■ Connecting speaker cables

Each speaker has two speaker cables. One is for
connecting the - (negative) terminal of the unit and the
speaker, and the other is for the + (positive) terminal.
The cables are different colors, so they do not get mixed
up. Connect the black side to the - (negative) terminal
and the other side to the + (positive) terminal.

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in.) of insulation

from the end of the speaker cable and twist the bare
wire firmly.

2 Loosen the speaker

terminal.

3 Insert the bare wire

into the gap on the
side of terminal.
When it is difficult to
insert the wire into the
gap on the side,
insert it into the gap downside of terminal.

4 Tighten the terminal.

What is the HDMI control function?

By connecting a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable, some operations for the unit are
available with the TV’s remote control, such as turning on/standby and volume
control. If playback devices that support the HDMI control function (BD/DVD
players, etc.) are connected to the unit, these are also acceptable. For more details,
refer to “HDMI Control” (p.92).

What is the Audio Return Channel (ARC)?

If your TV supports the ARC, TV audio can be output to the unit by using an HDMI
cable transmitting video signals from the unit to a TV.

TV

• When connecting a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable, video signals from all types of the video input jacks

can be output from the HDMI OUT jack. For more details, refer to “Video signal flow” (p.91).

• By connecting a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable, each function for the unit can be configured while

viewing the TV monitor (p.63).

Necessary settings

To use the HDMI control function and ARC, the following settings are required in
advance.

1 After connecting external devices (TV, playback devices, etc.) and AC

power cable, turn on the unit, TV and playback devices.

The unit and devices are also turned off automatically with the TV’s operation. If they
do not turn off, turn them off manually.

c Turn on the TV.

The unit also turns on with the TV. If the unit does not turn on, turn it on manually.

d Change input video source on the TV to video signals from the unit.

e Turn on the playback devices, and then confirm the following:

Unit: Whether the input signals from the playback devices are selected as the HDMI
input source (any of “HDMI 1-5”). When it is not selected, select the correct input
source manually.

TV: Whether the video signals from the playback devices are displayed on the TV
screen.

f Confirm whether the unit is linked with operations of the TV remote control as follows:

Turning on/standby, volume control and selecting audio output devices.

If these operations are not available, check that “HDMI Control” (p.72) in the “Setup”
menu is set to “On.”

• If playing back audio source by using the ARC function has a problem, set “ARC” in the “Setup” menu

to “Off,” and connect the TV and the unit with an optical cable (p.20).

• If the HDMI control function does not work correctly, it may be effective to turn off the devices to reset

them or plug in the power cable and retry with the power cable plugged in.

• If the power-on operation is not linked, confirm the priority of audio output settings for the TV.

All settings have been completed.

When a TV program is selected with the TV remote control, input source of the unit is
switched to “AV4” automatically, and TV sound is output.

If it does not work correctly, confirm that the “ARC” in the “Setup” menu is set to “On.”

• “AV4” is selected as the input sound source from a TV as the default setting. When the AV4 jack is

used for another device, select an input jack to be used for the TV audio in “TV Audio Input” on the

“Setup” menu. Also, when using the SCENE functions (p.35), register the appropriate input source on

SCENE (TV).

The YPAO microphone (supplied) detects the status of speaker
connections and the distance between these speakers and the
listening position, and adjusts the volume balance and the tone
settings automatically (YPAO: Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic
Optimizer).

• Be aware of the following when using YPAO.

- After completing the connection of a TV, speakers, and so on, start YPAO

measurement.

- The test tone is output at a high volume while measuring. Please take care that

the test tone does not frighten any small children. Also, avoid using YPAO at

night, so as to not make your neighbors troubled.

- Keep your room quiet while measuring.

- Do not connect headphones to the unit.

- YPAO can be performed by viewing the front display of the unit.

Preparation before using YPAO

1 Press RECEIVER to turn on the unit.
2 Turn on the TV, and then select the input source of

the TV to the video input from the HDMI OUT jack of
the unit.

3 Turn on the subwoofer, and then set the volume of

the subwoofer to half. The cross-over frequency is
set to maximum if it is present.
