Duh...looks like I'm stuck with the constant need to turn on my TV, even when I'm listening to the radio. The only way would be to go into pure direct. but that bypasses the subwoofer. Bookshelf's bass can't compare to a sub.  What a waste of energy....haiii

That should be Aquos Link on my Sharp TV. I don't think I set it to on, but let's see tonight. I'm getting a 15m LAN to test out the network capability today though.

Got my RX-V473 after getting poisoned by a friend's Aventage series.  Used to have a cheap amp but has not revisited home theatre systems since it died a long time ago.  Was pleasantly surprised how far AV receivers came along. 

Hit the same error when updating firmware to 1.14 from the receiver unit itself, downloaded firmware into USB drive and it works. 

Love DLNA - playing music from my WDTVLiveHub. 
Minor detail :
Net Server mode to play music > change to any other scene/input source > change back to net Server.  It gets out-of-sync and keeps waiting on "loading" to display music list. 
Hitting "Net" to cycle through Net radio, airplay and back to Net Server solves it. 

IR Remote control seems to drain new Energizer batteries in 2 days. Swapped 3 sets of new batteries.  Got the remote control changed from the shop, we'll see how this one goes but I suspect I just got a lemon. 

I keep getting "Error - Too noisy" when trying to auto calibrate with the YPAO mic, even at night with the ceiling fan off.  Chose to proceed anyway and then tune by ear. 

Once the initial setup is out of the way, I'm enjoying it. 
Went out to get the NS-SW210 a week later.  Although auto-calibration sets the crossover at 40Hz, I found it to be better at 110Hz.  After which looking at articles online looks like that matches my small to mid size speakers.

Can 473 do manual calibration?

any good 6 ohm bookself speakers to suggest ? Thanks

Bro, what do you tink of the LX56? From the specs it seem superior than the 3020. My main reason for A1020 is because of the biamp and the HDMI connection, but i do not like that it does not have any display for dtsma, or dolby

Personally I quite like Pioneer design even my car HU is Pioneer ...... in fact I have yet to test LX series and RX-A series, so I'm not sure how is the performance between this 2.

But i read some magazine and reviews, LX56 is comparable with 2020, so I supposed 3020 should be above LX56 as the price of these 2 is much diff . However, I think it still subject to what kind of sound you are looking at.

So better try it out. But 1 things to note, LX56 is 4K pass thru not upscalling, but RX-A series have both.

What model u r using? and what speaker u r using as well???

U going for 5.1 or 7.1?

if not mistaken, bi amp u will need to sacrifice 2 channel....

Nope, will not change speaker. Currently using Mezzo 6 for fronts. Mezzo itself is not that power hungry. For me, 5.1 is good enough, as I am still new in HT setup.

in this case, u may need to plan well whether you have intention to go 7.1 + bi amp in future.... or only 7.1... then 7.2 amp should be more than enuff, but u may need to see the power of the amp whether good enuff to drive your speaker set with bi amp.. or u wan change speaker a speaker as well?

I'm now struggling whether 3020 or not haha.....

damn too poisonous!!!!
