    This avr works perfectly and the sound is very good when you stream music. The picture and sound is improved versus my old Denon receiver. The only negative is that the receiver doesn’t tell you when you’re receiving a Dolby surround broadcast.

    Great surround sound from all 5 speakers, plus subwoofer. Easily switches between cable and Roku. Install and setup by Willie G was perfect.

    Replaced 10 year old Sony receiver that stopped switching. So glad that I did. This Yamaha receiver is just perfect for my bedroom surround system. I have the higher end Yamaha AV receiver in my TV room and it's killer.

    Wonderful unit. Sound clarity is amazing and when watching good sci-fi movies (as is my case) you really feel like youre there. As a hi-fi nut, Im very particular with my audio quailty and Yamaha has always stepped up to the plate. Definitely recommend.

    Works ok.No problems.Someone told me if you get another antenna it should be a exact replacement.Look exactly like the old one.I hooked a dipole antenna that looked different and the sound quality decreased.On the ad it says its for yamaha recievers.it was a small wire antenna like the original one but it would make a t.

    Excellent receiver, puts out great sound. I like that there is an app that you can control receiver with, since I have mine installed in a closet out of sight. Easy to use.

    This is an awesome A/V receiver, I especially like how to set up the speaker settings with the microphone process. The system sounds great for TV and radio and the ability to listen to Sirius XM. and other internet radio stations. is also great!

    The receiver was a game changer for me. I had a Onkyo that was a really great unit but it was just not there power wise. This unit is all there except the ATMOS part. You will just love it!!!

    Needed to upgrade the old receiver to work with the new cable box and add a Fire cube to the system. Set up was easy, the only glitch I ran into was not Yamahas issue. I had to change the delay time on my Harmony remote as it wasn't switching to the correct input.

    Good receiver. Only running a 2.0 setup currently but I like all of the customization options as I add on to my system. The app to connect is a bit wonky but does eventually work after trying to connect a few times. A little disappointing you have to go to their website for the full manual but it seems all electronics are that way now.

    Easy setup, great sound, love the added benefit of streaming from either my Apple or Amazon Music accounts. Seamless performance in that regard, just puts a Bluetooth button on the included remote and away you go. Amplification for radio channels is very good, crisp, clean and clear. Almost too loud even at -25db’s…impressive!
