PREPARATION
English
The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend. You can use it to enjoy the CINEMA DSP and
multi-channel audio sources.
7.1-channel speaker layout
7.1-channel speaker layout is highly recommended to play back the sound of high definition digital audio formats (Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) as well as the conventional audio sources with sound field programs. See page 16
for connection information.
y
We recommend that you also add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program. See page 46 for
details.
Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the
ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel 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.
Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.
Surround back left and right speakers (SBL and SBR)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.
Subwoofer (SW)
The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the high fidelity
sound of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in bitstreams and multi-channel PCM sources. The position of
the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer
near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program. See
page 15 for details.

Center speaker (C)
Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
Subwoofer (SW)
The functions and settings of each speaker are the same as
those for the 7.1-channel speaker layout (see page 13).
Surround back speaker (SB)
Connect a single surround speaker to the SURROUND
BACK (SINGLE) speaker terminals and place the single
surround back speaker behind the listening position. The
surround back left and right channel signals are mixed
down and output at the single surround back speaker when
you set “SUR.B L/R SP” to “SMLx1” or “LRGx1” (see
page 78).
5.1-channel speaker layout

Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
Connect the surround speakers to the SURROUND
speaker terminals even if you place the surround speakers
behind the listening position.
For the smooth and unbroken sound field behind the
listening position, place the surround left and right
speakers farther back compared with the placement in the
7.1-channel speaker layout.
The surround back channel signals are directed to the
surround left and right speakers when “SUR.B L/R SP” is
set to “NONE” (see page 78).

For other speaker combinations
You can enjoy multi-channel sources with sound field programs by using a speaker combination other than the 7.1/6.1/5.1-channel
speaker combinations.
Use the automatic setup feature (see page 37) or set the “SPEAKER SET” parameters in “MANUAL SETUP” (see page 72) to
output the surround sounds at the connected speakers.

PREPARATION
English
Presence left and right speakers (PL and PR)
The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by the sound field
programs (see page 46). We recommend that you use the presence speakers especially for the CINEMA DSP sound field
programs. To use the presence speakers, connect the speakers to SP1 speaker terminals and then set “PRESENCE SP” to
“YES” (see page 78).
You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, but they do not output sound simultaneously. This unit
automatically switches the presence speakers and surround back speakers depending on the input sources and the selected sound field
programs. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the “PRIORITY” parameter in “MANUAL SETUP” (see page 79).

Connections
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a
stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the
plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
You can use the SP1 terminals to connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers as well as the presence speakers (see page 108).
You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, however they do not output sound simultaneously. This unit
automatically switches the presence speakers and surround back speakers depending on the input sources and the selected sound field
programs. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the “PRIORITY” parameter in “MANUAL SETUP” (see page 79).
For the 7.1-channel speaker setting
Connecting speakers
Caution
Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 33).
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.
If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set “SPEAKER IMP.” to “6 MIN” before using this unit (see
page 33). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers (see page 113).
