REAR SPEAKER PLACEMENT -—
(See Fig. E23 .)
The placement of a rear speaker pair in the listening
room will greatly affect the overall sound field created.
A small pair of speakers is all that is really required to
create the full effect, and the most basic speaker
placement. configuration is the one shown in Fig. A.
This setup is ideal for creating a theater-like
atmosphere for movies and other video programs.
The "B" setup creates a sound field with added
depth, much like that experienced in a live concert
hall, where all the sound is coming at you from the
front. It is most appropriate for musical sources, rather
than videos.
The "C" speaker placement configuration effectively
"widens" the sound field, and is suitable for movies
and other video programs.
While the most basic speaker placement setup is
recommended at first, by experimenting with different
speaker placements for each musical or video source,
and with each surround mode, you will be able to
create a wide variety of sound field effects suited to
your listening environment, and to your own particular
tastes.
SURROUND MODES
e ΠΠ (Dolby) SURROUND
With a great number of movies made today, the
sound track is specially encoded with the Dolby
surround mode for playback in movie theaters
equipped with Dolby surround processing sound
systems. This is responsible for the incredibly lifelike
effect you experience at movie theaters: while dialogue
comes at you from the front speakers, sound effects,
background noise, and other ambient noise in the
sound track comes at you from behind as well. You
are literally surrounded in sound.
Dolby surround is encoded on the sound track of
commercially available video cassettes and video discs
as well. When you play tapes encoded with Dolby
surround on your home video system, the Dolby
surround mode on this unit decodes the signal and
feeds the. sound effects, background noise, ambient
noise, etc. through your rear speakers. |
The Dolby surround mode will have no effect on video
sources not encoded with Dolby surround.

e SIMULATED SURROUND
The Simulated Surround mode is intended for
monaural audio sources, such as video and TV
programs, it creates a surround sound effect, and
employs a comb filter for an extra dimension of depth
and imaging.
e NATURAL SURROUND
The Natural Surround is an exclusive YAMAHA
surround processing mode which is effective with all
music and audio sources of video sound. It creates a
natural, lifelike surround effect without the use of delay
circuitry, adding considerable depth and imaging to all
audio sources. It is recommended for both music
listening and for viewing stereo video sources.
NOTE
If a monaural sound source is used in the Natural
Surround mode, no sound will be heard from the rear
speakers.
® OFF
When the selector is set to OFF, no surround
processing is in effect.

TO PROGRAM SIGNALS FROM OTHER
REMOTE-CONTROL TRANSMITTERS
Before prograrnming
e Some learning keys are larger than others, but all
keys are potentially capable of the same functions if
so programmed.
Keys should be programmed and used according
to their positional convenience.
e Use the included seals to indicate the functions for
which learning Keys have been programmed.
It is recommended that you first determine the best
and most convenient layout of the keys for the
various functions: you plan to program (and attach
the seals accordingly), and then program the keys
correspondingly.
Follow the steps described below to program
signals from other remote-contro! transmitters to
this unit.
1. Set the LEARN-NORM switch to the "LEARN"
