Dsp-ax763 Manual
If anyone is looking for an affordable HD reciever, the AX763 is a worthy contender!! - I took delivery of this from petertyson.co.uk and its amazing for the price.The 763 can decode Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD (inc Master) and the previous codecs of course.
Dsp-ax763 Manual Free
If you wish to have your source player (PS3/bluray device) decode the audio and pass over the audio as PCM to the 763, this is possible as it supports 7.1 uncompressed PCM audio up to 192kHz decoded as Linear PCM at source via HDMI.I previously owned a Yamaha AX-620, awesome amp once configured correctly, however it didn't have support for the HD codecs and it wouldn't be able to handle multichannel pcm since it has no HDMI. The 763 comes with 2 HDMI inputs (1.3a) - This could be considered quite low by today's standard.personally I just use a blu-ray player and have the other HDMI port spare.maybe for SkyHD one day? - My Xbox runs through component. This could be a problem for some. But the price point probably reflects this. If the number of ports is an issue you could get the higher model.the AX863 which has more ports but costs a lot more.As a bonus - it has 2 subwoofer outputs!One really nice feature is that it will pass through Composite, S-Video, component via the HDMI out.Configuration has taken quite some time, I was really happy with the ax620 but I remember that it took me a good few days to get it setup correctly, and ax763 is no different.-fear not though!
- if you want to get setup quickly you can use the supplied Yamaha Mic! Simply plug it into the unit and follow the on screen instructions. The system will calibrate itself based on your speakers and room properties./-EDIT: It is becoming apparent that a lot of people are having some problems which are a result of the auto setup (no bass output). For this reason I advise everyone to start using the MANUAL SETUP. This way you will set everything up properly.if you don't understand a certain setting then look in the manual or ask here.If you have used auto setup and now wish to manually set this up, I advise you reset everything on the amp.
Look in the manually on how to reset everything back to Factory.Remember, with auto setup you are relying on mics and not your personal hearing!I'm a control freak, so I didn't go down this route as I prefer to manually set the amp up, but for someone who just wants to set it up quickly - this is ideal and the onscreen menu just makes things soo much easier to setup rather than using the 763's LCD screen.The remote is quite nice - much better than the ax620 which was very long and slim (difficult to hold). The 763 remote is more wide and features a LCD screen so that you know which source you are operating (if you choose to program it to talk to your other devices).The remote is pretty smart too, it features a macro system, so if you do end up controlling all your other devices from it you could create a one touch procedure.although I personally will probably end up getting a harmony remote.Initially I found the sound to be very bright, the bass was good but I felt that the middle was somewhat lacking slightly. I managed to correct this however by using the equalizer control for each channel - just a few minor tweaks and my system sounded awesome, excellent range!So I just wanted to point out that not only is this a great bit of kit but also for the price its a bargain!
I have not sampled the 1800 personally, but from what I have read it gets the same amount of praise. It is obviously a higher model and the cheapest I've seen is £575 from digitaldirect.co.uk.It has extra features, more hdmi ports etc, The 768 is really amazing value for the price (£350), the rx-v1800 is also at a good price point ( I think it is only available in silver in the uk?).If your price range is around £500-£600 then I would certainly arrange for a demo of the RX-V1800 - I'm sure you will be impressed! Agree with you on the Onkyo, absolutely hideous.Anyway, a few issues back What Hi-fi did a group test: Denon 1909 v Onkyo 606 v Yamaha 563.
The Yamaha came last due to it not having HD audio. They quoted the price for the Yammy as £400 and I made a point that that seemed way out on the going dealer rate for it and suggested they should have included the 763 instead. However, they came back to me saying that it was Yamaha's choice and that was the price Yamaha asked them to print.One dealer did actually say he'd listened to all 3 and reckoned if the 763 had been included it would've won it.I'll try and dig out the thread for you. Im desperate to know if this receiver will matrix 5.1 Bitstreamed sources such as True HD and DTS MA/HD to 7.1.The North American Yamahas have been reported not to do this.EDIT:Guess its true from the manual of the 763:'. When you play back the Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus,DTS-HD Master Audio, or DTS-HD High Resolution Audiosources, this unit does not activate any sound field program. When the sampling frequency of the input sources are higherthan 96 kHz, this unit does not apply any sound field programs.' EDIT 2:'■ Extended surround E)EXTD SUR.Use this feature to enjoy 6.1/7.1-channel playback formulti-channel sources using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx,Dolby Digital EX, or DTS-ES decoders by using theconnected surround back speakers.'
Maybe it is possible? The manual is so confusing! Agree with you on the Onkyo, absolutely hideous.Anyway, a few issues back What Hi-fi did a group test: Denon 1909 v Onkyo 606 v Yamaha 563.

Thanks for the link Lewis, an interesting read.I'm seriously considering one of these to replace my Sony 910, not because I'm unhappy, but have itchy feet for something different. And the price is very good at the mo. I've a few of questions however:1. Would this Yammy sound better than my current Sony?
(I know I should audition but wanted some opinions first).2. I believe I'd loose 1 HDMI input and 2x SUB outputs over the Sony, which isn't a problem to me as I'm only using one of each currently.3. Can you name the specific inputs on the Yammy, something I find really usefull.I can't tell anything else that I'd loose or gain over the Sony, but welcome anyone's views & opinions.Thanks guys & gals.

You may need to tweak it a little to get it to your desired taste. This isn't to say it underpeforms.not at all, you will just have to explore the menus and play with the settings until they suit your needs.
After all.you usually callibrate audio/video devices anyway.I guess what I am saying is, it sounds great to me (and this isn't my first amp), I've tweaked it to 'my preference'. Out of the box the amp is certainly bright in terms of sound. This isnt a bad thing at all, however I prefer less of the top end. So I simply play around with the digital equaliser bands and use an array of DSP programs (the Yammy has plenty).This is something as you say you will need to test, the Yamaha has plenty of options to allow you to get the sound you want.2. Sorry didn't understand this bit, but the yammy comes with 2 HDMI inputs and 2 Sub outs.3.
Do you mean the name of inputs? DVD, VCR (lol), DTV, CD, MD-R.
Thats all i can remember BUT the Yamaha lets you rename your inputs, so right now I have the DVD set as 'PS3 1080' on my display. Looks soo smart!

The manual is so confusing! Cheers mate i owe you a or.Its confimed then, as with its American sisters, it cannot process 5.1 HD Audio to 7.1!
Only via LPCM.Of course, theoretically this shouldnt be a problem, however, i would be extreemley bugged by this (just the way i am ).If i have a Blu Ray Disc with 2.0 Ch DTS MA in the future (for instance), i wont be able to expand the stereo to 7.1 without having to change my source to output LPCM!- For this i may aswell settle for a cheaper AVR which does not offer Bitstream decoding!This, along with the fact that the Yammy doesnt pass the Full Color Range 0-255 (Despite advertising x.v.Color support) has relegated itself from my shortlist. Full colour range is basically the range of color that a PC outputs, it can also be implemted by computer game manufactures and Blu Ray discs. Anything with a HDMI or DVI connection.At this moment in time, there is no media or content that supports the full range of blacks and whites available, however this may change in the future.To enjoy (or be worried) about this, you need to have either:1- A HTPC and wanting to connect your video card through the 763 (and you want to watch HD Movies on your PC and playing games). This is because the PC will upscale the color range from standard to FULL and then AVR will clip the Blacker than black (btb) and whiter than white(wtw) ends of the picture therefore making the color limited again and loosing some colour in the picture.

Looks soo smart! Thanks for the info Dalar, with reference to point 2, I was pointing out things I'd loose if I changed my Sony to the Yammy. At the moment I have 3 HDMI's in and 4 Sub out's. I'm only using one of each as it stands.
I've also since learned that I'd loose out on the built in tuner that I never use cos it's rubbish!!I'm just wondering wether the change is worth it, is the sound that much better than the Sony? Frank harvey on that link earlier suggested this amp was better than the 606 and I've read the 605 is better than the Sony so I am presuming yes.
A good user manualThe rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Yamaha T3n, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract.
In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.
What is an instruction?The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Yamaha T3n one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Yamaha T3n. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.
What should a perfect user manual contain?First and foremost, an user manual of Yamaha T3n should contain:- informations concerning technical data of Yamaha T3n- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Yamaha T3n item- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Yamaha T3n item- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards Why don't we read the manuals?Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Yamaha T3n alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Yamaha T3n, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Yamaha service.
Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Yamaha T3n. Bitsadmin exe.
Why one should read the manuals?It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Yamaha T3n item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.
