can't really compare to other quality brands of new video/audio receivers but coming from a Sony reciever from the 90's totally worth the price just for the bluetooth and control of crossover and hertz settings,speaker distance settings to fine tune the sound to your preferences it makes my cerwin vega vs 120's sound crisp clear and shake the house when asked just turn up the bass and if u still crave bass just hit the extra bass button. cool bonus that when connected to a TV that the radio menu comes on your TV and it auto detects what is connected to it and displays the device name you don't have to name the input and comes with a ypao microphone( yamaha parametric room acoustic optimizer) and will actually tune the sound for you

I upgraded to this receiver to allow audio playthrough HDMI (ARC), as well as deliver enough power to my Klipsch 5.1 speakers. It has been great, and is a great value for the money.

Bought it to replace my 10-year old Sony receiver to have 4K and Bluetooth transmit. I use a Bluetooth headphone when on the treadmill. There's also noticeable improvement on the sound of my powered subwoofer when watching movies. It's really great especially for the price.

Works great. Pushes strong sound. Has all the hook ups you could want. I had one like this I bought 13 years ago, but the other one just gave out. Would turn itself off by itself, took a long time to output tv sound--probably because I never dusted it, but this new one is great. Looking to get another 15 years out of it.

The center channel went out on my old AVR from 1996 and I wanted a basic surround sound system. Though I have never owned one, I've always trusted the Yamaha brand and was not disappointed. It turns out the Cinema DSP sound field effects, something I thought was going to be "gimmicky," is a game changer!
The Owner's Manual stinks, but the YPAO microphone makes optimizing the soundfield a snap.
If you are looking for a budget/basic surround system for a small to medium sized space, the RX-V385 is for you.

Got this to replace an older Yamaha that sadly gave up the ghost. This stereo hooked up to my LG TV and with a few onscreen menus via the HDMI output, it was configured just the way I like it. I used the microphone included to self-tune the audio characteristics of the receiver in relation to the room. This is a great feature of the Yamaha that my older receivers didn't have. Powers on and off via CEC sent from my LG TV, works as I'd expect. Bluetooth works fine on it as well. Great value.

This tuner is easy to set up. It has 4 HDMI pass thrus. A microphone for easy surround set up. The sound is warm and wonderful. It has DTS, Dolby D, and pro logic decoders. For some one with no need for lots of fancy confusing bells and whistles. just a good solid sound system

Easy setup, sound quality is good for the room receiver was set up. Best part is the single HMDI out to TV. Nothing like minimising the cable clutter. Recommend this if in the market for a receiver that will handle everyday use.

Great for my needs. Run my bedroom TV system through this using my pc as the HDMI video source. Hooked up my TV via the Toslink audio and this receiver runs a pair of Bose 901's with ease. The sound is crisp and vibrant. This was a very inexpensive choice for my needs. After a year, I'm quite happy.

Best Buy had this receiver on sale so I decided to buy it because I wanted to upgrade my 15 year old Sony. The reason I wanted to upgrade was to add Bluetooth connectivity and USB options, what I didn't expect is how much BETTER this receiver sounds than the Sony, it sounds fantastic! I highly recommend, and will likely upgrade my Onkyo AV system to a Yamaha soon! I love it!

Replaced a 20 year old Yamaha amp and this thing ROCKS ! More features and really like how you can shape the sound to your particular room via the distance of each speaker and the individual volume settings. Highly recommend Yamaha amps.

A close lightning strike took a channel out of our older Yamaha receiver in the bedroom. It was a good one for several years. Looked at this one for some time and finally decided on it. We've owned a Yamaha RXV-2700 receiver since the year it came out for our system in the living room. Several years ago too now. This thing has been on almost every day since we purchased it. Love it. Never a single problem and sounds fantastic with Klipsch Chorus II's , Klipsch Academy center, Klipsch KG2.5 rears. Hsu sub up front and a Klipsch sub near field under end table at couch too. Will always stick with Yamaha. This new receiver for our bedroom is pretty powerful too. Great sounding as expected. And at this price! Just need a better surge protector now..

Your typical well designed and manufactured Yamaha product. I've had many Yamaha receivers and products over 40+ years and they never disappoint. We replaced an older receiver, so we would have the A/V feature with our Sony 75" set. Drives our Klipsch speakers well. The remote and panel controls are quite easy to learn. The on screen controls and menus are easy to use is that is what one wants to use.
This was one of the few A/V receivers that had both a AM and FM tuners at this price point. Great capture with a minimal FM dipole. AM capture was fine with the provide Loop antenna. We use most straight through on the audio and video. Great home theater experience.

I was looking to upgrade my 10 year old + HK receiver and the choice was between this receiver and another brand receiver. I read the reviews on this one and reviewed the specs and my only concern was that on the negative reviews it was mentioned that this receiver ran extremely hot and due to the heat would stop working. I have been using this receiver for a month now and it runs cool, it does not get hot as others have claimed. The setup was easy, the sound is great and using it is just as easy. I would recommend this receiver to someone looking for a great budget AVR.
