This unit employs the YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer) technology which lets you avoid 
troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments automatically. The supplied 
optimizer microphone collects and this unit analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening 
environment. 
This unit is equipped with various automatic setup features. You can select the automatic setup features according to your 
preference.
Quick automatic setup (page 30)
Use this feature to carry out the automatic setup without using the GUI screen.
Basic automatic setup (page 31)
Use this feature to optimize the setup of this unit for one listening position. You can also select the parameters to be 
optimized by the automatic setup.
Advanced automatic setup (page 33)
Use this feature to optimize the setup of this unit for multiple listening positions. You can also select the parameters to be 
optimized by the automatic setup.
Make sure of the following check points before 
starting the automatic setup operations.
❏ Speakers are connected appropriately.
❏ Headphones are disconnected from this unit.
❏ This unit is turned on.
❏ The connected subwoofer is turned on and the 
volume level is set to about half way (or slightly 
less).
❏ The crossover frequency controls of the 
connected subwoofer is set to the maximum.
❏ The room is sufficiently quiet.
❏ Set the operation mode selector on the remote 
control to FAMP.
• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output 
during the automatic setup procedure.
• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as quiet as 
possible while the automatic setup procedure is in progress. If 
there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be
