The "official" Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A710/810/1010/2010/3010 thread - Page 12

It helps to have a notebook and a pen. Write down all the settings you want to have for the scene and then use the various setup menus to select DSPs and so on. The notebook is because nothing appears on the OSD before you load the settings. When I first tried to program the BD/DVD Scene 1, it kept reverting to a pre-selected DSP of "Drama". Eventually I managed to switch the pre-set to "STRAIGHT" but I'm not sure I can recall the procedure from memory. I do know that it involved selecting the first scene but NOT moving "up" on the GUI. Instead, I selected "STRAIGHT" (nothing showed on the screen, either the display or the front panel of the A1000), went "up" on the GUI and selected LOAD (don't remember the exact sequence). After that (and a 30 min. long diatribe of expletives directed at the GUI), using Scene 1 to turn on the AVR works fine--it selects the proper input, the proper DSP setting (STRAIGHT) and saves a few steps. I've programmed a few other scenes since and they work fine once done. But man is it ever a painful setup.

OK..now I get it. You can't edit directly. You've got to select what you want, then "Save" it into the scene... Of course it seems impossible to select "pure direct", then save it, because by selecting pure direct, you automatically turn off the front GUI and TV GUI...

I would really love a pure direct button on the web browser (if there are any yamaha software engineers reading this forum)

Android and IOs5 Yamaha apps have it... It's under options below the sliders.

Cool. Just icing on the cake for me. My yammie is part of a music desktop workstation..everything is computer based/controlled..

I'm finding the web browser a bit lame compared to the ipad app...

I have to say though that this new RX1010 receiver is super quiet..even sitting up on my desk. Absolutely NO fan noise. Plenty of power... It really is an impressive piece of gear

I love my 3010 aside from one flaw with it, YPAO.. It just doesn't cut it for me. I really wish they could of adopted the audyssey system with the Aventage line. For the cost of the receivers in this line, there isn't a reason they couldn't.

Yeh. I agree. I tried it, then pretty much set everything to manual... use you own ears... they never lie

I really miss the old receivers with multi channel "manual set up" (on the fly)...where you could adjust each channel and speaker individually via separate buttons on the remote. This was really cool..standing in the middle of the room and setting the volumes manually that way...

Funny I sold an old 773 NAD 9 months ago with that function to a guy pining for this sort of control... Now I miss it!!

Still I guess "automatic" everything is all the rage these days...

There's still a dedicated LEVEL button on the remote (under the flap).

A good point, one I'd overlooked. Since it's considered a negative, I'd be surprised if the 3010 suffered while we po' 1010 folks dodged a bullet, but with different spec I suppose anything is possible.


Oh yes, as long as I'm not misinterpreting my results. In most ways this is the best amp for me.


Amazing how many people this is catching out! Yamaha may want to rethink it next time. Pressing Info on your remote or the receiver will cycle through until you see what you're looking for. Once set it stays put.

How to setup a scene..... Turn input knob to desired input (AV1 for eg), select DSP mode, press and hold Scene button until "saved" shows up on the RCVR display. Easy!

What "flap"..? I must have a different remote (RAV449). I have a 1010....

...But there are only 4 scene buttons. And only for DSP. Real "scenes" would allow different Audio inputs to match with the one video output. Or even no output at all...allowing choice of of "pure direct"(say with "radio")...

And they could all be easily edited within the GUI..

Thank you !

Thank you!
On screen volume displays that can't be disabled would drive me nuts also.

The 4 scenes on the front are for DSP and input. What you want to do you can, kinda. With radio you can choose a video source along with audio 1&2. I believe you hit option on the remote while in the input and then choose "background video" I think. Going by memory, not in front of a RCVR now.

The scenes are meant for quick access to input, DSP and will also turn on the RCVR if off to the input needed.

But the 4 scenes with their own buttons on the remote can be as fully programmed as any of the other 8 that are accessible via the OSD. It is not limited to selecting a DSP setting (though it can be just that if one wishes). I've modified the BD/DVD scene for more than just the DSP setting (though it was a royal pain to do so as the instruction manual is clear as mud on the topic).

Just ordered the RX-A810. I am joining the Yammy family

Welcome aboard.

Never noticed that before, but the 1010 is indeed missing the extra buttons that the 2010 and 3010 have. But you can still set levels manually from the menu or from a PC using the Receiver Manager program.

The only "Option" I can pull up in the radio input are Tone control, Adaptive DRC, Cinema DSP, Dialog Lift, Volume Trim, Enhancer..

No "background video"..

Then try going to the setup menu, input, choose radio, press up on the remote.

Recently received my 1010 and the sub out is nowhere near what my previous receiver did. I have turned everything up in the receiver and on the sub and still get nowhere near the sound I had.

With the previous receiver I set the sub to -15db I have put it up to +12, changed the YPAO results manually from -10db to 0db. (side note) YPAO set my sub to 160hz?? Reason I am thinking an issue with the sub out.

Is it possibly bad sub outputs from the receiver? I tired both sub-outs and a new Monoprice cable.

The only other thing it could be is the sub, but seems unlikely since I only replaced the receiver. Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Try using different volume settings on your sub (the actual sub gain switch) and re-run YPAO. That might solve the level discrepancy issue. As for the 160hz crossover, YPAO gave me that setting as well on my A1000 (was surprised by that), but I moved it to 80hz in the manual settings (this could, in theory, cause some loss of EQ efficacy, but looking into the individual EQ settings per speaker, I found that YPAO had applied EQ below 160 hz anyway--not sure what's going on, but it sounds fine to me at 80hz, so I leave it there).

I tried that and still nothing, I moved the YPAO manually to 100hz, and the sub volume from -15db to +12. Still stumped.

I may have to hook up the old AVR and see if it makes a difference to rule out the sub.

I just upgraded my fronts and added presence speakers. So I had to run the YPAO again.

I set my sub to 1/2 Volume, phase at 0 and the freq. at max and made sure the sub is on and not in auto. After running the YPAO I went into manual speaker mod and set all speakers to Small and the Bass Crossover to 80Hz. The YAPO set my sub's level to 0. which is what you want.

I have an A810 and I added Polk RTiA7's for my fronts. I thought I would need an Amp but so far I'm very pleased at how the 810 drives my 7.1 with presence. The presence's really add to the front. A much fuller sound!

@ gce

I am also planning to upgrade my fronts to RTi A7's. Did you find a good deal for yours? Do you might to share that info with me?

Got them thru Amazon. I think you could probably find a better price ($445 each cherry wood) but I trust Amazon and like the way they handle things.

Good info! I should be getting my new RX-810 on Thursday and I was curious about the YPAO vs the Audyssey. I am running a 5.1 with 2 pair of book shelves and I have a brand new Outlaw LFM-1 EX in the box waiting to be hooked up! It is good to hear that the 810 is running with plenty of power! I am going to add new fronts and rears later on and I will go to a 7.2! I do plan on an amp as well.

Ok. Thanks! I purchased my RX-A with Newegg and they gave me a gift card (special promotion). I'm planning to use it to buy these speakers, but problem is that Newegg doesn't have the RTi A7's in stock. Anyway, I am just looking around to see if there are better deals available in other places.

What are you using as center? I already have the CSi A6, and from what I read it seems like is a perfect match for the RTi A7's.

The CSi A6 is the perfect match...I don't have one yet. I have a CS10 that sounds OK. By putting in the front presence speakers, which goes above the TV you can lift the center channel sound to the middle of the screen with the A810. Sounds really good that way.
