The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend. You can use it to enjoy the CINEMA DSP and
multi-channel audio sources.
•7.1-channel speaker layout
7. I-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback the sound of high definition audio formats (Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.)
as well as the conventional audio sources with sound field programs. See page 14
for connection information.
We recommend that you also add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program. See page 13 for
details.

Speaker indications
FUFR: Front left/right
C: Center
SUSR: Surround left/right
SBUSBR: Surround back left/right
SW: Subwoofer
Front leftand right speakers
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the
ideal listening position. The distance ofeach speaker from each side ofthe video monitor should
be the same.
Center speaker
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.
Surround leftand right speakers
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.
Surround back left and right speakers
The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.
Subwoofer(s)
The use of asubwoofer with abuilt-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the high fidelity
sound
of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. You can connect one or
two subwoofer(s) to this unit. When you use two subwoofers, you can enjoy deeper bass sound. 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. Tum it slightly toward the center
of the room to reduce wall reflections.
~\¥-:.
When you use two subwoofers, select the same type of the subwoofer as another and set these subwoofers as same sound characteristics.
Place each subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position. The signal output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT 2jack
is the
same as the one output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT Ijack.

Surround back speaker
Connect asingle surround speakers to the SURROUND
BACK SINGLE speaker terminal and place the single
surround back speaker behind the listening position. The
surround back left and right channel signals are mixed
down and output at the single surround back speaker when
you set "SUR.B LlR SP" to "SMLxI" or "LRGxI" (see

Surround left and right speakers
Connect the surround speakers to the SURROUND
speaker terminals even if you place the surround speakers
behind the listening position. For the smooth and
unbroken sound field behind the listening position, place
the surround left and right speakers farther back compared
with the placement in the 7.I-channel speaker layout. The
surround back channel signals are directed to the surround
left and right speakers when "SUR.B LlR SP"
is set to
"NONE" (see page 88).
For other speaker combinations
You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field programs by using aspeaker combination other than the 7.1/
6.1/5. I-channel speaker combinations.
Use the automatic setup feature (see page 32) or set the "SPEAKER SET" parameters
in "MANUAL SETUP" (see
page 87) to output the surround sounds at the connected speakers.

•Using presence speakers
The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front and surround back speakers with extra ambient effects
produced by the sound field programs (see page 48).
You can adjust the vertical position of dialogues with using the
presence speakers (see page 75).
To use the presence speakers, connect the speakers to the EXTRA
SP terminal (see page 14) and set "EXTRA SP
ASSIGN" to "PRESENCE" (see pages
33 and 87).

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), "+" (red) and "-" (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.
Caution
•Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the AC power plug is disconnected from the AC wall outlet.
•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or let them touch any metal part
of this unit. This could damage
this unit and/or the speakers. If the speaker wires are short-circuited, "CHECK SP WIRES" appears
in the front
panel display when you tum on this unit.
•Use the magnetically shielded speakers. If this type
of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.
•Ifyou are to use 6ohm speakers, be sure to set
"SP IMP." to "60 MIN" before using this unit (see page 28). 4ohm
speakers can be also used as the front speakers. For details about the speaker impedance setting, see page
109.
