120Hz fail, even worse than other makers.

The physical design of the receiver is OK. That's about it as far as good points. The menu is pretty ugly for a modern receiver, and the description in the settings doesn't provide much information. There are also no dedicated buttons on the receiver or remote for each HDMI input, so you have to scroll through them, and if you have CEC enabled for your devices, sometimes just scrolling through will turn them on, which is a pain. That's it for the meh stuff. Now for the bad: the only reason I upgraded from my previous Sony receiver, was for 120Hz passthrough for my PS5 and Xbox Series X to my LG OLED TV. This feature was supposed to be released via a firmware update already, but anyone who's done some recent reading now knows that it's an issue with the Panasonic chipset in the unit causing issues. Denon and Marantz use the same chipset, but theirs will at least work properly with the PS5 to output 120Hz. None of them work properly with the Xbox Series X... but Denon and Marantz are shipping out adapters to fix the issue. Yahama has provided NOTHING for any connected 120Hz device and hasn't even updated their "we'll get back to you here" page where they admit that there's an issue. This is a huge failure, especially for those of us who only upgraded for this single feature.

I've been waiting to buy this receiver until all of the issues had been solved, and it seems like we're there now. I love Yamaha receivers, and this one has been worth every penny so far.

Worked great for 4 days. On the 5th day, it "popped" when I powered it on that that was all she wrote. Too bad as it's a nice receiver but Best Buy doesn't have any that I can replace it with. IF it weren't for this, I'd rate it 4 or 5 stars.
