My new A-S1200 arrived today, a nice job for the weekend. Looking forward to hooking this up to the turntable.
I have a 10 year old Onkyo TX-NR807 that I'll be running side by side for now. I can probably run the front pre-outs of the Onkyo into the main in on the A-S1200. This should save swapping speaker cables over when I want to watch a movie/TV (so front L&R from Yamaha, centre & surrounds from Onkyo). Sadly I think the Onkyo's 12v trigger out is only for Zone 1/2 not for the main output. So I'll have to manually turn both on for now.
I had considered replacing the Onkyo with a Yamaha RX-V685. This has a main 12v trigger and dedicated front pre-outs. This would also kill the need for my music cast steamer as it has this and USB ect built in. Looks a good value AV Amp but looking around it seems it's already discontinued. Might try to find a used one.
