Setting up Yamaha HS 50M's???

So I've read the manual for my pair of Yamaha HS 50M's but need additional help setting them up. I have an acoustically untreated room and the room is approximately 9' by 6'. These are the options from top to bottom on the back of the monitors:

Mid EQ: +2dB, 0, -2dB
Room Control Switch: 0, -2dB, -4dB
High Trim Switch: +2dB, 0, -2dB
Low Cut: FLAT, 80Hz, 100 Hz

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No one can tell you the right info you need to know. Honestly it's mostly about taste and your room. Your going to have to play it by ear. Play a song you know has a great mix and use it as a reference while playing with the switchs in the back. My room Is treated and the switches in the back are flat but that's because I prefer a flat sound when I mix. I know some people that like the mids boosted because they have trouble in that area. You may have to use the room control cause there's to much bass in your mixes. Just listen, adjust by ear, do a mix and then play it back on other systems to see if there's anything you should adjust.
