Looking at the On Screen Info, looks like Analog Resolution is 480i to 480i. Can I change output to 720P or 1080i (All my 50" Panny can handle) or do I have to leave at 480i?? I have looked through every inch of the on screen controls to try to change.

Thanks for the help!

Any other ideas??

Hi all,

I just picked up a V667 (it's unwrapped and I'll get to set it up tonight) because it was the most-affordable HDMI 1.4 receiver I could find with analogue pre-outs. I have a 6.2 system running on active crossovers and therefore separate amps, hence the need for pre-outs.

The presence channels are new to me. However, it's not clear what amplifiers are being used to drive these two channels - if you peer through the top ventilation, you can see 14 MOSFETs in a row on the heatsink, as to be expected for 7 simple channels of discrete amplification. I don't see anything in the specs and/or user manual about what amplifiers are used for the EXTRA SP output terminals.

Since I have separate amps for all my other channels, it'd be nice to assign one of the better internal amplifiers to the presence speakers. Any idea if that is possible?

Your receiver puts out 5x75watts=375 watts. The 667 put out 7x90 watts=630 watts,that's why the difference in power consumption(need more to make more). The extra two pounds is probably a bigger transformer to handle the additional power. Both receivers,however,are rated with only 2 channels driven(a common practice to inflate power ratings). When you're using 5 or 7 channels, the actual power output is about half the 2 channel output. This is why I think pre-outs are a necessity, so you can add more power if needed.

BTW: Right now Amazon still has brand new 667s(not refurb or b stock) for$319 w/free ship,no tax. They won't last long.

Hello

i know this is simple since I ran into the same thing when setting the rec'r up when I got it. I just cannot find the answer. If memory is correct it's a simple "turn on in the right order" for everything to "handshake" correctly. All was fine with the Sony TV we had to replace from damage. The new set is a Panny 55GT30. Picture is right on with AT&T, Xbox and Blu-Ray. Just no sound from the set. TV speakers are enabled. No changes in the inputs on the rec'r. I've got it in "HDMI ARC 1" on the TV.

I have one HDMI from the rec'r to the TV and then the BR player, XB ox and AT7T going to the rec'r. Everything has been working with the broken set. Turn on the rec'r i get sound thru the system. Turn off the rec'r, TV would flash 'Black'..come back with a picture and sound came thru the set. All I've done is switch TV's and now no sound thru the TV speakers with the AT&T or Xbox but the picture is perfect.
