Connecting speakers/subwoofer

• (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 £_ MIN". For details, see "Setting the speaker impedance" in "Owner's Manual".

• (Except for U.S.A. and Canada models) Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6 G.

• Use a subwoofer equipped with built-in amplifier.

• Before connecting the speakers, remove the unit's power cable from the AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer.

• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch each other or come into contact with the unit's metal areas. This

may damage the unit or the speakers. Ifthe speaker cables short circuit, "Check SP Wires" will appear on the front display

when the unit is turned on.

[] Connecting speaker cables

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

(_) 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. (_) Loosen the speaker terminal. (_) Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side

(upper right or bottom left) of the terminal.

(_) Tighten the terminal.

Connect the front speakers (Ir_ll/ll_]l)

B 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.

• During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. Ensure that the test tones do not frighten small children. Also, refrain from using this function at

night when it may be a nuisance to others.

• 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).

• Move to the corner of the room or leave the room.

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

The following screen appears.

Preparing for YPAO

Turn on the subwoofer and set the volume to half. If the crossover frequency is adjustable, set it to maximum.

Use the cursor keys (_d/I>) to select

"SAVE" (Save) and press ENTER.

4 Disconnect the YPAO microphone from the

unit.

This completes optimization of the speaker settings.

• The YPAO microphone is sensitive to heat, so should not be placed anywhere where it could be exposed to direct sunlight or

Connecting speaker cables

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.

(_) 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. (_) Loosen the speaker terminal. (_) Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side

(upper right or bottom left) of the terminal.

About HDMI Control

HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. 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. You can also control playback devices (such as an HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD player) connected to the unit with an HDMI cable. For details, see "HDMI Control" (p.100).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways under HDMI Control. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control and ARC to the unit with a single HDMI cable, you

can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.
