The impedance setting won't affect sound quality, aside from limiting output during high demand sections in the program. AH has an article about that setting.
Did you set the audio for the input being used for the TV sound to optical? You need to do that.
Connect the Yamaha to the network, preferably with an ethernet cable, find its IP address, open the browser in a computer and after entering the AVR's IP address, add /setup to see the full menu without needing to use the on screen or front of the AVR- it makes setup much easier and uses tabs to reveal different pages.
Hello, thanks for your response. I thought changing the impedance will pass high current to the connected speakers for them to output best sound quality as these pair of JBL Studio 630s does support it.
There is no such option in SONY A80L to select Optical. All it has is Audio 1, Audio 2 & PCM. And Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus & eArc either Off to Auto.
Unfortunately, I don’t have such long Ethernet cable but I am still fine with the on-screen menu options which Yamaha has made it quite user friendly.
Surprisingly, I saw a firmware update available today when I entered the setup option of this Yamaha amp. Bought way back in Sept 2018, till today the company offers firmware update support which is quite nice.
Now some audio dealer suggest that I should upgrade this old A/V Receiver to either Denon or Marantz Cinema 50 while another one who deals into speaker Floorstand said these Yamaha, Denon, Marantz all come in same range & are below average products when compared to NAD Power Amps when as he himself uses it while a 3rd person said this afternoon that there is absolutely no need to upgrade this present amp b’coz it is highly capable to drive these pair of JBL Studio 630 bookshelf speakers while he also agreed that I need to upgrade my existing HDMI Cable to the one that supports 4K, 8K and 48 Gigabits to get premium sound quality output.
Now in terms of an HDMI Cable, one audio dealer suggest me ProfiGold while other said that Profigold has become kind of an ordinary now & there are much better ones.
It’s all so very much confusing. I don’t known when shall I be able to achieve the best sound experience. I am also planning for an Emotiva Airmotiv XA2 - Two for Front Heights & Two for Surround Heights but then it’s a living room with a viewing distance from TV to seating position being of 12 feet, I feel too many speakers will just make lots of noise rather than experiencing the real sound effects, the purpose for which it will be purchased. It’s not a proper cinema room.
Also one audio dealer said the distance between both the bookshelf speakers is very less & I won’t be able to experience the best of the sound quality from these bookshelves then no matter how much expensive amp they are connected to. But the problem is that to the right is door opening & to the left is Dining table so where to place these pair of bookshelves to create an equal far distance between them?
