Otherwise, the HTR-5063 sports all of the same features as the HTR-4063, including Audio Return Channel and 3D media capability over HDMI 1.4a, YPAO Automatic System Calibration and Dolby TrueHD audio reproduction.
The HTR-5063's HDMI 1.4a ports support both 3D media (from one 3D capable device to another) as well as Audio Return Channel which allows for two-way audio transfer as well as one way video, eliminating the need for an S/PDIF cable for your HDTV. Its YPAO Automatic System Calibration allows the HTR-5063 to detect in-room acoustics by way of a tiny microphone and automatically adjust sound levels to achieve perfect audio, no matter the speaker setup. Additionally, the HTR-5063's Dolby TrueHD audio reproduction allows for superior, lossless playback quality of Blu-Ray disc audio.

#yamaha_htr_5063 Anyone know how to listen to a different audio source (say music on my iphone or ipod connected via the YDS-12 dock) while watching video from my HD Dish network reciever...such as basketball game or anything else on TV?
I'm using the HTR-5063, Sony HD tv, Sony blu-ray, dish network HD w/ HDMI.
Thanks!
