Yamaha RX-V867

With the exception of one missing feature, the new Yamaha RX-V867 is quite an interesting product. For under $900, you get full analogue and HDMI upconversion to 1080p, HDMI 1.4a with 3D, Audio Return Channel, and input switching while in Standby...

Even though it only has HDMI ports, it DOES support HDCP over DVI. My older HDTV only has a DVI port and my sources require HDCP-compliant devices. This receiver strips the audio and passes HDCP-protected content through an HDMI-to-DVI cable. This is...

The only con that I can think of relates to the volume control; it comes in discrete units of 0.5dB. There's nothing actually wrong with it (you can always find the "right" volume), but it means that at some point in the audio path your signal is being...

5 HDMI inputs ; Local Network Streaming/Internet Streaming ; Price (I stole it from the egg for $ 4 o o dollars including free shipping) ; 2 zones function separate of each other i.e. you can have zone one playing movies and zone 2 streaming music from...

I wish it could streams my avi files from my NAS ; I would have gladly paid double the price for this receiver so that I can stream videos from my NAS

Future Proof ; Can add a projector to my HT later with the 2nd HDMI ; Supports HDMI 1.4 and 3d HDMI passthrough ; YPAO setup was a breeze, it noticed I had reversed the wiring on my rear surround and I fixed it ; Preouts for 2 subs ; Zone 2 for outdoor...

Cons ; Unit is a little bigger than I expected, had to get a new entertainment center to get the advised 30cm top clearance ; Remote is not great, but solved with necessary universal remote anyways

Incredible Sound ; Future Proof (unlike the RX-V#71 series) ; YPAO for auto-calculated speaker levels ; Pandora, Internet Radio (Radio Swiss Jazz channel is soooo good!), Stream Bill Simmons podcast, Napster, Rhapsody, SIRIUS, & DLNA to connect to all...

No USB ports...The YDS-12 Dock & YID-W10 are a crock of ****, so overpriced....I just use my Blu Ray player's USB port since that runs through the receiver and has a nicer UI ; No built in WiFi, which doesn't really matter to me since my router is...

This is just a great receiver, and for the money, tough to beat. I have mine networked, and am using a Buffalo NAS unit for all the media content. Love the second zone, and the iphone/ipad app makes grilling in the backyard great, never have to go...

None so far

So far I like everything

I haven't figured out how to hook up the internet completely ; I don't like that the manual is on CD only

Incredibly fast shipping! Just as described. Sounds perfect and has tons of features, very nice processing

Networked receiver. I love net radio. I control it frequently from my ipod with Yahama's app. Great sound and setup was easy. Currently running ; Xbox 360 in via HDMI ; Wii in via Component Cables ; Media PC in via HDMI ; all output to an LG TV via...

A lot of BANG for the BUCK, 6 HDMI In, 2 HDMI Output, Streaming Music (Networking), YPAO and fantastic sound from both direct and Yamaha Sound Fields etc

To give you all the features, Yamaha skimped a little on the amp compared to previous models. HDMI Drop Out issues with Satellite Receiver and PS3 playing blu-ray, while everything works find when connected directly to my TV via HDMI. I contacted...
