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 automatic setup procedure.
• To achieve the best results, make sure the room is as quiet as
possible while the automatic setup procedure is in progress. If
there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be
satisfactory.
y
• If an error occurs during the automatic setup procedure and an
error or warning message appears in the GUI screen or in the
front panel display, see the “Auto Setup” section in
“Troubleshooting” on pages 135 and 136 for a complete list of
error and warning messages and proper remedies.
• The initial setting for each parameter is indicated in bold.
• Before performing operations, set the operation mode selector
on the remote control to DAMP.
