Happy to see eARC. Does it have Atmos virtualization? Nice review - I am tried of seeing technicians review a consumer product. Hearing from an end user is so much better. Do you miss 8k?
Great video on explaining the features. I have top middle and top front ceiling speakers but the rz 50 won’t let me set that up if I choose to make the top middle and switch it to top rear would that make a difference or should I do front top even though they are ceiling speakers and keep top middle because those are my only options. Also I also use relative volume what is your volume level when you watch movies in atmos?
I don’t think it would make a big difference to middle to rear. I had my setup that way (in my main home theater room) a while and it sounded ok. I typically listen between -10db and -20db depending on the volume level of the soundtrack.
Thanks you for the comprehensive review. Mine gets delivered today. My only question is can I power my fronts and surrounds with my Emotiva A3 (fronts) and A4 (4 surrounds). 7.1.4
Sure you can… I’m doing exactly that with my RZ-830. Just use the pre-amp out jacks to send the signal to your external amplifier(s). It works just fine, as long as you properly set things up in the various menus.
Hi, have you ever had any issues with the hdmi board acting up, I heard the older model okyno receivers may have had problems with the hdmi board, do you think maybe these older receivers run a little on the warm side far as the hdmi boards? Thanks......
Is there any flexibility on choosing which channel I want to connect to an external amp? Cause why would I amp my back surround?? I want to amp my LCR and load the rest on the AVR like denons receivers do! So is there any useful info about this?
You can connect any channel you want to an external amp. Some receivers have a pre amp mode which shuts off the internal amplifiers but this model doesn’t have that feature.
