  Use a simple international adapter to plug into Australian sockets.

  So the cable is fixed into the device at the back and not replaceable? (EDIT: yep - from picture)

    Other options are purchase a replacement cable from Yamaha but don't tell them it's for an overseas model and fit this. It'll generally be a plug inside on the power supply.

    Or replace the plug with an Australian one.

  Thinking of getting these… what's a good 7.2 channel speaker system to go with it?

  P.S. if anyone is wondering what 7.2 means compared to 7.1: "As we mentioned previously, the “.1” in 5.1, 7.1 and all the others refers to the LFE (low frequency effects) channel in a surround soundtrack, which is handled by a subwoofer. Adding “.2” simply means that a receiver has two subwoofer outputs. Both connections put out the same information since, as far as Dolby and DTS are concerned, there is only one subwoofer track. Since A/V receiver manufacturers want to easily market the additional subwoofer output, the notion of using “.2” was adopted."

  International warranty? I forget which brands have them and which ones don't.

    HDMI® with support for 4K60p (4:4:4), HDCP2.2, HDR and BT.2020.

    so if you buy a receiver that cant pass through hdr, does the TV then pick up the slack or have you lost hdr completely?

    or do you just plug the source that has hdr into the tv hdmi ports thus bypassing the receiver and dont get 5.1 sound?

  Are these receivers shipped from France? I've not ordered a large fragile device like this before, how well are they packed & do they often get damaged in transit?

    Yep it's like a back order but it won't be cancelled ;)

    For those who can't wait you can add a few $ -> Denon AVR-X1300W from Amazon.de
    The power cable is replaceable.

      meku on 12/01/2017 - 14:09

      Yep very similar models. The Denon lacks a Digital Coaxial input but most people wouldn't notice.

  I have the older model RX-V479 and it does 4k passthrough but not HDR which is annoying. You'd want 4k and hdr if you plan to plug your Xbox One S or PS4 pro into it. This is a good buy.
