The "official" Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A710/810/1010/2010/3010 thread - Page 2

I'd love to use the 700 as a pre amp, but how do I set it up so it tells me what mode it is playing in?? I like seeing the amp move from one mode to the other, it assures me it is working correctly. Am I nuts here??

I have my receiver's default volume set to -50 when it turns on just so I don't wake the kids if I want to watch the news before they wake up but even then sometimes I have to turn the volume down to -55 depending on the channel. That's a pretty wide gap but I hope that gives you some idea as to how much the source material/signal effects volume level. Also I am using klipsch bookshelf speakers with 5-1/4" woofers on the mains and 4-1/2" woofers on the surrounds all about ten feet away from the calibrated spot. You might also play with your dynamic range settings. I find that standard is much quieter than maximum or minimum/auto for some reason.

Asked almost weekly. the db display on different AVRs is relative, it's not a real measurement of levels. -20 is a very normal listening level for the recent lines of Yammie AVRs. YPAO sets your level so that "0db" is near to "reference" levels. And, this model goes to +16db, where others stop at "0".

How does it fare as far as operating temperatures goes? This is a class AB unit, right? Does the unit have active fans?

See my thread here for the short list: Help me move out of the stone age
