Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

By using the Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) function, this unit automatically detects speaker
connections and distances from the listening position, and optimizes the speaker settings such as volume balance and
acoustic parameters to suit your room.
• During the measuring process, the test tones are output at high volume. Take care
that the test tone does not frighten small children. Also, refrain from using this
function at night when it may be a nuisance to others.
• During the measuring process, you cannot adjust the volume.
• During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible.
• Do not connect headphones.
• If your subwoofer supports the auto-standby function, disable it.
• YPAO measurement is not performed correctly when any obstacles are in the room.
• During the measuring process (about 3 minutes), keep stuff in the corners or
remove it from the room.
Preparing for YPAO
Turned on the subwoofer and set
the volume to half. If the
cross-over frequency is
adjustable, set it to maximum.
