New Yamaha RAV-2000 model...
Yamaha has recently made slight changes to the version of the RAV-2000 that ships with the RX-Z1 receiver. Called the RAV-2000Z1, the hardware is identical, but Yamaha has enlarged the memory region where user files are stored. The RAV-2000Z1 has increased from 444kb available space to a more useful 772kb. They obtained this additional space by shrinking the code database from about 640kb to just under half, essentially removing European codes.

No new version of RAVedit has been released. Instead, Yamaha provides the RAVSelect utility, which modifies (back and forth) several RAVedit files to support both versions. Yamaha warns that downloading a RAV-2000Z1 file to a RAV-2000 is not a good thing, so unless you actually have a RAV-2000Z1 please don’t use this utility.


Absolutely, positively massive file area update!
It’s been quite a while since our last file area update! With the recent introduction of the upgraded database program, it’s become much easier to determine which files are new. Still, I’ve found that many users prefer news updates to see what’s hot.

We’ll begin with the Philips Pronto file area, which covers the TS-1000, TSU2000, TSU6000, RU890, RU940, RU970, Marantz RC5000, RC5000i, RC5200, RC9200, Onkyo CHAD and Yamaha RAV-2000 models.
