Nick, John With regards to power, the lower to mid-level Onkyo receivers tend to employ current limiters in their amps and some in some reviews/tests, the Onkyo has not even come close to it's rated power in the all channels driven test (another controversial subject), whereas even the low to...

__________________________________________________ _____ GregoriusM, I stand corrected. The SR-8400 was introduced at the Jan 2004 CES. I bought one in Jun 05 from a UBID.COM auction which Marantz authorized. It was brand new in the box with a 3 yr warranty (registered via Marantz's...

I currently have a Marantz SR-8400 model which was introduced in Jan 05, bought in July 05. It is rated at 7x110 watts per channel with gold plated input/outputs,2 component in, 1 out, 6 digit inputs, DPL IIX processing included and it sounds absolutely wonderful. Marantz generally deals only...

Guys, There's a review on audioholics (I believe) on the RX-4600 that reveal an average of around 40 watts per channel (all channels driven). Not a total suprise and remember, your system will only need 5-10 watts of actual power driving the speakers depending on the dynamics, demands of the...

Sean, I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the AVR-630 does not have the capability to layer Logic 7 over DD. As a matter of fact, I was close to buying the AVR-630 when I heard that HK would provide provide an upgrade to DPLIIX via the 630's RS-232 port but then I heard about the...

GregBe, I recently won one of the Marantz SR-8400s from UBID and I agree; PLIIX sounds impressive. I was spoiled by Logic 7 Cinema mode especially for converting analog cable channels to 7.1 (I have a 7.1) setup as well as Logic 7 music when listening to CDs. - After setting up my Marantz...

Actually, The AVR-8000, predecessor to the AVR-7200 was able to layer Logic 7 over DD but not the 7200. The AVR-630 didn't do it either but the 635 does for sure. If I'm not mistaken, the 7300 is able to do this also. Ask M-Code over on the avsforum. He can answer your questions for sure. I...

I have the AVR-525 and I think I know what your problem is. Since you have both Video-2 & Video-3 assigned to the same coax input, your digital music channels may only recognize it as digital only. In other words, you won't even have the option to switch to Logic 7 as an option. I've...

Your suggestion worked like a charm, thanks a million ________________________________________ No problem, Glad the solution worked. I'm using my AVR-525 strictly as a pre-amp but I absolutely love it. I'm getting the upgrade bug but I'm in no hurry right now.:emoji_thumbsup:

Have you tried the Logic 7 mode also? Are you able to connect analog cables in addition to your optical cable? I have a Scientific Atlanta cable box; (DIRECTV) is not an option where I live. However, I do have the AVR-525 running a coax or optical from my cable box to the receiver plus analog...
