if you seek better sql, then you waste your time waiting for 665

my first receiver is yammy 461, then >> 463, the only difference is HDMI Audio, the sound quality is the same.

same with my yammy 1600, then >> 1800, the DD & DTS quality is almost identical.

each time yammy launch new receiver, its only minor upgrade, upscale, digital radio, bla bla, not sql.

wait for yammy 663 dropped its price....then it's a good bargain.

Hi tongkito...

thanks for advice...



If not mistaken, DVD output 480 (as what i see this appear in my LCD TV) and with upscaling, the output via HDMI will be 1080 right?

I never seen the actual quality of upscaling on LCD TV....

to all SiFus....

Is the upscaling quality of DVD to 1080 is close to BlueRay 1080?

IMO, if your source player only support 480 i/p, upscaled to 1080p....then what you see is more or less like stretching the pictures into bigger size.

i've tried playing my Playstation one, upscaled to 1080p.... it only tears my eyes.....lol

dvd upscaling can't match the natural BD 1080, my pioneer dv600 show less differences when i upscaled to 720p or 1080p.

i don't know if you are using dedicated upscaler, maybe it could be better

just thinking that 665 got upscaling... then connect DVD to it and it can upscaling to 1080... haha...

wait it launch then go audit...

Will consider abt that as well. Look n see if the price range is within my budget then only decide, cuz its my first AVR.

yeah, if you buy 665, then you dont need to buy dvd w/ upscaling feature.

i think both 665 & dvd w/ built in upscaler are in the same quality, not using processor

New Entry level Yamaha RX-V465 5.1 Av receiver:-

May i know you bought it from? Mind to share~~~~?

why gold color?? no black meh? blackie nicer luurr...

not mine lar...from some AV pages....

I think Asian got only Gold color, Black for EU/US....

yammy x65 series, looked like Kenwood receiver

Taukeh, I think ar188 will buy this entry level AVR since it cld decode those HD audio. Sld be well around RM1k region.

previously there are also 363 & 463. Just my opinion on this 465, it seems like a waste of money and either you'll upgrade it in very near future, or just enjoy it like some htibs.
I would save up more if i were to choose an AVR, at least a 6xx for start.

wait wait, i just realize that yamaha is downgrading its series.

now Yamaha 465 support DTS-HD, last time was 663 series which support dts-hd

if the price gap between 463 & 465 is small, than go for 465, you can enjoy dts hd on low end models now

I tell you even my 663 now started to feel no umph already. Itchy to get 1900 now or maybe just 1800 if got good bargain. Who wants to let go 1800 cheap cheap...lai lai

just got the 463 yesterday (with HTR 6140 speaker combo)

anyone know how to 'wake' the subwoofer?

it only knows how to go to standby but later dont know how to to wake up

Get 1900! dun think anymore.

Just leave it on, it never really takes up much energy.
Congrats on your purchase, hope you'll enjoy it.

Suddenly, a lot of us bitten by the 'HT bugs'

1800 still available? IMHO, the upgrade in 1900 is too minimal to justify its price tag

465 looked tasty enough if my 459 cannot repair... ehm...

yep...I've been content for quite a while and only enjoying my system. Suddenly one single audition change all that. Now I'm itchy all over
