Hello all, I will be ordering Klipsch RF-62 II Theater System that comes with a Klipsch SW-310 sub woofer on March 12 from Sound Distributors.  This will be my first home theater set up and will be using a Yamaha RX - V773 AV receiver to drive them and need some suggestions as to the correct...

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...

 I am trying to understand the interaction between the bass crossover setting on the Yamaha 773 and the other settings for extra bass and speakers set to large vs. small.   My goal is to get more upper low and mid bass "richness and fullness" from my set up. To accomplish this I think I want...

Does the Yamaha RX-V773 have an optical output? I'm thinking of buying a pair of Astro A50 headphones and it requires an optical connection. My desired setup is, I want to be able to hear whatever sound the AV unit is outputting - whether it's source is the connected TV, PS4 or Xbox One...

I have narrowed down my choice of manufacturers to Yamaha and Denon. Price will play a role. The cheaper I can get a great choice the better. On the Denon side I am looking at the AX-2000, AX-3000 or maybe the 2113CI. On the Yamaha side I am looking at the 673, 773 or the 675, 775. My...

      Hello this is my first post though I have lurked in the shadows gathering info on and off for awhile now.  I wanted to try sharing info back with everyone basically as a little thanks for the info I have gathered.  Please forgive the non scientific and rookie comments/info but I am a...

 So I recently upgraded my home theatre. Although no where near to the level of probably the majority of the members on here. I am rather new to this stuff and trying to learn all I can.   Here is my set-up:   Yamaha RX-V773WA including WIFI networking and I added the Yamaha bluetooth...

I am in the market for a new 1.4a compliant HDMI reciever for my home theater. Things I care about: 1.4a HDMI HDMI passthrough switching 7.2 channel with all hi-def audio formats AT least 2 HDMI inputs. Don't actually need more than two. Great sound for my budget. 1 toslink input...

I have little knowledge of speakers and would kindly appreciate some advise on speakers for my new house. I recently got a Yamaha RX-V773 and realized my old Klipsch HD 500 speaker system is too weak for my larger living room 25'x20'. I would like to get floorstanding speakers and center with...

 Have b&w pm1 bookshelfs (84 efficiency) and svs subwoofer being powered by a 7.1 yamaha v773 (95 wpc) and play music (256 kbps itunes) via iphone usb cable or airplay. It sounds good but i wonder if a dedicated amp or a better dac than what is built in would make a nice improvement in sound...

I was able to go to bestbuy today and discover this issue is likely reproducible across much of their product line. I reproduced the issue of making the receiver shutdown by putting in my U-571 DVD into their Blu-ray player (I don't think brand or model matters) not send the audio to any...

My old Sony receiver just went out on me and I've been researching receivers for about 2 weeks now. I'm more confused then ever now. lol. So I've come to the experts and hopefully you guys can lead me in the right direction. I am mainly looking to use this receiver to listen to music and maybe...

I have my Yamaha RX-V773WA L/R pre-outs connected to a Crown XLS 1500 PA. When L/R speakers are directly connected to the AVR, I get no buzz. The AVR pre-outs are connected to the PA inputs over RCA. So here is what I did so far to identify/isolate source of the problem: 1. From the PA...

 Hello everyone,   I am re-creating a theater room where the previous owner of my house had his. I'm doing the labor myself and my budget likely doesn't compare to others' I've seen around here, but I hope that you can advise me, I don't want to proceed before getting advice on which wires to...

Can anyone offer any recommendations for a 7.2 receiver? I had two Sony STR-DN1040 that did not play nice with my Panasonic VT60 **video dropouts via HDMI** If curious, this was the problem I'm running modest speakers that work very well for the size of the room: Energy Take Classic 5.1...

 I often play on my PS3 and at the same time stream airplay audio. From my research the only brand of receivers that can do this is Yamaha.   I've gotten pretty definitive answers that Sony's airplay receivers can't do this. If you know otherwise, please let me know.    I'm not sure about...

Thinking of getting an external amp to power the Front L/R but need to make sure the zone1 pre-out voltage from my RX-V773WA matches the external amplifier's input sensitivity. I called Yamaha tech support but first level support did not have the information and I haven't yet received an answer...

My AVR is Yamaha RX-V773WA and front L/R are CSW Henry Kloss Tower-1 (rated at 250W RMS and 6ohms). I had been thinking about getting an Emotiva UPA-200 but then saw a sale at Musiciansfriend and after some quick research, bought a Behringer iNUKE NU1000 for $199 + tax. The brief research I...
