Hey guys, there doesn't appear to be an owner's thread for this receiver and having just bought one, it'd be great to discuss settings and experiences with other owners.
For me it's my first AV receiver, shopped around for over a year and finally got this Yamaha along with some Dali Zensor 1s in 5.1. Linked up to my new Sony TV it's an absolute dream compared to my last setup.
I have Xbox One going into HDMI 1 and a Raspberry Pi running Rasplex in HDMI 2 so far.
Also using Spotify to stream directly from receiver, controlled from my Android. Works flawlessly. Looking at getting some lossless music to really get the quality of those speakers shining through.
Watched my first 3D Blu Ray last night and there was a slight lip sync issue, audio was coming through slightly quicker than the image, tried a few different modes and also Pure Direct (I'm not sure what all these settings do yet) but the picture was always a few milliseconds behind. There's a manual delay option on the receiver which I had a quick go of but the girlfriend was watching too so didn't want to play around too much.
When I watched a few episodes of Big Bang streamed through the Rasp Pi there were no noticeable lip syncing issues.
Gaming on Xbox is an absolute pleasure with the sound coming through the receiver too. Shadows of Mordor and Forza 2 both make excellent use of the 5.1, very immersive.
In summary: Loving it so far
Would love to hear any tips and tricks from you guys along with your experiences.
Cheers!
