    Just what I needed for a small room

    This is my 3rd Yamaha receiver - I trust their products. Needed something inexpensive and uncomplicated for a small room. This receiver was perfect. Probably deserves 5 stars, but the bluetooth seems fussy and I haven't figured out why yet.

    Great quality and happy that it is a direct replacement for my old system. I was pleased this system was a new version and direct 1 for 1 for surround sound speakers already installed in my house.

    I don’t know what I am doing wrong but the sound keeps cutting out for a second or two randomly. It only happens when using tv audio through it, Bluetooth has no cut outs. I’m not super tech savvy so take this with a grain of salt because it is possibly user error. That being said it’s either tricky to set up or has audio issues. But when using Bluetooth I like it fine.

    Easy to setup, this is my second one. We put one in our movie room and the 2nd one in the motorhome to replace the out-dated system there. In both cases I needed a 5.1 system and this fit the build. Works great with DirectTV, Bluetooth and other sources. Greatly simplified the wiring from the older system.

    So far this has been a great unit. Setup was easy. I use Poke speakers and the sound is fantastic. I use the receiver mosly for home theater surround sound. I live in the country, only negative I have is the radio reception is not as good as I hoped.

    Had a lightning strike and replaced my fried Yamaha unit for this as it was the closest model. Very satisfied with performance. This receiver can put out a lot of volume so be certain your speakers can handle the output at high volume if you want clarity and no clipping of the music.

    Just One Glitch

    This is a reasonably priced home theater receiver that provides excellent sound . Mine has a strange glitch...when I set my system to come on all at once, the protection circuit puts the speakers on mute. I then have to turn off the receiver and then turn it back on for the speakers to fire up!

    I can't give this receiver the "Excellent" rating. Truth is their not made like they used to be. This is replacing my 22 year old Yamaha RXV 793 which is twice as beefy in the weight and size dept and packed more low end power. Sure everybody raves about this units price and hdmi connections BUT if you wanna get punched in the face I'd spend more on Yamaha's high end series!

    The receiver we chose was recommended by a person from the Geek Squad. We told him what we were looking for and he took the time to give us his recommendation, which was an excellent choice. Couldn't be happier!

    I bught this to replace Denon that died. Very happy with the versatility. Easy to set up. My only complaint, and a small one, is the manual. The quick set up is fine, but the online is vey cumbersome, not written for the average person, difficulet to navigate. I have learned more with trial and error

    I bought it to replace the previous model, which didn’t support the latest specifications. It does what I needed, plays the 4K content of my Roku in a 5.1 system, and now it has Bluetooth. Plenty of hdmi inputs.
