If you call J&R electronics directly they will still honor the special call in price. No tax and free shipping outside of NY.

Return policy

What is the return policy at these places?

 

[GlocksRock]

not sure, you can check their website of give them a call, but the recievers come with a 2 year factory warranty, so I'm happy enough with that, and the receivers are solid, so I see no reason to return them.

What is the return policy at these places?

I believe they are an authorized Yamaha dealer so that shouldn't be an issue. It comes with a 2 year warranty and at the price sold it would probably be more cost effective just to buy new equipment if it breaks after the warranty period is up.

I know the 663 is oft-recommended here, but it appears it clips the HDMI video signal. My guess is that this concern is probably over-rated for most, maybe even FUD, but its just something to know about, or research to be sure.

Does your receiver pass HDMI video unmodified?

what do you mean by it clips the HDMI video signal? Do you mean that it crops some of the image?

 

[jostenmeat]

Did you see my attached link? They are saying it doesnt pass BTB or "blacker than black". Perhaps this is only a concern for PC users? I honestly don't know, and haven't investigated it. If I was considering purchasing the receiver, then I would investigate more thoroughly!

hopefully its just FUD...

What's the call-in price?

 

[GlocksRock]

$400 With free shipping. but not sure if they are still offering this deal. If you call and check, let us know.

That's not that great of a deal

 

[GlocksRock]

It's $100 less than any other authorized dealer I've seen selling it, but it's not the deal of the century either.
