actually i still cant decide wether to get the 671 or the onkyo 609? 40-40-20 for movies/ps3/music respectively on jbl studio L speakers. im leaning towards the 671, as it is more reliable in my experience of my older yamaha model.

Good day PDVD. Pa help naman. My Avr is Yamaha 371, ano po ba ang magandang setting if watching movies? i set my Measy E8HD to HDMI Raw, then ang lumalabas sa AVR is DTS. Speakers are Diamond 9.5, Diamond 9.CM & Amber AM-20.1 Surround. Thanks

Your setting is just fine unless you are having a problem or issues?

sir nakulam na ako ng aventage mo! hahahaha

sa susunod na pag full pay na tong AVR ko

Na observe ko lang sa 371 ko, Remux movies are DTS-HD, once pag play ko, Lumalabas ang DTS-HD then switch back to DTS... hindi kaya sa NMT ko, which is Measy E8HD, i dont know if this is capable of DTS-HD.

Hi mga sirs. Im thinking to switch plan for my futute av. Tumaas kac price ng onkyo 809 sa amazon. Ano mga
advantage ng aventage 2000 sa onkyo 809? will be using rti a3 speakers. Halos konti na din kc difference sa price nila.

Yes sir your receiver is capable of decoding HD from DTS and DD.. Check your NMT, cables and source file..

I'm sure the 809 is an excellent receiver.. I've also considered that before buying the Aventage...

But if it's me i'll get the Aventage 2000, well depende din kasi sa Model... pag 3009 na or Aventage 2000.. i'll get the 3009 pero pag A3010 na usapan i'll probably get the A3010..

But again i've been a fan of Yamaha because of my experience with their receivers.. Never pa ako naka experience nang Onkyo though..

Anybody familiar with yamaha 467? I just acquired a preowned one. Papaano po ba ise-set ang AVR to play the HD audio of bluray movies? Or should it be set at the player?

Make sure you set your player to raw or passthrough and make sure HDMI ang connection nang player to AVR.

Yes sir, hdmi ang connection from bd player to yamaha 467 with the surround decoder set at automatic. I-check ko na lang yung setting sa bd player. Thanks.

Did you try to remove all connections first speakers and sources then try it again?

mikey1972 · « **Reply #3355 on:** Mar 06, 2012 at 04:05 AM »

The M10 would work great with the RX-V371, but you'd need a sub that plays high (the PSW subs come to mind). The M10 performs best when crossed fairly high (80-100Hz).

The RX-V467 does not display the stream type. As long as your source is streaming the proper format and your receiver outputs surround audio when 'Straight' mode is selected, then you shouldn't worry.

just hookup my DSP-A1

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.

bangis ni A1 sumakit likod ko sa kakabuhat. (general cleaning kasi)

Mabangis talaga tumunog ito...Ikumpara mo pa sa mga latest model na may HDMI at DTS_HD...
Marami na rin akong sinubukan na Yamaha na Di TOL mahirap pakawalan ito hehehe
