Optimizing The Speaker Setting For Your Listening Room (Ypao); Using Auto Setup - Yamaha HTR-6260 Owner's Manual

Optimizing the speaker setting for your listening room (YPAO)

This unit has a Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO). With the YPAO, this unit automatically adjusts the
output characteristics of your speakers based on speaker position, speaker performance, and the acoustic characteristics
of the room. We recommend that you first adjust the output characteristics with the YPAO when you use this unit.
Notes
• 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
procedure.
• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as
quiet as possible while the "Auto Setup" procedure is
in progress. If there is too much ambient noise, the
results may not be satisfactory.
y
• See page 51 for the "Manual Setup" procedure.
