1 Placing speakers

Select the speaker layout for the number of speakers that you are using and place the speakers and subwoofer in your room. This section describes the representative speaker layout examples.

Notice

(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 Ω MIN”. For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.15).

(Except for U.S.A. and Canada models)

Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6 W.

Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.

2 Connecting speakers

Connect the speakers placed in your room to the unit. The following diagrams provide connections for a 5.1-channel system as an example. For other systems, connect speakers while referring to the connection diagram for the 5.1-channel system.

Notice

Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before connecting the speakers.

The speaker has the polarity (+/-). Connect the speaker cable correctly between the positive (+) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and also between the negative (-) terminal of them.

Connecting speaker cables

nConnecting center/surround speakers

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminals of the unit and the speaker to each other, 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 terminal.

nConnecting front speakers

1Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cable, and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.

Note

Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo. We recommend using a cable less than 5.0 m (16.4 ft) long to prevent signal quality degradation.

The unit’s HDMI jacks support the HDMI Control, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and 3D and 4K Ultra HD video transmission (through output) features.

Use a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable or Premium High Speed Cable with Ethernet to enjoy 3D or 4K Ultra HD videos.

Connecting a TV

Connect a TV to the unit so that video input to the unit can be output to the TV. You can also enjoy playback of TV audio on the unit.

To maximize the performance of the unit, we recommend connecting a TV with an HDMI cable.

Note

A digital optical cable connection allows audio from the TV to be played back on the unit. A digital optical cable connection is not needed in the following cases:

If your TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)

If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box

If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit’s power and volume with the TV’s remote control.

To use HDMI Control and ARC, you need to configure the HDMI settings on the unit. For details on the settings, see “Information on HDMI” (p.80).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways. If you connect a TV that supports ARC to the unit with a single HDMI cable, you can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.

When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

nComposite video connection

When connecting any video device with a video pin cable, connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO) jack.

Note

If you connect your TV to the unit with a cable other than HDMI, video input to the unit via HDMI cannot be output to the TV.

Operations with TV screen are available only when your TV is connected to the unit via HDMI.

If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box, you do not need to make an audio cable connection between the TV and the unit.

7 Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)

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.

Note

When you use the front 5.1-channel speaker (Virtual CINEMA FRONT) configuration (p.13), set “Virtual CINEMA FRONT” (p.55) in the “Setup” menu to “On” beforehand.

Please note the following when using YPAO.

Use YPAO after connecting a TV and speakers to the unit.

During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. Ensure that the test tones do not frighten small children.

During the measuring process, you cannot adjust the volume.

During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible.

Do not connect headphones.

Do not stand between the speakers and the YPAO microphone during the measurement process (about 3 minutes).
