as i remember the sound become very sharp. still not enough bass kick. i test yamaha 3 and 4 entry series only.

aventage model will be different (i guess) as many sifu here satisfy with blasting setup.

I see. I think lower end Yamaha models always have problems with bass. Someone told me once that its because of lower voltage from the sub preout, not sure if this is true though.

Yamaha sub preouts are often times only 1.0v, aventage models or not.

Many of today's digital amps on subwoofers have a sensitivity of 1.2v to 1.5v on the input, so having only 1v supplied to them, the usual "12 oclock" gain is often times not enough (again, placement matters). So, just turn the damn dial to 3 oclock, problem fixed. The sub isn't going to explode, because if it does then that sub is just a fart box to begin with.

beside that. going more expensive avr give better remote. has glow in dark keys
cant see the small text actually. still cool rite

no wonder la... myself increase the sub knob. cannot tahan the empty feeling.

Yamaha's top end model now a days have no backlit keys on the remote anymore. Cost cutting 101.

har.... expecting rich ppl use remote app.
luckily mine avr are not latest. enjoy while it last.

Wanna use back my old pioneer home theater speakers... the dvd player is dead now... how do I go about it?

Hello any expert there, can I get any good receiver that support multi channel 7.1 analogue input amplifier around KL or Penang area, prefer marantz, yamaha or denon, my budget RM4500 only for receiver alone. Thanks.

marantz sure got. yamaha and denon above 3.5k model should have
u previously use what

Previous use Pioneer VSX-820K. Wanna upgrade. Priority is multi channel 7.1 analogue input.

just hook up the speaker wires to an amp / AVR. as simple as that.
for safety, check you the impedance rating (in ohm) at the back of each speaker. if it's between 4ohm to 10 ohm, you should be fine.

newer generations of Yamaha have ditched 7.1 analog input.
for pioneer, the LX-8# is over your budget.
denon doesn't have it as the unit with 7.1 analog inputs are reserved for marantz.
with RM4500 budget, can try marantz SR6011.

Thanks

i all. i just got myself a yamaha home threater system. the speakers come with white wires hence i am confused with one should be connected to positive and which one should be connected to negative

one of the wire pair has a colour striped line. i read in some websites that the striped colour indicate negative while some other web sites wrote it indicates positive. now i am confused. can anyone here offer any advice?

Don't know where the myth started that you have to match colors to colors.

What matters is that you match the positive to positive and negative to negative to avoid polarity issues. The cable color doesn't matter because all it does is transport current to the speakers from the amp, they are still copper underneath their jacket. There are some custom cables that are wired only one way, but that's a whole different topic so don't worry about that.

The stripes/colors/shape of a speaker cable pair doesn't matter, they exist just to remind the user which terminal the cable is connected to.

So basically, the striped portion of your cable can go to + or -, it doesn't matter. You just make sure that if you connect it to + on the amp/receiver, you then connect it to the + terminal on the speaker. Repeat the same for all speakers.

What SSJBen said.

If there's no +/- or red/black sign behind the speaker (depending on models, speaker wire can go fully into the cabinet), you need to test with a 9v battery. (google search speaker polarity test using battery)

ah got it guys. did what you all said and all is good. thanks a mil

Hi,

Need a recommendation for a av received to be rack mounted. Prefer a slim unit

Thanks
