Optimizing the speaker setting for your listening room
26
 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
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.

optimizer microphone at the same height as your ears would be 
when you are seated in your listening position. You can use the 
attached screw of a tripod (etc.) to fix the optimizer microphone
