    Had a 20+ year old Yamaha receiver that finally gave up the ghost. While we aren't audiophiles and don't utilize all the options provided by this device, it is excellent and easy to use for what we need.

    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.

    I run a 3.1 system with this unit. It sounds amazing. I prefer the stabdard setting. It gives me a convincing surround sound even tho i cant set up surround speakers. Great overall!

    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.

    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.

    This receiver has a lot of features for the price and has a good sound. I haven't exercised all the features and may not ever do that. I've bought it mostly for music and it sounds great. I'm using it in 3.1 mode, LF, C, RF with a subwoofer and I am very happy. The receiver section gets radio well and the USB input is a convenience that I did not anticipate. Bluetooth transmit and receive are both useful and work well.

    This is my first av receiver and it was easy to set up, I paired with some Sony bookshelf speakers and it sound really good, however this receiver runs a little bit hot, so make sure it has good ventilation, I've had it for the last 7 months and haven't had any problems.

    Very Good 4.5 Stars System

    If I could rate 4.5 I would, because it is better than “good”. It’s at least “very good”. All that keeps it from an excellent 5 stars for me is wishing it had more HDMI inputs. Otherwise, it is great. Setup is easy, and if you have a decent surround system, your sound will be outstanding.

    Bought this to replace an older Yamaha 5.1-Ch receiver that was dropping HDMI connections. This one is working perfectly with my system and I can really notice the difference in sound and picture quality. Very easy to install and set up the speaker sound. I use a Harmony remote with it. I am using a Comcast Xfinity DVR, Samsung TV and a Panasonic Blu-ray player.

    was in the market for a good receiver, but nothing to crazy expensive. I was between this one and the sony, after reading the feature differences i decided this one was best. Definitely no regrets. It's hooked up to samsung 5 speaker surround, and polk audio 10" powered sub. Output is incredible.

    Good basic Receiver for the price . Bluetooth works well . I have smart tv so I'm not using the video through it . I'm using optical for the sound and its pretty good . I had a very old Harman Kardon budget receiver which was better sounding unit with the same speaker set . but overall Yamaha is decent considering the price .
