very good receiver

very impressed with the sound using Bluetooth or blueray. Unhappy that I am unable to use both bi-amping and zone 2, it's either one or the other. There should have been some info that you could not do both. All in all very happy. It replaces a Pioneer VSX950 that I thought was broken, turns out the cats had pulled speaker wire out. Wifes not too happy, I'm ecstatic.

Best Receiver I have owned

This is a very elegant looking receiver and packed full of functionality but with a clean design. I am pleased with the receivers ability to perform and the sound is phenomenal! I have had an occurrence where the receiver lost the connection to our WiFi and it was a little difficult to determine that this was the case.

Very Happy With my Yamaha

I was dedicated to Pioneer for my AV / Home Theatre needs. However after my Pioneer Elite VSX 60 died from a UE22 Error. This was clearly related to a Texas Instruments bad chip that Pioneer knows about but will not stand behind. I went on a search for not only a new AV receiver but a new company to put my faith into! After a very long search through AVR Forums, talking to the Tech that repairs AV receivers and company information I decided on Yamaha! Next was which Yamaha AV receiver was for me...I chose the RX-A750 for my bedroom surround setup. I have been very happy with every aspect of the RX-A750. It fit my price point and features needed. I highly recommend you to take a look at Yamaha and the RX-A750! After my hard work was complete my enjoyment is to listen to it...Enjoy! Ed

Great perfomance, user-friendly

great performance, user friendly. Not knowing what to expect, we hired a professional to install it and set it up. He then walked us through the operation and checked everything out for us.

Very nice with many features

Love this receiver. I replaced my older Yamaha with this one because my older one did not have HDMI connections. The sound is excellent and it has a ton of features. It also has (2) optical connections, so I was able to connect my (2) 300CD changers to it. It has an HDMI ARC connection that allows sound from the TV to come back to the receiver, which is a must if you have a smart TV and want Youtube, Netflix, etc. to play in surround sound. At first setup I lost a bunch of features my old receiver had (watching TV using the TV sound, listening to Youtube in surround, etc.) , but I was able to get them all back by customizing the setup. There are only (2) things that are a slight negative: I did not like the YPAO function. It was good for determining speaker distances, but it set all my speakers to large and the subwoofer to 40hz. It also gave me different errors. I used it to set the distance, then customized the speaker settings and it sounds great. The other thing is watching TV while listening to Music. Not a big deal but you have to go to the HDMI settings and change the sound input to whatever device you want to listen to and then change back to HDMI when done. One last item I love is that you can listen to stereo in 7.1Channels instead of 2 speakers. I use this all the time and I have been told that Yamaha is the only company that can do this. Be prepared to spend a lot of time learning all of the setup options and features. Will need to read the manual thoroughly.

Nice product

Purchased the Rx 479 returned due to shuffling through hoops to go from satelite & dvd... Etc. For a couple hundred more thought id take the advice of the sales guy and move into the rxa750 aventage! Its pretty good as far as sound- the speaker hooks are built for little fingers- the display on the front should be lower on the front panel . My wife doesnt think the 4k pass through is near as nice the RX479. Did a firmware upgrade wireless - and it actually worked! No hassles just hook up to wireless for 15 minutes- turned power off and back on- messaged me - followed The instructions no hassle no problem. Although after 600 and change why should This thing need an upgrade??. The bluetooth feature is really nice- and it works great! My iphone plays very clear ! Also i should add - purchased a samsung 4k 55 curved tv and Netflix sound was skipping and popping- soon as i upgraded to the Yamaha 479 and now to the 750 - both have 2.2 with 4k upgrading ------ no more Netflix issue. Not thrilled about the price - in fact if i was to do it all over id get something like the RX-v579 7.2. All in all im happy with yamaha products. Make the remote buttons for a man- larger lettering for 40 plus eyes.! YPAO is really a great plug n play feature- was very easy and works great! Plug the microphone thing in - place it in the room--- few beeps and tweets -- done! Tested it immediately with a blue ray movie and some tv shows . Set up was perfect! I do recomend yamaha- only spend what you can afford the sound quality doesnt really fluctuate with cost- they just add features IMO only!

A very good (but with some issues) A/V receiver

Overall good quality receiver. I do have to say the sound quality is outstanding. I went from a Onkyo to the Yamaha and there is clear difference. The 4K upscaling is noticable but not a major improvement. The biggest issue I had was using HDMI ARC. Between my Samsung TV and the Yamaha receiver, it would consistently change the input to Av4 and lose sound. Finally had to turn it off and use an optical cable. I was also disappointed wit the remote, compared to the Onkyo this was a major let down. Far less friendly and much harder to use as you single remote for all media devices.

Great sound once you understnd the EQ

Great sound, many nice music enhancement settings. Beware, learn how to use the built in EQ to get a better music audio for your music concerts and CD's. The preset options and settings are more towards movies as the Mid range is set way too high for music. Adjust your EQ like the old V-shape analogs and notice huge improvement for your sound. Overall very nice sound and easy to set up. Would recommend.

Amazing receiver!

I absolutely love this receiver. The sound is incredible. I love the wifi connectivity and streaming music via Pandora or from my iPhone with Airplay. I have a second outside zone on my lanai and the two zone feature is fantastic. Love also being able to have independent inputs for the main zone and the second zone. Lastly, the iOS app is fantastic. I use it more than the remote. It is very powerful and user-friendly. Great job Yamaha! I highly recommend this receiver.

Great receiver. I also like the ease of setup and calibrating the speakers. I do wish the user interface was a little better. I do wish it came with a paper manual, but i'm getting used to using the pdf version.

Just Purchased

I updated my previous Yamaha Receiver (RX-V740) with the RX-A750. The technology improvement is vast. This unit oozes quality, versatility and connectivity. It works with my network and all the Apple devices flawlessly. I can't comment on video, not without a 4K picture, but the sound quality is as good as I think I can perceive. I elected to not worry about Atmos and go with the less expensive 750 but the options packed into this unit still gives great value and return for your money. I also liked the 4 year warranty. The AV app works great also, so the remote is replaced with a device.

A good AV Receiver

This is a replacement for another receiver in service for about 10 years. After about a month, I am very pleased with this Yamaha RX-A750. Initial setup was very easy except for having to go to another room to consult the Emanuel. (I never would have been easily able to see it on my phone and I just prefer concise explanations) I recommend that when you have it setup the way you want, use the memory guard to prevent accidental changing of settings. The second setup was more difficult, my own fault. I will try to redo a review after additional time with the A750.

Best sound system for the price

Set up in my home theater room. Using only for 5.1. Great sound. If you have a bigger room, you can make it 7.1. Best value for your money.

Basic receiver

This receiver was the easiest to setup of all the Yamaha receivers I have owned. The YPAO in particular has been improved over the previous versions. But, the output power seems diminished compared to the DSP-A3080 that this receiver replaced. The single use remote is refreshingly simple compared to the previous remotes that were very difficult to setup and use for multiple devices, but lacks versatility. And the manual is only electronic in format, making it difficult to use without a tablet or laptop nearby. One confusion that remains about decoding - Yamaha does not tell you whether you need to set the decoder if all decoding is done in the receiver, or whether the receiver automatically detects and performs the proper decoding.

Best 7.1 receiver for the cost

I have 3 Yamaha receivers and they all have good sound and were easy to set up. Two "other" brand receivers have died between the last two Yamaha's, so now I stick with a proven brand.

Best 7.1 receiver for the cost

By RabidRobert

I have 3 Yamaha receivers and they all have good sound and were easy to set up. Two "other" brand receivers have died between the last two Yamaha's, so now I stick with a proven brand.

7.2-channel AVENTAGE network AV receiver is designed to provide high quality sound. With the addition of HDMI 2.0a, experience movies in stunning 4K Ultra HD with HDMI video upscaling, HDCP 2.2 and high dynamic range (HDR) support. Enjoy high-resolution audio playback and access to online music services with built-in Wi-Fi. Conveniently connect a smartphone or tablet with Bluetooth for quick access to your favorite music. Harness the flexibility of Party Mode and listen to music in different areas of your home with the convenient Yamaha AV Controller App.

AVENTAGE AV Receivers: Designed to Deliver the Highest Levels of Audio Performance
The AVENTAGE line of high-performance AV receivers is based on the audio design concept of providing a massive, full-bodied sound for movie sound effects and the accurate reproduction of music sources. By expertly harmonizing traditional and advanced technologies, every factor that affects sound quality, from materials and parts to construction, layout, vibration damping (unique foot) and "fine-tuning" the sound, is handled with no other thought than to achieve the best possible audio quality. As a result, every AVENTAGE model has the ability to reproduce the most subtle details of high-definition sound, so that listeners can enjoy a truly high-class sound studio experience at home.

Anti-Resonance Technology Wedge Helps to Ensure that Vibrations Do Not Affect Sound Quality
The Anti-Resonance Technology Wedge is a fifth foot in the center of the unit. It dampens vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers.

Aluminum Front Panel Offers Visual and Aural Benefits
All of the AVENTAGE components feature the same sleek, clean design, with an elegant aluminum front panel and silky touch volume/selector knobs. The aluminum front panel is used to effectively shield sensitive circuitry from external noise and electronic radiation generated by dimmer switches, fluorescent lighting, video monitors and so on. This ensures optimum sonic performance in the widest range of installation environments.

Bluetooth Compatible for Wireless Music Streaming
The RX-A1050 is equipped with Bluetooth functionality to let you easily enjoy wireless music playback from smartphones and other devices. The Compressed Music Enhancer from Yamaha is now optimized for Bluetooth audio transmissions to ensure that your music will have vivid, lively sound quality during wireless playback.

Full Support of HDMI 2.0a Spec: 4K Ultra HD Video Upconversion, HDCP 2.2 and High Dynamic Range (HDR)
This unit supports the latest HDMI standards thanks to the transmission of 4K video at 60 frames per second (pass-through and video upscaling). Fully enjoy the high definition video quality of 4K without degradation along with HDCP 2.2 that fully complies with the latest copyright protection, a standard for 4K video transmission. It also supports HDR video which provides enhanced picture quality by simultaneously enabling greater detail for both the dark and bright parts of an image. A future firmware update will be required to enable HDR.

HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel
The RX-A750 supports 3D video signals. Additionally, the Audio Return Channel function enables audio to be sent and received via the same HDMI cable, so you can hear the sound from the TV via a single HDMI cable.

HDMI CEC for Easy Operation
Another benefit of HDMI is the availability of CEC functionality. When the unit is connected to a CEC compatible TV, the receiver will turn on and off together with the TV and you can use the TV remote to control the volume. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components. For example, you can use the receiver's remote control to command source players with functions like skip, play and pause. All connected devices must be HDMI CEC compatible. Some CEC compatible TVs / players may not work.

Network Functions
This AV receiver provides a variety of network functions that enable you to access more sources and also enhance operation. You can connect the AV receiver to a Mac or PC with WebBrowser Control and have two way control of Internet radio, Pandora, Rhapsody, Spotify or SiriusxM Internet Radio. The AV Controller App (from iTunes or Google Play) lets you control various functions from your iPod, iPhone, iPad or Android phones / tablets.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Wireless Direct
Built-in Wi-Fi allows for a wireless connection with your wireless router, greatly simplifying system connections for enjoying networked audio (PC / NAS) and music streaming services. If a Wi-Fi router is not available, the unique Wireless Direct feature not only allows you to stream music directly from your smartphone or tablet via the AV Controller App, AirPlay etc., but also allows for control of the AV receiver as well.

AirPlay Allows Streaming Music to AV receivers
This AV receiver supports AirPlay, which means they can accept wireless music streaming from iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, as well as from iTunes on a Mac or PC. This makes it easy to enjoy music from your mobile devices or computer at your home theater system. You can view metadata such as song title, artist name as well as album art inside the receiver's on-screen display.

Stream Millions of Songs with Spotify Connect
With the Spotify app on your smartphone, you have instant access to millions of songs. Now you can stream those songs to your networked Yamaha AV receiver by using Spotify Connect. Just hit play to start streaming music. When you listen to Spotify outside on your smartphone or tablet and come inside, the song immediately streams to your Yamaha AV receiver allowing no interruption to your music playback. You can also personalize playlists and receive phone calls while listening to music on Spotify.

AV Controller App for Easy, Convenient Operation
This AV receiver lets you use the Yamaha AV Controller App that is downloadable from iTunes, Google Play or the Amazon Appstore to control the power, volume, input selections, DSP modes and much, much more from an iPhone or Android device. You can also use as many as 23 different languages and customize the interface by hiding unused icons and renaming functions. A tablet version is also available.

DSP Parameter Adjustment for Easy and Detailed Setting
This AV receiver is equipped with a variety of sound programs that utilize original DSP technologies from Yamaha. These sound programs allow you to easily create sound fields like actual movie theaters or concert halls in your room to enjoy natural stereoscopic sound fields. It is now possible to use the AV Controller App to adjust the DSP parameters in a basic or advanced mode to match the mood of your favorite movie or music album.

Extensive Audio Codec and Format Support
This AV receiver is compatible with many audio formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. It is also compatible with high-resolution audio codecs such as DSD / AIFF / FLAC / WAV / Apple Lossless. You will enjoy the excellent sound quality of these various high-resolution audio codecs from the USB input on the front panel or from network connected devices.

USB Digital Connection for iPod and iPhone on the Front Panel
A USB port on the front panel allows convenient connection of an iPod and iPhone, which also charges the iOS device when connected. Because the digital signal from the iPod and iPhone is transmitted directly to the AV receiver, there is no signal-loss or interference. You get to enjoy the best possible sound quality. In addition, you can use the receiver's remote control unit to operate the iPod and iPhone for basic playback control.

Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. The Compressed Music Enhancer from Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should.

Gapless Playback Compatibility Allows Play without Interruption
Many live and classical albums have no gaps in the music. Gapless playback ensures that there are no pauses between audio files. This provides playback with no interruptions, the way it was meant to be heard.

YPAO - R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimization
YPAO - Reflected Sound Control analyses room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds.

Extra Bass Provides Rich Bass Reproduction, Even with Small Speakers
This exclusive low-range enhancement technology delivers richer bass than you would expect from the speaker size while maintaining good localization and sound balance even with compact front speakers. When a subwoofer is used, it improves the volume of the entire low range of the speaker system, not only the front speakers, but also enhancing the bass from the subwoofer. You'll enjoy video and music with sound that has exceptional power and presence.

ECO Mode Lowers Power Consumption by 20%
When ECO mode is turned on it can reduce power consumption by about 20 percent. Compared to power consumption when ECO mode is off (Yamaha measurement).
