Setting the speaker impedance

How to connect speakers

(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 speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”.
Before connecting speakers, connect the power cable to an AC
1
wall outlet.
While holding down STRAIGHT on the front panel, press z
2
(power).
Check that “SP IMP.” is displayed on the front display.
3
Press STRAIGHT to select “6 Ω MIN”.
4
Press z (power) to set the unit to standby mode and remove the
5
power cable from the AC wall outlet.
You are now ready to connect the speakers.
Connecting the speaker
n
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.
Notice
When connecting the speaker cables, take notice of the following:
▪ 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.
– Twist the bare wires of the speaker cables firmly together.
– 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).

Cable requirements

Use the following types of commercially-available cables to connect speakers to the unit:
Speaker cables (the number of speakers required)
Audio pin cable (for connecting a subwoofer)

HDMI connection with a TV

Connect a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable. If you connect a TV that supports ARC to the unit, you can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.
About Audio Return Channel (ARC)
▪ ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways with a single HDMI cable. To use ARC, connect to the TV
using an HDMI cable that supports ARC.
Note
▪ 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 the following:
– “HDMI Control and synchronized operations” (p.102)
– “Audio Return Channel (ARC)” (p.103)
▪ If your TV does not support Audio Return Channel (ARC), a digital optical cable connection between the
TV and the unit is needed.

VIDEO (composite video) connection with a TV

Connect a TV to the unit with a video pin cable and a digital optical cable.
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. For details, see the following:
– “Video signal flow” (p.101)
▪ Operations with TV screen are available only when your TV is connected to the unit via HDMI.
▪ 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 case:
– If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box

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
▪ Use YPAO after connecting a TV and speakers to the unit.
▪ Configure the corresponding speaker settings manually before performing YPAO. For details on the
settings, see the following:
– “Assigning speaker configuration” (p.26)
▪ During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume, and you cannot adjust the volume.
▪ During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible and do not stand between the
speakers and the YPAO microphone for accurate measurement.
▪ Do not connect headphones.
