Yamaha YPAO Mic Replacement
I bought a used 663 and I'm now in need of the YPAO mic. I've got everything calibrated distance/frequency and all that other stuff but I figure running the YPAO setup will probably yield better results. ??? Maybe? Anyways, I haven't been able to find one for under $50 which seems a little steep for something that tiny and that i'll only use once or twice. Basically what I'm trying to ask is, does it really help to use the YPAO setup and then adjust what may be off? Does it give a better sound quality than just playing it by ear and adjusting the normal settings in the AVR?
I think I might just go to BB and buy a Yammy AVR and use the mic and then take the thing back.

The mics are calibrated for each model, not interchangeable. Whether you buy one is up to you. Is the prospect of a 7-ch parametric EQ for each speaker worth-while? Unless your speakers are all identical and in identical placements, the benefits could be considerable, but that's ultimately in the ear of the listener.
Some day all those missing mics will turn up.

According to this page the same part number was supplied for both your units. I disagree with the previous commenter, and not every model has its own unique mic, although there are a few different models out there of the mic. Don't know why yours would be slightly different other than changes in manufacturing process.
Now that's settled, wanna sell me one of your cheap?

. Didn't ask specifics on whether or not the mics are differ between models (figure regular support wouldn't really be informed with info like that). Hopefully this is what you needed as well.
In the link I previously included, it lists both the RX-V465 (&RX-V465BL) and, two more items down, the RX-V471. So the same part should work for both.
I suspect any difference is just a change in manufacturing.
Have you tried them both? I'd think you shan't be able to tell the difference between the two results.
(Now that I've cleared this up for for, feel free to gift me your extra unit.

ousooner2, did you ever get your hands on that YPAO mic? I am in the same boat with my. Yamaha RX-V471 receiver.I bought a used 663 and I'm now in need of the YPAO mic. I've got everything calibrated distance/frequency and all that other stuff but I figure running the YPAO setup will probably yield better results. ??? Maybe?
