FEATURES What you can do with this unit	En 4

Achieve true 3D surround sound including height channel audio with the unit alone

Until now, digital sound projectors have reproduced a two-dimensional sound field with five distinct sound beams: left front, right front, center, left surround, and right surround.

This unit reproduces a three-dimensional sound field offering a greater sense of immersion and depth by directing additional two sound beams (left height and right height) upward. It also enables playback in the DTS:X or Dolby Atmos format, which uses height channel audio signals as input sources. It further incorporates CINEMA DSP 3D, which produces a more effective sound field.

•The SPM-K30 may not be available in some countries or regions.

•When the unit will be installed using the wall mount bracket, all installation work should be performed by a qualified contractor or experienced retail staff. The customer should not attempt to install the unit themselves. Improper installation may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

•Installation must be secure enough to bear the weight of the unit and the wall mount bracket, possibly for years to come, and must also be secure enough to withstand vibrations, such as those caused by earthquakes. Improper installation may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

•To prevent the unit from falling, attach it to a wall constructed of drywall (plasterboard).

•Be sure to use screws capable of supporting the weight of the wall mount bracket and the unit (with steps 2 and 7). Using items other than the specified screws, such as shorter screws, nails, or double-sided tape, may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

•To ensure safety, all screws must be tightened securely. Loose screws may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

•Be sure to leave adequate space for ventilation around the unit so that heat generated by the unit is allowed to dissipate. Failure to provide adequate space around the unit may cause the unit to overheat internally, resulting in a fire.

•Do not lean on the unit or apply excessive force to the top of the unit. Doing so may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

•Fix cables in place so that they will not become loose. If a foot or hand becomes accidentally entangled in, or catches on, a loose cable, the unit may fall, resulting in personal injury.

•Once the unit is installed, safety checks should be conducted on a regular basis. When the unit is used over an extended period of time, screws can become loose and the installation can weaken due to the passage of time, vibrations, etc.

•Note that Yamaha cannot be held liable for accidents, including falling of the unit, resulting from improper installation of the unit, or for damage to walls.

“AUTO SETUP” in the “IntelliBeam” menu can automatically adjust the following two settings.

Beam optimize	This feature optimizes the beam angle so that the parameter best
only	matches your listening environment.
Sound optimize	This feature optimizes sound quality for each channel by measuring
only	the acoustic characteristics of the listening environment.

“Beam optimize only” or “Sound optimize only” can be measured separately in the setup menu (p. 32).

•Follow the instructions below and then leave the room. If you remain in the room, you may obstruct the beam, or the microphone may pickup any sounds you make, possibly resulting in improper measurement.
