    Very good quality sound coming from my Klipsch speakers. Easy to set up and Bluetooth from phone for music. Lots of options for sound bar or from said speakers.

    Amazing receiver at a perfect price. I know that one can easily spend thousands on a receiver. And for the most discerning, there is a market for that. But for the vast majority of us, a receiver that amplifies the sounds of our tv, streaming music, and turntable, is more than enough. This Yamaha does all that at a very high level. Yet at the same time, it’s SO easy to set up. (Trust me, I have a far more expensive Onkyo that required a full semester at MIT). Can’t recommend this high enough. Fully satisfied with the purchase.

    Replaced a 15-year old $1,300 Yamaha receiver

    I had to replace my Yamaha receiver because it didn’t have HDMI and I wanted to connect my Hue Sync box to it to be able to change inputs. I’m not an audiophile and I don’t like loud noises, so...I didn’t need much. I got this open box - came in excellent shape with no remote, but my Harmony remote handles that. Connecting wires from my five speaker was a bit tight, but I labeled the wires from my old unit and eliminated confusion. Sound is way better than my old unit. I haven’t reached for the remote yet to turn down the action scenes and later turn up the dialogue - it’s pretty balanced. One feature I love is lip sync - the audio in a movie I watched was slightly off so I could adjust it so the lips matched up! If I had to do it again, I might look for a unit with two HDMI out.

    Lots of features in this unit, with plenty of power to give a theater experience at home. Easy to set up and use. Only issue so far is finding the right code for my DirecTV remote, but I don't have a problem juggling remotes, so no biggie.

    can't really compare to other quality brands of new video/audio receivers but coming from a Sony reciever from the 90's totally worth the price just for the bluetooth and control of crossover and hertz settings,speaker distance settings to fine tune the sound to your preferences it makes my cerwin vega vs 120's sound crisp clear and shake the house when asked just turn up the bass and if u still crave bass just hit the extra bass button. cool bonus that when connected to a TV that the radio menu comes on your TV and it auto detects what is connected to it and displays the device name you don't have to name the input and comes with a ypao microphone( yamaha parametric room acoustic optimizer) and will actually tune the sound for you

    Bought it to replace my 10-year old Sony receiver to have 4K and Bluetooth transmit. I use a Bluetooth headphone when on the treadmill. There's also noticeable improvement on the sound of my powered subwoofer when watching movies. It's really great especially for the price.

    I upgraded to this receiver to allow audio playthrough HDMI (ARC), as well as deliver enough power to my Klipsch 5.1 speakers. It has been great, and is a great value for the money.

    This tuner is easy to set up. It has 4 HDMI pass thrus. A microphone for easy surround set up. The sound is warm and wonderful. It has DTS, Dolby D, and pro logic decoders. For some one with no need for lots of fancy confusing bells and whistles. just a good solid sound system

    Got this to replace an older Yamaha that sadly gave up the ghost. This stereo hooked up to my LG TV and with a few onscreen menus via the HDMI output, it was configured just the way I like it. I used the microphone included to self-tune the audio characteristics of the receiver in relation to the room. This is a great feature of the Yamaha that my older receivers didn't have. Powers on and off via CEC sent from my LG TV, works as I'd expect. Bluetooth works fine on it as well. Great value.

    Easy setup, sound quality is good for the room receiver was set up. Best part is the single HMDI out to TV. Nothing like minimising the cable clutter. Recommend this if in the market for a receiver that will handle everyday use.

    Works great. Pushes strong sound. Has all the hook ups you could want. I had one like this I bought 13 years ago, but the other one just gave out. Would turn itself off by itself, took a long time to output tv sound--probably because I never dusted it, but this new one is great. Looking to get another 15 years out of it.
