Great Sound but lousy connectivity

For whatever reason this seems to be one of the very few models that will not sync up with my DirecTV remote control. It's a definite disappointment but not enough reason to send it back

Intrusive and difficult to set up if you're not prepared

The equipment seems to work fine. My biggest gripe is the Required Music Cast software. I am sure I am in the minority but the last thing I want to do is have another public awareness of one of my habits and whatever other information Yamaha and others can glean about our lives. Those that use this service run an unforeseeable risk. Additionally I had Pandora on my Onkyo (deceased) and it did not require a third party software to be downloaded onto your phone. Intrusive at best plus annoying. Yamaha should require a work around for Pandora. It may be OK for those services you are willing to pay for but Pandora is free. Reading the material it seems that Yamaha forces you to download a software program that some may regret later. Must be another, better way to access Pandora! Next was the set up. When you are instructed to first turn on the equipment who knew you got one easy shot (if you knew what you were doing) to set up your internet connection. Miss that and you cannot go back. Just one time. Later on I did some exploring and did find another area in the set up to select the type of W-Fi I was using and it took about 5-6 tries to finally get it right. I recommend Yamaha give folks some warning ahead of time. Miss the boat? No second chances.

Full feature receiver with fine tuning capabilities

I'm entering the world of modern receivers from another high end brand of the early 2000s. I wasn't sure what my listening experience would be. But this new unit has really opened my eyes to the realm of possibilities for modern electronics. I'm particularly fond of the network abilities and audio streaming. Sound is clean and crisp. Menus are easy to navigate once the online manual is obtained which has more detail than the printed manual it comes with. I only wish the MusicCast app actually shows the full menu options.

I would not buy this product again.

Nothing works--no support. Owner's manual disk won't boot up on my mac. With HDMI connected as described in the guide that came with the amp., no image on the the tv. With internet cable plugged into the amp., no network radio.

The anti-vibration heat sinks are designed to suppress vibration from transistors and sound pressure. Independent power supplies for the DACs are designed to further eliminate noise on certain models. Down to every detail, these AV receivers are designed with full emphasis on the highest possible sound quality.

Discrete Amp Configuration
Enjoy quality sound. 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.

This app assists you with cable connections between the AV receiver and source devices. Additionally, it guides you through various settings such as speaker connections, TV and source device connections and power amplifier assignments. System illustrations and actual AV receiver images help you understand how to make the connections between devices. It is available in multiple languages and is designed for iOS and Android tablets.

SCENE for One-Touch Start
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.

Virtual Presence Speaker
Wide, high and dense sound. CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD Audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence Speaker delivers three-dimensional sound without the actual use of presence speakers.

Virtual CINEMA FRONT
Surround from the front. Even when it is impossible to install surround speakers behind the listening position, you will enjoy virtual 5-channel surround sound with all of the speakers placed in the front of the room. This is ideal for those who can't or prefer not to install speakers in the rear of the room.

Zone B
Sound in a second room. Zone B output capability allows the receiver to send 2-channel sound to a second zone, so the main zone now has 3-channel output. This means that users can enjoy stereo sound in a second room. The same source will play in both zones (cannot use two sources).
