Yamaha AV Receiver Setup Guide App

The app begins by prompting the user to select their specific AV receiver model from a list. This ensures that all subsequent instructions and diagrams are tailored to the user's device.

Visual Description: A screen displaying a list of Yamaha AV receiver models (e.g., RX-V377, RX-V477, RX-V577, RX-V677, RX-V777), with the selected model highlighted.

Once the model is selected, the app displays a home menu. From here, users can start the connection guide or access the owner's manual.

Visual Description: A screen showing the selected model (e.g., RX-V677) and options like "Connections guide" and "Owner's manual".

Based on the user's room configuration, the app presents all available speaker layout options. Users can specify whether a subwoofer is used and the number of speakers in the main system (e.g., 5.1, 7.1).

Visual Description: A screen with options for "Using subwoofer(s)?" and "Number of speakers used with main system?". Below, various speaker layout diagrams (e.g., Basic, Front Presence) are shown for selection.

Users select all connecting devices from a comprehensive list, including audio & video devices (e.g., Blu-ray Player, Set Top Box, Game console, AV source device 1, AV source device 2) and audio-only devices (e.g., CD Player). The app prompts users to check input/output terminals on these devices.

Visual Description: A screen listing categories like "Audio & video devices" and "Audio only devices" with checkboxes next to common devices.

Following source device selection, the app displays all necessary interconnection cables required for the setup.

Visual Description: A screen showing visual representations of selected devices (TV/Projector, Blu-ray Disc Player, Set Top Box, CD Player) and the corresponding cables needed for connection.

Based on the input/output selections, the app illustrates precisely which input/output terminals on the AV receiver these devices should be connected to.

Visual Description: A detailed diagram of the AV receiver's rear panel, highlighting specific input/output ports where selected devices (e.g., Set Top Box) should be connected.

The app provides clear instructions on connecting speakers to the appropriate terminals on the AV receiver, based on the previously selected speaker layout.

Visual Description: A diagram of the AV receiver's speaker terminals, showing where each speaker (e.g., Front, Center, Surround) should be connected.

For network-capable models, the app can automatically copy configured settings (e.g., Power Amp Assign, Surround speaker layout, HOME Control, TV Audio Input, ARC, Network Standby, Input assignment for SCENE) to the AV receiver, simplifying the setup process. This feature is only supported by network-capable models.

Visual Description: A screen displaying a list of settings that are applied automatically, such as "Power Amp Assign," "Surround speaker layout," and "Network Standby."

The app guides users through the YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) setup, which automatically optimizes speaker settings to suit the room's acoustics. It also verifies correct speaker connections. Note: Certain models may skip this step.

Visual Description: A screen similar to the "Automatic Setup via Network" screen, showing settings related to YPAO optimization.
