When did Yamaha start making these?

:drool:
 
I can see getting the CX but the MX specs are terrible. For the price of the MX, I could buy 4 P2200 and still have money left over to do a full refurbish (maybe 4 M2s) and that would get me 7.1 sound.
 
Not the most attractive to look at, once again (taste cannot be argued:D), BUT who cares......................I will take Yamahas´ "Natural Sound" any day, specially in this case, it seems like this is "Natural Sound" on steroids......:D

Ps

I am sure we get them in silver here on the other side of the big Pond.....
 
I struggle to understand why anyone wants more than 2 or 2.1 channels, but why on earth would someone want 11?

Biamped or triamped mains, rear surrounds, center channel, small subwoofers, powered zone 2, powered zone 3, DTS 5.1 recordings, 5/7/9 channel "stereo" mode....lots of options depending on source and room(s).

I wonder why anyone would want to be limited to 2 or 2.1 :D

Of course you are only 1 button push away from running in 2-channel stereo :thmbsp:
 
Anyone have one of these processors and has upgraded from an Aventage AVR? I am thinking about making that move. Any noticeable differences?
 
Anyone own a MX-A5000? Have you ever tried to understand the diagnostic error code?
 
The unit does not have a LCD or other display. Yamaha use/flash the power on
lamp to communicate diagnostic information. If the amp is in protection, then
at subsequent p-on, the lamp will either flash 3,4,5 or 6 times corresponding
to Thermal/OLV, DC protect, I, PS protect respectively, see sm pg 25.

The sm also explains how to read the protection history, the information is
presented in binary form where a full power flash = 1, no illumination = 0
and dim (33%) illumination is used as a data separator. The dim, dim
sequence indicates end of field, start of next field. You basically need
to count the number of full power flashes for each field, this then corresponds
to the value of that field.

The information is formatted according to the table on page 28, ie, history
number, type of protection, speaker relay state,,,

Working through the lamp sequence beneath this table,
start
dim=start data
bright=1
dim=separator
dim= end field, start next field
Interpretation: Field 1 (History Number) has the value 1.


bright=1
dim=separator
bright=2
dim=separator
bright=3
dim=separator
bright=4
dim=separator
dim= end field, start next field
Interpretation: Field 2 (type of protection) has the value 4(PS1).


off=0
dim=separator
dim= end field, start next field
Interpretation: Field 3 (Speaker relay state) has the value 0(off).


bright=1
dim=separator
bright=2
dim=separator
dim= end field, start next field
Interpretation: Field 4 (Data upper half word/8 bits) has the value 2.


bright=1
dim=separator
bright=2
dim=separator
:
bright=15
dim=separator

dim= end field, start next field
Interpretation: Field 5 (Data lower half word/8 bits) has the value 15.

combining Data 4 and 5 results in H'2F (=47), note 15=hexadecimal "F"

bright=1
dim=separator
off=end
Interpretation: Field 6 has the value 1.
