SPEAKER SETUP
SPEAKER SETUP
Speaker placement
Since CINEMA DSP and THX are different surround post-processing technologies, we recommend the following speaker setup in order to enjoy the best surround sound of each technology.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it.
CINEMA DSP speaker layout
PL
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
PR
C
FL FR
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.
30°
Surround back speakers (SBR and SBL)
The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the listening position and at the same height as the surround speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in.) apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width as the front speakers.

Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, 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 high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. 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.

The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R speaker setup. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX.

Presence speakers (PR and PL)
Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP (see page 38). These effects include sounds that filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. Place these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m (1 - 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound. Place these speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

SPEAKER SETUP
Di-pole speaker layout
Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please place the surround and surround back speakers according to the speaker layout below.
FL
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the "+" (red) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the "" (black) terminals.

Speaker connections
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), "+" (red) and "" (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no sound can be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. · CAUTION If you intend to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit's speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see page 28). Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit's power is off. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers. Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.
Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side of each terminal. Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

Introduction
This unit employs YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) technology which lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening environment. Notes
· Please be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output during the auto setup procedure. · If auto setup stops and an error message(s) appear on the GUI display, follow the troubleshooting on page 35.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system.
Note
After you have completed the auto setup procedure, be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone. If it is left connected to this unit, no sound will be output from the speakers.
Wiring
Checks the polarity of each speaker.
Distance
Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the timing of each channel.
2
Size
Checks the speaker's frequency response and sets the appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel.
Place the optimizer microphone on a flat level surface with the omni-directional microphone head upward, at your normal listening position. * If possible, use a tripod (etc.) to affix the optimizer microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.
Equalizing
Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel's parametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly important if you use different brands or sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique sonic characteristics. YPAO equalizing calibration incorporates three parameters (Frequency, Level and Q factor) for each of the 10 bands in its parametric equalizer (plus 5 subwoofer bands) to provide highly precise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics.
Optimizer microphone position
Level
Checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each speaker.
