Yamaha has provided a
second remote control
dedicated to GUI use. The
large round cursor control in
the center makes it easy to
navigate the on-screen menus
and enter desired commands.
It also has power, volume
and mute buttons.
Easy Setup and Operation
An ergonomic design ensures simple,
convenient operation. Everything from
the layout of the controls to the display
menus has been planned to make using it
easy and enjoyable.
Program Name and Surround Sound
Indications
The front panel display presents
comprehensive information about
operating status, including the program
name, whether it is a Tri-Field
CINEMA DSP or Quad-Field CINEMA
DSP program, and much more. You’ll
never be confused about what mode you
are in.
listen. Activating the YPAO function
causes test tones to be emitted from
the speakers. These tones are picked up
by the Optimizer Microphone and then
analyzed. Based on the results, a variety
of audio parameters are precisely
calibrated to optimize the sound at the
listening position. You enjoy not only
better sound, but the BEST sound for
each and every room.
On-Screen Display with GUI and
Dedicated Remote Control
(RX-Z9)
The RX-Z9 has the best looking and
easiest to use on-screen display you’ve
ever seen. This is due in part to the
high quality video circuitry, which
provides sharp, clear images. The GUI
(Graphical User Interface) includes
extensive yet easily understandable
setup menus and has been designed to
make it easy to select and adjust desired
functions.
And to further simplify operation,
Each generation of Yamaha receivers
brings an evolution of our popular
features while adding innovative
enhancements to improve the operating
experience. This is why even though our
receivers are the most technologically
advanced, they remain remarkably easy
to use and enjoy. Although these
receivers look like formidable machines,
you’ll soon appreciate just how
convenient and enjoyable they are to use.
A World’s First! — YPAO
(RX-Z9,
RX-V2400, RX-V1400, RX-V750 and RX-V650)
The RX-Z9, RX-V2400 and RX-V1400
are the first receivers
to give you the
benefits of a 10-band
[RX-V2400 and
RX-V1400: 7-band]
(selected from 25
bands) parametric
equalizer, which
automatically
modifies the audio
output to provide
precisely the best sound for the acoustics
of the room. The unit comes supplied
with a high precision Optimizer
Microphone, which you simply place in
the position where you most frequently
Graphic Equalizer vs. Parametric Equalizer
YPAO
YPAO provides frequency
response compensation of all
channels via a 10-band*
parametric equalizer.
Graphic equalizers adjust only
the level, while parametric
equalizers adjust level,
frequency and Q factor, thus
providing more detailed and
effective sound equalization.

1) Speaker Connections
Checks for missing connections and
subwoofer phase control (here the right
surround speaker is not connected).
2) Speaker Distance
Measures speaker distances from
the listening point and corrects
for differences down to 5cm.
3) Speaker Size
Checks speaker sizes (large
or small) and subwoofer
crossover frequency.
4) Speaker Frequency Response
Measures and optimizes each
speaker’s frequency response using
the parametric equalizer.
5) Sound Pressure Level
Measures and aligns the
sound pressure levels of
all speakers.
