Remote Control

Quick Reference Guide

When finding it difficult to fit this unit onto the shelf, remove the side panels after removing the screws tightened on the side panels. Put this

sticker to cover the screw holes after tearing off the back side of the sticker.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

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.

■ 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.

Reset button

Notes:

• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 20 minutes, or if worn out

batteries remain in the unit, the contents of the memory may be cleared.

If the memory is cleared, insert new batteries and reprogram any functions that may have

been cleared.

• 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.)

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 to operate. 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.

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.

Main Speakers

Center Speaker

Rear Center Speaker

Front Subwoofer

Rear Subwoofer

■ Eight or Seven 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.

(

)

The Rear Center speaker is useful for playback of 6-channel Digital Surround.

■ Six Speaker Configuration –Hi Fi DSP–

This configuration is used the most for audio playback with HiFi DSP. It does not

position the dialogue sound as well as a seven or eight 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”.

■ Five Speaker Configuration –Standard 5.1 Channel–

This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the

seven or eight speaker configuration. However, it positions the dialogue sound as

coming directly from the screen.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to

“NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE”.

■ Four 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. FRNT EFCT SP to “NONE,” and item 1D. REAR CT SP to

“NONE”.

Hookups

Connecting Audio Components

Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including this unit and

determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output.

When you connect other YAMAHA audio component (such as a CD player or changer, MD deck, or tape deck), connect to terminals with

the same number labels. Yamaha applies this labelling system to all its products.

In the hookup illustrations on the following pages:

■Connecting to digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can use the digital jacks

to input PCM, DTS, and Dolby Digital bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks (for CD and

CABLE) priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96 kHz/24 bit digital

signals.

■About the dust protection cap

Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do

not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap

back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.

The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If you use a fiber

optic cable that does not conform to this standard, this unit may not function

properly.

■Connecting a turntable

These jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM or high output MC

cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low output MC cartridge, use an inline

boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to these jacks.

The GND terminal does not electrically ground the turntable. It simply reduces

noise in the signal. In some cases, you may hear less noise if you do not connect to

the GND terminal.

■Connecting a CD player

• The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a CD player

which has coaxial or optical digital outputs.

• When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD

jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL CD jack.

■Connecting an MD or DAT deck

• When you connect a recorder to this unit, keep the deck’s power on while using

this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other

component.

• When you record from source component connected to this unit while this unit’s

power is off, the recorded sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn

on this unit.

• When you connect a CD recorder to both the analog and digital input and output

jacks, priority is given to the digital signals.

Hookups

Connecting Video Components

Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including this unit and

determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output. After you finish all hookups, check them again to make

sure they are correct.

■About the video jacks

There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite video signals. Video

signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals achieve high

quality color reproduction.

Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P^B/CB, PR/CR) video

signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal. The labels of the component video jacks may be different depending on the

component (e.g. Y, C^B, CR / Y, PB, PR / Y, B-Y, R-Y/ etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction.

If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can

Composite VIDEO jack

S VIDEO jack

connect it to this unit. Connect the S-video signal output jack on your video

component to the S-VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jacks on

your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

Notes:

•

Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite video,

S-video, and component jacks are output through the corresponding composite video, S-

video, and component jacks respectively.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jacks, and

commercially available video cables when connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO

jacks.

When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s

manual that came with the component being connected.

Hookups

Connecting Speakers

This section explains how to connect speakers to this unit. After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to change the

signal output settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration.

Before connecting any speaker cords, identify which terminals are for the right and left channels and also the + and – polarities. If you

connect speakers with the wrong polarity (+ to –), this unit will not reproduce clear sound.

■Using speaker cords

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of

the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove, or ridge.

To make sure you always connect speakers with the correct polarity, determine the

difference between the cables of your speaker cord, make a note of which cable

you plan to use for which polarity (+ and –), and always connect the speaker cords

consistently.

Strip off 9 mm (3/8 in.) of an inch of insulation from the ends of the cables.

Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.

Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclockwise.

Banana Plug

Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the slot in the side of the

terminal, and tighten the terminal knob.

Note:

•

If your speaker cords have banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob and insert the

plug into the end of the terminal. (Except for Europe and U.K. models)

Caution:

•

Connect the speaker cords with care to avoid creating a short circuit. If you turn on

the power and there is a short circuit, this unit may be damaged even though the

protection circuit automatically shuts off the power.

(Except for Europe and U.K. models)

■About the q RF (AC-3) signal input jack <For China and General models only.>

If your LD player has an q RF (AC-3) signal output jack, connect it to the q RF (AC-3) input jack on this unit. For this connection,

change SET MENU item 7D. COAXIAL IN (10) to “LD-RF”. If q RF (AC-3) and analog signals are input at the same time, priority is

given to the RF signals. When you want to reproduce q RF (AC-3) signals, set the input mode to “D.D. RF” using INPUT MODE.

Note:

•

q RF (AC-3) signals cannot be output using the REC OUT selector. When you record

sound or images from an LD player, be sure to connect the player to either the DIGITAL

OPTICAL or analog AUDIO jacks.

Caution:

•

Even if you connect an LD player with an q RF (AC-3) output jack to this unit, you

cannot reproduce Dolby Digital sound from all LD discs. You must playback an LD disc

encoded with Dolby Digital signals in order to take advantage of the Dolby Digital

sound.

Speaker Placement

Where you place your speakers has a tremendous effect on how well your system sounds.

■Placing the Main speakers

TV or Video

Main

Speaker

monitor

Main

Speaker

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

TV or Video

monitor

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.

Center Speaker

1m 0.5~1m 1.5~3m 0.5~1m 1m

(3ft) (1~3ft) (5~15ft) (1~3ft) (3ft)

■Placing the Front Effect, Rear, and Rear Center

speakers

The Front Effect speakers should be placed about 0.5~1m (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. The Front Effect and Rear speakers should be placed about

1.8m (6 feet) above the floor.

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.

■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.

1/4

When you use a projection screen with your system, the Front Effect speakers

provide better effect quality. The CINEMA-DSP sound field programs raise the

sound from the Center speaker upward and provide natural sound corresponding

with the video images.

Front Effect speakers

■Placing the Subwoofers

Rear speakers

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 ultralow frequencies

of the sound being reproduced.

Notes:

•

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.

•

If you are using small speakers, the addition of a Subwoofer will reinforce the sound

effects of movies.

Notes:

•

If digital signals are input from both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, the digital signal from the COAXIAL jack is selected.

When AUTO is selected, this unit automatically determines the type of signal. If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder

automatically switches to the appropriate setting and reproduces 5.1 channel source.

•

The sound output may be interrupted for some LD and DVD players in the following situation: The input mode is set to AUTO. A search is performed

while playing the disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, and then disc playing is restored. The sound output is interrupted for a moment because the

digital signal was selected again.

■Notes on playing a source encoded with a DTS signal

•

If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you make

a digital connection between this unit and the player.

•

If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to ANALOG, this unit reproduces the noise of an unprocessed

DTS signal. When you want to play a DTS source, be sure to connect the source to a digital input jack and set the input mode to

AUTO or DTS.

•

If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, this unit reproduces no sound.

If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set the input mode to AUTO, there will be a moment of noise while the unit

recognizes the DTS signal and turns on the DTS decoder. This is not a malfunction. You can avoid this by setting the input mode to

DTS beforehand.

•

If you continue to play a source encoded with a DTS signal with the input mode setting left to AUTO, this unit automatically switches

to the “DTS-decoding” mode to prevent noise from being generated during subsequent operation. (The “t” indicator lights up on

the front panel display.) The “t” indicator will flash immediately after playback of a source encoded with a DTS signal has

finished. Only a source encoded with a DTS signal can be played back while this indicator is flashing. If you want to play a normal

PCM source soon, set the input mode back to AUTO.

The “t” indicator will flash when the input mode is set to AUTO and a search or skip operation is performed while playing back a

source encoded with a DTS signal. If this status continues for 30 or more seconds, the unit will automatically switch from the “DTS-

decoding” mode to PCM digital signal input mode and the “t” indicator will go out.

■Notes on playing an LD or DTS CD source

•

For LD software that does not contain a digital soundtrack, connect the LD player to the analog jacks and set the input mode to AUTO

or ANALOG.

If the LD player is transmitting a signal by a non-standard method, this unit cannot detect the Dolby Digital or DTS signal. In this case,

the decoder automatically switches to PCM or analog.

Some A/V components such as LD players output different audio signals through their analog and digital jacks. Change the input mode

as necessary.

While you are operating the LD player and playing a disc encoded with a Dolby Digital signal, if you switch from the pause or chapter

forwarding function to normal playback, you may hear the PCM or analog sound an instant before the Dolby Digital signal is played.

Basic Playback

Selecting a Sound Field Program

You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a DSP sound field program. The 25 DSP sound field programs are divided into 12

DSP program groups.

10KEY/DSP

Set 10KEY/DSP on the remote to DSP.

Press the DSP button on main unit and rotate the Multi jog knob to select the

desired sound field program.

Notes:

•

If a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is input when the input mode is set to “AUTO”,

the sound field program automatically switches to the appropriate decoding

program.

Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not on the name

of the program. The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound field

program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect

created by the program.

6.1/ES

If you want to utilize the Rear Center speaker

with a 5.1 channel program source, press 6.1/

ES.

•

When you select an input source, the main unit automatically selects the last sound

field program used with that source.

When you turn off the main unit, the current source and sound field program are

memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again.

When high rate 96 kHz sampling digital signals are output from source equipment,

the DSP sound field cannot operate on the source sounds. In this case, the sounds

are reproduced as normal 2-channel stereo.

Start recording on the recording component.

REC OUT

• If you want to listen to another source, and REC OUT is not set to

SOURCE, select the source you want to reproduce with the INPUT

selector and adjust the volume.

Notes:

•

Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

When this unit’s power is off, you cannot record between other component

connected to this unit.

•

Operating BASS and TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, BALANCE, VOLUME,

and DSP programs do not affect the recorded signal.

■ Special considerations when recording DTS

software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS

bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit

to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following

considerations need to be made.

For DTS encoded LDs, DVDs, and CDs:

Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be recorded as follows:

•

LDs:

Set your Laser Disc player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.

DVDs:

Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right

audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

•

CDs:

The DTS signal recorded on CDs can only be output as a digital bitstream,

and therefore cannot be recorded.

Digital Generator

(Wide Band Noise Produced)

■ About the test tone

The test tone is produced by the tone generator.

The tone generator produces a narrow band of noise centered at a specified

frequency by the band pass filter.

You can change the center frequency from 35 Hz through 250 Hz in one-sixth

octave steps.

NOISE

You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the subwoofer level, but also for

checking the low frequency characteristics of your listening room. Low frequency

sounds are especially affected by the listener’s position, speaker placement,

subwoofer polarity, and other conditions.

13. SP DELAY TIME

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the Center and the Rear Center channel sounds.

This feature works when this unit decodes DTS or Dolby Digital signals. Ideally, the

Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker should be the same distance from the

main listening position as the left and right Main speakers. However, in most home

situations, the Center speaker or the Rear Center speaker is placed in line with the

Main speakers or the Rear speakers. By delaying the sound from the Center speaker

and the Rear Center speaker, the apparent distance from the Center speaker and the

Rear Center speaker to the main listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the

same as the distance between the left and right Main speaker, and the left and right

Rear speakers to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time for the Center

speaker is especially important for giving depth to the dialogue.

Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)

Understanding Sound Fields

A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a particular space.”

In concert halls and other music venues, we hear early reflections and reverberations

as well as the direct sound produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early

reflections and other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives

each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.

Yamaha sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound

reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field

information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections.

Then we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this unit.

■ Recreating a sound field

Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the

virtual sound sources in your listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses

only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. Yamaha’s DSP

requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound

field data. The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output

from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources in a full circle

around the listener.

The DSP sound field programs can be classified in two types based on the sound field

processing method: programs that use early reflections only and programs that use

both early reflections and reverberation.

■E/R (Early Reflection)

Each sound field is distinguished by the structure of the reflected sound. The increased processing capability of DSP technology enables

Yamaha engineers to incorporate even minute reflections with long delay times into the sound field data.

■4ch REV. (Four Channel Reverberation)

This type of program consists of early reflections and high quality digital reverberation processing. Reverberation is the most important

element for recreating the sound field of a church, for example. To recreate a realistic spatial sound image from reverberation data, Yamaha

has adapted the four-channel-output reverberation technology.

■Illustration of the virtual sound sources and echo patterns

The virtual sound sources and echo patterns for the DSP sound field programs are shown below. The illustration of the virtual sound sources

shows early reflection sound only and the illustration of the echo patterns shows both reflected sound and reverberation.

CINEMA-DSP

Sound Design of CINEMA-DSP

Filmmakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread even farther back, and

the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with the images on the screen.

CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP integrates the DTS,

Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field programs to provide the surround sound

field. It recreates the most complete movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, Yamaha’s exclusive

DSP processing is added to the right and left Main and Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth

transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.

When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the most suitable sound

field program for that signal.

Parameter Descriptions

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all

of the following parameters are found in every program.

INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)

[P. INT. DLY for the presence sound field]

Control Range 1 – 99 msec

Function .............. This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct sound

and the first reflection heard by the listener.

Description ......... The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the apparent

distance seems. For a small room, this parameter would be set to a small value, and for a large room, it would be set to

a large value.

DSP Parameter

ROOM SIZE

[P. ROOM SIZE for the presence sound field]

Control Range 0.1 – 2.0

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field. The larger the value, the larger the surround sound

field becomes.

Description ......... As the sound is repeatedly reflected around a room, the larger the hall is, the longer the time between the original

reflected sound and the subsequent reflections. By controlling the time between the reflected sounds, you can change

the apparent size of the virtual venue. Changing this parameter from one to two, doubles the apparent length of the

room.

Sound Source

Reflections

Small value = 0.1

Large value = 2.0

LIVENESS

Control Range 0 – 10

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections

decay.

Description ......... The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in

one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces is referred to as “dead,” while a

room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live.” The LIVENESS parameter lets you adjust the early

reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the room.

S. DELAY (Surround Delay)

Control Range 0 – 49 msec (The range depends on the signal format.)

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround sound field.

S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)

Control Range 1 – 49 msec

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the sound

field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two rear channels are used.

S. ROOM SIZE (Surround Room Size)

Control Range 0.1 – 2.0

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the surround sound field.

S. LIVENESS (Surround Liveness)

Control Range 0 –10

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.

RC. INIT. DLY (Rear Center Initial Delay)

Control Range 1 – 49 msec

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the rear center sound field.

RC. ROOM SIZE (Rear Center Room Size)

Control Range 0.1 – 2.0

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the apparent size of the rear center sound field.

RC. LIVENESS (Rear Center Liveness)

Control Range 0 – 10

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual wall in the rear center sound field.

REV.TIME (Reverberation Time)

Control Range 1.0 – 5.0 sec

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at

1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.

Description ......... Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time for “live”

sources and listening room environments.

Function .............. This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the

reverberation sound.

Description ......... The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like you are

in a larger acoustic environment.

Resetting to the Factory Preset Value

■To reset a parameter to the factory preset value

Select the parameter you want to reset. Then, press and hold + or – until the value stops at the factory preset value temporarily. (The

asterisk mark by the parameter name disappears on the video monitor.)

■To reset all of the parameters back to the factory preset values

Use the SET MENU to reset all of the parameter values of all DSP programs within the selected group to the factory preset values. This

operation resets all of the parameter values of all DSP programs within that group to the factory preset values.

Notes:

•

The available parameters may be displayed on more than one OSD page for some of the programs. To scroll through pages, press g or h.

When “MEMORY GUARD!” appears on the screen, the Memory Guard function is on, and you cannot change parameter values. Turn off the

Memory Guard function using the SET MENU.
