Yamaha YSP-4300 User Manual

Due to differences in room sizes and shapes, positioning of this 
unit, and the lifestyle of users, settings for each channel must be 
adjusted in order for this unit to provide the optimal listening 
experience. 
This unit is equipped with IntelliBeam, which automatically 
adjusts settings for each channel. IntelliBeam offers two features, 
“beam optimization” and “sound optimization”.
Beam optimization:
This feature optimizes the beam angle so that the parameter best 
matches your listening environment.
Sound optimization:
This feature optimizes the beam delay, volume, and quality so 
that the parameters best match your listening environment.
This unit performs these two automatic optimizations with the aid 
of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone.

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the IntelliBeam 
microphone and the walls in your listening room as these objects 
obstruct the path of sound beams.
However, any objects that are in contact with the walls will be 
regarded as a protruding part of the walls.

• Use the supplied cardboard microphone stand or a tripod to 

place the IntelliBeam microphone at the same height as your 
ears would be when you are seated.

• Position the IntelliBeam microphone so that it is parallel with 

the floor.

• The AUTO SETUP procedure may not be run successfully if this 

unit is installed in one of the rooms described in “Conditions that 
make it difficult for sound beams to achieve surround sound” on 
page 11. The My Surround function can be used to enjoy rich 
surround sound in these types of rooms as well. See “Changing 
the audio output method for surround playback” (

☞p. 36, 37) for 

more information.

• Do not connect the IntelliBeam microphone to an extension 

cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.

• After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure 

to disconnect the IntelliBeam microphone.

• The IntelliBeam microphone is sensitive to heat.

– Keep the IntelliBeam microphone away from direct sunlight.
– Do not place the IntelliBeam microphone on top of this unit.
