ok noted. thank you for your advise.

not all yamaha soundbar are good. the lifestyle are not competitive.

Advice needed please...

I have a Yam RX-V665 and have been using it for a 5.1 set-up
over 5 years and recently some niggling problems have arisen.
Sent for a power supply replacement a month ago and now
the sound goes off for no reason and only comes on when I switch
off the main power supply [usually I keep it on standby].

Should I retire the unit and get a new one?

Or keep on sending it and lighten my wallet?

TQVM for future advice.

Time to change

Tweedled with all the parameters n suddenly it worked again...Lazarus effect I hope...But sometimes the speaker icons will vanish with the sound...then I operate again n works again.
Now to see how long it will last!

Sometimes I really doubt on quality of Yamaha hardware. My whole AVR cannot power on just about 5 months into use. I only use like 2 times per week and dead just like that. Luckily under warranty. Not sure how long it will last

Model pls..

So l can avoid..

Thanks,

5 mths is ridiculous .. for a mid range avr..
suffice to say.. I ll remember abt tis..

Hopefully this is a one time occurrence

Sori,

Not trying to rub salt on de wound.. If I were u, l'd be pissed to hi-heaven.. to me durability [n longevity] is utmost in my criteria - to me other features are secondary .. I want long lasting gear.. not temperamental [even if it is gifted ] ones..
After saying tat - in all my years of playing wif HT, marantzs still hold dear.. [touch wood] no prblms wif all 3 models tat l hv used..

So far I had pioneer before yamaha. Pioneer also is extremely long lasting. Will see what to try once atmos and DTS X is settle down

So far..

In all my readings, Marantz n Pioneer seems to make 'more' durable AVR's - it might not be de best but they hv less problems..

Will dump the Yam if it still cannot hold my manual decoder settings ~ then it must be mamaboard failure. Makes me so fed.up n frustrated!

To Desa HT I will go for some auditions...n hope to get at least 12 int.free payment plan.

Never know they have installment plan

Wait for them to do clear out sales, you may get installment plan without paying 5% of fees.

That's how I got my Marantz 5007 for rm2300 with installment plan

my RX-V795a refuses to die. using it for more than 15 years LOL
looking for a new AVR now for the new HD sound, HDMI, Airplay etc'
. might consider budget RX-V479
