I'm actually looking forward to the RX-V565

RX-V565BL LINK

It has most of the features of the 665 and 663, FOUR (4!) HDMI in and none of that satellite radio crap that we Malaysians won't be using anyway. And it is cheaper than the 665 and 663.

The Yamaha Comparison Chart on the 663, 665 and 565... HERE

Wonder when this will come? Will it be in time for the next AV Show at JW Marriott in July?

looks good but it also missing some quality points such as:
- Digital ToP-ART <- no quality component used here
- Pure direct - useful if your dvd/bd player as better onboard dac
- S-Video upconversion - astro
- multi-channel decoder
- pre-outs

if price is not much difference then by all means try to get the 6-series instead

Hi all Sifu,

I found Yamaha having a home theater set for RM1799, it is a match for Yamaha Rx-v365 and NP110 speaker set.

My usage on 70% music 30% movie , is it a good buy ?

my budget not more than RM2000

is Rx-v663 the cheapest receiver with loss less audio decoding, available in malaysia market? when will RX-V565BL mention above, available in malaysia ?

im looking for RX-V465 anyone seen it in malaysia?

The 65 series is not here yet. Not too sure when but I hope they'll be here by July

i see hope its cheap, 663 price just wont drop below 1.6k lol, darn price now over my budget

Yamaha RX-Vx65 series could be available in May 2009 +/-

Normally when there launching that time, price could be higher than will reduce slowly, so don't expect the selling price will cheaper than RX-Vx63 series.

I still strongly suggest buy RX-V663 now.

so..what d exct price for 663 at pasaran rite now..?-ehem..noobie here any body?

Around 1.8k

The reason why many of us waiting for the x65 series is because it comes with 4 HDMI IN vs 663's 2 HDMI IN. Some people have more than 2 HDMI devices to plug into the receiver. For my case, I have a BD player, HDMI DVD Player and the soon-to-purchase WDTV.

And the 565 is priced cheaper than the 663. Also those that don't need 7.1 can opt for the 465 (5.1) which is even cheaper and still have 4 HDMI IN.

As the latest news, Yamaha HQ has sold out all the RX-V663 & 863 stock. And stop to bring in any more since going to wait for new x65 series.
If somebody still interested with that, must have to make move faster before retailer finish their stock.

hmm tats... good and bad news...

Hehehe..! As for me hold all horses till d X65 comes in and see if I can get it..

How much you guys think I can sell RXV1300 ? I'm trying to sell it n upgrade

I have a friend just sold his Yamaha RX-V1300 (used less than 2 year, like new) + 2 pc of AAD C205 + 1 pair AAD W-45 Surround Speaker + 1 Pioneer DV-373 DVD Player + Cables = RM2000
How do you think?

1300 is pretty old model. Sld be 2003 OR 2004 model with no HDMI connection.

Yes, when my friend bought that time also in very cheap price (old stock set)
This model have in year end of 2002.

if they not bringing in new stock, and old 863 & 663 finito liao...when the new series will be available in M'sia? desa HT listed their selling price for 863 at RM2999 + free Marantz HDMI dvd player..was very tempted but now...since got new models...hhhrrmm....new think twice...

btw, why so difficult to get a BLACK color yammy amp?? most AV shops carry the silver color unit...when ask bout black unit, they say need to special order...why ar?? majority ppl like black color right?? silver looks a bit off lerr...if anyone know local yamaha distributor very well, can u kindly pass the word??? that we prefer black color units...dun just bring silver color units in...

Hey dudes.. just got my RX-V663, pairing it with Monitor Audio BR2 Fronts and Mordaunt Short 905i Centre.. as for the sub, i'm currently using the Monitor Audio BW10, i have a unit of RS12 with me currently, now having a headache between both of the subs.. the BW10 is just nice for my room.. but when the bass digs deeper, the wind noise is quite audible as it's a ported sub. The RS12 is a sealed sub and the bass is just wonderful.. the problem is.. does the price justifies the difference ? it's about 80% more from the BW10
