How do you like them? How fast is the new high speed HDMI switching?

You will have to switch over manually.

hi guys am new to this forum and also new to a rxv475.
i tried and ran YPAO, but the results were not good. i cud not get dialogues in hearing volume. its too low.
can anybody help me with manually configuring the speakers? thank u in advance
I wouldnot tweak the distance settings. YPAO is usually very good at that. Keep in mind it is not setting the literal physical distances. It is measuring the time that it takes for the mic to receive the sound. And it accounts for reflections among other things.Quote:

@bond: ok here are some other questions:
- when i run YPAO....i usually have to tweak distances a little...for various speakers (yamaha makes a mistakes of around 10 cm...and with the sub of around 50cm....) anyway....after changing the distances....do i also have to change the levels of the speakers ? i guess it would be logical no ???
- question about 5.1 now: bond this is weird....with my yamaha soundbar, my old pioneer 5.1 and now with this yamaha 475....every time i play a DTS movie...sound is MUCH weaker than DD 5.1 ! i watched dozens of movies and all have this "problem"; i have to push up the volume "a lot"....to get it to hear normally ?????
IS this a "thing" with DTS audio ?? as all my gear reports the same findings ??
thanx

Hi All,
I am new to this HT and AV receivers thingy. I just got a Yamaha RX-V575 with only two floor standing full range 6-ohm Wharfedale Diamond 10.7. 500$ for the receiver and another 500$ for the speakers. I bought them totally out of the technical specs to be best value within my budget. I connected the speakers using bi-amp connection to give good power. Those speakers has 3 drivers: 2 bass, middle and a tweeter. I am planning to add more speakers later on but definitely I will not buy a woofer as those speakers deliver too much bass (yes, too much).
I hear the sound coming out of the system and I believe something is wrong. Bass is too strong, deep and not too loud (I know that this is a good thing), I play the croods Blu-ray and sound is really booming at -30DB it shake windows quietly and it really feels like u r at theater.
When I play music, sound of the pianos, flutes and violins is too low and quite muddy. Bass is dominating the scene and I do not enjoy the music. I do not seem to be able to lower the bass, or make middle range or even high range clearer. I want to listen to music and cannot get it really crisp as I wish. Different instruments do not come out clear out of this setup.
Do I need to add more speakers? Center one for example. Should I check the connection cables to my speakers or did I just buy the wrong combination? any tips to tune the receiver?
Any clue?
Have you run YPAO?Quote:

You can change the speaker volumes if you like.
I have no idea why DTS sounds quieter than Dolby Digital. That is not my experience.
Well, I just run the 2-chnl decoding thing from the AVR. I do not care about the surround effects at this stage.Quote:

a bluray is 5.1...and you use just 2 speakers...is that normal to you?!
Yes I did run it. It did not change a bit.Quote:

thanks nenito
but i tried that too and am not comfortable with the sound. for example dialogues are very low and for that i have to push up the volume to say abt 5.0 dbs. then i tried increasing center channel volume alone. its ok after tat. but the thing is ....is there any arbitrary values that u guys with 475 use?
secondly i have connected receiver to my d-link (mod+router) thro ethernet cable and all my android smart phone, Laptop & desktop connected thro wifi.
receiver has a ip address and net radio, update worked.
problem is icud not get it in my laptop r desktop r phone.
wen i type the receivers ip address the browser simply says cannot find....... am i missing something?
This is a tech forum. If you want help be specific. "2-chnl decoding thing" doesnt help much. Are you using 2 channel stereo for music? Have you tried the Pure Direct mode? What is your source?Quote:

There are no arbitrary values. If you have to bump up the Dialogue Level for movies that is OK. That us fairly common with home theater in a box systems like what you have. Use the "Dialogue Adjust" feature.Quote:

Well, yes I am using 2 channel stereo. I even assume if you select 7.1 or whatever it will just put everything to 2 speakers and will not waste any track (I believe that is a logical assumption), the AVR realize that I have only 2 speakers set to Large. I have tried the pure direct, and it is better with Blu-rays, actually all movies sound good or great. Still music is not good and muddy. My source for music is 10 years old Audio CDs or USB MP3 and FLAC. I compared playing same song on FLAC and MP3 and it is not any better.Quote:

Bi amping with an AVR is a waste of time and will make no difference. When you ran YPAO what Power Amp Assign setting did you use? Did you make sure that you chose "Yes" under "Bi-Amp"?
Are you using quality speaker wire?
After you ran YPAO what were the results?
Have you read the Owners Manual?
Thanks Bond. I know it should be a great combo. I did not know that speakers take time to break in like a new car engineQuote:

If music in Pure Direct mode sounds muddy with all quality sources then either those speakers dont suit you or the AVR doesnt.
There is nothing wrong with your connections. Using bare wire is fine. The AVR would tell you if the wires were backwards.
You have been misled. Biamping with your AVR does not produce any more power. But it shouldnt adversely affect sound quality either. Its just a waste of time and speaker wire. You can try to wire them normally to see if it helps. Also those are new speakers and may need some break in.
Honestly I think you either have a problem with your settings or your expectations. You have an excellent speaker/AVR combo so it should sound great. Especially with 2 channel music in Pure Direct mode there is little in the way of variables to consider.
Keep experimenting.
Thanks Bond. I believe that the Wharfedale 10.7 is actually amazing delivering this deep strong bass at very low volume while conversations or vocals are still very clear. I really appreciate the speakers. RX-V575 has been rated as top ten AVRs in 2013. That should be a good deal and great combo like you say.Quote:

You should have no problems running 16ga at that short of a distance. You could try some high quality 12 ga but its unlikely to make any difference. When I say high quality I just mean 99.9% pure copper speaker wire. That may even be what you have. I dont know. Expensive cables and wires are just a waste of money. I would suggest, again, that you wire them normally just to see. Bi wiring them only adds unnecessary complication to the system.
Adding a center may give you an overall boost in mids and highs but that wont fix the real problem. Those Wharfdales should sound excellent.

I just did a reset to YPAO levels so now both speakers produce same output levels, played with the EQ a bit. I am not sure if EQ is still in effect in direct mode. Now in direct mode, Korsakov Symphony No. 35 sounds much more crisp, I am still looking for some optimum clarity. You were right, I have extensive high expectations for every note. My ear appreciate crisp mid/high ranges over bass ones. That is just me I think.
I will go for better cables (I know that this could be worthless) after a week to give sometime for the speakers to break-in (whatever that physically means) then I will put a center speaker. Let me see if that make things any better.
Another question that just popped into my head regarding Bi-amping, I have read that Bi-amping will deliver more power at its best and I find that quite logical if the amp does not provide different signals (like high and low freq.) for the speaker connections. However I am now thinking if Bi-amping should actually enhance the THD output. When you Bi-amp, it is like you are operating 4 speakers and not just 2 of them. According to the specs: 1 speaker->0.9% THD, 2 speakers->0.09%THD, 4 speakers-->???? (should that be lower?).
Many thanks for the eye opening information
thanks bond, where can i find that dialogue adjust feature?Quote:
