I think I will have to take back my advice. Yesterday I connected a pair of power hungry 4 ohm, 88db Polk speakers with 3 drivers 'each' to the fronts and operated for nearly 3.5 hrs non-stop. Music videos (which would need continuous driving of the speakers) were played on moderate and above volumes. Though the unit became slightly warmer (very mild) than normal, it was absolutely fine. Its clear that impedance is not flat at any fixed value, rather a curve which mostly lies above the nominal rated impedance. A 4 ohm speaker has resistance of 8 ohm or more for majority of the frequency range. It seems that 4 ohm speakers in reality does not draw more than 10-15% additional current of a 8 ohm speaker.

Can you post a picture?I have set it to decoder to ensure if I am getting correct Bitstream.In pure direct mode the screen shuts of & that is another option.
sorry to intervene in this thread but I saw some stock of RX-V373 at Hypercity Malad.
this happened while I was searching for some stocks of RX-V673 in Mumbai. still scanning the market right now ....
Any thoughts on either of above would be much appreciated.

Since then I did connect the 4 Ohm center channel to the receiver, although they are positively tiny compared to quality center speakers.
Its been playing just fine, and amp has not shown any sign of stress or even remote discomfort.
I plan to buy a VFM center speaker soon though.
There is no audio output from "A/V OUT" (analog) of the AVR when HDMI is in use. I could not see any setting to change it. How to enable it, any idea guys?
EDIT: on 471
I have faced the same issue and did not really get a solution, so had to rewire my setup as kind of a workaround.

I have a yamaha RX-V473 can you guys tell me what is the use of the network port at the back?
I also have it . The use of the LAN port is to play music content from your server . Connect it to your router/Laptop and it will play the music on you Laptop HDD or media server . Two ways to do it - normal media server or airplay exclusive for i ( apple ) devices .
It will not play video from it .
You can also do firmware upgrade it connected to internet but its not recommended . Use the front usb port for this .
AV Controller app can be used to control it from android/iphone

Android phones not only controls the AVR but you can even play songs through them. Airplay is not just restricted to iphones. Download Yamaha AV controller app on android phone, connect the lan cable to AVR and on the same internet connection switch on wifi for android phone and then you are good to go.
Other use of LAN is you can play internet radio from your AVR, mainly international FM stations. You can even control these international stations from your android phone. It's amazing.
Have not been successful yet how to stream songs from my laptop on AVR through server connection. Any help?

for that you need to have a software which makes your laptop a media server like xmbc , playon , mediamonkey etc

Programmed the AVR remote to control TV & DVDP also. Now only 2 R/C to handle- AVR & D2H. So no spend for a URC for me.

How did you do that? plz share with us. My AVR remote control only controls my media player and not TV. HDMI control is enabled on my TV and AVR both.

Put AVR `on' and TV on standby. Press set up button on top right of R/C. Press TV on/off button on the R/c ( bottom right corner). Punch oo38 on the R/C. Green Indicator blinks twice. you are on! Now If the TV is on Standby, you can use Yamaha R/C for the TV also. All TV controls are at the bottom portion.

Code 0038 which I mentioned is for Sony TV only. Check the CD you got with the AVR. Codes are there for all major brands AV. Otherwise I'll check at home and let you know.

Set-up to be pressed on which R/C. Sony or Yamaha? Also there's no setup button on top right of Yamaha R/C.
please throw some light.

The `hole' above the on/off button is for setup. Press it with a pencil/matchstick. Indicator will blink. The move ahead.
