dont do this... if condensation happens during powertrips or anything, u will cry..

he won cry, he happy, get new onky 875

Htkaki was talking about the Onky lar... Yammy no overheating issue.

aiman is right. Only Onkyo has this issue. But, not sure abt Europe model.

I think I will have to forget abt 875 for the moment.

The 1800 really is a great AVR itself. If I can't find a buyer I don't mind keeping mine.

Can i know how much you are willing to let go?

Yes, I am interested too. Please PM your best price for the RV1800.

aiman has sold off his. How much you guys are willing to pay?

kekekke, u also wanna sell ar?

If price is good lah. Sayang also since it is only a month old.

Onky 875 that good huh...not for me la since my living room got no aircon one. Plus I'm Yammy fan

Looks like this 875 upgrade bugs is really catching on... I thought I wanted to wait for 876.. sigh.. don't know I long I can tahan

You should have grab it during the last bulk. Very cheap leh....876 only some additional feature only. See here : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/768020

Damn, I totally missed the bulk purchase. Where was it?

Hey htkaki,

Was looking at buying the 3800 then I came across this statement below

For those of you who had the foresight NOT to invest in a doomed technology, it's a little tougher to take advantage of True HD. My Playstation 3 can process Dolby True HD internally, but it cannot output bitstream audio in quantity sufficient for the Yamaha to use it's own processing power to output in True HD. Instead, the PS3 outputs linear PCM to the Yamaha which can amplify the processed True HD audio. Unfortunately, the Yamaha can only perform this function in its "Pure Direct" audio mode. Even more unfortunately, the RX-V3800 cannot output video through HDMI when in Pure Direct mode. So, in order to watch BluRay with True HD audio, you have to output the video (through the PS3's component video output) directly to your tv while the Yamaha is set to Pure Direct.


Is this true for the Yamaha 3800? If it is then I can't really use it for my setup.

Hi elmer,

I don't think the statement that you've came across is correct. Where did you see the statement from?

Its correct up to the point where PS3 will decode TrueHD signal internally and send it out as PCM via HDMI. The RX-V3800 take in PCM without issue.

The pure direct mode is only used when you're listening to a purely audio source and by running pure direct mode, the audio signal is passing through the least number of circuitry in the AV receiver.

I dont think it is correct since it mentioned component video output. HD (HDCP) can only be output via HDMI. So, in this case, I dont think PS3 can do HD via component.

I did check my 1800 whenever I watch BD. On the screen, it clearly state the status of audio signal,,whether in umcompressed, Dolby TreuHD or DTS HD MA.

Wait for Round 2

Pure rubbish. This guy don't even have an Yamaha.

And all AV receivers will turn off almost everything while in Pure Direct/Audio or whatever they call it.

Listen to the people who actually own yammy...
