I don’t think I like this forum.  I’m way too tempted to purchase most of the stuff we share.  Between this and ekotz my wife will kill be sooner than later

That’s why I post deals. I like to live vicariously through others’ purchases 🙂

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???

My son has a lower end Yamaha YMC-500BL NeoHD and it works w/o issue w/ the Xbox 360

The lower-end Yamaha’s don’t have the HDMI splitter (2x HDMI out).  I have a low-end Yamaha HTR-5063 and it works fine with the XBOX 360.  It is possible the HDMI splitter built-in is the root cause of compatibility issues.
