The easy answer...

Absolutely NOT.

This is by all means a standard receiver. It in itself is an amplified unit. You would have to run the speaker ports to the input ports on the second unit.

If you do that, you'd have all kinds of problems. The most likely one being that you'd simply overload the input ports on the other unit.

It is never a wise idea to amplify an output signal into another unit that is just going to amplify it again anyway.

The bigger thing to keep in mind is that the input ports on the second unit just are not designed to take that kind of wattage. They're designed to take a few mW to a few W at most. Y'know?

I realize it's called an "amplifier" and all, but it's only meant to amplify the source signal to a level where it's audible through speakers.

A 'true' amplifier is meant to amplify a signal into a high-power monitor; such as a guitar amp, etc.

Please don't try to do this. I'd hate to see you lose a perfectly good receiver to something like that! :P

Good thinking, though. At least you're thinkin' up ideas on how to improve something. :)

The types of remotes are as follows

- Single item, or fixed. This unit will only operate the unit it came with
- Multi function, this type can operate the unit it came with and a fixed set of other types. Normally the remote comes with a list of supported device it could work with.
- Learning, the combine both a predefined list with the ability to learn functions by sensing input from the original remote.
- Programable. These are the newest remotes that work like multifunction but the list is maintained by the manufacturer and down loadable from the web.

I would guess that the DVR has a multi function remote.
If you can't find the specific Yamaha in the list, then
try another brand, this could take a while.

Some multi function remotes have an option that allow a semi automatic configuration.
You turn on the item and then using a special key sequence try to turn off the device. once the item turns off you should be able to control it.

If you can't the Yamaha has a learning remote. If you really want an easy solution try looking at a programmable remote. I just got a Logitech, (Harrmony). Life has never been so easy.

make sure the (a) speakers are switched on,this may be a switch on the front panel or in the main set up menu.

hope this helps.

SOURCE: My Yamaha RX-V661 shuts off at moderate volumes.

Try to disconnect speakers one by one and see if any of them causes the problem.

SOURCE: Yamaha RX-550 receiver. Presently, no sound on

were you able to solve this one ? I have the same problem with mine. The only way to clear the lack of sound in one of the speakers is to rotate the input knob !!
