•Change all batteries if you notice the following conditions:
-the operation range
of the remote control narrows.
-the transmit indicator does not flash
or is dim.
•Do
nO!: use old batteries together with new ones.
This may shorten the Iife
of the new batteries or cause old batteries
to leak.
•Do not use different types
of batteries (sueh as alkaline and
manganese batteries) together. Specification
of batteries may be
different even though
r.hey look the same.
•
If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately,
taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material
comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth,
rinse

This unit supports up to 7.I-channel surround playback. We recommend the following speaker layout in order to obtain
the optimum surround effect.
7.1-channel speaker layout
,'SL SR'I

Speaker channels
•Front left and right speakers (Fl and FR)
The front speakers output the front channel sounds (stereo
sound) and effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal
distance from the ideal listening position. When using a
screen, the appropriate top positions of the speakers are
about 1/4
of the screen from the bottom.
•Center speaker (C)
The center speaker outputs the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). Place it halfway between the left and
right speakers. When using aTV, place the speaker
just
above or just under the center of the TV with the front
surfaces
of the TV and the speaker aligned. When using a
screen, place it just under the center
of the screen.

•Subwoofer (SW)
The subwoofer speaker outputs bass sounds and low-
frequency effect (LFE) sounds included
in Dolby Digital
and DTS signals. Use asubwoofer with abuilt-in
amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System. Place
it exterior to the front left and
right speakers facing slightly inward to reduce reflections
from awall.
•Surround left and right speakers (Sl and SR)
The surround speakers output effect sounds and surround
sounds. Place them at the rear left and rear right facing the
listening position.
To obtain anatural sound flow in the S.I-channel speaker
layout, place them slightly further back than
in the 7.1-
channel speaker layout.
•Surround back left and right speakers (SBl

The surround back left and right speakers output rear
effect sounds. Place them at the rear
of the room facing the
listening position at least 30 cm away from each other,
ideally at the same distance as that between the front left
and right speakers.
In the 6. I-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
right channel sound signals are mixed down and output
from the single surround back speaker.
In the S.I-channel speaker layout, surround back left and

Connec1ting the speaker cable
Caution
• A speaker cable is apair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently
or striped to indicate apolarity. Connect one end
of the colored/striped cable to the "+" (red) terminal of this unit
and the other end to that
of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the "-" (black) terminal of this
unit
ancl the other encl to that of your speaker.
•Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.
•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part
of this unit. This could damage this unit ancl/or
speakers.
If the circuit shorts out, "CHECK SP WIRES!" appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned
on.
•
If your video monitor is aCRT, use magnetically shielded speakers. If images on the monitor are still distorted even
when you use the magnetically shielded speakers, place the speakers away from the monitor.
•Use speakers with an impedance
of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in "ADVANCED SETUP" before
connecting the speakers.
You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set "SP IMP" to
"6QMIN" (see page 64).
