Great product.I would recommend this product to buy.

Nice product. I would recommend this product to buy.

Nothing but trouble from the start. Kept changing automatically from what you were watching - TV, blue ray and screen would go black and sound would go off. Might be a lemon but not sure.Changed for different receiver.

It’s really good for last 4 years until I switch to Apple TV 4K.not it couldn’t catch the Apple TV hdr or Dolby vision video to send it off o Tv.

two speakers do not work as part of the receiver. have had difficulty getting someone to call me. will have to live with it

After much research, choose the RX-A750 to upgrade our home theater system. While waiting for a sale, just happened to catch this Yamaha at BestBuy for $569 ($80 off - unadvertised). Wow, a great value, so we purchased it on the spot. I am not an audiophile nor a high-tech expert. We are an older couple that love movies (old and new) and listening to music. This receiver has plenty of HDMI inputs that allow me to finally connect anything and everything I want, using the receiver as the hub of my system. It is packed with the newest features that will future-proof me for a while (If there's such a thing). The on-screen set-up was easy to navigate and actually fun. I used the AUTO speaker set-up with the supplied ypao mic and it worked flawlessly. Great sound quality and more power then I will ever need. I have a 5.1 configuration in the living room, and used the extra ZONE 2 speakers for the outdoor speakers tucked into our covered porch. The ability to do this was another important reason I choose this Yamaha. It's perfect for my needs and you can toggle between the zones to adjust each zones volume. Pandora sounds great on either zone. I am also impressed with the video quality. It might be my imagination, but this receiver might even make my picture look better. I am hooked up to our Panasonic plasma. In my opinion, one of, if not the best, tv ever made. Hope it last forever 'cause they aren't making them any more, and even the newest technology is a step backwards. Hey! Samsung, Sony, LG, are you listening? Stop worrying about how many undetectable pixels you can give me, and fix the motion and viewing angle problems! Opps, sorry, just venting, back to my review. From Blu-ray to my b/w edition of Casablanca it does a great job. I also love that you can adjust the dialogue volume on the fly using the options button on the remote. Ever watch a movie where the action is too loud and the dialogue too low? So you keep the remote in your hand to adjust all movie long! Problem solved...Thanks Yamaha! Yes, I love this receiver and would highly recommend it over any others even close to this price range. The relatively small knocks: As others have mentioned, the remote is not up to Yamaha standards. Small buttons and hard to read for an old man like me. But my Logitech Harmony 650 universal remote has wonderfully fixed that. Review coming soon. Also, I personally love paper manuals. But, like almost everybody else nowadays, Yamaha gives you a CD or you can go online for the manual. I find it hard to believe this is a cost thing,...or is it part of the Go-Green movement? Either way I am unhappy. So charge me $5.00 more and plant some trees....I want my paper manual!

Quick Version: 5 Stars on sound and features, 3 Stars for it's dated UI. Average of 4 stars. I won't get into video performance as I'm not a 4K/3D consumer. 1080p/720p sources look like I expect them to, and it's not forcing 4:3 sources to 16:9 aspect ratios out-of-the box. That's about all I care about there. Speakers Tested With are the following Frankenstein 3.1 mix of speakers: Martin Logan Motion 4 Fronts Hand-Me-Down Magnepan Center Channel Old Hand-Me-Down KL Subwoofer After burning out an entry level Harmon Kardon after ~2 years of service I decided it was time to purchase something higher-end. I walked into the Magnolia showroom intending to purchase an SR5010 from Marantz. The rep steered me in this Yamaha's direction though for the following 2 reasons: 1. I don't plan on picking up speakers for Atmos, i have some old 80's era cabs I've used as surrounds in previous households but I'm not in a hurry to hook them up due to space contraints and I'll probably be picking up small surrounds at some point. I likely won't be going for 7.1, 3.1 is fine for now, 5.1 in the near future. 2. Due to the presence of a Magnepan Center Channel which surprisingly matches the Motion 4s' folded ribbon tweeters' tonality very well, I wanted to have the flexibility to add on a separate amplifier via the SR5010's Preouts in the future. The rep advised I would likely be shopping in the higher echelon of power requirements if I was running a full 5 or 7 speaker Maggie system. With a bass crossover offloading a lot of work to my sub, and my small listening area I *should* be able to get away with the on-board amp in either the Marantz 5010 or this Yamaha. I agreed with the rep's first point, and he had me crank up the volume on both the Marantz and Yamaha in the show-room through the Showroom's Motion 4's to prove his 2nd point. I quickly realized I'd likely never have a reason to push this amp much higher than 50% volume given my small-medium sized living room and seating distance. I commend the rep for steering me towards something more in-line with my use-case than simply letting me purchase the more expensive product. Upon arriving home the initial wiring was pretty much the same as you'd see with any other surround receiver. The build quality out of the box felt solid, the binding posts didn't feel flimsy, banana clips inserted securely, and the HDMI ports seem to be set in the back panel well. I was ready to turn the unit on for the first time. The first thing I noticed now that I was in a more familiar listening space was the upgrade in power compared to my old entry-level AVR. The rep was right, at 50% volume I'd have the neighbors complaining. After a solid hour of use I could hardly feel any heat coming off the unit itself. I don't think the Maggie Center is going to be a concern moving forward. Out-of-the box without any adjustments the RX-A750 sounds great, but Yamaha has it's own proprietary room correction system, "YPAO," and the box comes with the mic used for this that plugs in easily to the front-panel. Once initiated, the auto-setup it was done in less than 5 minutes. I would have liked the ability to set the bass crossover for each channel individually as my front and center channel speakers don't have the same frequency ranges. I overrode YPAO's decision to set the overall bass crossover at 160hz and instead set it to 80hz. The YPAO's other adjustments all seemed to result in a net gain in sound quality otherwise. This included the YPAO EQ and volume settings. I've only had the receiver hooked up for a couple days now, but I've had a chance to explore most of the other features. Wi-Fi connection requires you to either use an apple device (not sure how this works) to do some kind of auto-setup, or manually enter your network name, encryption type, and password. As soon as I was on the network the receiver politely asked if I wanted an auto-firmware update. This took about 20 minutes to install but otherwise wasn't inconvenient. I haven't tried playing audio files off of my computer on the network yet but if the other features are any indication this shouldn't be too difficult. The bluetooth, pandora, spotify, etc all are easy enough to set up as well. Although, the look of the onscreen interface for these is decidedly low-res and reminds me of late 90's clip-art. Which brings me to my only con regarding the RX-A750.... The user interface of the on-screen menu UI is just atrocious and uninformative, and the remote is at best a neutral entity here. It's not clear immediately which button on the remote brings up the main menu, as there are two buttons labeled "Top Menu" and "Pop-Up Menu." These are for HDMI control-compatible devices if you have any plugged in... these are not what you're looking for. The one I was looking for is just below those labeled "On Screen." I guess that makes sense? As there is no button on the remote that simply cycles through inputs, your family members will need to memorize which HDMI # corresponds to the cable box, dvr, blu-ray player, etc. If you spend extra time to saving settings assigned to the "Scene" buttons, you'll may spare your family a few headaches as these are at least labeled BD/DVD, TV, etc. Finding what you're trying to get to within the menu is a matter of trial and error unless you've got your laptop handy with the PDF manual open for Ctrl+F purposes. It's entirely too easy to accidentally enable the goofy DSP presets, and it's not clear without consulting the manual which one of the options serves the purpose of "just the source signal/codec." The setting for unprocessed audio signal is called "straight." It's not "Standard," not "Surround Decoder" and it's certainly not "German Theater." Do yourself a favor and just hit the "straight" button on the remote and do your best to avoid accidentally triggering the other DSP modes as you trial & error your way through the menu options. When prompted to enter usernames/passwords for streaming service/network logins it takes a while to cursor over repeatedly. There's some extra space on the remote that could have been allocated to telephone-pad/t9 style text entry, but I'll admit that's getting nitpicky. At this price-point I would recommend this receiver to anyone looking to upgrade from entry level AVR equipment that doesn't need an overwhelming amount of power. If you've suddenly acquired a room full of power hungry floorstanders, or looking into Atmos, you'll likeyl want to step up to something in the $900-$1000 range and above. But if you're like me and just want something that will accommodate a good number of HDMI sources, and provide quality power to a 3.1 or 5.1 setup using your average mid to high-end speakers (My Magnepan CC notwithstanding), I don't think you can do better than the RX-A750.

This receiver does not have Dolby Atmos !!!!!!!!!!

The Bluetooth is amazing. Worth it. Best brand. Yamaha continues to do it right.

It's hooked up with HDMI cable to my TV but the sound cuts off after about 10 seconds , so I need to turn it back on again. Occasionally the sound cuts off for no apparent reason. Not sure if it's the receiver or HDMI. The geek squad guy seemed to this its just a signal thing but it's still annoying to me. Internet radio connection looses connection to the router after non use for a few days.
