    For the price this receiver packs great sound and power. Love the bluetooth as this is used to power our outdoor system.

    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.

    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.

    Super pleased with this inexpensive receiver. Had to replace a Marantz receiver that had tanked. The Yamaha was easy to install and I'm thrilled with how my whole system is working. I use this with my main system.

    Open Box Deal

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I have to say up front I am retired and so do not have unlimited means, so price was a major consideration when I bought this unit. Bang for the buck it excels. I grew up in the sixties and seventies. A unit like this would have cost well over a thousand dollars back then, and half the features

    Bought for Yamaha reliability

    So far so good. I didn't need much in the way of bells and whistles, but this one is a really great value. There are plenty of HDMI and other inputs. It drives my speakers just fine, and even supports Dolby Vision which is an upgrade over my other unit. The real test will be how well it will hold up over time. I have this receiver outside in a stone enclosure (outdoor kitchen). I have had my other Yamaha for several years inside and assume the brand reliability gives me the best chance for surviving through the mild winters of TX, as well as the scorching heat in the summer. A friend of mine down the street has gotten over 3 years (and counting) from his similar setup. My only complaint is that not all of the functions seem intuitive...but neither was a Pioneer I had many moons ago.
