Has awesome sound and makes our theater room sound amazing

Its OK for the price does the job, its smaller than other models. Fits perfectly on the counter.

for the money is perfect for the shop! now to find the music everyone can tolerate...lol

I'm not happy with this Yamaha. I have been adding inputs to this Yamaha and it does not recognize the new input device or that there's even something using a new input. This has happened with both HDMI and RCA inputs; The only success I've had is adding the input, turning the device on and doing a factory reset on the Yamaha. Well below my expectations for a Yamaha product,

4k is not compatible with Amazon Fire Stick 4K. Rest of functions were fine. We returned because it did not properly work as Amazon Fire Stick is our means of streaming. The Blue Tooth is hard to connect. Spend the money on the better Yamaha. We love the Brand but this is too value oriented to do what it needs to do.

This receiver was a bit bulky and wasn't easy to install

It's an alright receiver for now. I wanted one a little more higher wattage but this will do.

I originally bought a refurbished Denon AVR 540. I only bought it over the Yamaha because the Yamaha was unavailable in the US. After struggling to set the Denon up for about a week the Yamahas suddenly showed up for a very short period of time, and I managed to get one from BB. I sent the Denon back to the refurbish shop where the technicians could again pretend to fix it. The Yamaha has been so easy to set up, and so far is flawless. The Denon had serious HDMI issues. It would change inputs on it's own, TV would just turn off, I'd be watching Roku through the receiver and all of a sudden it would switch to DVD, etc. The Yamaha works as planned. I hit the button for TV, the receiver comes on, the tv comes on, the Satellite comes on. If I activate the bluetooth on my iPad the receiver comes on, it switches to bluetooth, and it starts playing (if I've activated Pandora, etc). I can listen to BT or FM while watching sports. If I hit the DVD button the receiver comes on, the DVD player comes on, the TV comes on (not necessary for me, as I only use the DVD player as a CD player) The sound is fine. This setup is in our bedroom, with a 43" Samsung 8000 series TV, with 3 Paradigm Atom speakers across the front, a very cheap Monoprice 8" subwoofer, and no surround speakers. Not nearly an audio or videophile system, but great for a bedroom. The Yamaha handles the processing for a 3.1 channel system beautifully. The auto speaker setup was easy, fast, and effective. The unit is very adjustable. You can change the volume display from the actual db setting to the relative setting (0=100) which always seems easier and more useful. You can program the extra bass and the compressed music enhancer to come on with appropriate sources. This is a great secondary theater receiver, and a great for the price unit for a main theater. I would think about how much expansion I might need in the future, and how much of the current and future Surround processing I think I'd utilize, as this unit is not the current state of the art, and not very accomodating to many more inputs than I am utilizing. But for my purposes it is perfect.

We had to take it back. The product would cut in and out and then shut down. WE thought it was too hot in the Entertainment Center so we removed the windows on the doors. That didn't work so we tried to use the product outside of the entertainment center and it still cut out. I took it back and got a Sony.

This receivers are amazing, but this one did not shows an picture in my TV.

The set up of this item is so involved and the cost was to high.

Had to return, would not work with Vizio sound bar, useless purchase.

I will definitely recommend this the others. I works great!

It would cut out for 2 seconds at a time while watching movies. It would happen every time after a couple weeks unfortunately. Had to return it but otherwise it was a great value.

13 months after purchase, sound went out. Terribly complicated settings with very little hall as to what various settings mean. Would have been totally lost except for setup app from Yamaha.

Nice receiver but not as intuitive to use as I would have liked

Ten minutes out of box I could smell burning and the receiver got hot to the touch. Then the receiver cut itself off. It would not come on again. I return back to the store for a refund.

Some movies are hard to understand what they are saying.

This product broke after 3-1/2 months , Best buy Refused to fix it 1st time & didht even tell me we had to make app , said we had to go to Yamaha

ok purchase for the price ........................
