Adjusting the Orientation of the
Virtual Surround Speakers
This unit employs the Yamaha Air Surround system that
enables the surround sound field using six speaker units
built in two satellite speakers. To create better acoustic
field, please adjust the orientation of the virtual surround
speakers suited for your listening environment. You can
select from five presets for each satellite speaker (L and
R).
Note
To create better acoustic field, you may need to change the
arrangement of the satellite speakers or furniture. For example,
the Air Surround system does not work well (or does not work at
all) in the following situations.
– The satellite speakers are placed inside the rack.
– The satellite speakers are not placed perpendicular to the side
walls.
– There is an obstacle at the front (or diagonally in front) of
satellite speakers.
– A piece of furniture is placed at the reflection points (A, B).
– There are no reflection faces (walls or windows).
y
• You cannot adjust the orientation of the virtual surround
speakers while the DVS function is activated. To adjust it, press
qVS to disable the DVS function.
• When headphones are connected to the
jack on the unit, the adjustment is not available.
