Establishing a wireless connection

Yamaha’s proprietary yAired technology enables the wireless connection of the center unit and subwoofer. Wireless connection of the subwoofer allows for subwoofer installation without concern for cables. When the transmitter (YIT-W12TX) is used, iPods or computers can be connected wirelessly to play music stored on these devices through this unit. For details of YIT-W12TX, refer to “Safety and Accessory Information” (separate booklet).

When playing content from a TV or Blu-ray disc player, the center unit transmits audio signals that are received by the subwoofer. When YIT-W12TX is used to play songs stored on an iPod or computer, YIT-W12TX sends audio signals that are received by the center unit and subwoofer.

The same group ID must be assigned to all components. By default, the center unit, subwoofer, and YIT-W12TX are assigned a group ID of A1. This group ID does not need to be changed.

Group IDs

The center unit, subwoofer, and YIT-W12TX can be assigned a group ID from three possible sets: A1–A3, B1–B3, C1–C3. A1–A3, B1–B3: Audio delay is less than that of the C1–C3 set. C1–C3: Use when playing music stored on a computer via this unit (☞p. 48). To prevent wireless connection of another yAired Yamaha sound system or device installed near this unit or the YIT-W12TX, assign a different group ID to this unit and the YIT-W12TX.

Displaying the menu screen on the TV

Visual operation of this unit is possible by displaying its menu screen on the TV. Use the button for switching between input sources on the TV’s remote control to select this unit. When this unit and the TV are connected as shown below, select “HDMI 1”.

Auto setup for appropriate surround effects (IntelliBeam)

Due to differences in room sizes and shapes, positioning of this unit, and the lifestyle of users, settings for each channel must be adjusted in order for this unit to provide the optimal listening experience. This unit is equipped with IntelliBeam, which automatically adjusts settings for each channel. IntelliBeam offers two features, “beam optimization” and “sound optimization”.

Beam optimization:

This feature optimizes the beam angle so that the parameter best matches your listening environment.

Sound optimization:

This feature optimizes the beam delay, volume, and quality so that the parameters best match your listening environment. This unit performs these two automatic optimizations with the aid of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone.

Notes

• The AUTO SETUP procedure may not be run successfully if this unit is installed in one of the rooms described in “Conditions that make it difficult for sound beams to achieve surround sound” on page 11. The My Surround function can be used to enjoy rich surround sound in these types of rooms as well. See “Changing the audio output method for surround playback” (☞p. 36, 37) for more information.

• Do not connect the IntelliBeam microphone to an extension cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.

• After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure to disconnect the IntelliBeam microphone.

• The IntelliBeam microphone is sensitive to heat. – Keep the IntelliBeam microphone away from direct sunlight. – Do not place the IntelliBeam microphone on top of this unit.

Installing the IntelliBeam microphone

Place the IntelliBeam microphone at your normal listening position.

• Use the supplied cardboard microphone stand or a tripod to place the IntelliBeam microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated.

• Position the IntelliBeam microphone so that it is parallel with the floor.
