Q: Is this caramel-like goo inside the receiver and on top of a component normal?
A: Received a response from Yamaha within 24 hours "It is a potting epoxy that is used in the construction to stop vibration. It is applied by hand and normal."
A: Each channel is rated at 165 watts RMS per channel into 6 ohms, 20 Hz – 20kHz with no more than 0.06% THD. But that's only with two channels driven - not all nine. The maximum device power consumption is 490 watts, which puts a significant limit on the power available when driving speakers with all 9 channels. Typically in a 7.1 surround sound system, your front 3 speakers will use the bulk of the available power. Frankly, this level of power isn't sufficient do drive nine speakers - not in a system at this price point. Clearly the intent is to add a separate stereo amplifier to drive the left and right front speakers, leaving the Yamaha to drive the center, surround, back and elevation speakers.
Q: What is the distance between the front of the front foot and the back of the rear foot?
A: On my Yamaha RX-A 3080 the distance from the front of the front leg to the back of the back leg is 14 in. Hope this was helpful Old Willie
A: It’s designed for a 7.2.4 configuration but there are only 9 internal amps, and the configurations are hardwired and limited. Also, total power is shared among the internal amplifiers. Obviously you will need to add a stereo amplifier and definitely should opt to add it for the left and right front channels. Put another hundred watts into EACH of those and you’ll have a decent power distribution. You can further improve the power output by adding more external amps (eg. the center channel) but the choice of how is limited. I think the elevation speaker amplification must be either all internal or all external. I have two external stereo amps and wanted to use them for the front and front elevation speakers, but that isn’t one of the supported configurations.
A: undefined
Q: Does this receiver pass through a 4K video signal through all HDMI inputs, or only certain ones?
A: undefined
Q: Has this receiver a AM/FM radio feature
A: YES - it comes with one of those wire antenna we have pinned to the back of the credenza that houses ours.
Q: does the unit offer 12 volt power on off to synchronize with Panamax switching units
A: Yes, it has a 12v trigger if that’s what your asking.
