Customer Ratings & Reviews

No bells and whistles, but straight power! Bought this for my son’s house at college. It pushes the speakers to their limits with clean, booming power! Low cost, how output!

Fairly easy to set up and gives me great surround sound

Love it! Very easy to operate and really sounds great.

I needed an upgrade/replacement for my old receiver (which was over 15 years old and finally gave out.) This one is great for the price, was easy to set up and gets the job done for my basement TV and speakers. Happy with my purchase and would buy another one if i ever needed for a different TV in another room of the house.

I have two perfectly good Yamaha receivers but needed to replace one due to hdcp 2.2 to go with our new 4k tv. Everything works as it should. I like the old remote better because you could pick the hdmi directly as opposed to scrolling up or down. I did program the colored buttons so this helps. I had a Sony for 15 years but the reliability does not appear to be the same for the newer receivers. I had two Denons and they had issues in a relatively short period of time but of course outside of warranty. I have not owned the high end units so I cannot attest to their reliability. For me the Yamahas have been the most reliable receivers for under $500. Fine the manual online. It helps tremendously when setting up this device with your tv.

Had the same model taken out by lightening. love this receiver. Sounds great! Set up is easy, Bluetooth is seemless.

I saw this in the Open Box section of my local Best Buy. It was just the receiver with nothing else. No box, remote, etc. I have another similar receiver at home and that remote works for this on as well. Plus my TV can control the volume. I gave it to my kids to use with their xbox. It sounds great and has better features than the one my wife and I use. I may steal this one from them and give them the old one.

Very powerful unit. Has many settings, some of which I don't fully understand. On my desired setting sound is very clear and music is reproduced very well. Has many inputs and accommodates all of my needs and devices.

Sounds great and easy to install im thinking about buying another reciver in the near future

Needed to replace 25-year-old receiver so I could connect our smart-tv to it. Did not want to spend a lot of money because we do not use it with our tv very much. Looked at this unit and the Sony unit that has the same price. Glad I bought this one. So many sound fields and quality sound. Has plenty of power for our open floor plan 18x20 great room, connecting dining room, and breakfast room.

It’s a decent stereo I have 4 for some reason but I think that is my second favorite it has good overall sound and grate for radio and has !bluetooth!

This Yamaha receiver has great sound. I have a set of Energy Micro 5.1 speakers hooked up and it sounds fantastic. Setup is not quiet as user friendly as some and requires a little more doing than others but it's still not too very difficult. I really like all of the speaker hook ups are binding posts.

So far so good. I didn't need much in the way of bells and whistles, but this one is a really great value. There are plenty of HDMI and other inputs. It drives my speakers just fine, and even supports Dolby Vision which is an upgrade over my other unit. The real test will be how well it will hold up over time. I have this receiver outside in a stone enclosure (outdoor kitchen). I have had my other Yamaha for several years inside and assume the brand reliability gives me the best chance for surviving through the mild winters of TX, as well as the scorching heat in the summer. A friend of mine down the street has gotten over 3 years (and counting) from his similar setup. My only complaint is that not all of the functions seem intuitive...but neither was a Pioneer I had many moons ago.

Easy setup. Quality sound. Instructions were easy to understand.

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

was in the market for a good receiver, but nothing to crazy expensive. I was between this one and the sony, after reading the feature differences i decided this one was best. Definitely no regrets. It's hooked up to samsung 5 speaker surround, and polk audio 10" powered sub. Output is incredible.

Bought this to replace an older Yamaha 5.1-Ch receiver that was dropping HDMI connections. This one is working perfectly with my system and I can really notice the difference in sound and picture quality. Very easy to install and set up the speaker sound. I use a Harmony remote with it. I am using a Comcast Xfinity DVR, Samsung TV and a Panasonic Blu-ray player.

This receiver has a lot of features for the price and has a good sound. I haven't exercised all the features and may not ever do that. I've bought it mostly for music and it sounds great. I'm using it in 3.1 mode, LF, C, RF with a subwoofer and I am very happy. The receiver section gets radio well and the USB input is a convenience that I did not anticipate. Bluetooth transmit and receive are both useful and work well.

I have a 5.1 setup in my family room. It delivers good power for the size of the room which is about 14x19. Easy to use and setup. The output is 70 watts per channel. The way the product was displayed was confusing to the output so hence why I am clarifying.

Easy set up, walks you through step by step. Also plenty of options to play around with. Super User friendly. Make sure you have a base speaker to get the full power and effect of this receiver. Picture quality looks great on 4K tv, just ensure you buy the 4K hdmi cables(from Amazon..and not BB..you know why..*coughs over priced*. Also upstreams @ 4K. Obviously must have 4K tv for 4K content. =)
