Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had this receiver for two years now. It is paired with two Klipsch reference speakers and it sounds very good. I am using it as a two channel system in a smaller room. I am using all four of the HDMI inputs. I am also using the optical input for broadcast TV sound. Everything works perfectly. I like the layout of the setup menus and the remote control is fine. If your power needs are modest and you care about sound quality then you will like this receiver.

best thing for the beginners who may never go beyond that. the quality and the price is unbeatable. paired with the good speakers (Polk S series and Sony subwoofer) the sound is true 5.1 and you can hear it while watching over the air TV and Netflix movies. I am sure the $1000+ system may sound better, but for the typical large living room setup it is absolutely great.

Great receiver, amazing sound, and many options, make sure to login and activate the ARIC in both the AVR & TV to make it work right.

Sounds great plus the blue tooth makes it easy to play music from my iPhone

Not a bad sounding unit. Setup and programming is decent. Speaker config is easy. Just plug in mic and run program and it does the rest. Must have decent to high quality speakers.

This Yamaha receiver replaced a 20 year old Onkyo receiver. This is not the top of the line by any means, but it works great and has a lot of updated features. Have a turntable and sub woofer hooked up to it and the sound is very good. The radio tuner/antenna are fantastic on this which was a definite plus.

This receiver is easy to hook up and I have a lot to hook up. The sound is amazing and using it with the TV , Satellite and TV work very well. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic sound and all the options including Bluetooth. The unit arrived in like new quality with all components and manual. I highly recommend this unit and Yamaha products.

I love the final result after I finally got this receiver hooked up. It works great. The only issue I have is the instructions were confusing and were not user friendly. Maybe every other person hooking up a receiver have prior experience, but I have none. Me getting the receiver hooked up to my TV and in-wall speakers took way longer than it should have due to trial and error efforts that were substitution for more concise instructions.

Great sound at an even better price. Sounds like you are in a theater

If youre looking for a simple 5.1 surround sound setup look no further. I love this receiver, it's a budget model with no wi fi or atmos but it has every other feature you could think of. I paired with the Klipsch 5.1 Reference Theater Pack (google it, it's great) and its a match made in heaven.

Set up tv and DVD player with 5.1 speakers within 2 hours and sounds great

I had a previous Yamaha that was 7.1 channel. After a few years it broke down and i now needed a new one. This model was half the cost of my previous one AND it has 4K. if you are running your cable thru your receiver, then you need a 4k receiver; otherwise, you only have an excellent HD picture as opposed to an AWESOME 4K picture. Oh? the sound is going to be relative to your speakers. There are a lot of features on this receiver as well. you can now use bluetooth as well as a plug in headphone.

This receiver works great and is very easy to set up it is a very good buy.

Happy with the features and capabilities. Setup was relatively easy. Perfect size, power and performance for a condo.

This replaced a Yamaha RX-V481 that got fried in a lightning strike. Not super fancy, but does everything I need it to do and at the right price. Very satisfied with it.

I bought this for my parents new home theater setup. Connects to AppleTV and broadcasts surround sound very well. Easy to setup and troubleshoot/calibrate.

Solid receiver that gets the job done. Very easy to setup.

Great AV receiver for the money! Sounds great and plenty of power for a modest speaker package!

Excellent so far for the price. I used this to replace a sound bar in my bedroom that quit working. I decided I wanted to be able to listen to music as well in my bedroom and I tried a few other sound bars and just wasn't satisfied with the sound for music. I bought this system and replaced the front speakers with some Sony SSCS5 speakers that I bought for $75 and this configuration sounds really good in my bedroom.
