i bought at this shop at pertama. i think i get a good deal coz im buying my speakers as well. so the shop owner giv me kind a good deal as well. after a lots of nego nego lah.. also manage to get free 50ft 12AWG speaker cable (dunno what brand lah! ) and one HDMI cable. haha free delivery summore!



hehe, none taken nak buat macamana, i tak saba nak beli... haha but it is a hell of a avr it is.

ya, just get the 663 lah, since the price is not so much difference.




ha, this one is the king of poison!

i think 661 and 663 still share the same core and similarity... so im gonna menyibuk on this one hehe

I use manual setup. YPAO auto settings was all over the place.

my speakers (center - front L&R - Surrounds L&R - Surrounds back L&R) all i set to SML. ( i think on the manual says for speakers that have woofer dimension below than 16cm use SML)

Crossover i set in range of 90 -100 kHz.

Subwoofer phase set to normal.

EQ set to match center channel

Speakers level all set manually, all same level.

Speakers distance also manually

Dynamic Range i set to normal.

and for movie viewing i always use Yamaha DSP Movie-spectacle settings. I tweak the delays,room size manually to match my room size add a bit reverb and the DSP level is +2dB.

for concert viewing i use Entertainment-Music videos settings.

once i got my hand on a SPL meter, im gonna recalib again.

i guess in my situation, when i activate the 'Pure-Direct' mode (means my AVR will use straight signal from output, and shut off all unnecessary circuits so pure signal could be attain) the sound sounded mushy and kinda thin. when i de activate the 'Pure-Direct', then the sound gets fuller and rockin. after adding EQ on to match center channel, the sound gets more deeper and clear.

no hard feelings lah bro...

its true also what u sed...

like u sed lah, we all farmers... haha so entry level equipments saja..

later got money i upgrade...

gonna go home n try again the pure direct...

recalib again...

yea, my sub is on 0dB.

thats y i need to get a SPL meter, so could calib the other speakers accordingly..

* lookin at ebay..

haha, can..

the radioshack one is recommended eh?

but radioshack wont ship to malaysia...

one one yamaha speaker that they considered high-end that won an award..

suavo series.. never tested it.. desa got.


Dato Mega, I tried pure direct mode on few of my SACDs, and u rite, it sounded awesome... haha, never tried the pure direct mode often.. i think for music listening is advisable to use direct.

nah, ur 663 will pass the video signal... only process the MPCM audio.. so no PQ affected.. dun worry

HDMI cable? theres is a lot of bickering/debates/fighting/war between cheap & branded/expensive one. So if u ask me, i'll go for cheap one (coz digital, 1, 0 thingy) and i look at the build quality also.

itu la

i want to try lah... havent got my hand to the expensive one yet.

i own 661 and its still kick ass!

haha

those denon 6ohms speakers. forgot the model already, absolute.

i hav 7.1 setup. floorstanders, bookshelves, and center is same denon brand. my sub is mscarnival9, 24hz.

pretty okay for small room. no complaints.

best value.

try run the auto calib, maybe some errors in connection or what.

wau those DSP-Z7 is quite good eh..

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.
