+Warwagon MVC Posted April 29, 2016 MVC Share Posted April 29, 2016 Wondering if anyone owns the Yamaha RX-V679BL. I was wondering if it was possible to disable the OSD (on screen display) when adjusting the volume. The sony I just had and am returning, STRDH750 would output 480p to show the OSD of the volume icon in the bottom of the screen while watching a 1080p video on the my projector. This would make the projector think it just switched resolutions thus the picture would go out and the audio too as it would adjust the picture for 480p each time I would press volume up or down on the remote. Just making sure this one doesn't do that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Raze Subscriber² Posted April 29, 2016 Subscriber² Share Posted April 29, 2016 The manual is not laid out very well. I almost bought this receiver, it's a very good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceelf Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't think it'd be an issue with modern kit...my Onkyo HT-S5800 shows the OSD in 1080p. (Probably any other resolution as well, but I don't have any 4k kit to test.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't think. A lot of people were complaining about that issue with that sony receiver. It's such a stupid problem which could easily be fixed with a firmware update.

+Warwagon MVC Posted May 3, 2016 Author MVC Share Posted May 3, 2016 So the new receiver came today, and it works MUCH MUCH better than the cheaper Sony one Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 You should think about tonally matching your front three instead of mixing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of which there wasn't one. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not get the Polk Monitor 40s for the front channel speakers? Or their floor standing monitors? Polk speakers are going to sound way better than any Japanese counterparts. Many many years ago, a guy I knew who worked at this high-end audiophile shop said that you're fine when getting components from Japan, but speakers should come from US or Britain. They just make better stuff. I don't know if that's still the case, but I would reckon you'd be better off getting all the same brand of speakers. My little Monitor 40s (which are bookshelf speakers) sound exquisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
