➤ Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

En

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.

• Please note the following when using YPAO.

– Use YPAO after connecting a TV and speakers to the unit.

– During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. Ensure that 

the test tones do not frighten small children. Also, refrain from using this function 
at night when it may be a nuisance to others.

– During the measuring process, you cannot adjust the volume.

– During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible.

– Do not connect headphones.
