Hi,   I currently live in Texas and I have a Sharp TV that is capable of handling both NTSC and PAL signals. I am planning to buy a 7.2 AVR (HK or Yamaha). In near future I might have to relocate to EU or Asia where the standard signal for TV's is PAL.    I believe that the AVRs do not...

The trend seems to be that most new receivers have none or only a single S-Video port. I have many classic game consoles that only support S-Video as their highest form of output. For my den I picked up an Yamaha RX-V3900 two years back that works great with tons of S-Video ports that it passes...

I'm only a few days into ownership with the RX-A3020. Before I get to the thread topic, a few quick impressions early on. YPAO setup made everything too bright - thank goodness for individual speaker tweaking with db levels and a few EQ parameters. Very happy with the sound. Volume wise, when...

I used to think I was good at this stuff - just take the 3020 out of the box, hook everything up, and go. But I've read the manual and not sure if how I think I should hook things up will work. I have the Sony 40XBR800, the last of the tube behemoth TV's. It only accepts DVI (no HDMI). I have...

Tomorrow my RX-A3020 arrives. I've already downloaded the owners manual and have begun to read what this baby can do. I also realize that any electronics, whether it be a computer or an a/v receiver, there will be setup issues, usage inquiries, and those dreaded problems of things not working...

I am looking at new receivers. When looking at the Yamaha Aventage line, I see that the xx30 line this year changed the DAC from Burr-Brown (24-bit) to ESS Sabre (32-bit). I realize ESS gets good reviews, and is newer than Burr-Brown. Forgetting all of the official testing with engineering...

 ~~I currently have a Yamaha RX-V2065 and just upgraded my Yamaha RX-V1065 to a Yamaha RX-A3020. The RX-V2065 has been working flawlessly for many years now with the “Network Server”. I have a WD My Cloud NAS with a massive amount of mp3 files loaded on my home network. This has been working...

Hello everyone!! My first post on the forum here. I am a proud new owner of Yamaha's RX-A3030, the first receiver I've purchased new, and while I am sure there are plenty of features I am not taking advantage of/using, I have one question to start off with! Is it possible to have audio from...

 Hey everybody, I currently have the Yamaha Aventage RX-A2030 receiver powering Polk Audio RTI-A7's towers as fronts, A3's bookshelves as rear surrounds, and the Csi-A6 center channel speaker. The RTI-A9 towers just went on sale for a hot boxing week price so I pulled the trigger on them with...

I have the Yamaha 3020 for almost 1 year now. It has a 2 wire plug on the back with no ground. I noticed buzzing or humming from the speakers recently when watching a program. It increases with volume and I can start to hear it from all speakers once the sound setting reaches -20dB. It is much...

Hi everyone: I am new to the forum. I just hooked up a Yamaha Aventage 3030 and have a set up that does not conform to the examples provided in their manual; I am not sure if I am configuring all the set-ups correctly as I am experiencing low volume output to the remote zones. Here is the...

I'm looking to upgrade my Onkno HC-RC470 to an amp that can use seperate amps at a latter date. I have wired my HT room that I'm building for 11.4, if that helps at all.

 Hi all, i have read through a bit of the forum but still need to ask quite a stupid question...   i just got a new rx-a3020, plugged in same speakers and same sub (it is an older yamaha sub) as my old rxv720 and i dont get any sound from the sub.   there are two sub inputs at back but i...

Its time to retire my trusty Marantz sr6001 but can't make a decision. I am asking the experts here if you own or had experience with each to give me some advice. I am also considering the Marantz sr7007 as they are going for a great price now. Thanks in advanced! Sent from my...

This is not for me. A friend asked for suggestions and I am unfamiliar with receivers in this price range. Please post suggestions on receivers in the $1000 to $2500 price range. I picked a few options via amazon.. What's is the disadvantage of this "old version" of the onkyo? Onkyo...

I need to pick up a new receiver to replace my Yamaha RX-Z7 and I'm looking at the Pioneer Elite SC-75, Denon X4000, and Marantz SR6008 and trying to decide which one handles 4K the best along with having a nice looking GUI? At this time I've ruled out Integra and Onkyo due to their HDMI board...

Hi guys. Through some unfortunate events, it looks like Im going to have to replace my receiver. I wanted to post the question here as my knowledge is fairly limited. First, what Ive got: replacing a Pioneer VSX52 Elite receiver, Emotiva 2 channel amp for the front mains (cant remember model...

I am starting to set up the wiring at the new house. I am trying to get the same source that is outputting to HDMI 1(Directv HD DVR) to output to zone 2. I set the remote to zone 2 and set the input to the same but I cannot seem to get anything to display on Zone 2. Help needed

AVS, I'm going with Audyssey Neo:X for 11 channel surround and need advice on what to purchase. I've listed a few ways to go about it since there are no 11 channel integrated AVRs yet. 1) Denon/Onkyo 4520/3010 + extra 2 channel XPA-200 2) Denon 4311 + extra 2 channel XPA-200 3) Denon 4311...

How to Utilize a Power Amp in a 7.1 Config?? Hi everyone, I am new to the AVS Forums, and high-end audio in general. I have been reading lots of great info on this site- truly a wealth of knowledge and information available here. But as with many things, the more I read it seems the less I...
