This recever came in mint condition, so i expected some short comings. I was dead wrong! This receiver is powerful, versatile and has very good sound. I took my bose 601's off of my Integra to see what this yamaha could do and i was very impressed. I also like how there are 3 zones and all are powered by this one receiver. I can run 3 channel stereo in my main room, 2 channels in my second zone and 2 channels in the 3rd zone and each zone has a subwoofer output for a powered sub. This receiver is not THX certified, but at 130 watts at 8 ohms, I'm sure it could pass the test. It came with 2 remotes and one remote had never been removed from the original sealed plastic. The main remote was in flawless condition. I have decided to switch out my integra DTR 7.8 THX Ultra2 certified recevier in my main room for the yamaha. This yamaha doesn't have video processing features but it will upconvert to 1080p.Read full review

I like Yamaha receivers. They are easy to operate, dependable, and have some features most other AV receivers don't have. I had a Yamaha RX-V467 (5.1 surround) and Polk speakers. I decided to upgrade. I went to several audio shops and they wanted me to invest over $5000 in an upgrade. I was told that if I upgraded my speakers I needed 200wpc to drive high-end speakers. I reviewed what receivers were available at a moderate price. The only way to get 200wpc on my front speakers was to run a seperate amplifier. Do I really need to do that? I reviewed all available Yamaha AV recievers, including the new Aventage series, which start at $1,100 retail. I wanted a 7.2 surround system. I found the RX V2065 in a B-line (open box, discontinued, or refurburbished). I downloaded the owners manual from Yamaha first and learned all of its features and operations. This is a powerful AV reciever it has 130wpc and operates exactly like the Yamaha reciever I already have. I got the RX V2065 for half-price over buying retail. It arrived quickly and was still sealed in the box when I got it. I upgraded my two mail Polk tower speakers and moved the older mains to the rear surround position. The former rear surrounds were moved into the L/R rear fill postions. So now I was running 2x mains, 1x center, 2x rear surround, and 2x rear fill, and sub-woofer. It was easy to set up as the full audio menu is diplayed on your HDTV. Using the YPAO microphone balances the sound system to the exact postion you listen to music at. There is an easy selector on the hand control for selecting music, movie, encoder, type of listening enviornment, and any thing else you could possibly want to inject into your listening pleasure. OK! Now it's time to turn the 7.2 on. Wow! This is a high-end AV receiver. I couldn't be happier. Initially, I thought the RX V2065 would draw too much power for the outlet or get too hot in operation, not to worry. The advantage of having a receiver with high power is that one doesn't have to run the receive at full power to hear your music. The four rear speakers really provide music details I've never heard before. Seperate instruments in music and seperate voices in listening to HDTV. My front speakers are rated at 20-500wpc. I have 130wpc and it isn't even running at 1/2 power. I can also have my neighbors involuntarly share my music if I 'turn it up'. Yes, the RX V2065 plays spectacular Blu-ray movies, but it also does something else very well. One of the best features of the RX V2065 (and most other Yamamha AV receivers)it that it has the ability to take regular cable/satellite TV and make it sound like seperated surround sound. After running the RX V2065 for a few weeks I've stopped playing with the system and figured out what I like to listen to. When I'm working around the house I find that 2-channel w/subwoofer is fine for listening to music. I listen to news without the subwoofer When I want an 'experience' I turn on the full 7.2 surround and listen music or television. It's quite an experience. Short of going to a 3D movie theater experience the RX V2065 provides a better sound system than most movie theaters put out. I'm not interested in running a 3D HDTV, but if I did I would have moved up to the Yamaha Aventage system, which is 3D capable and 8.2 surround. Yamaha makes several grades/options of AV receivers. From a personal standpoint, I can tell you if you buy Yamaha, you won't be dissapointed.Read full review

This Yamaha receiver is a VERY nice receiver. I will say this one is one of a kind! It doesn't feel like all the other USUAL rx-v's. It feels unique in it's own way; it has NICE options, a nice amount of channels AND has the ability to operate two subwoofers!
