Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

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.

Note the following regarding YPAO measurement

1. Turn on the subwoofer and set the volume to half. If the crossover frequency is adjustable, set it to maximum.
2. Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position and connect it to the YPAO MIC jack on the front panel.
   The screen shown in illustration appears on the TV.
   Note
   Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position (same height as your ears). We recommend the use of a tripod as a microphone stand.
   You can use the tripod screws to stabilize the microphone.
3. Press ENTER.
   The measurement will start in 10 seconds.
   It takes about 3 minutes to measure.
   The screen shown in illustration appears on the TV when the measurement finishes.
   Note
   If an error message (such as E-1) or warning message (such as W-2) appears, see "Error messages" or "Warning messages" under "Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)" in the Owner's Manual.
4. Confirm the results displayed on the screen and press ENTER.
5. Use the cursor keys (e/r) to select "SAVE" (Save) and press ENTER.
6. Disconnect the YPAO microphone from the unit.
   This completes optimization of the speaker settings.
