Set Up The Speaker Parameters Automatically (Ypao) - Yamaha RX-V371BL Owner's Manual

Set up the speaker parameters automatically (YPAO)

This unit is equipped with a YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer) that adjusts the status, size, and volume balance of the speakers in order to provide an optimal sound field. Using
YPAO allows you to automatically configure settings for which specialist knowledge is usually needed, such as adjusting speaker output and acoustic parameters to suit your listening room (the room
J1
in which this unit is placed).
When you use YPAO, a test tone will be output from the
speakers for approximately three minutes and acoustic
measuring will be performed. When using YPAO, be careful of
the following.
• The test tone is output at high volume. Please refrain from using
this function at night when it may be a nuisance to others nearby.
• Please take care that the test tone does not frighten any small
children.
