Raise the wireless antennas so that they stand 
up straight. (Procedures for connecting the unit 
to a wireless router are described in the owner’s 
manual.) 

NOTE

: Do not use excessive force on 

the antennas — doing so may damage them.

Prepare a wired or wireless network connection in accordance with your network environment. 

NOTE

Plug the power cable into the AC wall outlet after 
all connections are complete.

Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

1

 Press ENTER. 

  The measurement will start in 10 seconds.  

It takes about three minutes to measure.  
The screen above appears on the TV when the measurement finishes. 

 

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.

2

 Use the cursor keys ( 

) to select “SAVE” and press ENTER. 

3

 Confirm the results displayed on the screen and press ENTER. 

4

  Disconnect the YPAO microphone from the unit.

 

 

Do not leave the YPAO microphone in a place where it will be exposed to high 
temperature for an extended period of time.

   

Test tones are output at high volume and may surprise or frighten small children. 

 

Test tone volume cannot be adjusted. Keep the room as quiet as possible. Stay  

in a corner of the room behind the listening position so that you do not become an  
obstacle between speakers and the YPAO microphone. Do not connect headphones. 

Preparing for YPAO measurement

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. 

1

 Press 

 (receiver power) and switch the TV input to display video from the unit 

(HDMI OUT jack). 

2

 Turn on the subwoofer and set the volume to half. 

3

 Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position and connect it to the YPAO 

MIC jack on the front panel. The screen above appears on the TV.

 

Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position (same height as your 
ears). We recommend using a tripod as a microphone stand. You can use the 
tripod mount to stabilize the microphone.
