which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not
be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of
this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.
■The sound level at a given volume setting depends on
speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken
to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which
may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control
setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.
■Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in
an extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:

Dolby Pro Logic Surround
This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar
to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie
theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder,
you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby
Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro
Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro
Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four
levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel
(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels
(used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient
noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even
less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from
the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo
imaging.
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-
recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby
Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound
effects.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you the best performance
without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
This unit designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a
center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4-
Speaker Configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and
surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

(1)5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended
one. In this configuration, the center speaker is
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field
program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO is
selected, conversations will be output from the center
speaker and the ambience will be excellent.
●Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL”
position. (For details, refer to page 12.)

Antenna connection
(1) Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal
and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction where the
strongest signal can be received.
(2) Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wires to the corresponding
terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum
reception. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf etc., or
install it on the rack or wall with screws (not supplied).
Notes
•When static is still heard even after adjusting the position
of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections
(from the upper terminal to the lower terminal, and vice
versa).
•Do not place the AM loop antenna on the unit. It will result
in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital
electronics. Place the AM loop antenna away from the
unit.
(3) External FM antenna
Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM
antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.
(4) External AM antenna
