SPEAKERS TO BE USED
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.
When playing back a source using the DSP program,
DIGITAL (PRO LOGIC),
DIGITAL (PRO LOGIC)
ENHANCED, DIGITAL (70 mm) MOVIE THEATER 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 (AC-3) decoded, conversations
will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be
excellent.
Note: Set the CENTER SPEAKER mode to the “NORMAL” or
“WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 22.)
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. When
playing back a source using the DSP program,
DIGITAL
(PRO LOGIC), DIGITAL (PRO LOGIC) ENHANCED,
DIGITAL (70 mm) MOVIE THEATER 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 (AC-3) decoded, the center sound is output from the left
and the right main speakers. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
Note: Be sure to set the CENTER SPEAKER mode to the
“PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 22.)

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 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 (AC-3) decoded. You may wish to
choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.
