65 series are out (in the US). Better get your 63 series AVR if you're still looking to get one!

new member here guys..

been using Yamaha RX-V995 for some years now..use it for ps3 games most of the time..my old dvd's (na malabo na ang dating pag watch ko because of BD's)..now some BD movies also using ps3..

planning to upgrade to an HDMI AVR..so i can get DD True HD, DTS HD..(i need to buy a stand alone BD player based sa mga post niyo)..

Yamaha 463 or 663 choices ko..
what can you suggest..i read na may upscaling to 1080p ang 663 para sa mga old dvd's..does that help really? the upscaling?
thanks..

I very much doubt that the 65 series of Yamaha will be released here anytime soon. The 63 series just arrived October 2008.

If the 65 series would indeed be arriving this year, it would probably be during the last quarter of 2009.

I'm torn between getting a RX-V765 or RX-V665. Compared the two and sa RMS Output Power lang naman difference. Sulit ba ang extra cash for the 765? Thanks

765 vs 665

765 vs 665

90wpc @ 1kHz yung 665 while 95wpc @ full bandwidth yung 765. If you convert the values of the 665 to full bandwidth, it'll probably be somewhere around 70 to 75wpc.

IMO, better stick to the 665 and get an external amplifier if you really need more power because a 10 to 20w power isn't that much of a difference. Remember that there's only a 3dB increase in volume for every doubling of power.

Thanks blued888! In your opinion, would the 665 be enough for a diamond 10.7?

I'm pretty sure it'll be fine unless you turn up your volume really loud. In which case, you'll need an external amplifier.

I use big speakers with my 663, wala naman problema. Yun nga lang a bit higher yung sensitivity ng Infinity and according to them it's 8-ohms nominal while the Wharfedales are 6-ohms nominal.

mike c · « **Reply #3073 on:** Jul 01, 2009 at 04:56 PM »

they'll be fine, especially if you set them to "small" with a crossover of 80hz

RNIverson · « **Reply #3074 on:** Jul 02, 2009 at 12:12 AM »

Thanks for all the replies. Will add this to my Yamaha or Onkyo question

blued888 · « **Reply #3075 on:** Jul 08, 2009 at 01:49 AM »

New addition to the 65 series!

RX-V1065

Possibly the successor to the RX-V863, due to the inclusion of HD radio and equal power ratings.

Guys, where I can have my RXV1200 fixed? After more than 8 years of flawless service, it developed a problem last night. It swithces on but then shuts off when you touch some of the control buttons.

It's a very good AVR that never gave me the slightest desire to upgrade so I'd like to extract more service years from it if I can.

TIA.

simonzaide · « **Reply #3077 on:** Oct 16, 2009 at 08:56 AM »

the service center for yamaha is in Banawe

Also i was wondering if any of you guys own a yamaha rx-v1500 any chance you can give me feedback on it and whats a reasonable price for it (2nd hand )

lithium_deuteride · « **Reply #3078 on:** Oct 16, 2009 at 12:46 PM »

Thanks simonzaide;

Noticed there are not too many threads about repairs hereabouts. It's always about buying new, upgrading, etc.

Most people find it an opportunity to upgrade if their equipment breaks down. especially those more money to spare. at some point cost effective din naman with all the advances in features lalo na sa receivers.

lithium_deuteride · « **Reply #3080 on:** Oct 17, 2009 at 08:18 AM »

Right on. I guess I don't have money to spare, hehe.

Good news is my RXV1200 decided to work again last night as if nothing happened. Weird.

I can hold off on replacing it. It's the speakers I'm going to replace first.

Thanks iiinas. I called Audioworld and was given a very helpful self-diagnostics tip: Disconnect all the speaker cables from the AVR and see if the AVR still shuts off. If it still shuts off, there's a problem with the AVR. If it doesn't, then it's likey that the speaker wires are grounded. Sure enough, inspspection revealed that my el cheapo speaker wires have multiple jacket cuts exposing the copper. Time to buy real speaker wires, hehe. Also explains why the AVR decided to act up as soon as I replaced the Wharf fronts with B&W.

At least my old beloved AVR is still OK.

Jason_10 · « **Reply #3086 on:** Oct 26, 2009 at 09:24 PM »

Hi guys! I've this old but reliable RXV-450. I'm having a little problem with the component video switching. It used to connect to CV sources now it only detects one at a time. I tried switching connections (CV A and CV B) and it only detects one video source. Tried a factory reset but to no avail. Should I bring it to AudioWorld na?

ivannn · « **Reply #3087 on:** Oct 26, 2009 at 09:52 PM »

bring it na sir para ma check nila agad. by the way, pareho tayo ng receiver

yung sa akin so far no problems pa naman.

Jason_10 · « **Reply #3088 on:** Oct 28, 2009 at 11:12 AM »

My 450 is in audioworld na for check up and repair. Saw their new HDMI receivers na rin. Kaya lang even with mid end models, the remote no longer has the learning function.

Jason_10 · « **Reply #3089 on:** Nov 01, 2009 at 04:07 PM »

Got my 450 na. Resolder lang pala ng board. Glad ok na.
