• (U.S.A. and Canada models only)
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  MIN”. For details, see “Setting the
speaker impedance” in “Owner’s Manual”.

Using a banana plug
(U.S.A., Canada, Australia and General models only)
a Tighten the speaker terminal.

The unit (rear)

• Use a subwoofer equipped with built-in amplifier.
• 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.

the ends of the speaker cable and twist the bare wires of
the cable firmly together.

5 Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

1

Connect the YPAO microphone to the
YPAO MIC jack on the front panel.
The following screen appears.

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.

Auto Setup

• 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.
