I really loved last year's RX-V463, but I had to return it because of the dark picture problem that resulted from running my PS3 via HDMI through the 463. It produced a picture that was darker than normal on my TV. Adjusting brightness and contrast had no effect on the picture. Other people in other online forums reported the same problem. As far as I know, the cause of the problem was never really discovered with any certainty.

I'm hoping the problem has been solved on this year's 465. I've been a Yamaha receiver fan for years and would really like to purchase a 465 if I knew for sure that this problem won't appear again.

Does anyone on this forum have any insight into the problem or its possible correction?

I was just wondering if the HDMI inputs in these models are 1.3 or not? I just don't see that in the specs anywhere. Also, does anyone know what upscaling chip is being used?

All of the models that have Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio decoders must have HDMI 1.3. See the FAQ page on the HDMI.org web site for more information on HDMI versions and features.

OK. I received my RX-V465 today. I'm very pleased to see that the dark picture via PS3 that the 463 suffered from has been fixed! In addition to running my PS3 (via HDMI) through the 465, I have my DirecTV HD DVR connected via optical cable.

The new display definitely looks white to me, not blue. Regardless of color, the larger letters on the display are easier to read from across the room. Also, I really kind of like the spring clips for the center and surround speakers. I know they're "cheaper", but they also make it much easier to connect the speaker wire. I think I'm getting lazy and less fussy in my old age.

Are you going to have a chance to take a few pics HTG?

Just ordered the Yamaha RX-V465 yesterday from Audioholics! It'll be my first Yamaha AVR and it's going into my master bedroom. Been meaning to upgrade my Denon AVR-3805 in the HT room, but I'm too lazy/broke.

I ordered mine last Sunday. I called yesterday too check up on it and was told they had sold out the first shipment and that a new shipment would be in today and mine should ship tomorrow

thanks for a great write up....


how is the actual power from the unit; is it clean and old Yamaha sounding or is it more "sony" sounding?
