i am having Wharfedale 9.2 set. Marantz 6003 Cd and Norge 1000. now i am intrested in home thetre and want to use present speakers as front. buy yamaha 671 as AV receiver and wharfedale center speaker.
please suggest for subwoofer for the system. my room size is 14'x12'. latter i am planning to have a dedicated room for the home theater.
my preference is 60 % music and 40 % movies. My budget is 25 to 30k for the Subwoofer.
i don't love boomy sound at all. Sharp and punchy bass is all what is needed. will i be right with Yamaha for the present set of speakers?

After a lot of research, i have decided to go with Polk Audio PSW505 from amazon.com.
is it the right combination or should i opt for a different one?

This will mate well with the Wharfs and the AVR will be able to drive it easily. Note that this is a 12 inch sub so you need to place it carefully so as not become very boomy. Its a good sub however.

Hi Guys: Didnt want to start a new thread. I want to connect Tata sky to Yamaha 371 and then the sound to TV (through anlog output) and to Speakers through the speaker terminals. The question, for the sound to be passed on to the TV, the AVR needs to be on standby mode. Assuming nothing else is running in AVR or the volume of the AVR is kept nil, what is the power consumption of the AVR. Would it be 240w (actualy power consumption mentioned at the rear panel) or very nominal consumption since it is not performing anything apart from being on standby mode?
Thanks you.
Thanks you.
As per the manual it is 1 to 2 w max in standby pass thru. I have a 571 model and i use the standby pass thru.
Thanks

Hey when you say 'standby pass thru', I guess you mean switch on the AVR and select the TV mode, keep everything else to be zero, including volume.

AVR will be in Standby mode & no need to select anything.AVR will pass the video & audio from the last settings.
Pass thru feature is like switching on the power plug of the avr and you can see the red indicator glowing. You cant control any volume and all as the receiver is not switched on either the power button on the remote or receiver. This way the receiver consumes appx 1 to 2 w as per the manual and it allows you to change the inputs like switching from hdmi 1 to 2,3 av1,av2 etc.,
I use this feature and it works like a charm. I switch on the receiver only for playing either blu-ray disc or htpc. Normal tv watching it is just pass thru.
Hope this clarifies your doubts..
Thanks
Are you sure about 1 , 2w during pass thru stage? I think it is different from normal stand by and pass thru stand by. Also, do you think it is good to leave the AVR always in standby mode during normal TV viewing hours?
That info about max 2w consumption is correct as I use it for the same purpose. I have attached my PC's monitor to the AVR and the AVR is in standby mode for at least 12 hours a day. I switch it on only while watching movies or listening to music. Rest of the time the inbuilt speakers of the monitors suffice for normal net browsing/other computer applications.

Guys thanks for the info, but there seems to be some confusion around standby, with me. I don't think RX371 has anything called pass thru. There is standby button on the front panel, but after power is put and standby button is switched on, the setting for the last viewed source is activated. Say DVD Player. Everything seems to be 'active' only the sound is not there, as I've marked the 'Initial Volume' to -80 dbl (starting point of master volume). I'm not sure if it is actually in a standby mode (standby as in the way we understand for Desktops) and hence consume less power.
Please clarify. Thank you!

When passthrough is enabled, video and audio will be sent to the TV if AVR is in standby. This means you will hear audio from your TV speakers. Since you can see video when the AVR is in standby, the AVR is in passthrough mode. You can set a particular source for passthrough or the last used source.

I'm not connected thru HDMI. Digital Coaxial and Video cable directly to TV from set-top box. I checked the manual and it does talk about 1w consumption on standby. But back to square one, how to do I know its on Standby.
Whenever you switch off the AVR with your remote it goes in standby mode. If you see the red light on the top left corner then its in stand by.
