Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this to replace my Pioneer SA9800 stereo amplifier. I was looking for something with specs similar to my old amp. This receiver had good reviews. I am finding it a very difficult to learn how everything works as I do not have a surround system. It does produce fairly good sound out of my 2 Klipsch speakers. If I had to do it over, I would not buy this for my system.

Problems with normal programming very hard to understand

The product works very well without having any issues.

Best receiver I’ve ever purchased. Great value indeed.

Yamaha has a lot of work to do on the interface of this receiver and music cast. The app is not designed very well with functions left off and only selectable through the remote i.e. bluetooth pairing. The main unit has no functionality that can be deployed without using a tv. Unnecessarily awkward to operate. Receiver cuts out on wben in use for long periods saying check speaker w wire. Do better Yamaha. Save yourself from frustration and by a different brand.

As someone who has extensive experience with A/V equipment, I would not recommend this receiver. Every time I turn this receiver on, it powers on with the volume muted and the remote and receiver's volume knob and mute button unresponsive. I have to unplug the receiver from AC power to reset and it works fine after. Ridiculous. This alone is a reason for return which I will be doing. Also, the plastic front is a magnet for dust, fingerprints, and scratches.

Excellent new upgrades/updates to a great platform.

Set up was awful, right after downloading firmware update I could not keep the set up inputs ! Thought I was doing it wrong and paid for a geeksquad set-up and even they failed ! Returned for refund ! Will not consider buying again !

Look like this item was used. The box was open and some of the parts were missing. My wife wanted me to return it!!

I love Yamaha but this unit had source switching problems so I returned after three days.

Many options for use, however difficult to operate, poor instructions

Doesn't perform like I expected probably wasn't setup properly or not explained on how to operate

Many issues. Firmware did not fix it. I bought something else. I need to add the sound quality is fine for stereo, but not much else. Poor separation, I run sound for bands, I could not get this to sound the way I wanted. I have many Yamaha components, and on this one they failed me.

still getting used to it. A bit more complicated than i thought. May post later.

Does not adequately switch and HOLD between inputs

Haven't been able to get it to work the way I want inspite os Geek Squad install and a follw up.Geek Squad home visit (Zone 2).

Good receiver buy volume is not so great.I put it on -32 for good sound which is half way up.

The Geek Squad was very difficult, disappointing to work with. They didn't complete the work that I had paid for. I'll NEVER,, use them again!!!!!!! :(

Receiver stopped working after a month of owning it. No power at all, not even the red standby light. Only used it a handful of times as I was still in the process of building my home theater. Took it back to Best Buy and they said the product is not within Best Buy’s warranty date. Unbelievable. Now have to wait for Yamaha Service Center to have a look at it as they are apparently 6 weeks on back order. Not the greatest start into home theater unfortunately, won’t be buying Yamaha again…

Works when Google home is misleading. Sure, I can apparently control with my voice(why though?), but it does not behave as a Google home device, and I cannot sync with my Google home speakers throughout the house. Musicast is some proprietary garbage. Will be returning
