Hi there,
I just got a [-]new[/-]old receiver, Yamaha Rx-V765. I found that its preouts have very low output. For example, I need to give my sub a full turn on its gain control in order to get some bass. At that setting I would expect full earthquake + broken windows but I only get very gentle bass suitable for 11pm...
The sub has no problem at all. I swapped cables/connectors and it is the same.
So I hooked up a pair of active speakers to the Front preouts and again, for a reasonable volume I need to use the full gain as before.
Tried all the preouts (there are 8 of them), all seems to have low output.
To compare, I put my active speakers (gain set to 10 o'clock) to the line-out of the receiver and it was outputting good volume with receiver volume -20dB.
Put the active speakers (gain set to 10 o'clock) back to front pre-out, I can only get to a reasonable volume by setting my receiver's volume to +10dB
I would believe the receiver is faulty, considering the fact its pre-outs were hardly pre-amp'd?? In fact they are probably down-amp'd?? The preouts are rated 1V/1.2kOhm and line-outs are rated 200mV/1.2kOhm.
Before start shouting to my reseller, do you mind sharing some ideas
Thanks a lot!
