Nuanced, open, movie performance; worthwhile DSP modes; neat design; decent network audio functionality

A little bass-shy in stereo mode; struggles at high listening levels; Wi-Fi requires a dongle

The sound is very good for home theater and has acceptable power for music but really only enough power for some of my music in stereo mode, IMHO. Tons of features; way more than I could figure out and use regularly. YPAO worked great for my room but...

Power a bit lacking. Power supply transformer started buzzing pretty loud at about 3 years. There are a lot of failures in all stereo brands now (not just Onkyo!) but buzzing doesn't seem like a common failure mode for Yamaha so I only knocked it down...

2 Zone, Parametric EQ, Network abilitys

No Spotify app yet

8 HDMI's in 2 Out Many other connection options including mixing and matching inputs/outputs Zone's didn't appeal at first but I've grown to like it Infinitely configurable...almost too much but really can there ever be too many options Very well...

Not really the Power House Sound System I had anticipate but more than adequate for my Co-op situation.

I bought this receiver on sale from Newegg, the deal was too good to pass up. I have been researching receivers for 3 years now and went from Onkyo (too many problems) to Denon (very good but 2013 quality went down), then finally to Yamaha's. the only...

No video airplay.

Sleek, clean, classic Yamaha look. Enhances normal TV sound to clear distinct words so you are not having to crank the audio to understand what people are saying. Movies (Blu-rays) are even better. The DTS-HD and TrueHD are as good or better than going...

I'm an audiophile and I have tried to find something not to like. Sorry, can't find anything so far.

Lots of features very crisp sound, I would definitely buy it again. I have hooked this to polk floor speakers and a klipsch woofer and I love it. This is my first not out of the box set up and it was a breeze. It has a very nice user interface.

I wish it had HD radio, the next model up has it but it costs a lot more.

It attempts to do what it's designed to do

No matter what I do I'm still getting quite a bit of static/crackling in the front left speaker only (Polk Monitor 70 - II). It doesn't matter which speaker/cable combination I use. I even bought one of Monster's power surge/clean power strips which...

Excellent sound quality. Easy to set up. Great features, especially after the firmware update that came out a few days ago, adding Pandora, Sirius/XM, etc. I have it in a large entertainment center and it is cool to the touch. The parametric EQ is...

My Onkyo NR605 HDMI board went out after 4 years so I needed an update. When I first set up the Yammy, it sounded really terrible and my family thought I had made a big blunder. You have to spend some time getting the right settings but it is well...
