of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you
use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers
with the same tonal quality.
The main speakers are used fOl the main source sound
plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers
from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are
used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is
for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The rear center
speaker supplements the rear (left and right) speakers and
provides for more realistic front-to-back transitions.
The main speakers should be high-performance models
and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system. The other
speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For
precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use the
models of equivalent performance with the main
speakers.
•Use of asubwoofer expands your
sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of asubwoofer. The use of asubwoofer is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from
any or all channels. but also for reproducing the LFE
(low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when
playing back Dolby Digital or DTS signals. The
YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is
ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.
Refer to the following diagram when you place the
speakers.

•Main speakers
Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance between
each speaker and each side of the video monitor should
also be the same.
•Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front
face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to
the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the
monitor) and centrally between the main speakers.
•Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position.
facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m(6 feet) above the
floor.
•Rear center speaker
Place the rear center speaker in the center between the
rear left and right speakers at the same height from the
floor as the rear speakers.
•Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. because
low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better
to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it
slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall
reflections.
!,!§tll
•If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear. center and/or rear
center). change the settings
of SPEAKER SET items at the
SET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals you
connect speakers to.
CAUTION
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with the monitor.
place the speakers away from the monitor.

SPEAKER SETUP
Connecting the speakers
Be sure to connect the left channel (L). right channel (R), "+" (red) and "-" (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty. no sound
wi II be heard from the speakers. and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect. the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
CAUTION
•Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each
other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit
and/or the speakers.
If necessary. use the
SET MENU to change the speaker mode settings according to the number and size of the speakers
in your configuration after you finish connecting your speakers.
•Speaker cables
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
Twist the exposed
wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits .

•SUBWOOFER jack
When using asubwoofer 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 in accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections. The LFE (low-frequency
effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital
or DTS is decoded are also directed to this jack in accordance with your
SPEAKER SET selections.

•The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.
•If you do not use asubwoofer, designate the signals to the main left and right speakers by changing the setting
of SPEAKER SET

•Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level. It is also possible to adjust the volume level by using this unit's remote
control (see "ADJUSTING

•IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch
WARNING
Do not change setting of the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch when the power of this unit is on. this may damage
the unit. If this unit fails to turn on when STANDBY/ON (or SYSTEM POWER) is pressed. the IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR switch may not be fully slid to either position. If so. slide the switch all the way to either position when
this unit is in the standby mode.
Select the switch position (left
