When all connections are complete, adjust the confi guration, sizes, and volume 
balance of the speakers to provide an optimal sound fi eld. This unit is equipped with a 
Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) function that adjusts the speaker 
balance automatically with a simple procedure.

When using YPAO, a test tone will be output from the speakers for approximately 3 minutes to measure acoustics. Be aware of the following when 
using YPAO.
•  The test tone is output at high volume. Refrain from using this function at night when it may be a nuisance to others.
•  Take care that the test tone does not frighten small children.

YPAO operations can be viewed on the front panel display or TV screen. TV display is used here to explain operation.

Check the following before using YPAO.

Place the supplied YPAO microphone at ear height in your listening 
position.

•  When positioning the microphone, we recommend that you use equipment that allows you 

to adjust the height (such as a tripod) as a microphone stand. When using a tripod, use the 
tripod screws to fi x the microphone in place. 

•  Measuring, for multiple listening positions, is also available. For more information, refer to 

“Setting up the speaker parameters automatically (YPAO)” in the Owner’s Manual.

“Mic On. View ON SCREEN” appears 
on the front panel display, and then 
the display  at right appears on the 
TV screen.

This completes preparation. To achieve more accurate results, take note of the following when measuring acoustics.
•  It takes approximately 3 minutes to accurately measure acoustics. Keep the room as quiet as possible while acoustics are measured.
•  Wait in a corner of the room, or leave it entirely, while acoustics are measured to avoid creating an obstruction between the speakers and 

the YPAO  microphone.
