I didn't quite understand what does the remote shown in the pic do?
My understanding is you turn the freq knob on subwoofer all the way to right to LFE and set the vol (or gain) knob at around 12 o'clock if your sub is connected with a receiver and when running the speaker system calibration (YPAO, MultiEQ etc.). In such situation, what do you use the sub remote for?

that setup strategy is generally incorrect. set the sub to 75dB BEFORE running calibration. if the initial sub volume is too low or too high it may not calibrate properly due to poor S/N ratio.
the remote does the following things - power (can turn it on or off remotely - good feature for those people that don't use 12v trigger), select DSP mode (There are 4 of them), you can temporarily mute the sub and there are volume buttons to raise or lower the volume if needed for individual tracks / material that needs further tweaking.

that method makes a BIG assumption that you will get good S/N ratio using those settings. the way to check that is to set it at 75dB first. then you should have good S/N before you start the calibration.

how to set sub at 75db first? did you meant turn gain dial knob on back of sub to specific position or are you saying I set sub level in my receiver before starting calibration? My Yamaha receiver has sub level range -10 to +10 I think

your AVR will have a test signal generator built-in. Set the volume on the sub using the sub volume knob along with your dB meter before you run calibration. the +/- range of the unit is irrelevant at this point.

For sub it could be an iterative process as you start with certain position of gain dial and see if that produces 75db. If not, change gain and measure again, and so on till you get 75 db on the db meter. Hopefully, I understood correctly.
Do you recommend starting with 75db for subwoofer only or set each speaker (like front L & R, center, surrounds etc.) including subwoofer at 75db before running the calibration?

ideally you want to have the same 75dB level on all speakers (for the same S/N rationale). making adjustments on passive units is more difficult as you will need an amplifier that has individual level trim for each channel. not a feature found on AVRs or many low end external amps.

I get it. At least for the sub, I can try for 75 db before running the YPAO calibration. Thx for the info.

IMO the app is overrated unless you are constantly changing the sound profile, but most sub users "set it and forget it", so not worth much for most.
This one is in a whole different league as far as output and components used.
