congrats on new purchase rclxms.gif
have u run the YPAO calibration?

make sure crossover is enabled by setting all speaker size = small.
and dont use direct mode
*
I set front speakers big wor. What is direct mode? Later try...
now woofer a bit problem. The rca L (mono) socket got something
stuck stuck inside and cant plug plug cable all the way in. Only connect
The right mono jack. Is this a problem? The cable split from the amp
to left/right for the woofer.

crossover function is to filter out bass from full range sound and feed into subwoofer.

if use front speaker large, means the crossover is disabled.
well, depends on the content you play. stereo movie or songs your subwoofer will not be activated, becos no signal feed in.
but 5.1 surround movie will work, see the extra signal of .1 channel? (5 channel full range to each speaker + 0.1 partial channel just for the bass a.k.a. sub-woofer)

your subwoofer has left and right RCA separated input. meaning got built in crossover too?
set to maximum Hz in order to bypass it, as u can remote control it from AVR too

usually our connection to AVR will combine bass from left and right channel become mono (1 RCA only), due to the characteristic of deep bass is not directional.
so, no difference to connect right RCA only without the left side

direct mode (or pure direct) means no digital processing. from your player straight decode & amplify the signal to speaker.
the digital processor control ur listening distance, volume & crossover. direct mode = semua tutup.
some ppl say it is good for serious listening, but i feel very plain unless u sit very close to speaker

can try connect the cone shape mic into AVR and run YPAO calibration. it will do all setting automatically about 10 minutes.
i find it is good for starter, then slowly change the calibration settings.

Thanks bro for the info. But i am still a bit confused. Now i have set all speakers to small. The Crossover in the 475 is 100Hz. Is this good???

Yes, there is a manual crossover in the sub-woofer. So i need to set it to max?

all correct as a starter. crossover setting is abit rely on the speaker set u use. may i know what speaker or the inch size (diammeter) u have?

use AVR to control crossover is easier tongue.gif got remote maa...
*
Em...can control crossover from remote? I can only see the crossover in the setup menu...btw is 100Hz ok?? I dunno what value to set....rclxub.gif...

Another question...does this V475 decodes normal DTS or DD5.1??? Seems the manual only mentioned DTS-HD and DD TrueHD...I have lots of bluray rips, most are DTS or DD5.1 only.

The receiver doesn't shows a DTS or DD logo....unlike my old RXV-520 which shows a DTS or DD logo whenever the stream is detected. Is this normal for new receivers??? rclxub.gif

for crossover point i use the lowest frequency point following front speaker specs.

last time 4" front i put 100hz just nice.
now have upgraded 5" front, it run 80hz no problem.

press DISPLAY, then press down a few times on remote to confirm the stream type is dolby /dts not LPCM
are u using computer hdmi port or hdd media player ?
if pc need to tick the support of dolby & dts in sound setting of hdmi audio
*
My Subwoofer is Yamaha YST-205...dunno how to calculate inch...sweat.gif.. Now i set crossover max on woofer=140Hz, receiver=100hz (default).

I think when i press Display..it always display PCM, and then Dolby Pro Logic II....haven't try to press down yet...will try that tonight.

Currently using my WDTV Live to test and has set the passthrough for the HDMI.

Also, when i try TEST TONE...i can not hear anything on the subwoofer...is this normal? I think my old receiver also the same...can never hear test tone on the subwoofer.

==========

Says here it is 8 inch???

yup YST205 is 8" or 200mm
aiya, im asking the front speaker diammeter dry.gif

wdtv set hdmi passthrough is correct. can you double check the video files really 5.1 ar?

test tone got sound one, including subwoofer that make low rumble note
if u hear nothing, maybe need to move sub closer to wall or adjust louder from AVR and the volume behind sub
*
Oopss..soryy...the chaplang speaker dunno what diameter...just measure across or how? It's standing flloor speaker...i think got 6 inches width gua...

Yes, confirm those files have dts/dd one...aiyo...i have downloaded and watch so many years....almost 6 TB worth of bluray rips. Now i have turned off the subwoofer auto-standby ...i found most of the time, if the subwoofer went to sleep, dunno how to wake up even when there is action scene....last night watch a bit Pacific Rim...

Another thing...the volume control now goes by dB(-ve and +ve)...very hard to read....why can't they just use normal numbers from 0 - 100 or whatever...haiz...What is the max no. for the volume by dB??

Someohow, i still feel the subwoofer is not as loud as it should be compared previously with old receiver....sad.gif

This is my problem when first try to setup my HT. Try to (Back of SWR):
1- set auto-stdby to HIGH Mode.
2- set all speaker to large

Then try to play any file.
*
But isn't setting speaker to Large means sending the low-frequency signal to the speakers instead of the subwoofer??

6inch can handle 80hz if your listening room is medium size. but if u prefer to let subwoofer work, give 120hz crossover a try nod.gif
press DISPLAY and press down a few times will show the total channel signal from wdtv, eg. "3/2/1" means "front /rear /subwoofer"

if prologic mode the signal is not correct. make sure hdmi audio is set to bit stream or passthrough

auto standby can be wake by increase subwoofer volume in AVR

lets say ur amp is rated 80w. zero db means full power
i usually use -30db until -20db inside room. maximum can go +16db

Thanks for the info...can't wait to try tonight! notworthy.gif

Tried already. I think i solved the problem...caused by....USER STUPIDITY!!! doh.gif

Was testing the passthrough when AVR is in standby to the TV the other day...HDMI was set to stereo to allow TV output sound...then forgot to change back to passthrough. doh.gif

I saw the DTS word now, but i don't get anything when press DISPLAY and down?? Oh well, as long as it's working now...happy!!!

Thank you!

Ammarafandi: I think i notice something...if set the Extra bass to on...then seems the subwoofer getting more sound...reminds me my old receiver also seems to need to set to BOTH. rclxub.gif

IF set to off, somehow the subwoofer sometime not getting the bass. This is most profound when listening to MP3 music.

Ktek: 1 more question....if play DTS-HD/MA, will it show a different logo? I think currently my files are mostly DTS only. I dun have Bluray player yet....

NeoX7 powerful enough for BD m2ts? Can bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTSHDMA flawlessly?

I don't have BD player. Only from my rips which are mostly DTS. So not sure about that.

Thanks. definitely will try it out. I probably miss this out in the manual. My BD player, media player, TV is connected with 673 through hdmi. For picture quality, BD player have better quality than the media player. Even the source of the media player is BD.

Depends on your media...if your media file is like 1 to 2GB...very low bit-rates...you should see those over 10GB files...there won't be much difference, unless you have really large TV, maybe 60" or bigger. But of course, soundtrack with DD-TrueHD/DTS-MA will be better.

1913 is 7 channels right? how do you find Denon's performance? aesthetically it looks better than Yamaha but like you said some reviews said that Yamaha v475 has got the best sounding quality in that range albeit other features might be lacking. decision decision decision...

Buy Yamaha lah....i got Yamaha digital piano, electric guitar, AVRs, subwoofer....tongue.gif

Yamaha not only build AV equipments...they also have reputable Music School...they MAKE music.
So i am sure they know about sound and music.
