    Bad Plasma, or ?

    looks like with the Pioneer you have to UNPLUG the power, wait and then plug in the power to reset. That worked...FYI

Ive been having problems configuring the bedroom remote so I left it. last night it was on mysteriously and I used the remote...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    Thanks Schan/Phil The Yamaha does provide the ability to provide HDMI audio out and when it does, it hasnt affected the normal speakers. So it looks like I'll give the 5557 a shot - not that expensive and if it works it will definitely be worth it. Thanks for hanging in there with me...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    so if I place a HDMI switch between the AVR and the TV, the signal would be worse? RIght now the Yamaha switches between sources and 2 zones and I could be watching two separate sources in two rooms. If I place something between the sources coming into the AVR, I would loose my ability to do...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    Schan - why would you prefer a 4X2 between the Yamaha & TV instead of something between the TV & Yamaha? (any suggestions?) Phil - I looked at 5557 but it says: "expand the input capabilities of an A/V receiver that doesn't support HDMI®" - (my receiver has HDMI) and mostly because it states...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    Thanks for the clarifcation. I dont really need to go from Digital to Analog, matter of fact, I would rather not :) I was just looking for an HDMI pass-through device that has an additional HD audio optical out. My 3030 handles everything great except the optical audio for the headphones...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    Does the de-embedder still work as a full pass through for the HDMI signal? It doesnt change the HDMI output at all does it? It just takes audio and duplicates it out the optical, correct? PS - I was lost with the acronyms... what's DAC? SACD? It could work as a pass through between my AVR...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    I just had another thought that I would like opinions on.Is there a HDMI-HDMI-TOS switch that I could place between the receiver and the TV that would have an optical Audio out?Dont know if such an item exists, and, if so, what the caveats might be.

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    I'll have to check the BluRay Player.The ATV is the "newer" of the models - purchased about a year ago.Seems like the solution to my problem (unfortunately) will be to connect the three devices optical outs to an optical switch and eliminate the receiver from the headphones loop.While the...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    I didnt see the second audio out message and connected an optical cable to my optical out on my Pioneer Elite 150. That didnt work. In reading the manual (good idea), I found the statement: When signals are input from the HDMI terminals, no signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    yes - the problem is that I'm using Zone 2 for the bedroom, not the headphones. I dont think I can use another zone for the bedroom and then have the Main/Zone2 be on at the same time It looks like I will have to run an optical cable from the TV itself back to the headphones....I was hoping that...

    Yamaha RX-A3030 with Optical Headphones

    I just finished having my Yamaha RX - A3030 set up to control my Main LIving Room 5.1 system/TV as well as my Bedroom stereo /TV (Zone 2). I was originally told that I could hook up my Sony Optical wireless headphones to the A3030 and while hearing the sound through the speakers, I would also...

    Wireless Headphones - need suggestion

    So if I get headphones that use optical, by using opitcal out for the headphones on the yamaha, would that negate the speaker wires out? or, could they work in unison?

    Wireless Headphones - need suggestion

    Sennheiser just got back and said that the headphones use the RCA jacks. If I use the RCA jacks and the speakers are wired, will the Yamaha play through both? Someone else said that the Yamaha will not use HDMI input and push it out through the RCA Audio jacks, true?

    Wireless Headphones - need suggestion

    That sounds good, but with my limited knowledge I'm still confused. OK, so I use Zone 1 for one room, zone 2 for the other. If someone is utilizing zone 1 for say the blu-ray and someone else zone 2 for the direcTv..... If the headphones are plugged into digital output, doesnt it "take away"...

    Wireless Headphones - need suggestion

    I'm considering purchasing the Yamaha RX A3020 to supply two rooms. I would like to buy a set or wireless headphones that would not eliminate the sound from the TV when in use. Something that would allow me to crank the volume a bit on the headphones but keep the speakers lower. I was looking at...

    Headphones, streaming and just plain confusion

    I'm sold on the 3020. Looks like the answer to one of my issues. I really appreciate the help. Now I have to look into the local streaming concept and figure that one out. Looks like perhaps Apple TV itself could do it with my regular computer running NAS. There's other stuff out there (Plex is...

    so is it possible with the Yamaha to watch one source in one room while watching another source in another room at the same time?

    Headphones, streaming and just plain confusion

    Each room has it's own HDMI out - so does the Yamaha give me the ability to watch a bluray (say HDMI in #1) in one room and TV (HDMI in #3) in the other? or do I need two AVRs? The Zone B is mentioned on the amazon page ...

    Headphones, streaming and just plain confusion

    The Yamaha looks extremely interesting. One question. It mentions that "HDMI Zone B for audio/video streaming to another room (same content as main room)" Is this just an additional feature? The receiver is also able to have two different inputs playing in main room vs other room, right?

    Headphones, streaming and just plain confusion

    I will agree that they are idiots - When I mentioned headphones, they said they were unfamiliar with that. What do you mean when you said "Whether that be "main 5.1" or a "zone" is up to you." ? I'm looking to use the headphones in the living room while the image and sound are on (quieter if at...

    Headphones, streaming and just plain confusion

    I've had an Escient system with my 400 Sony DVD player for quite some time. Recently it died. Any my once sufficient home theater is falling apart. I hired someone to get it working the way I wish, but they lack the experience in two critical areas, so I figured I would appeal to the experts...
