We recommend that you first adjust the speaker balance with
test tones (page 15).
You can check the volume level in detail with the Status
indicator (page 18).
The adjustable range for the volume level of each speaker
channel is as follows.
Center: –4 (Min) to + 4 dB (Max)
Surround: –4 (Min) to +4 dB (Max)
Subwoofer: –8 (Min) to +8 dB (Max)
You cannot adjust the left and right surround speakers
individually with this procedure. To adjust them individually,
carry out the “Adjusting the speaker balance with test tones”
procedure (page 15).
This unit employs the Yamaha Air Surround system that
enables the surround sound field using six speaker units
built in two satellite speakers. To create better acoustic
field, please adjust the orientation of the virtual surround
speakers suited for your listening environment. You can
select from five presets for each satellite speaker (L and
R).
To create better acoustic field, you may need to change the
arrangement of the satellite speakers or furniture. For example,
the Air Surround system does not work well (or does not work at
all) in the following situations.
The satellite speakers are placed inside the rack.
The satellite speakers are not placed perpendicular to the side
walls.
There is an obstacle at the front (or diagonally in front) of
satellite speakers.
A piece of furniture is placed at the reflection points (A, B).
There are no reflection faces (walls or windows).

You cannot adjust the orientation of the virtual surround
speakers while the DVS function is activated. To adjust it, press

When headphones are connected to the SILENT CINEMA
jack on the unit, the adjustment is not available.

seconds in order.
2 Press L once to check the current orientation
of the virtual left surround speaker, or press
R once to check the current orientation of the
virtual right surround speaker.
The Status indicator blinks to show the current
orientation for about 2.5 seconds. By the factory
setting, “40°” is selected for each speaker.
