Automatic adjustment of speaker settings (YPAO)
Running YPAO
To run YPAO, the included YPAO microphone must be used.
YPAO is a function that adjusts acoustic characteristics such as volume balance by detecting speaker
connections and the distance between your listening position and the speakers. This function can be applied
either to speakers directly connected to the speaker jacks of this product, or to speakers driven by an
external amp connected to the PRE OUT jacks.
NOTE
(
YPAO makes loud sounds while it is running. The volume cannot be adjusted.
(
To ensure correct YPAO adjustment, pay attention to the following while it is running.
(
Do not make any loud noises.
(
Do not get in between the speakers and the YPAO microphone.
(
Do not plug in headphones.
(
If you change the speaker’s configuration, such as replacing a speaker or adding/removing a subwoofer, be sure to run YPAO again.
