You can always get a video switch or a media extender. It depends on if you can run cables or if you need the video/audio sent wirelessly. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/second-zone-for-receiver#post-55 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:36:18 +0000 Riley Storm 55@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>The receiver I just bought, Denon AVR-1609, doesn't have a mult-zone video output. If I want to add that feature one day, what can I do? Do I need a new receiver? </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/switching-between-blu-ray-and-htpc#post-48 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 20:50:23 +0000 matto 48@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>It might be a driver issue. I've heard that some of the new Nvidia drivers have issues since they adjust for overscanning, but it also messes with the HDMI video signal </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/switching-between-blu-ray-and-htpc#post-47 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 01:57:31 +0000 wearhark 47@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>When I switch between a movie I'm playing on my Blu-ray player to the HTPC, I get a a black screen on the HTPC. Is there a way to fix this? I usually just restart the HTPC, but I shouldn't have to. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/denon-avr-1609-or-yamaha-rx-v465#post-30 Sun, 31 May 2009 23:46:35 +0000 malarky 30@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I only need 5.1. I don’t even have a blu-ray player yet, but I’m thinking the 4 HDMI inputs could be important one day if get a blu-ray player or something else that needs it one day. The Yamaha also has more power output so I think I’ll go with the Yamaha. Will let everyone know how it goes. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/denon-avr-1609-or-yamaha-rx-v465#post-29 Sun, 31 May 2009 22:48:34 +0000 mrHTN 29@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I don’t have any experiences with these two models, but I did notice the Denon receiver doesn’t have DTS-HD MA decoding capability, but it does have Dolby TruHD. This might not be a problem for you if your blu-ray player or HTPC decodes the surround sound.<br /> In the end, its what is important to you. The Yamaha has 4 HDMI inputs while the Denon only has 2. However, the Denon has 7.1 surround sound and external 7.1 analog inputs while the Yamaha is limited to 5.1. Are you going to use the external inputs one day? Does your home theater have 7.1? </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/denon-avr-1609-or-yamaha-rx-v465#post-28 Sun, 31 May 2009 21:10:05 +0000 malarky 28@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I'm debating between the <a href="http://hometheaternetwork.pgpartner.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=85662217/st=product_tab">Denon 1609</a> or <a href="http://hometheaternetwork.pgpartner.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=714088252/st=product_tab">Yamaha V465</a>. The Yamaha is about $100 more expensive so I’m sure if its worth it. Does anyone have any experiences with any of these? I’m not looking for a fancy receiver. I mostly just want surround sound. Any input would be appreciated. </p>
