Flow of the speaker configurations
Before using the unit, adjust the speaker settings such as volume balance and acoustic parameters. With the
supplied YPAO microphone, the unit detects speaker connections and measures the distances from them to
your listening position(s) that is measuring position(s). And then, the unit automatically optimizes the
speaker settings such as volume balance and acoustic parameters. (YPAO: Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic
Optimizer)
NOTE
( During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. You cannot adjust the volume.
( During the measuring process, stay in a back corner of the room and note the following for accurate measurement.
(Keep the room as quiet as possible.
(Do not block sound between the speakers and the YPAO microphone.

Playing back Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content creates realistic sound that comes from every direction,
including overhead. To receive the full effect, we recommend a speaker system with front presence speakers.
About Dolby Atmos®

( Dolby Atmos content is decoded as Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus in the following situations. (Dolby Atmos PCM format is
always decoded as Dolby Atmos.)
( Neither surround back nor front presence speakers are used. (When Dolby Speaker Virtualization is enabled, it is decoded as
Dolby Atmos.)
( Headphones are used (2-channel playback).
About DTS:X™
( You can adjust the volume of dialogue sounds in “DTS Dialogue Control” in the “Setup” menu.
( When the DTS:X decoder is selected, virtual surround processing does not work.
