anyone done the 1.77 firmware update yet did mine tonight cannot find anything online to say what the upgrade is for though ?
I contacted Sky explaining the problem of not being able to update the sky+box. Because it's insured they are sending someone out. They gave me a date Jan 7th. I thought they were coming out a lot sooner than that and it wasn't acceptable. Waiting for call back. Sky=RubbishIn which case your SKY box hasn't had the firmware update that gives it the ability to output Dolby Digital via HDMI. This in turn explains why you are only getting 2ch stereo from the SKY box. You are getting 2ch PCM displayed because this is all your SKY box can output via HDMI if it hasn't been updated.
Look into whether or not your box is updatable and if not then you'll have to use optical to convey multichannel audio from it as opposed to HDMI.
Hi Dante, If i look at the sound settings on the tv then turn the amp of it changes from home theatre to tv but i have no sound from tv speakers.
If you mean you switch the amp into standby and the TV switches to TV speakers then try increasing the TV's volume.
The problem now occurs on all hdmi inputs. It updated the firm ware as wellI'd suggest the issue is either with the HDMI cable, Netflix or your XBox. It may even be an issue with your home network or internet provision if only apparent in relation to Netflix content?

Hello. First post.
I am having issues getting my RX-V677 to work with my speakers. Both are new and have not been set up before.
The speakers are Vizio SB4051-C0. They work when directly connected to the TV. However I cannot figure out what the proper way to connect them to the RX-V677 is. I have no issues getting video to work, only sound.
I have tried using optical, digital, and RCA but none have been successful. Obviously I am not setting it up correctly but I cannot figure out what the disconnect is. The guide seems to focus more on more advanced speak systems.
I'm not sure what information would be useful so if you need any clarification or pics of the setup just let me know.
Seem to have narrowed this down to the pc, with the pc switched off the avr doesn't come on, on it's own. As it seems to be from the same time that I upgraded the pc to W10 I'll get around to asking in the computer-desktop section if anyone has an idea where to start looking.Has anyone come across this amp switching itself on? A couple of times or so a week my amp switches itself on and shows 'Airplay' on the display, always at nine in the evening. It's connected to an eight port switch, my tv, sky box and a pc are also connected to this switch. The network wake setting is turned on but it comes on without any specific activity. I have an Ipad but the amp comes on even when I'm not using it.
The same is happening to mine. Firmware bug?Annoying problem started in the last couple of days. When I press the "sur decode" button nothing happens. The amp will not switch from "straight". Before that button cycled through Dolby modes, now does nothing other than switch from straight to straight.
I saw there was a software update so have done that, but not fixed the problem.
Any ideas?
I was advised to set speakers to smallHi - I've just changed from an Onkyo 607 to a Yamaha 677 receiver (thanks to my old fella kindly donating it to me as an Xmas pressie! )
I'm having a problem getting it to sound as good as the Onkyo using my Bose Acoustimass 6 speaker system though. I've spent a lot of time over the last week tweaking the settings from the ones that the YPAO set-up recommended but I always seem to end up with either too much or too little bass.
Anyone got any suggestions for set up? Currently I've set all the speakers to large and set the crossover to 60Hz.
Any advise or suggestions to try gratefully recevied.
I've tried that and it didn't seem to make much difference. The Bose manual says if your receiver gives a choice of large or small speakers then you should choose large. The manual also says set the crossover to the lowest setting on the receiver (usually 80Hz), but the Yamaha can go down to 40Hz which gives way to much Bass...I was advised to set speakers to small

Adjust the Bass and LFE using the knobs on the Bass Module. I have my crossover set to 60Hz even though the receiver can go to 40Hz.
