ S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size) Control Range 0.1 – 2.0
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field.
■ S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness) Control Range 0 –10
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.

■ RC. INIT. DLY (Rear Center Initial Delay) Control Range 1 – 49 msec
Function: This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the rear center
sound field.
■ RC. ROOM SIZE (Rear Center Room Size) Control Range 0.1 – 2.0
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the rear center sound field.
■ RC. LIVENESS (Rear Center Liveness) Control Range 0 – 10
Function: This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the rear center sound field.

■ REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) Control Range 1.0 – 5.0 sec

Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to
decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an
extremely wide range.

A monitor with component input jacks is required in
order to use the component signal for output.
■ PCM (Linear PCM)

OPERATION
ADVANCED
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code
modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
