"I recently purchased this receiver and couldnt be happier with it...With the YAPO feature, which only takes a couple of minutes to run, the surround effect is outstanding...If youre like me, not an audiophile, but appreciate decent sound, I would definitely recommend this for someone who doesnt have a ton of money for toys..." read more »

"The RX-V565 is the first model up for debate (the other being the £550 RX-V765...The '565 doesn't have the upgraded audio components and you have to fiddle with spring-loaded speaker clips for the centre, surround, and surround back speakers...So, in the case of Sky+ HD, you can't enjoy Dolby Digital surround sound without sending the picture straight from the set-top box to your TV and feeding an optical cable through the amp separately..." read more »

"We knocked last year's RX-V663 pretty hard for only including two HDMI inputs, while the competition offered at least three or four...Meanwhile, the more expensive RX-V765 is touting "discrete amp configuration" and weighs in at 24.3 pounds...Again, we won't know until we listen, but we'd bet the RX-V765 is more likely to feature that signature Yamaha sound that the company's fans have come to love...Comparing these reviews to 31164 other Receivers & Amplifiers reviews gives this product an overall alaScore™ 97/100 = Excellent..." read more »

"When Pure Direct engaged, the signal bypasses the tone, loudness, balance controls, and other circuit, being fed directly to the discrete power amplifier...Rather than the usual 20Hz - 20kHz frequency response, Yamaha has given the RX-497 the ability to handle frequencies from 10Hz to100kHz (1dB...Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio and other new formats will be able to output sound over this range, so the RX-497 is fully compatible with products using these formats...The RX-497 is capable of delivering large amounts of reserve power for accurate reproduction of high-energy peaks...As befits a high performance receiver, the RX-497 is designed to be suitable for use in custom installations..." read more »

"Wanting to step up in the Yamaha receiver line, I chose the RX-V1900, reviewed here, for a multitude of reasons, one being its price, $1,400 retail...While the RX-V1900 is nowhere near the $2,000 mark, I consider it a contender...The RX-V1900 is more attractive than the V861 ever hoped to be...It looks more like Pioneer's Elite offerings than a traditional Yamaha receiver and this is a good thing...For starters, the RX-V1900 features four HDMI 1.3a inputs mated to a single HDMI monitor out..." read more »

"Select the right smartphone for your lifestyle...After the YPAO procedure was complete, the speaker balance was very good between the Surround and Main channels, but I further manually increased the Center Channel speaker level by 2db for my own personal taste...One remote is provided strictly for main system, a smaller remote can also be used for the main system, or can be set for Zone 2 or 3 operation..." read more »

"The ability to store radio presets is a nice improvement over the older receiver with its analog tuner (but too bad it is not knob-controlled!) And I do miss those beautiful analog level meters...The volume knob is nice and big, with a good feel to it (certainly much better than the 396, which felt cheap...I strongly recommend this product to anyone who loves music and wants an attractive, high quality receiver without spending a fortune..." read more »
