This is a very user friendly receiver with great depth. Setup is quick and easy to navigate and it powers out 4 speakers in our covered patio nicely.

Purchased this to replace an older Yamaha home theater receiver and found it easy to set up and configure. The included microphone and auto-setup even recognized and highlighted that I had connected the subwoofer with the connections reversed. It recognized my connected devices and named their inputs correctly. Great sound. Would recommend.

Some may call this an entry level receiver. It’s not. I looked at the Yamaha receiver above this one that cost more money and is their top of the line 5.1 receiver. It has more features that I wouldn’t use and the specs aren't as good as this one. This is a powerful low distortion receiver without all of the frills. I say it’s near the top in 5.1 performance. Clean pure sound with plenty of power. Power is not an issue. I had a 5 year old Yamaha that drank some water and the magic smoke left it's soul. It died. RIP. This receiver replaced it. This receiver is wired up to the same speakers and it is a world of difference. Awesome.

Not perfect, but I'll still give it 5 stars. I needed this unit so I could use the surround sound speakers built into my house. I'm using this with an Apple TV (4th gen). I have the Apple TV hooked up to the HDMI1 input, and then the HDMI output to the TV. The 5 house speakers are directly connected to this receiver. The only issue I had is that the Apple TV could still not control the volume directly - I needed to train the Apple remote to control the receiver directly through IR. This was a pain as this receiver is installed in another room just behind the TV. I use an IR extender to wirelessly extend the IR signal, and now all works well, and I can control volume directly in the TV room with the Apple remote. This unit replaces an old Kenwood stereo receiver that I had for 30 years. I hope this lasts as long. The 5.1 channel sound is a nice upgrade. Another nice thing about this unit - you get an onscreen setup menu, which allows you to fine tune each speaker - useful as one of my speakers is blocked my a plant, so I can turn it up a little to even things out. Very nice.

I literally bought this for my pops and boy boy loves it it has so many features and good sound easy to hook up as well when i say its a good buy its a good buy

Excellent sound. Can easy add extra. Compodents like cd player. Dvd player

The Yamaha - 5.1-Ch. 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Receiver is a wonderful central component to a home entertainment system. It is an especially versatile device for anyone who is interested in the incorporation of both modern audio-visual (i.e., HDMI) and classic (i.e., RCA analog plug) components. There is a tremendous amount of flexibility as to what you can "hook up" to it. I have so many things running through it that you'd probably think I'm making this up (Tivo/Cable TV, Roku, Apple TV, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10 PC, Windows 10 Laptop, Stereo Turntable, 2 Stereo Cassette Recorders, CD/DVD player, Blue-ray/DVD Player, and I might have missed something). The way I did this is by adding a couple of HDMI 3-way switches and 1 analog 3-way switch to manage the whole thing and expand the component's options. There are a variety of input jacks on the back of the component, and that gave me the idea to "max it out." It even works. My only issue with the system is that the way the remote interfaces with the various component selections is somewhat confusing at times, especially when switching between HDMI and analog devices and navigating setup-type options and menu items. I still have some "learning curve" to master some of the inputs/outputs, especially the digital ones that I haven't used yet. I also would have liked to have a little more treble in the sound, but it's still great for most people. Anyway, this was another "great buy" from "Best Buy," and I would not hesitate at all to do it again. In fact, I wish I had bought two of them so that I'd have a setup in a couple of rooms. One other thing...it was lots of fun setting all of this up and making it work. For most people it would be much easier to set up because it already has more than enough options without adding switches, etc. This is a hobby for me, so don't get scared off.

Yamaha receivers are simply the best! Easy to connect and operate, and those are important issues! The sound quality is fantastic as well. Love my Yamahas!

I was looking just for a basic 5.1 channel receiver with good sound quality and decent power. I am not at all sorry that I chose to purchase this unit. It has very good quality sound, plenty of power and is relatively easy to set up. Yamaha has an excellent reputation for making good equipment, and this receiver is yet another reason why.

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.

Very good quality sound coming from my Klipsch speakers. Easy to set up and Bluetooth from phone for music. Lots of options for sound bar or from said speakers.

Amazing receiver at a perfect price. I know that one can easily spend thousands on a receiver. And for the most discerning, there is a market for that. But for the vast majority of us, a receiver that amplifies the sounds of our tv, streaming music, and turntable, is more than enough. This Yamaha does all that at a very high level. Yet at the same time, it’s SO easy to set up. (Trust me, I have a far more expensive Onkyo that required a full semester at MIT). Can’t recommend this high enough. Fully satisfied with the purchase.

Excellent 4K AV receiver at a great price. Plenty of hdmi and other inputs. Easy to set up and easy to opperate. Yamaha high quality and great surround sound. Works great with my new 4K QLED tv.

I am really enjoying my receiver it has enough out let's in the back, for more devices. It is easy to operate. I like the quality of the receiver. I also like the fact that it is light weight and compact. It makes my speakers sound really good.and it fits nicely in my entertainment center.

Yamaha fit the bill very nicely. Inputs for my DirecTV, Apple TV, and Blue Ray. Easy to rename all the input sources to match those names. Slight difficulty in establishing sound options by source type but after an hour of plunking around figured out how to do it. Nice unit pushing clean sound.

I had to replace my Yamaha receiver because it didn’t have HDMI and I wanted to connect my Hue Sync box to it to be able to change inputs. I’m not an audiophile and I don’t like loud noises, so...I didn’t need much. I got this open box - came in excellent shape with no remote, but my Harmony remote handles that. Connecting wires from my five speaker was a bit tight, but I labeled the wires from my old unit and eliminated confusion. Sound is way better than my old unit. I haven’t reached for the remote yet to turn down the action scenes and later turn up the dialogue - it’s pretty balanced. One feature I love is lip sync - the audio in a movie I watched was slightly off so I could adjust it so the lips matched up! If I had to do it again, I might look for a unit with two HDMI out.

Bought the speaker to,power my sound system, dvd, and tv. Chose this unit because it allowed bare wire speaker connections which I needed. Produces quality sound and was easy to set up and operate.

Fairly easy to set up and gives me great surround sound

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

Lots of features in this unit, with plenty of power to give a theater experience at home. Easy to set up and use. Only issue so far is finding the right code for my DirecTV remote, but I don't have a problem juggling remotes, so no biggie.
