**Offical** Yamaha RX-V665 AV Receiver thread - Page 42

Set the fronts to large and run the YPAO or set the crossover yourself for the rest of the speakers.

Thanks for the crossover help everyone; I ordered one today.

I've getting problems and I'm not sure if it's the receiver or my Samsung PNB450.

I was watching Band of Brothers when my part of my screen starts flickering static. Only part of the screen and never the full screen. This had happened before when I was using my PS3 to play M.A.G.
If anyone know what the problem please help me. If it's an issue with the TV I still have warranty left so I would like to solve this soon. This doesn't happen all the time but its twice now and I'm a little concern about it now.

I'd say you have a problem with the display. Try posting this in the dedicated thread for your display.

Newbie here. This is my first receiver and am not sure what is the best option for getting the optimum sound is. I got the monitor 40s which I plan to move to the back once I get the 50s. I have CS2 as the center. Anyone knows what is a good sub to be paired with this setup? Also my DVR doesn't have hdmi so I am using component connection. If I get a blu ray player can I connect only hdmi to the tv? Any other tip that maybe a nobrainer but I can use? Thanks guys!

What's your price range for a subwoofer?


If you want to take advantage of the best HD audio, connect the Blu ray player to the receiver with HDMI and then the receiver to TV with HDMI.

Hi, First post. I've tried to search this tread, but haven't found an answer. Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question but here goes:

I'm having trouble programming the RX-V665 Remote(RAV290) to operate the TV with the buttons at the bottom of the remote. I've successfully programmed the dvd player and I'm pretty confident in programming the HDMI, AV, and Audio inputs. The codes are lsited in the back of the book, but I haven't found anything stating how to make the remote operate the TV functions.

I haven't tried programming the TV to one of the HDMI AV or Audio inputs. This didn't sound like the right thing to do since TV is conneced to the HDMI output not an input. I didn't want to set the codes then have to erase all the codes if it didn't work right.

Also, anyone had any luck controlling a PS3 or Xbox360 video playback with the Yamaha Remote? I think PS3 is Bluetooth controll, not sure about the Xbox360. It'd be nice to stop using the PS3 & Xbox360 controllers for Blu-Ray Playback.

Thanks

I've found a rather odd problem with the Yamaha RX-V665 and I'd like to know if anyone else sees it, too.

If I switch to A(udio)1 or A2, or AV5 or AV6 when there's no video signal (input device off), and then switch to HDMI4, which does have an active video input, the TV gets a signal, but shows a blank screen.

Also, if I switch from HDMI4 to A1 or A2, or AV5 or AV6 when there's no video signal, the TV still has signal, but shows a blank screen--or sometimes it shows HDMI4's input while on A1/A2/AV5/AV6, which is even weirder. And it goes blank again when I switch back to HDMI4.

If AV5 or AV6 have an active video input, it switches to and from HDMI4 just fine. Or if I press the Setup or Option buttons twice (to pull up an OSD and exit), I get the expected output.

If I try the same steps with HDMI1-3, it works as expected--going to A1/A2/AV5/AV6 w/no video signal, the TV shows no signal at all; switch to HDMI1-3 from A1/A2/AV5/AV6, signal and picture from HDMI1-3 come up. It's only HDMI4 misbehaving.

HDMI Control, HDMI Resolution, HDMI Standby, and Mon. Check settings don't seem to make any difference.

My setup is:

AV1: DVD player, components & optical

AV4/HDMI4: DVR (MythTV) with DVI video and optical audio output. I have a DVI-HDMI cable connecting it to HDMI4, a fiber to AV4, and I set the Video Out for AV4 to HDMI4--exactly the sort of set-up it's intended for. When using Video Out->HDMI4, AV4 behaves just the same as HDMI4 alone.

AV5: LD player, composite & stereo

AV6: iPod dock (non-Yamaha), composite & stereo

I have a Samsung LN46B750 display connected with an HDMI cable to the receiver.

I've tried two different units now, one with firmware L034 and one with K032.

Anyone else see something like this?

True, from the Yamaha guy,

in case ya need to know.

I'm late to the party, as usual, but I pulled the trigger on an RX-V665. Woohoo! I've wanted one since it came out. I'm replacing an RX-V450.

My plan is to add an Emotiva XPA-5 by late summer. It should make for a nice budget system.

Hey Guys,

I'm an absolute dud when it comes to this stuff, and couldn't seem to get my answer from the manual.

I have a Yammy 765 and want to get zone2 functions working. Can it work in the following way?...

I have an L shaped basement - and in the large lenth of the L is a pool table with two wall mounted speakers. In the small part of the L is my home theater set with 7.1 speakers. (all 9 are PSB's)

So essentially I want to know if it's possible to have TV playing in one room in either 5.1 or 7.1 (TV is HDMI 1) and have music playing via my ipod hooked up through AUX 1 on the two speakers in the pool room?

Is that how zone 2 can be used, or am I totally out to lunch?

Thanks.

Zone 2 can play any input.

If Zone 2 is set to the same input as Zone 1, it has to play the same material.
(meaning you cant listen to 2 different FM stations if they both are set to FM tuner).

The only bad point about Zone 2, is you cant tell what station you are switching to via the front display. At least not with XM on the 665...

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, I am getting frustrated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have read all the similar threads but had no success. I have a Yamaha RX-V663 receiver, and a Klipsch SW-450 10" sub. I took down my theater because we moved, and now when I set it up, I have just a little bass when turned all the way up. Before I would have it half way up and it would shake the whole house.

I know this is simple to someone out there, I have spent hours trying to figure it out but cant and my kids are having friends over tonight, so I was hoping that they could enjoy the audio when they watch Star Trek.

Thank you in advance

Have you run YPAO? Be sure when you do that the sub is already on, not in "standby".

I don't even know what that is. I am awful at all of this. I am learning on the go, sorry.

No net radio on my unit, so that isn't a concern.

So I was right, I can play my TV 7.1 in one room and my ipod on the two speakers in zone 2 at the same time...

Sweet.

Only 5.1 when using zone 2, because it's a 7 channel amp. You'd need an additional stereo amplifier to have 9 channels at the same time.

I just ran that, still very little bass.

Have you verified that the sub is working? Go into the 665 manual setup and see what the sub level is set for and verify that it's set to receive LF/LFE.

Hi Guys, I just would like to ask does the RX-V665 show DTS MASTER AUDIO and TRUE HD on the front panel of the reciever.Mine shows just DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL only-I have a panny bd35.The bd35 is set to Bitstream and running via hdmi and when playing a dts master audio bluray its shows this when I push the audio button on the remote on the bd35.I have the latest firmware for the RX-V665 and 1.6 for the bd35 which is one down from the latest here in australia--having trouble updating to the latest--these both are australian models.Much appreciated if anyone will let me know.

If it's receiving DTHD or DTS-MA it will indicate that on the front display, as long as you have selected that display with the "info" button. But whatever it displays is what it is receiving.

If you have Secondary Audio turned on in the player it will be outputting lossy audio.

thanks rdgrimes--secondary audio is off on the bd35 and all selected bitstream over hdmi--just shows dolby digital or dts only--checked the bd35 audio and was selected dtsma --cant understand why the yamaha is not displaying it--could it be the hdmi cable --scratching head here

All I can tell you is that the 665 doesn't lie, it's telling you what it's receiving.

Make sure the disc track is also set to HD audio. Some Blu-rays are not always set to TrueHD or DTS-MA as default.

No biggie. I'd never be watching a movie with music on, just sports, and 5.1 is fine for that.

Thanks for the help guys.

hi JChin --have dozens of blurays now--I always check that I am playing \\select -the hidef tracks--the bd35 audio button tells you which is being output---I know the yamaha is out putting dts ma and truehd by the quality--have high end rotel amp and professional speakers--I used to run 5.1 analogue for my hddvd player and the sound now is better---think the hi def flags are not being picked up by the yamaha--could be a problem in the yamaha just not being displayed but definitely a problem---wish i had another bluray player to just eliminate the player
bd35 shows its outputting hi def codecs
yamaha is out putting hi def sound just not showing on its screen
95% certain its the yamaha just not displaying on its screen
been trying everything i could think of over last few weeks

I've never heard of a single case where a Yamaha receiver didn't indicate an HD codec if that's what the player was sending. It's much more likely to be a player issue.

Thankyou if I could try another bluray player that would prove the point--might have to consider getting another player to check
thanks again

YPAO is Yamaha Professional Acoustic Optimizer. Essentially it's an automatic calibration for your room.

I created this animation for Yamaha a long time ago (when I used to work for Yamaha):

+1. The 665 is displaying EXACTLY what it is receiving.
