of the room. We recommend that you first adjust the output characteristics with the YPAO when you use this unit.

Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be
output during the “Auto Setup” procedure. Do not
allow small children to enter the room during the

To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as
quiet as possible while the “Auto Setup” procedure is

results may not be satisfactory.
