The Official Yamaha RX-V1700/RX-V2700 Thread - Page 175

Thats a good price
Seen some here in Canada trying to get 700 but for the most part it ain't gonna happen

Thanks. I'll do $375. and you pay for shipping to Canada, and it's yours.

Let's see if I do this right..
Just stumbled unto this forum.
I have an RXV2700 that has never been set up correctly.
I don't have time and I also do not understand all the jargon.
Is their a PC setup utility available that will making setting up less painful and allow me to get the best out of this unit?
I'm also led to believe that the firmware/software can/should be upgraded.
How do I check the version and how do I upgrade if necessary?
Lots of questions with answers possibly in the 175 pages of this thread.
Help, please?

It has a built in-auto setup (YPAO). See page 35 of the 2700 manual (which you can download from any Yamaha web site if you don't have it). You need the microphone that came with the the 2700, otherwise you have to set it up manually. There's nothing for a PC that can help with the setup.

YPAO is not foolproof, so you need to check a few things after running it. In some cases the correct settings are going to depend on what speakers you have. e.g. in most cases all speakers should be set as small if you have a subwoofer, but they might get set as large by YPAO.

Not sure about the latest firmware version.

I own a 2700..... are you using it for surround sound? 2 channel?.... That model is over 5 years old. While still a keeper, there is no easy way to set it up....TEll us more about your intentions.....

Hi All, this is my first post.

I have a rx-v1700 that has suffered some water damage on the DSP circuit board and now the front right channel is not working.

The repair costs are too expensive at the moment so I was wondering if anyone has a broken reciever (with a different fault) that they would like to sell so I can strip it for parts? I know its a long shot but I thought its worth a try

I live in newcastle australia

Thanks

Hi there. I have a rx-v2700 receiver and the zone 2&3 function has stopped working. I have tried a system reset to no avail. I tried to use the link on this forum to a firmware update, but the link is no longer valid. Does anyone have the latest firmware for this receiver that they could share? Failing that, is anyone aware of what would cause the zones to stop working? Thanks

Here is Yamaha's tech support # 714-522-9105.....MON-FRI 8-4pm. OR 866-866-4616, OR 800-292-2982

Here is the Yamaha website for the firmware update I used sometime back:

WWW.YECSUPPORT@YAMAHA.COM.

i USED VERSION : KO(ZERO)52/I(EYE)O(ZERO)44/3.O(ZERO)R,

BUT RUMOR HAS IT THAT A FORMER ISSUE WAS ALSO AVAILABLE: K052/L047/4.2r


THERE MAY BE LATER VERSIONS....BEFORE I DO ANYTHING TRIPLE CHECK WITH YAMAHA !!!!!!!!. OR YOU'LL WIPE OUT YOUR MEMORY.......!!!

'FURTHER QUESTIONS... i COULD SCAN THE DATA i HAVE AND EMAIL IT TO YOU....

G;)OOD LUCK!

Thank you for the reply. I scoured that site and the US site but there was no firmware update. I am in New Zealand, so I will try the NZ distributor first and then call the States if I have no luck

I sold my RX-V2700, but here are the latest firmware instructions and I have attached what I think is the last update (44). I never did update my unit, as it wipes out some of the settings and from what I read, it only fixed a few minor things. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK!!! That said, I did obtain these instructions and the firmware file directly from Yamaha's website about 1 year ago.

RX-V2700 FW UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS for 0044 FW version:
