Yamaha RX-V573

 

AV receivers are notoriously jam-packed with features, most of which you'll never use. Yamaha's RX-V573 ($500 street price) is notably lacking many of those niche capabilities common on other receivers, but it also falls short with the one feature that...

The Yamaha RX-V573 has built-in networking functionality, including AirPlay and Internet radio. It can also be controlled with a smartphone app available for iOS and Android. And its sound quality is solid with both music and movies.

Nearly every competing receiver offers more HDMI inputs at this price level. The included remote is difficult to use, and the user interface looks painfully dated.

The Yamaha RX-V573 is a serviceable 7.1 AV receiver, but with only four HDMI inputs, competing models offer a better value.

"Very Good Yamaha Receiver"

 

I have had this unit for only a short time. My initial impressions are quite good. It has a number of options which are relatively straightforward to set, with a few exceptions noted below. What made the setup easier for me was having had a Denon...

+ Sound quality of this system is great

- No independent volume control for each zone

Decent but the wireless is misleading

 

Solid receiver overall. But I am quite disappointed because I selected this unit in part because of how much it brags about its wireless capabilities. It actually is not wireless unless you purchase a $90 seperate unit. You can hook this receiver up to...

Decent receiver for the price

 

I bought this receiver to have this system devoted just for the home theater separate from my Carver system I use for music. Although the Yamaha does a pretty good job too. Plus for the money and features it is a pretty good bang for the buck. I see...

Welcome to the confusing new world of home theater settings.

 

Had it about a week now and played with it for a couple of hours each night tweaking the settings and trying out various streaming music, tv shows and HD movies. This was a replacement for an Onkyo HTIB system that was 7.1 also, but did not have HDMI...

Top Notch Network Receiver

 

I had an older Yamaha receiver before this one that still worked great, but I really needed to upgrade to a receiver with HDMI outputs for all my HDMI compatible Components. I purchased this about 6 months ago and so far its pretty flawless other than...

Consumer review by:

Awesome Receiver!

 

Typically I don't get excited about bells and whistles on products that don't normally need them. A receiver is just supposed to channel sound through the speakers from the TV, right? Not only does the receiver work well for what we typically want it...

State of The Art

 

This New State of The Art Receiver," is worth every penny I have spent!! I have mainly used Yamaha receivers over the years both in my bedroom and living room and have been satisfied with their performances. The RX-V573 model which replaced a much...

Yamaha 573 Receiver

 

This receiver works great and the quality is terrific. Works well with my Definite Tech Speakers for theater quality. A great buy for the price of $499

Consumer review by:

Good, but old fashion quality

 

Despite being offered as an upgrade, this amplifier still lacks a wifi connection. For internet connectivity it has to be hardwired to a LAN which will make it difficult to get software updates. Typical Yamaha with flat reponse; preset "scene" settings...
