structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

We Want You Listening for a Lifetime

YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Associa-

tion’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get

the most out of your equipment by playing it at a

safe level. One that lets the sound come through

loud and clear without annoying blaring or distor-

tion – and, most importantly, without affecting your

sensitive hearing.

Since hearing damage from loud

sounds is often undetectable until it is

too late, YAMAHA and the Electronic

Industries Association’s Consumer

Electronics Group recommend you to

avoid prolonged exposure to excessive

volume levels.

Note for CATV system installers:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV sys-

tem installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the

NEC that provides guidelines for proper ground-

ing and, in particular, speciﬁes that the cable

ground shall be connected to the grounding sys-

tem of the building, as close to the point of cable

entry as practical.

Introduction

Using Yamaha’s unique DSP technology, the RP-U100 can bring excitement and realism

to any audio source by simulating the acoustic environments of concert halls, movie the-

aters, and so on with only two speakers. With its stylish, vertical design, the RP-U100

allows you to use various audio sources, including your PC, CD player, MD or tape

recorder, and the built-in AM/FM tuner, as shown below.

Although the RP-U100 can be used as part of a typical hi-ﬁ system, connecting it to your

PC via the USB port, and running the supplied RP-U100 Application Software, allows

you to remotely control the RP-U100 from your PC and edit the sound ﬁeld programs.

Virtual 3D

Surround sound typically requires

several speakers situated in front of

and behind the listening position,

which requires a substantial amount

of space that may not always be

available. The RP-U100 uses

Yamaha’s unique “Virtual 3D” tech-

nology to simulate a typical

surround sound system using only

two speakers. Virtual 3D, which is used by the RP-U100’s sound ﬁeld programs, simulates

the surround effect provided by rear and center speakers, creating “virtual” surround

speakers, as shown, so even with only two front speakers, you can still enjoy surround

sound.

Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)

When you listen to a performance in a concert hall, jazz club, or other live music venue,

you not only hear the direct sound coming from the musical instruments and singers, but

also the “early reﬂections” and natural reverberation. Early reﬂections are the initial

sound waves that bounce off the ﬂoor, ceiling, and walls. Natural reverberation is made

up of sound waves that gradually attenuate as they bounce repeatedly off multiple

surfaces.

Since the way you hear early reﬂections and reverberation depends on the shape and size

of the building as well as the material and construction of the walls and ceiling, each venue

has its own unique “sound,” called its “sound ﬁeld.” At Yamaha, we have measured all the

elements that make up a typical sound ﬁeld—direction and level of the reﬂections, band-

width characteristics, and delay times—at famous concert halls and opera houses around

the world. The information gained in this process has been converted into programs that

can be reproduced using Yamaha’s DSP technology. Using its on-board DSP, the RP-U100

can process any audio source and recreate the atmosphere of the original venue.

Recommended Speaker

Placement

For best performance, place the left and

right speakers either side of your com-

puter monitor, as shown below, and posi-

tion them so that their fronts are flush. To

get the best from the sound field programs

and surround effects, the left and right

speakers and the listener should be posi-

tioned so as to form a triangle with a 3:4

ratio, so if, for example, the speakers are

60 cm (23.5") apart, the listener should be

80 cm (31.5") away from each speaker.

Bass performance can be extended by con-

necting a subwoofer, such as the Yamaha

YST-SW45, to the SUB WOOFER OUT.

Recording

The input source selected on the RP-U100 is output by the ANALOG AUX 2 OUT, DIG-

ITAL OPT OUT, USB port, and speakers, as shown in the following table. “O” means that

a signal is output, “X” means no signal is output.

By connecting a cassette tape recorder or MD recorder to the ANALOG AUX 2 OUT or

DIGITAL OPT OUT, you can record from an external audio source (e.g., PC or CD

player) or the tuner. When the input source is the ANALOG AUX 1 IN, ANALOG AUX 2

IN, or tuner, the input signal can be fed to your PC via the USB connection. Since sound

field effects are not output by these connectors, they cannot be recorded.

1. Connect a tape recorder to the ANA-

LOG AUX 2 OUT, or an MD recorder

to the DIGITAL OPT OUT, as

explained on page 6.

2. Turn on the recorder and the

RP-U100.

3. Use the input selector keys to select

an input source, as explained on

page 10.

See page 11 for more information

about using the tuner.

4. Start recording on your tape or MD

recorder.

5. Start the input source.
