SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

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.

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 in 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 and amplifier. 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 with the Dolby Digital decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. When playing back a source using the DSP program,

DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE

THEATER/DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program with the Dolby Digital decoded, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

Note: Set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the “LARGE” or “SMALL” position. (For details, see page 20.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. When playing back a source using the DSP program, DOLBY PRO LOGIC/DOLBY DIGITAL, DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED/

DOLBY DIGITAL ENHANCED, 70 mm MOVIE THEATER/

DIGITAL MOVIE THEATER, MONO MOVIE or TV SPORTS, or when playing back a source which contains center-channel signals (dialog, vocals, etc.) using any DSP program with the Dolby Digital decoded, the center sound is output from the left and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs will be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

Note: Be sure to set the CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) mode to the “NONE” position. (For details, see page 20.)
