Yamaha RX-V765 review

Yamaha's RX-V765 is the model above the RX-V565. It's supremely talented but falls just short of getting the full five-star star rating

Surround processing ; immersive sound ; even tonal balance

Input assignment issues ; lacks the dynamic brilliance of the best at the price

A very talented amp that’s just lacks some sonic polish

Yamaha RX-V765 7.2 Home Theater Receiver First Look

While you can get into an entry level receiver these days for under $300, there are some serious advantages to stepping it up a notch. If you want advanced functionality like video upconversion, higher quality amplifiers and advanced connectivity...

Video upconversion to 1080p, binding posts for all speaker connections, a more powerful amplifier system, high definition HDMI audio support and a powerful Zone 2 system make the Yamaha RX-V765 a very compelling upgrade for your home theater. We've...

Yamaha RX-V765 7.2 Home Theater Receiver Preview

Yamaha's RX-V765, with its price of just $649 makes it one of the best ways to get into a powerful HDMI-upconverting AV receiver. The receiver has four HDMI inputs, each which captures HD audio.

Yamaha RX-V765 Home Theater Receiver Reviewed

The RX-V765 features Yamaha's "signature lively sound that is quite enjoyable and mates well with a lot of today's modern music and movies." The receiver has only 95 watts but "sounds far more powerful than it actually is." That leaves this model "one...

The upgraded display screen and scene controls make day-to-day usage far easier and more enjoyable. •The addition of a front-mounted aux jack is welcome for those with iPods or portable music devices. When coupled with Yamaha's Compressed Music...

While four HDMI inputs are pretty much standard these days, I can't help but think a fifth or even a sixth would be beneficial, given the RX-V765's focus on current HD technologies ; I don't like how Yamaha has packed so many goodies into the RX-V765...

It's amazing to think that, over a year ago, a receiver packing as much performance as the RX-V765 would've cost you near two grand, if not more. Here we are approaching the fall of 2009, and that same receiver is now $650. That, my friends, is...

Yamaha RXV1065 AV Receiver

Very easy setup. Up and running in less than 20 mins. Excellent sound. Tested blu-ray, dvd, cd, mp3 and ipod through it and all sound great. Remote control operates TV as well so that was 1 less controller on the coffee table. Good design, clear...

None found so far. Oh, the ipod docking kit is seperate and costly but just use a 3.5mm jack lead instead.

Yamaha RXV765

This amplifier is powerful beast. Lots of inputs at the back for your other components. Bood value for money.

The slick and big volume control knob design is a bit overdone and not so easy to quick turn. Using the remote control to adjust the volume quickly is far easier.
