YPAO is room correction - applies custom EQ curve regardless of volume.View attachment 141627
What is the difference between YPAO On/Off and VOL (YPAO Volume) . I could not understand .
Is there a musiccast app for win laptop that folks can point me to for RN803?When you are in Rooms section on the top right you have wheel sign->then room Settings->then you have YPAO (speaker Setup)
Thank you for seeking the clarification from YamahaI’m wondering if the measurements taken for this review were done with YPAO enabled or disabled (non pure direct results) considering this reply from Yamaha, or if the replay is just incorrect.
reply pasted below.
edit:
I could be wrong and often I’m clearly wrong, but the drop in the frequency response of this amp when not in “pure direct” mode may be a limitation of the tone control circuit and not an indication of an ADC conversion?
It seems that all of the Yamaha amps with a loudness dial have a published FR of 10 Hz to 100 kHz in pure direct, or CD direct, and a published FR of 20hz to 20khz in non-pure direct mode. This includes analog only amps like the A-S700.

“Hello Jay,
Thank you for contacting Yamaha Customer Support, we have been impacted due to Covid stay at home orders, we apologize for the delay in response.
If the audio signal is analog going in then it remains analog until output from speakers, none of our units convert a analog signal to digital. There is only conversion from digital to analog.

Application/Technical Support
Model: R-N803
Hello Yamaha support.
I have a question about the R-N803 receiver.
When feeding the amp an analog source, and with pure direct NOT engaged (so as to access tone controls and old style loudness), and with YPAO disabled, does this receiver do an analog to digital conversion, and then a digital to analog conversion, or does the signal remain in the analog domain the entire time ?
Thank you,”

You can check some of this (I didn't try it):Is there a musiccast app for win laptop that folks can point me to for RN803?
Thanks
Thank you for seeking the clarification from Yamaha
So this reply from Yamaha concludes that with the following conditions
a) Pure Direct "not" engaged
b)YPOA "disabled"
sources connected to analog inputs do not go through analog to digital conversion.
a)Is there a way to disable/enable YPAO from the R-N803 front panel ?
b)Is my understanding correct .There are only two modes of operation for YPAO
i) YPAO enabled ie YPAO Volume shows up in display
ii)YPAO disabled
Thank You.

*1 With this new firmware, any Preset(s) that you’ve already registered will be deleted, therefore you will need to re-register any existing Preset(s). Some models with an integrated OSD (On-Screen Display) will no longer display “Now Playing” content on the OSD.
I couldn't find mention of the 3.00 update. Where did you see that?That’s the former firmware update 1.17 and not 3.00.
I couldn't find mention of the 3.00 update. Where did you see that?
I thought it odd that the version went to 3.00. I checked my other updated Yamaha and that only went from 2.85 to 2.86. I'd have thought a new range would be something significant???
