Thanks for posting this. I bought the RX-A3080 because of that excellent app experience you mentioned at the end of this video. Totally agree that Yamaha nailed it with the app interface.
I can feel your happiness. Congrats.. I going to hit up the CX-A5200 based on this review. Thanks for sharing.
I started with the 1st gen rx-a1000, about 8-9 years ago, not 1 issue. Moved it upstairs to replace an old onkyo on my living room setup and upgraded to the rx-a3080 for my theater. Great products. Anyway, I wanted to mention that I think the “click” you referred to is the receiver turning off unused channels, for instance in a 5.1 setup it will check for surround back channels and turn them off, then move on. If we’re talking about the same thing...
Yes. The clicking noise is made by electromechanical switches called "relays".
I've just purchased the Yamaha CX-A5200 pre-amp, here in Australia it retails for $3,999 will be calibrating this stunning pre-amp on the weekend. You have a excellent setup there a big thumbsup to your channel. 👍👍
Congrats Darren and thanks!
All I know I've had this head unit since 2008. I've finally had a chance to open it up and Experiment. Thanks to the divorce I've had time to savor the flavor. The Athena's never sounded so robust. The home while unfortunately empty, is filled instead with, thanks to YPAO, soothing warmth. Remember that the piano has two colors of keys, white and black.
With atmos movies, try using enhanced dsp, it's next level when it comes to atmos, yamaha developed it specifically for atmos, John Wick movies really put it to the test.
I'll be sure to try this tomorrow on my 3060.
Raf, i really love your videos because your enthusiasm is so inspiring and it kinda cheers me up.
You live in tech wonderland (the Rafcave) and you enjoy everything you like like the tech stuff itself, the games the movies the comic book adaptions in movies. You live the hobby world dream and i envy you a bit for it but in a good way.
I hope this makes sence as a huge compliment from your german subscriber.
Thumps up to the sky.
Thanks for the great comment! I always hope to Inspire thru my videos! 👍🏽🙂🙂
Rafcav that's a outstanding setup great detail review. I auditioned Yamaha rxa3080 and denon x6500h yesterday at best buy. I grab the Yamaha rxa3080 I'll be setting it up tomorrow I can't wait. Rafcav thanks for all your help and quick reply to my question.
Thanks and congrats! 😃👍🏽👍🏽
Raf thanks for the great video...So good I'm offering a good tip. If you want to check your system on clarity and acoustics as well as levels use the Eagles HELL FREEZES OVER DVD. Go right to the Hotel California song....Amazing sound......My other choice for testing is the Fleetwood Mac THE DANCE.....First song The Chain.......
Thanks!
The Eagles live. Live recording are notoriously distorted. Please recommend more perfectly engineered studio pieces. Steely Dan Aja. The Eagles? Surely, you most certainly jest!!
Great video. Unfortunately what in struggling with currently is the fact that ypao parametric eq doesn't support anything below like 30hz for my subs and mine definitely go below 30hz. Also what's strange to me is ypao is eqing the left and right floor speakers differently. It seems to sound better with the through setting overall.
You really shouldn’t need to EQ below 30 Hz those frequencies are omnidirectional and can’t really be localized. In regards to the Ypao I’ve had to run it many different times trying out different Mic positions and ended up taking all eight measurements never moving the microphone more than 2 feet from any other given position, they have instructions for this in the manual that you can download and it seemed to work pretty good for me however because it doesn’t eq the low frequency to my liking I moved on to REW and umik-1. The left and right front speakers being different can be due to sidewall distances and even furniture layout like if you have a couch on one side of the room and not the other.
That click is the Receiver / processor switching to a different amplifier that powers that certain speaker.
Some are just louder than others.
Thanks, but It clicked In my Onkyo...
THE RAFCAVE I assure you your Yamaha has a amplifier for each channel it can power. It may not click when it switches between amps but it still switches. If you know what I mean.
Are you saying my Yamaha processor has amps in it? 🤔
THE RAFCAVE if you have a processor, no. They are powered by separate amps. That’s why you don’t have a click.
THE RAFCAVE Sorry I shouldn’t have included the processor in the first thread.
Awesome Video Raf!!! That's what i'm talking about.
Thanks Henry!
Welcome to the Yamaha family of awesome sound and awesome reliability. The flexibility of changing high frequency gains is a life saver for my aging ears. Can you please tell me how is your experience with changing sub layout from mono to left+right? Also, I haven't switched to Atmos yet, do you really think it's adding a useful dimension? I don't hear much difference with height presence channels vs 7.2 setup on my CX-A5000 (without Atmos). Wondering if I should upgrade.
Hi and thank you! My time with the Yamaha was a very pleasant one! I switch my sub configuration to allow better calibration. Adding true Dolby Atmos Is a sound game changer. Much much better than "presence" sound. Definitely add Atmos speakers. 🙂👍🏽
@@TheRafcave thanks a lot for the insights and quick response. I will be upgrading based on your inputs now.
Thanks great video
Good video. Pl reply YAPO result is accurate in case of room with furniture.
Another well informing video from you RAF, a quick question i have is where did you find your seat covers. I have looked and looked but can't find any to fit these type of seats. thanks again!
Thanks Bruce! The seat covers were given to me as a gift. I don't know where they came from! Sorry! 🤔
no problem , thanks for responding. I really like your setup nothing but the real deal from you take care RAF.
Great video
I have Yamaha 781 av amp
Did all the calibration work like dream
Thanks! Good job! 👍🏽👍🏽
I have a Yamaha receiver and when playing Apple TV and press airplay it shows on screen small thumbnail picture and sound but not movie playing. Any idea?
Hello 👋🏾 why does my Yamaha Rx a3070 when I put a movie in Dolby Atmos it only goes into STRAIGHT and doesn't tell me atmos on the Yamaha screen?
Check your movie players audio output settings.
Great video!! I have the RX A3070 running a 5.2.2 with Def Tech 8000 series & HSU subs. Have you done any tweaks to the bass after running the room correction? I have found that YPAO does a pretty good job on the speakers. I also change the crossovers & levels slightly, but the bass management is a bit lacking. What have you done if anything to address this?
You have a great set up! I haven't changed settings after. If it sounds good I wouldn't alter It. 🙂
I have recently purchased rx v2085. It's awesome. Just need to know if surround al or sur decoder which one is better for watching movie
You’re probably going to want to put it on “surround decoder”, from there you can choose whether you want to use Dolby or DTS.
Surround Decoder 👍🏽
Awesome 😎
Thanks 🙂
Hi good video. Can I ask why you change from the Yamaha 5100 to the Marantz 7705 and witch do you think is better
Marantz has a better sound. More options.
THE RAFCAVE Thanks for the reply do you think you get better separation and sound from a pre-pro versus say the Marantz 8012
Pre pro will always be better than a AVR. Just make sure you have a good amp.
THE RAFCAVE I have no doubt that the specification are slightly better in the separates but can you hear the difference
@@TheRafcave and why you take Yamaha CX-A5200 and not marantz av8805?
hello mr RAF CAFE..7.1.4 front high, top front or front high, top middle. which choice is better sound? Thank you
Hi, top front and top middle.
@@TheRafcave if the front high speaker position is used as the top front, can it?
@@TheRafcave I think the front hight speaker can't be moved
I'm trying
Why did surround 5.1 come back.
The Rafcave.. Great video. I own the Yamaha RX-3070. What's the difference?
Hi, there are no amps In the 5100, and It has more and higher quality DACs and channel processing than AVR's. 😉👍🏽
Hey raf.. where did u get those awesome screensavers on ur vizio screen?
That's one's from Sound Spectrum.
Thanks for video.A5200 with AI is definitly the better one.
how did you connect your receiver to your TV ? using HDMI cable or fiber optics cable ? Does it matter which cable you use to get that on screen menu ?
Any HDMI cable can get you the on screen menu. I use fiber thou.
@@TheRafcave Thanks ! I as leaning that way. I think I will keep using my Toslink and configure the speakers manually on the receiver.
Would you recommend also using a sound meter when calibrating the speakers or is ypao efficient enough??
If you run a spl meter then I'll throw off the Ypao level settings. Ypao Is great. 🙂
I can't get this screen on my tv any suggestions ?
🧐
Hey have a question when calibrating speakers what determines if they are small or large. My set up are B&W Nautilus 603 for all height, Backs & surr my Mains are B&W 803 center B&W HTM2 my receiver Yamaha RX-A2070
Rule of thumb Is to set your speakers to small and 80hz, set Atmos heights to 100hz, set subwoofer to handle all the low end bass. Enjoy!
John Smith hey Thxs what amps would u suggest ?
@John Smith thxs I had a Lexicon MV-5 with adcom amps but had mishap New Lexicon but going for 4 grand but thinking of Anthem 720
@John Smith Yep I had 2 adcom amps and Lexicon mV-5 but they got damaged I purchase Yamaha for now but upgrading back to Lexicon Rv-6 but 4 grad is ruff so thinking of anthem 720 and going back to Adcom for sep? any more advise? thxs
Hi, I've got 2 front speakers. I use the ypao it says the left at 0dB and the right +3.5dB. I have no idea what that means and if I need to change the speaker levels to match? Any advice would be appreciated. 🤙
Are your speaker lengths the same? You can double check spl levels by using a Db meter. Or just let It be.
What settings did you use for your parametric EQ? I switched speakers and can't get the settings right
🤔 Can't remember...
Why did you put center crossover at 90 and heights at 100? How does this effect the sound quality? I also have Yamaha receivers and always kept crossovers at 80. Maybe I have been doing something wrong?
It's experimental. Before when I had my Onkyo, I had to raise the crossover to 90hz to get a cleaner dialog out of the speaker. But now with the Yamaha It sounds better so I may go back to 80hz. The heights I want to have very little bass so they become more crisp with higher Hz.
I have two home theater systems setup and in my bigger living room my center at times is muffled a bit for movie dialogue. So if I go up to 90 as a crossover perhaps that might clean up my dialogue?@@TheRafcave
I could help, but It depends on the speaker and AVR. I brought my center crossover back down to 80hz and It sounds fine. 😏
Hello, I have Yamaha RX-V685 Amplifier connected to my Harman Kardon HKTS 9 Speakers & 1 Harman Kardon Subwoofer.
The issue is that the dialouges delivery goes quiet low for which I have to increase the sound level way beyond but than all of a sudden, those background sound effects of punch & firing as an example make extreme amount of noise & I have to immediately get the volume level down so that people around don't get disturbed due to fiercely background noise that it creates.
But if I bring the volume down than again dialouges cannot be heard at all so increase the volume thus throwing this issue into a continuous loop.
What could be the issue & solution to it? I haven't done the YAPO though....
Yapo could help, also make sure you don't have dynamic compression on. And you could boost the center channel higher.
@@TheRafcave Thanks! I'll check all of these & let you know...☺
Hey RAF have you seen aquaman years it's cool
Not yet Rob! Looks great!... For The Rafcave!! 😁
Doesn’t it configure automatically? Then after it’s done, set to small/80 hz? Do you have to manually set it first?
All manual adjustments are after automatic calibration.
THE RAFCAVE Can’t you just place the mic on the tri pod by itself? Do you need the plastic boomerang?
@@Bigcal44 both work, just place the mic at ear level.
Hey Raf good to be joining you on this Yamaha YPAO calibration journey...... Ive been rockin sony and pioneer and other receivers but recently decided to get serious about having good sound and a good system so was trying to make a choice between a Marantz and Yamaha but decided on the Yamaha RX-V673....it hasnt arrived but I'm excited but not looking forward to dismantling the original setup. i make music and all this time not hearing music or sounds like i should but that is going to change today. glad i stumbled on to your video but i don't feel bad ...looking at your cave and my wifey goes crazy about the electronics in my room but i know there are other serious cats like me and U....... hey keep in touch ...i liked and subscribed Please checked me out also check me out on instagram under Ron Wess MusaQ....play some of that on your system PeaceLove&GodBless ("
Hey Ron welcome! You should enjoy the Yamaha very much. It has a nice tone to It. Show be a great upgrade for you. 😉👍🏽
Are you still have your denon receiver
Yes In my PC area. 👌🏽
You know the clicks isn’t chips , they are relays . This has nothing to do with quality .
REW, REW, REW, REW.... YPAO and Audyssey don't show how it's changing the frequency response curves.
True
You can enter Yamaha's web setup by browsing the ip address/setup. Go to the Speaker tab and expand PEQ to see the changes YPAO made
