Mine turned up today, will be spending some time today setting up and then have the weekend for demoing!
Thanks for all the advice!

Hi All,
Possibly a stupid question but I am setting up my MP-40 and Yamaha for the first time and it is something I havent done before (seems somewhat more complex than my Denon 8500!). I think I am nearly there but I have previously plugged my SVS sub into my Denon 8500 using a single RCA cable. It looks like it needs to go into the MP-40 with the same XLR cables I have used for everything else. I will order a new XLR cable but until it arrives (so I can play now!) can I still use a RCA cable to plug the sub into the MP-40, I cant figure out where it would go............
Cheers!
I had the MP-60 in my home and cannot recommend it for upward firing speakers.I've got an MP-40 on order and have just read the user guide, I have a couple of Dolby Atmos upward firing speakers set on top of my front L&R mains but I couldn't see an obvious description for these in the Lyngdorf speaker types, any pointers?
Also do you guys recommend using the onscreen TV user menu or the Web interface via a laptop for ease of set up or does it not make any difference?
I’ve never used up firing speakers but I thought you simply select as if they were top speakers in the set up? Sounds like something not right in your set up as opposed to the processor.I had the MP-60 in my home and cannot recommend it for upward firing speakers.
I wasn't able to get any sound from them except with Dolby Atmos or the Dolby upmixer.
With DTS:X, Neural:X or Auro the output is always x.x.0.
I don't think that there is something wrong in my setup. When you switch from top speakers to normal height speakers in the setup it just works. Lyngdorf said that it is normal that there is no sound with up firing speakers, because it's in the codec from DTS. When you ask me, that doesn't sound right and it's a bug they are not willing to fix.I’ve never used up firing speakers but I thought you simply select as if they were top speakers in the set up?

You would get sound from them, yes. But that's not a solution in my opinion. The delays and everything would be just wrong. The processor has to take into account that the sound is reflected from the ceiling. I really can't understand, why Lyngdorf says this is working as intended. Even the manual says you will get sound from ALL attached speakers with the upmixers.So you just fudge it by setting them to front height speakers?
The Lyngdorf has a setting for them too. They just don't work with DTS and Auro. For a processor in this price range that's just stupid.Agreed that’s what I was thinking on the delays, I don’t understand it, upward firing Dolby Atmos speakers are hardly a new thing and an entry level Denon AVR has a speaker type setting for them and associated processing.
Let's exclude room correction for now.
Yes I have an Anthem in one room and Lyngdorf in the other. Anthem is good, Lyngdorf is another league.Hello All,
I am in the process of making my decision on upgrading the AV processor in the cave, it is currently an Anthem MRX720 with Anthem power amps and Martin Logan speakers. It sounds outstanding so stepping up is difficult and after some research I believe the next step up is Lyngdorf. I wonder if anyone had the chance to compare the Anthem sound to the MP40-60? Let's exclude room correction for now.
Thanks
Thank you. That's without room correction? I know RP is another world altogether.Yes I have an Anthem in one room and Lyngdorf in the other. Anthem is good, Lyngdorf is another league.

Yep.Thank you. That's without room correction? I know RP is another world altogether.
Thats why he has a trinnov?@mb3195 is your man to ask he's been through them all

Hi mrapbp ;just for the future[ cables through walls etc] if you have a xlr rca adapter you wont need a new cable just something like this female out and your rca cableI think I am nearly there but I have previously plugged my SVS sub into my Denon 8500 using a single RCA cable.
