    yamaha cr-640 vs soundesign 5466

    today i got a lot of two receivers, a yamaha cr-640, and a soundesign 5466, for $15, which one is better? the soundesign feels lighter and cheaper despite it having an 8-track in it and no vents, and the yamaha feels like it will break your foot if you drop it despite having vents and no 8-track. which one should i keep? is the weight a good sign that the yamaha is better? i haven't had a chance to go get some speakers to hear for myself.
    Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

    Excuse me while i do something dangerous


    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

    YAMAHA.
    The soundesign with 8-TRACK? They are junk form the 70's, fixed many of these junk. Look to see if it has the output rating with the word like instant peak to peak output over 100W. They made a lot of compact units with 8-TRACK and with BSR turn table on top with big output rating claim.
    YAMAHA: good unit. You can get free owner and service manuals.

        Yamaha RX-V485 Wn9711 Update

        Help Needed: Yamaha RX-V485 Network Issue After Firmware Update (WN9711 Error)

        Hi everyone,

        I'm facing an issue with my Yamaha RX-V485 receiver. During a firmware update, the process failed, and now the USB, Bluetooth, and network functionalities are not working. Occasionally, the receiver displays the error code WN9711.

        I came across Yamaha Technical Bulletin No. 0103, which describes a similar issue for models like the RX-V4A, RX-V6A, and RX-A2A. According to the bulletin, the issue can be resolved by shorting soldering points (e.g., J260 for RX-V4A or...

        Yamaha RX V675 sound issues
        by jjne
        I have an old Yamaha RX V675 receiver which is starting to develop issues with the sound, although it doesn't quite match up with what folk normally report with these.

        From cold, the sound cuts in and out. When this happens the amp is losing sync with the optical input (speaker graphic disappears from the front panel). But this is not resolved by putting the unit into pure direct mode. After a couple of minutes this resolves, although there are occasional clicks from the speakers after that.

        At first I thought it was either a speaker relay or the DSP, but I don't think...

        YAMAHA CLP-550 without of sound
        by AlexVG
        Hi.
        I have an old YAMAHA CLP-550 without sound. (Some times I can get some kind of noise or distorted sound)
        I have replaced all green marked elements, but it gave me nothing.
        The IC12 chip LC9116A-105 (red marked) remains under suspicion yet.

        But it is custom YAMAHA's chip, and I can't find any information about it.
        Maybe somebody came across with the same issue?
        Any information will be very useful. I will be very appreciated.
        Thank you....

        Yamaha RX-A1020 full dead
        by hemant_2222
        Hello Everyone,

        Greetings!

        It has been very long time that I opened up my garage again because I got something that I could not stop myself and this time I have a Yamaha RX-A1020 super powerful (at least from inside structure 😉 ) AV receiver. When this unit came to me this Saturday it was full of dust and what not but the standby LED blinked when pressed and power relay clicked once but no display. It worked 3 times after normal reset like other Yamaha receivers and then again it had to be unplugged to get his behavior back. I opened everything and cleaned it up and...

        My yamaha Rxv-485 showing version error
        by sanalelevenstar
        My friends Yamaha RXv-485 receiver has stopped communicating on network and Bluetooth, we decided to make a firmware update from USB stick but after a while it comes up with the message "unknown".... Its the latest 1.87 version we are trying to load and it seems like the is no firmware in it at the moment as it does not state the old version ?

        Any ideas how to resolve this issue?​
