Pros

The yamaha rx-a830 is an * bliss for your ears. The speakers i use are the polk monitor 50's, an infinity primus pc251center channel, bose 161's for the side backs, polks for the rear surround and 2 polk subwoofers. This amp runs very cool only gets a...  Read More

Everything is in sync and even my younger daughters have figured it out. Fairly easy to set up if you're not technologically challenged. Have had no issues with setup or use.

Everything switches over flawlessly, and looks as crisp as possible. Hdmi switching is very easy and quickly operated from most areas of the room. Hdmi setup especially a breeze.

No regrets on dropping $* on it. This thing is amazing. Very satisfied with the quality of this purchase.

The only thing missing is the support of the newer codecs, like dolby atmos and dts xneo. There's not to much media that actually supports those codecs yet. Outside of a theater, i'm not sure i've heard dolby digital produced this well.



Cons

The mic auto setup is somewhat of a joke. Airplay crashes every so often but it's not terrible. There is zero response.

Very impressed with yamaha quality and with their support.


This is a very good working, high quality receiver.


Very poor support on an otherwise great receiver.


) it immediately has issues, so returned it and got my money back.

Price


I would strongly recommend it to anyone at this price, it's a steal!


I take away one star for the price, but if the price were lower you it is hard to beat this beast.


At this price point, the receiver should of came with wifi.


Great price when we purchased it through amazon!

Competitiveness


The tablet app is also much better than any other brand i tried.


A more expensive onkyo would probably be more comparable, but this yamaha is great.


Comparing this to the inexpensive onkyo, the difference was night and day, you would have thought i had different speakers plug...  Read More


That was better than any deal i found on ebay and with amazon (and amex) one is very protected.

    We are now hearing back sounds we never heard with our older almost 10 year old yamaha receiver


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i got everything and put it together the sound was pretty disappointing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I assumed it was because i got cheaper speakers but it turns out i was wrong


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    At this point i realized i needed a receiver upgrade


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i got this from amazon it was an amazing close out price of 499 but after using it i know its worth much more


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After i got everything hooked up i was blown away almost literally by how good it sounded


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The highs are very crisp and well defined the lows are punchy and not muddled at all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Comparing this to the inexpensive onkyo the difference was night and day you would have thought i had different speakers plugged into each of them side by side
