The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we
recommend. YOUcan use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and
multi-channel audio sources.

_................._
1.8 m (6 It)
0,5to 1 m (1 to 3 ft)
Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effiect sounds. Place these speakers at 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 (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel 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. Place the
center speaker centrally between the front speakers and as
close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or
under it.
Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 It) above
the floor.
Surround back left and right speakers
(SBL and SBR)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround
speakers and provide more realistic front-to-b_tck
transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the
listening position and at the same height as the surround
speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in)
apart, ideally, they should be positioned at the same width
as that of the front speakers.
Presence left and right speakers (PC and PR)
The presence speakers supplement the sound fi'om the front
speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA
DSP (see page 134). These effects include sounds that
fihnmakers intend to locate a little f_rther hack behind the
screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place
these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 to 1 m (1
to 3 it) outside the front speakers, fhcing slightly inward,
and about 1.8 m (6 it) above the floor.
Subwoofer (SW)
The use ofu subwoofer with u built-in amplifier, such as
the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System, is effective not only for reinR)rcing bass
frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high
fidelity sound reproduction of the LFE (low-frequency
effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS
sources. 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 front speakers.
Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce
wall reflections.
13 En

Be sure to connect the lea 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.
•Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 31)
•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this
unit This could damage this unit and/or speakers
•Use magnetically shielded speakers If this type of speaker still creates interference with the
monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor
•If you are to use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set "SP IMP" to "6_MIN" before using this unit (see
page 30) 4 ohm speakers can be also used as the front speakers (see page 118)
•A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a
stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the "+" (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the
plain cable to the "-" (black) terminals.
• The low-frequency signals of other speakers set to "SML"/or "SMALL") or to "NONE" in "SPEAKER SET" (see pages 87 and 89)
are directed to the speakers selected in "LFE/BASS OUT" (see page 87).
• You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, however they do not output sound simultaneously. You can set
to prioritize either set of speakers using the "PRIORITY" parameter in "MANUAL SETUP" (see page 89).
• You can use the PRESENCE terminals to connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers as well as the presence speakers (see page 113).
