Yup, same here. I suspect HDMI handshake issue, that's why I suggest him to try other cables. Just to confirm.

I'm selling of my RX-V1800. Check here:

Agreed. Calibrated properly, and the center height thing, it's in the manual to raise it. Read the manual.

1800? Nope, still need more power, 3800 will get the job done.

How/where did you get the black? I looked everywhere, but not found, settled for titanium instead.

Wah, everyone selling off their AVRs ar? Did I start this?

You're right Mpyw, I'm so bored now. My home is so quiet and feels so empty without my AVR.

I already knew about the new models. The speaker posts for 1900 still too close to each other, one of the trouble for me when I use bare wires. The rated power for Yamaha always falls apart in real world tests. This and many others are not big issue, but they helped me make my decision.

Sorry guys, I've turned to the darkside.

PS: The remotes for the new models is a total make over. I like it, nice job Yamaha.

You can audition it at Desa HT bro.

Your new babies coming soon s6xs9x! Post some pics when they arrive. And feel free to ask us any question about the Yamahas.

Could be.

I think I have to pass this year's sale.

Why not 863? Was it at the clearance sale?

Congrats Ronaldjoe.

BTW, I didn't go to the Yamaha sales. Too busy with my family.

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

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...

That's well said Kiam. But only set your speakers to large if it can handle frequencly as low as 30Hz. If not, it could hurt the speakers.

If you connect to other than the sub pre-out, what your sub is receiving is only the frequencies intended for the original speakers, and usually these channels won't go as low. And most importantly, you'll not hear anythng from the dedicated LFE track in movies (the .1 in the 5.1 channels).

As most receivers only have subwoofer pre-outs, the subwoofer must be active, meaning it has a built-in amp. It can never drive a passive subwoofer by it's own.

Djdyks, does you mini hi-fi got line in? If yes, you can use it as an amp for your sub. Connect the pre-out to the line in, and the subwoofer to the hi-fi as usual. Turn it on and select the line-in input. Run the auto-calibration again at the 861 again.

This is temporary solution, my advise is to get an active subwoofer quick.

Even if the driver is 6.5" but if it can't handle frequencies as low as 30Hz, I still recommend to set is as small so you can crossover the low frequencies to the sub. When set to large, all the frequency range will be fed to the speakers. This is most important while listening to stereo music (if you use subwoofer, not pure direct).

For 5.1 source, the low frequencies (maybe <80Hz according to THX standards) have already been discretely channeled to the LFE (.1) track by in the studio's mixing room. But you can still set the AVR to crossover low frequencies from the small speakers if the speakers' low frequency roll off is high (maybe 120Hz).

I am. Tomorrow night I should be able do bass management for each speakers. But that can't be discussed in a Yamaha thread.

Learn yourself to forget. Jealousy can lead to hate, hate can lead to greed. The shadow of the dark side, that is.

Why so serious?

3800 and 805 are not in the same league even though they're in the same price range. 3800's match is 875.

Go for audition with same set of speakers. If I were to choose between those 2 (if I like both sounds), I would still choose 805 because of small extra features it has.
