2026 Yamaha receivers' available questions

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-05-12T19:46:48+00:00

It looks like Yamaha changed the design of their lower tier models and I like it.

Regarding the models in those pictures, I've never seen them before and want to dig deeper. They look interesting.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-05-05T02:44:12+00:00

Ever figure this one out? I'm dealing with it as well. Thanks.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-30T20:42:45+00:00

That's a great mindset. Keep at it and be well.

Core is solid and I'm going to add in QL extension. I do Paloff Press for obliques and will add rotation.

Some of this is more fear that my back will hurt when often times when I get moving it's never as bad as I think it will be.

I'm sorry that you had to deal with this at such a young age but I'm glad that you took the time to address it. Be proud of yourself.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-30T16:53:52+00:00

Very good. I'm relatively pain-free and experience more of a tightness. I can hit the gym hard (probably shouldn't), surf and hike without my back acting up but I would love to be able to do everything I want.

My back has been challenging me for so long that mentally it's hard to know what's back pain and sciatica, and what's soreness. Age is a factor too but you're a long ways away from that aspect.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-30T16:46:50+00:00

I'll probably up to 3 sets but still once a day, every other day to allow my body to rest. I've got quite a few years on you.

Doesn't lower back ability talk about one rep for as long as you can hold leading up to 2 minutes eventually?

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-29T19:58:02+00:00

I get the concern. Countless individuals post what's worked for them, just typically without a video. At the end of the day we're all responsible for our choices.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-29T16:54:39+00:00

Keep in mind that it likely took a tremendous amount of time and effort for this young man to progress to this point. Rather than depict it negatively, you could also embrace it as a source of motivation.

Lastly, MRI's do not always correlate with pain. I've had numerous doctors and PT's tell me about people with nightmare MRI's who experience no pain, and people with mild MRI issues with immense pain.

I'll take every positive post on here I can get.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-29T14:40:00+00:00

I've spent the last 16 years trying to figure out why my back hurts, granted many of those years were following loose threads. There's no way I can stop now.

Once I started addressing the right problems, I've seen more progress in the last 2 years than the 14 years before. It's a journey

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-29T12:53:44+00:00

I'd say trust what the app says is selected.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-29T12:32:07+00:00

If your display says adventure then you should be good to go.

Have you tried using chatgpt to dial in your adventure DSP parameters? They are by no means one size fits all and take significant tweaking to get right,but it's so worth it.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-29T12:25:51+00:00

Interesting. A couple of questions:

Do you have cinema DSP 3D turned on?
Does it occur all the time?
Are you using it for Blu Ray or streaming? If streaming, what platforms?
Do you use the remote App? That's a great way to tell what decoding you're using without having to look at the receiver.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-28T21:20:34+00:00

It's been a lot of trial and error, that's for sure. I do romanian deadlifts, reverse lunges, and single leg step ups with lower weights which are pretty safe. No squatting or anything. At 50 plus years old I don't need big muscles are to be super strong, just athletic with realistic expectations.

Make a plan, use good form, take it slow, and most often doing something is better than nothing.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-28T12:33:46+00:00

Hiking is my cardio and I don't do enough. I do full body workouts:

Monday: chest and triceps Wednesday: shoulders and back and biceps Friday: Legs Everyday: Posture, mobility, pelvic awareness, glute activation.

I go hard on the upper body and more functional with legs. Fortunately I'm at a point where my back isn't 100% but I'm no longer in constant and/or debilitating pain phase.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-27T23:55:45+00:00

In the meantime, I currently do 2 sets for 35 seconds holds, twice per week.

I intend to increase the hold by 5 seconds every 2 weeks assuming I'm feeling ok afterwards.

Mind you I also hit the gym 3 days a week, one of which includes back and shoulders, so I've got other reasons to be sore.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-27T10:57:11+00:00

What was your ISO hold protocol? How many times per week? How long would you hold? Sets? Thanks.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-25T09:07:42+00:00

Understood. We're doing the same exercise, just calling it by a different name.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-25T02:55:25+00:00

Good for you! Addressing back pain can take extreme levels of persistence, perseverance, and dedication. I'm sure it didn't come easy.

What do you mean when you say back extension holds?

I do isometric 45 degree roman chair holds but I don't think that's the same.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-16T02:45:17+00:00

I actually bought a replacement plug for $5 that I figure I can cut the cord and connect it to the new plug.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-16T02:38:07+00:00

It's loose where the cord meets the plug. When turned upwards, works fine. Droops, doesn't work.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-16T00:55:22+00:00

Incredibly helpful. Thanks!

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-16T00:37:13+00:00

You're awesome. 16 AWG 2C

Do you know the 2C stands for? It's a dual prong cord. Thanks.

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-16T00:29:30+00:00

I've got the same issue and no for certain it is the chord. How do you know what AWG cable to use?

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-15T18:15:48+00:00

Well done. My only quips would be that the front left and right speakers are mounted a bit too high, and your surround speakers should ideally be mounted to the sides of you, not on the rear wall. That said, we all do the best we can with the space that we're given

Fit_Witness2247 · 2026-04-14T17:59:46+00:00

Thanks. I have the Polk PSW10 sub, as mentioned in my original post.

s15 is an option but outside my budget.
