After doing a lot of researching (and reading between the lines) the son-in-law has discovered that, although the A660 is part of the Aventage series where access to the PEQ settings is possible, the A660 is the bottom of the line, and one of the Aventage features it doesn't have, is access to...

That's perfect. I think that's exactly what my son-in-law is looking for. I've forwarded it to him. Thanks :T 🍷

I believe the A660 has the current firmware. When I saw that the PEQ was greyed out, the owner (my son-in-law) had already run YPAO. However, I know he was doing a lot of fiddling, trying understand this new technology (;)), and he may have reset all settings to default, which may have deleted...

It was actually my son-in-law who bought the Yamaha, 2nd hand. He has very little experience with home theatre systems, and I've been helping him out. My system, which I sold when we moved house, always had receivers with Audyssey, which I loved. But I still did a fair bit of tweaking using an...

In the early '60s (I was probably around 14) I sat in someone's bedroom and listened to a stereo for the first time. It was a good system for it's time, and the LP was Harry Belafonte in concert. I was totally blown away. From then on my dream was to have a decent stereo system. Once I got my...

Normally you only have easy access to the GEQ adjustments, which are crude are have a very low Q on each slider (very broad effect), which makes it virtually useless. Running YPAO (another nearly useless Yamaha tool), alters the EQ using a PEQ, and creates a PEQ file. I have see posts that...

Thanks Wayne and WUS. I'll pass on the manufacturer suggestions. The partner is doing lots of research to help him understand the gear he has in front of him, and to help searching all the 2nd hand outlets. I sent him this link https://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm to help him...

My daughter and partner are looking for a decent 2nd hand CD player to connect to their AV system for their CD collection (no SACDs). They are hoping to get something that has a good DAC and transport (low jitter and THD). And hopefully under $100us/$150au. Any ideas? Edit :- I think they...

Hi Tried to test my soundbar system with REW with limited results (REW recognized 8 channels, but test tones only appeared to come from front L & R; Center; and rear L&R, and no Sub sound). Is there a downloadable program with discrete test tones that will cover all of the channels - 9.1.4...

OK, an Update. I've solved my connection problem. My main problem was that the normal audio driver in the laptop (Realtek Audio) does not generate/control the audio in the HDMI port. In the laptop's audio settings, I had to swap over to EP-HDMI-RX (Intel(R) Display Audio), which is a driver I...

You old fossil.;) Years ago I struggled with a cheap mic and an external SB sound card. I then upgraded to a calibrated Dayton EMM-6 with a small mixer for the phantom power. But I found it fiddly having to do all the calibrating and level checking each time before starting any measuring...

Thanks.:T Didn't look down there. Also all screen shots in the Help text, don't show the bottom of the Speaker Controls section (exactly like you've shown).

Hi Wayne Wow, you bring back memories. There is a HDMI input but doesn't appear to allow a connection to my laptop (see below). I'm using ASIO4ALL in REW, if that helps. Cheers

From the text I believe you can set the lower limit (-3dB) of your Mains. However I can't seem to find where to do that. Can anyone help?
