Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Plenty of bang for the $$
I have had great luck with this receiver. Great product for a knock out price.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Should have looked at more!
Easy to connect everything especially using the HDMI outputs. Very good sound with 7 speakers (using Bose for all but the 2 rear which I installed Niles in wall flush mount. Biggest disappointment is not being able to use my Sony universal remote. The Yamaha won't turn off with anything other than its own remote, which by the way, is very weak. Overall, satisfied but there are better units out there for the same price.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bits and pieces

I agree with others about this remote. It is not... comfortable. And the issue that "Power" ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Yamaha is a good bet
I bought Yamaha products many years ago and was very pleased with quality and performance. I think that holds true this time too.

Had some shipping issues to Alaska and the unit appeared to have taken some "hits" as there is a small (barely noticeable) crease in the bezel where some ape dropped it. The unit functions flawlessly so it is pretty tough.

The sound quality is excellent. I only have it hooked up as a 3.1 system so far since I hate running wires across the floor and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice reciever, but complex
Very nice receiver, but the operation of it requires almost a degree in engineering (which I have, but still had to study the manual - which of course engineers don't like to do). The sound is great and it has more features than you can imagine once you figure them out.
