Musiccast + 2x RX-V485 = whole home audio heaven
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receiver strictly to run two zones per receiver. No video, no surround. Why buy the dedicated musiccast mini amplifier for more $, and only one zone? I chose this over a slightly lower series, with musiccast, because this has two musiccast zones with independent power and volume control. I use my high end Yamaha system for main towers and theater system (Bowers 700 series). I then use multiple of these units to cover deck and patio outdoor zones, the garage, and the master bedroom. The great thing is I don't have to run a ton of speaker wires to achieve this! No hard-wire connection to reach the upstairs. I can control each zone with Alexa and the iPhone app... Volume, power, source, etc.

Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily integrates well with Alexa and also Yamaha Music Cast. Still learning how to best use all of the features. I most frequently use it with Alexa's play everywhere feature in a group. I was originally disappointed because there isn't much tonal control beyond bass and treble however there are a number of settings that mimic everything from theater to music halls which fills the gap nicely.

Easy setup. Sounds great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced an older Yamaha receiver with this one. The older one was great but did not have hdmi. This one has ample hdmi plug ins. The setup was super easy. Perfect for my 5.1 family room sound system setup.

Setup is somewhat convoluted, but otherwise ok.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup involves downloading a quasi-app. The owner's manual is also a download, but trying to search for a particular topic is frustrating. I never figured out how to get bluetooth or WiFi working. But it pretty much does what I ask, plays great sound from the TV and radio.

Wonderful technology within my new Yamaha 400 W
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best home theatre system I have had yet. I have had high end systems in the past and none of them have ever been as great as this one. I have a full B&K speaker system with a custom made 16" woofer with an internal amp and my Yamaha does a great job. Once setting up the speaker system the Yamaha includes a listening device that will sync your speakers automatically. They sound better than ever. The listener device listens to the pre programmed sound that goes from speaker to speaker to set the correct setting for each speaker. WOW!!! The surround sound is better then ever. It's better than being at the theater.
