"Official" Yamaha RX-A1000/RX-A2000/RX-A3000 thread - Page 280

I was able to find a couple adapters and string together 3 HDMI cables to make it to my tv directly from my cable box and the picture looks fine doing it that way, bypassing the receiver.

Try unplugging the receiver from the wall for about ten minutes and see if it goes away.

I was just coming back here to say that after unplugging it for 5 minutes, it works again then saw your post. Thanks for the reply, I should have tried that first.

I had to do the same after installing 3.34.. The interesting thing tho was that Pandora and Win7 PC streaming worked fine before power cycling.. just not internet radio...perhaps they should add that to their update instructions.

Hey Guys,

So i currently have 2 devices hooked up to my A3000 via HDMI. In AV1 i have my PS3 and in AV2 i have my HD STB. I can not get the PS3 to display video on AV1. I switch the cable to AV2 and it works just fine. However, when the STB is plugged into AV1, i get no video as well. It can display the program guide and everything else but no actual motion picture is displayed on it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Will

You mean when you have your settop box connected to AV1, you can see the STB's program guide but not TV channels? Are you using the same HDMI cable to connect to AV1 and AV2?

Yes. I can see the program guide but every channel i select produces no sound or video. when i plug the hdmi cable to AV2, i can see all the channels with sound. Same goes for the PS3, when it is plugged into AV1 there is no picture or sound, when it is plugged into AV2, it works perfectly. I have tried switching HDMI cables as well.

Try Selecting audio input jacks from Page 65 of the manual as you might have accidentally selected Coax/Opt or Analog instead of HDMI or Auto.

OH OH. The problem I mentioned several weeks ago about my screen blacking out happened again tonight. I unplugged both TV and receiver and everything is OK again. I sent an e-mail to Yamaha describing the problem and will see what they say. I hope it's not an HDMI board going out.

Do you lose audio as well as video? And does it appear to be random? I was watching the BD of Lawrence of Arabia last week (highly recommend it, by the way) and my screen went blank about 30 mins. into the film. I fiddled with the receiver and the player and got the signal back, but I chalked it up to the long HDMI runs from my player (a PS3 in the next room) to the AVR and from the AVR (A1000, in my case) to the PJ. I believe I switched to another input and saw the Yamaha "wallpaper" but I can't swear to it. Would be curious to learn what Yamaha says about your issue.

Audio continues just fine. It seems to be cyclical, although I haven't timed it and since this has only happened twice in the year plus I've owned the receiver it would be hard to duplicate as it doesn't happen every time I turn on receiver.

Have not changed TV (still old Hitachi 55HDT51) since long before I added receiver.

Why would this become an issue after the receiver has been in service for over a year?

I'll wait for any replies before I initialize any settings.

If I backup the system settings will all be lost if I initialize all or can I recover them with recover?

Can I modify anything with Receiver Manager to fix this?

Response from Yamaha on flashing issue:
If if continues to do it, the unit will need service.

What followed was instructions on locating a service provider and packing the receiver.

I'll let you know if this recurs.

i get no audio at all when this happens. i called yamaha and they told me it will need to be serviced. all of the other hdmi's work just fine. i did a complete factory reset on the unit and that did not fix anything either. it's weird that when the STB is plugged in, the guide will show.

Can someone please help. I know its probably already been posted here but I cant get me internet radio to work. Its definately connected to the intenet and I can access it from my computer etc but I cant work out to get it to work with the mesage "not connected". Is there a simple way to trouble shoot this. The manual is useless with advice. I really appreciate any help. I love this amplifier:)

Is there any way to sync an iPhone 5 to the rx-a2000?

What do you want to sync exactly? There's no storage in the receiver for music or.. addresses?

Sorry I meant any way to play my music from the iPhone 5 to the rx-a2000.

Did you get an Ipod dock with your 2000?

with the app

Not that I'm aware of

I've streamed music from my iphone thru the receiver using the app.

What app are you referring to? The yamaha one?

yes

I'm not using an iphone anymore, but iirc there a round button with a music icon on the right hand side of the screen. if you tap that button the music stored on your phone appears.

I need a bit more info on what you mean "iirc"? I actually found 2 yamaha apps on my iphone 5 called NP controller and AV controller. The AV controller works perfectly to stream music through the wifi setup. I only had to put the IP address of the amplifier in and it found the RX A. I can turn amp off and on and play songs easily. Is this the sort of thing your trying to achieve?

iirc= if i remember correctly. i was actually telling gatti-man how i stream music from an iphone thru the receiver. and yes, its the av controller app that has that ability. what i did notice this morning is that the button is not round. its rectangular with rounded edges. i think i confused a few people, had them thinking i was asking questions instead of replying to an inquiry.

I hooked up a seperate Amp for the front speakers. The RXA-2000 before when powering my Goldenear Tritons & Aon3's got pretty warm and sounded good but the receiver definitly was straining. Since hooking up the seperate amp the receiver seems to kick into hyper mode. Yammy just powering the center and surrounds, and with the seperate amp controlling the fronts, WOW!! Metallica Blu-Ray in DTS-HD, Spectacular. New amp is a used Bryston4B ST 300 watts a channel. The Triton two's dont even flinch. Yammy runs a lot cooler now. Any one else out there running a seperate amp and having better results?

Ok, playing around with my subs today I came across two startling conclusions.

1. My ED Sub went from great, to EPIC after moving it to the center of the room where my couch is (worst place for sitting, and subwoofer). Somehow, it magically got chest poundingly intense. \

2. My Yamaha RX-A3000 drastically reduces the volume of the signal to the subwoofers when the "sub 2" port is activated. Usually I have my Aura transducers hooked up to "sub2". After experimentation, i noticed that even with NOTHING plugged into the subwoofer cable, even so much as activating the port, caused my subs hooked into "sub 1" to go from room shaking to so-so.

So thats what my problem has been and why i feel my volume in the reciever has to be turned way up on the subwoofer channel (e.g +5.0).

Any thoughts, similar experiences?

How did you turn off the second sub port?

I haven't used the internal amps of the RX-A2000 except for when I first got it to test everything out. I've been using my Emotiva UPA- 7 with all 7 channels and it does everything I've asked it to do with grace and authority.

I'm sure for most folks in a small to medium sized listening area, the internal amps will do just fine with 8 ohm rated speakers with normal to higher sensitivity specs, but ever since I experimented with a decent two channel, 100w amp more than 10 years ago with my receiver at the time, a Denon AVR-3803, I've preferred using external amplification whether I'm using a pre/pro (where it obviously is a requirement) or a solid AVR... -TD
