E-1 GETTING STARTED Unpacking After unpacking, check that the following items are supplied. Remote control POWER Battery installation Since the remote control will be used for many of this unit's control operations, you should begin by installing the supplied batteries. Batteries (AA, R6, UM-3 type) 1 3 2 USB PC AUX1 AUX2 HALL JAZZ CHURCH GAME MOVIE LIVE VDD TEST ON/OFF USB cable A B C 1 MUTE VOLUME Turn the remote control over and remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrow. Insert the batteries (AA, R6, UM-3 type) according to the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment cover. 2 CD-ROM The CD-ROM contains the Application Software and online help for controlling this unit from your computer. 3 Battery replacement If you notice that the remote control must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones. Notes Use AA, R6, UM-3 batteries. Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. If the batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material and avoid contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

DSP PROLOGIC FM AM ST VOL Remote control sensor DSP MUTE Within approximately 6 m (19.7 feet) 30° 30° Notes The area between the remote control and the main unit must be clear of large obstacles. Do not expose the remote control sensor to strong lighting, in particular, an inverter type fluorescent lamp; otherwise, the remote control may not work properly. If necessary, position the main unit away from direct lighting. E-2 CONNECTIONS Never plug in this unit and other equipment until all connections are completed. 1. Make connections between this unit and other components by following the procedure below. 2. After all connections are finished, check that the connection cords are correctly connected. 3. After all connections are completed, plug in this unit and other equipment. CONNECTIONS Note Also, refer to the owner's manual for other equipment in the system. CONNECTIONS Use commercially available connection cords (except the supplied USB cable). The color of this unit's inputs/outputs and connection cords to be used for connecting to them are as follows: White Red Black Orange Audio connection cord (analog/stereo), left Audio connection cord (analog/stereo), right Audio connection cord (analog/monaural) Coaxial digital connection cord L R L R Terminals and their functions 1 ANALOG inputs These connectors are used to connect to the analog outputs of a PC sound card, CD player, MD recorder, tape deck, etc. 2 SUBWOOFER OUTPUT This connector can be connected to an optional subwoofer, such as the Yamaha YST-SW45, for enhanced bass performance. 4 [AP-U70] ANALOG R L 3 SPEAKERS outputs [AP-U70 only] These connectors are used to connect a pair of speakers, such as the Yamaha NS-U30. REC OUT 4 REC OUT [AP-U70 only] These connectors are used to connect to the analog inputs of an MD recorder or tape deck. 1 PC IN AUX 1 IN [DP-U50] PRE OUT AUX 2 IN 4 PRE OUT [DP-U50 only] These connectors are used to connect to the analog inputs (INPUT etc.) of speakers incorporated with an amplifier, or a power amplifier. The level of signals outputted from the PRE OUT varies by the use of the volume control on the front panel or the VOLUME keys on the remote control.

PC COAX IN/OPT IN: These coaxial and optical connectors are used to connect to the digital outputs of a PC sound card, DVD-Video decoder board, etc. English MAINS 6 Optical input & output (DIGITAL) AUX 1 OPT IN: This connector is used to connect to an optical output of a CD player, MD recorder, etc. OPT OUT: This connector is used to connect to an optical input of an MD recorder, a DAT deck, etc. E-3 CONNECTIONS Connecting your computer Audio from your computer can be fed to this unit using any of the following connectors: USB, DIGITAL PC COAX IN, DIGITAL PC OPT IN, or ANALOG PC IN. If you use all of these connectors for connection, you can select the connector(s) to use on this unit's front panel or the remote control. Connecting to the USB port (1) If your computer has a USB port, connect it to this unit's USB terminal using the supplied USB cable, as shown below. A single USB connection is all that's required to listen to audio from your computer on this unit, feed audio from an external source connected to this unit to your computer, and control this unit remotely from your computer, using the supplied Application Software. If your computer doesn't have a USB port, you can still connect it to this unit using the analog or digital input, but in this case you cannot use this unit's Application Software. Note Connect the USB cable when installing the USB driver software on your computer. Refer to the section "INSTALLING USB DRIVER AND APPLICATION SOFTWARE". Connecting to digital inputs (3) To play DVD-Video discs encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, your computer must have a DVD-ROM drive and DVD-Video decoder board, which should be connected to this unit via the DIGITAL PC COAX IN or DIGITAL PC OPT IN. Use a commercially available pin-plug cord for connecting to the DIGITAL PC COAX IN, and use a commercially available optical fiber cable for connecting to the DIGITAL PC OPT IN. Note The DIGITAL PC OPT IN has priority over the DIGITAL PC COAX IN, so if you connect to both inputs, the signal received at the DIGITAL PC OPT IN is used. Protective Caps When connecting to an optical connector, remove its protective cap first. When an optical connector is not being used, replace its cap to prevent dust entering the connector. Connecting to analog inputs (2) Connect the analog audio outputs on your computer or a PC sound card to this unit's ANALOG PC IN. Use a commercially available pin-plug connection cord for connection, and be careful not to mix up the left and right connections. ANALOG R L PC IN : Indicates the direction of signals.

However, it's not necessary to make both connections. Audio connections Be careful not to mix up the left and right connections. [AP-U70 only] If you wish to record analog sound signals inputted to this unit, connect the analog inputs of a tape deck or MD recorder to this unit's REC OUT OUTPUT. LINE OUT CD player R L Digital connections If you wish to record digital sound signals inputted to this unit, connect the optical digital input of an MD recorder or a DAT deck to this unit's DIGITAL OPT OUT.

Use a commercially available phono equalizer amplifier to connect a turntable to this unit, or connect a turntable incorporated with a phono equalizer amplifier. [AP-U70 only] The REC OUT OUTPUT and DIGITAL OPT OUT can be used at the same time since they output signals independently. Notes When playing an ordinary CD on this unit following playback of a CD or an LD encoded with DTS, some operations, such as resetting the input selector keys, may be required. Even if connected to this unit with a digital connection, some CD, LD, and DVD players may make this unit fail to decode DTS or produce noise. This is because certain digital output data processing by such a player results in DTS-encoded data errors that cause playback failure although the same data processing may cause only a slight change in volume or in frequency response in normal digital sound. When an error occurs in the player's digital output data during playback of an LD or CD encoded with DTS, playback may be disrupted. If this occurs, stop playback and repower the player. When digital sound signals from the computer are played, errors in WAVE signals, etc. may occur resulting in noise or a playback failure. E-5 English CONNECTIONS Connecting speakers [AP-U70 only] Connect this unit to your speakers with speaker cables with a proper gauge (keep them as short as possible). Notes Use speakers which do not have a built-in amplifier. Use speakers whose impedance is 6 or more. Connect the left speaker to the left speaker connector on this unit and the right speaker to the right speaker connector. Make sure that the + and ­ polarity markings of the speaker cables are observed and se ...
