Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice system. Easy to set up and works great with the new TV

Works great. Pushes strong sound. Has all the hook ups you could want. I had one like this I bought 13 years ago, but the other one just gave out. Would turn itself off by itself, took a long time to output tv sound--probably because I never dusted it, but this new one is great. Looking to get another 15 years out of it.

Excellent sound. Can easy add extra. Compodents like cd player. Dvd player

Your typical well designed and manufactured Yamaha product. I've had many Yamaha receivers and products over 40+ years and they never disappoint. We replaced an older receiver, so we would have the A/V feature with our Sony 75" set. Drives our Klipsch speakers well. The remote and panel controls are quite easy to learn. The on screen controls and menus are easy to use is that is what one wants to use. This was one of the few A/V receivers that had both a AM and FM tuners at this price point. Great capture with a minimal FM dipole. AM capture was fine with the provide Loop antenna. We use most straight through on the audio and video. Great home theater experience.

Easy setup, room for wired speaker connections was sufficient, nice to be able to input four HDMI to a single TV HDMI connection. Decent sound quality, surround works well.

I was looking to upgrade my 10 year old + HK receiver and the choice was between this receiver and another brand receiver. I read the reviews on this one and reviewed the specs and my only concern was that on the negative reviews it was mentioned that this receiver ran extremely hot and due to the heat would stop working. I have been using this receiver for a month now and it runs cool, it does not get hot as others have claimed. The setup was easy, the sound is great and using it is just as easy. I would recommend this receiver to someone looking for a great budget AVR.

Best Buy had this receiver on sale so I decided to buy it because I wanted to upgrade my 15 year old Sony. The reason I wanted to upgrade was to add Bluetooth connectivity and USB options, what I didn't expect is how much BETTER this receiver sounds than the Sony, it sounds fantastic! I highly recommend, and will likely upgrade my Onkyo AV system to a Yamaha soon! I love it!

This receiver is great start for anyone new to using a good quality sound system. Your able to connect sound using an HDMI cable which is the best way to use it. Easy to use and very powerful sound.

This receiver is very good. Nice balanced sound and it was just what I needed and nothing I didn't. I didn't need a super-duper home theater experience - just a way to run program sound to my stereo speakers and subwoofer. My purchase was prompted because my great but ancient Onkyo receiver did not have HDMI inputs Set up was frustrating. Once everything was hooked up, the sound from the AM/FM receiver worked fine and sounded great, but there was no sound or video from the HDMI sources, even though they were connected properly. Some menu information from the sources even displayed on the television screen, but no audio or video programming content was available. All HDMI cords were new premium quality rated for HDMI 2.1 and 8K. Apparently, it may take time or repeated connections and disconnections before the receiver and an HDMI source perform a "handshake" to link properly. Once the "handshakes" took place, sources ran properly, including the pass-through from my cable box to the television when the receiver is off. Receivers have grown. This one is both wider and taller than older models. I had to remove the door including the brackets from the AV space under my television in order to fit the receiver with no room to spare, and at this time I have left the door off for better cooling. If you have older AV furniture, measure the space before you purchase.

Very user friendly receiver and many options to hook up all your other devices i.e. turntable, DVD player, etc, etc...

I got this to complete a surround sound system in a home I purchased, and it was easy to set up, and provides great sound, with options for over air radio, or hooking up bluetooth.

Great 5.1 receiver for the price. I run Thunder pro 2's on the rear and audio acoustic 500 watt 3 way speakers on the front and center and am not able to turn up past half way before my whole house is full of sound. Low budget concert at less than $600 for receiver AND speakers ...it's a set up that can't be beat for the money and highly recommend you try or any comparable speaker set up you wish. You will not be displeased. The receiver is easy to use and hook up. O, and by the way...with this set up and for my purposes....I do not need a subwoofer. The clarity is rich and the music is as a live concert.

I was weary of this product due to some negative remarks I read here, but I think mostly those remarks had less to do with the actual amplifier and more to do with service. That being said, I bought this because it fit my price range and criteria for capabilities. I have not been disappointed at all by this Amp. The Bluetooth connectivity wasn't intuitive so I actually had to read the directions to get it to sync but experienced no issues once it was. The sound is great and it works well. The HDMI ports were tight (as they should be) and the remote is easy to function. I give this Amp a two thumbs up.

We moved into a house with built-in-ceiling speakers. I got this AVR to connect to our Panasonic TV, speakers, and Roku. Seamless integration and the roku remote works through ARC to control the TV and the sound. Wonderfully easy setup. Great quality sound. Our media room has become an escape!

Replaced a 20 year old Yamaha amp and this thing ROCKS ! More features and really like how you can shape the sound to your particular room via the distance of each speaker and the individual volume settings. Highly recommend Yamaha amps.

Coming from Sony after 25 years, it's eye-opening how much more intuitive and easier to use this receiver is. The Sony 10yo I replaced -while sonically and aesthetically pleasing- had some functional quirks I was eager to rid myself of. I like the "scene" option where you store a source with the preferred sound settings so you're off and running in an instant. Setup was a breeze and the 4K upscaling seems to work well on non-4K sources. I also appreciate the on-board Bluetooth since all my music is store in my iphone. I might be a permanent convert to Yamaha

Fairly easy to set up and gives me great surround sound

I have to say up front I am retired and so do not have unlimited means, so price was a major consideration when I bought this unit. Bang for the buck it excels. I grew up in the sixties and seventies. A unit like this would have cost well over a thousand dollars back then, and half the features

Yamaha-5.1-Ch.4K UltraHD A/V Home Theater receiver it is perfect for my needs. I connect him with my 5 spikers and my Yamaha 5 CD players, with the DVD player and I have a dream Home Theater.

After using it for the last few months, I can safely say that it's worth the money! However, it does have it's quirks. For example... I had an issue with it cutting back on after 3-5 minutes after powering the unit off. So I ended up having to turn off the HDMI control setting so the system isn't randomly turning back on (seemed to do the trick). I guess the other devices are interfering with it somehow. Even turned the bluetooth off on both the receiver and other devices, but that didn't seem to work. Also had an issue where it will sometimes randomly change to another audio input setting on the receiver when changing the t.v. audio input (on my Sony t.v.), back to the receiver audio setting. There's also a long delay (20-30 seconds) on the receiver when cutting it back on (because I'll often just switch to the t.v. speakers late at night so it's not loud when watching t.v.). All in all I would recommend. Plenty of sound settings, and tons of customization on the receiver. Although it will take you awhile to get used to it if you're a novice with newer audio receivers. Thinking about taking this one back seeing as it may be defective. Or, these particular Yamaha receivers might just have bugs.
