About this product and manual
Thank you very much for purchasing this Yamaha product. This product is a network-compatible Receiver (2-
channel stereo amplifier) which lets you play music content from the radio or a network in your home as well
as analog and digital audio inputs. With the YPAO function which optimizes the sound field automatically,
you can enjoy the sound that best matches your room.
This manual (guide) is organized as follows. Please be sure to read each of the guides that came with the
product and keep them handy for easy reference.
Safety Guide (Included with the Product)
Lists important safety precautions that should be read prior to use.
Quick Guide (Included with the Product)
This guide explains things from basic connections up through playing Internet radio.

Terminology and technical explanations
Following are explanations of terminology used in this guide.
USB DAC
The USB DAC converts digital audio signals, sent via a USB cable connected to a computer, into an analog
audio signal, which allows it to be played. This makes it possible for computer applications to play high-
quality audio.
YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer)
This is a proprietary Yamaha technology that automatically optimizes for room acoustics. A special YPAO
microphone is used to detect speaker connections and measure the distance from them to the listening
position. It measures the acoustic characteristics of the space and automatically adjusts parameters such as
volume balance and frequency characteristics.
Bi-wiring Connections
When connecting an amplifier to speakers, this connection method uses separate wires for the low-
frequency speaker unit (woofer) and the mid-high frequency speaker unit (tweeter). This method of
connection is possible if the speakers are bi-wiring compatible (if they have terminals for both low-
frequencies and mid/high frequencies).
Loudness
This function makes it easier to hear bass and treble even at low volumes. It allows the listener to enjoy
natural sound even at low volumes by compensating for the human auditory characteristic that makes it
difficult to hear bass and treble at low volumes.
Please refer to the following website for other terms and technical explanations. It explains terms and
technologies related to Yamaha AV products in general, not just for this product.

product. Doing so may damage the product and/or the speakers.
NOTE
Be sure to connect to the jacks correctly: left channel (L), right channel (R) and + (red), - (black). If connected incorrectly, no audio may
be output from the speakers. Also, if the polarity is wrong, the audio may sound strange.
nConnecting via banana plug (Models for U.S.A., Canada, China, Taiwan and for Central
and South America)
When using a banana plug, tighten the knob of the speaker terminal and insert a banana plug into the end of
the terminal.

Making bi-wiring connections
Bi-wiring allows output to the speaker woofers (low frequency) and the tweeter/mid-range (mid to high-
frequency) to be split and driven separately. Speakers compatible with bi-wiring are required for these
connections.
1Remove the short bar or bridge attached to the jacks of the speakers.
2Connect the product and the speakers as illustrated.
The illustration shows connecting the left channel. Connect the right channel in the same way.
Swapping the connections between speaker jacks A and B is OK.

Automatic adjustment of speaker settings (YPAO)
Running YPAO
To run YPAO, the included YPAO microphone must be used.
YPAO is a function that adjusts acoustic characteristics such as volume balance by detecting speaker
connections and the distance between your listening position and the speakers. This function can be applied
either to speakers directly connected to the speaker jacks of this product, or to speakers driven by an
external amp connected to the PRE OUT jacks.
NOTE
(YPAO makes loud sounds while it is running. The volume cannot be adjusted.
(To ensure correct YPAO adjustment, pay attention to the following while it is running.
(Do not make any loud noises.
(Do not get in between the speakers and the YPAO microphone.
(Do not plug in headphones.
(If you change the speaker’s configuration, such as replacing a speaker or adding/removing a subwoofer, be sure to run YPAO again.
1On the front panel, check the following before running YPAO.
(BASS and TREBLE are in their center positions.
(BALANCE is in its center position.
(LOUDNESS is in its center position (FLAT).
(PURE DIRECT is OFF.
2Press the SPEAKERS A key and/or SPEAKERS B key to select the speakers to use.
(If they are connected with bi-wiring, turn ON both Speakers A and B (A+B).
(When using an amplifier connected to the PRE OUT terminal, turn OFF both Speakers A and
B.
NOTE
This operation can be done also with SPEAKERS on the front panel.
3If a subwoofer will be used, turn its power ON and adjust the volume to its
midpoint.
If the crossover frequency can be adjusted, set it to the maximum.
If a subwoofer will not be used, go to the next step.

when storing it.
NOTE
(Running YPAO automatically enables the YPAO Volume function, which is linked to the volume and automatically adjusts the bass/
treble balance. This allows you to enjoy a natural balance in sound quality, even at low volumes.
(Run the YPAO process for each set of speakers that will be used. Speaker settings are saved individually for each of the speakers
used (A, B, A+B and Off).
(Error messages may be displayed during auto-adjustment, and/or warning messages may appear in the results.

compensating for the human auditory characteristic that makes it difficult to hear bass and treble at low
volumes.
CAUTION
(If you enable Pure Direct after adjusting LOUDNESS, the input signal bypasses the loudness adjustment function and the
volume increases suddenly. To protect your ears and the speakers from damage, always check the state of LOUDNESS before
enabling Pure Direct, and if it is set to any position other than FLAT, lower the volume.
