How to connect speakers

Connecting the speaker
Connect a speaker cable between the negative (–) terminal of the unit and the negative (–) terminal of the speaker, and between the positive (+) terminal of the unit and the positive (+) unit of the speaker.
Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet before connecting the speaker.
NOTICE
(
Prepare speaker cables in a place away from the unit, to avoid accidentally dropping wire strands into the unit's interior which could result in a short circuit or malfunction of the unit.
(
Improper connecting of the speaker cables may cause a short circuit and also damage the unit or the speakers.
(
Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable touch one another.
(
Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable come into contact with the unit’s metal parts (rear panel and screws).
1 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.
2 Loosen the speaker terminal. 3 Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side of the terminal. 4 Tighten the terminal.
This completes the connection.

HDMI connection with a TV

Connect a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable. When the TV audio is played back on the unit, use eARC/ARC function or use a digital optical cable to input TV audio to the unit.
[Search tag]#Q02 Connect TV
NOTE
(
Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo. We recommend using a cable as short as possible to prevent signal quality degradation.
(
Use a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable or Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet to enjoy 3D or 4K Ultra HD videos.
(
When using eARC/ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports eARC/ARC (such as a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet).
(
You may need setting on the TV. Refer to the instruction manual for the TV.
Using eARC/ARC function
n
If your TV supports eARC/ARC, the TV audio is played back on the unit with only one HDMI cable. When using ARC, set the HDMI Control function to “On”.
NOTE
(
“ARC” is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel. “ARC” allows that the TV audio is played back on AV products (such as AV receiver, sound bar), by connecting the HDMI input jack that supports ARC of your TV to the HDMI OUT jack that supports ARC of your AV products with only an HDMI cable, without a digital optical cable.
(
“eARC” is an abbreviation of enhanced Audio Return Channel. “eARC”, enhanced the function of ARC, supports uncompressed 5.1­channel and 7.1-channel audio formats, and object-based surround (such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X) via compatible TV with the HDMI cable.

Configuring the speaker settings

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.
(
Do not connect headphones.
1 Select the unit’s speaker impedance settings as necessary. 2 Configure the corresponding speaker settings. 3 Set the volume of the subwoofer to half. If the crossover frequency is adjustable,
set it to maximum.
4 Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position (same height as your ears).
We recommend the use of a tripod as a microphone stand and adjust your listening position (same height as your ears). You can use the tripod screws to stabilize the microphone.

NOTE
(
“YPAO Volume” in the “Option” menu is automatically enabled after the YPAO measurement. Then, the high- and low-frequency levels are automatically adjusted according to the volume so that you can enjoy natural sounds even at low volume.
