    At one time I was thinking of using this receiver and its 2x HDMI out to send audio to my second zone (audio only — outside on porch).  The thought was to send one HDMI output to the TV and the other to a second HD-audio capable receiver which would down mix to 2-channel stereo for my speakers outside.  Right now I am doing something similar with an SPDIF splitter, but of course I lose support for HD-audio formats.

    But after reading some of the troubles people were having with this unit’s HDMI implementation with the XBOX 360, I have my doubts it would work.  I mean if you didn’t test with the XBOX, what kind of QA department do you have at Yamaha?  It gives me doubts against using it for any advanced purpose…

    Anyone already have this Yamaha or something similar and have evidence to the contrary???
