1 Placing speakers
Select the speaker layout for the number of speakers that you are using and place the speakers and subwoofer (with built-in amplifier) in your room. This section describes the
representative speaker layout examples.

Caution
• Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6  MIN”. In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers.
For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.16).

Subwoofer 9 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
This channel is counted as “0.1”. You can connect 2 subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit.

If you use five speakers in the front side, use two of them as front surround speakers (*1) or presence speakers (*2). We recommend using them as front surround speakers for
enjoying unprocessed playback (p.52) or presence speakers for enjoying stereoscopic sound fields (p.49).

• For information on the ideal speaker layout, see “Ideal speaker layout” (p.123).
• If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers or presence speakers.
To reinforce the rear left/right sounds, use them as surround back speakers.
To create a natural 3-dimensional sound field, use them as presence speakers.
• Two subwoofers connected to the unit output the same sounds.

If you select one of the sound programs (except 2ch Stereo and 7ch Stereo) when no
surround speakers are connected, the unit utilizes Yamaha’s original virtual surround
technology to reproduce up to 7-channel surround sound and enable you to enjoy the
well-oriented sound field only with the front-side speakers. We recommend using
presence speakers in order to enjoy more effective stereoscopic sound field.

When “Layout (Surround)” (p.96) in the “Setup” menu is set to “Front”, the unit creates
the virtual surround speakers in the rear side to allow you to enjoy multi-channel
surround sound with the 5 speakers placed in the front.

• When Virtual CINEMA FRONT is working, “VIRTUAL” lights up in the front display.

HDMI and video information
Sampling frequency and quantization bits indicate the quantity of information when an analog audio signal
is digitized. These values are noted as in the following example: “48 kHz/24-bit”.
Component video signal
• Sampling frequency
Sampling frequency (the number of times the signal is sampled per second) is called the sampling rate. With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for luminance and
When the sampling frequency is higher, the range of frequencies that can be played back are wider. the Pb and Pr signals for chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because
each of these signals is independent.

A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker. When you use the bi-amplification MHL
connection, the unit drives the tweeter and woofer in a speaker with the discrete amplifiers. As a MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) is the interface standard for high-speed digital video signal transmission
