Video processing not very good ; Media streaming rudimentary at best

Until Yamaha unveils their Z11 receiver -- which should be any day now -- the RX-V3800 is the company's top-of-the-line receiver. It ticks all the boxes for features -- some more successfully than others -- and should provide most home cinema set-ups...

Yamaha’s RX-V3800 is a handsome unit, with a fully loaded features set. True, we felt the setup and menus could be more intuitively designed. Sonically, the receiver’s strengths make it better suited for movie than for music playback.

Four HDMI Inputs, Onboard Decoding of Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, & DTS-HD Master Audio, Clean and Dynamic sound from all channels

Video section only upconverts analog signals, YPAO setup set monitor speakers to "Large" when they should be set to "Small", User manual poorly written

Excellent audio performance ; HDMI 1.3 functionality ; A host of extra connectivity Features ; Negative ; Would be nice to add a digital crossover for bi-amplification feature ; POWER: 7 x 140W @ 8 ohms, 20-20,000Hz, 0.04% THD ; INPUTS: 3 x component...

Would be nice to add a digital crossover for bi-amplification feature ; POWER: 7 x 140W @ 8 ohms, 20-20,000Hz, 0.04% THD ; INPUTS: 3 x component video, 6 x S-Video, 6 x composite video, 9 x analogue stereo, 1 x phono, 5 x 7.1 analogue, 5 x optical...

This receiver is awesome, movie soundtracks (including all HD codecs) are delivered with a real weighty feel. Connectivity is pretty comprehensive with 4 hdmi inputs and one out, it doesn't run very hot at all either. Music is reproduced very nicely...

none really, other than it not being available in black, which would have matched my setup better!!

Excellent sound quality and picture quality.

Network functionality is very limited. Would of been nice to stream video content via the network port. It is not easy to traverse a large collection of music files either. Moving through the list is extremely slow.

EVERYTHING, just wow

It takes a bit to process the sound between my Kuro and this ; Price, but you get what you pay for

I have had this in a 5.1 setup for a few weeks now. I bought it when it was five hundo off the listed price here. I will say that it trounces my older RX-V3300 in terms of sound and connections. But like my title says, if you are even considering this...

Trying to explain to my girl why this was a need rather than a want
