Customer Review: A great reciever at the price paid.
I purchased this unit off of Amazon about year ago. The seller sold it as an open box buy. I paid 400.00 for it and when I received it, it turned out to be factory sealed from Yamaha (not refurbished). This was a pleasant surprise. I had an older high end Yamaha unit that would not fit in my glass entertainment cabinet. So this was a viable option. I have used Yamaha receivers for about 20 years and none of them have ever died. I also like Denon as well (have one of these). I love the no clutter look of the higher end Yamaha receivers such as the RX-V1600. Now you see other MFG following suit. The sound of this unit is excellent. It has enough surround modes to suit the user. I also have a 64-bit PC running into the receiver and the sound is great. I highly recommend this product for either the amateur or the experienced audio enthusiast. Don't go to the local BB and get a reciever for much more money but way less qaulity.
Customer Review: Nice receiver, a few complaints
I am happy with this receiver and my Home Theater sounds great coupled with my Axiom Epic Grandmaster Speaker setup. I paid $750 for this receiver through amazon in October 2006. Thought about going up to the $1500 price point but realized I didnt need the added functionality. A few complaints, 2 of them rather minor. 1. Volume readout text is too small. WOuld be nice to have larger text so I could actually see what level I use for different listening situations. As it is I cant actually read the number from where I sit. 2. The remote could really use some backlighting. This complaint shouldnt be lessoned by the fact that many remotes suffer this same design oversight. They are all poorer for not incorporating this idea. 3. When running my Xbox360 via component wires to this receiver and then via HDMI to my Samsung LNS4692D HDTV the picture is darkened. When I run the Xbox360 straight to my Samsung LNS4692D HDTV the picture is less dark (preferred). This makes a huge difference in games like Gears of War and Call of Duty 3 where the scenes are already dark. I decided to just leave the Xbox360 connected straight to the HDTV via component and run the digital audio to the receiver. This issue wouldnt allow me to run "just one cable" (the whole idea of HDMI) to my TV. Yamaha needs to look into this issue and figure out why going from component to HDMI darkens the picture.

Customer Review: Who is goofing?
There are no tech specs to be found except the weight of 4 pounds. I buy potatoes by the pound, not electronics. Without knowing anything about the TV I would not buy it and I guess that's why there is no customer rating. This is not the way to do business!

Customer Review: very pleased
First off the good, great sound, conections and set up was a snap, owners manual was a little daunting at first but after reading 2 or 3 times it all made sense, preset surround modes sound great, My Klipsch RF-7's came alive. big improvement over my old Yamaha HTR-5460 (big disapointment). Now the bad I hook it all up then I am looking for a blu-ray player button or DVD I find nothing so i press HDMI nothing, Now I am wondering if there is something wrong on a hunch I press BD and now it works (BD???) whatever it works then I try to hook up my new Marantz CD changer no CD hook up no CD button on reciever or remote, so again dig through manual, have to hook it up to an assignable digital input (optical) I have the cable and that is what I was going to use but why not a spicific input!!! Why not call the Blu-ray input Blu-ray or DVD, why some code!!! I have had suround sound since my $799.00 Hi-Fi VCR back in 1985. Been hooking this stuff up for 25 years, should not be this difficult.. More bad The Subwoofer does not turn on for music (Tuner, CD, Ipod) or TV/DVR only on Blu-ray. Also if I hook up DVR via HDMI thru Reciever I can only watch TV with reciever on. Most cable does not sound that great so the TV speaker is all I want, so it is all or nothing. So I just go from DVR to TV via HDMI and hooked the DVR to reciever with an optical cable but with it hooked up this way it seems to reduce volume All in all when I am watching a Blu-ray or a standard DVD it is fantastic, music from CD has depth and clarity I only remember from vinyl (processor in Marantz CD changer I suspect) like I said fantastic sound. Found mine on E-bay, turned out the guy was a local distributer, home theater installer operating out of a small wherehouse for $575.00

Customer Review: Necessary item, does the trick
I just got a new Pioneer car stereo and wanted satellite radio. This item is required, and my Best Buy installer put it in with no problems. The installation also requires the Sirius Connect tuner SC-C1. Together they work seamlessly and invisibly with my new head unit and provide me with great satellite sound (except when we're under trees).
Customer Review: Done Right
Quick shipping. Was the wrong Bus Interface, but that wasn't the vendors fault - it was Pioneers! After some extensive rewiring and notifying Pioneer of their mistake, and sending them pictures of the fix (they've now promised to fix the problem) it works splendidly.
