Just in case anyone is using a 10 year old RX-V1200 receiver and the RAV230 remote's keys have gone bad, The RAV234 remote for the RX-V1300 unit is a direct replacement, even tough the parts folks at Yamaha didn't know it. The RAV230 isn't available, but the RAV234 is, unless I bought the last...
Happy Holidays to everyone! I have a 10 year old Yamaha RX-V1200 A/V receiver, still works great and I'm going to wait a bit to get a newer receiver. However, the remote has been used a lot in 10 years and some of the buttons are getting very worn and do not operate properly unless you squish...
Thanks to everyone for all their help and support. I'm sure when I get the unit and start the setup there'll be many more questions, so you guys be prepared. I'm not very familiar with these things as you can probably tell. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

The TV I have is an LG42PC1DA...
Hey thanks for you reply. Well if that's true, then if I buy the Oppo then all the DVD's I own will not upscale through the player without using HDMI? Correct?
I want to buy the Oppo player, however I cannot find the answer for a question using the component video output. Under the player specs it states.."available for non-restricted content only." I have no idea what that means, could someone answer that question for me and should I be concerned...
I am going with the Oppo BDP-83, even though it isn't WiFi capable as well as no streaming. However, the two main units I was looking at..the Samsung BD-P3600 and the LG BD390 had so many really bad reviews from so many owners, I decided to go with the Oppo. It's reviews were 4-5 stars across...
