FEATURES

■ Built-in 8-channel power amplifier

• Main: 130 W + 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

• Center: 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

• Rear: 130 W + 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

• Front: 45 W + 45 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.05% THD, 1 kHz

• Rear center: 130 W (8Ω) RMS Output Power, 0.015% THD, 20 – 20,000 Hz

■ Digital Sound Fields (DSP)

Technological advances in sound reproduction over the last 30 years have enhanced the listening experience with improved clarity, precision,

and power. However, something has been missing: the atmosphere and acoustic ambience of the public venue. Our Yamaha engineers have

extensively researched the nature of sound acoustics and the way sound reflects inside a room. We sent these engineers to famous theaters

and concert halls around the world to measure the acoustics of those venues with sophisticated microphones. The data they collected is used

to recreate these environments in digital sound fields. Some of these digital sound fields have been created using data measured at the

original venue; others have been created from combinations of data to form unique environments for specific purposes. Some have been

designed especially for music, and others especially for movies. Of course, this only solves half of the problem. Because these engineers have

no way of knowing the acoustics of your entertainment room, we have made it possible for you to adjust the various parameters of this data

to tailor each virtual venue to your taste. You can use these sound fields to enhance any source and in combination with any of the following

surround sound technologies.

■ CINEMA-DSP: Dolby Digital + DSP and DTS + DSP

The Dolby Digital system and DTS system show their full capability in large movie theaters, because feature film soundtracks are designed

to be reproduced in such environments. It is difficult to recreate a sound environment similar to a movie theater in your entertainment room

because of the room size, wall materials, and the number of speakers in your entertainment system. Yamaha DSP technology makes it

possible for you to enjoy nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your entertainment room by compensating for

lack of presence and dynamics in your entertainment room with Yamaha's original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Digital or DTS

soundtracks.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT CINEMA DSP

Yamaha developed the Virtual CINEMA DSP algorithm which allows you to experience the virtual sound fields without surround speakers.

This makes it possible for the DSP-AZ1 to produce a full surround sound catering to the number of speakers you have. The DSP-AZ1 also

has a SILENT CINEMA DSP algorithm which is achieved by the crosstalk processing applying the precise Head Related Transfer Function.

You can therefore enjoy listening to the CINEMA DSP soundfields on headphones.

■ Various decoders to support the newest sound effect technology

This unit is equipped with the following signal format decoders.

• Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX

The Matrix decoder enables 6.1-channel playback of the 5.1-channel sources by extracting the rear center channel signals from the rear L/R

channel signals.

• DOLBY PRO LOGIC

DOLBY PRO LOGIC is the improved technique to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround programs. This new technology

enables a discrete 5-channel playback with two left and right main channels, a center channel, and two left and right rear channels compared

with one limited rear channel for the conventional Pro Logic technology. Also the music mode is available for 2-channel sources in addition

to the movie mode.

• DTS and DTS ES

The DSP-AZ1 is also equipped with a DTS decoder, which uses a 5.1-channel system to create a full surround sound environment. It was

developed as a way to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with six channels of digital sound. In comparison with Dolby Digital, DTS

uses less compression to store the sound information. The newly presented DTS ES system reproduces digital sound similar to Dolby Digital

EX. The use of the rear center speaker along with the existing 5.1-channel speakers provides a fully immersive cinematic audio experience.

• DTS Neo: 6

Neo: 6 decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6-channel playback by the specific decoder. It enables playback with the full-range

channels with higher separation just like digital discrete signal playback. Two modes are available; “Music mode” for playing music sources

and “Cinema mode” for movies.

• DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 achieves the high quality playback with all 5.1 channels at the sampling frequency 96 kHz/24 bit.

E-5

INTRODUCTION

English

■ Various input and output jacks

The DSP-AZ1 has various output jacks for audio and video signals as well as a digital recording output jack. Many input jacks are also

available for connection to multiple audio-video sources. All the video inputs and outputs have S-video jacks in addition to standard

composite video jacks for improved video picture quality. Component video input and output jacks are also available to deliver the excellent

video signals from DVD players and other high quality video sources. The coaxial and optical digital signal jacks (provided for direct

transmission of digital signals) automatically detect Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM signals. A demodulator circuit is built into the Dolby

Digital RF input so you can connect it directly to the Dolby Digital RF signal output on your LD player. Additionally, there are six audio

inputs for discrete multichannel reproduction from an external decoder.

The DSP-AZ1 also comes with a monaural subwoofer jack and split subwoofer jacks which can reproduce delicate but powerful low

frequency effects.

■ Multi-function remote control

The remote control can operate other audio-video components once you program the remote control using the manufacturer code and Learn

feature.

direction by aligning the + and – marks on the

batteries with the polarity markings (+ and –) on the

inside of the battery compartment.

3

Replace the cover as pressing until it snaps into

place.

Cautions

• Insert the batteries in the correct direction by aligning the + and –

marks on the batteries with the polarity illustrations (+ and –)

inside the battery compartment.

• Change the batteries periodically.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and

manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as

these different types of batteries may have the same shape and

color.

RESET

■ About changing batteries

As the batteries wear out, the operating range of the remote control

decreases and the TRANSMIT indicator does not flash or its light

becomes dim. When you notice any of these conditions, change all

of the batteries. After you insert new batteries, be sure to push

RESET in the battery compartment using a ball point pen or similar

object before using the remote control. (This does not clear the

contents of the memory.)

Caution

• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 3 minutes,

of the memory may be cleared. When the memory is cleared,

insert new batteries, set up the manufacturer code and program

any acquired functions that may have been cleared.

■ Using the remote control

The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be sure to

aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the

main unit during operation.

Cautions

• When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the

remote control and the main unit, the sensor cannot receive

signals.

• The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is

exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a

fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of

the light or reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

• Handle the remote control with care.

• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following types of

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right main speakers, a center speaker, the left and right rear

speakers, the left and right front effect speakers, and a rear center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for

speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to

produce a fuller sound.

■ 8-speaker configuration –full CINEMA-DSP–

When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack

audio. The dialogue is positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is positioned slightly behind the screen,

and the soundtrack music is positioned even further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation. This

configuration makes the most of this unit's capability.

■ 6-speaker configuration –Hi-Fi DSP–

This configuration is used the most for audio playback with Hi-Fi DSP. It does not position the dialogue sound as well as a 7- or 8-speaker

configuration. However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field which adds depth to the sound.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

■ 5-speaker configuration –standard 5.1 channel–

This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the 7- or 8-speaker configuration. However, it positions the

dialogue sound as coming directly from the screen.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

■ 4-speaker configuration –minimum requirement–

In this configuration, the center speaker signals and front effect speaker signals are directed to the left and right main speakers.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1A CENTER SP” to “NONE”, item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE”, and item

“1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.

■ Speaker configurations and speaker mode

Select the appropriate speaker mode depending on the speaker configuration. See “SPEAKER MODE SETTINGS” on page 34 for details.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Caution

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the

monitor.

■ Placing the main speakers

Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position.

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each

side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.

■ Placing the center speaker

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the center

speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as

possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the

monitor, the front effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the

action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen

in your system, place the center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker

with the center of the screen.

■ Placing the front effect, rear and rear center speakers

These speakers should be placed about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 feet) outside the main speakers

and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position.

Place the rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position.

The rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the front effect speakers. Place these

speakers at the height of 1.5 m when listening as sitting on the floor or 1.8 m when

listening as sitting on the chair.

Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement until you

obtain a balanced sound from the main speakers and the front effect and rear speakers.

This distance can be farther than the front

effect speakers’.

■ When you use a projection screen

Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.

The main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of

the screen.

Place the center speaker in the center and directly under the screen. The center speaker

provides precise dialogue localization.

When you use a projection screen with your system, the front effect speakers provide

better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs (see pages 90 to 94) raise

the sound from the center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding with

the video images.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

■ Placing the subwoofers

Place the front subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

If you use a rear subwoofer, place it behind the main listening position. The placement of the rear subwoofer is not critical because of the

ultra low frequencies of the sound being reproduced.

By adding a high quality subwoofer to the speaker configurations shown on page 14, you can enjoy more powerful and realistic movie

effects, even if your main speakers are large.

Note

• If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your configuration, the tone of a moving human voice and other

types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal

quality.

You can also adjust the output levels and equalization of your effect speakers using the SET MENU (see pages 56 and 57).

If you are using small speakers, the addition of a subwoofer will reinforce the sound effects of movies.
