Customer Review

In summer of 2014 I was preparing my existing 5.1 system to 7.1. My former Yamaha RX-V467 AV Receiver I swapped out by the current RX-V577 and was very happy with the sound quality and overall features. However, when the beginning of November suddenly turned out the display, I decided to return the AV receiver.
As my remaining components (CD, MD, Phono, tape decks) my music system from Yamaha comes, I decided even with the new AV receiver again for a Yamaha model.

General Device Information
The Yamaha RX-V777 is currently the latest model of the RX-V Series. The unit has 7 channels and 2 subwoofer outputs. The amplifier can be connected via LAN and WLAN to the home network, or the Internet. The Wi-Fi antenna is already supplied and only needs to be connected. An extra wireless dongle is not needed here. The AV receiver can be operated and set over the network using a browser. It receives Internet radio, but you can even download music files over the network. The Yamaha dominated Dolby True HD and DTS HD and are thus also the latest BluRays correctly again.
The Yamaha RX-V777 has the classic cover-shape and can be integrated perfectly into an existing deck components plant.

Speaker Connections
The Yamaha AV receiver has on the back 9 speaker terminals. These are divided into 2x front, 2x rear, 2x side, 1x Center and Zone 2 stereo. The output power per channel is 160 watts. In addition, the RX-V777 has two passive subwoofer outputs in the form of RCA connectors. Here up to two active subwoofers can be operated in parallel.
I connected Infinity Reference 31mkII 2x speakers, 4x Canton CD220 surround speakers, 1x Yamaha NS C80 center speaker, and a Yamaha YST 015 SW active subwoofer. For the speaker cables are on the back rotary connector for bulk cable available, as well as mounting points for banana plugs. A decision on the banana plugs, so you have to remove the covers of the first rotary joint. For this one turns purely a small screw 2-3mm and pulls the covers out.

Speaker Connections
* 2x RCA Subwoofer passive
* 2x front speaker (2x 160 Watt)
* 4x surround speaker (4x 160W)
* 1x center speaker (160 watts)
* 1x Zone 2 stereo (2x 160 Watt)

Speaker calibration
With the supplied YPAO microphone can be connected speaker calibration automatically. The ideal setting of the surround speakers simply closes the YPAO mic to the YPAO connecting the AV receiver and provides the microphone on to the desired location. Ideally, to where the audience is. The setup will start automatically as soon as the micro is plugged. In order to calibrate the speaker test noise on each box play which is detected by the YPAO microphone and thus recognized the distance. The individual loudspeakers will then be leveled automatically. In the setting program in addition any errors with respect to the polarity are (+ - inversion) appears. Thus we obtain for the surround setup a decent base.

Additional Component Connections
On the case back are multiple connectivity options for example, CD, MD, tape and Phone decks. Here are a to a digital, as well as analog inputs and outputs. In contrast to the smaller models such as the RX-V577 and RX-V677, RX-V777 features of a separate phono (turntable) input and saves the interposition of a separate phono preamp. In addition to the phono connector is a ground connection, which allows you to establish a potential equalization between the AV receiver and the turntable to prevent possible interference signals. Likewise, the RX-V777 has a second HDMI output for connecting a video projector or second TV. Furthermore it has the AV receiver two coaxial and optical connectors to drive, for example a minidisk, compact disk or DAT deck. However, it can be connected to multiple video ports and devices such as VHS VCRs and camcorders via composite and component video.
Additional facilities at the back of the RX-V777 five HDMI inputs for example, Blu-Ray player and satellite receiver, and a HDMI output at which a TV is connected. But you can also connect older devices such as an old tube TV or VCR via analog component connection.

Service
A big advantage of the RX-V777 is its ease of use. You have to make the settings no longer troublesome directly to the AV receiver via the small screen, but the graphical menu can display leave the domestic flat-panel television and make this all settings. Furthermore, the device over the network can be navigated using a browser and you can configure the most important sound settings, and settings for the Internet radio. Also required service updates can be easily play through the browser on the AV Receiver.
The RX-V777 is a matter of course also an IR remote control. With this also, all functions and settings directly on the receiver. However, I personally find the supplied remote control a bit confusing.

Conclusion
All in all I am very satisfied with the new RX-V777. The device offers multiple connectivity options for other audio components. Through the existing phono connector interposing one saves a preamplifier. The AV receiver can be quickly and easily integrated into the home network via WLAN. The sound quality is really great and I think my predecessor receiver. For volume, I can not say much really. I live in a detached house, no neighbors. Especially when I look at live concerts on Blu-Ray, I turn the system sometimes to love. But more than 50% of the possible maximum volume, I have not dared. But that's enough, that the windows and doors shaking. But again, the sound comes to crystal clear and powerful.
I can see the Yamaha AV Receiver 7.2 Recommend without hesitation!
