so lets say rxv1800 is rm3600 and rxv663 is 2k
which will you go for and why?
*
Heck I will go with 663. Why?
1) I can use the extra money for another set of speaker to expand my system from 5.1 to 7.1 or get PS3 as Bluray player
2) Like 1800, 663 also support all HD audio format and comes with HDMI 1.3 for half the price
3) 663 fascia is about the same with my 461 so my wife wont notice the change laugh.gif

Didn't managed to get the price down..LOL. Dunno what made me buy it.. I guess I was bored sick while installing those damn software in UMMC Server room.

Anyway, please tell me if I doing this correctly.

In my PS3, I go into BD settings and set it to Linear PCM.

While playing the movie, the amp says PCM but the Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD indicators do not lit up. If I look at the info on the PS3, it does show Dolby True HD..

Thanks!!

BTW, the remote control is so butt ugly. Its so FAT!!

Dude what version your PS3? I want to get the 40G one but the salesperson can't answer my question whether can update to latest firmware or not doh.gif

^ Huh? Of course u can update the PS3 firmware. Mine's the 80Gb one..bought it many moons ago.
I suggest u don't buy from that retailer. I hate it when ppl try to beat around the bush.

Yeah I know what you meant but his price of RM1300 is so tempting drool.gif
Can PS3 pass through HD stream and let external HD decoder do the job?

Which one of the Yamahas can do upscaling?

Why do you want your amp to upscale when your dvd player can already do that? Is is better?

I just got myself a Yamaha RX-V863 last week together with a set of Yamaha speakers (NS-555, NS-C444, NS-333). So far its sounds really good and definitely much better than my Logitech Z-5500 that I was using for HT for quite a while now.

Got my 663 today from Legend SS2. The price has drop a bit. Titanium color just like my previous 461. This thing is a lot bigger than 461. The height and depth is much more but same width.

1st impression sq wise shocking.gif never regret buying.

Suddenly my 5.1 yammy speakers sounded like they worth much more than they actually are. I thought my center speaker is lousy but now dialog is so clear even at lower volume. I just use basic setting, set speaker to 6 ohm, turn off the eq than pop in Cars DVD into my Pioneer and send every bits thru hdmi. Pheww sweat.gif took just 5 mins laugh.gif no sweat tongue.gif

To put it short...sweeett laugh.gif I love it wub.gif

Now need to study the manual, test CD, test straight mode, direct mode, ipod, 17 dsp mode, bla bla sweat.gif

Not even 1 day already itchy to get another 2 speakers for back surround laugh.gif

If you thinking of buying 663, dont hold ur horses. Just go get it thumbup.gif
