  • Nice unit
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
I'm really happy with this receiver even though I don't have any speakers hooked up to it. Not using it for a speaker setup might sound like a waste of a product to some people but honestly I'm finding plenty of value in it with it's other features. The main reason I looked into getting a receiver was so I could have multiple hdmi devices hooked up to my monitor. I looked into hdmi hubs but there are a couple reasons why I've chosen a receiver instead. 1. Reliability and ease of use. Ok, so like I said I use a monitor in my room, not a tv. Monitors don't have remotes so anytime I want to change the volume or hdmi input I have to do it manually. It's a 32 inch monitor about 3 feet to the side of my bed and it's a nice arms stretch to do so. Not a big deal and while there are plenty of hdmi hubs that offer remote changing or automatic changing I worry about the reliability of those devices. There are plenty of reviews that state their hubs stop working after some months or the automatic hdmi switching starts changing inputs randomly or getting black screens and such. I just didn't want to hassle with things like that. 2. Bluetooth connectivity. This was another feature that I was looking into. Again, there are separate devices that offer this but just like hdmi hubs you will find plenty of reliability concerns. On top of that there's audio lag and previously when I bought a bluetooth transmitter I had to return it for that reason. Nice thing about this receiver is there is an adjustment for the audio to increase or decrease the audio timing but luckily it isn't an issue and the audio seems to be timed perfectly with my bluetooth headphones. It pairs up quickly too. I haven't tried the 4k upscaling with this receiver because I use a 1440p monitor but it's nice to know that it's there. Maybe in the future I will find a use for it. There's also some neat audio presets for things like movies, music and gaming. It's actually a pretty extensive list. I suppose I should also mention that each hdmi input can be named to your liking for a nice customization feel so when you flip through them you know exactly what's connected to that input. You can even use the hdmi ports when the unit is in standby mode but you won't be able to use the bluetooth connectivity. In the end I think this was a good purchase. It's priced reasonably and I'm getting good use out of it. Sound quality is great and the customizable features are a definite plus. More expensive than getting an hdmi hub and bluetooth transmitter but I think the reliability and extra features make up for this. ... show more

  • It's entry level but it does it great.
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
For what it is, an entry level reciver it is great. Haven't had it long now, about a month but it has been great. Used to own onkyo, pioneer and Harmon Kardon recivers back before HDMI and blu ray. Have used a soundbar for the past few years but finally decided to jump back on a detecated surround system. For my apartment this sounds phenomenal. I don't normally mess with the DSPs so I can't comment on those, I prefer direct sound. Could it use more power? Probably but again this is entry level stuff. I use 12 gauge speaker wire on the front 3 speakers and 14 to the surrounds and it sounds great. Front speakers are 6 ohms and rears are 8 but no trouble driving them. Dialog is crystal clear and the overall sound is warm and pleasant. Playback of Blu ray and Ultra blu ray in both DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD is such a treat, absolutely made me realize how limited a soundbar was. Music playback is fantastic, have my laptop with Jriver hooked up through HDMI for playback of FLAC and WAV audio files from 44khz/16bit all the way up to 192khz/24bit with every genre of music. Put it in direct stereo mode and it sounds blissful. DSD playback does work but only at 2.8mhz DSD64 which is still great considering the price. 4K pass through works as it should, no troubles with HDR or Dolby Vision content. Can't comment on FM or am radio playback. Bluetooth playback is alright, music enhancer does a noticible job of cleaning the music a bit, nothing extreme but does add a cetain clarity. The Bluetooth could have been a more recent standard especially since this reciver came out in 2018 but again entry level. For my Echo it is fine for the rare occasion I send audio to it. Playback of music from LG V60 over Bluetooth sounds okay but wired connection still beats wireless as far as audio is concerned and if you just playing back mp3s AAC, it won't matter, it works. 4K upscale works fine, really didn't mess with it too much because TV is normally going to do a better job of upscalling anyway. Has auto HDCP detection which is nice, allows all HDMI connections to play nice. Binding posts with Banna plug compatibility is nice to see at this price. User interface is nice and simple. One area I can see trouble with is the fact you have to go online for the manual. Again, as a entry level reciver there isn't really much to complain about. ... show more

  • Yamaha quality!
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
Excellent sound quality. Easy setup. Complicated audio menus take awhile to master, but once you do you'll be rewarded with amazing sound. Works flawless with my 4k projector and computer. 4 hdmi inputs handles all your audio and video. The auto labeling feature is amazing. I've been using it daily for two years and it performs perfectly. You'll need an external subwoofer amp which is a bit of a let down. I bought one of the small Fosi amps from Amazon that handles the bass flawlessly. Overall, an excellent receiver that will be the centerpiece of your audio and video system. Couldn't be happier. Buy it if you're on the edge of purchasing a new receiver! ... show more

  • Wow!
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
I tried a few other low-high end receivers that claim to be surround-sound and/or support 5.1 systems but THIS is what I was looking for! The first thing I have to say about the system is, once you get it up and running and figure out how to set it up, its sounds AMAZING! It picks up all those sounds I'd hear with my Sennheiser 598SE's but have not heard on any system until now. I paired this with Polk's TL1600's and the sound is seriously blowing me away. I'm not certain if I "get" all the functions or have it properly setup yet, and I have not yet used the Yaoi (sp?!) thing to have it auto setup, but as it currently stands, after hours of fiddling around and trying to get this setup, as the direction as VERY poor as many others noted. The bad. After threading my wires and screwing them all in, I eagerly wanted to try this system out. I thought I had the right setup at first, but boy was I wrong! The instructions are terrible. Go look for a reddit thread or something because what they send you is very inadequate. It took me a few hours to research and fiddle with things. The on-screen setup is helpful as well. I'm not sure why they made it so difficult to setup a 5.1 optical system. I've only owned the system for a day, and much of it was in frustration with this thing. The finger-screws for threading your audio wire through are a BIT too close to each other for my fingers. Threading audio wires through is pretty easy, however. Thats really all there is for cons. Onto pros! Pros! This sounds amazing! Clean, clear, crisp, and other C adjectives about this receiver :) I plan to re-watch LOTR's tomorrow with this an based on performance thus far I expect to be blown away! I will also likely try that mic-YAOI thing as well. It features a dimmer and panel auto-off ability! I use this in my bedroom, and I despise that everything now has a car-headlight LED which you cant turn off. You can also dim it quite a bit so when you use it in a dark room/during a movie to turn things up a notch, it doesnt blast you with the front panels display! Its like they thought this receiver through or something!! XD A star off for the awful instructions and lack of features that could easily be added to a unit of this price without driving the cost up much if at all. Also, the price jumped up quite a bit from when I was first looking for this unit. Its unfortunate but still a good cost/value item. I like this receiver a lot and its far better than others that I have tried! ... show more

  • Far superior to price comparable Sony receiver
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
I want to compare this to Sony STRDH590, which I owned before this and is of a comparable price. My Sony stopped receiving signal from its remote control within 2 years. There was no way to control many features due to this. The Yamaha has a wide range of buttons on the front if the remote fails. Now that I have this Yamaha and can compare the sound, this is MUCH better than the Sony. The sound is crisp and clear. This Yamaha receiver has a 5ch stereo expansion setting and the Sony did not even have that. This receiver also has a direct setting that turns off all extra parts of the stereo to attempt to get a clearer signal, including the front panel. The Sony has the nicer input ports (the ones that take the banana plugs) only on the left and right channel where this Yamaha has them for all five channels. The subwoofer output from the Yamaha is considerably better than the Sony and produces a cleaner sound. The Yamaha setup is extremely easy and takes just a few minutes with the included microphone. So far I haven't had too much difficulty with voices being quiet in movies. There are several applicable sound options for how to process movie input. The only downsides to this Yamaha are that it only has 4 HDMI inputs and doesn't support eARC. According to the marking ARC is only on the first HDMI input. ... show more

  • Excellent sound and function
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
We're very pleased with this unit. We use a 3.1 system in our TV area, stereo plus center channel and subwoofer. It's nice that this unit supports that. We get very nice imaging from this, and don't really miss the surround speakers. **We had to replace the old HDMI cables with new ones that could handle the larger bandwidth of 4K. If you're cables are 5-10 years old like ours, newer cables are required to carry a modern video signal. We like the Yamaha sound, and are able to EQ it easily to sound right for the room. I've used several receivers over the years of various brands. Yamaha consistently delivers good sound and reliable product. I've never had a Yamaha product fail and fewer than 15 years. There are other units out there with more gadgets and gizmos, bills and whistles, not to mention smoke and mirrors. We want a good sounding reliable unit that plays nice with all of our AV sources and TVs. If that's what you're looking for, look no further than this unit right here. If you get a good price on this, it's unbeatable. Sony, Onkyo, Denon, Marantz, etc. - they all make good units with signature sounds. If you aren't familiar with them, and If you can't listen to a bunch of stuff, buy this with confidence. Here's an unsolicited recommendation: high quality speakers will do more to improve your listening experience than any receiver. If you're looking for an upgrade, start with your front speakers. ... show more

  • Love my Yamahas
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
RX 385 replaces my much-loved 10 year old RX 375, which I inadvertently fried while experimenting. The 385 has some newer features, including bluetooth. The old model and this both use the handy YPAO function to tune the audio speakers' depth of field to the listening environment. It's a broadcast mic that you just plug into the front of the receiver for a few seconds to determine each speakers' distance from viewer. Kind of a sonic echo measurement of seating to speaker. It's a foolproof, remarkably clever, timesaving gizmo. The YPAO mic is absolutely included with this unit, looks like a little plastic cone. Also important to me, Yamaha has replaced the old spring clips for rear/side speakers, which are now the better screw and cap posts, as they have always been for the two front speakers. I recommend rocketfish HDMI 4k/8k cables to connect this receiver to your tv and to whatever other components you want, such as a bluray. Sound quality is excellent if your speakers are good. (I like KEFs.) Of course you may prefer wireless speakers, but I'm already committed to wired ones. I used rocktfish banana plugs to connect my speaker wires to the RX 385 receiver's speaker posts. Neat and clean. With a choice of 2 front, 2 rear, 1 center speaker, plus one coaxial plug in for a subwoofer, your movies and programs are going to sound far more detailed and staged than you'd get from the tv or a sound bar. It's a more immersive and compelling experience. (I use only 2 fronts and 2 rears and don't feel I'm missing anything.) Yamaha receivers and other components are my favorites: relatively inexpensive, well designed, solidly built, and not fussy to install. If you find yourself in a pickle there are a couple of helpful youtube videos. I find with the RX385 again that Yamaha does not disappoint me. ... show more

  • Sounds great
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
I replaced my 2012 Yamaha RX-V473 5.1-Channel with this one, and am extremely happy with the sound. I feel the highs and lows are so much crisper and deeper than my previous Yamaha receiver. Additionally, the setup was very similar, which made it easier to tweak to my sound preference. Of course, the menu still needs some reviewing to set it to your liking, but that’s expected with any receiver. I also played the movie The Tomorrow War on Prime to test it out the sound. Needless to say, the dialogue was clear and the explosions were shaking my living room. (In all fairness, I am running two Infinity 12 inch subs) but it was definitely deeper than before. I would recommend this receiver for your home theater setup. ... show more
