    This replaced and older Yamaha receiver. So far, it’s a seamless transition. Easy setup, though the functionality is cumbersome. 4K pass through worked very well

    This has been the most frustrating piece of electronic equipment I have ever owned. Its primary problem is that it requires a hard reset via holding the power button down for 10 seconds EVERY SINGLE TIME I want to watch TV. When I turn it on via the remote, it does not send anything to the TV before doing this hard reset. In addition, it randomly turns itself off in the middle of a TV show, movie or game. If I could return it for a refund I would. This is the last piece of yamaha electronics I will ever buy.

    Best Buy had competitive pricing but especially better availability for this item. Receiver has all updated features for current A/V system such as HDCP and HDMI. Integrates well with MusicCast. Only wish it had second HDMI output for Zone 2.

    A decent receiver with ONE BIG CATCH. It has 7 hdmi 2.1 ports but they are currently the same ports that are borked from 2020. Yamaha did say they will do a motherboard swap for all of these free of charge the autumn but what they didn’t say is that it won’t be the full fat 48gbps band hdmi 2.1, it will be half of that (https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1629971809). That won’t work for Xbox series x or pc gaming.

    The sound is easily as good or better than anything out there in this price range and this level. Have tried several brands over quite a few years, but in the end I always end up back at Yamaha.

    I bought this in “open box - excellent” condition and the remote didn’t work which was a bummer. Yamaha took care of it and within a week I had it up and running and hooooooooo baby does it sound so sweet.

    Disappointed; very unreliable HDMI switching/video

    Like most folks, I really wanted to like this AVR--it had very positive reviews, and some industry "experts" praised it as being the best option in his price range. And while it produced amazing sound, the HDMI switching between video inputs was unbearably slow; often, it wouldn't even produce any video at all. It was frustrating to use my PS4, as the HDMI switching often just produced a blank screen. And the few times it was able to connect to the PS4 HDMI port, it would constantly ask me to reset the HDR parameters on the TV. I tested my older unit to make sure the TV isn't the issue (LG 90 series Nanocell), and the old Pioneer was quick and immediate with the HDMI switching. Ultimately, it became too frustrating and I took it back to BBY and picked up an Pioneer Elite--haven't looked back.
