Great AVR by Frank P. on vanns.com Apr 27, 2012

Great AV Receiver by Justin on crutchfield.com Jan 23, 2012
This is a great receiver. I upgraded from an Onkyo which had plenty of HDMI related problems. Setup was easy with the included microphone (although i advise manually setting some values) to achieve optimal sound. - 2 year warranty is big plus I recommend ...
 
Good value for the money by edwoodjrjr on bhphotovideo.com Dec 13, 2011
I use this for my 5.1 home theater system. My speakers are old and cheap, but this receiver produced noticeable improvement with them. Took about 10 minutes to set up. My only gripe is that you can't hide the tuner or internet radio info screen by default-you ...

Very Poor Quality by duane on amazon.com May 25, 2012
I purchased and received the Yamaha Rx-V671 7.1 Channel Home 3D Receiver around the first of April. The unit replaced a 15 year old Sony 5.1 Receiver which had finally died. All the components, speakers and wireing were the same as used by the Sony. ...
 
"Incomprehensible instructions; cannot register product." by VictorySpeedway on cnet.com Nov 15, 2011
I am not an electrical engineer. The instructions offer no clue as to how to hook this thing up. Lots of words, no instruction. There are no simple wiring diagrams. Once I get everything attached, I foresee a three-ring circus trying to adjust the #@$% ...

This receiver is garbage, buyer be ware. The receiver works sometimes and other times it displays decoder off and will not read the sound. It appears to me to be a timing issue, I have to turn my ps3, TV, Receiver, and sub-woofer all on at the same ...

BEWARE - Product Fails and Yamaha Cust Svc is horrible by LazyGuy on amazon.com Apr 22, 2012
I purchased this product at the end of December 2011. It worked fine and I had no issues until mid-April 2012. At that time the receiver would not power on. No clicks, lights - nothing - dead. So, given that it is past Amazon't return period I called ...
 
Not for Direct TV or Amp users by Drkstr318 on amazon.com Jun 12, 2012
This is a very nice receiver but after setup found the Yamaha RX-V671 has compatibility issues with Direct TV satellite receivers, glitching green and white lines up and down the screen while connected through 1080p HDMI cables. Needless to say this ...

Take this receiver, for example, the RX-V671 by Yamaha...Like the RX-V571, which is $100 cheaper, the RX-V671 has analogue video upconversion to HDMI - at up to 1080p resolution...The other thing that the RX-V671 adds is the AV Controller app which turns your iPhone or iPad into a full-featured remote control for both the Main Zone and Zone 2...It sounded really good and pushed them to extremely loud levels, distortion-free...

Yamaha RX-V671 review - Surround Sound System - Trusted Reviews
Rivals may offer more features but for the money few can match the V671’s talents with a Blu-ray track...So if you’re a little more serious about your home cinema sound – and have more cash to spend, of course – you’ll need to look further up Yamaha’s range, where you’ll find the RX-V671, a 7.1-channel network-enabled model with greater power and better features...In terms of looks Yamaha hasn’t done much to distinguish the V671 from its other models past and present, but why tamper with a winning formula...Aside from AV sockets, there’s an Ethernet port, an interface for optional Yamaha devices (the YID-W10 wireless iPod/iPhone system or the YBA-10 Bluetooth audio receiver) plus remote control and trigger ports, extra springclips for zone 2 or ‘presence’ speakers (see page 2) and FM/AM antenna inputs...
