Q: QuestionI already have one Yamaha amp with MusicCast. Will this receiver act like a receiver and play other speakers?

Asked 6 years ago by MusicCast.

• A:Answer Yes - that is the purpose of the musiccast functionality. The speakers you connect to this new receiver will be a new audio zone within your house. You name the zone whatever you want, so that you can identify where those speakers are located. Once connected, you can play your music on one or both zones, or play different things in each of the zones.

Q: Questioncan I record from my tv to dvd disc's?

Asked 6 years ago by cheryl.

• A:Answer The YAMAHA RX-V485BL 5.1CH AVR is an audio/video receciver. It does not provide a recording function. It transmits audio and video signals from various devices (DVD player, cable box, Apple TV, etc.) to a TV input. In order to record to a DVD disc, you would need a DVD recording device and an antenna to provide the video signal.

Q: QuestionIs this receiver compatible with 3D TVs?

Asked 6 years ago by 3D.

• A:Answer Yes all receivers support 3D as it's just ignored by the receiver and passed through. HDCP 2.2 for UHD TVs is another matter and there are still some compatibility issues there as well as with CEC and ** connecting a HD receiver to a UHD TV. You must connect the TOS Optical and HDMI (ARC) ports.

Q: QuestionCan this receiver work with component audio and video cable? I have an older projection television as well as an older dvd player.

Asked 6 years ago by Tim7.

• A:Answer This A/V receiver does NOT have component (YPbPr) video inputs. Video can only be input via higher-quality HDMI input or lower-quality composite video input. Most all newer video devices (cable boxes, satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, UHD players, media players, etc.) use only HDMI these days. Some really old devices (Wii game consoles, VCRs, etc.) use composite video and some older DVD players use composite video.

Q: QuestionI am connected to my Direct tv box and can hear/see it. But when I switch to am/fm, tv display goes away. I can’t listen to tv and tuner at same time? I still want the option to switch to HDMI and listen to game on receiver . Please help. Game week

Asked 6 years ago by Lamkin.

• A:Answer Some higher-end A/V receivers have the option to mix-and-match audio and video inputs but more basic models like this one do not. Even on those that do, you usually have to dive down into a menu system to make these assignments - it isn't all that simple. And since most of the time you're likely to want to listen to the audio input from the same device as the video input, you would have to swap back and forth each time you wanted to listen to the radio or not while watching the TV.
