Flow of the speaker configurations

Before using the unit, adjust the speaker settings such as volume balance and acoustic parameters. With the supplied YPAO microphone, the unit detects speaker connections and measures the distances from them to your listening position(s) that is measuring position(s). And then, the unit automatically optimizes the speaker settings such as volume balance and acoustic parameters. (YPAO: Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer)

NOTE
  • During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. You cannot adjust the volume.
  • During the measuring process, stay in a back corner of the room and note the following for accurate measurement.
  • Keep the room as quiet as possible.
  • Do not block sound between the speakers and the YPAO microphone.
  • Do not connect headphones.
  1. Select the unit’s speaker impedance settings as necessary.

  1. Set the volume of the subwoofer to half. If the crossover frequency is adjustable, set it to maximum.
  1. Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position (same height as your ears).
  • We recommend the use of a tripod as a microphone stand and adjust your listening position (same height as your ears). You can use the tripod screws to stabilize the microphone.

NOTICE
  • The YPAO microphone is sensitive to heat, so should not be placed anywhere it could be exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures (such as on top of AV equipment).
NOTE
  • “YPAO Volume” in the “Option” menu is automatically enabled after the YPAO measurement. Then, the high- and low-frequency levels are automatically adjusted according to the volume so that you can enjoy natural sounds even at low volume.
  • An error message may appear during the measurement.
  • To cancel the operation, disconnect the YPAO microphone before starting the measurement.
