    Yamaha! Was setting up a surround sound home theater and researched many receivers. Yamaha stood out because they use discrete power transistors and higher quality DA converters than other manufacturers. This translates to surprisingly life-like audio from a variety of sources. The included calibration microphone adjusts the sound from your speakers for optimum playback from whatever speakers you may have. Plus, the Bluetooth connectivity lets you play music from your smart phone in Dolby Pro Logic surround!

    Hooked it up to my original tv room speakers and it worked.Not enough power to work them like my older yamaha,but i meant to use them for my bedroom .Hooked it up in the bedroom to klipsch and bose speakers and it worked great. After connecting to a bluray player low and behold the onscreen menu showed up and i could set the unit up thru the ARC connection. I used the Yappy mic and setup was done. I like it ,Don't put anything on top,this unit gets HOT

    I absolutely love this receiver. Works perfect with my 5.1 set up and my 4k TV. If you are interested in a solid plug and play receiver this is the one for you.

    Liking this purchase for the quality and value, was not able however to get any help re a technical question as far as one of the setting which I finally figured it out, but frustrating that you cat get a simple question answered, first its challenging to reach anyone at all, and then no one can answer a failry routine question.

    read the reviews, decided to replace my previous system. Just use optical in from tv, and connected speakers. did the super-easy audio calibration with the supplied mic. Sounds Great. I use Direct mode and love it for everything: regular tv, music, and surround sound movies.

    Great product. We finally decided to replace our old Yamaha unit with this one. It easily connected to all of our existing components. Still trying to figure out some of the features, but we are very happy with it. Should have upgraded sooner.

    Not the best sound quality.

    I upgraded to this from an old school zenith receiver that i've had for years. Wanted to get something with some more surround sound options, and was hoping to find something with a little better audio clarity. Was planning on going Onkyo or Sony this time out, but the best buy employee talked me into grabbing this cause it ticked almost all my boxes. But I didn't realize the harmonic distortion was so high, and wanted to give it a fair shot. So i've been using it almost a year, got some more surround speakers to finish my set-up. And the quality is still lacking. Bass response is alright, but my speakers sound muddy in a lot of songs. And the surround settings are kinda weak. I can't hear any vocals on any of the presets. But the sound effects are insanely loud. (this with the dialogue setting turned completely up mind you). So I'm going to try the Sony Route next and see how it goes. Maybe use this upstairs for small gatherings. Cause I wouldn't say it's useless. But if you want great audio quality and a great movie watching experience this is not your best bet. And I have a full Elac 5.1 setup for reference.

    Replaced a Kenwood reciever sound quality remains about the same. Adjustments on the Yamaha are excessive many which would never be used. Would prefer easier to get to adjustments for treble, bass, and equalizer. Over all quality and setting good for price.
