More information about yamaha receiver
i have owned a yamaha receiver for about a year and love it. my primary use is for music playback. great sound nice features. read the detailed description (before u buy) if u want to use hdmi inputs/output, recently a lot customer give there comment about this reciever:
Yamaha receiver good sound and a lot of customizing options for the price. There are a lot of people may not know much about the machine right Yamaha receiver, so i would like to write a blog to let more customer have a deep understanding of Yamaha receiver!
After booting into the hard drive, VFD display panel on the power lights after 2 ~ 3 seconds will light up, wait about 30 seconds to display the main menu selection interface, which may be required to boot the machine self-test for each of the reasons, there is no one can do a boot to enter the work on the state. In this selection interface, there are five options, from left to right are the hard disk playback, USB playback, network settings, satellite TV set with system settings. it's very easy to operate the Yamaha receiver
Of course, first step is to enter the system settings, also you can come to our website to download the software of the Yamaha receiveruse the cursor to the right selection key to press to confirm, you can enter the system settings there are three options can be set.
The first set of audio output, audio output can be set in the DPCM data stream or raw data stream, usually can be set for DPCM data stream, because this is most of the devices are able to identify the digital audio signal; such as setting the In the original data stream, they need through the fiber or coaxial / HDMI cable output to an external amplifier with a decoder to decode. Of course, users with this amplifier can be set to the original data, so be able to enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS of the original juice original flavor of the audio signal of Yamaha receiver, and now most of all high-definition movies with Dolby Digital audio, and DTS, the user accompanied by a corresponding power amplifier and speakers you can hear the sound of the cinema.
Then the output can be set is 2-channel or 5.1 channel output, if only to do with display channels, it can be set to 2 channel output, the use of a 5.1-channel amplifier to make channel output, it can be Set 5.1-channel output. due to not take power amplifier, I would only set a two-channel output.
In the next-generation audio output settings on the optional Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and other next-generation 7.1-channel amplifier, such with multiple HDMI input / output and 7.1 channel decoding amplifier now there are many options, such as the Onkyo, Tenryu, Yamaha receiver, Marantz and so on. If users have such a power amplifier, select the audio output of next-generation open, choose the effect of such amplifier is the best course, especially when you look at some shoot-large, its lossless 7.1-channel surround sound to bring the shock of sound, just like went to the site of stimulation in general to experience 360-degree surround the ear.
The second for the video output settings, according to the use of the display device to select where a video output interface, the output image signals.
In the VGA option is set, there are 11 different resolutions for users to choose from 640v480 60Hz to 1920 ?1200 60Hz, including 1280 ?1024 as 75Hz, which of course depends on your monitor can support to such a high resolution and refresh rate.
Optional HDMI cable TV connection, as long as the display resolution support 1080i, or 1080P, it can be set at 1080i or 1080P.
Machine in the physics and are not specifically RGB + HV and simulation of composite, component YpbPr signal output interface, but through VGA to transform, and its color component YpbPr signal can also be supported from 480P to 1080i.
The third set for the system : This one can be on the TV standard, TV shape, network settings, firmware upgrade, language settings (can be set up nine kinds of menu text), seamless playback on / off settings.
Through the machine's network settings, to play the advantages of local area network may be the company's server for multi-media resource sharing, a large number of high-definition video from the enjoyment of endless, but also in their own home to build their own local area network through the router, and computers multi-media resource sharing.
PC terminal to set a shared folder ? open DHCP ? set the router to identify and record the media shared folder where the PC's IP address, for example: 192.168.1.123 ? the media shared folder name to the English language or numbers, for example: Mcdia888 ? Guan want to share out the PC host firewall, able to do so by connecting to this machine's network interface to connect to another PC to determine whether the computer can access the shared folder, for example, Mcdia888 folder. sometimes if the yamaha receive can't search the ip address, then at this time you need to set the ip address by hand
yamaha satellite TV settings:
To enter the setup interface, select the network yamaha, will pop up a soft keyboard, set the PC side of the IP address and shared folder name, for example: / / 192.168.18.106/mcdia,, can use the soft keyboard on the Back to delete the default IP path, use the remote control up and down on the left cursor keys to select the appropriate letters or numbers to form wish to have access to IP path, select OK to confirm and exit. Select the network a static IP set up the machine IP address, such as: 192.168.18.108, or Select Network \ DHCP to automatically obtain IP address of the aircraft. press the return key on the remote control to return the main interface (returned to the main interface will be automatically saved just now setting), restart the machine, enter the main interface, select and enter the network options , and then select Samba you can see the PC side of the shared directory and access to one of the media file.
Yamaha receiver's firmware upgrade is very convenient, just go to their website to download the latest firmware (Firrnware), unzip and update.bin save the U disk, insert the machine's USB port, wait for the system boot into the main interface, use the remote control The return key to enter the system setup menu ? choose software \ program upgrade to 5 minutes or so, the system upgrade is completed and automatically restart.
Language settings, people of course, used to Simplified Chinese, although there are nine kinds of options. and this is according to our customer's requst, if they need more demand of the language, we can add their own language in the yamaha reciever
The aircraft has a seamless connectivity, enabling a seamless ts file playback, sub-seamless video playback, as long as the naming convention in line with seamless playback, whether to start playing from the first few paragraphs, can easily appreciate the integrity of the perfect a blockbuster movie, and can jump to full-length movies through the progress bar at any time of playback, this feature more than HTPC operation more convenient, and seamless fail to see any trace of that, truly zero-gap player, When using this feature, just in the menu choose "open" button, but in sub-class music programs broadcast MTV, Yamaha receiver's eamless obvious difference on some, whether this is related to the file naming names?
When the system setup is complete, you can start using the aircraft in the TV function is to open the surface and transmit television programs and in line with USB TV stick can be used, have little practical meaning, in this will not go into the aircraft in the There are 2 USB input interface can be used to play music or browse pictures, but primarily with the hard look at high-definition movies, concerts, films and so on scenery.
In the main interface, each one is the hard disk playback, press button to confirm the hard disk can be read out within the media file information. so you can see Yamaha receiver is different of other dreambox
To learn to play the file information, according to information on the remote control button, it will pop up interface that displays the current playing file name, file size, play mode, packaging format, output mode, play time (real-time playback time and program length) , resolution, video and audio encoding format of Yamaha receiver
Machine for the external power supply, used by the three Chinese laborers came to crown-sat. produced by SAWA-01-408 switching power supply, the output DC DC12V, current of 4.16A, a larger design margin, and with the anti-jamming Magnet , the player machines, larger space, and use built-in 12V cooling fan, even in the summer, but also be able to work, the author working in the environmental temperature of 25 ?C during 4 hours of continuous use, Figure smooth playback sound are normal.
Play effect: on the market today can buy the hard drive high-definition player playback quality similar, because most of the main chip used SMP8635, so its basic functions are also almost the same, The difference is the production process, exterior design, material differences between the brand and part of the software development capabilities, quality, and colorful and a clear degree of sophistication the main decisions taken in the program to produce the level of the source itself, but also with the display device related to this film offers few real plans.
The overall impression of the Yamaha receiver
The yamaha's actual power consumption measurements: the use of MF-79 AC 250mA current file string into the switching power supply in the measurement, when in standby 30mA, power dissipation of 6.6W; after boot, not into the hard disk, up to 85mA, power consumption of 18.7W; into the hard drive is not playing, up to 125mA, power consumption is 27.5W; enter the play state, up to 145mA, power consumption of 31.9W, than to use a computer to play should be saving much more. which the hard drive power consumption to account for 13.2W, even if the hard drive does not play enter the sleep state, but also consumes 8.8W, therefore, when not playing, do not have to put the hard disk.
The use of more than a month after the feeling: E-SHD3000 easy to enjoy high-definition player play is easy and simple, work stable, although poor individual will be broadcast decoding, there crash or silent, but the overall play has been satisfactory. Chassis side frames white flip left and right at the top though with magnet, but separated by a layer of coating plastic, the basic no longer suction, touched on the down turn, hoping the follow-up the production process manufacturers technical updates, complete hardware and software, and continue to reduce costs, universal home as soon as possible.
On the terminal display device
With the HDTV high-definition signal source and the players, their quality is good or bad is ultimately through the display to reflect, so buying a high-quality HDTV display is crucial, I suggest that you can now vote, LCD flat-panel, plasma flat-panel you need to select the TV, as rear projection and CRT terminal display devices do not have to taken into account, as in the end buy what size? What brand? What screen? Or should be based on individual economic capacity, play environment, personal hobbies, etc. to consider. I propose to look at listen contrast, in the technical performance indicators should be selected with high technological content, the physical interface should not little more, especially satellite TV interface should not be less than 3 way.
