    It’s better than what I had for sure! Not sure why but I’m not hearing out of my rear speakers lately. Probably operator error. I’ll figure it out. But after 3 weeks it’s great!

    Just bought a 75" Samsung Q60A along with a Denon S450BT receiver. Never could get the two to work properly through the ARC connection. The Yamaha RX-V4A did the trick. I think because they are both eARC (Denon only support ARC). Also channel separation seems better.

    The first unit had some trouble connecting to Internet radio. Second one set up easily. Connects easily to my new TV and runs my 5.1 speakers setup. My second Yamaha [have two TV rooms]. I have been pleased with Yamaha quality.

    Love this thing. Running all klipsch reference speakers and the sound is amazing. Zero distortion at high volumes. Rocks the block and sounds perfect doing so. Bluetooth has decent distance... Don't forget the subwoofer cables.

    Needed to replace my old Denon receiver since it is no longer compatible to newer TVs. Decided on this one since I only have 5 Klipsch speakers plus subwoofer and didn't need a 7.1 channel receiver. Great little receiver at an affordable price. Surprisingly sounds better than the Denon.

    Absolutely love this Yamaha receiver! I got it as my entry level back into stereo systems. Of course there are better ones out there, but this gave me everything I needed to start building a great system!

    I don’t see any way to adjust bass and treble, so I might exchange this. But I love the music cast from my iPhone and integration with my TV.

    In Every Dream Home A Heartache

    With lots of cool features like wi-fi, music streaming, and bi-amp capability; it’s an interesting unit. However, as we all know, in every dream home a heartache; In every dream deal a dealbreaker! An unstable HDMI system in an AV unit is a dealbreaker for me. Many of you may know that recently, Yamaha has had issues with gaming video but my experience with HDMI in this model has not been good in general. Reading up on the subject everything from 2.1 cables to various settings have been suggested but so far I’ve had no luck. The geeks might have the answer or maybe Yamaha will eventually get back to me, but my view is that none of that should be necessary. Bugs should be worked out of a product before it hits the market, period. End of story

    This is an excellent mid-range receiver. It has that nice Yamaha sound. The version of YPAO it has did not do a good job for me so I had to do a manual calibration. But it has very nice features like HDMI 2.1. Just update the firmware to enable all the new features. Only has 4 HDMI inputs but that is usually enough and all are HDMI 2.1. And it is limited to 5.1 channel speakers. But for a small room it gets pretty loud with no distortion or lack of power. I like the new look too although some people don't.

    Needed to replace a pre smart receiver and this thing is wicked. Set-up was a breeze and haven't performed a room calibration yet but, soon.
