9Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

The Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) function detects speaker connections, measures the distances from them to your listening position(s), and then automatically optimizes the speaker settings, such as volume balance and acoustic parameters, to suit your room.
The YPAO function of the unit adopts the YPAO-R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) technology that enables to create natural sound fields like a room specifically designed for acoustic perfection.
Note the following regarding YPAO measurement.
  1. Press z (receiver power) to turn on the unit.
  2. Turn on the TV and switch the TV input to display video from the unit.
    If you turn on the unit for the first time, the message regarding the network setup appears. For now, press RETURN and proceed to Step 3.
  3. Turn on the subwoofer and set the volume to half. If the crossover frequency is adjustable, set it to maximum.
  4. Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position and connect it to the YPAO MIC jack on the front panel.
    Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position (same height as your ears). We recommend the use of a tripod as a microphone stand. You can use the tripod screws to stabilize the microphone.
    The following screen appears on the TV.
    To cancel the operation, disconnect the YPAO microphone before starting the measurement.
  5. If desired, select the measuring options.
    Use the cursor keys to select "Multi Measure" or "Angle/Height Measure" and press ENTER.
