It is a great unit. My current choice if I was upgrading tomorrow. I would recommend using the Search function. Many post about that receiver. The common negative relates to the Windows Media Player integration.

 

[Hi Ho]

I own the 2700 and I couldn't be happier with it. The only negative, as Taskmaster said, is the rather clunky interface for streaming music off a PC.

I've had my 2700 for several months now; VERY pleased with it.

I should have spent the extra money and bought the2700, insted I got the 2600, I never opened the box and it is now for sale. The place I bought wants a 20% restocking fee.

What's wrong with the 2600?

Thanks everyone.Picked up a 2700 yesterday.Started to hook it up last nite and will finish it today after work which seems to always get in the way.Also bought a set of BW 602 s3 for listening to music.Thank again

I loved the B&W 602's when I auditioned them a few months back. My purchase is on hold, but the 602's were near the top of the list. Enjoy!

Amazing.The 2700 sounds great ,love all the features.The only disapointment is slowness of the network menu.The B&W's sound wonderful[need to save and complete the system with them].Thanks everyone

Have been impressed with 2700 so far in most aspects except for three:

1.The HDMI i/o are vertically mounted and fall out easily.

2. The "Network receiver" portion sucks. After 2 weeks of frustration, I gave up and bought a Squeezebox.

3. The GUI will not overlay ontop of an HDMI video source. Not a big deal in itself, but it's annoying as it stumbles and flickers from GUI to video source and back. This also happens with the Net/USB menus as well.

On the plus side, the GUI is well laid out, and easy to navigate. The amps are a good match for my Klipsch and the soundfields have come a long way from my original 13 yr old RXV1050.

For my budget I'd still get the 2700.

Good morning.Just watched the video on the 2700 from the CES show.Where is this "compressed music enhancer"found in the receiver.The yamaha rep in the videio says that you turn it on in the interview.I don't see it in the menu or the manual unless it is called somethig else.Thanks

It's on page 54.

 

[Hi Ho]

There is an "Enhancer" button on the remote.

is it just me or does the 2700 only have 6ch inputs? (the rx-v659 has 8)

Mr.Al

Hello everybody!

Could you help me to setup back surraund speakers in the my Yammi 2700.
When I'm trying to do it throu Manual Setup, I can't chang status of these speakers frome "None" to "Small". Even I have no access into this window.

Thanks in advance

 

[Nick250]

Perhaps it is a two step operation. First set your surrounds from "none" to "yes", then set them to "small". On some receivers if you have the front speakers set to small the surrounds can only be set to "small". Check your manual on this.

It's a little confusing if you are looking at the back panel. There's a set of multi-channel inputs. If you are inputting 6 channel inputs, that's all you use.

If you need 8-channels, you need to use those in combination with the L/R's on one of the inputs and you need to assign that input to multi-channel via the GUI.

Same deal with the 1600, read the owners manual and it will explain how to set it up for 8 ch inputs.
