Bought this after I returned a Vizio soundbar system that did not work out for me audio quality-wise. After about a month now I am liking it. Up front, make a note that this is NOT a system that will work well in a true home theater environment. Where you have a dedicated room and want a quality theater audio experience. But this is not being marketed as such. In my opinion, good for an entry-level home entertainment sound system that has decent sound and is highly configurable for a budget price. In my use, I wanted a nicer sounding sound system for a general use, family room TV (55" 4K Sony). To where I was not looking for a booming, full surround home theater system, which we already have. I have an older but upscale Yahama receiver for that purpose and based upon that performance, I decided to try this Yamaha system. For my needs it is a very good system. The receiver has a boatload of options that are easy to understand and allows you to configure your sound experience with a lot of granularity. You can configure the surround settings, individual speaker volume, sub woofer crossover, and much more. All while sitting on your couch using the on-screen menus on your TV. HDMI pass-through for 4K and ARC are a plus. I have my Dish Hopper receiver connected via HDMI to the receiver then the HDMI out on the receiver to my ARC input for the TV. It passes HDMI CEC commands so I only have to press the TV power button and it turns everything else on or off. Do not see any image quality degradation in using the HDMI passthrough. However, while I don’t not have a PhD in audio/video, this receiver is only capable of passing 4K 60Hz at 4:2:0 chroma. Think this only comes into play if passing through a high quality 4K PC graphic card video signal to a TV. The speakers are the weakest link. They have thin, plastic housings and feel low-quality. The sound is OK considering, but to me sound hollow. Like there is an echo or resonation because of the plastic. I pick this up more on the center channel speaker. I ended up replacing the two fronts with small speakers I had where they did sound a little better. Since I do not need the back surrounds, I used the regular speakers in the front of the room, far to the edge of the room and pointing up to the ceiling from the top of the entertainment center. Gives more depth that I wanted but not the true surround. Found out that I use the 5 channel audio setting for a fuller sound than the “straight” processing where it processes the audio signal as it is sent from the satellite receiver. I also put the center channel speaker behind the TV to reflect off the back wall then reduced the center level to a point where I don’t have the over center-focused sound and it blends in more with the l/r speakers for a wider sound. Sub has individual settings for control and is booming enough for a family room setting without booming the lamps off the end tables. You can and will spend a LOT of time messing about with the settings, levels and other features on the receiver until you get it to your liking. Which is a good thing in having those options as opposed to a more limited soundbar. Take my suggestion and have a pencil and piece of paper handy to remember what values you have been trying and like/hate so you can fine tune. I found the auto-calibration process set the equalizer to settings which made the audio sound too 'bright'. I used that as a basis for my own customization. The virtual cinema front is more gimmicky to me. Sounded fake and tinny. Overall, a good choice for a simple yet powerful audio receiver with a lot of features like Bluetooth, audio scenes, auto calibration/setup and more.

This system is much higher quality than the soundbar/subwoofer and Bluray/surround system combos out there. I purchased this system to replace the above mentioned items, but it turned out to be a huge upgrade. The sound and 4K video pass through quality is phenomenal. I upgraded the included speaker wires to the Monster Platinum wires, but, otherwise, this is a high quality, stand-alone, excellent purchase!
