Yamaha YPAO R.S.C Calibration and Menus (Rx-A3060

[@drail34]

+1 to @Ben Tan By having your speakers set to large/full range you are seriously kiiling your listening experience...plus you'd have more output from your speakers by just allowing the sub to do what they are supposed to be doing in the 1st place. Set the speakers to small/80Hz and your subs for LFE/120Hz (default frequency so leave as is) and sit back & enjoy. Speaking of the subs...+ numbers after calibration is a no no! Turn up the gain on your subs so that you end up with something around -5 or -6 after calibration. That noy only leaves you wiggle room to adjust, but it prevents any clipping and it doesn't draw any unneccessary power that can be used for your speakers. Hope this helps. Happy listening!

[@Kpaceguy]

Darrell B I have them set to small now. But I don't have them crossed over at 80hz which I know is the standard. Plus at the time of the recording I don't have the same speakers as I do now. I have the crossover on the fronts set to 40 and the subs go from there because I like to turn up the subs to really hear and feel those sub 30 frequencies. The speakers I have now dig deep but there's nothing like sub bass from a sub! Thanks for the criticism!

[@drail34]

Not a problem. Just trying to pass on some of what I've learned as I know this shit can get pretty confusing. Lol

[@Kpaceguy]

Darrell B right haha thanks

[@kerrylittle3900]

I cant get mine to even start. I have the Yamaha R-N 803 receiver. Have also done a factory reset hoping that would fix the problem. It didn't. I get the error code E-124 and then says control knob. I have no idea how to make it work even though I followed every detail in setup. Any ideas what to try next?

[@Kpaceguy]

It may be too far gone for a normal hard reset to fix

[@kerrylittle3900]

@@Kpaceguy It’s not an old receiver and not abused. It used to work but now it doesn’t when I tried to calibrate new speakers I just bought.

[@Kpaceguy]

@@kerrylittle3900 have you reached out to Yamaha yet? They usually have really good customer service.

[@kerrylittle3900]

@ no I haven’t. Would that be in the form of an email or phoning. I’ve not had much success with any customer support in most things. But thanks for the suggestion

[@Kpaceguy]

@@kerrylittle3900 I called them with pretty good success in the past. And even found me a service center closest to me to help get it taken care of at the time.

My Sub Not Working At Pure Direct Mode ? Any way to make it work on pure direct mode ( Yamaha 3060 ) ?

[@Kpaceguy]

You have to turn it on in the settings. I don't remember where it is

[@patiorio1538]

Does your yahama receiver volume run different I just bought Yamaha RX 685bl I have to crank up to volume 12 to here it jut little bit .and mine only calibrated once I would think the more times it goes around better it will sound .

[@Kpaceguy]

It really differs from speaker to speaker and how efficient they are with the power they are given

[@patiorio1538]

@@Kpaceguy man I have Polk audio RTI A1 SERIERS I mean sounds nice I have them set on bi amp .My Denon I had AVR 1200 w hit harder louder .most likely I'm returning this receiver back and get the Denon .freaking sucks .thanks for the info

[@patiorio1538]

@@Kpaceguy so is there way I can improve that or some speakers don't work well with yahama??

[@Kpaceguy]

@@patiorio1538 You can just bust the trim level in the options menu, raise the level of all the channels the same amount of db or get external amplification

[@patiorio1538]

@@Kpaceguy yeah all the Db are all the way up .I think Polk's more suited for Denon Marantz Polk there all made in same factory.what speakers would you recommend Klipsch? I here lot people use Klipsch for yahama .

[@johnlira3316]

Was dynamic range set to maximum as default?

[@Kpaceguy]

Yes

[@Buzza235]

In the manual setup there is parametric EQ then you put the frequency in then there is a section called Q, I don't understand that, what the hell's all that about?

[@Kpaceguy]

Allows you to turn a certain range of frequencies up or down. It gets pretty technical and I wouldn't get into it unless you know what you're listening for

[@Buzza235]

@@Kpaceguy yeah that looked technical! I've only got the 2 channel's but I'm not sure when changing the dB to -/+ dB also, and then there's the max volume? Cheers for your reply I really appreciate that man.

[@Kpaceguy]

colin you don't want your levels to be higher than 0db. The max volume setting is where you can go in and set the limit of how high you can turn your receiver until it stops turning up. This allows you to protect your speakers from being too loud or not letting kids or someone blast the volume too loud

[@Buzza235]

@@Kpaceguy ok. Thanks so much bro.

[@Kpaceguy]

@@Buzza235 my pleasure

[@BenTan89]

Oh wow, you've got a lot of misconception in your video. 1) DON'T touch the impedance switch. You put that at 4ohms and you are effectively cutting your receiver's power nearly in half. 2) Sorry but your speakers aren't "Large", end of story - more so with the boundary gain that you get from the bedroom of yours. 3) Yes, do multi-position measurement with YPAO. 4) At least use a tripod if you can't get a boom arm + stand to hold the mic. The amount of subtle resonance and vibration your bed was causing translates into that flimsy cardboard stand. 5) Your levels for the sub is already in the clipping range. Pretty much EVERY Yamaha receiver in the last 6 years (Aventage or not) clips the pre-out on the sub when the levels are set above +0db. You want a negative feedback, not a positive. In fact you want a LOW negative number. So turn up gain on your subs instead.

[@SteveMe21685]

hey, so during the calibration it says to turn sub volume to 50% as well as the low pass filter...my question is are we then not supposed to adjust the volume or anything else after the calibration?

[@MidnightMagic]

@@SteveMe21685 i know its been a while but ill answer for future people also 50% gain ("volume") on the amp is just a starting point. If after the auto cal your sub level in the avr is too high you turn up the gain on your sub and re run the cal until you get a negative db level in the speaker levels in your avr menu. Once that is set, you never touch the sub gain again and only use the internal speaker level to adjust the sub spl level. That is only for one sub. if there were two subs you would need to do the following 1. Gain Match 2. Time Alignment 3. Auto EQ If performing a Manual EQ for your subs (single or multiple), such as a house curve, you Always set the house curve before running the AUTO EQ. (Double check your house curve after the Auto EQ) Hope this helps.

That piece isn't "a stand". It goes on top of the little boomerang thing to measure for height.

[@MyPrasad12345]

I have yamaha rx v683 and 7.2 speaker set up. Problem is YAPO shows only one subwoofer connected instead of 2 nos. I have connected 2 subs in actual. In your video i can see 2 subwoofers in GUI. Why it is so.

[@Kpaceguy]

prasad risbud I'm not sure. Go to configuration and make sure both Subwoofer 1 and 2 are on

[@alialzyoud]

I think that's because the high end A3060 can do independent dual subwoofer configuration. V683 deal with dual as one

[@Buzza235]

I have the same av. I used YAPO and it shows 0dB on my left Speaker and +2.5 dB on the right one. What's up with that?

[@allycat2336]

You do an awesome job keep it up☺️

[@audunjemtland8287]

How do you get that screen if the tv isn't hooked up to the receiver?

Audun Jemtland I use and HDMI from the receiver to the tv

[@audunjemtland8287]

Oh. Don't think I have that on my receiver. Where do you run your subwoofer, through the LFE? The sub is so boomy and unrefined.

[@Kpaceguy]

Audun Jemtland yes. LFE 1 and 2.
