the SR5003 would sound better for music, for movies, a lil soft on LFE but can be tweaked....I hv done a lil tweaking on my SR6003 and it's much better now.

and mind you, the Yamaha x63 series does not pass BTB/WTW, so the PQ details on black scene might not be as good as the Marantz

the Yammy's upscale quality is a tag better than the Maranzt (compared to my old RX-V861)

Compatibility with the Harmony should not be any problem for both ( I am using URC RF20)

Source from AVSForum:
The 663 does not pass data in the 0-15 or 236-255 ranges (BTB & WTW, respectively). I repeat ... there is no intentional program data contained in these ranges for any of broadcast, cable or satellite TV, DVDs, BD or HD-DVDs. All cable and satellite set-top boxes and DVD and BD-HD-DVD players are "limited" (16-235) by default/design.

I've said many, many times and say it again: the entire BTB issue is a red herring!!

Unless you are trying to use a 0-255 ("full") source (being a computer) together with a display capable of and calibrated to 0-255 ("full"), then the RX-V663 will work perfectly, as designed.

But, if you were using a display calibrated to 0-255 ("full"), it then would not be properly setup to work with any standard broadcast, cable or satellite TV, DVD, BD or HD-DVD players.

The correct approach would be to set your computer source to 16-235 ("limited") output and everything would, again, work perfectly.

Anyone can clarify this?
