3 Connecting speakers/subwoofer
• Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm
speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s
speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”. For details, see “Setting the
speaker impedance” in “Owner’s Manual”.

1

• Use a subwoofer equipped with built-in amplifier.

Connect the front speakers (1/2)
to the FRONT (//\) and the center
speaker (3) to the CENTER terminal.

2

Connect the surround speakers
(4/5) to the SURROUND (//\)
terminals.

• Before connecting the speakers, remove the unit’s power cable
from the AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer.
• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch
each other or come into contact with the unit’s metal areas. This
may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables
short circuit, “Check SP Wires” will appear on the front display
when the unit is turned on.

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the
negative (–) terminals of the unit and the speaker, and the
other is for the positive (+) terminals. If the wires are
colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to
the negative and the other wire to the positive terminals.
a Remove approximately 10
mm (3/8”) of insulation
from the ends of the
speaker cable and twist
the bare wires of the cable
firmly together.

5 Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

1

The following screen appears on the TV.

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.
• During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. Ensure that the test
tones do not frighten small children. Also, refrain from using this function at night when it
may be a nuisance to others.

Connect the YPAO microphone to the
YPAO MIC jack on the front panel.

This completes optimization of the speaker settings.

Press RETURN and proceed to step 3.
If the speaker is connected incorrectly:
Turn off the unit, reconnect the speaker cable, and then
try YPAO measurement again.

• The YPAO microphone is sensitive to heat, so should not be
placed anywhere where it could be exposed to direct sunlight or
high temperatures (such as on top of AV equipment).
