Great video. No sponsored ads, no talking about some other video. You hit record and jumped into it! Thanks!
first guy that actually goes through the receiver's menu, not like the other plebs on youtube! well done! :D
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.
learned this the hard way
@@eazie2003 how I do dis??
@@eazie2003 I also learned the hard way. Scared the sh!t out of every creature in the house!
How do I get this on my TV
My 7 year old granddaughter learned the hard way!
As a complete newbie learning the trade this video was extremely helpful to me. Thankyou
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.
Great job
I don't really notice the display because it's so small
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!
Glad to hear my friend!
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!!!
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!
Just got mine delivered yesterday and setting it up today. Thanks for the run through!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
Appreciate the feedback and glad it helped brother! Ooorah!
Fan-tastic!! I just bought mines and I had no idea what the hell was going on. Your tips are lifesaver!!!!
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
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”.
Is the Center Spread function still available with the Dolby Surround decoder in the current firmware?
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!
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.❤👍
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.
Thank you for this video, so helpful!
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...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.
Hi, this unit have some cooler inside for temperature treatment?
first video so simple to understand. Thank You for the Video!!
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.
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.
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.
What a great video , good job man 👏 🤟 no BS , straight to the point
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?
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 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
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!
Great video I can’t find part 2 ! Any help?
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.
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) ??
Congratulations on the video. Perfect!
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.
Looks like you've had this system now for about a year, tell me how it's performed over the year?
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.
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 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!
How are you able to use so many inputs while ARC still works? If I put more than one input in the receiver, it will NOT play sound through HDMI arc. There is a ton of information on this online as well. Lots of people having issues with the TSR-700
How did you cable your sources?
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?
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.
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?
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”
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.
I just got mine and couldn’t get my directv to display. Turns out my firmware was old. Updating it to 1.31 fixed it.
Update: I returned it. It constantly disconnects with my directv box. I searched online. apparently there’s issues with 4K signal on the newer models. I’m just going to get the Denon S750H. It’s older but from reviews no issues with my set up
Do you know if I can add wireless speaker to existing 5.1 wired speakers setup? 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.
Really helpful manage to sort my settings and now have a better understanding thanks.
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!
I need to know what kind of TV this machine is compatible with? It's not working with my Samsung.
Thank you very much for the walk through, Great Job.!!
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.
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.
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?

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
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.
Great video. Explains stuff very good.
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.
Thank you so much! Well done. This is so informative to me. You are the only one on line showing this. Thanks again buddy.
Just set mine up and this was extremely helpful. Better than trying to use the manual.
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.
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.
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.
If you fast forward the video to 19:15 I highlight how to re-initialize the AV. If not run the YPA0/RSC setup again. Hope that helps.
Hey sugarey which Yamaha app do you recommend for my Yamaha av rx6va the one inIoaded from play store does no seem to work after I added the IP address ? I’ve tried everything?
Very helpful, got me lots of details about what I a, not doing right with my just-arrived unit.
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.
First off, thank you for the video. I heard you mention something about losing your subwoofer. I'm having trouble with my subwoofer, I can barely hear it..what did you do for yours?
You are welcome. I lost it switching the 7.1 vs 5.1.2 configuration settings. I basically redid the YPAO/RSC process. Hope that helps.
Forgot to mention to double check all wires/cables are fully plugged in/seated, have good contact (especially if 3rd party adapter) and good continuity. Plus double check to have the sub at 3/4 volume during YPAO/RAC configuration/setup.
Tried all that, no progress. Gonna have to go digging around in some forums but thanks for the quick reply.
@@foxmulder5150 I noticed that when listening to the tuner in 2-channel stereo, the sub was not working until i changed the speaker from Large to Small. That enabled the sub. Still working through these settings and what changes what!
@@tmcc191 do you know if there's a way to take out low-end of the fronts and make the subwoofer do al the work? I think I mightve figured it out but just wanted to know if there's any other solution. Don't wanna blow my fronts out again
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.
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
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?
We are trying to get the TSR-700 to work a Samsung UN65TU 7000F TV using cable and a single remote and Alexa. The question I have is the main zone always powers up to HDMI 1 and so we always have to change to HDMI 2 where the cable box is. I did not see anywhere in this video where I could change the default zone to power up to HDMI 2. My older receiver just stays on the last Input played. Can I either default mine to default to HDMI 2 or even last zone played?
Hi, What speakers do you use?
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.
I have a question that may be available thing or not. Can you listen to music while viewing TV?? Maybe it's just a setting in not thinking about. I just want to play my switch while listening to music from another source.
While listening to Bluetooth/airplay click option on the remote -> video out -> select the hdmi the tv is plugged into
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 ?
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+.

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.

Just watched your video, very good! Question: I’m having a problem getting full sound out of my outdoor speakers ( Zone 2). My power amp assign is 5.1.2 + 1Zone , I clicked Party Mode on, volume still faint. When I test (speakers), it is clearly working. What could be muting the volume ?
Is there some type of volume control in between your amp and speakers? You can also completely test the line and speakers by temporarily connecting them to front right and left on the amp while playing something. Hope this helps.
@@sugarey so as it turns out, my power amp assign needed to be 7.1 +1zone, not sure I understand that? But now I have them working.. 🤷🏼♀️
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!
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
I tried to do a backup on the TSR-700 and got a error message ? My current Firmware is 1.53 !
I have added atmos speakers and I have no sound. When going to speaker menu the presence speakers are not highlighted to adjust to turn on! Just wondering if you had this problem! Thanks
Apologize for the delayed response. I would run YPAO/RSC again.
Help! I set mine up and I'm quite new to receivers. I notice the lyrics on music are quite muted. I'm not sure what setting piece I might have messed up. Appreciate any thoughts.
If just listenring to music versus movies. Check to see if you are just pushing sound thru 2 Channels - “straight” button on the top part of your remote. Make sure to press again to get back surround sound.
If that doesn’t work you can always recalibrate.
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.
i got 2 subs and two front hieght speakers 5.2.2 system...what speaker setting should i use for this receiver?
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.
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

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.
