SPEAKER SYSTEM SETUP
As described on page 4, we recommend you to use this unit
connecting with the Yamaha RX-V2090. If you have already
set up a speaker system for the RX-V2090, you do not need to
prepare a new speaker system for this unit. Some functions on
this unit have been already preset to be suitable when this unit
is used with a speaker system for the RX-V2090. (Refer to
page 10 for details about those functions.)
This unit will provide the best performance with a five-speaker
system setup: one pair of main speakers for main sound
reproduction, one pair of surround speakers for effect and
surround sounds and one center speaker for dialog. A simple
speaker system excluding a center speaker will still provide
impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a
good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to
the five speaker system later.
* For the best performance of the RX-V2090, the system
needs one more pair of surround speakers at the front
position. (Refer to the owner’s manual of the RX-V2090 for
details.)
Main speakers should be high performance models and have
enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum
output of your system.
Surround speakers and a center speaker do not have to be
equal to the main speakers. For precise sound localization,
however, it is ideal to use high performance models that can
reproduce sounds in full range.
If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker,
you can enjoy AC-3 effect without it. Best results, however, are
obtained with the full system.
Main:
In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Surround: Behind your listening position, facing slightly
inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.
Center:
Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker.)
Set the center channel mode (C2. CENTER SP.) to the SML or
LRG position. (See page 10.)
Set the center channel mode (C2. CENTER SP.) to the
PHANTOM position. (See page 10.)

Note
If you will add a subwoofer in your system that includes the RX-V2090, connect the subwoofer to the “LOW PASS” terminal of the
RX-V2090. In doing so, the overall adjustment of speaker output levels including the subwoofer can be done with the master
VOLUME control of the RX-V2090.
