OPTIMIZING THE SPEAKER SETTING FOR YOUR LISTENING ROOM (YPAO)
32
 En
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.
• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output 
during the “AUTO SETUP” procedure.
• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as quiet as 
possible while the “AUTO SETUP” procedure is in progress. If 
there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be 
satisfactory.
y
• Initial settings are indicated in bold.
• You can run “AUTO SETUP” using the system menu that 
appears in the OSD or in the front panel display. This manual 
uses the OSD illustrations to explain the “AUTO SETUP” 
procedure.
• Before performing operations, press 5AMP.
• This unit uses the speakers connected to the FRONT A speaker 
terminals as the front speakers for the adjustment.
