    I've been a fan of Yamaha for many years, guitars, keyboards, electronics... This amp is no exception. It's simple, user friendly, and the bass tones coming through my sub are full and deep! It has plenty of inputs as well. I would ask for a couple more old school RCA inputs if there was anything I can think of that I would want to change, I still use cassette decks, and a feed from my computer that is analog. But I was able to connect everything I wanted, but I have used all the analog inputs.

    Product has fabulous sound. One quirky thing with my setup is that I cannot get my cable tv to play when hitting the TV quick button on the remote. I have everything set up correctly, but I have to use the HDMI 2 input. The TV button play nothing. All the other lighting/quick buttons work properly. But I am keeping the unit because the sound is excellent for the value.

    This Yamaha home theater system is quite a step up from my last system. The sound quality is excellent. All of my other devices (Roku, DVD, etc) are easily accessed through the receiver. I'm still trying to get it to sync with my new LG tv. It powers on with the tv but I have to turn it off then back on for the sound to work. Most likely user error though. It also receives several more radio stations than my last unit did on FM.

    I am amazed at the capabilities of this machine! The setup microphone supplied with the unit is simply brilliant, making setup a breeze. I have been a Yamaha fan for decades, literally. Every single product I have owned with the Yamaha name on it has been excellent, from electronics to motorcycles.

    Very powerful unit. Has many settings, some of which I don't fully understand. On my desired setting sound is very clear and music is reproduced very well. Has many inputs and accommodates all of my needs and devices.

    I needed an upgrade/replacement for my old receiver (which was over 15 years old and finally gave out.) This one is great for the price, was easy to set up and gets the job done for my basement TV and speakers. Happy with my purchase and would buy another one if i ever needed for a different TV in another room of the house.

    Most reliable receiver in my experience.

    I have two perfectly good Yamaha receivers but needed to replace one due to hdcp 2.2 to go with our new 4k tv. Everything works as it should. I like the old remote better because you could pick the hdmi directly as opposed to scrolling up or down. I did program the colored buttons so this helps. I had a Sony for 15 years but the reliability does not appear to be the same for the newer receivers. I had two Denons and they had issues in a relatively short period of time but of course outside of warranty. I have not owned the high end units so I cannot attest to their reliability. For me the Yamahas have been the most reliable receivers for under $500. Fine the manual online. It helps tremendously when setting up this device with your tv.

    I saw this in the Open Box section of my local Best Buy. It was just the receiver with nothing else. No box, remote, etc. I have another similar receiver at home and that remote works for this on as well. Plus my TV can control the volume. I gave it to my kids to use with their xbox. It sounds great and has better features than the one my wife and I use. I may steal this one from them and give them the old one.

    Needed to replace 25-year-old receiver so I could connect our smart-tv to it. Did not want to spend a lot of money because we do not use it with our tv very much. Looked at this unit and the Sony unit that has the same price. Glad I bought this one. So many sound fields and quality sound. Has plenty of power for our open floor plan 18x20 great room, connecting dining room, and breakfast room.

    Really good receiver for the price. I don’t have a whole house sound system so didn’t need to buy more than was needed and this one is great for the 3 speaker system I have. I only wish that the manual would’ve told us we needed a different HDMI cable in order to use only one remote vs one for TV cable and one for receiver.

    This Yamaha receiver has great sound. I have a set of Energy Micro 5.1 speakers hooked up and it sounds fantastic. Setup is not quiet as user friendly as some and requires a little more doing than others but it's still not too very difficult. I really like all of the speaker hook ups are binding posts.
