Easy set up and Great quality

 

Great product! Replaced older pream processor. Worked as discussed.

Ease of use

Update did not work the first time over the internet Used UDB drive and it updated perfectly

Great mid-range reciever

 

Just fantastic sound quality and features at this price point. The 2 HDMI outputs in particular are a great feature. Best of all is the iPad app which is great, and makes control of many features much easier. I would prefer a remote which was a little...

Remote is over complicated

Great Sound, but not good for networked audio

 

I love the sound of this receiver. I have it pushing JMLab speakers and they sound great. The reason for the low number of stars is that the networking capability is not that great. It will play for a song or two, then the receiver will stop playing...

Great receiver for the sale price.

 

First of all, I love this receiver. It has plenty of inputs for all my HDMI connections (I'm at 4 and counting# and it supports the Audio Return Channel #if your television has this#. What ARC allowed me to do is run the applications that are native to...

Tons of HDMI inputs and ARC support

Failure during firmware update

Consumer review by:

WOW! What a product. I really love it.

 

This receiver has everything. I don't know what else to say. You can hook it to the Internet, Your Computer, So many features to really mention. I had a Integra before, but the features and sound of this receiver is even better. It was only $899.99 in...

Great Receiver

 

I have it set up as 5.1 for now (since I'm upgrading my old home theatre system). I'm considering going up to 7.1, but not sure how much difference it makes.

Many HDMI inputs. Also supports older connections (digital optical, digital coax, component, RCA). All the older connections are re-configurable to which A/V output the correspond with. Sound is very crisp, and not exaggerated. HDMI Standby is a great...

I haven't had any issues yet. I did a lot of comparing, and read the instruction manual before purchasing - so I knew exactly what I was getting

Yamaha Rx-A1020

 

If you don't take the price into account then it's a great unit. I have Klipsch SF-2 ( front ),SC-1 ( center ),SS-1 ( surround ) and KSW 12 subwoofer and they require 100 watts per channel of continuous power plus a little overhead according to the...

Exceptional Sound

 

Upgraded from a 12-year old Sony AV receiver and couldn't be happier with my first Yamaha product. Even with the same 5.1 speakers and wires, the positive difference in audio quality and surround performance is immediately noticeable. Almost every...

Breathtaking sound, incredible features, built like a tank

Setup (like all complex A/V receivers), Control panel door was detached in box

Consumer review by:

Bad Mamma Jamma!

 

This is my 3rd Yamaha receiver, I've always been a fan of the clean amp power, build quality and superior design. This one is no different. Music sounds so crisp and clean its amazing! The Android app is top notch, works on both my tablet and my phone....

sound quality / Android app control / FLAC decoding / network functions / YPAO speaker setup

nothing is not so great about this thing

Consumer review by:

Well made, simple to use and connect, sounds great

 

Wanna be audiophile here who has owned some nice equipment over the years.I stretched my budget a bit, but 24 hours into ownership I still have goosebumps.Connecting and figuring out the features of an AV receiver can be daunting but it connected...

Sound, ease of use

3 day wait for mail order after making my choice. Worth it
