A little trick id recommend to all new viewers is updating your volume settings, limiting the "max volume" (avoids someone cranking up your system to dangerous levels) and setting an "initial volume" level so your system will always be set at a safe volume level when turning on your receiver. This way you can avoid blowing out your system.
I literally just brought mine home today an setup this evening using my 5.1 system, until I upgrade to the true atmos speakers in a month or so. But maaaan, you saved my LIFE! My YPAO failed an everything was set to default settings, an you helped me sooooo much I feel like I should be paying you haha. This is the exact video I needed just simply going through and explain the basics of each category. Much appreciated 🙏
Yamaha should hire you. New to the home theater world i was so lost and the included instructions are useless. You rock, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thanks for taking the time man! Helps me a lot cause I am a first timer in a Yamaha. Have been using Onkyo for the past 15 years. The entire menu and navigation, terms are so different here.
Highly recommend to set up color keys as dim + and -. This way, you can quickly dim the led panel for movie nights without having to dig in the menu hierarchy.
Thank you for adding the part at the end about having to recalibrate...I was messing with those settings and I couldn't get my front atmos speakers to work at the same time as my back surround...so recalibrating fixed it! wooohoo!
Thank you so much! I couldn't get our Zone 2 to work right and it turns out our setting was wrong. You covered it RIGHT off the bat. 2.25 minutes in and BOOM...we're rockin' out on the outside speakers. Mahalo from Oregon!
Thank you so much!!!!! I want to learn how to set up and control the volume in my 2nd room same music but lower volume. You were fantastic. The guys that sold me the receiver were really transactional. They had no idea how to manipulate adjust or rather how to educate their consumers and they are a high end audio shop. So thank you very much!
FYI - The higher you set the crossover subwoofer the "more" it will work and kick in. If you don't want it to work as much as you stated in your video, set it lower at 80hz or below instead of the 100hz like you have yours set at. In my home system I have my subwoofer crossover set at in the 80 - 60hz range depending what music I'm playing.
How do you cross a subwoofer over on the V6A? I could cross my L+R, C, SR, SL over to their respective crossover points. But the subwoofer doesn't have a crossover setting at least on my V6A? In regards to having to crossover your speakers higher to get the subwoofer output (I guess you're referring to 2ch stereo listening?🤔), I've heard that to get the subwoofer output in 2ch stereo , you'd have to configure your speakers differently from the YPAO settings, i.e FRONT: Large, with EXTRA BASS turned to "ON", meaning you'd have to run your FRONTS "Full range" and EXTRA BASS will bring the subwoofer on. Terrible bass management by Yamaha!!! Now there's extra demand on the Receiver, and added load on the speakers, risking the Receiver's possibility to run hot! This is just weird!!!
This is the first upgrade that I have done to my theater room since I had it built. In the next year I plan to upgrade the projector and blu-ray to 4K ultra.
Awesome video and straight to the point for us users who just want a direct orientation without having to dig through a manual, tracked like a tank brother. Semper Fi
I like the sound of this receiver. It’s “warm” as in not harsh on the loud booms and consistent even at low volumes (with settings suggested). Hope that helps.
I have a Yamaha RX-V473. I just hooked up some new NS-51 speakers. Before that I was running two 30yo stereo speakers and ran the amp at pretty much full volume just to watch tv at a volume that could be heard. I thought the new speakers would be better but I’m still cranking the amp to -16 to watch a a movie and thought it would be blowing the window out the lounge by now. My 30yo speakers sounded better. This is the start of the rabbit hole of set up so thanks for the details. I think I’m probably going to call the guy as I’ve ran out of menu options and none of this makes sense. 😂 I love music, but even my JBL speaker the size of a clock radio is louder and easier to setup. 😂
All your speakers in a home theater setup should be set to "small" in the receiver. Use auto calibration as a starting point to begin fine tuning. If you have crossover frequency knob on your subwoofer, turn it to the max. Do all your calibration on the receiver. If you don't want to go through a long calibration process, set all your crossover frequency to 80hz.
mostly true unless you have some large floor standing units with large woofers already in there.... then you could set those to large and prob get away with no sub(s) My preferred method is large bookshelf spkrs,, a center and rear bookshelf surrounds and 2 subs; all of the speakers are set to SMALL just like you are saying; and that’s for the crossover freqs going to them properly
@toxin7883 True. The problem I have with that is the FRONTS are now FULL RANGE with no ability to set the crossover points as they are bypassed and greyed out on the menu. Doesn't this demand more power from the Receiver and more load on the speakers? What about the possibility of bass frequency overlap between the MAINS and the subwoofer? This is strange bass management by Yamaha. With my Onkyo NR686 I could easily set my 2ch stereo to "MAINS + LFE." And that setting doesn't exist on the yamahas. Weird!
@@Turtleback8024 Are you running just two speakers or a full 5.1/7.1 setup? If it's just a two speaker setup, you would want them running full range..if a sub is present, then you could set a crossover... check the menu where it defines the system first. That has to match what you have before you start tuning... meaning make sure the receiver doesn't think you're running a 5.1 system if it's 2.1.
SUGAREY, you are a champion my friend, what a great walk through of the settings, Yamaha should pay you for doing their job, excellent job, thank you so much. Chjeers
I have a Yamaha TSR-700 with a 7.1 speaker setup. Sound works great when on my Bluray 4k Player, decoding 7.1 ch sound track and all speakers work as they should. When I switch to my NVIDIA Shield and stream 5.1 ch encoded content, the rear speakers get disabled and the left and right presence speakers become the rear speakers. It is absolutely driving me insane on how to fix this. Is there a setting that I need to use ... there many other people that are struggling with this.
Just so others know; I was having a problem where, nothing was working through any of my HDMI’s. The only thing working was my tuner. It was playing music fine. I tried resetting it and changing all HDMI cables to new ones. That didnt help. Then I did a software update. That worked and everything is back to normal.
Semper Fi! Great video. ATMOS I have the speakers to support the RXV6. My question is do you have to select this option in settings or is it automatically playing through the speakers? Thanks..
Oorah! Appreciate your feedback. If the ATMOS speakers were connected to the proper connections it will recognize and set them up during the YPAO setup as “5.1.2”. You can always check during the individual sealer “tone test”.
Nice video. If you choose to set up speakers in zone 2, can you play a different source than what might be playing on the receiver while using the TV. Confused as to whether adding an additional amp is required to push a source (i.e. radio, something over bluetooth like spotify, etc.) to the zone 2 speakers.
Bro, I have a Yamaha RXV673. While setting it up I can’t hear anything through 5.1 setup connected to it. But I connected my chromecast and Apple TV to it and it’s video and sound I am getting in my tv. But not in my 5.1 setup connected to it. Is there way to solve this? My tv doesn’t have any avr connection ports.
as long as you have the receiver connected to your TV using an HDMI cable in the ARC input, the menu will pop up on the screen, just make sure your tv is on and press the "setup" button ob the receiver controller.
I was thinking about this and having second thoughts about updating my old system from 1993...JVC 5.1, until you showed the rundown of the remote and screen setup navigation. Thanks . I just need to pick the AVR now. Looks the Yamaha is very similar to the older system, which works great too.
If you’re used to the 1993 setup and features you’ll really appreciate what you get for the price of this Yamaha. The mic pickup setup is a big jump start to getting things configured.
Hi do you know why my A2A randomly shuts off/ power off no reason sometimes 18 min sometimes 45 min. The sleep mode is off and eco mode is off. Checked all cables. After the auto shut off none of the functions work via remote. It’s pretty much frozen. I have to reboot! Then it works for a while then shuts off. It is a brand new unit a month old Any suggestions?
Thanks, very helpful video. I am having a problem. I can't get the system to use the 2 rear speakers. The speakers seem to be working in the test zone, but I can't get the 2 rear speakers to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your video. We have theRX-V4A though some menu items are different, still helped a lot! I have a question about the backup. After we finished setting up, I went into to backup and it said it was executing backup, but then said backup failed. Tried twice without success. Any ideas?
Thank you. Very straight forward and easy to understand video. I have one question. I have WII that connect to receiver in HDMI 7 plug via Wii to HDMI convertor adaptor. Everything working fine but when I change my scene to WII and click setup menu button on receiver, it does not display on TV screen including turning up/down volume display. Any thought or suggestion for this issue. Thank you in advance.
Try Settings>HDMI Format>Mode 2. Also check your cable and if needed try a different port on the back of the receiver. Thank you for watching the video.
Tthanks for responding to my question a few weeks ago...your suggestion worked..NOW I have another problem - This morning, I turned the yamaha TSR-700 on, then watched some youtube, then we watched TITANIC....but while we were watching the movie, I pressed SET UP..but the settings did NOT appear,, I tried OPTIONS...still nothing! The Yamaha was working last night, even with the headphones plugged in...but I unplugged the headphones this morning... ..nothing... now, keep in mind that the remote control DOES PARTIALLY work.. it will adjust the volume of the sound, I can select STRAIGHT or any of the surround modes.. YET.. I can not see SETUP... do you have any suggestions how to restore the SET UP or OPTIONS? THANKS!
Thanks so much SUGAREY! This helped a lot! One quick question. I am setting the levels on my TSR-700. What volume level should I set the receiver at, when using the test tone to read the tone with a decibel meter? I am only able to achieve 57dB, and not the recommended reference level of 75dB. I am using Klipsch Reference speakers, which should easily be able to handle the load.
What I do is start with the YPAO/RSC configuration. Which then I believe the sweet spot for my TSR-700+Jamo speakers is ~56-60 volume (I change from db). From there I use the test tone and distant to tweak to my personal preference. Hope this helps.
@@sugarey Thanks! I initially ran YPAO. I still wasn't pleased. I did adjust back to dB volume, set to 0dB, and used the level settings. The biggest difference was a surround setting was set to a music hall. I changed to standard. After the changes, it ROCKS! Everything I expected. Paired with Klipsch reference speakers, larger center channel, and front bookshelf speakers, the TSR-700 is a sweet machine!
We have had this receiver for a while now and we can not figure out how to connect our outdoor wired speakers to it and be able to turn them off when we are using the indoor speakers.. is there a way to do this? right now they are either all on or all off. The outdoor ones are also not as loud as the indoor ones.. this unit is not a very user friendly piece of equipment in our opinion..
You should always run the YPAO/RSC setup when you change your room setup. It’s correcting/adjusting for more than distance. It’s also checking the frequency and that changes with things inside the room.
Great video, thanks! So you have your cable box connected to the AV. That means you have to run the AV every time you watch tv? I was going to leave cbl plugged directly to my tv and run audio out of tv to AV via component cbls since I only have 2 hdmi ports on the old tv.
I do run the AV all the time. If you’re ok with running two remotes you could use the power button on TV and AV. So if your power on your TV it won’t turn on your AV kind of action. There’s a little more to it if your interested.
@@sugarey I decided to use a hdmi splitter switch, to switch cable box (source) between my tv and the AV for the occasion there's a program using Dolby I'll want to hear. Thanks for responding! . Weeks later update: I discovered I can play stb/cbl source through AVR while it's turned off (it passes thru). The stb/cbl input must have been selected at AVR power off. I don't need that switch box.
What do you use for the surround mode? I am using the AVR in TV Audio mode using the E-Arc. TV does see the AVR as a Dolby Atmos device just fine. No inputs thru AVR. I want the AVR to be in an Auto decode mode pretty much, just decoding whatever the TV puts out. I sit best to use Straight mode so the AVR does no extra processing, or should i manually set it to Dolby Atmos? Thanks!
Extremely helpful, thanks! I have samsung 4k tv q80T qled connected via eARC. Do I leave the upscaling 4 k in receiver off or.on? I noticed you had it off
thanks for the important info. Do you know if there is a way to turn the receiver off and keep it off until I want to turn it on for a movie? If I turn the receiver off it comes back on as soon as i change a channel.
Hello everyone, Thanks for the great video. Unfortunately my Onkyo 717 is broken. Now I'm looking for something new. Will the RX-V6A or TSR-700 go with my speakers? Will he be able to rock those poorly responding speakers? Kef C 6LCR, 8 ohms, 10-150 W, 90 dB, 65 Hz - 40 kHz Quad 21L2, 6 ohms, 40-200 W, 88 dB, 35 Hz - 28 kHz Wharfedale WH-SR 2, 6 OHMS, 10-120 W, 88 dB, 80 Hz - 20 kHz
Thanks for all of this information. So much to go through initially. Question, I have my cable box, Apple TV, and a PlayStation in first 3 hdmi inputs with the output to the Tv. Upon startup, receiver automatically starts in “TV” mode and I have to change the source to hdmi 1 every time I turn it on. Is there any way I can make the hdmi1 the default startup port? Thanks for your time!
Help! I can't get the setup menu to appear on my TV. i have a LG TV with a Fire Stick installed. When I insert the YPAO the display on the HTR changes and reads please view TV screen. I have used my LG remote to change the inputs to no avail and can't configure the RX-6VA receiver. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I also have the Yamaha 700 w/ 2 Elac 6.2 bookshelf & matching center. 2 Polk bookshelf and 10" sub.My center tweeter doesn't seem to work . Am I doing something wrong ?

Have you checked to make sure your TV and Yamaha are set for “ARC control”? That feature/setting makes you TV leverage ARC to choose the “live” input signal to the Yamaha.
Is there a way to use this receiver just to play music through on four outdoor speakers? If so, would you happen to know how I would wire it up so that all the speakers are playing the same sound....basically mono?
Yes you can use the “zone 2”. If you look at the speaker terminals it’s labeled “extra sp1” or “zone”. Then turn on “party mode” for all the speakers to work. You could try to wire the speakers in parallel like daisy chaining two of them for left and right. Hope this helps.
Your video is by far the best I’ve came across, super helpful. I have a slight problem, I watched a movie today and periodically it would cut off sound but quickly came back, any clues on how to solve that?
I’d do basic cable checking. As in; are they seated properly, not crossing any power cables. If so also check TV for “hdmi enhanced setting” on that input. If still persistent change HDMI mode to mode 2 on the Yamaha. Hope that helps.
Great video really helped me out with setting up my system, I had a question relating to the crossover for the subwoofer. Is there an option within the Yamaha to set the crossover or did you set it on your actual sub? I see some people turn the crossover knob all the way to LFE but I dont know if thats what we should be doing with this receiver, thanks!
I appreciate the comment and glad I could help my friend. If you set the speakers to 80hz for example - your sub will receive signals 80hz and below. I typically match my sub setting to match what the receiver crossover is set at. As a side note I have the volume at 3/4=75% when I use the YPAO/RSC setup. Hope this helps.
Very good Video , explaining important parameters. I have this connected to OPTOMA projector and after some time into playing my HDMI source ROKU 4K , suddenly it freezes and Projector says NO HDMI signal . I hear a CLICK sound in my Receiver before this happens . I have to reboot all machines , at times - Initialize the settings to make things work again . I also see that Receiver stops recognizing the SOURCE ( initialy used to say Roku /Firestick ) when this event happens. Audio though is On through my speakers. Could you please suggest what is going wrong on the settings OR what setting should I put to stop this from happening
thanks for going though every thing to help people like me set my system and explaining what every thing does in the menus Quick question have you come across this receiver shutting off for no reason had mine for a week now done it twice seems to be a common thing on most new entry level av receivers hope you can help john/norwich ,uk
Do you get the message "CHECK SP WIRE" when you turn your receiver back on? If so you might be having some exposed speaker wire strands touching or a stray wire causing the receiver to auto shut off as a safeguard against short circuiting. I had this issue when I set my receiver up, it kept shutting off during the YPAO calibration when it would get to the surround speakers, turns our there were exposed wires, once I cut the wires and restriped the system worked just fine.
I'm planning to buy it.. I read online that eARC has bugs, however, I only need it for dolby atmos movies streaming from Netflix and Amazon prime movies. Will it pass through the signal from my Sony TV x900h to the V6a avr without issues and bugs (Using eARC) ??
Hey Rey, love the video. One of the things I haven't seen is an option to enable Dolby Atmos on surround decoder type. I'm running a 5.1 setup right now so I'm wondering if because I don't have the atmos speakers, it does not give me that option. If you've run with a 7.1 setup before with speakers for height, have you been able to select a "Dolby Atmos" decoder type? Thanks!
Apologize for the delay. Yes at this time if you don't have ATMOS speakers wired it will be "greyed out". You have to choose to run 5.1 ATMOS or 7.1 DTS. I ended up with ATMOS due to more movie watching for me.
@@sugarey , I have a 7.2.2 setup but I can’t find this option at my yamaha receiver . Would you know where to find it in the receiver? Maybe it has a different name… but basically I have 2 Atmos speakers and 2 subwoofers on the floor 15 inches each, along with 7 in-ceiling speakers. Btw, I have different impedance for different speakers… need to see if I can setup impedance individually for each speaker.
Very nice walkthrough of all the menu options. I'm planning to buy this amp so this video will save me a lot of time when I install it. Just a question, do you know if it's possible to have 5.1.2 config with Bi-AMP'ing to the front speakers? Thanks! ;-)
If I recall bi-amping is like a pre-amp where the signal can pass through. If that’s what you want to do yes that should work. Is your goal more front/left-right action? Another option is using Zone 2.
Great video! Is there a way to watch the tv but listen to a record player/airplay/etc instead of hearing the sound from the tv? I like to watch sports muted while listening to music. Thanks!
hello, excellent video, but I have a question: The first is in relation to xbox series x, my rx-v6a already has firmware version 1.53, but in the console configuration the ALL-VRR function appears disabled. what would cause this problem? thank you very much for your videos.
when u did your HDMI labels, where exactly are they supposed to show up?? is it inside the HDMI setting where you label it? (like your xfinity) or is there a way to have the label show up BEFORE you drill into edit the HDMI name? TY Excellent explanation of all the settings on that unit 👍🏻 Seems like a great value entry-level A/V HTR receiver
Hi great video, I also have the yamaha rx- v6a I found I need to have the volume turned up to around 80% to get any sound out of it to enjoy a movie. Any ideas. Thanks
I’m about at ~65 for my preferred sound level. I have small bookshelf speakers. I would think if you had bigger speakers it would take more watt/power to get it to your preferred levels. You could also double check the distance and gains in the settings. Hope this helps.
Thanks!!! This really helpful for someone who doesn't have the experience of adjusting sound and video for optimal use. Q: is there a way to adjust the incremental step of the volume control either for the remote and/or knob on the receiver.
When you say incremental are you looking for smaller “gains” as in; fine tuning volumes? If so no BUT the default incremental are very low gains so default fine tuning has been pretty flexible.
@@sugarey actually I find the gains increments too small (I have to press the volume button so many times to get significant increase in volume) . I was hoping to adjust from 0.5 to bigger steps.
I accidentally hit ENTER or OK in the INITALIZATION box.. apparently this causes loss of all the good set ups...the Yamaha sounds "thin" now.. is there a way to restore the sound ? I TRIED to restore the GOOD sound I had before entering the INITIALIZATION.. but nothing works. Perhaps if I ran the YPAO again.. would that restore the great bass and generally good sound as before? Thanks~
Oh man, great video. Helped tons. Question tho... I see you are running ARC with your TV. So, Bluetooth? Any idea if BT work while ARC is enabled? On my Yamaha (RX685), BT connects to the unit no problem. It will play any audio source.... EXCEPT... when it comes from the TV via ARC. Hair pulling. Have tried a lot of combinations, incl adding a BT transmitter, but no matter how I config things, I cannot get BT working to hear the audio source from the TV, via ARC, to headphones. Ideas? Anyone? Am going nuts...
@sugarey Yay, thank you for your response. Could you explain a little more on what is meant by "AV input to be on Bluetooth"? On my Yamaha, the two Bluetooth settings I have are to receive and send (transmit). Both of these are set to ON. And on the Transmit part, I am always able to have it paired with the BT headphones. And finally, when I select say radio, that always works with the headsets. The moment I switch over to Audio1 which is the TV source, nothing. That is what is so perplexing. I had been thinking that it was the selection of output from the TV side, but I have been thru every possible choice, Dolby, DSP, et etc, and no go. Soooo, if you are able to have your TV push audio to your AV and can have it broadcast to bluetooth devices, if you wouldn't mind.. sending a little more detail on how you get there? I've been hair pulling the last few days. thank you for responding...
Mine connected wirh arc to arc(tv to receiver) and bluetooth works. But i need to push bluetooth button on my controller before listenibg music. Hope it helps
Please help. I have a blueray player connected to my yamaha amp with optic and playing dts. The issue is I cant see any dts confirmation in the av display window? How do I find the info? Ps I havnt got an info button on my remote?
Hello Steve fast forward to 1:18 on this video. I think it’s what you’re looking for. What decoder the AV is interpreting. ruclips.net/video/aMPGfiqoKc0/видео.html
Hello, gret video, thanks for this. Do you know how to factory reset the settings just in case? I tried to go to setting and reset thru the menu, however, it ends with an error, so not sure. I'm currently facing an issue where my tv is no longer receiving the inputs from my devices. I have a roku and blu ray connected to HDMI1 and 2 and neither of them are streaming to the TV. Something is going really bad.
Hey bud how come there’s so many settings on the TSR700 and how do I set my up firing Klipsch speakers to atmos? Do I use the front presence spot on my tsr700 wiring?
Ryan yes use your “front presence” to wire your ATMOS speakers. Then run the YPAO configuration again. There’s a lot of options on the unit because it’s a true AV device to get that pure sound. Most of the users will be very happy with the YPAO only setup. Which is way more advanced compared to a soundbar. But they definitely should start thinking of a “quick or basic” menu then advanced+. Semper Fi!
@@sugarey semper Fi brother, I knew you were a devil dawg! How come Xbox games don’t play in Dolby atmos? Only the Dolby access from Xbox actually says atmos
I’d run the YPAO/RSC setup. The check the distance of the settings. Adjust if needed. For extra boom I’d change any “large” speakers to “small” and adjust the crossover points ~80hz+. Play/adjust to your ear. Since you have to 2 subs I’d try to place 1 in front and 1 close to your sitting area or behind you. My personal placements. Hope this helps.
@@sugarey no, I just purchased the Apple TV . I’ve had issues with my DVD and set top no video working intermittently for two years. I would have to turn the receiver on and off multiple times to get it to display video. .
@@Freddymcknight are you plugging in AppleTV to AV input then using AV out to TVs ARC in? Then TV input should be on ARC HDMI. Then setup AppleTV to be remote of your TV and AV.

Just bought mine to install in new home that I pre-wired for 5.1 set up, might add in future to 7.1 or use for 2 zone. I specifically bought this receiver as I've read you can change the audio outputs for different inputs. Example would be watching tv while listening to music (watching sports or playing video game). Can you explain where you would do this?
Yes I do that often like when I change from watching movies - I have Dolby then when I stream music I use "straight". I do this on the remote. Play with the "straight" button I had to get used to how it works. Try pressing straight or pure direct "twice" that's how it toggles off and on. Hope this helps.
V1.53 firmware was pushed out to me today. Weird thing was, I've had the RX-V6A for a week and it was always showing up to date with V1.48 from the factory but I upgraded to 8k / 48GB/s cables and connected a pair of Polk XT90 Atmos speakers and maybe either from unplugging AC power, switching to 8k cables or by coincidence, turning on the receiver an hour after all the above changes, pressing Setup on the receiver remote a new firmware, V1.53 was available and installed OTA. No info on Yamaha's website about this version, they still show 1.48.
One tip that took me a while to learn is eARC is used for signals like Dobly ATMOS. Regular ARC can support 4K and Dolby 5.1. Best thing about ARC/eARC is you only need one cable to go from your AppleTV to your TV eARC. So basically it uses one cable to send the signal back and forth. Helps a lot with cable management as well. Hope this helps!
@@sugarey Thank you! My system is mainly for 5.1 music. After using the YPAO it just seems like the rears need more juice. I'll try manually going in and changing the levels. Thanks again.
i have the tsr700 and the sub output is almost nonexistant unless i max out the bass settings in the amp which makes the bass sound unnatural and sythesized. how do i fix this?
Sugarey...well done and worthy of a like AND a subscribe. Question. With eARC, is there any reason to keep plugging all of your inputs into the receiver? With the capability of HDMI these days, why not plug blue-ray, PS2, etc, into the TV, then get your audio via eARC to the receiver?
If I could hide all the cables in-wall I would go definitely run all HDMI direct to TV then eARC to receiver purely for video quality. For my current application I run my them through receiver so there’s only one HDMI and power through my cable management rail. Dolby ATMOS requires eARC but sounds like you’re all good my friend.
Having issues with 4K fire stick working consistently when plugged in to AV. When first plugged in HDMI 1 it recognized auto it was fire Tv and even showed as an input selection on tv. Now tv only shows option to select HDMI 2 (my ARC port to receiver) and have to change receiver to the input that has Fire tv. Not sure if has to do with adding a flexible HDMI adapter so I could push back the receiver further as the fire stick was hitting against wall when directly plugged in or if setting on tv that I need to update for HDMI control of connected devices. Anybody else have similar issues? I have a 2018 LG OLED tv.
Great video. No sponsored ads, no talking about some other video. You hit record and jumped into it! Thanks!

Glad to hear my friend!
Thank you so much! I couldn't get our Zone 2 to work right and it turns out our setting was wrong. You covered it RIGHT off the bat. 2.25 minutes in and BOOM...we're rockin' out on the outside speakers. Mahalo from Oregon!
Glad the video helped. Aloha bruddah!
Thank you so much!!!!!
I want to learn how to set up and control the volume in my 2nd room same music but lower volume. You were fantastic. The guys that sold me the receiver were really transactional. They had no idea how to manipulate adjust or rather how to educate their consumers and they are a high end audio shop.
So thank you very much!
Just got mine delivered yesterday and setting it up today. Thanks for the run through!
FYI - The higher you set the crossover subwoofer the "more" it will work and kick in. If you don't want it to work as much as you stated in your video, set it lower at 80hz or below instead of the 100hz like you have yours set at. In my home system I have my subwoofer crossover set at in the 80 - 60hz range depending what music I'm playing.
How do you cross a subwoofer over on the V6A? I could cross my L+R, C, SR, SL over to their respective crossover points. But the subwoofer doesn't have a crossover setting at least on my V6A? In regards to having to crossover your speakers higher to get the subwoofer output (I guess you're referring to 2ch stereo listening?🤔), I've heard that to get the subwoofer output in 2ch stereo , you'd have to configure your speakers differently from the YPAO settings, i.e FRONT: Large, with EXTRA BASS turned to "ON", meaning you'd have to run your FRONTS "Full range" and EXTRA BASS will bring the subwoofer on. Terrible bass management by Yamaha!!! Now there's extra demand on the Receiver, and added load on the speakers, risking the Receiver's possibility to run hot! This is just weird!!!
This is the first upgrade that I have done to my theater room since I had it built. In the next year I plan to upgrade the projector and blu-ray to 4K ultra.
Awesome video! Very informative. I'll be setting up my TSR-700 this weekend and now I'm even more excited.
How's it been so far? What do you have it hooked up to?
I got mine this week but the theatre room is still under construction. Thinking of pairing it with the svs prime satellite and sub package
Fan-tastic!! I just bought mines and I had no idea what the hell was going on. Your tips are lifesaver!!!!
Awesome video and straight to the point for us users who just want a direct orientation without having to dig through a manual, tracked like a tank brother.

Appreciate the feedback and glad it helped brother! Ooorah!
I like the fact you went through everything. I would like to hear an overall opinion on what you think about the system.
I like the sound of this receiver. It’s “warm” as in not harsh on the loud booms and consistent even at low volumes (with settings suggested). Hope that helps.
I have a Yamaha RX-V473. I just hooked up some new NS-51 speakers. Before that I was running two 30yo stereo speakers and ran the amp at pretty much full volume just to watch tv at a volume that could be heard.
I thought the new speakers would be better but I’m still cranking the amp to -16 to watch a a movie and thought it would be blowing the window out the lounge by now. My 30yo speakers sounded better.
This is the start of the rabbit hole of set up so thanks for the details.
I think I’m probably going to call the guy as I’ve ran out of menu options and none of this makes sense. 😂 I love music, but even my JBL speaker the size of a clock radio is louder and easier to setup. 😂
All your speakers in a home theater setup should be set to "small" in the receiver. Use auto calibration as a starting point to begin fine tuning. If you have crossover frequency knob on your subwoofer, turn it to the max. Do all your calibration on the receiver. If you don't want to go through a long calibration process, set all your crossover frequency to 80hz.
mostly true unless you have some large floor standing units with large woofers already in there.... then you could set those to large and prob get away with no sub(s)
My preferred method is large bookshelf spkrs,, a center and rear bookshelf surrounds and 2 subs; all of the speakers are set to SMALL just like you are saying; and that’s for the crossover freqs going to them properly
@@av8rbri473to do that you have to select extra bass otherwise the sub will not come on
@toxin7883 True. The problem I have with that is the FRONTS are now FULL RANGE with no ability to set the crossover points as they are bypassed and greyed out on the menu. Doesn't this demand more power from the Receiver and more load on the speakers? What about the possibility of bass frequency overlap between the MAINS and the subwoofer? This is strange bass management by Yamaha. With my Onkyo NR686 I could easily set my 2ch stereo to "MAINS + LFE." And that setting doesn't exist on the yamahas. Weird!
@@Turtleback8024 correct. I always set too small when running a sub.
@@Turtleback8024 Are you running just two speakers or a full 5.1/7.1 setup? If it's just a two speaker setup, you would want them running full range..if a sub is present, then you could set a crossover... check the menu where it defines the system first. That has to match what you have before you start tuning... meaning make sure the receiver doesn't think you're running a 5.1 system if it's 2.1.
Is the Center Spread function still available with the Dolby Surround decoder in the current firmware?
Thank you so much I have Yamaha rxv6a I had nothing but problems until I watched your video I couldn’t even login to my network
Glad the video helped!
SUGAREY, you are a champion my friend, what a great walk through of the settings, Yamaha should pay you for doing their job, excellent job, thank you so much. Chjeers
Thank you for the kind works my friend.
Wow, 3 year old video and I am actually on a different receiver, but the video was a good lament term, no B.S. info. Thanks for the help.
first video so simple to understand. Thank You for the Video!!
I have a Yamaha TSR-700 with a 7.1 speaker setup. Sound works great when on my Bluray 4k Player, decoding 7.1 ch sound track and all speakers work as they should. When I switch to my NVIDIA Shield and stream 5.1 ch encoded content, the rear speakers get disabled and the left and right presence speakers become the rear speakers. It is absolutely driving me insane on how to fix this. Is there a setting that I need to use ... there many other people that are struggling with this.
Just so others know; I was having a problem where, nothing was working through any of my HDMI’s. The only thing working was my tuner. It was playing music fine. I tried resetting it and changing all HDMI cables to new ones. That didnt help. Then I did a software update. That worked and everything is back to normal.
Thank you Mr. SugaRey's with your settings demo it's a big help for me for setting up of my Yamaha Rx V6a when my orderd hdmi delivered.❤👍
Just set mine up and this was extremely helpful. Better than trying to use the manual.
Semper Fi! Great video. ATMOS I have the speakers to support the RXV6. My question is do you have to select this option in settings or is it automatically playing through the speakers? Thanks..
Oorah! Appreciate your feedback. If the ATMOS speakers were connected to the proper connections it will recognize and set them up during the YPAO setup as “5.1.2”. You can always check during the individual sealer “tone test”.
Nice video. If you choose to set up speakers in zone 2, can you play a different source than what might be playing on the receiver while using the TV. Confused as to whether adding an additional amp is required to push a source (i.e. radio, something over bluetooth like spotify, etc.) to the zone 2 speakers.
It’s meant more for using the same source. You can change the volume though.
Great video I can’t find part 2 ! Any help?
Bro, I have a Yamaha RXV673. While setting it up I can’t hear anything through 5.1 setup connected to it. But I connected my chromecast and Apple TV to it and it’s video and sound I am getting in my tv. But not in my 5.1 setup connected to it. Is there way to solve this? My tv doesn’t have any avr connection ports.
Please, how how did you get the menu on TV screen?
as long as you have the receiver connected to your TV using an HDMI cable in the ARC input, the menu will pop up on the screen, just make sure your tv is on and press the "setup" button ob the receiver controller.
I was thinking about this and having second thoughts about updating my old system from 1993...JVC 5.1, until you showed the rundown of the remote and screen setup navigation. Thanks . I just need to pick the AVR now. Looks the Yamaha is very similar to the older system, which works great too.
If you’re used to the 1993 setup and features you’ll really appreciate what you get for the price of this Yamaha.
The mic pickup setup is a big jump start to getting things configured.
Thank you for this video, so helpful!
Hi do you know why my A2A randomly shuts off/ power off no reason sometimes 18 min sometimes 45 min. The sleep mode is off and eco mode is off. Checked all cables.
After the auto shut off none of the functions work via remote. It’s pretty much frozen. I have to reboot! Then it works for a while then shuts off. It is a brand new unit a month old
Any suggestions?
Thanks, very helpful video. I am having a problem. I can't get the system to use the 2 rear speakers. The speakers seem to be working in the test zone, but I can't get the 2 rear speakers to work. Any suggestions?
Really helpful manage to sort my settings and now have a better understanding thanks.
Thanks for your video. We have theRX-V4A though some menu items are different, still helped a lot! I have a question about the backup. After we finished setting up, I went into to backup and it said it was executing backup, but then said backup failed. Tried twice without success. Any ideas?
Thank you. Very straight forward and easy to understand video. I have one question. I have WII that connect to receiver in HDMI 7 plug via Wii to HDMI convertor adaptor. Everything working fine but when I change my scene to WII and click setup menu button on receiver, it does not display on TV screen including turning up/down volume display. Any thought or suggestion for this issue. Thank you in advance.
Try Settings>HDMI Format>Mode 2. Also check your cable and if needed try a different port on the back of the receiver. Thank you for watching the video.
I have use web interface setup to correct that and now is working fine. Thank you for your response.
Congratulations on the video. Perfect!
Tthanks for responding to my question a few weeks ago...your suggestion worked..NOW I have another problem - This morning, I turned the yamaha TSR-700 on, then watched some youtube, then we watched TITANIC....but while we were watching the movie, I pressed SET UP..but the settings did NOT appear,, I tried OPTIONS...still nothing! The Yamaha was working last night, even with the headphones plugged in...but I unplugged the headphones this morning... ..nothing... now, keep in mind that the remote control DOES PARTIALLY work.. it will adjust the volume of the sound, I can select STRAIGHT or any of the surround modes.. YET.. I can not see SETUP... do you have any suggestions how to restore the SET UP or OPTIONS? THANKS!
Thanks so much SUGAREY! This helped a lot! One quick question. I am setting the levels on my TSR-700. What volume level should I set the receiver at, when using the test tone to read the tone with a decibel meter? I am only able to achieve 57dB, and not the recommended reference level of 75dB. I am using Klipsch Reference speakers, which should easily be able to handle the load.
What I do is start with the YPAO/RSC configuration. Which then I believe the sweet spot for my TSR-700+Jamo speakers is ~56-60 volume (I change from db). From there I use the test tone and distant to tweak to my personal preference. Hope this helps.
@@sugarey Thanks! I initially ran YPAO. I still wasn't pleased. I did adjust back to dB volume, set to 0dB, and used the level settings. The biggest difference was a surround setting was set to a music hall. I changed to standard. After the changes, it ROCKS! Everything I expected. Paired with Klipsch reference speakers, larger center channel, and front bookshelf speakers, the TSR-700 is a sweet machine!
@@johnnybolton6524 p
We have had this receiver for a while now and we can not figure out how to connect our outdoor wired speakers to it and be able to turn them off when we are using the indoor speakers.. is there a way to do this? right now they are either all on or all off. The outdoor ones are also not as loud as the indoor ones.. this unit is not a very user friendly piece of equipment in our opinion..
You should be able to do that with the zone 2 setup and turn outdoor on and off with “party mode”
Pl suggest YAPO results is accurate in room with furniture occupied. I m confused in case of empty roon its ok. Pl reply
You should always run the YPAO/RSC setup when you change your room setup. It’s correcting/adjusting for more than distance. It’s also checking the frequency and that changes with things inside the room.
Great video, thanks! So you have your cable box connected to the AV. That means you have to run the AV every time you watch tv? I was going to leave cbl plugged directly to my tv and run audio out of tv to AV via component cbls since I only have 2 hdmi ports on the old tv.
I do run the AV all the time. If you’re ok with running two remotes you could use the power button on TV and AV. So if your power on your TV it won’t turn on your AV kind of action. There’s a little more to it if your interested.
@@sugarey I decided to use a hdmi splitter switch, to switch cable box (source) between my tv and the AV for the occasion there's a program using Dolby I'll want to hear. Thanks for responding!
.
Weeks later update: I discovered I can play stb/cbl source through AVR while it's turned off (it passes thru). The stb/cbl input must have been selected at AVR power off. I don't need that switch box.
Great advice thank you for helping me to set up this fantastic system 👍🏻👍🏻
What do you use for the surround mode? I am using the AVR in TV Audio mode using the E-Arc. TV does see the AVR as a Dolby Atmos device just fine. No inputs thru AVR. I want the AVR to be in an Auto decode mode pretty much, just decoding whatever the TV puts out. I sit best to use Straight mode so the AVR does no extra processing, or should i manually set it to Dolby Atmos? Thanks!
Extremely helpful, thanks! I have samsung 4k tv q80T qled connected via eARC. Do I leave the upscaling 4 k in receiver off or.on? I noticed you had it off
I’d keep it off. I think your QLED will have better upscaling.
Do you know if I can add wireless speaker to existing 5.1 wired speakers setup? Thanks!
Hello I just have a question for Tsr-700 how come I have to go all the way the volume up to 65 to able to hear all the speakers. Please advise thanks
Hi, this unit have some cooler inside for temperature treatment?
thanks for the important info. Do you know if there is a way to turn the receiver off and keep it off until I want to turn it on for a movie? If I turn the receiver off it comes back on as soon as i change a channel.
Thank you for the nice comment.
Is your source for the movie the TV or something else like a AppleTV/Roku etc?
Hello everyone,
Thanks for the great video. Unfortunately my Onkyo 717 is broken.
Now I'm looking for something new. Will the RX-V6A or TSR-700 go with my speakers? Will he be able to rock those poorly responding speakers?
Kef C 6LCR, 8 ohms, 10-150 W, 90 dB, 65 Hz - 40 kHz

Huge help! Yamaha needs to hire this guy to write a proper manual for this thing.
Thank you for the comment David. Glad the video helped.
Thank you very much for the walk through, Great Job.!!
I tried to do a backup on the TSR-700 and got a error message ? My current Firmware is 1.53 !
Thanks for all of this information. So much to go through initially. Question, I have my cable box, Apple TV, and a PlayStation in first 3 hdmi inputs with the output to the Tv. Upon startup, receiver automatically starts in “TV” mode and I have to change the source to hdmi 1 every time I turn it on. Is there any way I can make the hdmi1 the default startup port? Thanks for your time!
Help! I can't get the setup menu to appear on my TV. i have a LG TV with a Fire Stick installed. When I insert the YPAO the display on the HTR changes and reads please view TV screen. I have used my LG remote to change the inputs to no avail and can't configure the RX-6VA receiver. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hello - are you using HDMI out of your AV to the TVs ARC connection then viewing the “input”?
What a great video , good job man 👏 🤟 no BS , straight to the point
I also have the Yamaha 700 w/ 2 Elac 6.2 bookshelf & matching center. 2 Polk bookshelf and 10" sub.My center tweeter doesn't seem to work . Am I doing something wrong ?
I need to know what kind of TV this machine is compatible with? It's not working with my Samsung.
Have this receiver hooked up with an apple tv on hdmi 2 an lg oled tv on hdmi 2 which is the arc have a harmony elite remote set an activi tu to watch apple tv when it turns on the receiver switches to tv input instead of apple tv it will go back and forth and then stay on tv and it won't switch automatic to hdmi 2 which is what j have set up in the activity and I'm not sure why I don't use any of the tv apps i did turn the tv input on receiver to skip but it still switches to it should I turn off arc on receiver i don't know what to do any help great appreciated.
Have you checked to make sure your TV and Yamaha are set for “ARC control”? That feature/setting makes you TV leverage ARC to choose the “live” input signal to the Yamaha.
I’m not able to get the setup menu to show up. Pressing the set up button nothing nothing for some reason. Any help?
Is there a way to use this receiver just to play music through on four outdoor speakers? If so, would you happen to know how I would wire it up so that all the speakers are playing the same sound....basically mono?
Yes you can use the “zone 2”. If you look at the speaker terminals it’s labeled “extra sp1” or “zone”. Then turn on “party mode” for all the speakers to work. You could try to wire the speakers in parallel like daisy chaining two of them for left and right. Hope this helps.
Your video is by far the best I’ve came across, super helpful. I have a slight problem, I watched a movie today and periodically it would cut off sound but quickly came back, any clues on how to solve that?
I’d do basic cable checking. As in; are they seated properly, not crossing any power cables. If so also check TV for “hdmi enhanced setting” on that input. If still persistent change HDMI mode to mode 2 on the Yamaha. Hope that helps.
Great video really helped me out with setting up my system, I had a question relating to the crossover for the subwoofer. Is there an option within the Yamaha to set the crossover or did you set it on your actual sub? I see some people turn the crossover knob all the way to LFE but I dont know if thats what we should be doing with this receiver, thanks!
I appreciate the comment and glad I could help my friend.
If you set the speakers to 80hz for example - your sub will receive signals 80hz and below. I typically match my sub setting to match what the receiver crossover is set at. As a side note I have the volume at 3/4=75% when I use the YPAO/RSC setup.
Hope this helps.
@@sugarey Thank you!
Very good Video , explaining important parameters. I have this connected to OPTOMA projector and after some time into playing my HDMI source ROKU 4K , suddenly it freezes and Projector says NO HDMI signal . I hear a CLICK sound in my Receiver before this happens . I have to reboot all machines , at times - Initialize the settings to make things work again . I also see that Receiver stops recognizing the SOURCE ( initialy used to say Roku /Firestick ) when this event happens. Audio though is On through my speakers. Could you please suggest what is going wrong on the settings OR what setting should I put to stop this from happening
Apologize for the delayed response. Have you tried to have your projector accept "enhanced" HDMI?
Great video. Explains stuff very good.
So im using a benq projector, and only have firestick, and 4k dvd pkayer. My projector doesnt have arc. Do i turn arc off or still keep it on?
I’d run all source HDMi inputs to receiver then one to projector HDMI
@@sugarey and keep arc turned on, on the avr? Or turn it off?
thanks for going though every thing to help people like me set my system and explaining what every thing does in the menus
Quick question have you come across this receiver shutting off for no reason had mine for a week now done it twice seems to be a common thing on most new entry level av receivers hope you can help
john/norwich ,uk
Mine hasn’t cut off but I’d check if you have the latest firmware and check the plug is fully seated
Do you get the message "CHECK SP WIRE" when you turn your receiver back on? If so you might be having some exposed speaker wire strands touching or a stray wire causing the receiver to auto shut off as a safeguard against short circuiting. I had this issue when I set my receiver up, it kept shutting off during the YPAO calibration when it would get to the surround speakers, turns our there were exposed wires, once I cut the wires and restriped the system worked just fine.
I'm planning to buy it.. I read online that eARC has bugs, however, I only need it for dolby atmos movies streaming from Netflix and Amazon prime movies. Will it pass through the signal from my Sony TV x900h to the V6a avr without issues and bugs (Using eARC) ??
Hey Rey, love the video. One of the things I haven't seen is an option to enable Dolby Atmos on surround decoder type. I'm running a 5.1 setup right now so I'm wondering if because I don't have the atmos speakers, it does not give me that option. If you've run with a 7.1 setup before with speakers for height, have you been able to select a "Dolby Atmos" decoder type? Thanks!
Apologize for the delay. Yes at this time if you don't have ATMOS speakers wired it will be "greyed out". You have to choose to run 5.1 ATMOS or 7.1 DTS. I ended up with ATMOS due to more movie watching for me.
@@sugarey , I have a 7.2.2 setup but I can’t find this option at my yamaha receiver . Would you know where to find it in the receiver? Maybe it has a different name… but basically I have 2 Atmos speakers and 2 subwoofers on the floor 15 inches each, along with 7 in-ceiling speakers. Btw, I have different impedance for different speakers… need to see if I can setup impedance individually for each speaker.
Very nice walkthrough of all the menu options. I'm planning to buy this amp so this video will save me a lot of time when I install it. Just a question, do you know if it's possible to have 5.1.2 config with Bi-AMP'ing to the front speakers? Thanks! ;-)
If I recall bi-amping is like a pre-amp where the signal can pass through. If that’s what you want to do yes that should work.
Is your goal more front/left-right action?
Another option is using Zone 2.
Great video! Is there a way to watch the tv but listen to a record player/airplay/etc instead of hearing the sound from the tv? I like to watch sports muted while listening to music. Thanks!
If you have source to AV then TV you could just change TV to internal speaker during the game(s). Then set it back to external. Hope that helps.
Looks like you've had this system now for about a year, tell me how it's performed over the year?
hello, excellent video, but I have a question:
The first is in relation to xbox series x, my rx-v6a already has firmware version 1.53, but in the console configuration the ALL-VRR function appears disabled. what would cause this problem?

when u did your HDMI labels, where exactly are they supposed to show up?? is it inside the HDMI setting where you label it? (like your xfinity) or is there a way to have the label show up BEFORE you drill into edit the HDMI name? TY
Excellent explanation of all the settings on that unit 👍🏻 Seems like a great value entry-level A/V HTR receiver
Hi great video, I also have the yamaha rx- v6a I found I need to have the volume turned up to around 80% to get any sound out of it to enjoy a movie. Any ideas. Thanks
I’m about at ~65 for my preferred sound level. I have small bookshelf speakers. I would think if you had bigger speakers it would take more watt/power to get it to your preferred levels. You could also double check the distance and gains in the settings. Hope this helps.
Hi ya I have paradigm bookshelf speakers I'm going to go through the setup agian and maybe make some changes
@@mikemorris3559 always good to do that. I’d take some pictures of the distance and gains/volumes settings before the YPAO/RSC setup for reference.
Thanks!!! This really helpful for someone who doesn't have the experience of adjusting sound and video for optimal use.
Q: is there a way to adjust the incremental step of the volume control either for the remote and/or knob on the receiver.
When you say incremental are you looking for smaller “gains” as in; fine tuning volumes? If so no BUT the default incremental are very low gains so default fine tuning has been pretty flexible.
@@sugarey actually I find the gains increments too small (I have to press the volume button so many times to get significant increase in volume) . I was hoping to adjust from 0.5 to bigger steps.
I accidentally hit ENTER or OK in the INITALIZATION box.. apparently this causes loss of all the good set ups...the Yamaha sounds "thin" now.. is there a way to restore the sound ? I TRIED to restore the GOOD sound I had before entering the INITIALIZATION.. but nothing works. Perhaps if I ran the YPAO again.. would that restore the great bass and generally good sound as before? Thanks~
Yes you’ll need to run the YPAO again. Initializing resets like out of the box. You probably already fixed it. Sorry for the delayed response.
How to make the display light only the letters? Because mine turns on the backlight too and I think it's ugly.
Oh man, great video. Helped tons. Question tho... I see you are running ARC with your TV. So, Bluetooth? Any idea if BT work while ARC is enabled? On my Yamaha (RX685), BT connects to the unit no problem. It will play any audio source.... EXCEPT... when it comes from the TV via ARC.
Hair pulling. Have tried a lot of combinations, incl adding a BT transmitter, but no matter how I config things, I cannot get BT working to hear the audio source from the TV, via ARC, to headphones.
Ideas? Anyone? Am going nuts...
On my unit I need the AV input to be on Bluetooth. Do you have the AV on Bluetooth input?
@sugarey Yay, thank you for your response. Could you explain a little more on what is meant by "AV input to be on Bluetooth"? On my Yamaha, the two Bluetooth settings I have are to receive and send (transmit). Both of these are set to ON. And on the Transmit part, I am always able to have it paired with the BT headphones. And finally, when I select say radio, that always works with the headsets.
The moment I switch over to Audio1 which is the TV source, nothing. That is what is so perplexing. I had been thinking that it was the selection of output from the TV side, but I have been thru every possible choice, Dolby, DSP, et etc, and no go.
Soooo, if you are able to have your TV push audio to your AV and can have it broadcast to bluetooth devices, if you wouldn't mind.. sending a little more detail on how you get there? I've been hair pulling the last few days. thank you for responding...
Mine connected wirh arc to arc(tv to receiver) and bluetooth works. But i need to push bluetooth button on my controller before listenibg music. Hope it helps

Hey bud how come there’s so many settings on the TSR700 and how do I set my up firing Klipsch speakers to atmos? Do I use the front presence spot on my tsr700 wiring?
Ryan yes use your “front presence” to wire your ATMOS speakers. Then run the YPAO configuration again. There’s a lot of options on the unit because it’s a true AV device to get that pure sound. Most of the users will be very happy with the YPAO only setup. Which is way more advanced compared to a soundbar. But they definitely should start thinking of a “quick or basic” menu then advanced+.

I’d run the YPAO/RSC setup. The check the distance of the settings. Adjust if needed. For extra boom I’d change any “large” speakers to “small” and adjust the crossover points ~80hz+. Play/adjust to your ear.

Just bought mine to install in new home that I pre-wired for 5.1 set up, might add in future to 7.1 or use for 2 zone. I specifically bought this receiver as I've read you can change the audio outputs for different inputs. Example would be watching tv while listening to music (watching sports or playing video game). Can you explain where you would do this?
Yes I do that often like when I change from watching movies - I have Dolby then when I stream music I use "straight". I do this on the remote. Play with the "straight" button I had to get used to how it works. Try pressing straight or pure direct "twice" that's how it toggles off and on. Hope this helps.
While listening to Bluetooth/airplay click option on the remote -> video out -> select the hdmi the tv is plugged into
How should I have it connected to my TV to access the setup menu? I’m connected via optical cable but not able to access the menu
Hdmi. (Arc/earc) to receiver arc hdmi.
V1.53 firmware was pushed out to me today. Weird thing was, I've had the RX-V6A for a week and it was always showing up to date with V1.48 from the factory but I upgraded to 8k / 48GB/s cables and connected a pair of Polk XT90 Atmos speakers and maybe either from unplugging AC power, switching to 8k cables or by coincidence, turning on the receiver an hour after all the above changes, pressing Setup on the receiver remote a new firmware, V1.53 was available and installed OTA. No info on Yamaha's website about this version, they still show 1.48.
Did you try updating with USB many report over the air doesn't work well
Can you explain how Earc works with an Apple TV 4k and this receiver? Does the Earc signals get pushed from the TV? Thanks
One tip that took me a while to learn is eARC is used for signals like Dobly ATMOS. Regular ARC can support 4K and Dolby 5.1. Best thing about ARC/eARC is you only need one cable to go from your AppleTV to your TV eARC. So basically it uses one cable to send the signal back and forth. Helps a lot with cable management as well. Hope this helps!
I would like to boost the rear speakers a bit. How do I do that? Go to the levels and add a couple of db?
Yes that’s what I would do. I typically make a big adjustment first then dial it down. Keep watching the same scene for the testing.
@@sugarey Thank you! My system is mainly for 5.1 music. After using the YPAO it just seems like the rears need more juice. I'll try manually going in and changing the levels. Thanks again.
How can i set up all speakers 7 of them (not the subs) at the same volume
i have the tsr700 and the sub output is almost nonexistant unless i max out the bass settings in the amp which makes the bass sound unnatural and sythesized. how do i fix this?
Sugarey...well done and worthy of a like AND a subscribe. Question. With eARC, is there any reason to keep plugging all of your inputs into the receiver? With the capability of HDMI these days, why not plug blue-ray, PS2, etc, into the TV, then get your audio via eARC to the receiver?
If I could hide all the cables in-wall I would go definitely run all HDMI direct to TV then eARC to receiver purely for video quality.
For my current application I run my them through receiver so there’s only one HDMI and power through my cable management rail. Dolby ATMOS requires eARC but sounds like you’re all good my friend.
Having issues with 4K fire stick working consistently when plugged in to AV. When first plugged in HDMI 1 it recognized auto it was fire Tv and even showed as an input selection on tv. Now tv only shows option to select HDMI 2 (my ARC port to receiver) and have to change receiver to the input that has Fire tv. Not sure if has to do with adding a flexible HDMI adapter so I could push back the receiver further as the fire stick was hitting against wall when directly plugged in or if setting on tv that I need to update for HDMI control of connected devices. Anybody else have similar issues? I have a 2018 LG OLED tv.
I’ve seen that happen. Just in case, you can manually rename it too.
