Perfect all around
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound for my living room with 14 foot ceilings. Very easy setup and functions if you just read the manual first. After reaserching several home theater packages and sound bars I went to bestbuy fully expecting to pay the $479.99 as advertised online and the package rang up at $435 I noticed a few days later. So I was even happier with the price lol. I went with this package because of the 4k video in/out and Bluetooth option for listening to spotify etc. Once the speakers are in place and set up in your space the YPAO microphone this package came with does all the work for you when comes to sound settings and calibration for speaker distance and db/EQ levels. You just plug the mic in and set it in the center of the speakers at ear level and let it do its thing. Within 2 min my set up was leveled and calibrated to perfection. This package also has a surround sound setting called virtual cinema front that mimics full souround when all the speakers are placed in front of you. I assume for the people that do not have space behind thier sitting space for rear speakers. I did for the fun of it test this out and was surprised how good it really worked. Side note. After looking at several 5.1 soundbars first I noticed until you hit the $300+ range most of the cheaper sound bars didn't have 4k passthrough and you could have a 4k player and tv but only get 1080p for some. In the end for the price and quality I would highly recommend this home theater package to anyone.

Pleased all around
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the open box deal, but couldn't tell it from new. Only issue with set-up was connecting 10 speaker wires in such a limited space and awkward angle. Very tedious to insert wire ends into barely accessible holes and tighten wire nuts when wires are in the way, but mission accomplished. Loved the automatic sound setup and balancing. The display showed I had one speaker wired with wrong polarity. Fixed that and tested inputs from TV, DVD, and old VCR. I had to do some research on Vizio TV to get HDMI ARC to work, but I found the right TV settings and everything works great. TV and receiver turn on/off and volume change from TV remote. The TV display even names RXV385 and my Roku on the input list. The sound levels seem perfect from the auto setup. There are so many options that I still have to learn and try, but I am very happy with this unit for the price.

Great user friendly unit
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already have an rx-a730 receiver which is a great unit. My sister purchased this rx-v385 and I set it up for her. THIS IS A GREAT RECEIVER FOR THE PERSON WHO DOES NOT WANT ALL THE HIGH TECH FEATURES. It is very user friendly and sounds great. I even got one for myself to use in another room in my house. You can't go wrong with this receiver.

Perfect receiver
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this unit as a replacement for my previous sound system, which after a number of years and stopped working. I find this system to be more than adequate with many different options for sound programs. Very easy to set up and I use this along with my Bose Five channel speaker system surround sound.

Great receiver for the price!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yamaha! Was setting up a surround sound home theater and researched many receivers. Yamaha stood out because they use discrete power transistors and higher quality DA converters than other manufacturers. This translates to surprisingly life-like audio from a variety of sources. The included calibration microphone adjusts the sound from your speakers for optimum playback from whatever speakers you may have. Plus, the Bluetooth connectivity lets you play music from your smart phone in Dolby Pro Logic surround!

Great for the bedroom
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hooked it up to my original tv room speakers and it worked.Not enough power to work them like my older yamaha,but i meant to use them for my bedroom .Hooked it up in the bedroom to klipsch and bose speakers and it worked great. After connecting to a bluray player low and behold the onscreen menu showed up and i could set the unit up thru the ARC connection. I used the Yappy mic and setup was done. I like it ,Don't put anything on top,this unit gets HOT
