Connecting Speakers

Using commercially available speakers or cables

When using speakers or cables other than those of the YAMAHA NX-P150 (consisting of four satellite speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer) and its supplied cables, be careful of the following. When using a commercially available speaker cable, remove the cable plug from one of the supplied speaker cables and attach it to the cable you are using.

When using commercially available speakers

• Use speakers with 6-ohm impedance or more. If a speaker with less than 6-ohm impedance is used, the protective circuit may trip or the speaker may malfunction.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers to prevent interferences with a TV. If these speakers still interfere with a TV, move the speakers a little away from the TV.

• We recommend using speakers of the same manufacturer that have identical sound qualities. If they are mixed, certain sounds may be heard unnaturally.

• Use speaker cables that are the same thickness as the supplied cables.

When using commercially available speaker cables

• Use speaker cables that are the same thickness as the supplied cables.

2 Peel away about 10 mm (10/32”) of covering

from the tip of the new cable and twist the cable core firmly in a clockwise direction.

Auto Speaker Setup (YPAO)

With the YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) feature, you can avoid troublesome speaker setup and achieve highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound that the speakers produce in your actual listening environment. We recommend that you perform YPAO each time when you change the speaker layout or listening position. To configure the speaker settings manually, refer to “Adjusting the Speaker Balance During Playback” (page 64).

YPAO performs the following adjustments:

YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system.

• Wiring/Polarity

Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of each speaker. Also checks and adjusts the sound level (volume) of each speaker so that the sound level of each speaker is the same when heard from the listening position.

• Distance/Phase

Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the delay of each channel so that the sound from each speaker reaches the listening position at the same time. Also checks the phase of each speaker.

•Size

Checks the speakers frequency response and sets the crossover/high cut frequency for the subwoofer to improve the sound relationship between the speakers and the subwoofer.

The CinemaStation stores speaker settings configured by YPAO and manual setup individually. You can switch between them by turning on/off the YPAO mode (page 23).

Notes

• Since loud test tones will be output during the setup procedure, be sure to keep small children out of the room.

• For the best results, make sure the room is as quiet as possible during the setup procedure. If there is too much noise, the results may not be satisfactory.

• Disconnect the headphones from the SILENT CINEMA jack on the CinemaStation before starting the setup procedure.

• Be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone when you have completed the setup procedure.

• The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat. Do not place it on top of the CinemaStation or in direct sunlight.

1 Make sure the CinemaStation and subwoofer

are turned off (in standby mode).

2 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone

to the YPAO MIC jack on the CinemaStation.

Optimizer microphone

3 Place the optimizer microphone on a flat

level surface with the omni-directional microphone head upward, at your normal listening position.

If possible, use a stand such as a tripod to affix the optimizer microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.
