I picked up a used RX-V1000 recently. I was looking for a new receiver that had at least 5.1 preouts, a little more headroom than I had previously had, and the capability to safely drive down below 8ohms. This Yammy really seemed to fit the bill. Unfortunately it took a bit of a bump in transit. So, when I turned it on for the first time and hooked up my 8-ohm Tritrix MTMs to it, it shut down when it got to -55db. I was quite dismayed, and per the manual, checked that all my speaker wire connections were not crossed or shorted. Everything looked good, so as a check I tried hooking up to the "B" main speaker outputs. They worked great, as did the center and rear surrounds. Watched Wall-E last night, nice and loud and it sounded great... but I still want my "A" mains. Any ideas or similar circumstances?

Most likely, when transported, something came loose and is shorting out inside the unit. Only way to know is to open it up and look around. You might be out of luck and have to just continue with the B posts to use it. The A and B serve no real difference than to sets of posts for passive bi-amping or connecting two different sets of speakers (like in another room that you only play with music).Digital Audio makes me Happy.

For kicks, I added "Quantum Leap" to my holiday wish list, and people bought the first 2 seasons for me, so I'll... -

Hi guys
the sensitivity on the 803s and the 802d is reportedly the same (~ 90dB), yet, I can definitely say that my comfort listening loudness has changed from 55dB with the 803s (classe cp700 stereo pre amp dial) to about 58-60dB with the 802d. same amplification and cables ( all balanced... -
