Answer is 'cant'. Only 465 and above have built-in HD audio decoder.

Actually, he's asking about DD or DTS so the answer should be yes. I don't see why a DVD player connected to the 363/365 via HDMI can't produce DD or DTS.

ooppss... sorry, my bad. All current avr can accept it. Not a problem.

after reading through the manuals, i found out that 363 and 365 cannot produce sound to the speaker terminals if using bitstream DD/DTS through HDMI. it can only passthrough.

the next higher model, 463, can accept bitstream and decode it as well as accept multi channel LPCM. anyone knows if there's any shop still selling 463? or anyone here wanna sell it at low price?

465 can decode HD audio, so i assume the price should be quite expensive.

^ Really? So if I purchase a 363, I need to connect BOTH a HDMI and an Optical cable to the AVR in order to get DD or DTS? That doesn't sound right..does it?

Hi all Sifus,
1 stupid question, if i already set the cut off frequency in AVR, for example to 100Hz, what is the cut off frequency i should set at the Sub woofer? set as the same as the AVR setting or set highest?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

set it to max at subwoofer and stop spamming with same query on all threads plz

Thanks ronnt, tot can ask different sifus opinion from Yamaha and Denon threads.

anyone using the v665 to watch bluray movies and play ps3 games can share their configs/settings in the receiver?

Anyone went to the yamaha xmas weekend sale at lot8, jalan perbandaran kelana jaya? End on 20dec. I wanna know if there's any nice deal on avr.

Year end stock clearance again. Have to be there early on first day of its sale. Even then, some popular models are being pre-booked already.

I saw the banner too. Sounds interesting.

Hi guys, is there a way do display the input name & sound codec on the display of the unit? E.g on my RX-V1900, it always shows "Straight/Dolby Digital". I was wondering if there's a way to make it "Blu-ray/Dolby Digital" or "Dvico/DTS".. I guess u know what I'm referring to ;-)

Thx in advance!

I think the good stuff will be sapu by those who have contact inside, even before year end stock clearance sale start.

i'm joining this yamaha club with my old RX-V659.
a little bump for this yamaha thread as it's so quiet.

My 'retired' Yamaha 1800 might have a new owner tomorrow.

I have a four year old Yamaha RX-V457. Yamaha RX-V457
No HDMI (for audio - there is digital optical&coaxial input only)
I am pretty happy with it but I am planning to get a FullHD TV and a BD player as well. Will I be shortchanged on sound without upgrading this avr?

Any advice for me?

What I mean to ask is, is there anything from the AQ perspective that I would be missing out on? Digital gives me PCM which is already good enough?

You can consider either RX-V465 or RX-V565.

Hi,

Was wondering whether anyone can advise me if i get the RX-V465, can i still use my Pioneer HTZ-333DVD HTS speakers (rated at 100W each)? How do one decide on whether the speakers can be re-used? I don't want to buy too high end of receiver and bomb the speakers nor do I want to buy too low end and get too soft a sound.

Anyone can advise?
