Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Where I am at today

The receiver will pass comp signals from the DVD player on all comp inputs and that is what keeps baffling me. I would think if it was stuck some how it wouldn't pass any signal.

The reason I was wondering about cables is that the monsters go on tight and the space between inputs is even tighter. My hand slipped off of them and jerked the wire that goes into the plug. On a visual observation the cable looks fine when the barrel is unscrewed.

I have treated the receiver with loving care as it is amazingly musical, the new flagship Denon's/Pioneer/BK's can beat it for home theater, but for 2 chanell music.... I don't know, the Yammy sounds good and the 5803 just didn't impress me (YMMV). And the cables have only been unplugged maybe 4 times total before this mess started.

I picked up a new cable system for the xbox (since it is high def and the difference is noticeable using just Svid) and still no luck.

The only cable option I have for the video games is monster cable or stock and as such I went with monster at the time. I do have to say that I have been pretty pleased with the Monster video cables, especially when you get into the Z series.

So up to now the AA board is baffled. I have had two friends over to help and they were baffled. I've called Yamaha and they were baffled. Called the dealer that sold me the receiver and their tech was baffled. He put me in touch with another tech that told me Yammy has had some problems with their comp video inputs and cards, but how it still works with the DVD didn't make sense to him (or anyone). He did say that he would replace the video board and inputs as that is really all it could be at this point.

So on Monday I am going to drop off the receiver and have the inputs and board replaced. Just hope it goes quick as I can go with out home theater for a week or two but can't live without music.

Again you guys - thanks for the help.

Jeff
