SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

English

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration, using main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center 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.

The main speakers should be high-performance models and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system.

The other speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high-performance models that can reproduce sounds over the full range for the center speaker and the rear speakers.

Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source that is Dolby Digital or DTS-decoded. The YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

Rear speaker (R)

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not as critical, because low bass tones are not highly directional.

Note: If the center speaker (principally, it reproduces dialog, vocals, etc.) is not used, the sound will be output from the left and right main speakers. In that case, be sure to select the NONE position for “CNTR” in the SET MENU mode. (See page 21 for details.)
