2. Turn on the subwoofer and set the volume to half.
3. Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position and connect it to the YPAO MIC jack on the front panel. The screen above appears on the TV.

Place the YPAO microphone at your listening position (same height as your ears). We recommend using a tripod as a microphone stand. You can use the tripod mount to stabilize the microphone.

Keep the room as quiet as possible. Stay in a corner of the room behind the listening position so that you do not become an obstacle between speakers and the YPAO microphone.
