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 color-
coded to prevent confusion, you should connect the black
side to the negative terminal and the other wire to the
positive terminal.
1Remove approximately
10 mm (0.4 in.) of insulation
from the end of the speaker
cable and twist the bare wire
firmly.
2Loosen the speaker terminal.
3Insert the bare wire into the
gap on the side of the terminal.
When it is difficult to insert the wire into the gap on the
side, insert it into the gap downside of terminal.
4Tighten the terminal.
Connecting banana plugs
(Except U.K. and Europe models)
Tighten the knob, and then
insert the banana plug into the
end of the terminal.
1Connect the front speakers ( / ) to
the FRONT ( / ) terminals.
2Connect the center speaker ( ) to the
CENTER terminal.
3Connecting speakers
• (U.S.A. and Canada models only) The unit is configured to
8Ωspeakers as the factory setting. 6Ωspeakers can be also
connected.
• (Except for U.S.A. and Canada models) Use the speakers
with an impedance of at least 6Ω.
• Use a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier.
• Disconnect the power plug before connecting the speakers.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of the unit.
If this happens, it may damage the unit or the speakers. If the
speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear
on the front panel display when the unit is switched on.

The YPAO microphone (supplied) detects the status of speaker connections and the distance between the speakers and
the listening position, and adjusts the volume balance and the tone settings automatically (YPAO: Yamaha Parametric
room Acoustic Optimizer).
Preparation before using YPAO
5 Optimizing the speaker settings automatically (YPAO)
• The volume level is fixed to 0 dB while measuring.
• The test tone is output at a high volume while measuring. Be
careful that the test tone does not frighten any small children.
• The room must be quiet while measuring.
• Do not connect headphones to the unit.
• YPAO measurement does not work correctly if any obstacles are
in the room. Move everything out of the room or place it in the
corners while measuring. It takes approximately three minutes
to finish this measurement.
VOLUME HIGH CUT
CROSSOVER/
MIN MAXMIN MAX
• Turn on the subwoofer
and set its volume to
approximately half.
And, set the cross-
over frequency (if
available) to
maximum.
• When a subwoofer
with the automatic
standby function (turn
off automatically
during no signals
input) is used, disable
the function before
going to the next step.
Set the YPAO microphone at the height
of your ears. We recommend that you
use equipment that allows you to adjust
the height (such as a tripod) as a
microphone stand. If you are using a
tripod, use the tripod screws to fix the
microphone in place.
