Customer Ratings & Reviews

Yamaha has always made great products and this one is perfect for home theater surround sound. It is replacing a previous Yamaha receiver that i have had for over 7 years. This one has been updated for all the 4K audio and video.

I purchased this tuner for my home theater set up! Excellent quality and great sound!! I would highly recommend this to all! Looking at getting another subwoofer to run tandem subs!

this AV receiver has features of receivers at a higher price point. The Aventage receivers are overbuilt compared to the Yamaha standard line. All the bells and whistles like 4K HDR 7.2 surround. The only problem I have is not enough outputs to hook up external amplifiers to.

In general the Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A780 receiver does a good job. However, there are a few issues: 1) Getting the various media players to work with a 4K TV (like DirecTV, XBox One, Blu Ray Player) takes quite a bit of configuration work. Else, your screen will continuously flicker. To this day, I still cannot get my Roku 4K device to play nice and I've had to resort to connecting directly to the TV and adding an optical cable back to the A/V receiver. This should not have to be an option on such an expensive receiver. 2) For some reason, the various sound programs no longer work. 3) When first powering on all my devices, the A/V receiver will switch HDMI inputs after 10 seconds forcing me to manually change it back. I read the forums and others have been experiencing the same issues for a while so Yamaha has not fixed them. I probably would not purchase this model again until Yamaha actually fixes these problems.

Love it it works really really well we like the sound and you have different settings to set up for different places of the room and having to subwoofers is really nice you get a lot of great sound out of it.

Great media center with plenty of power and more channels then I currently need, but plenty of expansion.

Moving into new house -just purchase new tv 65 inch Sony 950G got sold on Yamaha receiver -has plenty of power to run my definitive technology speaker for surround sound.

I bought this because my previous one was damaged in a storm. I have had Yamaha in the past but was never really impressed with them. I gave this one another chance because it said it worked with Alexa. It does not work as well as I had hoped. The sound quality is excellent and it’s responsiveness is great. I have struggled for years to find a unit that has a Zone 2 that works the way I want and this one is no better. I would really like a Zone 2 that seemed a little more independent. Would absolutely love to be able to say “Alexa, play some music in the (whatever you name Zone 2) and it turn on just Zone 2 and start playing. I have named both Zones but Alexa does not seem to know the difference

I’ve owned other Yamaha receivers in the last 20 years for multiple sound systems. This model was easy to set up and it integrated my speakers flawlessly. The YPAO mic feature makes it simple for optimum speaker output.

Great receiver for the price/ clean power and like the cell phone app,

I really am enjoying this unit. It works well and audio (and visual) works great and sounds great. Use the phone app to control it---much easier than the remote (and I don't even know where the controls are on the unit itself).

the quality of sound improved significantly when we attached this monster to our media room. the features are amazing. you can also hook up your phone to this and play any music

It is a really nice home theater, it works great with everything I have, and I have a lot hooked to it, Xbox, 65" TV, Blu-ray player, cable box, and 7.2 ch. surround sound speakers. and two computers

Awesome stereo! Very happy with this unit. Great quality and a sweet sound. Dual zones play different music for my indoor speakers as for my exterior speakers simultaneously.

Couldn't be happier with this receiver. Upgraded my old Yamaha that was 5+ years old and this was a huge improvement. Great quality and sound. Loads of great features. Runs my 7.1 flawlessly.

Good base for a home theater system. Lags a little when switching between video inputs. Great options on the present programs with ample power, but will not set-up with an older Bose 5.2 system. Bypassed the Bose and it set up fine with a set of Polks, no problem.

So glad I bought this. The app is great to run the receiver from my ipad. I can finally listen to music outside while my wife watches TV inside. Love the dual zone feature.

This receiver replaced an older Yamaha receiver I had. This new one is outstanding and can’t smartly identify which HDMI input I’m playing from and automatically switches. It is great!

This was a gift for my son, but he has been ecstatic about the improvement in the quality of overall sound. Having discreet amplifiers pushing each channel with low harmonic distortion makes a difference you really can hear.

good well known name for a good price. Has A good amount of hdmi ports. It also is easy to set up and also has two outputs for subwolfer. I like that. Over all a good receiver.
