ronaldjoe...u bought the same thing I bought at Yammy sales last year from speakers down to the sub except the amp is 461 (no 463 at the time )

Welcome to Yammy club. I can see it won't be long before ur next upgrade

Yeah, especially if you visit this forum too much. You'll be itchy to upgrade like there's no tomorrow.

The best is to have yourself properly shielded when you enter this forum ... below are two very very poisonous snakes .....
I think they should have a warning on topics or restricted topic if you don't wish to be exposed to those poisonous nukes.

I'm aiming for the V663. Don't really need the power and the upscaler of the V863 and with the size of my viewing room, it really don't matter.

Still waiting to get good deal on it. My brother managed to get the v663 second hand from a fellow forumer for RM1550 for like 1 month old v663. Damn good deal!

one question, anyone running the presence speakers setup?

i have good ol' v661.

and previously i was so excited about this feature. But the reality is u only can use 'presence on - surr back off' or 'presence off - surr back on'

so if u care about the surround back output, u cannot use presence speakers ability.

But nonetheless its a fine features by yamaha. Sometimes u watch concerts, u dont really need the surround back. so you could use the presence speaker and apply effects to it. most notable one is 'dialog lift'. it can lift u the center (voice) channel up to your listening (preferred) position and really makes u into the scene. Other than that it could use to further enhance the DSP effects.

unless u elite enuff and opt for RX-Z11, u could use all 11 channel discreetly; presence, surr, all on.

When you mean surround back and not including the sur L & R.
Hmmm my Sofa is way planted to the wall and I have my LR surround facing me .. so I guess I'll give the presence speakers a try ..
Thanks .. oh yea do you ground your AVR? I always kena short... ouch

surround back. not L & R.

i never kena short frm my avr.

hmmm then why mine short ...

too much stress test by yammy?

Yup, can only choose one setup. So you can still enjoy them if you already have 7 speakers, only have to switch back and forth every time you change from presence to surround back, or the other way around. If you have 9 speakers, then no problem.

About that short thing, I also never kena...

I would think that I could stand it I will do selective reading in Yammy forum
But how long it could last? ...dun know la

1 question
how or where should i connect my subwoofer cable to the rear of my 861 ?
its not those subwoofers with built-in amp ... i'm trying to connect my previous mini hifi component's subwoofer to it (for temporary time being while i rob $ to buy a REAL subwoofer)
I got a pair of stereo bookshelf connected to both front speaker output and a center speaker to the center speaker output ... other than that all others left un-occupied.
Should i use the surround or surround back output ?
PLS HELP ! TQ !
