Rated 5 out of 5

No regrets

I bought this receiver a couple years ago. It was included in a package deal with Yamaha speakers (HTIB) at Best Buy. The more I learn about this receiver and it's capabilities the more I like it. I have since upgraded to Klipsch speakers (reference theater pack) and the sound quality blows me away. I am pretty fussy when it comes to sound and picture quality but this AVR has not failed me. I really like the the YPAO calibration system as well. The only problem? I will soon be adding a PlayStation 5 to my system but this receiver does not support the newer technology (4k 120hz HDMI 2.1)...but I am hearing many of the new high-end receivers on the market are struggling with this as well so I think I'll hold on to this one a while longer before I upgrade.

Nice receiver with some issues.

I was enjoying my new receiver, when it started cutting in and out. Received a replacement, and the replacement does the same thing. Tried installing a firmware update, but that didn't fix the problem. With the "HDMI-control" function turned off, the problem goes away. Fortunately, the receiver performs well enough without this function turned on. Hope that Yamaha fixes this issue with a future firmware update.

This AV receiver completely supports with latest HDMI standards.

It also adheres to the HDCP 2.2 copyright protection standard for 4K video transmission. It also supports HDR (high dynamic range) Video including Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma which provides incredible contrast, smooth tone and rich, bright colors. Furthermore it supports the wider color gamut of BT.2020 pass-through. This AV receiver is also compatible with 3D, Audio Return Channel and CEC for easy operation.

Discrete Amp Configuration
High sound quality. This AV receiver was designed with a strong focus on achieving exceptionally high sound clarity. It employs a discrete amp configuration and a low-jitter PLL circuit, which contribute to its excellent audio performance.

AV Setup Guide App
Easier system setup. AV Setup Guide is an app that makes it much easier to perform receiver setup and also assists you with cable connections between the AV receiver and source devices. It guides you through various settings such as speaker connections, TV and source device connections and power amp assignment. System illustrations and actual AV receiver images help you understand how to make the connections between devices, for much quicker system setup. It is available in multiple languages. Designed for iOS and Android tablet.

SCENE Buttons
One-touch start. Pressing a SCENE button powers on the AV receiver and selects the input source and DSP mode. You can re-set the buttons for different sources by selecting a source and DSP mode, then pressing a SCENE button for more than three seconds.

YPAO Sound Optimization
Every room is different. YPAO analyzes the room acoustics and adjusts various audio parameters for optimum sound in just a few minutes. It's like having a professional installer calibrate your system.

CINEMA DSP
Experience different venues. Exclusive Yamaha CINEMA DSP technology supports playback of HD Audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.), providing natural and expansive sound imaging. CINEMA DSP transforms the dynamics of the listening environment with the acoustics of famous venues from all around the world.

Virtual CINEMA FRONT
Virtual surround sound. Even when it is impossible to install surround speakers behind the listening position, Virtual CINEMA DSP reproduces virtual 5-channel surround sound filled with realism, with only two front speakers. With Virtual CINEMA FRONT, you will enjoy virtual 5-channel surround sound with higher quality and resolution by installing surround speakers at the front. You get more flexibility to arrange your speakers inside the room, along with easy enjoyment of high quality surround sound.

Rich Bass Reproduction
Feel your lows. The Yamaha exclusive low-range enhancement technology delivers richer bass than you 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.

Better Sound Imaging
Crisp and focused. The Subwoofer Trim Control enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is "pushed" toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound.

ECO Mode
Go green. The new ECO mode by Yamaha reduces power consumption by about 20%. It can be set from the top of the OSD menu.

Selectable Standby
Sleep mode. Auto Power Standby lets you save energy by selecting to turn off the power after 20 minutes, 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours.
