Absolutely stellar sound with tons of features. The downside is the instruction manual isn't intuitive in all respects.

Finally. This solved my 4K pass through challenges from previous products. I owned a 4K30 unit from Sony that was not HDCP2.2 compliant, and this has been the bane of my experience as an early adopter of 4K two years ago. Those days are over. I am able to run 4K60 directly to my JVC projector including BT.2020 color and HDR. This product meets expectations and then some, although I have not yet tested all features I have spot checked most of them. It does run hot. I measured the top surface with a Fluke 289 meter and thermocouple over a couple hours' use and it reached 102F in an open-back cabinet, although it did not warn or shut down. I therefore have added a fan unit on top to draw air through the chassis, an AC infinity T8. This does the job, even on the lowest fan setting, keeping its average temp below 95F using an 85F threshold value. I have not seen any Bluetooth issues as was mentioned, running Amazon Music over my iPhone6s. I also tested the direct WiFi streaming on Amazon and it works. Firmware update was easy over direct Ethernet. It is nice that the preamps still provide signal boost. I have not yet tried the microphone calibration but I think this will be helpful. The test tone feature is nice to test surround and Atmos setup. I am running the 7.2.4 with front ext. amplification, with the surround back disabled, so there is some customization possible. Each speaker level can be adjusted up to +10dB. I am neutral on the AI feature so far as I like to customize, but it does appear to decode quickly. The only glitch I noticed so far was the setup menu blacked out a couple of times during playback but this does not appear during normal playback so it may be something in the software.

The 3080 met all my expectations - sound quality, configuration flexibility, and value. Separates vs 3080. I landed on Bryston amp for my mains and paired with the 3080. I found they work together nicely as combo for for 2 ch and 7.1 ch - audio, 7.1 movies or SACDs. I also use the multizone to send music outdoors and patio room. The remote control app over wifi works flawlessly for me. So very satisfied with my purchase. The Yamaha 3080 is a hidden gem. I did my my research.

This is my third in the Aventage line of home theater receivers. I have upgraded over the years for a better DAC and a new oprions. Each step has been a great reward and sound quality and features. I highly recommend Each step has been a great reward and sound quality and features. I highly recommend the RX-A3080!!

After many years of previous receivers failing on me due mechanical failure, of one or the other, it was time to find me a receiver that I would enjoy as home theater receiver along with enjoying music and listening to my vinyl collection. I shy away from Yamaha receivers for quite sometime, until a friend of mine own a Yamaha receiver set up. He had Yamaha DVD player then he later upgraded to Blue Ray, but didn't upgrade his receiver, it still sounded awesome. I waited a bit longer, until Yamaha came out with the Advantage line up and research everything about it and compared it with other receivers and Yamaha won me over with what their receivers has to offer. Once I hooked it up and ran the system through, I was just blown away about the 3D sound field it produces. Unlike the other receivers I own, they got too warm or too hot, (some had internal fans to cool, and they failed.) This receiver didn't warm too much even at high volume. Overall, best receiver I've own so far.

Home theater is great as long as you have 9.2 channels or less, and you can save money compared to the 11.2 flagship models of competitors. The YPAO calibration is nearly useless unfortunately, would highly recommend changing the speaker settings manually or modifying the settings after using YPAO auto calibration. The unit looks nice and the user interface is nice. Haven't spent enough time with it to comment on the performance with music. I do think the surround AI is nice, which is unique to Yamaha I believe. Would purchase again.

Sound is awesome! Using 7.2.1. Very happy with the receiver.Musicast is promising but I take off one star for the Alexa/Bluetooth integration.

This is the heart of my Home Theater and its performance is nothing short of spectacular. The Surround AI is fantastic, and it has tons of power to drive your speakers at reference volumes. Very detailed with music and very easy to set up and use. Highly recommended.

She far so good. Replaced Anthem 710 Receiver in my living room. Easy to configure and had to perform few tweaks to sound good.

I experienced a Yamaha RX-A3010, for 8 year, and was very happy with what it was capable of. Unfortunately I believe it overheated and stopped working. I researched the most popular AV Receivers available, and found the Yamaha RX-A3080 had everything I wanted (including the sound capability (11.2 speaker + watts, zone options), newest technologies (ATMOS sound, Bluetooth / WiFI). I also like the new setup menu that includes detailed explanations. My only concern is: AV Receivers heat up, which can cause circuitry failure. For the price of this receiver, Yamaha needs to incorporate a cooling fan system within the unit to help reduce the heat generated by the circuity .

The signal dropped randomly, I got no issue with my onkyo receiver before. I switched all the cable and the player it still happened randomly. After I used another input on my Sony TV, the dropping issues seemed solved but the sound is delayed when I skipped the chapter in the movies, which also happened randomly. Great price for such receiver and I hope new firmware will take care of the problems. Not sure it’s the compatibility issue or defect. Sound quality is good and detail but maybe too bright. Subwoofer calibration trim level was too high, I’m using SVS SB16 Ultra in a small room. I have to reduced -8db on the result to achieve comfortable level.

This is not my first time buying from Adorama and this time is even better. The RX-A3080 was not on sale but they allowed me to use the sale code from the 2080 for the buy. The free delivery was quick and as promised. The Yahama receiver sounds great and much stronger than my old Denon. Overall, the service is good and trust worthy.

Fantastic receiver. This Yamaha replaced Onkyo TX SR-805. The Onkyo still worked, but was limited with only 3 HDMI outputs. This Yamaha is pretty loaded, and at first, setup seems a bit overwhelming. Once the cables are in place, it’s pretty much plug and play.Once I got this receiver going, I noticed right away how great the sound was. The separation in the tracks and channels of music is really great. There are a ton of settings that you can adjust, and once you get settled, you should definitely download the Yamaha app. Within the app, you can use your android/IOS phone as a remote, and tweak the sounds even further(and quite easily!).So far the picture from my streamers, and blu-ray has been great as well. The sound from streaming, DVD-A’s and SACD’s has been unbelievable as well.Other thoughts: the remote is back-lit, but some buttons are still small and hard to read(day or night). I have not noticed the receiver running to hot(warm to touch). WIFI- connectivity good.

The original order was for a Yamaha 3070 which failed after 9 days. Being a close out item my only option was to order the new 3080 model. Adorama made the return easy and within a week I had the replacement. They sold me the new model at a great price and all my charges and credits were correct on my charge card. They took what could have been a disaster and made it into a positive experience. I love the new 3080.

I have been a happy Yamaha receiver owner since 1976. This is now my fourth unit from Yamaha. The Yamaha RX-A 3080 is nothing short of an outstanding AV Receiver. It provides every type of connectivity most people would require. The newly designed remote is back-lit, weighty, and easy to use. The Yamaha AV Controller App (Remote App for Smart Phones) is also fantastic and I use it when listening to music or movies to quickly adjust settings. I use the receiver remote to adjust configuration settings. The sound is rich, full of bodied and provides plenty of power and detail you may have missed hearing previously. I have mine set up for 7.1.4 using an external Yamaha R-1000 2 channel receiver from the 80's (100 watts Per Channel RMS) for the rear presence channels. I am also using the Yamaha YST-315 sub woofer (10” speaker). The system shares the house when listening to movies. Here's a little advice to help you get set up quickly. Do a firm ware update before calibrating the new receiver with YPAO. Set you main speakers and surrounds “to flat” if they are adjustable. Make sure each speaker has a clear line of sight (no obstructions from plants, pillows, furniture, etc.). If your speakers are slanted toward the main seating area, also adjust the front of the sub to match your other speakers. Set your sub to “Music” or it's most flat position. Do not place your sub woofer parallel to the wall. Place it on a 45 degree angle. Now your ready to run YPAO. After reviewing your Level Settings, make sure all levels especially the sub woofer are approximately the same. If your other speaker levels are adjusted up or down by +/-1 DB, your sub woofer should also be within that same level range. It is +/- 10 DB, preposition your sub woofer and run YPAO again. I use Speaker Pattern 1 for music, (YPAO as is) and Speaker Pattern 2 for movies (all speakers set to small with 80 Hz crossover except front and center which are large). Mine sounds simply fantastic in Dolby Atmos and in DTS-X. You will get completely absorbed enjoying your movies and music. Enjoy!

I became a Yamaha fan after years of trial & error. Over my 30 years or so of Home Theater hobbying many a' surround AV receiver has graced my livingroom. Listen, from Sony, JVC (yes back in the 80's), RCA, Panasonic, Denon, etc.. you get the point, none delivered that 3D sound like Yamaha. None! Moreover, Yamaha delivers that 3D sound even in their entry level AVR's. Not to mention, "all" units can drive Ohm loads that will overheat other AV receivers ala' Onkyo for example. If you're an Onkyo owner you know what I mean. The Onkyo AV receivers get HOT! That shortens the life of the AVR. Entry level Yamaha receivers never get hot. They decode & deliver surround sound with realism without breaking a sweat or getting hot. Check this out? I know this Yamaha AVR boasts SABRE D.A.C.s, but, their lesser or cheaper models use Burr-Brown D.A.C.s for the digital to analog sound conversion. Burr-Brown D.A.C.s are 2nd to none & Yamaha uses them in even their entry level models. That's quality my friends. I cannot tell you enough at how superior Burr-Brown is to other D.A.C.s that other Manufacturers use. Yes, the D.A.C does make a huge difference in both 2,0 stereo and surround sound performance. So, Yamaha doesn't wimp out in any way in any of their AV receivers. After years of learning my lessons, I'll only buy Yamaha AVRs. When I throw in a Blu Ray or stream a Netflix film, I wanna hear & feel that "3D sound" I experienced at the Cinema. Yamaha is the only brand that has ever delivered that "make ya' duck" when a bullet whizzes by kind of surround sound. No doubt in my mind, if you want true "Dolby Surround" then Yamaha is the only receiver you should employ in your system. Well, that's my 2 cents. It's up to you now to pull the trigger and step into the "real world" of digital surround sound. ~ peace

I came from the 2070, due to a few more upgrades. Was waiting and waiting for this. I could not be more happy with my purchase. As well as the quality Yamaha continues to pump out. I actually tried a few other brands in between the wait, nothing compares. And the Yamaha remote app is the best on the market. Sound quality is worth every penny!
