Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been purchasing yamaha for quite some time now. I've experimented with other brands, but always came back to yamaha. This Arcam receiver is finally the one to sway me from yamaha. Its amazing how clear and detailed music and movies sound. Im hearing things in sings that didnt quite stand out before. Overall, im very pleased. Receiver sounds great and works great.

Excellent Receiver. I was going back and forth on many brands and models. But when I heard this in the magnolia center it was mind blowing. Excellent value for money. Just be aware that this model doesnt support multiple zones. It was not an issue for me though.

Amazing power to each speaker. Crystal clear sound at low levels.

General set-up is not that friendly which you can't access to its remote control

Two stars because it puts out perfectly acceptable (but not great) sound through my 7.2 Episode speaker setup. Pros: lots of customization options (good for setup, but not needed much afterwards). Good sound. Acceptable image quality. Cons: unreliable. Blacked out frequently with several different inputs, and in particular with games. One of the two HDMI outputs died as soon as I got it, and the other lasted 20 months, so now it's a paperweight.

Hands down best receiver ever! Would purchase again!

I had very high expectations and hopes for this. I did buy it as an open item so I’m aware of the potential risks. But when I got home, unwired all of the original stereo and then wired up this receiver, pushed the power button and nothing….. red light of death. Tried numerous things but of course not a lot you can do…. Good news was I could return it but I didn’t want to.. I don’t know if this is product failure or previous owner failure. This brand is regarded as superior quality but….

Arcam - AVR5 595W 7.1.4-Ch. With Google Cast 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver Best Avr I ever have music oh movie’s sounds beautiful I loved

Finally upgraded to a state of the art receiver. My Kenwood was 20+ years old with no HDMI and poor surround sound options. This monster is amazing. Great sound great features. I am a happy camper ;-)

Perfect for a home theater setup. Has plenty of HDMI and speaker connectors. I am not an audiophile, however, this is something that even a novice can tell is superb quality.

I'm still trying to figure out it's potential, hard to get hold of geek sqad need to visit store to have someone make sure it's hooked up right and adjusted no instructions with it

I'm torn on how to rate this - the sound is truly high end, best I've heard from ANY AVR. That said, it is astoundly buggy. I've had it just over two weeks, and I'm on my second factory reset (ALL settings lost) that ARCAM support directed me to do to fix I/O issues. I'm on my third "restore backup" to fix random display and control issues. Even when everything is "working", at least three times a day it drops audio when I simply change the cable channel, requiring me to turn it off and on to fix it. I value sound quality above all else, but I doubt I can live with all the issues over the long term

Excellent receiver and very well made by Arcam. I would recommend to a friend.

Good receiver, not sure it is worth the money unless it is on sale.

Sales guy said this is one of the best, so we spent a bunch of extra money on it, only to find out it doesn't even have a Zone 2. Had to return.

Returned it. Couldn’t get it to work. No instructions so no buy

Need an engineering degree to set up. Definitely not for first time audiophiles. After owning Carver 500t amps and Klipsch Heresy speakers, the sound doesn’t rival those. Granted, I am searching for more of a theatre experience, this particular receiver does not have the power I am looking for.

Amazing power output snd nice feature to have it set for future board upgrades. Same funtionality as AVR10 apart from the Dirac correction which wasnt a massive thing for me since my setup isnt incredibly high performance. For this price point, pretty much the best bang for your buck.

Arcam AVR5 worked great as an amplifier for 2.1 channel music. If you are looking for a music amp, this AVR should be a nice option. Unfortunately I was looking for a receiver with Dolby Atmos along with a good audio quality. DTX and certain modes just did not sound right. Remote control sometimes did not allow me to cycle through multiple audio modes (like Dolby, DTX, digital channel).

Arcam 5. For one sounds flat like the tv. 2, it changes when you turn it on, sometimes on with no tv, somtimes with sound somtimes without. Geeks installed it and it worked good for a week. The final straw was the wife using closed caption to watch a show. Not worth the effort, if streaming or would need a on screen set up to figure out what's wrong.
