General Setupīefore anything else, you should go into the Manual Setup section under Speaker Setup and set the amp assignment correctly, dependent on which speaker terminals you used for which speakers and whether you used external amplification. I will highlight Yamaha YPAO only advice here. Some of the advice below can be applied generally to all receivers. However, after fixing his setup, I realised many people do the same, so it’s time for showing you how to do Yamaha YPAO – and actually most other home cinema receiver – setup correctly. Then he complained to me that the system sounded like $h1t, pardon my French! Of course it did… I was shocked and horrified to learn that after spending almost AU$10K on his setup, he didn’t bother to go through the expert setup procedure, he simply placed the mic on the couch (a big no no), measured one microphone position and off he went. Good sound is dependent just as much on doing the setup correctly, than it is on buying great gear. I have been around to a friend recently who just bought the latest and greatest Avantage Receiver from Yamaha and AU$5000 worth of speakers but didn’t bother to read the manual in how to set up the receiver correctly. Regardless, the below article is still relevant and I sincerely hope it will help you on your way to Home Cinema Nirvana. If you have a Yamaha receiver, you need this guide! This is why I have written YPAO – The Lost Manual. While I have achieved that goal – and then some, I want you to be able to do the same. Since this guide was written many years ago, I have spent 100s of hours learning about and testing all the Room Correction solutions as a way to create my perfect dedicated Home Cinema.
