Great Theatre Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Another home run from Yamaha
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am amazed at the capabilities of this machine! The setup microphone supplied with the unit is simply brilliant, making setup a breeze. I have been a Yamaha fan for decades, literally. Every single product I have owned with the Yamaha name on it has been excellent, from electronics to motorcycles.

Great for man cave speaker set up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great quality for what I need
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good receiver for the price. I don’t have a whole house sound system so didn’t need to buy more than was needed and this one is great for the 3 speaker system I have. I only wish that the manual would’ve told us we needed a different HDMI cable in order to use only one remote vs one for TV cable and one for receiver.

Most reliable receiver in my experience.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Open Box Deal
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Yamaha Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the best for a Home Entertainment Center; it does everything needed for a non-professional set up. So far, we have thoroughly enjoyed the unit's capabilities.

Finally got it up and running
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I got the receiver home, I was a little bit, overwhelmed with the complexity of hooking it up. After three weeks of frustration, I called Best Buy with my issues. Of course she suggested the geek squad, but I really couldn’t afford it. Thankfully she suggested I call Yamaha. It really worked out because the representative walked me through it step-by-step and I got everything up and working. I’m very happy with the receiver now.

Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Love this receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Easy connection!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from my 16 year old Yamaha receiver. Paired with a 65" Samsung Neo QLED TV and Klipsch surround sound speakers for the perfect setup! One HDMI cable connection through the eARC ports simplifies everything!

Bought for Yamaha reliability
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent 5.1 Receiver for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
