YAMAHA designs excellent products
Amy product that Yamaha produces is well engineered and well built, be it a Yamaha Grizzly ATV or a Yamaha Audio/Video Receiver. I own both.
I have owned a Yamaha RX-A780 for 3 years now and it’s an excellent piece of equipment that allows you to “input” to it several commonly used devices of a typical homeowner, including TV cable receiver, ROKU receiver, DVD player, phonograph turntable. You can also send to it via wireless “Bluetooth” the digital music that’s on your iPhone and that will play over the speakers that you have attached to the “system” you have set up. So, in summary the Yamaha becomes the “traffic cop” standing at the intersection of several roads, directing all the incoming traffic to the right places. It is a versatile and high quality piece of equipment.
Having given all of this praise to Yamaha, I must add this word of caution for the prospective buyer of a/any Yamaha Receiver, or any brand of A/V receiver. Their is a BIG learning curve involved in understanding HOW to set up the receiver so that it “talks” properly to all the ‘stuff’ you connect to it.
It is not a plug and play proposition by any means. The manual, in digital form only, is about 200 pages and could be better written to explain adequately what you need to know. So if you are new to this subject be prepared to have some exasperating moments as you acquire the necessary understanding. IF you’re willing to put up with that you will have an excellent piece of very versatile equipment.
