You have a Yamaha 2600? Malakas yan sir, yanig ang upuan mo diyan ...

Quote from: Courage on Apr 08, 2011 at 06:57 PM

Thanks Barrister so my Yamaha has the Advance parametric equalizer because i can change the amplitude, center frequency and bandwidth. So there is 3 settings i can change though i understand now what that P. Equalizer do i just dont know what the correct value to put in to those 3 settings..

On Yamaha, Parametric Equalization (PEQ) can be performed automatically or manually.

PEQ is applied automatically by running YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) with the included microphone.

PEQ is applied manually by going through the menu and adjusting the 3 parameters (Gain, Frequency and Q factor) individually.

First, you apply PEQ automatically with YPAO, then you use the resulting equalization as a starting point for tweaking the PEQ manually.

My advice --- Just run YPAO to set PEQ automatically. Check volume levels, distances, frequencies, speaker size, etc. for any obvious errors, and tweak manually. Then stop there.

Don't attempt to tweak the PEQ manually. It's too complicated. Sayang na ang pagod, masisira pa ang ulo mo

... i just dont know what the correct value to put in to those 3 settings.. or should i trial and listend...THere's about 7 channels of setting i can change becuase may kanya kanyang parametric equalizer per channel.... Or i'll just let it be ha ha ha... Pero sayang kasi may setting na ganun tapos di ko magamit...

Just listen and adjust? I don't think that's possible.

To tweak PEQ manually, you'll need a microphone and an SPL meter connected to a laptop with soundcard and software that will plot a graph for you. The graph will be the basis for tweaking the receiver's PEQ manually.

Pag basta listen and adjust, I think you'll end up with worse sound than you started with.

That's why my recommendation is: Don't attempt to adjust PEQ manually.

But if you feel like you want to learn how to do it, I'm not the right guy to ask, because I don't know how either

. I just googled about it, then I figured it wasn't worth the effort and gave up ...

Thanks sir for the Info... I gave up also he he he... Shucks kanina pa naman pinag pare pareho ko yung value nang left at right speakers ha ha ha syet gagamit na lang nga ako nang YPAO thing he he...

Thanks again sir.. and for the others who answered my query.....

@Courage
Yung friend ko also has a Yamaha 2600 and was able to listen to it. Music and movies sounded very good and has good clarity. I think this is one of the best Yamaha receivers. In movies it has that thunderous booming bass.

wala akong masabi napaka relax talaga si A1
unlike my previous avr (RXV-1500) bigyan mo pa db para lumabas yung SQ at uminit pa

si A1 parang wala lang, 9 o'clock ang level volume ko swabe na swabe si FS
parang nakatingin sakin si A1 at parang may sinasabi bigyan mo pa db men.
at napa isip ako wag na baka si FS ma puyat.

bro huwag na ipaalala kung paano tumunog ung dsp-a1, nakaka inngit eh. Again congrats and maski ako sumakit ang likod ng ipa ship ko yan. Kung may budget lang talaga hindi na nakarating sa PDVD yan.

Receiver mo ba dati yung na kay jackdee ngayon?

How could you let go of such powerful amp he he he.... how could you?

buzzworth · « **Reply #3248 on:** Apr 10, 2011 at 03:54 PM »

:)actually hindi sa akin, sa tropa ko, inalok lang sa akin. And since walang budget I need to let it go amd post it here, nag stay sa akin ung amp ng 5 days and it did bring out beautiful sounds sa kahit anong speaker na ikabit ko. Kung meron lang budget o kaya HDMI, malabong pakawalan ko yan.

Good evening mga Sir, Inquire lang regarding yamahas AVR, saw some models at Rob. Pioneers.

Here are some models and Prices;

RXV-463 - 20K
RXV-367 - 18.5K
RXV-467 - 25K

Im very new to this Audio/Video world and matagal na din akong nagpplanong set-up mainly for music listening and some Movie Watching. Plano ko lang muna is 2 speakers.

Baka pwede pagpayuhan nyo ako kung anung magandang model, mga feedbacks regarding sa mga models above. At baka may conuterpart sya na better sa ibang brand? Salamats

The RX-V467 supports HD Audio, and the other two do not (if that matters to you).

Check out the following units as well (comparable pricing):
Onkyo TX-SR508 / 509
Pioneer VSX-820-K
Denon AVR-1611

My opinion, RXV-467 would be the better choice. Both RXV463 and 347 are made in China while yung 467 is made in Malaysia. The Yamahas made in Malaysia have cooler amps and does not emit that much heat compared to those from China. The 463 is already phased out while 367 is still not yet 3D ready. 467 is 3D ready and has provisions for an iPod dock, and to make it 7.1 channel. This is what the Yamaha sales staff told me.

mga sirs, tanong ko lang kung sino sa inyo may experience na magpa-repair ng yamaha receiver (rx-465)?
yun sa akin kasi ayaw gumana ng HDMI input/output. Dinala ko sa authorized repair shop sa Lipa, Batangas.
ang sabi sira daw yun HDMI board and ang overall cost ng repar is P16K.. Sobrang mahal para na ko bumili ng bagong units.. Need your inputs kung saan may reliable shop na pwede magpa-repair

arcbodom · « **Reply #3255 on:** May 16, 2011 at 02:20 PM »

My minana akong yamaha reciever from erpats, yamaha HTR 5280, ang bili nya ata dati $600 dollars ata, tagal na nun, madami po xang inputs, eto un pic ng likod

baka meron pang ibang naging owner ng ganitong model d2, ano kaya difference ng sound nito sa mga bagong yamaha recievers, wala pa kc ako nadalang ibang model ng yamaha AVR sa bahay.

Discrete power transistors rather than IC chips are used in the amplifier section to provide the cleanest sound possible. The amp deliver 100 watts each to five channels. 33lbs

so far satisfied naman po ako sa SQ nya, nacurious lng po ako sa difference ng SQ nito compared to newer models given the same audio source and speakers.

Try to get a second opinion from other repair centers kahit hindi Yamaha authorized dealer. Ask for a breakdown on why and how they arrived at php16k. My friend had a broken laptop and the repair shop said the logicboard needs to be replaced at a cost of php27k. He got a second opinion from another repair center and the broken parts was just the LCD and the videocard and he only spent php7k so naka save sya ng gastos.

Months back I inquired at 5th Avenue for the RXv667. By order basis daw sya. Estimated price mga php38k to 40k. They only have the RXv567 which was at php33k to 35k. Try mo inquire din sa Super Manufacturing sa del monte ave.

chief,

May additional tax ba na binabayaran kapag nagpauwi from US?

Nagpapabili kasi ako nito sa Pinsan ko, either sa baggage or kapag nagpa Air Freight sya eh

Yamaha RX-V371 <-- click for specs

Nakasulat sa features:
HD Audio format decoding: Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

question: Magkakaissue ba sa decoding nung usual dd/dts or wala?

TIA

Haven't been taxed, not even once,...
From the first DVD player I bought nuon sa US way back the late 90s,
up to last year yata ng ipauwi ko ang BD player ko,...

Hey guys,

I have an rxv357 receiver, connected to my pc through coaxial cable. and the volume fluctuates while playing mkv movies but not audio files (i need to double check). I also tried it with an eGreat R200 Pro through HDMI and it still happens.

With plain tv audio it is ok as well.

Setup: 2.0 floorstanding speakers

what could be the culprit to my problem?

Thanks.
