Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great unit. Bluetooth hook up and pushes the surroundsound for great sound!.

This is my second Yamaha receiver. They are priced right, easy to operate, and sound great.

This receiver is very powerful for any 5 channel system and the new model has Bluetooth!

I used this home theater to replace my old home theater which doesn't have USB ports, replacing my old device and setup was simple and quick it took me less than 20 minutes to enjoy the movie!

Replaced prior Sony model with this one, great buy and better price. Easy setup too.

The Yamaha - 700w 5.1-ch 4k Ultra Hd And 3d Pass-through A/v Home Theater Receiver was exactly what I needed and works well in my home theater system.

Very good quality! It was easy to set up. Looks great in my entertainment center.

Great receiver for the price. Easy to set up, operates great. Awesome quality.

A good receiver for senior citizens because it's easy to hook up. It produces good sound in many varieties.

Let me list up front the worst things about this Yamaha, compared to the similar Onkyo TX-SR353 that I had paid about $60 less for: - While they both have stupid gray-on-black labels, the Onkyo was not as insulting to my eyesight as the Yamaha... I COULD read the face of the main unit on the former, but with the smaller, duller Yamaha labels I HAVE to use the remote. - Speaking of the remote, the Yamaha lacks both the dedicated Treble & Base rocker buttons, and even a Display or Info button to mimic the Info button on the front display of the unit. Now for the more IMPORTANT aspects: The Onkyo would not work properly with my simple Comcast X1-to-Receiver-to-Sony XBR TV... The HDMI/ARC/CEC functions are listed in the Onkyo's advertising and little "Quick Start" guide, but in the full manual downloaded from their site, and in USE, there are several provisos about the unit not being guaranteed to work with the back & forth data. In my case, turning off the (2016) Sony TV did NOT turn off the amp, but instead switched it to another Input... Worse, turning the TV back on did not return the amp to the appropriate input. These were deal-breakers for both inconvenience as well as power & heat when not in use, installed behind a closed cabinet door. The Yamaha has similar audio properties - and neither one is entirely intuitive when it comes to inputs & outputs - but it does exactly what it is SUPPOSED to do: Turn off the TV & the amp turns off; Turn the TV back on and the amp turns back on to the same input. In summary, acoustically similar for sound power & features, about 700 Watts which is plenty for a non-audiophile, but the CEC controls thru the HDMI cables work as advertised.

We are very happy with our 5.1Ch. 3D & 4K Ultra HD & Pass-Through A/V Home Theater Receiver. The price was right. The color is Black. It's relatively easy to connect and set up to Speakers. It knows and communicates to you if there is a problem. Easy set up to DVD/CD 5-Disc changer and TV. The Radio also comes in fine. I recommend setting aside a couple hours for set up. We would buy this again!

This is a perfect fit for me for a receiver. Excellent quality and easy set up.

Easy to assemble and hook up. Great sounds and the remote is easy to understand

Good receiver excellent quality. God quantity of inputs specially of the HDMI

I bought this for my boyfriend as a birthday gift and he loved it. It was exactly what he needed to streamline his electronics in his living room.

This receiver is great for the price. Minimal time to setup and great sound.

Easy set up. No confusing dials or strange set ups. Sounds great for the price.

I needed to replace my old onkyo system so i can have access to more HDMI ports, and this seems like a good option. I particularly like the ability to optimize the sound to my cluttered environment, just like other much more expensive systems. Plus the system was a good price. Finally, Yamaha has always been one of my favorite stereo systems. A win-win situation

It works well with the rest of the components. Clean sound and easy setup.

I have had several incarnations of Yamaha A/V receivers. I retired my last one because it did not have any HDMI input/output. It was working great like the first day I bought it but it was 11 years old. This new version (RX-V381BL) is every bit as good and then some for functionality and sound performance. With multiple HDMI inputs and a an output, I can run all my feeds into it and one video feed out to the tv. This was particularly important when I cut the satellite cord and went with streaming services (Sony PlayStation Vue; Amazon Fire TV box (not stick!)) and allowed me to have great surround sound and pass through the video. It has a nice feature where it comes with a microphone cone that you can do a one time(or more later if you change speakers etc) setup where the receiver will run test patterns to your speakers, evaluate the sound and room characteristics and automatically adjust the setup to maximize the best possible sound environment. Yamaha receivers continue to be solid performers at an affordable price.
