Yamaha RX-V671

The Yamaha RX-V671 covers the core functionality of an AV receiver well: it sounds great and has plenty of connectivity. Its six HDMI inputs will be enough for nearly every home theater, and one of those inputs is on the front panel, which is great for...

The Yamaha RX-V671 has excellent sound quality and six HDMI inputs, including a handy front-panel input. It has a solid collection of built-in streaming-music apps including Pandora, Rhapsody, and Sirius XM. And while the user interface isn't great...

There's no built-in AirPlay support. Also, the similar Onkyo TX-NR609 costs about $100 less, although it doesn't sound quite as good. No Wi-Fi dongle is available, either, although there are plenty of solid workarounds

The Yamaha RX-V671 sounds excellent and supports several high-quality streaming-music services, but it lacks built-in AirPlay support.

Yamaha RX-V671 Network A/V Receiver First Look

We don't know about you, but when receiver manufacturers start announcing new lineups of products, we get as giddy as schoolgirls. This is our Christmas. Our Cannes. Our SXSW. Our Fashion Week. No, we probably won't be buying but we have a whole new...

There is a whole lot to like with the Yamaha RX-V671 starting with the price. At under $600, you are getting a full suite of networking features including out of the box iPod/iPhone integration via a front mounted USB port. App support is practically a...

"Best in it's class - Zero problems"

Like other reviewers, I looked at similar Onkyo, Denon and other AVRs and the number of negative reviews of those products, along with the positive reviews of the Yamaha RX-V671 drove me to buy this one - and I'm sure glad I did. With the price...

"Great value!"

I'm early in to my user experience but, so far, I'm very pleased. I'm replacing a high end Rotel receiver that was 5 years old which had some compatibility issues with newer components, limited HDMI inputs and required separate digital sound to...

Ease of setup. Multi-HDMI inputs. Great sound, features, price.

None, so far.

"Big review miss!!!"

The quality of this receiver has been noted by c|net and most user reviews, so I won't reiterate. But there is a huge oversight which makes me wonder if these products are really tested as thoroughly as they should be. If you're going to rant about how...

Great sound quality and features at a mid-level pricing.

Does not support Spotify... yet. (a possible firmware upgrade?)
