Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to replace an old Denton that stopped working. I use it for karaoke, and this Yamaha sounds so much better. Beautiful sound that is clear in every range. Rich, fill bass, tight middle, and crisp clean highs. I love it.

It's hard to find quality receivers right now because of supply issues, but when I saw this Yamaha available at Best Buy for $349 (which matched Amazon's price), it was a no-brainer. This is a nice easy-to-use receiver; I'm running eARC HDMI with my new TCL Roku tv and Bluray/Cable with a Kenwood sub and two full range Polk audio speakers. It sounds great, but I think there's a few too many sound choices on the menu, some of which add a lot of reverb; not sure I will ever use them. Quality-wise: I'm still using a 1986 model Yamaha receiver in my basement gym, still going strong...

Perfect system for a cabana and pool. Easy set up, plug and play!

This is a solid choice for a standard home theater installation (i.e., your living room). Improved over earlier version with standard 4K and a nice assortment of sound options. I find that this power output is MORE than sufficient for standard listening as well as the "ramp it up" movie / concert events. Reasonably priced and our prior one lasted >10 years before a power surge took it out.

Can't beat it for the price. So far so good. The Yamaha RX-V3858 was a good buy.

Reall loud, clear sound, 4k, and has bluetooth. This is a great receiver only thing i would fix would be the control setup. Really big control and have to go through all the inputs until you find the one you need.

This is a great receiver/amp for the price. It replaced a 15 year old Sherwood amp and works well with my Dish receiver, Bose 5.1 speaker system and Samsung 55" TV if you don't mind using 3 remotes to watch TV.

voices come out great on this from disks which is a plus with my hearing!

Good value for the money with this Yamaha. Worked for my more simple solution. Only problem I ran into is converting my subwoofer to the connection on the Receiver.

We bought one of these for the living room as a replacement for a SONY (which was damaged after a lightning episode). The setup wasn't "a walk in the park" so we called Geek Squad for a proper installation. Wow. The integrated video from our 4KUHD TV (which was previously purchased from Best Buy) and the sound from this Yamaha is fantastic. The fait d'complait' (sorry about the French meaning "final move") for the home made us happy when this item completed the Master Bedroom setup with our LG 3D TV. Who cares about the pandemic closing the local movie theaters when you can be happy with these home setups?

Has everything we needed for a nice 5.1 setup. We didn't need to worry about passing through or upscaling to 4k, etc.. this does the job for the right price

i love the sound. works great. Easy to set up. would recommend

After receiving assistance by phone, my husband is enjoying the sound

Very nice receiver. Easy connection, easy setup. The on screen menu is very easy to navigate. The sound is good. Going to put it through its paces and see where we go. Good inexpensive 4K unit

I am not using this as an AV receiver. This was purchased to replace an old stereo that I use on a daily basis. I had to pick an AV receiver in order to get the correct outputs and inputs for sub woofers and other equipment attached. After a short amount of time going through the manual I was able to assign the names of the inputs to make this easier to use. I was able to find a good alternative to the old Loudness function that seems to no longer exist. I am currently using it as just a stereo. I will be moving it to our 2nd living room once I have had time to rebuild my old "1977" stereo receiver. I picked the Yamaha Natural sound AV receiver because I wanted to match it with an old Yamaha Natural sound amp. I feel it will be used for years to come.

Just an upgrade of the one I bought 20 years ago from you; really the same connections except for HMDI and 4k, but good price and good receiver; having some problems with the HMDI connections but I'll figure it out. Haven't go the DVD online yet.

Sounds are great in my livingroom. I can listen to the radio while still watching TV with the sound off. Its great.

It is hard to imagine a greater value/dollar than this outstanding Yamaha receiver. I have been partial to Yamaha receivers for some years and presently have three Yamahas and one Onkyo in use (yes, I am an audio freak but also a lifelong professional musician and a very critical listener). This receiver was an inexpensive way to update my A/V system without buying more than necessary for the installation. The sound is superb and the output is altogether adequate for a relatively large room. Were I buying a receiver again today, I definitely would buy the same one.

Awesome! High quality, easy to use, assembly easy. G
