When running my Xbox360 via component wires to this receiver and then via HDMI to my Samsung LNS4692D HDTV the picture is darkened. I paid $750 for this receiver through amazon in October 2006. The remote could really use some backlighting. Thought about going up to the $1500 price point but realized I didnt need the added functionality. I decided to just leave the Xbox360 connected straight to the HDTV via component and run the digital audio to the receiver.
They are all poorer for not incorporating this idea.3. Volume readout text is too small. This complaint shouldnt be lessoned by the fact that many remotes suffer this same design oversight. This makes a huge difference in games like Gears of War and Call of Duty 3 where the scenes are already dark. When I run the Xbox360 straight to my Samsung LNS4692D HDTV the picture is less dark (preferred).
As it is I cant actually read the number from where I sit.2. I am happy with this receiver and my Home Theater sounds great coupled with my Axiom Epic Grandmaster Speaker setup. WOuld be nice to have larger text so I could actually see what level I use for different listening situations. This issue wouldnt allow me to run "just one cable" (the whole idea of HDMI) to my TV. A few complaints, 2 of them rather minor.1.
Yamaha needs to look into this issue and figure out why going from component to HDMI darkens the picture.
