Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the fourth HT received that I have owned. First was a Sony (analog only, no decoding), second was a Yamaha (no HDMI), next was a Pioneer that just failed after 9 years. This was to replace it. I bought this since my old Yamaha is still working after 17 years. I may have given it 5 stars except for on critical issue. I set it up according to the manual. STB to HDMI-2, BD player to HDMI-1 and UHD TV to HDMI out into the ARC designated HDMI port on the TV. When I turn the TV on using the STB remote, the receiver turns on originally displaying the STB, but then changes to Audio-1. I get no sound until I use the Yamaha remote to change the input to HDMI-2. Since an HT receiver is primarily used to provide the audio for a TV, having to use two different remotes to get started is ridiculous.

Bought this to replace my old Onkyo and couldn’t be happier! Has great punch for an entry level receiver. Not to flashy but very user friendly buttons. I absolutely love the audio set up mode for speaker set up. Takes the guesswork out.

the sound is great and it is very easy to use. looking forward to using it for a long time

Reasonably priced, solid build quality, and sounds great so far. Plays really nice with an Apple TV 4K and LG UHD TV. I’m just using a 3.0 setup and being able to turn up the center channel for louder voices was what I wanted most. Someday I’ll build a 5.1 system around it.

I bought it to replace the previous model, which didn’t support the latest specifications. It does what I needed, plays the 4K content of my Roku in a 5.1 system, and now it has Bluetooth. Plenty of hdmi inputs.

Very happy with it sounds good and has great features

Great price ans got exactly what I needed. Thank you Best Buy!

Works really well. Sounds great for a budget reciever.

Of all my many receivers, I believe this yamaha receiver is my all time favorite. Powerful, rich sounds YPAO enabled! Love the interaction with my speakers! Very good on the pocket, and as with other Yamaha sound products, it's a good deal and will make you happy you chose it! Make good music-try this unit out for size! it's great!

All things considered, I am very pleased with this surround receiver. It does everything I want to do. Digital decoding, fairly good stereo sound and plenty of power. The Bluetooth is nice and it's being used more than I thought it would. Also, the headphone out is superb sound quality. I'm glad I bought it.

Very nice, easy to hook up. Instructions were easy to follow once I got them online. Puts out the sound to my Bose 5 speaker w\woofer system.

i have always liked yamaha products/ this one is no different, living in a smaller place than i have in the past, this unit works well for my needs. is it perfect? close, i wish it had duel zones si i could run another set of speakers in another room, but at this price point i cant complain.

Works great with Panasonic projector.with 30 feet cable.Had to return a different receiver that was cheaper in price would not shut off with Apple TV. this unit works great would recommend

Easy to use, great for a small theater room, good power

Great AV receiver. Easy set up and on screen menu. The banana jacks make speaker cable installation super easy. Sound is very good. I looked at several AV receivers, this is the best of the ones I looked at.

Bought this because the new Wii fit's audio didn't work over my old optical signal, and my old amplifier didn't do HDMI switching. Setup is a breeze. I really like the osd to the TV. The auto profile for your room speakers with the included mic is a nice feature at this price point. No complaints.

Great receiver - this replaces the same model that was 5 years old and did not have enough HDCP 2.2 outlets plus this newer model had some more features that are impressive. A lot of receiver for the money. Using the old one in the bedroom.

This receiver is the perfect upgrade at the right price. The easy-to-follow setup instructions and great backward compatibility with old HDTV's and peripherals make it a no-brainer purchase for me. Highly recommended.

Best bang for your buck when it comes to 5.1 4k. Works great for speakers that dont need too much power to be driven.

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