Setting Up The Speaker Parameters Automatically (Ypao) - Yamaha RX-A800 Owner's Manual

Setting up the speaker parameters automatically (YPAO)

This unit is equipped with a Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) 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, such as adjusting speaker output and acoustic parameters to suit your listening room (the room in which this unit is placed).
The amount of time for measurement varies from about two to
ten minutes according to settings. Be aware of the following
when using YPAO.
• The test tone is output at high volume. Refrain from using this
function at night when it may be a nuisance to others.
• Take care that the test tone does not frighten small children.
YPAO operations can be viewed on the front panel display or
TV screen.
J
1 : When you have changed the number of speakers or the locations in which they
are installed, first use YPAO to adjust the speaker balance.
Check the following before using YPAO.
