Setting Up Your Speaker System

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field

5 Speaker System

4 Speaker System

quality with a full five-speaker system setup, using one extra pairs of

 

 

effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker

 

 

for dialog, when using Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding. We

 

 

therefore recommend that you use a five-speaker setup. A four-

 

 

speaker system using only one pair of effect speakers for the sound

 

 

field will still provide impressive ambience and effects, however, and

 

 

may be a good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade

 

 

to the full five speaker system later.

 

 

Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended

With digital sound field programs No. 5 through No. 16, by using either the Directional Enhancement circuit or the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, decoded signals will be output from the center channel. Therefore, if you want to upgrade the Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended to use the center speaker unit.

If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is possible to enjoy movie viewing without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amp.

This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects.

With sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4, using effect speakers reproduces the effective sound field. With the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 16, the center speaker provides precise center localization.

Center Mode—Set to NRML or WD. (See page 22.)

Simple system without center speaker.

With sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4, a sound effect matching that of a 5-speaker system can be obtained. With sound field programs No. 5 through No. 16, center sound is output from the left and right main speakers.

Center Mode—Set to PHNTM. (See page 22.)
