How do I get Sirius XM radio on my Yamaha RX-A3070 receiver? This receiver is supposed to have Sirius XM built-in. A google search states "Select On Screen on your Yamaha remote, then select Sirius XM", but I don't see that as an option within the on-screen menu (unless I'm overlooking...
I have a pair of Klipsch Reference Premiere Atmos RP-280FA, Frequency response 32-25kHz +/- 3dB with an SVS SB-3000 Sub powered by a Yamaha RX-A3070 A/V receiver. I've read that many people say to set all speakers to small and let the sub do all the work. However, with these big floor standing...
I've added a pair of Pioneer Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers, SP-T22A-LR, to my Yamaha RX-A3070 A/V Receiver using the front presence inputs. Pioneer states to filter the speakers at or above 180. My Yamaha receiver has the following filters: (fc=40/60/80/90/100/110/120/160/200 Hz), there's no...
When connecting a HDMI 4K cable from a TV cable box to an A/V Receiver, is it best to connect to the TV's HDMI ARC input or just one of the regular HDMI inputs?

Does the Yamaha RX-A820 A/V Receiver HDMI have pass-through so that even with the receiver off the HDMI signal will pass to the TV? My TV is connected to a settop box via HDMI. Sometimes I want to be able to watch TV via HDMI without the Yamaha receiver on, it's not necessary to have the...
Thanks. You said what I wanted to say about "getting deeper vocals for the male voice". Would it be better to leave the other settings at 0 and "play with" the 300 hz band?
I have a Yamaha RX-V861 A/V Receiver which has a 5 band equalizer for center channel adjustment. I have listed below the bands on this equalizer. How do I adjust to improve the low frequency (more bass) from the center channel speaker? 5 Band Equalizer: 100Hz ;;;;;; 0dB 300Hz ;;;;;; 0dB...
After doing a search and reading through several post at another forum which dealt specifically with my EH55 unit, I found the solution. I ran the cable from the wall into the EH55 and from the EH55 into the cable box. I set up the EH55's input to IN3. I then made an audio/video connection FROM...
Before I had Digital Cable, I had my Panasonic EH55 DVD R hooked up to analog cable. When I viewed a source through the DVR, my Yamaha RX-V861 A/V Receiver indicated PCM but it output in 5.1 surround. Since I have audio optical coming from the DVR to the Yamaha I get Dolby Digital when I play a...
I'm awaiting delivery of my Yamaha RX-V861. I have a Panasonic DMR EH55 DVD Recorder with HDMI OUT. My TV does NOT have HDMI connections. Would I see a picture improvement (over regular component video conneciton quality) if I ran HDMI from the DVD Recorder to the RX-V861 Receiver and from the...

My neighbor has a Sony Grand Wega - Model # KDF-E60A20 which is stated as 1080i. Under Video Options>DRC Mode (Digital Reality Creation) - High Density and Progressive are options. Does the term "progressive" in this case mean "progressive scan" thus allowing the TV to do 1080p for videos?
Thanks again guys for the help. Is there something like a Y adapter for Optical Audio and HDMI cables (similar to the old Y adapters used with the analog cables)?
Digital Cable box and TV both have Digital Audio (Optical Out). Is it best to connect the Optical Audio Out FROM the Cable box TO the A/V Receiver or FROM the TV TO the A/V Receiver? I was going to connect FROM the Cable Box TO the A/V Receiver.
Thanks for all the input. For the record, here's a link to the cable box supplied by the cable company. Motorola - Connected Home Solutions - Digital Video Solutions - DCH3200 Host Set-top
I understand that connection. I'll be setting this up for a neighbor. Suppose my neighbor decides that on occasion they want to watch TV WITHOUT the A/V Receiver on, with the connection mentioned they would not be able to watch HD programming? How about doing HDMI from cable box to TV, and...
