You are the proud owner of a Yamaha Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP) System--an extremely sophisticated audio component. The DSP system takes full advantage of Yamaha's undisputed leadership in the field of digital audio processing to bring you a whole new world of listening experiences. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully when setting up your system, and the DSP system will sonically transform your room into a wide range of listening environments--anything from a famous concert hall to a cozy jazz club. In addition, you get incredible realism from Dolby-Surround encoded video sources using the built-in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder. Seven built-in channels of amplification on this model mean that no additional amplifiers are required to enjoy advanced digital sound field processing. Rather than tell you about the wonders of digital sound field processing, however, let's get right down to the business of setting up the system and trying out its many capabilities. Please read this operation manual carefully and store it in a safe place for later reference. PRECAUTIONS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST AND VIBRATION Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity--such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage. 8.

Installing the Remote Control Unit Batteries Since the remote control unit will be used for many of this unit's control operations, you should begin by installing the supplied batteries. 1. Turn the remote control unit over and slide the battery compartment cover downward in the direction of the arrow. 2. Insert the batteries (LR6, AA, UM-3 type), being careful to align them with the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment. Batteries English 3. Close the battery compartment cover. 2 1 Remote control 3 * User function stickers After you insert batteries (or you exchange batteries with new ones), press the RESET button before using the remote control unit. RESET button 3 Notes about the Remote Control Unit q Open/close the control door When it is not necessary to operate controls inside the control door, close the door. q When you notice that remote control operation has become erratic, or the distance from which the remote control will function has decreased, it's time to replace the batteries. Always replace all batteries at the same time. This remote control uses an advanced, highly directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the main unit when operating. Remote control transmitter operation range To open the door Remote control sensor To close the door Within approximately 6 m (19.7 feet) 30° 30 ° Notes q There should be no large obstacles between the remote control unit and the main unit. q If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control unit to work incorrectly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. 4 FEATURES This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 10 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments. In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.
