Customer Ratings & Reviews

While not the same as a high end sound system, the Yamaha works well in our new home; easy to setup and easy to program; the one drawback is it's lack of customization for sound but it does the job without spending $1,000; would recommend to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot but wants a great sounding system

This is a quality 5.1 surround sound system! The music sounds wonderful and the speakers do a nice job of handling music and movie audio. The receiver appears to be well-constructed and it was a nice touch to have sufficient speaker wire included in the box! I also like the Yamaha YPAO microphone which allows the receiver to "tune" the speakers to the optimum listening levels based on where you'll be sitting. My only "gripe" really has nothing to do with this system, but rather, my own shortsightedness. In my haste to get a good quality 5.1 surround sound system, I forgot that (while not an audiophile, per se) I appreciate having a larger sound presence from my system. It's been a few years since I had a really nice stereo system and after playing this for a few days, I realized I wanted more. I added a couple of Martin Logan Motoin 4i speakers and was impressed by their clear, clean sound. I then went on a search for better front speakers. I got a pair of Polk S55's which also sound great. My problem is I'm running out of headroom in the receiver to adequately power everything. Oh, the speakers work and sound very nice. I just want a little more power to fill everything out. I'm looking to replace this receiver with a higher-end Yamaha in the coming months. If you're on a budget, and want really good sound from a well-built receiver, you can't go wrong with this. If you're looking to have more power and bigger speakers, save up and get a more powerful unit.

Amazing sound quality, easy set up. I love the Bluetooth capabilities! Definitely worth the buy.

Very happy with this purchase. To be honest I was looking for the budget model and prepared to tamper my expectations. Haven't been let down at all. Definitely recommend getting some extra speaker wire if you have a larger room, but I wouldn't say they short-changed on that for the typical setup.

This system replaces my older Yamaha theater system, but has much more power. Sound quality is good. System was easy to setup.

Great value and power for the price. I replaced the speakers with a higher quality set and now it sounds so much better.

Great system for an apartment. Have yet to have any complaints from the neighbors about the bass. Easy to hookup and sounds good.

This setup really does a great job for the price it’s going for. You can’t go wrong with Yamaha, if you’re looking for a budget sound system for your home theater then this is a great option. Of course it’s not the newest and best nor does it have all the bells and whistles but for this price you sure do get a lot in one package. It definitely is a vastly superior upgrade from my soundbar and subwoofer setup that I had before I bought this.

I went with this when my soundbar started having issues. Be a good idea to download the manual from Yamaha's website and get familiar with it before purchasing. For instance, there is setting you need to do to change the impedence from 8ohms to 6. Its an easy thing, but you would not know it if you you didn't read it. Setup: I had forgotten how tedious it was to run wires again, but if you are used to that, then it should be be problematic. Once everything was ready, the iniatial setup was pretty straight forward. Sound: Is good, especially for the size of the speakers. There are a lot of adjustments you can do in changing the type of sound you want, again read up on it. Take some playing with. Bottom line:. A solid system with very good sound, especially for the price range.

the unit works perfectly EXCEPT for the center channel speaker just quit working. I connected one of the other speakers to the center connection and that speaker worked. I took the center speaker and connected it to another output and it doesn't work, it's just dead. I have not been able to contact Best Buy to notify them of the problem. I have been all over their site and can't get to a point of contact nor can I reach them over the phone as it is all automated. all I need is a replacement center speaker. it literally just stopped working for no reason. everything else with the unit is satisfactory . but I don't know if I'll be able to get a replacement speaker because I can't get in contact with anyone. the email with this review is the first time I've been able to reach out with my issue.

Works as intended for a small room and we are happy with it. The speaker wire that came with it is junk and next to impossible to strip without breaking the copper so be prepared to get new speaker wire. The calibration doesn’t really work either but that’s not a big deal because you can manually go into settings and raise the volume of the surround sound speakers. Overall, for the price, I recommend this system. The directions are clear and easy to follow. Nice sound and works as intended.

Easy set up to cable, game system, DVD and phone. All blue tooth devises to. Looks and sounds great

Bought this as a early Xmas gift for the wife as our old system had started to fail. Finding a system that could work with a phono was important. The ease of setup and sound balancing was great. She loves how it sounds and loves how easy it is to control. DVDs, CDs, Albums as well as her music and video streaming services sound great.

Nice system, great value. One box with everything needed for a very usable home theater. Granted, not Sunfire or McIntosh, but at least one less zero in the price, and not intended to be audiophile. Excellent product for those looking for an entry level home theater, complete, that exceeds entry level expectations. Well recommended by the local associate.

bought this because my old receiver and speakers just didn’t sound that good. but this setup sounds great. the voices are clear in the center channel and the surround channels just sound awesome to me. totally worth the money spent. just get better speaker wire. wire is crap that comes with it. 16 guage pure copper speaker wire, not cca wire (copper coated aluminum)

I love the sound so much better than my old system and I was surprised that the remote works for my PS5. The Powered sub is more than I need actually had to turn it down under options and with my old one I had it turned all the way up to get the same effect.

Awesome bass and awesome sound. Easy to set up and easy to use

Works great fills room with sound easy to hook up Bluetooth is a big plus

I simply love this product I originally was going to go for the Samsung 7.1 channel, all Bluetooth 800 watt. I was willing to spend the money but, after seeing this price and being able to push this 5.1 channel to a 7.0 channel who would argue with that! And believe me I am extremely excited now to set it up with my new 75" LG 80 nanocell! Once my speakers and A/V are all set up I'll post some pics.

I bought this to replace an older system that worked great but I gave it to my girlfriend and her family. This system is awesome. Set up and sounds like we're at the theater. Very easy to set up,
