Installation
This unit reflects sound beams off of walls to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to both the listening position and walls is important to achieving the
desired surround sound effects. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier to connect external devices to this unit first. This
will depend upon the installation location. See Connections (p. 24) for more information.
Notes
Be sure to install this unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
The subwoofer speakers are not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the subwoofer.
Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.
Recommended place for installation

Install the center unit in the center of the left and right
walls.
Place the center unit on a TV stand in front of the TV*.
This unit can be mounted on a wall using the optional
Wall Mount Bracket SPM-K20 (p. 19).
* Use the TV Remote Repeater function if the center unit
obstructs the remote control sensor on the TV (p. 15).
If the center unit cannot be installed on a TV stand
because the stand is too high, the height of the center
unit can be adjusted (p. 16).
The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be

located at the front of the center unit.
Center unit
To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle the

subwoofer slightly toward the center of the room.
When installing the subwoofer on a rack, be sure
the rack is strong enough to support the subwoofer
and that it leaves sufficient space for heat
discharge.
The subwoofer can also be placed on its side
(p. 18).
Subwoofer
To achieve desired surround sound effects, be

sure that obstacles such as furniture may not
obstruct the path of sound beams (p. 12).
The distance between the listening position and the

center unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
Wireless connections
The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the
subwoofer and the center unit. Use a wired connection to connect the subwoofer to the center unit if sounds are interrupted due to the installation condition (p. 29).

reflection board may be installed for a better surround sound experience (p. 73).
En
13
Example for installing the unit in living room

As sound beams normally pass through tables, tables are not obstacles. And a
cupboard installed facing the wall reflects sounds.
In a case of the listening room as shown in the illustration below, adjusting the position
of the right channel after AUTO SETUP (p. 32) enables to achieve more desired
surround sound effects (p. 55).
As the curtains absorb sounds, the sound features of the listening room is different
from the case with the curtain opened and the case with the curtain closed. Using
saving settings function enables to save the best settings for each case of listening
room (p. 47).
Objects, such as
furniture
Unrecommended listening environments

This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls of
your listening room. The surround sound effects produced by this unit may not be
sufficient when this unit is installed in the following locations.
Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound beams
Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls
Rooms with measurements outside the following range:
W (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft)) H (2 to 3.5 m (7 to 11.5 ft))
D (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft))
Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to obstruct the path of sound beams
Rooms with less than 1.8 m (6 ft) from the listening position to this unit
Rooms where the listening position is close to the walls
Rooms where the listening position is not in front of this unit
Enjoying surround effects regardless of conditions (My

If the TV remote control does not work properly after

the center unit is installed (TV Remote Repeater
function)
When the TV Remote Repeater function is enabled, the unit receives TV remote control
signals at the TV remote control sensor (on front) and transmits the signals from the TV
Remote Repeater (on rear). This function is useful when you cannot operate your TV
from the remote control because the remote control sensor of the TV is blocked by the
unit.
This function can be used while the TV remote control is using infrared signals.

Basic Knowledge of Surround Sound
What is Surround Sound?
What is a Digital Sound Projector?
Yamahas Audio Technologies
Surround sound offers the sense of being surrounded by sounds, an

experience common in concert halls and movie theaters. This can be
achieved by surrounding the audience with numerous speakers from
which sound is output uniformly in all directions. This surround
sound technology immerses the listener in sound with speakers
positioned not only in front of the listener, but also behind and to the
sides of the listener, making him or her feel as if they are actually in
the situation.
For precise directional control and quality of sound reproduction,
sounds must be split into separate audio channels for output to each
speaker. Surround sound systems for regular home use (7.1-channel
speaker systems) produce surround sound using seven speakers
and a subwoofer, as shown below:
A digital sound projector separately controls compact speakers

installed in orderly rows, so that optimized audio signals are output
from each speaker and synthesized as highly focused sounds
(sound beams).
This unit features many more functions based on Yamahas superior

audio technologies.
Typical 7.1 channel speaker system
Digital amplifier
Center
speaker
Surround back speakers
Surround speakers
This technology enhances and extends bass and treble, which tend
to be weak in digitally compressed formats such as MP3 used with
portable digital audio players and computers. This makes
compressed audio sound more musically dynamic.
Speaker
CINEMA DSP
Sound beams are emitted
in the target direction
Front speakers
Subwoofer
Compressed Music Enhancer
When these focused sounds hit a hard wall, they are reflected off of
the wall. A digital sound projector outputs sound beams from five
channels, including front (left/right), center, and surround (left/right)
channels, by reflecting these beams off of walls so that sounds reach
the listener from the appropriate direction. It features a technology
that enables true surround sound without requiring the installation of
speakers in front of, or behind, the listener.
By combining front and surround channel signals, it can also create
two new channels, for a total of seven, so that all channels work
together more closely for a better surround sound experience.
This technology enables precise digital recreation of actual acoustic

environments found in well-known concert halls and movie theaters.
This is achieved using Yamahas exclusive sound field programs,
which are based on data measured in various sound fields, and with
which the amplitude, depth, and volume of sounds have been
adjusted.
Virtual Surround Headphones

These headphones are used to virtually reproduce sound fields. They
provide a more natural and full surround sound experience.
The sound image of the system
As explained above, sounds can be reproduced for a great sense of

presence by installing multiple speakers. However, this can be
difficult to do in a living room. This unit utilizes digital sound
projector technology to provide a realistic and engaging surround
sound experience using only a slim center unit and subwoofer.

Glossary
Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
HDMI
These are values that represent the amount of information used to

convert analog signals to digital signals. They may be expressed as
48kHz/24bit, for example.
This technology converts not only audio recorded in 2 channels, but

also audio signal recorded in multiple channels to discrete 7-channel
sound. There are three modes available: Music mode for music
sources, Movie mode for movie sources and Game mode for
game sources.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a digital audio/video

interface that has become an industry standard around the world. It
is capable of transmitting both digital video and audio signals intact
via a single cable. It is also compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP) standard. See http://www.hdmi.org for
more information.
Sampling Frequency
This defines the number of samples per second (sampling a finite
set of discrete values in an analog signal). The higher the
sampling rate, the broader the range of frequencies that can be
played back.
Bit Depth
This defines the amplitude value of sounds when quantifying
analog signals as finite values. The higher the bit depth, the
deeper sounds are reproduced.
Deep Color
This is a video technology supported by the HDMI standard. It
processes RGB or YCbCr signals at bit depths of 10, 12, or 16 bits
per color, whereas conventional formats utilize only 8-bit processing,
enabling reproduction of more colors. Its gamut is comprised of a
billion or more colors, while the gamuts of conventional formats are
comprised of only millions of colors or less. This broader gamut
results in more precise reproduction of colors and greater detail in
darker portions.
Dolby Digital
This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It was
developed by Dolby Laboratories, and is widely used with DVD
discs.
Dolby Digital EX
This technology enables 6.1-channel playback for sources encoded
in the Dolby Digital EX format. It takes the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
setup one step further with an additional back surround channel.
Dolby Digital Plus

This is a compressed audio format for 7.1 channels developed by
Dolby Laboratories. It is fully compatible with Dolby Digital and is
available for playback on Dolby Digital-enabled audio systems. It is

Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby TrueHD
This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by Dolby
Laboratories for high-definition disc-based media to deliver sounds
that are identical, bit for bit, to studio masters for a great home
theater experience. It delivers up to 8 discrete channels of 24-bit/
96-kHz (up to 6 discrete channels of 24-bit/192 kHz) audio
simultaneously, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs.
DTS Digital Surround

This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels developed by
DTS. It is widely used with DVD discs.
DTS Express
This is a compressed audio format for 5.1 channels. It provides a
higher compression ratio than the DTS Digital Surround audio format,
and was developed specifically for network streaming and Blu-ray
Disc secondary audio.
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)

This technology records analog audio signals in digital form,
converts analog audio signals to digital audio signals, and transmits
analog audio signals in digital form. It is the underlying technology
for all digital audio signal systems, and is widely used with CDs,
Blu-ray Discs, and many other types of media as a uncompressed
audio format known as Linear PCM.
x.v.Color
This is a color space supported by HDMI. It has become an
international standard for video and offers a broader gamut than
does the sRGB standard for expression of colors never before
possible. It expands the color space while ensuring compatibility
with the sRGB standard for more natural and vivid images.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

This is a compressed audio format for 24-bit/96-kHz superior sound
quality with 7.1 channels developed by DTS. It is fully compatible
with DTS Digital Surround, and is widely used with Blu-ray Discs.
DTS-HD Master Audio

This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by DTS for
high-definition disc-based media to deliver sounds identical, bit for
bit, to studio masters for a great home theater experience. It delivers
up to 8 discrete channels at 24-bit/96 kHz (up to 6 discrete channels
at 24-bit/192 kHz) audio simultaneously, and is widely used with
Blu-ray Discs.
DTS Neo:6
This technology enables discrete 6-channel playback from 2-channel
sources. There are two modes available: Music mode for music
sources and Cinema mode for movie sources. It provides a channel
split effect similar to sources recorded as discrete surround sound.
This technology converts audio signal recorded in 2 channels to

5-channel signal. There are three modes available: Music mode for
stereo music sources, Movie mode for movie sources, and Game
mode for game sources.
