    Very happy. What I appreciate about this Yamaha received is the neutral tone and the crisp clarity. Moderately priced but will add that extra oomph to your home theater with room to grow. Quality product indeed.

    Returned. I was running a 2 channel set up with plans to expand later. This receiver just didn't sound good with only 2 channels hooked up. I told the receiver which speakers were connected, but dialog was still not as clear as I wanted. Tried a Sonos Amp and had no problems with clarity using same speakers and same TV. Audio may be fine as a 5.1 system, just not great for a 2.0 system. Also had trouble running 4k. When my roku was connected to TV directly, no problems. When running to this receiver, I was occasionally getting blank screens. Or if I was getting a picture of was slightly washed out. Tried 3 different hdmi cables. Again, no problems when direct connection to TV, only when using the receiver as a switch.

    It's alright. My 3rd receiver, lasted a year and now I don't get video. It's the worst out of the Sony and Onkyo I have of the same price range. I love how it looks but audio wise it's the worst of the big brands I've tried. I'm going to claim a warranty

    I was really disappointed in this receiver. First, it does look cool and that’s about it for good qualities. Getting past the obviousness that this still isn’t 120hz capable and probably won’t be, it is horrible. Even after updating, the receiver showed a black screen upon switching inputs. The only way to fix this was to turn the receiver off and back on again. Also, especially with my Xbox Series X, sometimes the screen would either just be green or the video would be centered and only take up about 1/5 of the screen. Again, turn it off “CLICK” and back on again “CLICK!!!!!” Every single time I turned this thing on it was issue after issue. Small annoyances could be overlooked, like the beyond annoying “CLICK” mentioned above when turning it on and trying to switch inputs (which were so much louder than any previous receiver I’ve ever had), but the video issues were too much to overcome so I returned the unit. It’s obvious Yamaha were in over their heads disingenuously shoehorning features into this thing in order to release it in time. It’s sad as I’ve always had great experiences with Yamaha products, from drums and hardware to audio products but this should not have been released in it’s current form.

    I have been using Yamaha for my AV Receivers for many decades. This one does not disappoint. Plenty of power and quality sound. A little complex to set up and adjust all the settings.

    Probably a good receiver, but I had to send it back for a refund, as when I started to install it in my system, I realized it didn't have all the connections I needed.
