This unit employs the YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) technology which lets you avoid
troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments automatically. The supplied
optimizer microphone collects and this unit analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening
environment.
• Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output
during the “AUTO SETUP” 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.
• We recommend that you get out of the room while this unit is in
the automatic setup procedure. Keep quiet when you leave the
room. It takes approximately 3 minutes for this unit to complete
the automatic setup procedure.
y
• The initial setting for each parameter is indicated in bold.
• Before performing operations, set the operation mode selector
on the remote control to CAMP.
