Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent Receiver A+
This receiver was the best purchase for my surroundsound, the dual HDMI out is the greatest for controlling two TVs. I love the dual zone for music while hanging out in the backyard and especially when having family over for parties. After hooking it up to my Speakercraft ceiling speakers, it was a night and day difference in sound quality. I didn't know there was a Yamaha app for it, I downloaded it and WOW I could control everything in the receiver from my phone. A++

Great Sound and Simple Use
This receiver sounded better right out of the box than the Onkyo it substituted did after hours of setup. I am not an advanced user, but I can work my work around the settings. What I like the most is the ease of use of the on-screen interface and of the smartphone app. In terms of sound, it is very clean and crisp with plenty of power.

fantastic receiver
Best upscaling to 1080p I have ever used! The dsp options are numerous and having two subs along with my 7 other speakers has put my home entertainment into the next level. Just watched some of my Transformer, Dark Knight and Matrix through this Yamaha into an hidef projector onto 10' screen and the WoW factor is a 10. Also watched the new RUSH Time Machine dvd and concert level sound is easily achieved without making the sound muddy. Use the 'Enhancer' on any of the dsp settings to add a bit more 'depth' to the experience. I replaced a 15y/o Yamaha HTR5750 and this RXA850 still has that sweet transition from speaker to speaker during serious surround action. I haven't used the UHD upscaling yet, but from my experience with Yamaha, they will have nailed it and I will be wowed by this receiver once again!
