Yamaha HTR-5960 Auto Setup, Connecting the optimizer microphone, Speaker wiring WIRING, Notes

AUTO SETUP

This unit employs the YPAO (YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) technology which lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieves highly accurate sound adjustments. The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound your speakers produce in your actual listening environment.

YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system.

Speaker wiring WIRING

Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of each speaker.

Speaker distance DISTANCE

Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the timing of each channel.

Speaker size SIZE

Checks the frequency response of each speaker and sets the appropriate low-frequency crossover for each channel.

Parametric equalizer EQ

Adjusts the frequency and the parametric equalizer level of each channel to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. This is particularly important if you use different brands of sizes of speakers for some channels or have a room with unique sonic characteristics. In addition, the frequency response of each channel is adjusted in accordance with the sound output from your front speakers.

Volume level LEVEL

Checks and adjusts the volume level of each speaker.

Notes

•Be advised that it is normal for loud test tones to be output during the “AUTO SETUP” procedure.

•If the “AUTO SETUP” procedure stops and an error or warning message appears on your video monitor, see the “AUTO SETUP” section in “TROUBLESHOOTING” on page 112 for appropriate remedies.

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

•The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct sunlight and do not place it on top of this unit.
