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.
• When you use the front 5.1-channel speaker (Virtual CINEMA FRONT)
configuration (p.13), set "Virtual CINEMA FRONT" (p.76) in the "Setup" menu to
"On" beforehand.
• Please note the following when using YPAO.
– Use YPAO after connecting a TV and speakers to the unit.
– During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. Ensure that
the test tones do not frighten small children.
– During the measuring process, you cannot adjust the volume.
– During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible.
– Do not connect headphones.
– Do not stand between the speakers and the YPAO microphone during the
measurement process (about 3 minutes).
