Optimizing The Speaker Settings Automatically (Ypao) - Yamaha Aventage RX-A780 Owner's Manual

Optimizing the speaker settings automatically
(YPAO)
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.
Note
▪ Use YPAO after connecting a TV and speakers to the unit.
▪ Configure the corresponding speaker settings manually before performing YPAO. For details on the
settings, see the following:
– "Assigning speaker configuration" (p.41)
▪ During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume, and you cannot adjust the volume.
▪ During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible and do not stand between the
speakers and the YPAO microphone for accurate measurement.
▪ Do not connect headphones.
