Since it isn't video (PAL), it may function acceptably. solid state digital circuitry can be a problem. some have 60/50 hz switches- can be well hidden. your main prob. will be 110/220 selection switch. most quality manufacturers include them. may have to hunt for it- don't plug in anything your not sure of!! pack a barrel full of outlet adapters too. different countries like to be 'different'. rarely, you may encounter 440V, but unlikely. those in the Euro-Zone are realizing the importance of standardization! you can get adapter kits here and put 'em in your checked luggage, or pay through the nose in Europe! 'course, the screeners may have fun with the x-ray scanners! research, research, research! good luck!
Thanks Edward! I'll keep that in mind to get a good power adapter. When you said 'solid state digital circuitry can be a prob' (assuming with frequency), could you please give me an understanding on what areas it could impact?
basically I wanted to know whether it hurts my device bad...

SOURCE: Yamaha RX-V663 Not Providing 1080 Signal
First let me say that you have stated your problem very well. I completely understand the issue you are having.
I have been repairing a/v systems since they started selling them.
By your description of your problem, it is obvious that you have isolated the problem to the Yamaha.
Despite what Yamaha tech support say's, it is their problem.
I have been dealing with tech support for a lot of different manufacters for many, many years. I repair under warranty over 20 different brands, but not Yamaha. I have repaired plenty of Yamaha receivers but none with this particular problem.
It is not uncommon to find tech support people who don't know as much as they should about their own product.
Since I don't have the instruction manual or a service manual forthis model I can only be of minimal help.
What you can do, if you have your instruction manual, check it over closely for this subject on how to change the settings for the HDMI. If you can not find this particular issue, it is possible that the Yamaha doesn't support 1080i. I would be surprised if it did not, but stranger things have happened.
Another thing you can do if you can still not find an answer to this problem is to take it in to an authorized Yamaha service center.
If you have recently purchased this Yamaha, it will be under warranty. They get at least 1 year. Tell them the problem you are having and if they do not know how to solve it right there on the spot, or give you an answer that satisfies you, leave it with them
to have it fixed. If they are an authorized service center they will have to fix it or get it replaced for you if it is under warranty. It may need a firmware upgrade to the digital board. If that is the problem, then they can do it for you.
Let me know if you need any more help.
Sorry I wasn't more help, but an authorized service center may be your best bet.

I suggest you run self diag. press [FM/AM] key + [Input mode] key and press the [power/standby] switch.
ps prt = power supply problem
dc prt = shorted output or leakly cap in channel
tmp prt means to hot on heatsink
you'll likely have to measure the resistances of the output FETs to find a short,

Hey, yeah that can be frustrating.
When you turn it up do you hear the relay or a clicking sound, then you turn it on and it comes back below the +2db?
Try unplugging All the speaker wires from the unit. Turn on the unit and listen for the click.
after the click, turn it up past the 2+ db mark and see if you hear it click or shut down. If it did not click off, then suspect a shorted crossover on one of your speakers.
2nd test is to plug in One speaker, and test it at high volume, it will not harm it. If it shuts off disconnect that speaker and try another. Only one at a time.
If it works at high volume, you need to isolate one of your speakers and i bet it has a shorted crossover that has been cooked. P.S. If one is bad, suspect they will fail at a later date.
If they all fail, use a friends speaker and try it before sending it to a repair shop.
P.S. i found one on ebay i think you can get for under $100 bucks in the box.

Make sure you have an analog RCA audio cable from the source to the receiver. Digital coaxial or optical will not work for zone 2 or zone 3. By adding an analog cable it will not affect your main zone, it will always go to digital first. Hope this helps

Forgot to mention one more thing. They advised me to use a good power adapter to convert the voltage from 220V to 120V.
some countries use 240 now- something else to consider. try diyaudio.com- the best source, since you paid buchu bucks for this system- get on yamahas' site and grill them about it!! the system should at least have a 110-220 slide switch- small and usually well concealed. they should in a 50Hz environment also give you info about the effects of using 60Hz electronics
I checked the manual. both usa and europe versions are same. they did mention abt the slide switch but thats only for 'general model'. since mine is an usa one, it doesn't have that switch. from the manual it says usa models works on 60Hz and other regions on 50Hz and some specific regions models works on both 60/50 Hz.. I couldn't find much information on impacts of using 60Hz appliance on 50Hz.. the only information I've got with 60Hz appliances that has impact on 50Hz was that ones which includes induction motors or similar to that in them.. appliance like refrigerators, washing machines, turntables, clocks that runs on AC etc.. they were all abt saying that at certain aspects the device would output a bit lower performace compared to same device running on 60Hz input.. but nothing abt receivers :).. was curious abt this and posted my concern/doubt here... you may call it extra cautious. but I'm trying to keep my devices safe since i invested a lot in them..

bought same unit, was there any big issue at the end. did the 50Hz had any effect in EU.
was voltage convertor size did you use???
