The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active

DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so

Notes VIDEO

• You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and VIDEO
DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the
COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the signals
input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are
compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
• This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus
audio signals input at the analog jacks are output only at the
analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks.
• Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the
fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not
using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This
cap protects the jack from dust.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS


This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multi-channel playback from
almost any stereo or multi-channel sound source. This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.

Notes
• Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program.
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with the corresponding input source.
• Sound field programs cannot be selected when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input
source (see page 25).
• When sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz are input, this unit is automatically set to the “STEREO” mode.

• The source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.
• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording. Therefore, if
your source component is connected to provide only digital signals, you cannot record the source.
• A given input source is not output on the same OUT (REC) channel.
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright
