SPEAKER SETUP
Speakers to Be Used
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound-
field quality with a 6-speaker system, using left and right
main speakers, left and right rear speakers, and a center
and rear center speakers. If you use different brands of
speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system,
the tone of a moving human voice and other types 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 for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. They will probably 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 (dialog, vocals, etc.). If
for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker,
you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained
with the full system.
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 a subwoofer expands your
sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer 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
the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal is played back.
The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.
PREPARATION
Speaker Placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the
speakers.
■Main speakers
Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the video monitor should 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 left
and right rear 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 the wall
reflections.
CAUTION
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with a monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.

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 will 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 and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or 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
A speaker cable is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One of the cables is colored or
shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.
1Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
■Connecting to the SPEAKERS terminals
1Unscrew the knob.
2Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
3Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
10 mm (3/8”)
■MAIN SPEAKERS terminals
One or two speaker systems can be connected to these terminals. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either
of the MAIN A or B terminals.
■REAR SPEAKERS terminals
A rear speaker system can be connected to these terminals.
■CENTER SPEAKER terminals
A center speaker can be connected to these terminals.
■REAR CENTER SPEAKER terminals
A rear center speaker can be connected to these terminals.

•The COMPONENT VIDEO jacks on this unit are independent
of the S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks.
•Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your
monitor. The signals input through the S VIDEO jacks can be
converted to composite signals inside of this unit and output
through the VIDEO jacks on this unit as well.
•When signals input through both S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks,
signals input through the S VIDEO jack has priority.
•You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A
and B jacks according to your component by using “7 I/O
ASSIGNMENT”on the SET MENU (see pages 62 and 63 for
details).
Note
•When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check
the details in the owner’s manual that came with the component

VIDEO jacks.
Connecting Video Components
■About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks.
VIDEO jacks transmit composite signals.
S VIDEO jacks transmit S-video signals.
S-video signals are separated into
luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals
to achieve high-quality color
reproduction.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks transmit
component signals.
Component signals are separated into
luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/
CB, PR/CR) to provide the best quality in
picture reproduction.
Refer to the owner’s manuals for your monitor and other
components being connected to reproduce these signals
correctly.
You can connect an S-video output and component video
output of your video components to this unit. Connect an
S-video output to the S VIDEO jack and component video
output to the COMPONENT VIDEO jack on this unit.

Connecting Audio Components
■Connecting to digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of
digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables.
You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital
and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to
both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given
to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital
input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital
signals.
y
•You can designate the input for each digital jacks according to
your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT”on the SET
MENU (see pages 62 and 63 for details).
About the dust protection cap
Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect
the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you
are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back
in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.
Notes
•DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) jacks are
independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL
OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.
•The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard.
If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this
standard, this unit may not function properly.
■Connecting a turntable
PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM
or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with
a low-output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting
transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to
these jacks.
y
•Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in
the signal. However you may hear less noise without the
connection to the GND terminal for some record players.
■Connecting a CD player
y
•The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a
CD player which has coaxial or optical digital output jacks.
•When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and
OPTICAL CD jacks, priority is given to the input signals from
the COAXIAL CD jack.
■Connecting an MD recorder, tape
deck or CD recorder
y
•DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT(REC) are
independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL
OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT(REC) jacks.
•When you connect your recording component to both the
analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given
to the digital signal.
Notes
•When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its
power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may
distort the sound from other components.
•When you record from a source component connected to this
unit while this unit is set in the standby mode, the recorded
sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn on this
unit.
