Page 16: Connecting Speakers
If you have a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the input terminal of the subwoofer system.
Page 17: How To Connect
How to connect Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed.
Page 18: Antenna Connections
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Each antenna should be correctly connected to the designated terminals, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
Page 19: Adjustments Before Using This Unit
ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES This unit provides you with the following five functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for your audio system. When speaker connections have all been completed, select the proper setting for each function to make the best use of your speaker system.
Page 20: Adjustment Method

When adjusting with the remote control, set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN or DSP position on the remote control. Turn the power on. Front panel Press SET MENU once or more to select the function “CNTR”...
Page 21: Speaker Balance Adjustment
SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center and rear speakers by using the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker.
Page 22 Set BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE to the “0” position. Front panel Press TEST so that “TEST LEFT” appears on the display. Remote control Turn up the volume. Remote control You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from each speaker for about two seconds in following order: left main speaker, center speaker, right main speaker, right rear speaker and left rear speaker.
Page 23 Adjust the sound output levels of the center speaker and the rear speakers so that they become almost the same as that of the main speakers. Press TIME/LEVEL once or more to select the speaker to be adjusted so that “CENTER”, “R SUR.” or “L SUR.” appears on the display.
Page 24: Basic Operation
TO PLAY A SOURCE When using the remote control • Set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN position on the remote control. • To operate the CD player, DVD/LD player, tape deck, MD recorder, or other components with this remote control, set the SELECTOR DIAL to the component to be used.
Page 25 For a DVD/LD or TV/DBS source, the current input mode is also shown. * To change the input mode for the DVD/LD or TV/DBS source, press INPUT MODE (or the button that you have pressed to select the input source in step 3 on the remote control) once or more until the desired input mode is shown on the display.
Page 26 Notes on using INPUT • The audio source selected by INPUT will not be played if the “TAPE/MD MON” indicator lights up or if “EXT. DECDR” is displayed. • If you select a video source by INPUT without canceling the selection of TAPE/MD MON / EXT.

Page 28: Automatic Tuning
Quick automatic-search tuning (AUTOMATIC TUNING) is effective when station signals are strong and there is no interference. However, if the signal from the station you want to select is weak, you must tune in to it manually (MANUAL TUNING). AUTOMATIC TUNING Set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN position on the remote control and select TUNER as the input source.
Page 29: Manual Preset Tuning
MANUAL PRESET TUNING This unit can store station frequencies to be selected by tuning. With this function, you can recall any desired station simply by selecting the preset station number with which it was stored. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 groups) can be stored. To store stations Tune in to the desired station.
Page 30: To Recall A Preset Station
To recall a preset station Select the group of preset stations. Front panel Select the preset station number. Front panel Notes • A new setting can be stored in place of the former one. • For presets, the setting of the reception mode (stereo or Remote control monaural) is stored along with the station frequency.
Page 31 AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNING (for RDS stations only) You can also make use of the automatic preset tuning function for RDS stations only. This function enables the unit to perform automatic tuning and to sequentially store RDS stations with strong signals. Up to 40 stations can be stored automatically in the same way as that for manual preset tuning on page 29.
Page 32: Exchanging Preset Stations
Notes • You can manually replace a preset station with another FM or AM station by simply following the procedure in the section “To store stations” on page 29. • An automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all RDS network frequencies until stations have been stored up to E8.
Page 33: Receiving Rds Stations
RECEIVING RDS STATIONS Radio Data System (RDS) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), etc.
Page 34 PTY SEEK By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset RDS stations that are broadcasting a program of that type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. Press PTY SEEK MODE to set the unit in the PTY SEEK mode.
Page 35: Eon Function
EON FUNCTION This function uses the EON data service on the RDS station network. By simply selecting the desired program type (NEWS, INFO, AFFAIRS or SPORT), the unit will automatically monitor all preset RDS stations that broadcast a program of that type and switch from the program being currently received to that program when the broadcast starts.
Page 36: Setting The Sleep Timer
SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER The SLEEP timer can be used to make this unit automatically switch to the standby mode. When you are going to sleep while enjoying a broadcast or other desired input source, this timer function is useful. The SLEEP timer can only be controlled with the remote control.
Page 37: Sound Field Program
The operation of built-in decoders (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS) can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program incorporating the combined operation of YAMAHA DSP and Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS. 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.

Page 40: Adjustment Method
ADJUSTING THE DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, the Dolby Digital decoder or the DTS decoder, you can adjust the delay time between the main sound and sound effect, and each speaker’s output level as you prefer. Adjustment method When adjusting with the remote control, set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN or DSP position on the...
Page 41: Adjusting The Delay Time
Adjusting the delay time You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value, the later the sound effect is generated. This adjustment can be individually made to all programs.
Page 42: Adjustments In The "Set Menu" Mode
