I was wondering which (if any) of the following upgrades would improve the image quality fcoming rom my Z2 Projector... it's very good but would like to know just how good it could be... 1. Better component cables as I am currently using a basic (cheap) component cable 2. A better DVD...

Late night typo... should have read "component" not "composite" as that's what I'd like to use... sorry fior the confusion!

I have a Yamaha RXV-1400 Receiver and will soon be getting a Sanyo PLV-Z2 projector. My question is whether I can connect just one set of composite cables from the receiver to the projector. I have a DVD player, XBOX & Digital TV STB hooked up to the receiver. My understanding is that...

Thanks Steve for the detailed reply! I'm glad it's the weekend so I can fine tune my set-up. Regards, Chris

I am setting up my HT and am using my new Yamaha 1400's auto set-up and I have a few questions... 1. The manual states that before running the tests you should set the sub-woofer volume to half-way and the cross-over frequency to maximum. I have a PSB Alpha Subzero so I can control both of...

I have a very specific problem with a particuar CD and my Pioneer 563A. The CD is Sketches of Spain and it is a SACD Disk. When it loads in the DVD Player it shows SACD on the front panel. But when I play the CD I can only get 2 Channel audio. If I look at the settings in the DVD settings it...

I need to attach my VHS player to my AV Receiver. All of my other devices (DVD/CABLE Etc.) are connected using S VHS. I would like to use S VHS with my VCR but it doesn't have SVHS out or in. Is it ok to use an adaptor or an RCA to SVHS cable? I know the signal will not be S VHS quality...

I settled on the 1400. Thanks for all the great advice. I'm sure to have questions on the set-up so I'll definitely know where to turn!

If warranty coverage is a concern I would call Yamaha Canada to verify that the store that is selling Yamaha product is "Authorized" I checked out one Yonge St.. store that was selling the 1400 - and Yamaha told me that the store in question was not a Yamaha dealer and that they wouldn't...

Bought a Yamaha 1400 today for $1,000.00 including tax. Comes in a sealed box and you get a written receipt for warranty purposes. The 2400 is $1,170.00 including taxes. As I mentioned a no-frills place and it's actually on the main floor not the second. Tell them Chris sent you, as I...

On Spadina Ave, between Queen & Dundas in Chinatown (West side of street) They are on the second floor of the shopping plaza. Sorry I donèt know the exact street number. A no-frills place but good prices.

Is the fact that the current generation AV Receivers do not generally have DVI connections a good reason to delay an AV Receiver purchase? Also I was told that the next generation mid-priced receivers will generally have 3 component video inputs rather than the current two - in order to...

"Update" on Spadina Ave. is definitely an authorized dealer. I called Yamaha in Toronto and they confirmed this - so the full warranty would be in effect. The store is in a mall and the store is very modest in size and displays - no listening rooms etc, really just a spot to go to make a...

Check out Update Audio on Spadina. They are an authorized dealer and sell the 1400 for $1.000.00 including tax - If you pay cash. I think this is an excellent price as they normally sell in T.O, for $1050 plus tax. The model they sell includes the IIX firmeare upgrade. Email me as I might...

Thanks to everyone for the advice - much appreciated. I am able to buy the Yamaha 1400 for a good price locally and am tempted. However, another dealer I was talking to recommended holding off for the next model releases later this year for a couple of reasons.... 1. The next mid-level...

Still trying to sort through all of the models that have been suggested in this price range and try to make a meaningful comparison between selected models (What makes this a bit more difficult is that there are a lot of models that are still being sold - even though there are new models being...

Thanks for all the feedback. Was wondering why there wasn't anything in the Pioneer Elite series was not on anyone's list... is there something keeping them off the reccommended lists or just didn't happen to appear? Again, thanks all...
