Perfect for the price by Jamison Sacks on amazon.com May 16, 2012
Got this on sale (60% off!) right when I needed to get a new receiver as the old one had died. This device works perfectly and for those of us not interested in spending $$$$$$ for sub decimal sounds that the human ear really can't perceive, it's awesome. ...
 
Yamaha Adventage by N/A on newegg.com Jan 17, 2011
While my unit came with firmware 1.17 and played 3-D from my cable box and PS# without a problem, I did perform the recommended firmware update to version 2.5. You have to download a .wav file and burn to a CD. You then have to play the Cd unfiltered ...
 
Excellent Home Theatre Receiver by MSU 1966 on crutchfield.com Oct 4, 2010
I have had this Yamaha reciever for two weeks and it has delivered everything I expected. This is my 3rd surround sound receiver in 15 years. I started with a Yamaha, switched to Onkyo and now back to Yamaha. Each one has been an improvement from the ...

Outstanding mid range receiver for the price about $600 by captaindan111 on cnet.com Jan 25, 2011
The onscreen menu system is very nice. This receiver has a built in zone 2 amp, so you don't need an additional amp to run zone 2, which is a nice space saver. The automatic speaker setting device (YPAO) is fun to use. I like tweeking my own speakers ...
 
Sounds much better than my Denon AVR-2807 and my Onkyo SR805 by Laurent Casado on amazon.com Feb 4, 2012
Excellent receiver for the price period. It's my first Yamaha gear and it sounds much better than my previous Denon AVR-2807 or my Onkyo SR805 that weight twice the Yamaha and end up on fire (I will never buy Onkyo anymore). I was surprised how musical ...

damaged box by nancyp on newegg.com Aug 23, 2011
My receiver arrived yesterday in a box that has several damaged spots that penetrated through the box. The box is dirty and looks like it has "tire" tracks on one side of it. It appears to have been tossed around a great deal. I hope the unit was not ...
 
Disappointment by Steve on amazon.com May 14, 2011
After owning for about 2 weeks the sub out (all of the preamp out actually) stopped working. Yamaha customer service was not helpful! Had to RMA these back to seller and get new one. (I didn't buy on Amazon, but thouoght I should write this here so ...
 
Had to RMA by N/A on newegg.com Apr 2, 2011
This was my first Yamaha home theater component. I had high expectations as this receiver is from the Aventage line. hope this was an anomaly. I'll repost another review after I receive the second one.

Not sure what I'm missing here by RHR3 "Music Lover/Book Fan" on amazon.com Sep 5, 2011
This receiver is probably fine for home theater applications. The variety of inputs is also very good; but for audio, I love the listening experience from a well-recorded, well-produced CD or a high-bit-rate download. I got this receiver to use as a preamp ...
