Overall a great system for the price. Connecting the receiver to different components is easy, but to set up audio features is difficult. I am a big Audioholic and enjoy using the advanced features on any a/v receiver. However, Yamaha did not make this very user friendly. It’s a must to have the remote and manual to set the audio. However, the manual is unorganized. Could use another HDMI connection for gaming. Bluetooth functionality is old school with the adapter. SIRIUS and XM radio connections a plus, but don’t use them. I like the scene component functions and the sound is great. Bass is less to be desired, but works just fine for what I use it for. If you are on a tight budget, but want a quality system, this receiver is for you.

I needed a new receiver for my surround system. This one seemed to fit the bill. The directions are alittle overwhelming. I'm still learning to set up different sound avenues. For the price, it's a very good receiver. I only required a 5 channel system for our CD, TV, Blu-ray & Satelite. This receiver so far has preformed very well. The unit will accept 6 or 8 ohm speakers.
Lightweight, well developed receiver that offers good quality, good looks and impressive features that Yamaha is known for.

Before I bought this product I did try few others and found this one as the best for my need. This 525 Watt receiver is more than enough for my large size media room. I have 4 175 watts each speakers and I still need to buy a subwoofer. Even without the subwoofer I do have a lot of sound and it feels great. This product is 5.1 channel but comes with two extra speaker connection for remote use. I bought a remote speaker connection module from Best buy for $99 and put two speakers in my game room where I can listen to the music I have in my media room. As a matter of fact I can place these two speakers anywhere in my house as they are wireless after using the module. My kids Sarah, Romeeka, Omer and Amber love their media room and they proudly show it off to their friends.
I bought this used for playing vinyl. Sounds great. Lacks enough hdmi plug-ins to use as a main room receiver and doesn't have pandora or Internet radio built in.
