Has been a few years since wading in and buying anything new. My H/K AVR525 died, so looking for a replacement. Not even sure where to start. Sony STRDN1040 or Yami RXV1075B are looking good to me, and these seem to get good reviews from what I have seen? Using NHT SB3s x4 and the matching...

HI Guys - I have the following speakers in my home theater setup with projector: Energy RC70 L/R, Energy 5.2c center, a pair of quest tower speakers for sides and a pair of pioneer towers for the back and recently just bought the SVS pb12 sub I currently have a Yamaha HTR6060 receiver and...

So I recently grabbed a 60" vt Panasonic plasma, however my Yamaha v661 cannot pass 3d over hdmi. In researching new receivers I've noticed that pre outs are far less common. Currently my Yamaha is paired with an emotiva xpa amp, driving a 5.1 system with RS-1000 rockets from the now defunct...

Well I picked up a full b&w fpm surround sound setup (5.0) and am building my own sub (Marty sub box with inuke 3000dsp) so next on the list is a receiver to finish the setup off! I am not looking to spend much, as my speakers/sub already tapped me out pretty well. My only requirements are...

I purchased a Denon avr-2313ci and found out that I can not watch tv and play music at the same time if an HDMI cable is used from the cable box to the receiver. For me to have this work, I need to have the cable box run into the receiver with an analog connection. This isn't a problem but kind...

Hi everyone ... Let me just say I've completely new to all this, so need some help ... I've got a new house with a home theater room in the basement, and I need to choose some speakers/subs for 7.1 or 7.2 speaker system that I'm going to have there .. I've heard there's some 'formula' I can...

 Hopefully someone will be able to tell me why this isn't working. When I connect my iPod to the USB port nothing comes out of the speakers. My understanding was I should be able to do this. Same holds true for the iPad. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've crossed the tipping point where I need to upgrade my AVR to support more and modern inputs. I've been out of the AVR shopping scene for so long, I find myself totally lost. A decade ago, the folks here were massively helpful in recommending devices that have served me well for a very long...

Bought the Yamaha HTR 7065 from Costco in January for around $400 or so. It's been ok, works fine but hasn't knocked my socks off. Costco say they'll still take it back. I'm considering doing this and upping my budget to @$1000. Any suggestions to look at? I was wondering about Marantz and...

I am putting my NHT tower setup in storage to preserve them. I have rear inwalls , so what would be a cheap descent 3ch passive sound bar to replace my front stage? Running adcom amps and a Yamaha htr7065 receiver. Thanks! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4

Found a great price on this receiver. The key is it has pre-outs. Very hard to find a network AVR that has pre-outs without spending a lot of money. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882115429

I am in the process of getting a basic home theater setup in our living room. The setup will be a basic 5.1 with all in-ceilings and a M&K Sub. I will be sending the source to a Pioner PDP-5020FD. The main video sources are the DirecTV Genie (HR-34) and Pioneer BDP-51FD. I also have a Toshiba...

I currently have an Onkyo HT-RC160 from a 3-year-old HTIB system. I also purchased a Denon AVR-1713, but I'm not terribly impressed with it (still within the 30-day return window). Budget is $500-ish (willing to go to $600 for the SC-1522-K because it's such a good deal... I think I can still...

Except no wireless. $389 and free shipping. One year warranty on refurbished units. This is virtually the same AVR as the V773 and the A820 in all specs with a few minor changes. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882115429

Hi I am looking to buy a new receiver. I want to buy it from Costco. My two options are 1. Yamaha HTR-7065 - $499.99 - This model is similar to Rx v773WA w/o wifi adapter though 2. Sony STRDN1030 - $399 Any recc'd with which one I should get. I am going to use it for movies and TV...

I have the above receiver and things were going fine for about a year. No changes have been made during that same time. Now the Bluray, which is plugged into the receiver in the HDMI input #1, flickers intermittently on the television screen. I also noticed that the HDMI Output display on the...

Hi, I have two AVR receivers, a Yamaha HTR-7065 and an RX-V671. Both receivers work well, except the HTR-7065 does not behave in the same ways when playing music over a network share. While playing music on the V671, when I power off the unit and return power, I can just hit the play button and...

I am thinking of buying four B&W 685 speakers and also an amp. I have seen the one at Costco and would like to know if it is powerful enough. I will probably run a second zone later on. I was advised to purchase an Integra 20.4 at the store where I plan to purchase the speakers. But I know...

Hi All, I just bought a new Yamaha HTR-7065. I have an apple TV, PS3, a PC and a Cisco Cable Set Top box in my setup. All else works great except the cable. I read the manual and set my AV2 option such that audio for it comes from AV6 (component audio). In other words, the R,G,B of the...

Hello guys, I purchased this unit from Costco a few weeks ago. I got polk audio floorstand speakers to go with the unit, a center polk audio speaker and a 12" subwoofer. Everything seems to be working properly, my only concern, when I try and play pandora through my iphone (connected on the...
