    I bought this for my husband for Christmas to replace his 1980's receiver and I am amazed at how easy it was to set up and all the options it has!

    I'm using this receiver as just some added sound for the upstairs tv. Was easy to get started and setup for my room was quick. Would buy again

    I bought a returned/reboxed version at a very good price, so I'm willing to live with the fact that there are some reception problems when I listen to my local NPR station (e.g., when I turn on a vibrating chair cushion that's NOT plugged in to the same outlet, the reception stops.) However, the sound is fine and the remote is relatively easy to use.

    The Yamaha-500W 5.1-Ch 4K Ultra HD and 3D Pass-Through A/V Home Theater Receiver I got was a good buy. The sound was so clear, it's like watching a movie in a theater at home and it was easy to set up.

    Wrong remote control. Best buy, will you make this correct for me? Sure would be easier for you to order a new remote control than myself.

    This unit makes movie watching more enjoyable since flat panels usually have mediocre speakers built in. Easy to use and set up. Remote is a bit more than basic but has all the featured I need. In hind sight I should have purchased the network version of the same model to have web functionality and remote control via phone/tablet. It is stylish and sounds great.

    While moving into our new home my fiance and I noticed that TV room was wired for surround sound so we decided to take advantage of it and purchase a receiver. We did some internet research and visited best buy a few times to gain some insight into prices and quality. Once we decided on the type of receiver we wanted we kept an eye on the Open Box items for a few weeks. The receiver we wanted showed up so we jumped on it and couldn't be happier. Great sound and quality. Easy to set up. Would definitely recommend.

    This was a fantastic upgrade from my second-hand receiver I owned before. I have all of my media devices and computer plugged in and it all works great. It comes with an instructional disc and a booklet with more than adequate directions on how to set everything up with your HDMI cables. There are also lots of configuration settings you can play with via an on-screen menu. For my little setup, I like it a lot!
