Optimizing the speaker setting for your listening room (YPAO)
This unit has the Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO). With the YPAO, this unit automatically adjusts output
characteristics of your speakers based on speaker positions, speaker performances, and 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 that 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.
