Because there is only one HDMI output on v1900 and it has output to projector already.... unless I manually unplug the HDMI output to TV, how can I watch my BD on TV since dvdp connect to TV via component and TV only has one component.... if the TV has two then I can connect PS3 to TV via component directly....

So my question is can the v1900 out the signal to LCD via component as the same way HDMI does? For not to confuse you all below is the connection that I have:

The current setting:
dvdp > HDMI > v1900
ps3 > HDMI > v1900
v1900 > HDMI > projector so I can watch dvd & bd on projector (the current setting)
dvdp > component > TV

Feasible?
If dvdp > component > v1900
ps3 > component > v1900
v1900 > component > TV then I can watch dvd & bd on TV without changing the cable (plug & unplug)

My question is can v1900 have multiple input of component (video) and output the video signal to 1 device via component like the way it does to HDMI (4 in 1 out)?

oic....

from your description above...should be no problem....but I don't know if the v1900 can output HD video through component.
if you go this way...everytime you wanna watch BD or DVD, you have to do some setting changed (i.e. video output in PS3 etc.). more troublesome than plug & unplug IMHO

just get a HDMI spliter lar....

or v3900 w/ 4 in 2 out BTW, any idea what is price like for v3900? Any good HDMI spliter recommented?

dear all V663 users,
if this model locate at non-aircond room, watching movie for long hours. will it cause heat and trouble?
any heat issue on this model? do we need to put some fan or something?

I dont think so it will overheat as long as there is ample ventiliation for the unit to 'breathe'.

seems that a replacement for 863 came out liao called RX-V765:

cheers,
wps

Where can get 333+444+555+777 at a cheap price? how much are you qouted?

Bought the following in Aug 2008 at Harvey Norman for RM 6,200 (on promotional offer).

Yamaha RX-V863 AVR with NS555, NS333, NS-C444, NS-SW315.

BTW, anyone checked out what's the difference between the V863 with the new V765?

Mind to breakdown how much you paid for 863 and the speakers set?

It was a package offer price. Don't know the breakdown.
But I remember that if I add up all individually, the savings is nearly 2K or something like that.

the list price for the V863 how much?

where is the best place to get a yamy reciever, particularly the rx-v3900. And for the same price, what are the options for other brands??

I saw the V863 last week at Harvey Norman's - Its about 3.6k if I remember correctly.

Is this a tad to pricey for the V863? One of my friends told me one could get it for not more than 3k however I don't remember the place.

Yammy 863 price is abt RM2.8K.

863 bout 2.7 k - 2.8 k @ A&L amcorp

Why is HN selling it so high? or did I see the price there wrongly...hmmmm

Thank you htkaki and zerorulez for supplying the more accurate info.

Saw 863 at penang @2.4k..

Btw my AVR is 6.1 RX V1300.. I will be buying LCD and bluray player soon.. should i upgrade to 7.1 for DTS-MA, truehd stuff?

Yes, if you are into BD. Anyway, still can buy now for 'future' proofing as I believe these formats will stay for at least 5yrs before a new format being created.

I wonder what other format will be since lossless already here. Maybe more speakers, ie 9.2, 11.1 /11.2 (then again high end models already have these)

bro, where did you see the 863 for that price? Looks tempting

Did you see it in black? Most Yammy's I've seen so far are the champagne/silver color one.

Saw at AV shop at chai leng park.. it doesnt look black... more like grey.
price 2.4k is before discount.. I saw them stick a price card PROMOTION $2400 so big there.
