Terminology and technical explanations
Following are explanations of terminology used in this guide.
ARC
This is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel. The audio from a TV can be played on an audio/video device simply by connecting an HDMI cable between an ARC compatible HDMI IN port on the TV and an ARC compatible HDMI OUT port on the audio/video device.
HDMI
This is a digital interface that conforms to the HDMI standard (High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification), which is a global industry standard. It allows digital audio/video signals to be transmitted over a single cable, without degradation. It is also compatible with copyright protection technologies (HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection system). For further details, please visit https://www.hdmi.org.
USB DAC
The USB DAC converts digital audio signals, sent via a USB cable connected to a computer, into an analog audio signal, which allows it to be played. This makes it possible for computer applications to play high­quality audio.
YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer)
This is a proprietary Yamaha technology that automatically optimizes for room acoustics. A special YPAO microphone is used to detect speaker connections and measure the distance from them to the listening position. It measures the acoustic characteristics of the space and automatically adjusts parameters such as volume balance and frequency characteristics.
Bi-wiring Connections
When connecting an amplifier to speakers, this connection method uses separate wires for the low­frequency speaker unit (woofer) and the mid-high frequency speaker unit (tweeter). This method of connection is possible if the speakers are bi-wiring compatible (if they have terminals for both low­frequencies and mid/high frequencies).
Loudness
This function makes it easier to hear bass and treble even at low volumes. It allows the listener to enjoy natural sound even at low volumes by compensating for the human auditory characteristic that makes it difficult to hear bass and treble at low volumes.
Please refer to the following website for other terms and technical explanations. It explains terms and technologies related to Yamaha AV products in general, not just for this product.

PREPARATION > Connecting speakers
1 Peel off about 10 mm of insulation on the end of the speaker cable and twist its
core tightly.
2 Turn the knob of the speaker jack to the left to loosen it, then insert the core of the
speaker cable into the hole in the jack.
3 Turn the knob back to the right to tighten it.
NOTICE
(
When preparing the speaker cable, do so far away from the product. Pieces of the core wires of the speaker cable may fall inside the product and cause a short circuit, resulting in malfunction.
(
Do not allow the core wires of a speaker cable to touch the core wires of another speaker cable or any metal parts of the product. Doing so may damage the product and/or the speakers.
NOTE
Be sure to connect to the jacks correctly: left channel (L), right channel (R) and + (red), - (black). If connected incorrectly, no audio may be output from the speakers. Also, if the polarity is wrong, the audio may sound strange.

Making bi-wiring connections
Bi-wiring allows output to the speaker woofers (low frequency) and the tweeter/mid-range (mid to high­frequency) to be split and driven separately. Speakers compatible with bi-wiring are required for these connections.
1 Remove the short bar or bridge attached to the jacks of the speakers. 2 Connect the product and the speakers as illustrated.
The illustration shows connecting the left channel. Connect the right channel in the same way.
Swapping the connections between speaker jacks A and B is OK.
NOTE
(
If the system is connected with bi-wiring, turn ON both Speakers A and B by pressing the SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B keys when the power is ON.
(
Use speakers with an impedance of at least 4 Ω and that are compatible with bi-wiring connections.

Automatic adjustment of speaker settings (YPAO)
Running YPAO
To run YPAO, the included YPAO microphone must be used.
YPAO is a function that adjusts acoustic characteristics such as volume balance by detecting speaker connections and the distance between your listening position and the speakers. This function can be applied either to speakers directly connected to the speaker jacks of this product, or to speakers driven by an external amp connected to the PRE OUT jacks.
NOTE
(
YPAO makes loud sounds while it is running. The volume cannot be adjusted.
(
To ensure correct YPAO adjustment, pay attention to the following while it is running.
(
Do not make any loud noises.
(
Do not get in between the speakers and the YPAO microphone.
(
Do not plug in headphones.
(
If you change the speaker’s configuration, such as replacing a speaker or adding/removing a subwoofer, be sure to run YPAO again.
1 On the front panel, check the following before running YPAO.
(
BASS and TREBLE are in their center positions.
(
BALANCE is in its center position.
(
LOUDNESS is in its center position (FLAT).
(
PURE DIRECT is OFF.
2 Press the SPEAKERS A key and/or SPEAKERS B key to select the speakers to use.
(
If they are connected with bi-wiring, turn ON both Speakers A and B (A+B).
(
When using an amplifier connected to the PRE OUT terminal, turn OFF both Speakers A and B.
NOTE
This operation can be done also with SPEAKERS on the front panel.
3 If a subwoofer will be used, turn its power ON and adjust the volume to its
midpoint.
If the crossover frequency can be adjusted, set it to the maximum.
If a subwoofer will not be used, go to the next step.
NOTE
The actual subwoofer volume and crossover frequency are set by the YPAO function of this product. However, during Pure Direct playback, they follow the subwoofer's setting. When using Pure Direct, adjust the subwoofer volume and crossover frequency to your favorite value, and then run YPAO.

Making it easier to hear bass and treble at low volumes (LOUDNESS)
It lowers the volume of the midrange and allows the listener to enjoy natural sound even at low volumes by compensating for the human auditory characteristic that makes it difficult to hear bass and treble at low volumes.
CAUTION
(
If you enable Pure Direct after adjusting LOUDNESS, the input signal bypasses the loudness adjustment function and the volume increases suddenly. To protect your ears and the speakers from damage, always check the state of LOUDNESS before enabling Pure Direct, and if it is set to any position other than FLAT, lower the volume.
1 Put LOUDNESS to the FLAT position. 2 Turn VOLUME up to the maximum level at which you normally listen to music. 3 Turn LOUDNESS counterclockwise to a moderate volume.
NOTE
(
If the YPAO Volume function is enabled, loudness adjustment cannot be used.

When Pure Direct is used, the settings are disabled (equivalent to the FLAT position).
