Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for YAMAHA engineers to bring you this same sound in your listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert.
SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminal to maximize system performance. YAMAHA DSP technology made it possible to present you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

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.
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR SWITCH WARNING Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch setting while the power of this unit is on, otherwise this unit may be damaged. IF THIS UNIT FAILS TO TURN ON WHEN THE STANDBY/ ON SWITCH IS PRESSED, the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be fully set to either end.
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.
ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES This unit provides you the following five functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for your audio system. When speaker connections are all completed, select a proper position on each function to make the best use of your speaker system.
ADJUSTING METHOD Operations should be made while watching the information on this unit’s display. If you are using the remote control transmitter, set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN or DSP position on the remote control transmitter. Turn the power on. Front panel Press SET MENU once or more to select the title “1.
SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center and rear speakers 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 23
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. You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from the left main speaker, then the center speaker, then the right main speaker, then the right rear speaker, and then the left rear speaker, for about two seconds each.

TO PLAY A SOURCE Notes • Set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN position on the remote control transmitter. • To operate the CD player, DVD/LD player, tape deck, MD recorder, or other components using this remote control transmitter, set the SELECTOR DIAL to the component to be used.
For the 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 transmitter) once or more until the desired input mode (AUTO or ANALOG) is shown on the display.
Page 27
To play a tape or an MD Press TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER so that the “TAPE/MD MON” indicator lights up on the display, then play the tape or MD. Front panel To stop playing the tape or MD, press TAPE/MD MON / EXT. DECODER twice so that the “TAPE/MD MON”...
TO RECORD A SOURCE TO TAPE OR MD Select the source to be recorded. Front panel Play the source and then turn VOLUME up to confirm the input source. (For detailed information on tuning, see page 29.) Front panel Begin recording on the tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit.
Set the SELECTOR DIAL to the AMP/TUN position on the remote control transmitter and select the tuner by using INPUT. Normally, if station signals are strong and there is no interference, quick automatic-search tuning (AUTOMATIC TUNING) is possible. However, if the signal from the station you want to select is weak, you must tune in to it manually (MANUAL TUNING). AUTOMATIC TUNING Select the reception band (FM or AM) confirming it on the display.
MANUAL PRESET TUNING This unit can store station frequencies 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 31
To recall a preset station (See the illustration on previous page.) 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. •...
AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNING (For RDS stations only) You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function for RDS stations only. Using this function, this unit performs auto- matic tuning and sequentially stores RDS stations with strong signals. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on page 30.
Notes • You can replace a preset station with another FM or AM station manually by simply following the procedures in the section “To store stations” on page 30. • The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all RDS network frequencies until stations are stored up to E8. Even if the number of received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, the search is finished automatically after searching all frequencies.
In areas where RDS broadcasts cannot be received, the RDS broadcast functions do not operate. (In such case, the procedures from pages 34 to 38 are not necessary.) RECEIVING RDS STATIONS RDS (Radio Data System) 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.
CHANGING THE RDS MODES When an RDS station is received, PS, PTY, RT and/or CT that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light up on the display. By pressing RDS MODE, you can change the display mode among the RDS modes employed by the received station in the order shown below.
Page 36
PTY SEEK By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset RDS stations that is broadcasting a program of that type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. For details, see page 37. Press PTY SEEK MODE to turn the unit into the PTY SEEK mode.
Page 37
PROGRAM TYPES IN THE PTY MODE NEWS News: Short accounts of facts, events and publicly expressed views, reportage and actuality. Current affairs: AFFAIRS Topical program expanding or enlarging upon the news, generally in different presentation style or concept, including documentary debate, or analysis.
EON FUNCTION This function uses the EON (Enhanced Other Networks) data service on the RDS station network. By simply selecting a desired program type (NEWS, INFO, AFFAIRS or SPORT), the unit will automatically monitor all preset RDS stations that broadcasts a program of that type and switch (from the program currently received) to that program when the broad- cast starts.
SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER If you use the SLEEP timer of this unit, you can 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 be controlled only with the remote control transmitter.
USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The 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.
