7 PROFILE OF THIS UNIT You are the proud owner of a Yamaha AV receiver an extremey sophisticated audio component. The Digita Sound Fied Processor (DSP) buit into this unit takes advantage of Yamaha s undisputed eadership in the fied of digita audio processing to bring you a whoe new word of istening experiences. Foow the instructions in this manua carefuy when setting up your system, and this unit wi sonicay transform your room into a totay new istening environment. In addition, you get incredibe reaism from sources encoded with Doby Surround using the buit-in Doby Pro Logic Surround Decoder. This unit aso has Karaoke functions. They are usefu for enjoying Karaoke by using not ony mutisound sources for Karaoke, but aso norma music sources with vocas. Furthermore, sound-surrounding effects of the DSP expand your Karaoke enjoyment, in which you wi be absorbed in your singing. Pease read this operation manua carefuy and store it in a safe pace for ater reference. Engish Digita Sound Fied Processing (DSP) What is it that makes ive music so good? Today s advanced sound reproduction technoogy ets you get extremey cose to the sound of a ive performance, but chances are you sti notice something missing: the acoustic environment of the ive concert ha. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic refections that create the ambience of a arge ha has made it possibe for Yamaha engineers to deveop their origina Digita Sound Fied Processing Technoogy to re-create the acoustic environment of a arge concert ha in a home audio istening room. Furthermore, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possibe to capture the acoustics of a variety of venues such as an actua concert ha, ive house, etc. to re-create various types of actua ive performance environments for home audio use. The DSP programs on this unit are made on the basis of this technoogy. Doby Pro Logic Surround This unit empoys a Doby Pro Logic Surround decoder simiar to professiona Doby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Doby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic reaism and impact of Doby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Doby Pro Logic empoys a four channe five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signa into four eves: the eft and right main channes, the center channe (used for diaog), and the rear surround sound channes (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channe aows isteners seated in even ess-than-idea positions to hear the diaog originating from the action on the screen whie experiencing good stereo imaging. Doby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, aser discs, and some TV/cabe broadcasts. When you pay a source encoded with Doby Surround on this unit, the Doby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signa and distributes the surround-sound effects. This Doby Pro Logic Surround Decoder empoys a digita signa processing system. This system improves the stabiity of sound at each channe and minimizes crosstak between channes, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventiona anaog signa processing systems. In addition, this unit features a buit-in automatic input baance contro. This aways assures you the best performance without manua adjustment. Manufactured under icense from Doby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Doby, the doube-d symbo and Pro Logic are trademarks of Doby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Enjoying Karaoke with DSP This unit is a new concept of AV receiver which has Karaoke functions. They are two microphone input jacks, microphone eve contro, echo eve contro, key eve contro and two sound output modes (ONE TOUCH KARAOKE and VOCAL AID) usefu for singing Karaoke by using norma music sources with vocas. In addition, the buit-in digita sound fied processor presents you with four programs which create sound fieds suitabe for singing Karaoke. In those sound fieds, you wi sing Karaoke with great feeing and sometimes excitedy. 5

8 SPEAKER SETUP SPEAKERS TO BE USED This unit is designed to provide the best sound-fied quaity with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker ony instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION shown beow.) The main speakers are used for the main source sound pus the effect sounds. They wi probaby be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (diaog etc.) within programs encoded with Doby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equa in power to the main speakers, athough the rear speakers shoud not be equa. However, a the speakers shoud have high enough power handing to accept the maximum output of this unit. SPEAKER CONFIGURATION 5-Speaker Configuration This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as we as the rear speakers. If the program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY STEREO is seected, conversations wi be output from the center speaker and the ambience wi be exceent. Set the center channe mode to the NORMAL or WIDE position. (For detais, refer to page17.) -Speaker Configuration (without the center speaker) The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is seected, the center sound is output from the eft and the right main speakers. The program DOLBY STEREO is useess in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be amost the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration. Be sure to set the center channe mode to the PHANTOM position.
