Caution:

• Remove the power cable of this unit from the power outlet before

connecting the speakers.

• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated

cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different colored (or lined) cable into the “+” (positive, red) terminal on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the “-” (minus, black) terminal.

• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch

anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear on the front panel display when this unit is switched on.

• This unit is con gured for 8 Ω speakers at the factory setting.

When connecting 6 Ω speakers, con gure the speaker impedance setting of this unit to 6 Ω. When this unit is con gured for 6 Ω speakers, 4 Ω speakers can also be used as the front speakers. For more information on setting the speaker impedance, refer to “Changing speaker impedance” in the Owner’s Manual.

• When connecting the presence speakers, refer to “Presence speaker

connection” in the Owner’s Manual.

• This unit can connect speakers that support Bi-amp connection for front

speakers. Refer to “Bi-amp connection” in the Owner’s Manual.

Connecting speakers

Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) of

insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires of the cables together  rmly so that they will not cause short circuits.

Loosen the speaker terminals.

Insert the bare wire of the speaker cable into the

gap on the side of the terminal.

Tighten the terminal.

Connecting the subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer input jack to the SUBWOOFER

1 jack on this unit with an audio pin cable.

(

ONT

)

Connecting the banana plug

Tighten the knob, and then insert the banana plug into the end of the terminal.

Set up the speaker parameters automatically (YPAO)

When all connections are complete, adjust the con guration, sizes, and volume balance of the speakers to provide an optimal sound  eld. This unit is equipped with a Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) function that adjusts the speaker balance automatically with a simple procedure.

Be aware of the following when using YPAO.

• The amount of time for measurement varies from about two to ten minutes according to settings.

• The test tone is output at high volume. Refrain from using this function at night when it may be a nuisance to others.

• Take care that the test tone does not frighten small children.

YPAO operations can be viewed on the front panel display or TV screen. TV display is used here to explain operation.

Check the following before using YPAO.

This unit

• The headphones are removed.

• This unit is connected to the TV correctly.

• The power is turned on.

• The video input to which the video output from this unit has been selected.

Subwoofer

• The power is turned on.

• Volume is set to approximately half, and the cross-over frequency (if present) is set to maximum.

Place the supplied YPAO microphone at ear height in your listening

position.

• When positioning the microphone, we recommend that you use equipment that allows you to adjust the height (such as a tripod) as a microphone stand. When using a tripod, use the tripod screws to  x the microphone in place.

• Measuring, for multiple listening positions, is also available. For more information, refer to “Setting up the speaker parameters automatically (YPAO)” in the Owner’s Manual.

Press RECEIVER A on the remote control to switch this unit on.

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

“Mic On View ON SCREEN” appears on the front panel display, and the display at right appears on the TV screen. YPAO can be performed viewing only front panel display on this unit without the TV screen.

YPAO microphone

Opening and closing the front panel door

Before step 4, gently press the bottom of the door to open it. Keep the door closed when not using controls or jacks behind the front panel door.

This completes preparation. To achieve more accurate results, take note of the following when measuring acoustics.

• Keep the room as quiet as possible for a few minutes.

• Wait in a corner of the room, or leave it entirely, while acoustics are measured to avoid creating an obstruction between the speakers and the YPAO microphone.
