I have a couple of questions that I doubt anyone on the Yamaha technical support line will bother to help me with and was wondering if anyone hear might be able to help...
1) I run my Main speakers from the Outputs (not pre-out?!) on the Yam to my Nad C370 amp. I find that I have to turn the volume level up to 12 o'clock on the stereo amp to get the correct volume on the front L&R channels when I'm listening to anything in surround. This is pretty irritating, especially if I forget to turn it down when I turn on the CD player (typically played at 8 1/2 o'clock). Is there anyway that I can set the 'norm' volume for the Main speakers at this latter level when I want to use surround sound? I have tried altering the ratios between the speakers and I have tried changing the volume of the channels, but a -20db doesn't make the slightest difference - 8 1/2 to 12 o'clock is a lot of noise to make up.
2) I've managed to set the Toshiba manufacturer code for the TV into my amp's remote. Even though I've tried all the possible codes, I still can't get the Input Selector to work - it just brings up channel 00. This means I still need the TV remote, but only for one button. Is there any way around this?
3) Unsurprisingly there are no manufacturer codes for amps in the Yamaha manual. I would like to be able to use my NAD stereo amp with the av-amp remote. Would this be possible and where would I be able to find the manufacturer code?
Any help with the above would be much appreciated! I haven't had as much trouble as some setting this system up, but if I could sort out these relatively minor problems, it would be great.
Thanks, Pete
