Yamaha RX-A1000 Aventage Receiver Preview

 

Yamaha has dropped their RX-V designation for a new line of AV receiver products it is dubbing its Aventage audiophile line. There are five products, and we take a close look at the new RX-A1000.

Great Receiver

 

Enjoy this receiver so much, I purchased one for my brother's home theater and also my father's den.

This receiver makes audio setup a breeze. Just connect the mic and the receiver goes through the audio configuration to tune according to your theater room's individual acoustic signature. Plenty of inputs/outputs available, and fairly impressive audio...

Not really a con, but I have a purely analogue system for my phonographs, so I can't speak to the Phono line in amp, but I have no reason to believe it would be less than what you would expect from a digital receiver handling analogue inputs

dissapointed

 

i am sending back for a replacement. i really wish a refund could be made at this point because even if i get a working unit next time i will be unsure of the quality and be anticipating failure.

good price and fast shipping as always with newegg

hooked unit up on screen menu will not go off no audio or video output. called yamaha support they advised a factory reset. they helped me with this procedure and no result came of it. yamaha tech advised sending back to newegg for replacement item....

Great Unit

 

Many reviewers comment on the CD manual being hard to deal with. I have a printer that prints duplex, and I printed out the hole thing. Then I put it in a three ring binder. Makes learning and using the unit to it's full potential a lot easier. I can...

Wanted to upgrade my receiver for my home theater and did a fair bit of investigation. This unit is built well and has all the rear hookups I needed. Multiple HDMI and audio connections and control are really nice to have. I hate cable clutter and I...

I'm not sold on the music and movie sound profiles it has. Most of the "Halls" and rooms just sound like echo chambers. My old Sony units had better enhanced sound. This may improve if I tweek them a little, Just haven't gotten to that yet

Awesome receiver!

 

After confirming the receivers abilities on the Yamaha website and realizing mine didn't seem to have some of them, I placed a call to Yamaha tech support. Very helpful, very nice and I was up and running with the latest updates in just a few minutes.

This receiver is amazing! I have been looking for a new receiver for quite some time to replace a ten year old Yamaha that didn't have nearly the features or the power. This unit is BIG and has power to spare. My Polk speakers sound even better than...

Right out of the box, the receiver needed a firmware update. Was not able to access or even see items like Pandora. Also having some difficulties with hooking up my subwoofer. It just isn't as loud or as crisp as it was with my old receiver. Going to...

Amazing

 

Exceeded all expectations. I am a quality engineer and this is an exceptional product. My hat is off to Yamaha and Newegg for the value and quality. What a punch this unit has. Way cool! I bought it for the Bi amp capability and I got so many more...

This unit does more with quality than I would have expected. I am amazed and pleased with the results and at a price I would have paid more for. This is so much more than a good amp and radio. It keeps surprising me with all the features and control....

Really heavy. Not a problem but there is nothing else negitive I have found so far

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great receiver, but; look out for defective product!

 

Really like how the receiver updates itself via an internet connection.

Great sound and video output. Had an older Yamaha receiver that did not have HDMI inputs. Really like how the new receiver switches the video and audio automatically to the active device

The layout of the owner's PDF file is not the greatest. Also beware before you connect all your speakers and devices to the reciever, plug it in with nothing else plugged in and turn the volume up to MAX. Wait for 10-15 minutes. If it does not shut off...

Quite happy with this

 

If there was a smaller price difference, I would have upgraded to the RXA3000, but I didn't see the benefit for $800.

All inputs can be converted to whatever type of output you've got, I'm using ; Blu-ray, Tivo, DVD, Win7 comp, AppleTV and Wii all going in, with room to expand. Out is just my HDMI TV. Picture quality is great, sound is great ; I have a 10yr old Polk...

1 When I choose my Tivo input, everything comes up as expected, and I sit down on the couch (without the rcvr remote, ironically) and for some reason, the audio input (not video) switches to Audio 1. Then I have to get up and switch it back to Tivo....

Great except for fm tuner...

 

Newegg return policy is awsome and had no problems with rma return. Everything else about this reciever lives up to yamaha's hipe. This would be a five if the tuner worked right out of the box and I suspect the one I returned would've worked with the...

Works as advertised. Haven't delved into network to much but my limited experience it pulled music off my windows 7 computer no problem. Setup is easy and the more advanced setup (customizing functions) work good on the onscreen display. Mic included...

Had problems with FM tuner and talked to yamaha customer service. They advised to return. Got a new one and problem repeated. Turned out looking on forums and the second yamaha call there was an update that would fix the problem. It did although for...
