I love this receiver! It was a lot less expensive than the next 5.1 option and I couldn't imagine being much happier with a unit that cost $100 more. Except for built-in bluetooth (external add-ons are available) and maybe a second optical port, there's really nothing more I could want in a surround receiver. The USB input is great, I don't even have to hook up a phone or Mp3 player, I just bought a low-profile 32GB stick and it lives in the unit with my whole collection on it that I can access at any time. There is even on-screen info on the TV through HDMI and also on the receiver display screen for music and settings. The plethora of different presets and decoders is great, and I love that I have full control of all tone and individual speaker levels through the menus. Puts out plenty of power and sounds crystal clear. Could not be happier with performance. The easy setup mic is interesting, but I found that I would rather set the levels myself as it did some interesting things when I ran it. Two minor cons, but neither big enough to dent the 5 star rating I'm giving it. One- the unit is large. Like, standard stereo receiver large. I thought it would be smaller for some reason (cost?), but it is not any larger than your average receiver unit. Two- the receiver can be very picky about how it is wired in the back. I kept getting a "CHECK SP WIRES" message and an auto shutdown at around -20db for the first few days until I pulled out the unit and re-stripped and reinserted all the wiring VERY carefully. Now it works like a champ and will crank a lot louder than I need it to! Found a lot of online frustration with this issue and exactly what the cause is (speaker ohms, external wiring, bad speakers, etc.) and I am pretty confident this is where anyone having a problem should focus. Once all was up and running, I have nothing negative to say whatsoever. Would buy it all over again and will likely get another Yamaha unit if I ever have need to.

A good basic receiver for a bedroom or small living room.
Initial impressions are good. I've only had it long enough to get it all set up and calibrated to my taste. I'm so far pleasantly surprised at the depth of options available for such a low cost receiver. I was able to de-select both the subwoofer and center channel output as my bedroom currently lacks both options. The YPAO setup seems to have altered the audio quality for the better, although it's possible to tinker with both individual speaker levels as well as an EQ, which itself is in addition to basic tone controls available from the front panel. First impressions on quality are — mixed. It looks like a well screwed-together piece of kit, but it's a heck of a lot lighter than the old JVC 90's era receiver it replaced. That thing weighs a ton and feels indestructible! The remote it a bit on the chintzy side, too. The buttons are small and cramped together, the red LED action light looks straight off some Walmart bottom dollar radio. And two of the buttons (HDMI 1 and AV1 select) are dead right out of the box. Luckily I don't use those ports, but I'm still waiting to hear back from Yamaha about getting a fully functional replacement. Even though it comes with a very short little bit of wire for the FM tuner (and a big loop for AM), the tuner seems to perform pretty well but lacks the RDS text/data functionality this model has in the UK and European markets. Bummer. It also seems to lack a weak signal mute defeat, meaning you can only tune in the strongest stations without the audio cutting out. Not a big deal for most but I'd like a little more flexibility in that regard. So far, it seems like a pretty good small room/bedroom AV receiver. The flexibility of assigning ports on the back (both HDMI and component ports can be mixed and matched to the "Scene" buttons as well as to various audio-only inputs) is a welcome perk for a receiver of this price. I'm happy to report that Dolby Digital and DTS are decoded just fine, and the assortment of audio enhancements is not nearly as annoying and stupid as older receivers. These actually really do enhance the audio in some tangible way without sounding too fake. Finally, I don't know if it's the receiver or my speakers but I have to turn the volume WAY up to really get any sound out of them (they're little Polk bookshelf deals). The volume control is oddly numbered, too. It defaults to a dB scale, with -80 being minimum while maximum was +16.5 dB. Most receivers I've used with this scale top out at 0 dB. The display can be changed to a numerical scale from 0.5 to 97, if you prefer.
