Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second Yamaha receiver and I love it. My previous Yamaha receiver still works great but is outdated as it was pre HDMI and of course doesn't support Atmos. This receiver has plenty of HDMI inputs and of course supports Atmos which is my next upgrade. I recently purchased a 4K/HDR TV and, of course, this receiver supports that technology as well. With Yamaha's MusicCast, Bluetooth, AirPlay and several internet radio applications this is a very versatile AV receiver. Set up was a snap with Yamaha's YPAO. That's a lot of good stuff in a receiver that only cost $649. I love this receiver

I bought this after my Pioneer died and after i bought a denon 1400H and returned it. Pioneers are out of my recommendation at all. Denon was great too but not as powerful and clear/warm as this receiver. Pros: 1. Very good quality, build and response time to changes in modes,commands when you use the remote/phone app. 2. Very good sound quality and great to watch movies. I tested Captain America over netflix at maximum decibels it could go to and it shook the house when an explosion happened. 3. Music cast app is far superior than any other apps for other receivers. For over enthusiastic movie/music lovers, they will love all the features of the app and how you can fine-tune each speaker to get 'what you want'. I don't like limitations/presets to the equalizer when you are buying an elite receiver like this. This receiver gives you a lot of flexibilty to change sound quality. 4. All features you can dream of. Cons: 1. App or remote can look too complicated for very simple users. 2. Heavy . (I don't mind that) 3. Some music modes are weird. 4. Denon in-command receivers are a good competitor but for watching movies, this wins hands-on. 5. Initial Setup and configuration takes some time.

This is my second Yamaha receiver and I'm a big fan. I purchased this to replace my previous Yamaha, which still functions great, because I purchased a new 4K/HDR TV and I wanted a receiver that would handle the 4K video signal when used for switching. In addition I'm planning to upgrade to atmos. This receiver functions superbly. Set up,was a snap using the Yamaha YPAO process. This receiver packs a lot of extras for just $649.

Great receiver with a great sound. Easy to setup. Display easy to read from 15 feet away.

Set up my surround sound using a Harmony.. So easy to use and great sound!!! Love it!

Fantastic sound. Easy setup. No brainer. Works great with new LG OLED 4K HDR

Just got this Yamaha receiver set up in my theater room. Many preset listening options and also ability to make changes to fit your style. Seems to transmit great picture to my projector from cable box and game systems. Yamaha AV controller app and MusicCast app is very nice- control everything from your mobile device. Still haven't used all of the features. Love it.

I have been using this now for around a month. It was super easy to set up, but I still feel like I can get more out of it. The configuration options for speakers and sound fields are almost unlimited. It is a little complex, but that is what I wanted. If you are looking for a plug and go setup get a sound bar. I wanted a lot of customization options and this really delivered. It has the option to do regular dolby 7.2 or Atmos. Both are great. I paired this unit with my older Klipsch speakers and the sound quality is the best I have ever had. The on-screen menus and remote are easy to understand with great graphics. The iphone app is AWESOME. I don't even touch the remote since downloading it.

Had put off investing in a new receiver while my 14 year old Sony ES continued to soldier on, but its time had come. This Yamaha is an improvement in so many ways. Great clarity and richness of sound and it reveals nuances of music never heard. The addition of and ability to use the front presence channels for Dolby Atmos is fantastic. The setup was painless, the on screen menus are well laid out and the unit itself feels solid and looks beautiful. So far loving it.

The ease of setting up and the ease of using two zones makes this a must buy.

Great sound very clear works great with the TV and DVD player

Great product. Great price!. Worth the purchase!!!

Upgraded my old Pioneer receiver with the Yahama. Setup and connections were quite easy. The sound difference is very notable and welcome. The auto sound setup fine tuned my 5.1 system quickly and efficiently.

I'm very happy with my purchase. I upgraded from an older receiver and I wanted it to be ready for future purchases like a 4k TV, gaming system, etc. Sounds great and easy to use.

I've always had good luck with Yamaha AV receivers so this purchase was an easy decision when I wanted to upgrade to 4K UHD video. I like the flexibility built into this unit - it gives many options for sound programs, connectivity, etc. And, bonus, it looks good too!

This receiver is perfect for the beginner audiophile or the intermediate audiophile. The sound is awesome and has all the features one would want for s Home Theater.

somewhat complex but loaded with features. A real bargain for the price and performs as expected. I am happy with the purchase as it replaces my non-pass thru onkyo.

The quality of the sound it produces and the ability to run 4k video is outstanding. I have yet to try the other features but they seen interesting

Sound quality is exceptional. Very easy to set up and use. Highly recommend for great sound quality for listening to music and watching movies.

This is my first receiver, but I did a ton of research and spoke with the guys in Magnolia Design at length. I mostly wanted the receiver to listen to music, but decided to go ahead and get one with more than 2 channels in case I got surround sound one day. Now I listen to tv and watch movies with it bc it sounds so good with my DefTech floor speakers! The sound stage is amazing; I'm hearing things in my music I haven't before and when watching a movie/tv it's great with only the two speakers. Highly recommended.
