It's not my Yamaha...but I'm okay with that!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have always been a Yamaha guy but, needing to upgrade to a 4K system, I was not thrilled with the options they had in this price point. I took a shot at this unit because the reviews were so good and Im very pleased. Setup was easy, 4K &3D function perfectly, and the sound is excellent. What more could you ask for?

Nice receiver for the cost.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I like the receiver, the remote could have buttons just for bass, treble, and subwoofer adjustments. The only other issue I have with it is it can only handle 4 ohms loads.

Easy Setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.7.1 surround sound easy to setup. Display too dim to read from more than 1' away in lighted room. Dosn't specify if audio is stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 playback.

Good value for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent receiver for the money. My biggest complaint was the lack of on-screen menu's. Many menu items are controlled through the front display only which makes things like setting up extended HDMI mode difficult. Sound a bit shallow compared to Denon but still had excellent sound in height speaker mode.

Pretty good for the price
